Ch. 83

"Why would you come all the way out here.." Chan said. It was almost like he was trying to get Jisung to confess something.

"I don't know really... I just felt like it." Jisung muttered, "Why don't you believe me..?" He asked quietly, "I'm telling the truth.."

Chan sighed as the reached the car. He bent down and opened the door, allowing Jisung to crawl in without having to step foot on the ground.

Once he was safely buckled up, Chan made his way around the car and got in the driver's seat, adjusting himself.

Jisung pulling his legs up to his chest trying to keep warm in his sweater. Outside was super dark, and he wasn't entirely sure how he had been so stupid as to come out here.

Was he out of his mind? He most literally could have frozen to death. Jisung could be stubborn at times and it wasn't a very kept secret.

Jisung looked over at Chris, waiting for him to start the car, but he never did.

"Hyung..?" Jisung asked. Chan looked distressed and confused, like he was trying to work out an emotionally draining puzzle.

Chan glanced at the younger boy, but didn't say much for a moment. He opened his mouth to speak but hesitated for a moment, "Jisung you know I care deeply about you.." he said finally.

"And I care about you as well.." Jisung was starting to get worried? Was Chan mad? Had he done something wrong? Jisung didn't want to get yelled at.

"I've had a few friends who have committed suicide.." he trailed off.

Oh. So that's what it was. Chris thought that Jisung was out here tonight to kill himself... did he think Jisung to be that unstable..?

"I love you so much and I'd never bare for you to do something like that." Chris whispered, tears brimming his eyes as he stared out the front view mirror.

Jisung shook his head, "It's not like that.. I swear. I'm telling you the truth, I wasn't here to kill myself.." he choked on his words.

"Okay.." Chan whispered, "But you should know, if you ever feel that way, for whatever reason, I won't spend a single second hesitating to help you. I'm right here and I always will be. Think of me as a dad if you so please, but whatever it is I mean to you, you mean the world to me.."

Jisung bit his tongue hard, stopping from crying, "Do you really mean that? You're sure you're not just.." he trailed off.

"Of course. Why would I say that if it wasn't true?" He asked, tears silently spilling over his cheeks.

"I don't know. I feel like you might just feel sorry for what Minho did. You shouldn't you know, I deserved it." Jisung tried to smile reassuringly, but failed miserably when he saw the look on Chris' face.

"How? Why? Why would you ever deserve that?" He finally looked over to make eye contact with the younger.

Jisung couldn't help but stutter over his words. The way Chan looked at his seemed so.. intense.. "W-well, he was only telling me the truth, I, I have no reason to be mad about that-"

"What?" Chan seemed kind of angry now, "Was Minho the one who told you that?" He perked up slightly.

"Well no-"

"Then who? Jeong-Hoon? I will beat him up-" Chan basically threatened.

Jisung had never seen Chan mad before, and he was glad. This was one of the most petrifying things he had ever been through, even if he knew Chris would never hurt him.

"No-" Jisung tried to difuse the situation, "I came to that conclusion on my own, Jeong-Hoon and Minho had nothing to do with it.."

"Don't think that way Jisung." Chan relaxed a little bit, "The things that Minho said have no reflection on who you are as a person and especially not the things that Jeong-Hoon does. I've heard about it from Minho."

Jisung sighed, "Minho doesn't really care anyways.."

Chan was confused for a moment, but caught on quickly. He had no place however to tell Jisung about Minhos feelings. Shouldn't he already know from the journal anyway..?

"Trust me Sungie, Minho cares. He just can't show it."
