A Turn for the... Best? (A Turn for the Worse Sequel)

Chapter 2

"Yuuuuriii!! Wake up! I made you some breakfast!"

I smiled as Phichit came in my room and stood at the foot of my bed. We finished moving my stuff to my house a couple days ago and every morning I woke up feeling better than the day before. Seung had flown out here and arrived yesterday. I told them that it would be fine for them to stay with me and now they are actually considering moving in with me since I have the room and this house is pretty big for just one person.

"You are the bestest friend I could have ever asked for." I said as I sat up and threw the blankets off me.

"What are best friends for, Yuri?" He smiled and winked as we walked out into the small dining area where the table was set with an array of different breakfast foods.

"Good morning Seung." I sat across from Seung at the table. We hadn't really got to talk when he arrived here. His flight was delayed so he landed pretty late in the evening which resulted in us going to bed as soon as we got home.

"Hey Yuri. Thank you for letting me stay here." He set his book down and handed me a cup of coffee that Phichit set in front of him.

"No need to thank me. I have to admit I invited you over because of my selfishness. You can't keep Phichit all to yourself while you're here in Japan." He smiled and nodded as I took a sip of my coffee.

"What are you guys going to be doing today?" I asked as Phichit sat down beside me and set a plate of fruit in front of me.

"We were thinking about going to the aquarium today and wanted to know if you wanted to tag along. Unless you have something to do then that's okay."

"I was actually going to do something and I'm gonna have to leave in a bit but I can meet up with you guys over there. I shouldn't be long so I'd make it over there in about thirty minutes."

"Okay but you have to eat before you go.." Phichit paused when I reached up to scratch my head.

"Yuri. When did you do that?" Seung asked as his brow creased in concern. I didn't get what he meant right away but as soon as I looked down at my hands, I noticed that my cuts were showing.

Slowly I turned and blankly stared at a box that held all my old posters of Victor. I thought I would have been able to get through this without hurting myself but the pain was too much. I needed a distraction and nothing helped before Phichit and Seung had come.

"These aren't that recent. I did it about a week before Phichit came here. It's not that bad. It only looks bad because it's over scars." I shook my head and turned to Seung and Phichit who were looking at me with a soft gaze.

"Don't feel sorry for me and don't worry. I'm going to see my old counselor in a bit. She moved her office out here that's why I won't be able to meet with you guys until later."

"It's okay. I'm glad you're going to see her but please tell us when you're feeling down. Or me at least. You know you can trust me." Phichit reached over and held my hand.

"I know I haven't really talked to you much but now that you're going to become a part of my life, I want you to know that I'll help in any way I can. Seeing you go through that struggle before, I want to make sure that you're able to have as many people around you. Besides, someone needs to help me handle this nut." Seung gestured to Phichit who scoffed as me and Seung laughed.

"Thank you for saying that. Although it may seem like small gestures to you, it means quite a bit to me. I don't want to make you feel like I'm rushing this but I do have to leave in a few minutes."

"It's fine. At least eat the fruit before you leave. We'll lock up the house when we leave so don't worry about it." I smiled at Phichit and quickly began to eat my breakfast before I rushed into my room to get dressed.

I left soon after, Phichit and Seung gave me hugs before I bolted out the door to rush to my counselor's office across the city.
