A Sick Fairytale ∥ H.JS - Minho 【Stray Kids】

⒏ 「CAUGHT」

As I was sitting

Just looking around in front of me

I felt Jisung staring at me

Like he was intense staring

"Hey,"

He called out

Was it me he's talking to?

I hummed

If it's not me he's talking to

I can just recover from that

"Why the hood?"

I stiffened

It is me he's talking to

I guess I'm getting caught already

"Can you put it down?"

There it is

'Do it. Don't you want some attention?'

The voice said

I guess I do

I do want some attention

Someone to care

But is this the way to do it?

I put my hood down

The bruise on full display now

I noticed some other students looking at me

Yes

Look at me

How do I look?

Pathetic?

Are you curious yet?

"Why?"

What why?

Jisung, I don't even know why myself

"Who did that?"

He asked

Jisung reached his hand up to my cheek

It hurt

I flinched, worry filling Jisung's face when I did so

But I let him touch it anyways

He seemed to be in a trance, observing the bruise

"I just got into a fight yesterday when I was heading home from your place,"

I lied

What a lame excuse

Can't come up with a better one at the moment

"Are the people you got into a fight with, hanging around there often?"

At least he believes me

But why the question?

"The next time you have to go to your place late, call me, then I'll come and help."

"It's always better with one more person."

That's unexpected

Why would he say something like that to me

We don't even know each other

But still

I'm glad

He seems to care

For some sort of reason

I don't mind

I turned towards him

"Okay. I'll do that. Thanks,"

I accepted his offer

It's a weird thing to ask

But I'm glad he did

Thanks, Jisung
