The Path We Take

Chapter 6~~~

Once I got to the house I saw everyone around the coffee table studying "Koda! Welcome home!" I bowed and lifted up a bag "I brought food, I figured you guys would be all together cramming." They cheered and I smiled a bit and they quickly cleared the table and I set the food down "Are you going to eat?" I shook my head "I ate at the restaurant, I'll be upstairs I'm pretty tired.'' My phone buzzed and they looked towards me confused "Okay who's talking crap about us?" Jin asked and I pulled my phone out to see it was a snap chat from Yugyeom "No one is, its just an uh an acquaintance, well see you guys later." I ran upstairs and went to my desk opening it up it was him drinking coffee "Late night study we should face time and work together." I sent him back a picture of the window "You don't have my number, and how'd you get my snapchat? You also found me on my messenger app.. O.o" I set my phone down and pulled out my text books only to get an immediate reply "This guy seriously.. I thought he was suppose to be some tough dude." I opened it and he was laying on his text books as the look of exhaustion over took him "I literally just typed your name in and you popped up and then I went for it no big deal." I laughed a bit he could have just asked for it when I was with him "Sure, sure I'll accept that." He opened it almost immediately and I decided to keep it open until he replied "Good so anyway FaceTime? You can send me your number." I sighed and went into the text and put my number in after around 5 minutes he called and I answered "Hey, hey~ Did you really want to talk with me that much that you'd give me your number?" I pretend to puke "No way I'd rather eat salmon. He laughed a bit and held his pencil up "Koda are you ready for this study session? We're gonna destroy these midterm exams." I lifted my pencil up and nodded and we began to work "Did you make up with your little boy gang?" I rolled my eyes "Yeah I bought them food, I didn't actually apologize though should I?" I completed a page and flipped over to the next page as did he "No I doubt they even realized you were upset with them, they probably just thought you were stressed about the exams. Most guys aren't sharp like me." I nodded and looked towards him "Hey why'd you want to dance with me?" He looked towards me and shrugged his shoulders "You just seemed cool, someone who I didn't have to be a bad ass around. Don't you feel the same way about me~?" I rolled my eyes and laughed a bit "I will admit Yugyeom you're pretty fun to hang out with but I'll probably get a bruise on my forehead if we hang out anymore." He laughed and we started on homework again, after a while of just talking and studying I noticed he was no longer asking questions looking at my phone I saw he was sleep and I laughed a bit and quickly took a screen shot and hung up stretching out a bit I took a deep breath and jumped around a bit I was feeling good.

Walking down stairs I was pulling up snap chat as I took a picture of myself sticking my tongue out I laughed a little "Baby Gyeom needs his baby rest~ You fell asleep on me loser you owe me lettuce wraps." I walked into the kitchen to see Tate sitting at the table looking at a letter "Tate what's up?" He looked towards me and I noticed his eyes were blood shot meaning he's been crying "Oh Koda, how is your studying going?" He quickly whipped his eyes and I walked over and sat next to him "What's wrong? Why are you crying?" He frowned and leaned his head on the table "One of my old friends from elementary school killed himself and this is the note." My eyes widened and I grabbed his shoulder and he moved his hand up and held my hand "I regret not going to visit him after I moved here.. He really needed me and I abandoned him." I moved my other hand and rubbed his hair "Its gonna be okay Tate, I'm sure he's in a better place now right? He wouldn't want to see you crying he'd want to see you smiling, he can live through you and once you pass you'll be able to tell him all kinds of exciting stories." I teared up a bit as I heard my grandpa's voice telling me that after one of our cats died "His will lives inside of you so he'll never be forgotten." He started crying and I stood up and he hugged me and I started brushing his hair I comforted him until he was finished crying "How did your tests go today?" he nodded as he shrugged his shoulders and whipped his eyes "They were good, I think I might beat you this time." I grinned and shook my head "I found a spelling error in English! Your worse subject that means I'll get extra credit!" He pulled me in and messed up my hair causing us to both laugh a little "I feel like I'm always on the receiving end from you Koda, how can I ever make it up to you huh?" I smiled and looked towards him "Not true you've helped me in more ways then you can imagine Ele Tate." He laughed and messed up my hair again "I'll head to bed I guess, Koda don't stay up to late." I nodded and he walked upstairs going to the kitchen I grabbed some water and my cheeks went bright red and I danced around a little bit I was able to make him happy! Tate was happy because of me!

"I had a small crush on Tate, oh was I falling for Yugyeom though? Ah who knows." 

"What happened in the past? Ah that's to long of a story we should just continue talking about it slowly." 

"I was scared to tell the others because of the history, I didn't know what was happening at the time but I did feel the atmosphere when ever they were around each other."

"Was I falling for Koda? Hmm good question but I'm sure you can answer that yourself."
