BEST FRIEND" : JESON CHEN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoHS5toTMdg

A petite woman walked out of the classroom with a bored expression on her face, as if she had just gone through one of her worst moments. Her white skin stood out louder than everyone who crowded out of the room. She raised a hand to brush away her colored hair. The mocha sugar that spreads in beautiful curls is careless. With furrowed eyebrows clearly showing annoyance, she didn't know that her every expression was in the eyes of another woman.

A woman who is known as a "close friend"

She picked up her phone and called the person who was supposed to let her see her right now, but she still couldn't see that person's face. It made the irritation that was already there even greater.

“Are you calling someone?” A voice from behind made her turn around. She met the person she was waiting for, waving a phone that displayed her own name and smiling mischievously.

“Koi, why are you late?” The small figure threw the slightly taller person with her small voice.

“Slow?....I'm waiting for you to come. It's been 10 minutes already. And one more thing…” The person in front of him walked closer to the little person.

“You know…I never let you wait.”

This is 'Koi Viriya', a close friend of 'Dujdao'.

Close friends who have nothing in common

Viriya…calm like water

Like a star...hot like fire

Viriya… firm and steady.

Like a star...sensitive and changeable

Viriya…warm and understanding

Like a star...I don't even understand my own heart.

Since when have we been friends?...

Since we lived in dormitories next to each other No…longer than that.

Since we entered the same university No…longer than that.

Since we sat next to each other in high school No…longer than that.

Ever since we put each other's names as best friends' names in our gradebooks in middle school. No…longer than that.

Since we were 10 years old, Koi was the only one who dared to tell everyone that she was friends with a mean kid like me.

That's when...

'You guys can stop teasing Dao.'

'Do you know this new girl, Koi?' The girl with pigtails and wide eyes smiled at me before speaking confidently.

'You are my friend'

And that girl with pigtails grew up to be the beautiful, sharp-eyed woman in front of me now. With the same lovely smile as before.

Hasn't changed at all.

“What are you upset about? You're frowning from afar," Koi asked, snatching the file in my hand to help carry it.

“The guys in class think I'm arrogant.”

“Give me a number?”

"um"

“Not allowed?”

"um"

"Why?"

"do not like"

“May like it”

"no"

“Just try…”

“Tails! If you talk about this again, I will throw away all the cactus you love so much.”

This is Duchdao, a mean woman, strong-willed, cranky, and able to do everything.

But there is only one person in the world who can laugh at these heinous acts.

Her best friend...

“You, I saw it on the net. Cactus can have flowers too.” The little man squatted down and looked at the tray of cactus that the other person had planted on the balcony. We regularly take turns entering the other person's room as if it were our own room.

“Yes,” the landlord replied, busy heating up food in the microwave for dinner.

“It's beautiful,” she said, looking at every tree.

“Referring to cactus or its flowers.”

"flower"

“Ah!” The cactus grower slowly walked over and squatted next to him, proudly looking at the plant he had planted as if it were something precious.

“Then why doesn't your cactus have any flowers?”

There isn't any at all…

The person in question was silent and turned to look at the little person who was seriously staring at her tree as if looking for something in those tiny creatures.

She looked at her best friend's hair in front of her. It was tied loosely, looking at every strand of hair that spread across its white face. Look at the eyelashes that flicker rhythmically, the bridge of the nose that stands out clearly, the white, smooth cheeks that are stained with a faint pink blush, the lips that are bitten and pursed like they always do when this friend is excited. or use thought

I remember every detail of this friend to the point where I thought that if it were a game and only parts of me could be seen, I would still remember this as my friend.

…My dear friend…

“It's not time yet…” I replied.

Every flower has its time...

Relationships are the same...

Today there was a presentation and by the time I got out of the classroom it was dark and it was an hour past my appointment with Dao.

…even though I had actually said that I would not let you wait…

Plus, that girl refused to read the message I sent telling her to go back before mine. Her cell phone wouldn't ring.

'Is something going to happen?'

The rain falling heavily reminded me of people who never carry an umbrella and don't think about carrying one with the reason that

'Why do I have to carry it when I have you…'

That was the reason for that spoiled woman. It doesn't sound right, does it?

But to me, it sounded really cool.

I quickly opened my umbrella and ran through the rain towards her school building. Everyone is used to the fact that I'm always in a hurry when making appointments.

I just don't like making people wait...especially this close friend.

I ran to the school building until I saw a familiar figure standing in front of the building sheltering from the rain, which made me smile to myself for no reason.

“Definitely got screwed.” Even though I said that to myself, I still couldn't stop smiling.

At least I'm still your umbrella...

But when I walked closer I found that she was not standing alone, a tall man was standing next to her. Chatting with her Made her laugh and she was smiling at him.

Can our happiness be taken away so easily like this?..

Disappeared even though I hadn't even cracked a smile yet.

I like that you're arrogant...because I don't want you to get close to anyone.

I like that she's a jerk...because I don't want anyone to get close to her.

I like that she's headstrong...because I don't want people to know that she's cute.

I like that you're bad...because I want you to be good to only me.

I know you're cute. Like when I was 10 years old when I accidentally saw how cute you were when you were feeding those stray cats, you were so cute that I wanted to keep your cuteness to myself.

I'm just a selfish person. who is jealous of the cuteness of his close friend

“You made me wait,” I teased Vin like that, but I couldn't help it when I saw this girl's innocent face.

"Sorry" is the type of person who apologizes even though they did nothing wrong. To make the other party's mood cooler

“I sent you a message telling you I was staying up late. You will be able to return first.”

"My cell phone's battery ran out." Why does Koi look so depressed? Did I swing too hard? Not at all.

“Oh Koi, you remember our code, right? P'Din," I introduced the person next to me who had fallen out of our conversation. Koi smiled and greeted politely.

P'Din is probably the only guy in the university that I talk to the most. At least he's my code, so I don't accidentally act arrogant like I do with other guys.

“I'm really hungry. Do you know that I have been waiting for you for 1 hour, 14 minutes, 37 seconds? Believe me, I set the time,” I complained to the person under the same umbrella right now.

“Excuse me, what would you like to eat, Mr. Dujdao? The servant will make amends immediately.” She should be in a better mood now.

"You already make it for me every day." Koi makes really delicious food.

"Okay, then I'll wash the dishes for you today." I smiled, satisfied with the answer. And Koi could only laugh and shake his head.

The part of our shoulder that was exposed from the umbrella was definitely soaked. A folding umbrella never had enough space for two people. It's never been enough since we didn't know each other enough, since I chose to live under the same umbrella as you.

But we both allowed ourselves to get wet so we could walk together…

Having a close friend hold the umbrella for you is the best.

“You, P'Din, he'll tutor me in math in the evening,” a voice on the phone told me before I walked up to her school building so that we could leave together like we always had.

“You go back first..”

“I have to do some faculty work,” I interrupted before the other person could finish his sentence.

“That means we'll go back together, right?” The voice on the line sounded happier, which made me smile.

It's not a faculty event, it's just that I lied so I could sit on a bench so I could see my best friend sitting with another guy, that's all.

Just worried...

It is quite understandable that stars must have their own society. There is a world without me, a world that I cannot enter. And just think like this My heart hurts more than I can imagine that day.

Maybe it's because our worlds have too much overlap.

That's why I can't be separated from you like this…

I waited so long I fell asleep. and was startled when someone poked him

“Dao” was finally caught.

“Faculty work finished?” She smiled so knowingly that I couldn't deny it.

“So, are you finished tutoring yet?”

“Um, on the other hand…” A small hand reached out in front of his face and a face full of smiles.

A woman who is known for having a cranky face When he smiles, he's extremely cute.

There is no need to be awkward when walking hand in hand with your best friend.

But there will always be some feelings that make close friends like us…

Don't want to let go of each other's hands...

When he saw that Koi had to lay and wait to dry mosquitoes like that, he couldn't help but feel guilty. But if this class didn't get P'Din I die too So I decided to send a message to Koi telling her to come back first because if she called Must be begging for her to come and wait like always. Today you have to be brave enough to send a message, that makes the most sense.

But it's the same.

'We have to do some faculty work'

'We can really go back on our own'

'Dare to walk alone?'

'Dare' even though now I'm starting to feel afraid.

'It's dark'

'We will walk quickly'

'And if it rains'

Well, that's it...

'P' Din Mee Umbrella' can borrow it first. It's okay for a guy to get a little wet from the rain.

And the other party was silent for almost 10 minutes.

'I really have to do club work,' was all she answered.

And it's true what she said. It was about to rain and I was walking to the Koi Faculty building with P'Din walking me to him, no matter how hard I tried to deny it. Luckily, it rained just a few minutes after we walked there.

"Nong Dao and Nong Koi are very close." I don't know how many people say this. But I still don't understand what each person wants to convey.

“Yes, very close,” was the answer every time.

“Are you really friends?” Huh, do you think I'm pretending to be friends with Koi?

"That's true."

"Really just friends?" What's wrong with him?

“That's right. Just friends,” I said when we arrived in front of Koi's faculty room, so this matter ended by default. I opened the door and P'Din asked to stand and wait to make sure I'd found Koi.

Koi was sitting tutoring a woman. Their close attitude made my heart flutter. That warm smile when it was given to others was no different from what I had received before.

A person who is very nice to everyone It makes us almost unable to distinguish the special things.

"Ao Dao"

“Are you doing faculty work?” There must have been a lot of sarcasm in his voice.

“This is Nong Oil, a member of the faculty who has come to ask for help tutoring,” Koi answered me before looking over at the open door and there was P'Din standing there waiting.

“Are you going back with P'Din? Please give me stars, P'Din." What? Do you dare to chase me away with someone else?

“And you haven't returned yet?” I tried my best to speak calmly.

“No, you should go back first.” Feeling hurt pushed me to walk out of that room and close the door loudly. I stepped out and walked slowly, expecting the person I had once reconciled with. I always come to reconcile.

Then the door opened behind me. This is my old Koi, if you'll excuse me now. Choose me instead of that oil kid. I won't tutor that kid again forever. You must promise not to tutor anyone. I'll be 50% less angry at you.

I turned around and looked. And then I found her stuffing her folding umbrella into my hand.

"Ah, it's a good idea to come back." Then she turned around.

Is the umbrella heavy in my hand like I'm lifting a rock or is it because I've never held an umbrella myself before?

It hurts like I've been abandoned. No, I've never been abandoned before. Does this hurt like this?

“Stop it now, Koi. Do you dare to see other people as better than me? I'm your friend!” I shouted and it stopped her in her tracks. before turning to meet my eyes and looking past P'Din.

Why are you looking at him? Look at me.

Between us there was only the sound of the rain falling and the sound of my heart beating faster and faster.

“...so friends...

Just friends…”

How long have we known each other? Since we were 10 years old, right? Why do we seem like we don't know each other now?

I don't know the person in front of me at all…

I approached the stranger with tears in my eyes.

“Just friends…so?” I walked over to her and threw the umbrella into the trash can in front of everyone and ran away from there, ignoring the rain that was falling heavily.

And of course, I couldn't run as far as every time we fought, like I was just purposefully running away so she could find me. Because just a few minutes after I ran in the rain, a hand grabbed me. With an umbrella spread over your head The same umbrella that I had just thrown in the trash was lying there.

Koi reached out a hand to pull me from running anywhere, while the other held out an umbrella for me, keeping myself outside. It's raining like that. Stupid girl, you are the stupidest person ever.

"I'll be sick soon..." She said in a soft voice that was almost swallowed up by the rain.

“I can take care of myself,” I tried to free my arm from her grip. But she seemed to hold on tighter.

"P'Din likes you," she suddenly said like that and I don't see how it's important to us right now.

“You don't understand, one day you will have someone you love. More important than friends like me.”

The person who will separate us from each other, Koi?

"Friends...you can't be everything, Dao." Even though you're standing in the rain But it was clear that tears were flowing. She was crying more than I had ever seen since we'd known each other.

“I have always been able to wait for you, but one day, I may not be the person you want me to wait for…”

That's it... something that always reminds us that we're just friends.

“You must be really tired of me.”

"It's not like that, Star."

“I understand. You can come inside now, silly girl.” I smiled through my tears.

Friends, they don't walk hand in hand all the way like stars.

Friends only exist to walk beside each other, remember that.

It's time to let go of Viriya's hand...

And then there was the time when close friends had to be apart. Koi never came to my room, just like I never went to her room. We don't walk together anymore, we don't eat together. Or to be honest, we never saw each other again after that day.

And of course the news that P'Din and I are dating must have reached her ears. She must be happy?...

It's like life is missing something...

Still accidentally looking for the time when school is over. Still accidentally calling other people's names as Koi. Still accidentally acting spoiled towards P'Din like when I was with her. Still secretly looking at the light that passes under the door every time I walk past the front of the room to see if she. In the room, do I still accidentally tell stories about you often and when I realize it...

It gets lonely every time...

I've had you in my life since I was 10 years old.

I've had you by my side since I was 10 years old.

And then suddenly you come and say that how can there be someone who can easily replace you like this, Koi?

How can you say it in such a simple way?

And then I just realized how much Koi has to be patient with me because every time I accidentally act spoiled like I did with Koi. Phi Din often says 'Why are you doing this, Nong Dao? It's not good at all.'

This isn't even a fraction of what I did to Koi…

Like right now, I have to give in to your wishes and come to the university fair even though I hate many people the most.

If it's Koi...

Stop thinking about that girl for once.

I walked without much interest. Until I found a booth selling cactus, I rushed in to take a look without thinking of telling P'Din.

“It's so easy to take care of,” I said after reading the sign on how to grow these tiny plants.

“Yes, it is a plant that seems to be patient.” I looked up and made eye contact with the owner of the voice.

“Koi…” She was in a white T-shirt, her black hair was tied back. A sharp face that was familiar even though we hadn't seen it in a long time.

“Because it seems easy to raise. So it makes it difficult to raise.

Because it seems like it can endure everything. So it caused it to die…” We just stared at each other like that. I had many words that I wanted to say to you. There are many things I want to tell you, but suddenly it's as if something is stuck in my throat. With eyes that are slowly warming up

“Do you want a tree, Nong Dao?” P'Din's voice interrupted, waking both of us up. I quickly raised my hand to wipe away the tears before anyone could notice.

"Oh Koi, how are you?" They both greeted each other without my consciousness being in the slightest bit of their words.

“Nong Dao, which one do you want? Choose now and I'll buy it for you." I looked into Koi's eyes and debated.

“No, Dao is not suitable to take care of anything. Buy it and die for nothing.”

Let's be friends. It just made her feel tired...

As the night went on, there were more and more people, which made me start to get a headache. But P'Din didn't seem like he was going to return to the fair. The roads were so confusing that people like me who weren't well versed in navigating these events would not remember the way and if they got lost, Probably bad I walked without paying attention to both work and P'Din because in my head there was only an image of Koi. She still smiles as usual.

Spoken like before, maybe a little thinner, as far as I've noticed. I was so lost in thoughts that I had only Tails until I realized it again. P'Din has disappeared.

I started walking haphazardly. As more and more people crowded together, everything made me feel dizzy. And when I picked up my phone, I found that the battery was dead, which made everything seem worse. I walked around because I couldn't find a way out.

If there were tails now…

Just thinking about this made tears flow without stopping. I just realized that I really can't live without you.

“Koi…” I stood still among the people walking around, feeling hopeless about myself and my own heart at the same time.

A familiar hand pulled me out of there, a familiar hand leading me until I began to see the plan behind him.

“Koi…” I hugged that back, not embarrassed by the sight of the people sobbing like a lost child who found his way home. She rubbed my hand soothingly.

“I miss…” I said what I had always wanted to say.

"um"

“I miss you very much.”

“Um, I miss you too.” The answer was so warm, she turned around and gently wiped away my tears.

“Let's go back.” A familiar sentence between us.

“Um, let's go back together.” I quickly nodded with the biggest smile of my life.

Let's go back and walk together like before...

“Take the medicine. You have a headache, right?” A glass of water with medicine was held in front of me. I drank it easily, knowing that the person in front of me knew me better than I knew myself.

“Tried… no one can replace you.” My words caused the other party to stop.

“I don't want to love anyone else at all. I don't want anyone else besides you.

Can I be friends with you like this forever?

...Can you not love other people anymore?...”

She leaned down and put her lips to mine where I was sitting. A touch that is more intimate than close friends are accustomed to. The rhythm of our heartbeats and breaths seems to be broken in short bursts. The trembling in the eyes of the person being attacked gradually disappears and the eyelids are lowered to receive the feeling. That touch Koi's hand held my face, feeling the warm temperature slowly spread through his tongue, creating an emotional void.

Feel the heartbeat pounding out of your chest. She slowly pulled away and lingered.

“A friend who did this?” she said, giving him a smile.

“It can be anything...

…Just be you, that's enough…”

It's probably a relationship that doesn't know what state it's in.

But knowing how much we love each other...maybe that's the way it is.

I really miss it...
