Chanyeol's POV

I watched her as she ate her ice-cream happily. I smiled, as she twirled the spoon in her bowl, trying to obtain the perfect scoop of mango ice-cream. She was wearing her glasses, trying to hide her puffy eyes from the amount of crying she had done this last week. Her hair was down, and it had grown much longer from when I first met her. Her bangs were not almost below her eyebrows, ready to get trimmed.

"Jieun-sshi?"

"Hmm? What is it?" She looked up from her ice-cream, and noticed that I had barely touched mine, "are you not hungry?"

"Ahi.. I just.. Jieun-sshi.. It's okay.."

"Okay about what?" She peered at me innocently. I took a deep breathe in. Face it Chanyeol.. Kai told you everything, now you just need to fix it. This is your only way to make it up to her, after all you've done to her.. To her.. and Kai.. To everyone.

"It's okay, that you don't like me.." I sighed, and tried to avoid her eye contact, "I know that you probably think I'm weird.. Or even dorky. But, I know you just like me as a friend.. or a brother.. or whatever.. I just.. I know that you probably don't like me, maybe because of that–"

"Chanyeol-sshi.. It's not that.. I do like you–"

"No.. No.. just don't worry.." I tried to crack a smile, but I could feel my voice and face falter before my eyes. Don't cry in front of her.. Don't do this, she can hear you. She can hear the false lies in your voice. She can hear it all, "I don't need to hear the but's.. It's fine."

"Chanyeol-sshi. I need to tell you the truth.." She put down the spoon, and placed her hand over mine, "there was this incident.. Six months ago. I was at a party, very similar to the one we just had two nights ago. Kai and a couple of our friends were really drunk, and we played this game.. Spin the bottle.. It was fate–Ani–it accidentally landed on my two good friends. One of them I had loved, I loved him so much since I was little. I don't know whether it was because he was like a brother to me, or that I had known him so well.. I just thought that we would always be together, it wasn't until I saw them go out weeks later, I couldn't deal with it.. I wanted to forget him.."

Jieun-sshi.. I wanted to call out her name. I wanted to get up and hug her so tight. I wanted to cradle her, and runaway. I wanted to protect her, to throw away all the misery floating around us into a treasure chest. I wanted us to be together, and be away from all this gloom. But we had to face it.. It was inevitable.

"Was that him.. Was that Baekhyun?" She nodded, and I winced. It was him.. I knew it, when they looked at each other it was something I could only feel. There was this connection between them, this feeling of love that floated, but also feeling of grief. Some strong connection fell between those two, but some weird barrier had prevented them to speak properly, "why didn't you tell him you loved him?"

"Because I thought he was happy.. But my body continued to weep, as I saw him so happy with her.. It wasn't until I met you Chanyeol. I was completely locked out from this world, like I lost my one and only key to happiness. I met you, and you were my only friend to lean on. I was unable to talk to Kai, because he already knew too much.." I knew too little, just like you knew too little about my friends.. About Kris..

"Chanyeol-sshi.. I'm sorry. I do love you, just maybe not the way you think right now.. I want to, but I don't think I can ever fall back in love, not with what I've been through. I'm too afraid to get hurt again.." I took another deep breathe, and I noticed we were holding hands. She was holding so tightly onto mine.

"Jieun-sshi.. It's okay. He deserves you.." I deserve you. I worked hard to try and gain your trust. Our friendship. I didn't know that all my hard work was just building onto this barrier, destroying your relationships with others.. "he loves you, and I know you love him.. It just might be too hard for you guys to face it, but just know.. I'm here for you.."

She smiled, "I know Chanyeol-sshi. You'll always be there.." I'll always be there,even though you aren't mine anymore.. I really am the gigantic pabo.. Jieun-sshi' gigantic pabo, Park Chanyeol..

I saw this tall boy leaning against the counter. I noticed him wander back and forth, unable to figure out where he was going. I stood there gripping onto my IV pole. He was tall, and he had cut his hair a bit shorter. I noticed some bruises, his purple bruised eye had matched mine exactly. It didn't seem he had been eating much, as his cheekbones were gaunt, and he was so pale and sickly looking. I cleared my voice, and continued on my path.

I stopped in my tracks, and looked up to him, "Byun Baekhyun?"

He turned to me, and looked at me with questioning eyes, "neh?"

"It's me.. the boy who fought alongside with you.." He nodded, and I noticed him blush a bit.

"You are Park Chanyeol, geudae-yo?"

"Yes.." I beamed and smiled, I noticed the ends of his lips curl into a small smile. I'm happy virus Park Chanyeol.. I can make anyone smile.. I can do anything..

"Are you looking for someone–"

"Deh.. Ah Jieun­–I mean.. No–No I just wanted to visit–" I chuckled and patted him on the back.

"Don't worry. Jieun-sshi will be back, she just left a bit. She'll return.." He scratched the back of his head, and looked down at the ground, "Byun Baekhyun?"

"You can call me Baekhyun.. It's fine.." He looked up and just smiled, "I'm sorry.. I wasn't just looking for Jieun.. but I was looking for you.."

"For me?" I laughed, "it seems like I'm popular today for once. I actually have my own visitor!"

"Chanyeol-sshi.. I need your help?"

"My help.." I can do anything, I am happy virus Park Chanyeol..

"I.. I want you to help me make amends with Jieun-sshi.." I nodded and smiled. I am happy virus Park Chanyeol.. I am Jieun's gigantic pabo Park Chanyeol..

Don't worry, it's not the end of the fic just yet. Aha, it seems like Chanyeol finally found out the truth about Jieun-sshi and her group of friends (this is why the prologue was talking about a bottle). For those of you wondering why Baekhyun came to see Chanyeol, he's trying to 'not in particularly win over Jieun', but instead properly apologize considering he kissed Eunhyee in front of her. I know you guys are still probably wondering about what happened to Kris, don't worry things will be explained! I don't know when I can update again, but hopefully soon, my schedule is getting tigheter huhu T^T! Thanks for reading~
