" Come on. Let's get out of here. ", I slowly climb down the piles. WangJi slowly follows me from behind. Suddenly, he misses a step and slips. Both of our eyes widen.

" Careful! ", I shout, running towards him. I manage to grab a hold of his waist in time and he lands on the ground safely.

Thank goodness.

" It's really dangerous here. You should've watch your step. You're lucky I managed to catch you. ", I look over his arms or legs if there's any injury.

He lightly pushs me aside, " Get off. ", He mumbles, to which I just ignore and keep searching for injury.

" Thanks goodness you're not hurt- Ah- ", I wince.

" What? ", I look at my arm and internally sigh. My arm is bleeding from the sudden impact I had caused with the concrete. To add more, I accidentally step on a broken glass.

" Geez, I should've worn shoes instead. ", I chuckles, wincing slightly from the wound.

" You should've watched your step, idiot. ", He says as he helps me to sit on the piles of woods not to far from where we're standing.

" That's rich coming from you. I got injured trying to save you. ", I exclaim, crossing my arms.

" Sorry. ", He says as he kneels on the ground, examining my wound. " And thank you, again. I would've hurt myself if it were not for you. ", He mutters, his ears slighty turning pink.

Is he blushing? I raise one of my eyebrows.

Ah, maybe he's not use to this kind of weather yet. I heard New York is really cold.

" It's okay. ", I say quietly. He then stands on his feet and dusts his pants. " Hey, where are you going? ", I ask, frowning at him.

" Don't go anywhere. ", He points his finger at me and starts running.

" Geez, that boy. Where am I going to wander off in this condition anyway. ", I grumble. Out of curiosity, I lift my foot up to see the injury. I wince at the view but at the same time relief that the cut from the shard of glass wasn't that deep.

" Haa- How can I play with my friends this afternoon? ", I groan, throwing my head back frustratedly.

" And where did that boy run off to? He's taking way too long. "

....

" He did not just ditch me, did he? ", I awkwardly let out a dry laugh. " Nah, he wouldn't do that. Not after I helped him today. "

....

" ..Unless.. ", I shake my head disapprovingly. " Stop thinking negative things, Wei Ying! He'll come around, just wait a little longer. ", I tell myself.

20 minutes has pass and I start to doubt myself. Maybe, he really did ditch me.

I groan out loud, " That ungrateful boy! How can he leave me like this! Hmph! "

" Ah, I'm sorry. I'm taking way too long. ", A familiar voice said making me look at his direction.

" Yah! What took you so long? I almost lost faith in humanity sitting here alone thinking you'll never come back. ", I scold, but deep down in my heart, I can't help but feel relieved.

" I had to grab a few things from my house. ", He states, taking off a small backpack I hadn't noticed was on his back.

He carries the backpack towards me and kneels on the ground once again. He takes my foot gently and looks at me. " This will hurt but I know you'll be fine. ", He stares straight into my eyes.

I stare into his and nod my head slowly, " O-Of course. ", I stammer slightly. " Moreover... I trust you. ", I say quietly but loud enough for him to hear.

His face softens and looks at my foot once again, " Ok then. Just stay calm. "

I flinch a little when he pulls out the shard of glass. Then he takes out a bottle of water and starts to pour it on my wounds both on foot and arm. He takes out a cotton swab and pours a little amount of rubbing alcohol on the wounds making me winced slightly and bit my lips to the point of almost drawing blood.

" I'm surprised you're not putting up a fight like most 9 years old boys would do. ", WangJi smirks, throwing the bloody cotton swab in a little plastic bag and taking out a bandage straight after.

" That's because I trust you! And for your information, I'm 11 already. My birthday was last week. ", I cross my arms, defendingly.

" Happy belated birthday then. ", He says impassively, swiftly wrapping my foot with the bandage.

" How are you so good at this? ", I ask, lifting my foot up to look at it, the wound had stopped bleeding and the bandage is neither too loose or excessively tight.

" My mom is a nurse. She always helps me when I hurt myself. ", He says, inspecting the wound on my arm. " Mom.. ", He mumbles to himself, his expression changing minutely.

A gloom atmosphere surrounds us and I change the topic to try and lighten up the mood.

" By the way, which school are you going to transfer to? ", I ask him cheerfully to which manages to get rid of the frown on his face.

" Which school are you going to? ", He looks at me in the eye.

My smile widens, " Do you really wanna be with me that bad? ", I smirk raising one of my eyebrows.

" Forget it. "

" Yah, I'm joking. ", I chuckle staring at his focused face as he inspects my bandaged foot. " Well, I go to Gusu Middle School. I'm sure you'll like it there. I have a lot of friends too! I promise I'll introduce them to you. ", I grin cheekily.

" I.. ", He drifts off for a bit. " I didn't really have friends at New York. ", He quietly states.

I raise my eyebrows in shock, " Really? You don't seem the type to be a loner. " I eye him carefully making him more red than earlier. " You're handsome too. Impossible. You must be quite popular among girl. ", I exclaime in disbelief.

His mouth slightly agapes and his blush worsens, " I-I.. ", He averts my gaze and looks down. " Boring. ", He mutters.

I grin. Haha, he doesn't even bother to correct me.

" I knew it! Don't worry about friends, I'll surely be yours. ", I smile, giving him a thumb up.

He averts my gaze once again, " Shameless. ", He mumbles to which I just laugh at.

After my laugh slowly dies out, I slowly try to stand up and try walking on the wound, " W-What are you doing? ", He stands up abruptly with eyes filled with worries.

" We need to get home. Your whole face and ears are flushed. I don't want you to faint on me. ", I point a finger to his face.

He touchs his left ear, frowning, " Fine. It's past lunch already. I- ",

" WHATT- Oh my God! My mom's gonna kill me! ", I panic, totally forgot about getting the ice-cream and be home before lunch.

" You- ", I quickly start running as if the wound didn't hurt.

" Catch you later, WangJi! I have to get home right this instant! ", I shout, waving at him from the distance and continue to run.

After the other was out of sight, the latter has a rare small smile playing at the corner of his lips.

" ..silly. ", WangJi mutters, as he make his way to his own house.
