My fri...

"After fainting did you got amnesia?" Gu Huan asked.

"Huh?" ZouMi was confused.

"Will you say the same to Si Ban, or the other two boys, who you were talking to?"

"Why would I? They are my fri...." Her eyes widened, and a guilt feeling flashed in her eyes.

Gu Huan, chuckled and said, "I know you don't trust me, but don't worry, I don't need anything from you, it's just I promised being your friend and no one else is my friend."

"What do you mean?" Completely shocked by his words.

"I never had a friend, since childhood." He said calmly.

Her eyes widened in shock, "How come that is possible? How can one not have a friend?"

"Everyone is not lucky as some. So, look you have friends, family and siblings, still you don't care about your life. While some are alone in this world, wishing to have someone by their side, yet no one is, and they still choose to live." Gu Huan gave a word of encouragement to her.

"Who said I don't want to live?" Out of the blue, she answered.

"Huh? Your actions, your way of taking your health too lightly, your way of...."

"How do you know about this?" Clearly pissed.

"I overheard the conversation of doctors, about your condition." He sat on the bed held her hand and said, "I know, I've no right to say this, but listen to me, there are many struggling to live a happy life with their loved once, but are counting days, left over to live. Whereas there are many who are healthy, but have no one, but they still choose to live. You have everything, but you still choose to destroy yourself by your own hand. I don't know what happened to you, as to why you choose to do this to your own life, but nothing can be more important, than a smile on your beloved once. I remembered, when you were just born after around ten hours, I held you and you know what, you smiled. That smile was so, great that it melted my heart. The person who hated smiling and had no reason to smile, had smiled, when he held you close. No one's life is easy, it's up to you to live your life or to kill your life. That day onwards, when ever I feel sad, that smile of yours flash in my brain. You and your brother, were the first kids, I held, and you capture my figure with your whole hand, that was really precious." He smiled at her.

ZouMi said nothing, it would be a lie if she says she wasn't moved by his words. The last time someone said this kind of words was her dad, but something with in her wasn't ready to talk to anyone. The feeling of accepting someone in her life always made her scare, she is all time surrounded by danger and can never let anyone drag with her. But, she was unknown as to why her heart was willing to open in front of him.

"What if that someone is... Bad. I mean what if they've killed many?"

"Look, no one loves to kill others, they've their own reasons." Gu Huan didn't know why she asked this. But, he answered, honestly.

"So, even after killing many, they can cherish their life?"

"Killing without any reason is something problematic, if one have reasons to do, so they still can live. By why are you asking me this?"

Shaking her head vigorously she said, "Nothing just it popped up out of nowhere." and forced a smile.

Their hands still connect, they just looked at each other.

"Now, you need to rest. No more talks." Gu Huan, said and helped her lie down. He didn't move, until he heard her steady breath. He moved closer and kissed her forehead, his eyes widened and moved swiftly.

Since, the first time he kissed her some weird scene, yet familiar and also not-so-familiar scene occur in his head. And this time too, he had the same thing again, so he swiftly left the room.

The supposed closed eyes opened when the door closed, ZouMi touched the area where he kissed her. She felt warmth and a scene of a place covered with huge trees, blood over the floor, but before she could see clearly, the scene went off, as he moved away.

'What was this? Why did it feel so, familiar, but I've never visited any place like this?' With doubts, she closed her eyes and drift to sleep.

Gu Huan, stood near the window and gazed at the sky turning dark, weather changed, cold winds and signs of heavy rain. While, he was in his thoughts, he heard some mumbling.

He walked closed to ZouMi to listen, and he was shocked and startled.

"Dad, no please don't leave me, dad get up. NOO!" She woke up drenched in her own sweat. With heavy breaths, she curled her body, wrap her hand on her knees and buried her head between her legs. Not knowing what to do Gu Huan, just stood still on his spot, after a moment of thinking, he walked towards her and was about to keep his hand on her head when his wrist was caught midair with full force to twist.

"Z..ZouMi. It's me, Gu Huan." No change, but more pressure was exerted on his wrist. Gu Huan, placed his free hand on her head and tried to keep his voice soft, even when he was in pain, if this goes, she might fracture his bone.

"ZouMi, it's me your friend, Gu Huan. Look up, see, you don't have any harm with me." The hold of her hand loosen a bit, but still it was held tightly. Gu Huan caressed her long silky hair.

ZouMi lifted her head and blinked, "What are you doing?" Then her eyes fell on her hand holding his wrist. Her eyes widened she pulled his hand and checked anxiously, "I'm sorry, does it hurt? Did I break your bone?"

"Calm down. Yes it hurts and..." He chucked, "No, you didn't break my bone" He was amused, as to how sure she was about her power.

"But, what were you doing?" She asked in confusion.

"I don't know, I thought you woke up from a nightmare, so I was coming to comfort you, but you held my hand midair"

"I'm sorry, you should go for a check up, what if your bone broke?"

"How can you be sure that my bone broke?"

"I... My sleep reflex are strong, when I feel someone near me in my sleep. My body reacts on its own and the last time I hurt a doctor." She sighed.

"Y.... You've extra sensitive sense?" Quite shocked.

"Yes, I'm sorry. This was not my intention."
