lunch time // seungjin

it was starting to get boring in this room, four white walls as though they symbolised peacefulness and equality, it disgusts jeongin. purity was a term long gone from his vocabulary, all left in his mind was manipulation, power and sadism. there wasn't a tint of black in this room, no sense of mysteriousness. there wasn't a tint of red in this room, no signs of danger. disgusting.

jeongin laid back and shut his eyes, replaying the scene of seungmin's face contortioning in pain, the way he was desperately gasping for air. jeongin feels the power, the superiority the pleasure by simply watching someone suffer just thrills him. he could still feel how hard seungmin's lungs were refusing to stop, how his windpipe was contracting and expanding intensely trying to get air. it was all a sad failure.

the door opens and jeongin is pretty sure it's hyunjin and chan, without opening his eyes he relaxed his body limply to seem like he was asleep. time to get into the acting mood.

chan walked over and rubbed jeongin's side to wake the " sleeping " boy, his eyes slowly fluttered opened and adjusted to his surroundings. he immediately put on a worried expression when he saw chan's red eyes, he raised his arm that was injured to caress chan's cheek but winced from the pain. groaning from the pain that shot up his arm, as though he didnt enjoy that burning sensation. 

chan immediately gave an assuring smile and lightly squeezed jeongin's hand signalling for him to talk to hyunjin who was standing near the door an unamused look hung on his face. hyunjin was suspicious of jeongin and as much as he didnt want to be in this room he really wanted to know how jeongin was going to lie his way out. 

" ah- hyung... i- " jeongin stuttered as he let out a choked sob. " i-i know this is going to be h-h..hard to believe but- "

" seungmin... he- he saw this locket i had and h-he suddenly took out a pocket knife and- " jeongin broke out into a full on sob, his shoulders shaking and head faced down. 

" i think you heard enough, whether you want to believe it its your choice. but the evidence of his actions is sitting right here, i hope you think about this seriously. " chan said as he saw the blank expression on hyunjin's face. 

" seungmin did this to you? " hyunjin asked, voice filled with confusion and concern. if jeongin wanted to play emotion games hyunjin was definitely down, jeongin could fake emotion but it doesnt mean hyunjin cant. his brows furrowed together and creased his forehead. he silently nodded and left the room, the nod wasnt excessive because chan saw it. chan was so easily fooled its such a big disadvantage sometimes, that simple nod convinced chan that hyunjin believed whatever jeongin told him. 

when hyunjin left the room, jeongin stopped crying and started to take control of his breathing. to show he " cares ", jeongin raised his head and tinily mumbled, " channie hyung are you okay...? " 

chan couldnt help but breakout into a bitter smile, sure he wasnt fine but he didnt want to worry jeongin, he didnt feel like its right to talk about another person when he was with jeongin. a way about how jeongin talked just made chan constantly care and protect him, it was scaring chan sometimes because he himself doesnt know what hes doing but theres just a voice in his head telling him. 

jeongin. hes the only one there for you, you have to protect him. jeongin is always right. 

" channie hyung, i told you they werent good people. i know something most probably happened between you and hyunjin, thats why i told you hyung. im the only one that cares chan, im the only one and the others? you mean nothing to them. " jeongin emphasised, it was scary how he delivered such a manipulative order in such a sweet voice. 

chills went down chan's spine and he shivered ever so slightly from jeongin's statement. he nodded and looked into jeongin's eyes. the younger's olive orbs stared back, intimidatingly captivating, it drew chan in and chan couldnt help but nod. he didnt break away from jeongin's stare, he could feel his dark brown orbs screaming at him to look away. his brain yelling at him to look away, leave the room, run. but his heart controlled him, his heart kept repeating and repeating the same few sentences and he believed it. 

jeongin is there for you, trust him. 

jeongin is the only one that you can trust, the only one you can trust.

jeongin knows whats best for you.

listen to him, submit.

" right chan hyung? " jeongin asked after awhile, breaking the silence between the two. chan snapped into reality and nodded, once, twice, three times and suddenly broke into tears. jeongin let out a satisfied smile and gladly pulled the crying boy into his arms, chan looks so pretty crying. 

the tears that rolled down his red eyes and puffy cheeks made him look even cuter than he usually is, the way his bottom lip trembles sometimes. to jeongin it was all so cute, he was savouring the sight of this beautiful being that looked even mroe beautiful while crying.

" channie im always here for you, youll be here for me too right? "
