Junhong slowly trailed behind the big crowd of students, as the school bell rung again. Everyone had cleared out already and he still took slow steps. He felt like there was no one to even care for him now. His brother was away at college, his parents wouldn’t be home for another couple of months from their travels, and his sister was on a long-time honeymoon. He had the whole house to himself, but he didn’t have anything important to do, though he enjoyed being by himself at some times. But this time, it was different. He actually wanted someone with him. By the time he had gotten home, Junhong lazily threw his backpack somewhere, slamming the door shut. Laying on the couch, he sighed, looking around the empty house. What to do..., he thought. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. He got up and answered it, only to find his neighbor, Zitao, standing there. “Hey Junhong,” the Chinese man greeted with a smile. “How are you?” “Trying to be happy when no one’s home. But, I’m not okay now, I guess. I really want someone’s prescence.” Zitao noticed the sadness in Junhong’s voice, now asking for permission to come in. “You’re welcome to come in,” the younger said. And so, Zitao did. Hearing the door close behind him, Zitao watched as Junhong sat on the sofa, still upset. He approached the saddened boy, patting his shoulder. Junhong looked at Zitao with his notable, sad puppy eyes. The older slowly leaned down, placing a soft kiss on Junhong’s lips. His own lips were moving on the younger’s affectionately, caressing the back of his neck gently, as he pulled away. Junhong looked at Zitao, hugging him tightly. “Would...would you stay with me, hyung?” “Of course, Junhong. Of course.”

My heart really need it! ¨*-*
