Somi
"Perfect." I hummed as finally the design of my new client's apartment finally came out the way I wanted. Finally happiness flushed through me. But one point was upsetting me. It's been more than one week but Kai didn't contacted with me. I messaged him but he didn't even came online!
Duh! Men's attitude. I won't message him either. Self respect always should be first. My phone ranged. The caller id was unknown. I picked the call,"Hello?"
"H-hello? It's Somi?"
The hesitate male voice came from the other side of line,"Yes?"
"I'm Colt. Kai's friend."
I frowned,"So?" why his friend would call me. "Actually, I need help. Kai.... He is." my eyes widened, "what about Kai?!" I eagerly asked. I felt a desperateness in my tone.
"He's mother died last monday. He actually loved her so much. He's really different when it comes to his mother. I can't handle him. I tried. Can you please come. I know, only you can handle him. Please, I asking for help." Colt's voice cracked. I without thinking anything, stood up from the my chair,"Sent me his address." I grabbed my bag, phone, medicine of fever and rushed downstairs.
My mother raised her eyebrows,"Where are--" I didn't let her finish,"Kai's mother is no more." I didn't looked back. But heard a gasp from her. I took a taxi hurriedly.

I walked in his apartment. The apartment was cozy, every furniture was brownish or brown's different shades. I assumed he must be liked the brown. I walked towards with bedroom. The door was sightly opened. My footsteps was echoing.
I slowly peak inside. Saw Kai was sitting on his bed, knees fold upwards and elbows resting on it. He was wearing a thin, really thin white shirt and a grey sweet pants. His eyes glory, red. His cheeks had still dry tears strains. His hair messy. I calmly went near to him.
I slowly rested my hand on his shoulder. At the moment I knew, he needed to let pain out. He looked at me. His stare always so innocent, always shiny whenever he looked at me. This time I noticed he needed something, he was begging for something. And that was comfort.
He pulled me closer to me. I almost lost my balance but managed the stand on my knees on his bed. He broke into a painful sob. My eyes wide. I swallowed. His painful sobs was ripping my chest apart.
I hugged him back. Creased his back. Finally he was letting himself break in front of me. Hearing his whispers, sobbing. My tears couldn't stop. I looked at the doorframe of the room. Saw Colt and Oliva also witnessing the scene. Oliva's eyes moist as well. And I saw Colt swallowed hard, his knuckle turned white.
I slowly rocked Kai's back. His sobbing was becoming low. I murmur against his ear nothing but sweet things. Soon, his sob turned to only sniffs. He fully let his body lean on me. He calmed. I discovered he fell asleep in my embrace.
"He's so tired." I heard Colt told me from behind. I hummed. I slowly laid him. He was sleeping like a angel. His cheeks were flushy. I felt a pull towards him. But anyways. I stood up. My eyes roamed around the room. My eyes widened when I saw the awards which were hanging on the wall. The name written was Kyro?
I was too stunned. Colt tapped my shoulder. I looked at him,"Don't react now. Come to living room. I will tell you everything." He whispered. I looked at his sleeping form for the last time. And walked out to living room.
Colt sighed. Oliva was sitting on the couch. She was sightly tense too,"He's Kyro."
I nodded, as I already saw the awards. But he's face was hidden from the entire world. I understand why he didn't told me.
"He didn't even tell us at first, Somi.Its not like he don't trust you..." Oliva stood up. She was clearing the misunderstanding. But I smiled,"I didn't thought bad about it, Oliva. I can understand his situation."
I can't let him alone.
They both frowned. Then Colt grinned,"Kyro wasn't wrong. You indeed different." I processed the information that he also talk about me with his friends. I smiled,"Someone has to understand him."
Oliva's expression became serious,"Somi..." She closed our distance,"You have to look after him, Somi. He has no one." She looked at Colt then again me,"At this rate, we can't handle him. You're the one whom he listen. I know you both met few days ago. But in these days you really became close to him."
I looked at ground I clenched my fist. And nodded. I didn't know, But still I want to save him. I can't stand hearing his sobs. I was already missing his smile. I felt Oliva patted my shoulder.
"So?" She raised his eyebrows.
"I'll check on him everyday from now on." I declared. Colt and Oliva smiled,"Thank you, Somi." I smiled,"You two can go. I will manage him." I said.
They both looked eath other before nodding and walked out of his apartment. I again head in the bedroom. I looked at him, sleeping. Really looked at him. In this world, ever in my life, I was watching someone, so kind yet strong. Every moment we met, we always had a strong aura yet manly. He didn't afford himself to break in front of Colt and Oliva. But in front of me.
I knew I had to protect him. And Somewhat I'm felt, that if he consider me like the way I do. I won't hesitate to fight for him. And He won't hesitate to took hill over his head.
I sat on the bed, besides him. I creased his cheeks. He moved his lips like chawing just like a child do. I chuckled. This man made the world cry by his amazing story. And after knowing his true self. My attracton towards him deepen.
If he consider me like I do, I would make him mine.
