Sitting down on the couch, eating chips, licking the powder off of my finger tips. I knew I wouldn't last a day with trying to 'starve' myself, I never do. I was watching TV as Kris walked into the living room, smiling at me as he questions "what're you doing, Minseok?" 

I looked at Kris before looking back down at the chip bag. "Nothing, just watching TV." Kris looked like he had probably just gotten out of the shower. Why is he always just getting out of the shower when I see him? He had basketball shorts on, no shirt and his hair was dripping wet. His white towel wrapped around his shoulders. 

Kris kept the same smile on his face as he sat down beside me, putting his hand into the bag of chips and eating one for himself. "So you're not going to school?" He asks, probably because I was sitting in front of the TV, eating chips while still wearing my pyjamas. 

"No...I don't feel like it" I answer, not looking at Kris as I continued to have my eyes glued onto the television screen. 

Kris let out a little 'huh' before getting more comfortable on the couch and saying "well then I guess I'm staying home too." 

I looked at him surprised before saying "you don't have to do that Kris-" 

"I want to, plus you shouldn't be in the house all alone, what if someone breaks in and you're defenceless?" Kris questions, now leaning towards me to sit closer. 

"No one is going to break in, and even if they do I won't be defenceless. I can throw stuff at them." I reassure him, looking at him while puffing out my cheeks. I can definitely defend myself!

"Well then I guess I'm just staying with you for the company." Kris says in a smile, and I nodded meaning okay, obviously I wasn't going to win against Kris. I never usually do in situations like this. 

"So whats up, why didn't you want to go to school today?" He questions, I could see from the corner of my eye he looked concerned. "Something must be up for you not wanting to go to school." Kris is always sharp with seeing through me like this. A long pause was left between us, more like just me thinking if I should really tell Kris everything. "Is it because of Luhan?" 

I was surprised Kris got it right and looked down, starting to eat a little faster now just to occupy my mouth so I didn't have to answer him. Kris smirked, seeing that he was right just by my reaction, I knew he liked teasing me. 

"I thought I saw you two talking at lunch time yesterday though, I thought things were okay between you two?" Kris points out, sounding slightly confused. 

I sighed, bringing the chips away form my mouth and explain "we did talk at lunch, everything is fine between us...or that's what he's saying. I know something is up that he's not telling me about it, he's lying to me." 

"So you think running away from your problems with Luhan is going to make it any better?" Kris questions, looking at me with one eyebrow raised. I know he's right, but how can I just ask Luhan what's up, accusing him of not telling me something, when I don't even know what he's not telling me. I guess Kris could see the concern in my face because he then suggests "why don't I force Luhan to come here right now...what about that?"

"Really you would?!" I ask, looking at Kris surprised "you really don't have to do this" I say in concern, I don't want Kris to go out of his way just to do this for me. 

"It's fine Minseok, get use to people doing nice things for you, for once." Kris says in a smile, standing up from the couch we were both sitting on before saying "I'm going to get changed and head out to kidnap Luhan" he jokes, now leaving the room.

I looked down at my fingers as I heard Kris ruffling around in the other room...Kris is a really good friend.

Next chapter is going to be longer, that's when Luhan's going to tell Xiumin what's happening and why he's been acting a little 'different' lately. Thank you for reading, it means a lot.
