"woah! holy shit!" jaemin gasped.

"yeah."

"he did all that?!"

"yeah. put me in some real deep shit." renjun said shaking his head.

"can i see?"

"see what?" renjun looked at jaemin confused.

"you know." jaemin pointed to his arm.

"oh." renjun said looking down.

"yeah." renjun nodded going to the isle with wipes and sitting back in front of jaemin.

jaemin softly grabbed renjun's arm and placed it in front of him.

renjun grabbed a wipe out the wipe bag and started to wipe his arm.

"you don't have to-"

"no it's fine." renjun smiled softly wiping his arm.

"so how?"

"do i cover?" jaemin slowly nodded.

"that and well how does it not come off?"

"oh it does." renjun nodded. "that's why i wear the arm sleeve." renjun said and jaemin finally understood.

"it's done." renjun said and jaemin took his eyes off renjun's face and his attention to renjun's arm.

jaemin slid a finger across renjun's arm softly.

"i'm sorry you went through that." jaemin said.

"these scars are nothing." renjun shrugged. "just sucked how people thought i was suicidal."

jaemin noticed one of the scars was disappearing.

"they're leaving." jaemin pointed out and renjun nodded.

"yeah. i'm glad but they were a reminder that i was a survivor not a victim." renjun said and jaemin nodded.

jaemin placed his hand in renjun's and gave renjun a reassuring smile.

—time skip—

"well it's time for me to go." renjun said with a soft smile.

"aw already?" jaemin whined.

"yes jaemin already." renjun rolled his eyes.

"oh hey renjun before you go." renjun looked at jaemin confused as jaemin pulled something out his back pocket.

"is this yours?" jaemin asked already knowing the answer.

"you had it?!" renjun gasped.

"and you didn't tell me?!" renjun smacked jaemin.

"ah! chill!"

"no! you ass! you had it this whole time?!" renjun furrowed his brows.

"kinda?" jaemin smiled.
