“Why do you look so serious?”

Why? Oh, why indeed dear sister of mine; however, it is not my place to say because I know you. I know you will hate the words that will come out of my mouth and I know you won’t listen because of two reasons. Your first reason is because you think I’m being overprotective, so I’m making this up to control your life. Your second reason is because you don’t think he would ever hurt you, so you lash out at me only to find out my words were true.

In retrospect I cannot blame you for thinking these things because any normal sibling relationship works this way. If you decided to listen to me all the time, then you would be a copy of who I am, and you would never find your place in this world. I wish for you to forever remain happy and full of life, but sometimes you need to be told the harsh truth. Which is why I look so serious and why people at school call me cold hearted.

“There’s something I know that you don’t, but I wonder if I should say it because if it came from you then you won’t listen.”

“Changhyun, what are you talking about? Of course, I would listen to you, you’re my brother.”

“I know you Y/N and I know you won’t.”

“Well, give me a hypothetical and if I can’t see reason in it then you’ll know.”

My dear sister, you have no idea what kind of thing has happened right in front of you. The boy you thought was the one, the boy who promised to love and cherish you forever has broken his promise. If I tell you then you will hurt for months, but if I say nothing and you find out then you will hate that I held in my words. You and I, this is a give and take so will you take what I have to give? We are family and I will not let anyone hurt you ever, this I promise you.

“Fine, let’s say that I’m dating someone, and they cheat on me, but I don’t know it. You find out and wonder if you should say anything because one of two things will happen if you do. One: you tell me, and I hate you for what you said, I don’t believe you and think you’re being overprotective of me. Two: you tell me, and I don’t think she would ever hurt me, so I lash out at you only to find out your words were true.”

Those eyes of yours, see how they grow in size just by my ‘hypothetical’? I know what your answer would be and it’s only ‘because you want to know what I’m keeping from you. Are you really ready to understand what Love means in this world of smoke, mirrors, lies, beauty, and dreams? Sometimes I wish I could keep you safe from everything here; you are my sister and best friend and because of that I will go the extra mile for you.

If you must think, then do it now; for every second that goes by the worse the lie becomes between you and him. He’s played many girls before you; I’ve seen the way he moves through the hoards without ever stopping long enough for one person. That boy is a monster and when you told me what happened at school that day I saw you smile so wide I worried you would break you face. It was that day that I saw red roses delivered to the house while you were at school. It was that day that I saw his lie instantly but remained upbeat, so you wouldn’t be worried about my opinions.

“I would tell you. At the end of the day we are family, which is stronger than many other bonds we may have with other humans. At the end of the day it is you and I who are there for each other unconditionally.”

“I hope you remember what you just said because I have some news for you.”

I see the fear in your eyes; it’s clouding your senses, causing you to lose sight of what is reality and what is a dream. For your sake I hope you can remember what you chose to say to me just now, because if not then we will have to pick up the broken pieces that hard way. All those memoires will shatter into glass that I know you can’t touch without constant worry. You will cut yourself on those memories, all the dreams you shared with him will no longer exist in this world.

“Your boyfriend is cheating on you. I saw him with another girl at the café down the street from school. He was holding her close, even kissed her on the lips. If you don’t believe me then I do not blame you. If you do believe me then I will help you through this. Just know that whenever you are ready, I am here.”

I walked away from you because I knew you would yell, because I knew you were heartbroken, because I knew you were stunned beyond belief. My words remain true though as I have no reason to lie; it does not benefit me in any way to do such a cruel thing. Will you go talk to him? Will you try to make him love you again? Will you hurt yourself further? These are questions that you must answer for yourself and I honestly wish for a happy ending even in this dream of yours.

Two days passed, and you still wouldn’t talk to me, but I’m not surprised. You forgot the words you said before I told you the truth and now you are trying to make your choice. On a certain level I believe that you know what I said is honest, but you need to find out for yourself. Do you remember that day that he was late to pick you up at the house? Saying something about having to buy groceries for his parents because they were busy for the day. That same day I had seen him with the same girl, one arm wrapped around her waist as if she was going to break if he let go.

Another day I had seen them together at the park where you and I take the dog for a walk. They were having lunch under the shade; they seemed to peaceful in that moment. He never noticed me any of the times I saw him and for that I am grateful. My dear sister, will you be able to walk away from him without regrets once you know the truth? For your sanity I hope you can leave him without looking back.

It’s been two weeks since you last talked to me and I wonder what’s happened to you during that time. You don’t say much anymore to people; you even go so far as to ignore me when you come home. However, I don’t mind the silence because I know you need as much time as you can get. Whether or not you found out the truth for yourself yet, I will be here waiting to help you when you want it. At the end of the day we are family and I will never leave you behind.

Now that a month has passed, will you talk to me about how you are feeling? If not, then that is understandable, I will not push you to speak about it. What you two had was special; at one point he loved you with every fiber of his being. I remember that night he came to take you to the school dance. I remember the happiness that shone in his eyes and the admiration he had for you. I know he did love you dealer before all this happened, so do not worry about his love being a lie.

“You were right about him.”

“Pardon?”

“He cheated on me for so long… it happened right in front of me without knowing it. You were right.”

“Y/N… I never wanted it to end that way for you two.”

“I know, but it did and now I need your help.”

“At the end of the day,”

“We are family.”

“And I will never leave you behind.”

The day didn’t start off bad; it was quite the opposite until you walked into your first class and one of the meanest students threw a carton of milk at your head. That wouldn’t have been so bad if you were able to change into other clothes while the ones you wore to school dried off. Your school has uniforms and does not allow for regular clothing; thus, you were stuck in your drenched clothes until school ended. Class started off in the usual fashion; your teacher entered the room and bid you all good morning then the lesson began.

First period went by without any other mishaps and you hoped it would stay that way for the rest of the time you were on campus. That ended up being true and then lunch rolled around; you and your best friend sat outside by the statues under a tree eating in peace. You two talked about the day, making each other laugh and spill the tea on other people. This would have gone well and then a tennis ball smacked you in the back of the head, which caused you to drop the rest of your food on the ground. The students who caused this mishap didn’t apologize for it and simply went on their merry way to playing once more. Your best friend didn’t say much but he could tell you weren’t having any of these problems.

The last period of the day was seemingly smooth; you were taking photos for your binder and listening to music as you made your way around campus. A few times you stopped to stand in the sunlight and soak in its warmth before you had to go back to your in-class homework: taking photos. While walking around you found a rather beautiful patch of flowers and as you lifted your camera to your face an arrow came flying at you. It cut into your skin and you found it was the same students who hit you with a tennis ball.

Your school doesn’t tolerate bullying of any form which lead you and the other students into the principal’s office to talk about the events of the day. After an hour you all were sent home; you and your bandaged leg and the students with in school probation. Like any good friend, yours was waiting outside the office so he could get you home safe. When you came out of the office he immediately rushed to your side to help.

“Ready to go home?”

“I’ve been ready since first period.”

“Get on my back then. We’re not too far from school so it’s an easy walk.”

You climbed on his back and off you two went. That didn’t really mean much though, your apartment is five blocks away from campus so you could have made it on your own. Though your best friend isn’t like that, he’d never leave you to go alone in such a state. You two live close to each other anyway and you walk home together every day. The walk was silent as he brought you home, only letting you down so you could open the door to the building. The complex is three stories tall and you live on the first floor at the very end of the hall while he lives on the third floor in the middle of the hall.

“Wei, you can stop carrying me now. I’m home and you’re tired.”

“While that might be true, you’re my best friend and I will not let you hurt yourself further.”

“How am I gonna do that?”

He gave you a knowing look that dared you to test that theory out and you decided that it was best to just leave it alone since he’s usually right. With the silence he smiled and brought you to your door. He helped you inside and sat you on the couch before dumping his backpack on the ground next to you. It’s not unusual for you two to hangout after school and most of the time you guys aren’t apart from each other.

You let him do whatever it was he set out to do in the kitchen and pulled out your phone to waste some time; also, to get your mind off the events of the day. It had been by far the worst school day of your life seeing as how you came back with a gash that’s a foot long and half an inch deep into your leg. While you were busy on your phone, Wei secretly watched your facial expressions change rapidly as he made you two a snack. He didn’t like seeing how upset you were and in his usual way of approaching a problem he brought out the food then sat cross legged on the floor in front of you.

As he grabbed a carrot his gaze on you changed from his normal relaxed state to that of inquiry, which you did not fail to notice. With a heavy sigh you sat up a bit more from your reclined position on the couch and held out your hand so he could give you an apple. A small smile formed on his lips as he handed it to you but it quickly faded as he focused on what he wanted to say to you.

“We should talk about what happened today. I know you’re not okay.”

“This is as bad as it’s gotten and I don’t know what I should do.”

“Thought of transferring?”

He bit into a carrot after those words and waited for you to answer his question. While he ate, his facial expression went from concern to cute patience; his eyes widened a bit and his chewing became childlike.

“Why would I leave a school that gives me what I need and want? Why would I leave my best friend here?”

“Come on Kiddo, I know you have your moments where you hate it here.”

“That may be true but there’s too much I like about this place. Besides, we’re like siblings, we’re basically joined at the hip. You can’t get rid of me that easily.”

Wei laughed a bit at the last comment; he would never try to get rid of you. Though it did often cross his mind about whether or not you were genuinely happy to be at this college. In the city there are many to pick from but you ended up going to the same one as him.

“I would never try to get rid of you. I just wonder why you came to this college if you’re so unhappy.”

You hadn’t really thought about how much your school sucked until that moment and the expression on his face told you not to lie to him. Striking really; the way he was able to pin point things about you that no one else could and make you forget all your troubles with ease. Yet in this moment he became a trouble because you thought you gave a good answer and an honest one at that. He saw right through it; you’re staying because you don’t want to leave him, alone nor do you want to have to start over again.

“I’d never thought too deeply about leaving because I don’t think I could live without my best friend. I don’t want to start over so that’s why I stay here.”

He saw your face crumple in front of him; watching the way your eyes grew cloudy and how your right eyebrow twitched a little whenever you got upset. He didn’t want you to feel bad about leaving but he knew that choosing to stay at this school wasn’t a good idea either. The only thing he can do is try to make you feel better and hope that in the future you can make the best choice for yourself. Rather than trying to get an actual answer from you, he decided to change the subject completely.

“It just occurred to me; you owe me a dance.”

“From when?” “When I saved you from the worst prom date of your life? Reggie or something like that? He was about to get all greasy and shit before we finally called it.”

“Ew, he really was gross. Actually, he’s still gross, thanks for reminding me numb nuts.”

Wei raised an eyebrow as he watched you try to smack him but failed rather miserably due to his ability to move compared to your rather immobile state. After you missed a few more times he flicked you in the forehead before standing up, stretching his hands out to you as he loomed above you.

“Oh hell no, you’re not getting me off my ass mister.”

“Y/N, you owe me. Plus, it’ll be fun! You need some fun seeing as how boring you are on a daily basis.”

“Excuse me??”

Without thinking of your leg, you shot up to match his intensity which resulted in you almost falling over. Luckily Wei caught you and helped you lean against the arm of the couch before he started giggling like a high school girl.

“What’s so funny?”

“Nothing really, shortcake. I always forget how much of a height difference we have.”

“YA!”

You grabbed the closest object, one of the pillows from the couch, and began to attack your best friend with it. He only laughed harder at your attempted to get back at him for calling you shortcake; his favorite nickname for you since you’re just so tiny and cute in his eyes. Oddly enough he let you hit him a few times, continuing to laugh in amusement.

“Now that you’ve gotten that out of your system, why don’t you and I dance together? It’ll be like old times, when I had to teach you how to do everything.”

Wei poked your cheek in an endearing manner then hoisted you to your feet, keeping a soft but steady hold on your hands so you wouldn’t fall over again. In response to his comment you rolled your eyes but allowed him to think what he wished about dancing. He pulled out his phone to look for a song, then finally landed on one that he knew you loved and also related to life at the moment.

“You’ll like this one, Kiddo.”

He hit the play button then set his phone down on the coffee table; slowly the music filled the room. You stood still for a moment to let the beat sink into your body, allowing yourself to close your eyes to concentrate. Not even two seconds later, you opened them again to the feeling of your best friend letting go of your hands to create a chill and cute dance.

I woke up pissed off today And lately everyone feels fake Somewhere I lost a piece of me Smoking cigarettes on balconies

With each lyric Wei found something funny he could do to make you smile, one of which was imitating you when you got mad. He scrunched up his face as he acted out your usual mannerisms during our bad mornings. This made you break out into a smile as you watched your best friend turn into a clown, not minding it at all though since this is one of the reasons why you two are friends.

What he did next you could never have expected him to do. As the song continued he started to sing the lyrics; the parts he felt like you needed to hear the most from him as a reminder but also for support. He continued his silly behavior as he sang and through it all you could tell he genuinely wanted the best for you and that you two would never break apart. He’s your best friend for a reason and you are his best friend for a reason.

“Last year took a toll on me, but I made it with you next to me. Around the world and back again I hope you're waiting at the end.”

As the song came to its end Wei crossed one leg behind the other and bowed in such a cheeky way that caused you to smile eve wider. When he raised his head to you, he winked then stood up and pulled you into a hug. He placed his chin on your head, rubbing your back in soothing circular motions.

“You may have had a shit day, but you will always have me.”

Jinhoo: Thoroughly shocked you became an idol, especially since you had said nothing to him about it and he only found out when you appeared at Music Bank. Nevertheless he’ll be incredibly happy and supportive of you on this journey and will tell you to ask him for anything if you need help

Kuhn: Is also shocked that you’re an idol now but very excited to see how you and your team progress on this path. He’ll be so proud of you when you finish your debut stage and probably tackle you to the ground. Yes he scared the life out of half of the crew and your bandmates but it’s fine... I think..

Kogyeol: He knew you wanted to see what it would be like to be an idol, but he never thought he’d find you waiting on the sidelines of the stage looking horribly nervous. His first reaction is taking care of you and making sure you’re feeling good about going up on that stage. Deep down he’ll be extremely proud and might brag about his best friend being a new idol.

Wei: Once he realizes that you’re an idol he’ll be in shock for a few seconds since his brain has to register what he’s seeing. When that passes he’ll be the first to congratulate you and tease you. Don’t mind the giant sign and screaming that’s going on in the nonexistent crowd during your practice, it’s just your idiot best friend.

Bitto: He’ll have this swag older brother vibe rolling off him when he finds out. He’s taught you a lot during your training and to see you finally living your dream is the the greatest. On stage he’ll cooly congratulate you but off stage he’ll probably start running around you in circles speaking too quickly for you to understand him. 

Wooshin: Not surprised you became an idol, but was surprised that you didn’t tell him until you guys saw each other at the broadcasting company. He won’t drag on about how you didn’t tell him yourself, he’ll be more impressed that you went for your dream and happy that he’ll get to see you more often. 

Sunyoul: HECK. HECK. HECK. Words will not be able to express how Sunyoul is feeling about this. Let’s just say that you becoming an idol is more exciting than Xiao graduating from high school. He’s seen how hard you worked to get to where you are now and all the growth you and your team went through. He’ll be over the moon about your debut and will probably be shouting excitedly at the tv in the dressing room as he watches you perform.

Gyujin: Is so excited and proud of you for achieving your dreams that he’ll want to treat you to dinner and talk about what it was like for you. He’ll have all his attention on you and probably tease you if you accidentally missed something during your performance. He’ll be like an older brother to you in this moment; wanting to know how you felt you did and encourage you for the future. 

Hwanhee: As soon as he finds out you’ll actually be able to see exclamation marks and hear airhorns blaring through his head as he tries to say something coherent. He’ll be so excited for you and want to share some experiences with you as you progress as an idol. He may not always be serious but this is one of the times where he’ll rise up to it.

Xiao: Because he’s your best friend he will be very “awkward” when it comes to congratulating you but you know he’s sincere about it. He’s seen you through the trainee years and now that you’re living your dreams he’s beyond words. You’re like a younger sibling to him thus he’ll tease you but in a loving way.
