All along. the guy. The guy who comforted me. Showered me with care and concern. No complains of how late i called him. Even if it's 3am in the morning. He talked to me. Till i fell asleep. Till he fell asleep. He was. Him.

It means. He knew me. He knew I was alone. He knew I would end up in this school. He knew. He's there. Always there. A tear forced it's way out of my left eye. I tried to hold it back. Then his warm hands embraced me. He pulled me closer then whisper.

"Everything will be okay."

Those words were simple. Yet calm me down every single time. Just like how my mother did.

Uncontrollably, tears started rolling out. I miss my mother. I miss her so much. He knew I was crying. He pulled me in even closer. I could hear his heart beat. Steady, as if being controlled.

I woke up realising my crying has taken over my mind and decided to allow me into my dreamland. He was beside me, all these time. I looked at my watch. Apparently he skipped 3 lessons with me. Allowing me to sleep on his shoulder. He, himself, was dozing off. It must be because of last night. His face was angellic. Just like a doll. His hair was pure black. As if perfect, his features were flawlessly beautiful. I took moments staring at him before deciding to leave. When I was about to stand up, I realise he was holding my hand. Tightly. Even in his dream.

I realise my hand from his grip and stood up, when i'm just about to leave, he grabbed my wrist. Apparently i woke him up.

"Don't go."

Those words. It shocked me. No one have ever said those words. To me. Ever since my mother died, people avoided me. Asking me to go away. No one has asked me to not go.

His warm body leaned against mine. I could feel his face against mine. I was stunned. I didn't move. 

"Promise me, don't leave me. don't leave this school, don't go missing again."

Again. What does he mean by again.

I didn't nod, I didn't shook my head. But i knew he should know my answer. 

He grabbed his bag not releasing my wrist. It didn't hurt though, It gave me a sense of security, just when i needed it.

He didn't release me although thousand of girls were staring at us as we walked pass classes and classes.

" Who is she, What is she doing with baro oppa? omo my poor heart." questions filled classes. Even guys were asking.

We stopped at a class. He didn't release me although he knew i didn't like getting unwanted attention. But even though thousand of eyes were on me. I just needed him to be with. To be there for me.

"Oh, baro-sshi. And..."

"She's the new student."

'Oh! I guess they didn't give me the updated attendance then! Please come in and have a seat"

We didn't even get scolded by the teacher for being late. We just sat quietly. Even when we took our seats, He still didn't release me. I stared at him, He knew I was glaring at him so he turn to look at me. I then look down at our hands then back to him. He followed suit but still held on. He pulled me closer to his face then

" I told you not to go. I'm pretty sure you won't leave me. But for safety purpose, I'll have to cling on your like a koala bear so you won't disappear or go missing again."

I stared at him but he returned a smile.
