and, to be honest

00:21

the thing is, tinn and gun would rarely fight. so when gun was silent on their way to wherever he was taking him, tinn was clueless.

"gun, can you tell me what's wrong?" the boy asks, furrowing his eyebrows. he's been dragged to a quiet hallway that's not really used by students because it was in the complete opposite side of the school.

they come near the stairs before gun stops. he lets go of tinn's hand and the other looks at him confused.

"why are we here?" tinn asks. when gun turns around, he's scowling, which makes tinn frown. "are you okay, gun?"

"is this why you avoided answering me?" gun states.

"huh?" he says. "what are you saying? i told you i needed time." his response makes gun chuckle.

the younger steps closer to him. "for what? so you can figure out if you like me or kajorn more?" he asks as he slightly pushes tinn's shoulder.

this makes tinn scoffs. "are you serious?" he's gotten into a heated fight with his own mum over gun and that same boy thinks he wants someone else?

"why wouldn't i be? i tell you i like you and this is what you do to me? just say you don't like me back, tinn." gun's voice gets louder. tinn tightens his lips seeing the pained look on gun's face.

he wants to clear everything up and tell the boy he saw wrong but gun doesn't give him the chance. he pushes tinn's shoulder again.

"why can't you just be honest?" he asks.

"gun, listen to me." tinn puts his hands on gun's neck to make him stay still. gun looks to the side to avoid his face but tinn turns his head around by his chin.

"you're misunderstanding. i don't like kajorn. we were just talking. you saw it wrong." he says carefully. looking into the other's eyes.

"shut up!" gun pushes him away. "you know he likes you. and you still let him touch you like that. you don't care about how i feel?" he speaks. respecting tinn's personal boundaries, gun was willing to be patient for him. he regrets feeling hopeful after seeing the two boys together.

tinn audibly groans. he's frustrated from fighting with different people every other day. as much as he wanted to consult gun right now, he couldn't help but get pissed.

"who said kajorn likes me?"

gun shakes his head. "are you really that stupid or acting dumb on purpose?" he scoffs, glaring at tinn. that might've just made him madder because no way tinn is that oblivious.

"i told you, gun. you misunderstood everything." tinn honestly says. kajorn saw him listening to music alone and approached him to spend some time together since they haven't really talked a lot. they were just catching up with each other and then gun walked in.

"stop making a big deal out of it." he adds, not thinking properly.

tinn looks away for a brief second only to feel gun's palm against his cheek.

gun slapped him. he widens his eyes when it starts burning as his hand touches his skin. "you fucking asshole! i don't wanna see your face anymore!" gun starts yelling.

"gun—" tinn quickly holds his arm when the boy is about to leave. "fuck off! seriously!" gun aggressively tries to push him off but tinn grabs both of his wrists.
