arranged marriage

What am I supposed to do? am I just going to let him go? I can’t. He’s like an older brother, we grew up together. I can’t bear to watch him, leave my side. He just sat there, looking at my reaction.
“This is a prank, right?” I laughed it off.
But I was still feeling uneasy, about this. he laughed too, but I could tell that it was a forced one. There is definitely something behind it. I continued drinking my drink, making small talks with Kris. There was still an awkward tension between us.
“Nari”
“hmm” I answered, taking a sip from my drink.
“It’s not a prank, I’m really leaving. My flight is tomorrow in the morning” he said.
I stood up, not knowing what to do. Maybe I should leave? No, I don’t want to leave him. if he’s going to leave, I’m going to spend my time with him, as much as possible. I sat down again. He finished his drink fast, so he could leave. But me on the other hand, drank slowly so he wouldn’t leave so fast. I took a small sip from drink, continuing talking about our hobbies and stuff like that. I could see that he wanted to leave, so I decided that maybe I should. I can’t keep him after all.
“well, I have go Kris” I said standing up.
I grabbed my phone and walked away from him. Every step I took, slowly drifted me away from him. I hated to leave him alone, it’s like back then when we were kids. He’s really going. He’s really going to leave me. What am I supposed to do without him? I don’t want to go back, to Taehyung’s house right now. I want to get home. I looked up at the white skies, that slowly turned grey. The sun that was shining so brightly when I came, disappeared, and is replaced by dark big clouds. It started raining a little, but I know it’s going to get worse. I want get home, I want be with my family, I want him to stay. The little rain drops turned into heavy rain. I didn’t have anything, to protect me from it. My steps got sloppier, as I forced myself to take the last steps. My hand reached the door bell, my finger pressed the white silicon button, making it say a ding sound. The door opened revealing mom. That’s when I broke into tears, those tears I tried my best to fight back at the café. Those tears finally escaped. Mom rushed over to me, and hugged me tightly leading me inside. she took my jacket off, and asked me what was wrong.
“Mom, Kris is leaving. His flight is tomorrow. He’s leaving for China” I said sobbing.
She knew how much Kris meant for me. He was my best friend after all, not even best friend, more my brother. We had always had a good relationship. I never imagined him leaving my side, but sadly he will and I can’t stop him. That’s what hurting the most, knowing he will leave, but not being able to do anything about it. And he never said if he will come back.
“M-mom I can’t, I-I want him to stay b-by my side” I continued crying into her shoulder.
I started feeling dizzy and soon darkness took over.
‘I sat again alone, in front of the big, pink tree. Cherry blossoms. They were always beautiful. My mom used to compare me to a cherry blossom, every time I blushed. She told me my cheeks turned the same color, as the pink flower. But here I am, under the beautiful big tree, with tears streaming down my face. They did it again, they made fun of me. I was an outcast, because I wasn’t like them. Because I wasn’t Korean, but I didn’t see the big problem, in me being Chinese. I wasn’t ashamed and will never be. But I wished they would accept me. Maybe I should beg my new family to take me back to-
“Yah, why are you crying?” I looked up to see a guy my age looking down at me.
“I got bullied because I’m from China” I said still sobbing a bit.
He knelt in front of me, to see my face. He said nothing, but continued looking at me. He was looking at me with an emotionless face, he was probably judging me. I looked like a mess, my eyes were puffy and red, and my cheeks were probably a bit pink, since he was really close to me. I opened my mouth, about to say something. But then his frown turned into a big smile. He sat beside me, and stared into my eyes. He had a friendly vibe to him, unlike the others.
“I’m Chinese too” he said, the smile not leaving his face.
“Really?!” I asked excitement filling my voice.
He nodded. We continued talking about, China and why we moved. I eventually got to know him more. Who knew that would lead to a strong friendship. He followed me home, to school, and back to my classes. I introduced him to my parents, and I talked to his mother over the phone, since she still lived in China. Kris didn’t have a father, he died in an accident, when Kris’s mother was pregnant. I still remember him crying when it was his father’s death anniversary. I would spend the day at his house when it was, comforting him’
“Is she alright?” I heard deep voice ask.
“She is, she’s just tired” a feminine voice answered.
I rolled over in bed, falling down, on the cold hard floor. I winched in pain, making the deep voiced man react immediately. I looked up and saw Taehyung.
“Dummy, why won’t you be careful, hmm?” he asked smiling slightly.
I hugged him. I didn’t let go of the hug, scared that he would leave me too. He won’t, but Kris said that he wouldn’t either.
