Life with stray kids

10) Jisung's realization

Jisung Pov

"Are you guys on your way? I'm getting cold." Izzy said, "Maybe if you didn't run away this wouldn't have been a problem." Felix said through the phone to Izzy.

I sat there in silence for a while, until I noticed an alley way with two people fighting one person. "Felix." I say tapping him on the shoulder. "What?" He said looking at me. "Look." I say pointing to the alley way. "Let's not get involved." He said looking at his phone.

The two people looked up and looked directly at us. Then they started to make their way over to us. "Felix run." I said tapping him. "Why?" He asked. "Their coming to us!" I yell and we both started running. "What did you do?!" He yelled at me. "Nothing!" I yelled back. "This will be quicker to find Izzy!" He yelled.

"Which way?!" I yelled when I saw a two way. "Right!" He yelled back. We ran right and saw Izzy standing there. "Izzy!" I yelled. She turned and saw us being chased by two other people.

We got to Izzy and run behind her. "Hey, stop. Leave them alone. Why are you bothering them?" Izzy asked "They saw ma'am." One of them said. "Okay. I get that it's your job, but this is my brother, and his friend." Izzy said taking a step forward in a protective manner. "Sorry ma'am." They bowed. "Don't let it happen again. Understand?" Izzy asked. "Yes ma'am." They bowed. "Good, you can go now." Izzy said waving them off. They bowed one last time and ran off.

"So, where's the car?" Izzy asked turning toward us. "Back that way." Felix said pointing in the direction where the two people ran in. I could hear Izzy sigh from where I was standing, I guess Felix heard it too because he looked at her, "What? We couldn't drive down here." He said defensively. "I know. Let's go." Izzy said annoyed.

....

We get to the car and get in. "Finally." Izzy said in the back seat. "If you're going to be that way then you can get out of my car and walk home." Felix said turning on the car. "Why are you so crabby?" Izzy asked. "Because you called me when me and Jisung were playing call of duty." He said driving. "And that's my fault, how?" She asked. "Because you can't control your damn emotions." He said clearly angry. "Jeez chill. You might crash the car." She said sitting back.

"Don't give him any ideas." I said with wide eyes. "Oh, hi Jisung." She said looking at me. "Hi." I said annoyed. "Sorry, you were just really quiet, I forgot you were here." Izzy said apologetically. "It's okay." I said turning to look out the window.

"Why did you forgive her?" Felix asked still facing the road. "Because she had a reasonable reason." I said still looking out the window. "You're too forgiving." Felix said pulling into the driveway.

"Sorry?" I said getting out of the car and slamming the door. I walk inside and go to my room ignoring the people calling me.

Once I get to my room, I lock my door and slide down it. I started crying. People always forget about me. It's not fair. Why can't I be like the others and have a presence. I'm always forgotten.

I was in front of my door crying until I heard a soft knock on my door. I quickly wipe my eyes and unlock the door. I open it and see Minho standing there.

"Hey. You okay?" He asked with the look of worry. "Yeah, I'm fine." I said with a small smile. "Okay, do you want to go get some ice cream?" He asked pointing down the hall with his thumb. "Sure. Do we have some or are we going to go get some?" I asked. "Let's go get some, if that's okay." He said. "Yeah, it's okay." I said walking out the room and following Minho down the hall.
