A Child's Loss
Outside of a school, rain was pouring. Thunder shook the ground and lightning brightened the dark clouds. A small child inside was watching by the window. His arms were on the sill with his chin resting on top. The other children inside were playing Four Corners since it was playtime and the weather outside got in the way. Everyone was yelling, screaming, giggling and falling but he ignored it all. He was upset that his best friend in the whole entire world moved away and he was left alone with a bunch of sugar high children. Sighing to himself he continued to watch the storm. A tear fell down his cheek and landed on his arm. He sniffled his leaking nose and thought how every single day for the rest of his life would be like this.
"Kibum?"
Kibum turned around to see a boy not much older than him with dimples and blonde hair (which made Kibum wonder how that was possible), look at him with sympathy. Kibum looked back at him with a blank expression, wondering what he wanted. "I'm sorry.", the blonde hair boy said. "Sorry about what?", Kibum replied. "I'm sorry about your friend leaving you." Kibum didn't say another word. He just turned around, going back to stare at the rain. The other boy didn't leave and kept on staring at Kibum.
"Ki-"
"Eeteuk hyung!"
Eeteuk stared at him, surprised by the tone in his voice. It sounded angry but also broken and lonely. "You shouldn't be sorry for anything." Kibum lowered his head and tears ran down his red cheeks. Eeteuk ran over to him and hugged him from behind. "It'll be okay Kibum-shii. I'll be your new friend." Kibum shook his head. "No. I don't want a new friend. I just want my teddy bear back!" There was a moment of silence between the two. Eeteuk was confused by what the younger boy was talking about. "Teddy bear? I thought you said your friend moved away?"
"I did. He was my best friend but now he's gone. My mom took him away as a donuttion to a bunch of babies."
"You mean donation?"
"Yeah."
Eeteuk was dumbfounded about his depression on a teddy bear. "It was just a teddy bear." "I don't care!", he yelled. Eeteuk shook his head and grabbed Kibum's hand. "Come on. How about we go play with the others. It will make you feel better." Kibum was still sad about his friend but followed him anyways mumbling about how Four Corners was his teddy bear's favorite game.
The other boys and girls ran around in the room, trying to reach a corner before time was up. Eeteuk and Kibum sat in a corner together and waited for the person to pick a corner. To Kibum's despair a pair of bare feet layed on his lap, the toes wiggling.
"Hehehe."
"Eunhyuk put your shoes back on!"
"Kibum?"
