Next morning at the office Junsu and Jaejoong both greeted me cheerfully. Yoochun wasn't around it seems. Junsu followed me to my office and closed the door behind him. "So what's up with you and Jaejoong? I could almost see the sparks flying between you two."  Sparks? Wha?  "Uhh, nothing?" He just helped me out while you were away." He smirked and said: "And you actually expect me to believe that? He obviously likes you. And I would say you do feel something for him too.. And well, he wouldn't buy things for a girl he doesn't care for. Hell, he barely talks to girls he doesn't like." I blushed. I started shuttering: "I don't know.. I have no idea what you're talking about.. Seriously." He burst out in a laughter. "Look at you, acting all shy now huh? No but seriously, you two would make a cute couple." Huh? He's getting way ahead of himself if you ask me. "It's really not like that.." I tried but he had -I do not believe a word you say- written all over his face. It annoyed me. "So  first you flirt with me for weeks, and then you wanna pair me up with your friend? Almost makes sense dude." I didn't really mean that. But when I get upset.. I usually spit out nonsense. His expression changed in a split second, from laughter to serious, even little angry. "Well no matter what, it cannot be me. You're much better off with anyone else but me. Just remember that alright? You're a good girl, you deserve someone who can take care of you. And.. That's not me." I stared at him for a while. He was rarely this serious, and it left me speechless. As I sat there looking all shocked, he walked out of the room. Great, did I just make him angry? That was so not what I wanted to happen.After work I was still upset. I sent Junsu a text saying I'm sorry but he never replied. He had never ignored me before and it felt horrible. As I was walking out of the building I got scared. Last time I walked alone..  That thing happened. I was terrified by the time I reached the door. I stopped and looked at the cars and people passing by. I couldn't bring myself to go outside. I sat down on the floor by the door and started browsing my phone. Who could I call? I wanted to call Junsu. But since he didn't reply to my text I was afraid he wouldn't pick up the call either. So I just sat there for a while trying to figure what to do. "Are you okay?" I heard familiar voice ask. When I realized who it was I felt happy and relieved. "Junsu! Thank god it's you." A tear fell down on my cheek. "Huh? Why are you crying? What happened?" He worried. I wiped the tear and replied: "It's fine now.. Was just scared to go outside alone." Then I explained what had happened while he was gone. "You should've told me to begin with." He said with a serious face. "Ofcourse I'll take you home if you're scared. And for the text, I was busy when you sent it, and forgot about it afterwards. Sorry." Then he helped me up from the floor. "It's okay, you're here now." I said smiling.  We walked back to my place in silence. What he had said earlier, I wanted to ask about it but I was afraid to. I realized he had became such a special friend to me, I didn't wanna upset him. When he's ready to tell me, he will, right? We reached my apartment, I was about to say thank you and bye but he patted my head and said: "Don't be afraid to call me anytime alright? I can't be more than friend to you, but besides Jaejoong and Yoochun, you're the best friend I have." In a spur of a moment I hugged him. "As long as you'll be my friend it's enough, more than enough. I don't wanna lose you." I whispered while hugging him. He seemed a bit shocked at first but he hugged me back and said: "I promise, don't worry."
