The Lout's Mirage | Songfic

❝ i ostracize the ones who love me back.❞

Cale was bored.

And do you know what he used to do when he is? Sing, well- all by himself, that is. That's why when everyone was gone and were doing their own things, he took this chance to sing and pulled out a self made guitar. And it was time to sing some realistic yet dramatic ones that came from a famous content creator back then.

Ah, too bad- the world went to shit and the singer disappeared, well, it became apocalyptic - so the only solution everyone could make out was that he didn't make it out alive.

Raon stalks the redhead as he pulls out the communication orb, connecting to everyone in the villa. Everyone prepared again for what the other had to sing about his inner issues.

It started off quiet except for the sounds of tapping that came from Cale then it started. It was already sad from the start and they all shared a grimace.

I thought I couldn't love anymore
Turns out I can't, but not for the same reasons as before

Raon slightly grips on the orb as he frowns, 'but you do love..'

Eruhaben who was beside Raon could only shake his head as he scowls minutely, 'you bastard... i said come to me when you have problems.'

I use everyone I ever meet
I can't find the perfect match

Alberu pursed his lips in frustration. "... for good reasons, you do." He doesn't get this dongsaeng of his, it's not like he put force then anyway. Everyone came because it was either their choice or out of obligation.

Abuse those I love
While I ostracize the ones who love me
Back

Ron touches the handle of the tea cup, his smile disappears as his forehead creased. What does he mean by abuse? Was it the trashy behaviour he had? But... he never did hit anyone. Although the last is true, he can't help but feel the need to defend the young boy.

On the path of least resistance, I find myself salting the Earth
Every time that I miss you
I feel the way you hurt

"Is he blaming himself?" Rosalyn asks, she knew the young master loved his mother dearly but for him to say that feels so wrong.

Choi Han sighs, holding the sheath of his sword tightly. He had never heard this song before, "I guess even now, he can't help but blame himself."

"We need a counsellor." Alberu grunts. For everyone.

All of them agreed with his statement.

And I don't deserve you
You deserve the world
Though it feels like we were built
From the same dirt

"More of like we don't deserve you, young master..." Paseton frowns solemnly, Taylor nods his head- agreeing to the half whale's statement.

Archie tuts, "why is everyone so emo these days..."

"Beats me." rasps out a tired chugging drunkard.

I hate to say it
But your sister was right
Don't trust Western boys
With far too much free time

And I hate to say it
But your sister was right
I'm nothing but a problem
Leave you crying overnight

And I hate to say it
But your sister was right
I can't focus on the future only my short sight

Everyone halts in their movements and spaces, an uncomfortable atmosphere shifts around all of them. Speechless, Mary gapes, "Wait-, was young master Cale talking about a lover the whole time then???"

"buT WHO!?"

"YeAH, every single one of us is always with him!"

"What if it was when he was still in his trash phase?" Rosalyn snaps her fingers, an imaginary glasses appeared in front of them as she puts it on, "okay, let's be honest. I'm pretty sure no one cared enough to check on him when he was still trash."

Everyone silenced as they all stare at each other. Hesitantly, they all agrees. "Well, dunno about mister Ron though." Litana nervously laughs.

"I agree. Ron must've at least stalked Cale in one of his outings, right?" Hannah, the ever so brave one, bluntly looks at the assassin who smiles. He didn't even try to deny it!

Beacrox sighs as his eyes travel somewhere. "He did but he found nothing. It was the same old tantrums."

Rosalyn smirks, "Hm, I don't think that the young master would abuse the person he loves even when was still trash. I'd say that, what if - this song was created because Young master Cale wanted this to be sung to him? His lover could be the abuser and cale wrote the song so he could reassure himself that his lover at least cared for him and that knows his mistake? I've always seen young master Cale back then at arm's reach, he could never be approach unless he lets you. He doesn't achieve nor receive the affection we give and he uses justification for him to actually accept it. His ex lover must've been so abusive emotionally and physically yada yada--"

Choi Han immediately backs out from that as rosalyn starts her conspiracy. He doesn't know about Kim Rok Soo but that is personal for Original Cale.

It was clearly a misunderstanding. He could see On sighing exasperatedly beside him.

I hate to say it
But your sister was right
I'm a wanker
Complete wanker
A fucking waste of time

Cale coughs and puts back the guitar back on the spatial bag, hoping no one saw or hear him. Clearing his throat, he mutters and gulps down the water from the cup. "Well, my throat hurts."

He didn't know how in the background was chaos itself as ruckus was made with people saying their crazy arse White lunatic level conspiracies of theories of his lovelife.
