Haechan chuckles nervously at her question and tries to reflect it onto her "Aren't you the one that ran away?" Aira hums at him unconvincingly which causes the boy to sigh knowing his question didn't work.
"It's old so it doesn't hurt anymore" "That's not what I'm asking though. It may not physically hurt anymore but scars leave an emotional scar on the heart. Are you emotionally okay?" The boy laughed at this, finding it funny that she's asking him this when he should be the one asking her that.
"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. It looks painful, did it hurt?" "It did. I was 8 when he gave me it and it really hurt at the time. I didn't understand why he did it but now I know he did it because he was angry. Mark has burn marks on his arms from when my dad got angry and I lost my mum and Marks mum because of his anger" She stared at him with an emotion in her eyes that he couldn't work out. There was so many emotions that he couldn't pick them out.
"You know there's stars in your eyes?" She looked at him weirdly at his statement and was about to say something but a noise brought her head back down to see the cat nuzzling her head into her own lap.
Noticing her attention was no longer on him, Haechan drew his arm back towards him and pulled his hoodie back on, not really feeling the cold anyway. "I just remembered I haven't drank in a while" "Oh do you want a drink? I can give you one if you want" The older laughed at her, knowing she didn't understand what she meant. "I meant blood Byeol. Not actual water or something but if you're offering I wouldn't mind yours" He continued laughing at her, finding the situation to be absolutly hilarious.
Her head snapped up upon realising what he meant and she widened her eyes, shaking her head. "I-I didn't know that's w-what you m-meant" Haechan calmed down and brought his hand to her head, playing with her hair a bit. "I know and I would never drink your blood unless you actually allowed me to-wow your hair is so soft. Have you ever dyed it?" She shook her head at his question, still frozen over the conversation before. "I wanted to but Johnny never allowed it"
Haechan hummed and moved his hand down towards the ends of her hair, playing with the strands of black. "I think you would suit dark red hair. You know what? I'm going to dye my hair tomorrow, do you want to do yours too? I need someone to do mine anyway" Aira stared at him for a few seconds before nodding her head slowly. "Do you mind doing mine for me?" He smiled at her. "Of course not. As long as I can choose the colour for you" She laughed at him and he joinded in after.
"Why are you doing so much for me today?" Once they both calmed down, she spoke what was on her mind. His jaw clenched, him wanting to burst out at her to take it or leave it but he didn't. He held it in knowing he doesn't want to get mad at her because deep down, he'll feel guilty about it. Deciding to play it off as a joke instead, he chose to speak in a teasing tone. "Should I not be nice to you? Want me to hate you?" He raised his eyebrows with a smile carved into his face.
She scanned his face and listened to the tone of his voice but most importantly, she looked in his eyes as always. Haechan noticed she did this a lot but didn't say anything, knowing she did it to see if a person was lying to her. He just wanted to know what happened to her for her to act like this and not trust people, even her friends at some times. He noticed she did it to Chenle once and that was the most confusing part.
"Okay when are we getting the hair dye?" The boy tried to change the subject so she didn't feel uncomfortable, if that was what she was feeling anyway. "Maybe after school tomorrow? It's Friday tomorrow so we'll have enough time to dye it and let it dry and stuff" He nodded at her answer then felt his phone vibrate against his thigh. Rock with you blurted out of his speakers and he yanked his phone out of his pocket and put his phone to his ear, answering very agressively, "What?...No...Why should I...I don't care...So what? I'm the one here not you. Shows you care so much...Fine...15 minutes...She's a human how fast do you expect her to walk?...10 minutes at the least...Only if she wants to...Bye" He hung up the phone and glanced at Aira playing with her cat again and sighed, not sure if he made the right decision about letting her keep the cat.
Standing up, he dusted himself off and held his hand out to the girl on the floor. "chenle wants us home now" She nodded at him and grabbed his hand. He pulled her up but misscalculated his strength which caused her to collide with him. His hand wrapped around her waist and her hands came flying to his chest, trying to balance himself. Haechan gulped once he noticed how close they were and almost naturally, his eyes trailed down towards her lips, not that she knew because she closed her eyes when he pulled her. His lips became dry and his tongue darted across them, his eyes never once leaving her soft, red lips.
