Chapter 6: Lunch

"Really? He did all of that alone?" Jisoo asked in disbelief, mouth slightly agape.

Jun nodded with a chuckle, "Why? It doesn't look like he's someone to do it?"

Jisoo nodded, still dumbfounded of what jun had revealed.

The younger told him some of Jeonghan's most extreme pranks. It was surprising for someone like Jisoo. He knew about how much of a prankster Jeonghan is but he never thought he would go that far, although Jeonghan never harmed someone. Still, it was way too hard for a simple prank.

Jisoo felt goosebumps as he imagined someone who has such an angelic face like Jeonghan would do that.

"Hyung? You alright?"

Jisoo was snapped out of his own thoughts when Jun called him. He turned to the younger and smiled, "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine."

Jun chuckled and tapped his shoulder reassuringly, "Don't think too much about it, hyung. As long as you don't do anything that'll stress or anger Jeonghan hyung, you're safe from his pranks."

"Huh?" Jisoo asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Jeonghan hyung doesn't prank just because he wants to see others misery. He's pranking people who gives him a lot of stress or angering him. Since he can't handle it well, he releases it by pranking the people who caused him that," Jun explained.

"But that doesn't seem so right."

Jun sighed, "I know. But I can't stop him. he's Yoon Jeonghan. What he wants, he will get. By hook or by crook."

Jisoo fell silent.

"I don't know if I should tell you this but... I'll tell it. The look on your face tells me that you're starting to think of something about Jeonghan hyung," jun said.

The older didn't answer, because it was true anyway.

"Jeonghan hyung has... an anger management issue."

Jisoo abruptly turned to him, "He has what?"

"Anger management issue," Jun repeated. "He can't deal with his anger so well. He told me that in the past, he would slit his wrist just to release his anger. But it doesn't work, so he came up with just pranking those who angered him."

Guilt was evident in Jisoo's face after what Jun had told him.

He felt guilty for judging Jeonghan just like that. He doesn't even know the latter's side. But even so, it wasn't justifyable. However, although it wasn't much better but atleast he won't cause himself harm.

"I'm sorry for judg..."

Jun cuts him off, "No. It's alright."

Before Jisoo can even respond, the door of Jun and Jeonghan's room burst open and came in Jeonghan. Jun quickly eyed Jisoo as he put his finger on his lops, visually telling Jisoo not to tell Jeonghan about what they talked about which the older nodded.

Jeonghan noticed it but he didn't ask anything. Instead, he creased his forehead to Jisoo who's sitting in Jun's bed, "What are you still doing here, Jisoo-ah?"

Jun and Jisoo exchanged glances before he answered, "I was talking with Jun about some random stuffs."

"You finished with your tutoring session?" Jeonghan asked as he slowly walk towards the two.

Jun nodded with a smile, "He's so great, hyung! I thought it was hard but he thought it to me so easily and it didn't even took long enough for me to understand it!"
