A/N : eh... this is something i wrote for a writing competition in my college. ofcourse it didn't win because seriously this is crap omg what did i write...

I have always been laughed at because of my clumsiness.

When I tripped over the air, people would laugh at me. When I tripped over a chair at the cafetaria and fell right into my lunch, the whole school laughed at me. When I ran into the glass door at the building entrance, people would laugh at me. And the worst of all, there were no friends-or friend-to ask me “Are you okay?” when the universe would laugh at me.
I was clumsy, but that was alright. But no friends? That was what my life hell. Do you know who hard it is to have no friend to help you up? I just hoped God would be kind enough to send me a friend. Just a friend would be nice.

It was Monday, rain has been fallling since dawn, and I was walking down quickly to my class, good thing I have long legs. And I hope I wouldn’t be tripping on anything, or worse nothing. I didn’t want to have to add those laughter that were directed at me to the “List of Shits that Made My Day Hell”. I’ve been unfortunate since this morning.

That was why I walked quickly. I could be late if I didn’t.

And that’s when I ran into him.

Maybe because I was too tall or him being too short that made me ran into him. Our bodies collided, not too hard, but enough to knock the shorter guy down onto the ground. I immediately offered my hand to him to help him up, which he accepted gladly.

The short guy-I’m not being rude okay, he was short-looked really cute actually. Cat-eyes, small lips, chubby cheeks that were too adorable I couldn’t resist to pinch them. But, hey, I just knocked the guy to the floor, alright? Pinching his cheeks would be the last thing I would do right now.

“Hey, sorry, I bumped into you. Are you okay?” I helped him up and he rubbed his butt carefully.

“Yea-I’m oka-Ouch, my butt hurt,” he jumped a bit, I don’t know what for. “Yeah, it’s okay. Hey, I’m Minseok. I’m new here and I’m looking for the administration office...?”

“Oh yeah! You can go that way,” I pointed to the direction behind me.

“Alright, thanks, umm....”

“Chanyeol! My name’s Chanyeol.”

“Alright, thanks Chanyeol.”

“No problem. Sorry for bumping into you earlier, though,”

“It’s okay. It was my fault for not seeing where I was going anyway. I’ll see you around, Chanyeol!”

“Yeah! Be careful on your way, Minseok! Wouldn’t want to bump into anyone again, right?”

And his answer was what made me sure that he was going to be my best bestfriend.

“Well, I’m just really clumsy. What can I do? See you around, Chanyeol!”

Well, one clumsy guy plus another clumsy guy made two clumsy guys, and I’m sure we’re going to be laughed at a lot. But at least, I’m going to have a friend to help me up and to get through it all.

I glanced at my watch and ran to my class almost immediately when I noticed the time. Shit, I’m late.

The second time I met him was at lunch at the cafetaria. He was looking around for a table, and I decided to catch his attention by waving my hand hyperactively, asking him to join me in my usual table at the corner of the cafetaria.

“I thought I’ll never going to find a table. The cafetaria’s packed.” Minseok said while setting his tray on the table and  took a seat across from me.

I sipped my strawberry milk a little before responding. “I know, right? You can always join me, you know? I mean.. I don’t really have any friends and I’m always feeling a little bit lonely, I-“

“Sounds good. Lunch buddies, then?” Minseok smiled his brightest smile. And I smile back.

“Lunch buddies. Sounds really great to me.” He laughed at that. And I noticed that he looked even cuter laughing like that. Like, he had this gummy smile when he laughed almost hysterically, just like now.

“Oh, I can give you a tour of this campus if you want.”

“Really? Thanks! That’s really nice of you, Chanyeol!”

“That’s no problem for me,”

I walked him around the campus that day and almost broke my nose after running into the glass door at the building’s entrance.

He laughed at that, but not before asking me if I was alright.

I have always been laughed at because of my clumsiness.

When I tripped over the air, people would laugh at me. When I tripped over a chair at the cafetaria and fell right into my lunch, the whole school laughed at me. When I ran into the glass door at the building entrance, people would laugh at me. And the worst of all, there were no friends-or friend-to ask me “Are you okay?” when the universe would laugh at me.

But no worries, because I have that friend with me now. His name was Kim Minseok, actually 2 years older than me but started a year later because he lived alone here in Seoul and he needed to get some money first for the tuition fee.

He really liked laughing at my jokes and at my clumsiness. I laughed at his too.

“You know the girl from Archeology, hyung? I think her name is Baekhee... or is it Byunhee? I think it’s Baekhee, and she asked me out yesterday hyung! We’re going to have a date this Saturday! I finally-OOFF!”

I ran into the same glass door again, and he laughed at that again.

“Hahaha! Are you okay, Chanyeol? Oh my god... Let me help you up,”

And despite his cute face and petite figure, he was pretty strong too, you know? He helped me up with ease and immediately checked my nose. It was really red, and I thought I really broke it this time.

“Whoops, I think it’s broken.” He touched it lightly, and I yelped, pretty loud. “Yep, it’s broken. Aaww, are you going to be able to go to your date with your nose like this? Oh wait, I’m sure Baekhee is going to baby you all the time on your date! Oooh, Chanyeol, it sounds great, doesn’t it?”

“Ugh, I don’t think so. God, hyung, it hurts...”

“Aww, come one, trust me. I’m your best friend right? Just trust me. She’s going to go all “What happened to my Yeollie~” “ His voice went all falsetto at the reenactment and it sounds really weird. Seriously.

“Stop doing that hyung! And I don’t think she’s going to say all those words you just said,”

“Why not? Come on, let’s go to my apartment. That nose needs some immediate treatment.”

To tell the truth, Baekhee actually said exactly everything Minseok reenacted that day. Do you know what he said after I told him that?

“See Chanyeol? You just have to trust me. Best friend-oh , wait, no. Wing man of the year~ Hahaha!”

Oh yeah, definitely wing man of the year. And my forever best friend.
