"Can you leave?" he asked you when you visited him that day. It was normal to hear that from him every single day.

Is it tiring? No. It will never be.

You still remember how bright he was before. The oh-so friendly renjun. The friend of everyone.

"Hey, do you need help on this one?" he asked you with wide smile that one day. You nodded your head problematically, even though you dont know him that much, you need his help.

Before you could grab his paper, he pulled it away, "but! in one condition" he trailed while giving you a naighty smile.

Thinking that he was playing with you and was one of those bullies that you know in school, you shook your head in disappointment.

"Help me with my english essay" he shyly said while waving the paper on his other hands.

You looked at him weirdly but you agreed and you became friends. You can't believe that the achiever Huang Renjun is bad at english. He never failed math, physics or any subject, this was his only dillema.

You watched how his happy eyes turned grim after all that he's been through. His parents died in an accident and he also lost himself along with them.

You watched how he pushed his friends away, one by one. And you watched how his happy eyes turned grim evwry single day.

"Shut up. I dont need your help." he snapped when you gave him an assignment on english with some notes on it.

You were hurt. Not because he rejected you, but because he wasnt like this before.

You smiled going back to the reality, "No, but I can cook some food?" you offered while raising the plastic bag with some ingredients on it.

"I already ate." he said, closing the door between the both of you.

"Were on the same group on chemistry. you know how bad I am at science. I need your help on this" you reasoned out. even thougb you practically forced your teacher to be grouped with him.

He rolled his eyes, looking annoyed, but he still let you in. The room was a little messy but you can still see that he tried to tidy it up a little.

"I'll do it. stay there." he said, taking the pile of papers from you and he started working silently on the table.

"Do you want me to cook these?" you asked him once again.

"No, ill be done soon" he said without looking at you.

Waiting for him to finish, you found yourself drifting to sleep. You woke up and you saw him lying his head on the table too. He obviously dozed off. You smiled fondly.

"I'll never care, Injun-ah." you whispered while fixing his hair.

"I don't care how far you push me away"

"Because I meant it when I said that I will stay."

He moved a little which startled you a bit.

"I don't need your help" he replied, with his ears red.
