Even though Jisung already knows about the Stray Kids' identity, he still expects them to pay attention to him like they always do. He has already come to like them. Their background was not something he cared about. The reason is that he has family members who are involved in the mafia world.

"Forget about them, Sungie. They don't deserve your love,"Yoshi said, making Hwall nod his head in agreement.

"But I like them." 

"However, they didn't." Hwall's honest reply caused the small boy to whine.

"I hate you!" 

"Oh, I hate you more." 

Jisung gives a glare to his childhood friend. Hwall acted as if he didn't see it, as usual. He took out the snacks he had brought.

"The distance is actually good, though." 

This time Jisung paid attention to his best friend, Yoshi, after taking the snack handed out by Hwall.

"Enlighten me."

Yoshi and Hwall have no idea what occurred between Jisung and Stray Kids. They both believe that Stray Kids are no longer interested in their adorable friend.

"It's a sign that they're not interested in you anymore."Yoshi provided a straightforward answer.

Jisung let out a sigh as he placed the snacks on the table. All this time, Jisung silently observed Chan and his friends' actions towards him. He may have appeared innocent, but he was not blind. The way their eyes sparkled every time they saw him is something he can clearly see.  That led to him agreeing to go on a date with Chan.

"Something happened that caused them to change their attitude like that."

Yoshi and Hwall aimed their gaze directly towards the face of the small boy this time.

"Something happened?"

The boy nodded before reaching for his phone, which rang as a sign of several incoming texts.  As he read texts from his brother, his expression changed.

"Guys, I have to leave now."

When they saw Jisung talking to someone in the car, Changbin and Felix looked at each other.  Their position prevented them from clearly seeing the face of the person who was chatting with Jisung.  The seriousness of what they were discussing could be discerned from Jisung's expression.

Jisung was seen shortly to take out his phone and make a call. Due to the distance, they could not hear the conversation either.  After all, passing cars further restrict their hearing.

"Let's pretend to pass in front of him," Felix suggested and tugged on the older person's arm, who wasn't able to object.

As they approached Jisung, they witnessed the car drive away, leaving Jisung with a pouted expression.

"You're lucky that I love you.."Jisung muttered while looking at the car that was moving away, unaware that there were two men standing behind it.

"Who is that?"

"Agh!"Jisung screamed when Felix's head appeared behind his shoulder. 

Changbin couldn't help but laugh when Jisung gently slapped Felix's arm.

"It's not my belief that the well-known J.One is easily surprised." Felix teased, making Jisung glare at him. Not the scary glares, but the adorable one.

"I'm not J.One." 

"Sure.." Changbin and Felix responded at the same time with a sarcastic tone.

Jisung looked at their faces with a disappointed expression.

"Don't talk to me anymore!"Jisung stormed away, making the other two eyes widen. 

They underestimated how Jisung's sulking could cause them to feel a very strong sense of guilt. 

They also forget that Jisung is J.One.

At the moment, there is an angel in front of them.

Not the devil, J.One..

But they angel, Han Jisung..
