STRAY KIDS one shots 2

Come Out, Please

Author p.o.v

Someone is currently occupying the bathroom in their shared house for almost thirty minutes. She is not there for doing 'business' but she is there to sob her heart out. Weird, she knows it. While others sob on their bedroom or somewhere else, she is sobbing on their bathroom which some other consider a dirty place.

She never likes to be seen this way. She hates it when others see this side of her. She could always easily fake a smile and go on her day without making other feels suspicious. It has always been this way but today is too much for her.

She feels a lot of pressure today. The pressure she is feeling even make it hard to just walk straight. It all started with a small sniffle, followed by watery eyes, and a tear. All of those happened on their living room which explain why she was dashing with all her might to their bathroom thirty minutes ago.

She sobs and sobs. Her tears can't seem to be stopped even when she tried to. She covers her mouth tightly hoping it would silence the ugly sobs from escaping but it doesn't help. She tries to wash her face again and again yet it still doesn't help. She is tried now but fresh tears are still there. Flowing non stop through her now swollen eyes.

Too busy in trying to stop herself from crying, she missed the sounds of the open front door. Her boyfriend is home now. He drops his bag, tidy up his shoes, wash his hands on teh kitchen sink, even drink a cup of water. And she missed all of those clinking sounds he made.

Jisung: Babe?

Jisung:*mumble* Did she go out?

Jisung: Y/n? I'm home!

She realised it then that her boyfriend is home now and he could hear all those ugly sobs she made. She doesn't answer neither does she make a single noise, she just stay seated on the cold bathroom floor.

A sob went through her swollen lips and it definitely catches her boyfriend attention who is now standing in front of their shared bathroom wanting to go to their shared bedroom.

Jisung: Babe? Is it you?

Again, she answered nothing. She tries her best to silence those sounds that escaped her lips but her hiccups failed her. She is now hiccuping.

Jisung:*knock* Y/n?

Jisung:*worried* Babe, what are you doing there?

He tried to open the door just to realize it was locked from the inside. His worries grows each second passed as he has yet to receive an answer from his girlfriend. He sticks his ear to the door hoping to catch any sounds and he did. He heard everything though it was not that clear. He heard her's sobs, her's cries, and her's muffle words.

Jisung:*worried* Are you okay?

Jisung: Why are you crying?

Worried is evidence in every words he spoke out. He desperately trying to open the door and knocks. He doesn't knocks hard, afraid to scare the poor one inside, but he still ask and ask wanting to hear an answer and not some muffle words.

Y/n: I-I'm okay.
Jisung: Come out please babe. I'm here now.

She just shakes her head as if he could see her. However, as they have been together for three years, he knew that she is now shaking her head behind this bathroom door that separate both of them.

Jisung: Babe, come out please?

It almost sounds like a plead and it is one. He doesn't know what to do. He knows it well how she hates it when others, especially him, see this side of her. This broken side of her. He knows it well but he can't ever ignore it. Not when the one that is broken is her, his significant other. He can't ignore it.

Jisung:*beg* Baby, please.

He is close in crying himself. He wants to cuddle her now. He wants to tell her that everything gonna be okay and he is here for her but he can't even passed through the door. He can only reach out his voice and not his hands. He is desperate.

On the other side, y/n could hear his' plead. She could hear him clearly which make her more guilty. She is sad but she doesn't want him to be sad. She glance to the mirror and it displays how red and swollen her face now is. Her eyes and cheeks are red, her lips are swollen from the constant bitting it receives.

She glance the locked door before whispering something. It was small but she hopes he could catch it.

Y/n:*whisper* Sung.
Jisung: I'm here y/n-ah.
Y/n:*whisper* Will you be there?
Jisung:*nod* I will.
Y/n:*whisper* Even when I look like this?
Jisung: Even when you look like that.

She carefully take each step up till both of her feet are the one on the ground and not her bum. Her hands brush against the handle still feeling anxious about opening the door and revealing how bad she looks to him, is what she believes.

Y/n:*whisper* Sung?
Jisung: Yes baby?
Y/n:*whisper* Are you really there?
Jisung: I'm here. I won't run away.
Y/n:*sob* I look ugly Sung-ah.
Jisung: You always look pretty y/n-ah. You always do.
Y/n:*whsiper* Can I come out?
Jisung:*beg* Please do.

She hesitant but, at last, she twisted the handle and open the door that has been seperating the couple.

He finally could have a good looks on her. Without wasting any time, he pull her in his embrace and hug her tight. No words need to be exchanged as they both know how other feels.

Y/n:*sob* Sung-ah!
Jisung: I'm here.

Her cries goes on even louder when she is inside her boyfriend's embrace. She feels like her tears could never stop now. Unlike just now, she doesn't make any effort to stop the streaming tears. She lets those tears of hers wets her boyfriend's shoulder.

Jisung: I'm here now babe.
Y/n: N-no look.
Jisung:*smile* I won't look.
Y/n: Ju-just stay.
Jisung: Yes miss!

As she is now inside his embrace, he feels a lot better. He could even crack out a smile now as she is finally coming back to him slowly.

They stayed there, from standing till cuddling on the floor, somehow, they still managed to do all those in front of the open bathroom door. They put each other tight and warm in their embrace. They make sure to make each other feel safe. They make sure to let each other know how much they cared for them.

As it was mentioned before, no words need to be exchanged as they truly know how each other feel.
