Witch Academy | TaeKook ✓

LXII

Lucas gasped out of breath as he stopped at his steps. He held onto the tree beside him to relax for a bit. He really was getting a workout today.
He wouldn't usually get out of the bar- or even leave the academy or his house at all- if noone had noticed.

But today, his introvertive self, begged to differ.
And the reason for that was Haneul.
After that bullshit he pulled at Jungkook he ran away. And oh boy did that anger Lucas. So he ended up following after him- not realizing that he actually had.. but now that he realized it, he gave out a long sigh.

"Ah... what am i doing.."

Haneul frowned, raising his voice from behind him.

"I wonder that too. Why did you come after me?"

Lucas got startled, but it didn't take him long to calm down as he turned around to face him.

"I should be the one asking! Why would you do that? I get it- you hate Jungkook and are jelous- but throwing the ball at Taehyung after manipulating it's magic? That was horrible."

Haneul looked down, seeming regretfull. Yet the frown on his face didn't seem like it was going to go away. So that was his coping mechanism.

"I... i actually didn't mean to throw it at him. I just... got distracted."

Lucas frowned, now dissapointed.

"That's even worse Haneul. It doesn't matter who you were pointing it at- but deciding to hurt to satisfy your jelousy? I know you're better than that."

Haneul gritted his teeth, annoyed.

"Well maybe i am not! Maybe- i'm just a horrible person!"

Lucas' frown slowly washed away as he took a step back after Haneul took a step forth- getting closer to him.

"No you're not- you're just confused-"

Haneul scoffed, pushing him back by his chest.

"And who are you to tell me that? What- did your feelings go over your head? Do you want to sleep with me that bad that you're trying to win me over?"

Lucas got offended as his frown came back in a split second.

"What? It's nothing like that! I'm just trying to help you-"

Haneul hummed, leaning in closer.

"Help me? In return of what? Come on- tell me the price. I'm shure you want something in return."

Lucas bit his lip as he looked into his burning eyes.
Haneul wasn't himself at the moment and he could clearly see that.
He was being irrational- sprouting words here and there to take away the fact that he was amplifying his jelousy by directing it towards his anger.
And in all honesty, Lucas didn't know how to fix that. It complicated the situation a lot.

"I... i do want to help you Haneul... believe me. And i want nothing in return..."

It was true, he just liked helping people. That was his job for years. And he didn't mind going through some lengths to do so. But for Haneul... maybe he went a step further to do that. Maybe... a couple more steps. Yeah- definetly over twenty steps.

In return to his honest answer, Haneul took a step back and then looked away. He could see that he wasn't lying but... what he needed right now wasn't help. He just needed to cool himself down.

"J-just leave it. I don't need any help."

After that he walked away, leaving Lucas alone to his toughts.
