Liar | CHENJI

Five

Chenle was sitting in the bathroom stall with his knees against his chest crying.

Why was he crying? There's nothing to cry about? Yet, he felt his head was so clouded in thoughts. He couldn't even tough it out to the point to text Jisung to make him feel better.

He was struggling and terrified.

"What if they yell at me for my mistake? What if...What if they kick me out..." he said to himself roughly ruffling his hair.

When he was doing perfectly fine, he just broke. All the swarming what ifs, The scary shadows surrounding him telling him all the things he didn't wanna hear.

The chinese boy couldn't handle it.

Jisung bit at his thumb starring at his phone aggressively.

As soon as he was going to get up, The CALL.

IT WAS CHENLE.

He quickly answered it, "CHENLE?! are you okay? do yo- Why are you crying? whats happening?!" Jisung stood up and grabbed his keys quickly, "Do you want me to pick you up?....Don't worry Chenle breathe dear..." he said softly.

Jisung Stayed on then phone with Chenle as he went to his car. Chenle was struggling really bad and he wouldn't dare leave him alone to give himself such terrible advice.

"Stay on the line with me Chenle okay?" he said getting in and starting it putting his phone on the stand driving.

"Ji, i'm not good enough what if i'm not? Im so scared. I can't do this."

"Yes, yes you can Chenle...I know you more than anyone in a friend group. You are okay. You're doing beautiful."

"You swear...?"

Jisung heard that and it felt like a bunch of needles piercing him. Only because of the thought of how many lies he's told chenle. It made him think about how hard it would be if Chenle knew the truth of half of the stuff he's said.

Just like his hyungs always told him, "eventually Chenle will get the lies and you'll be the one to have to tell him the whole truth. Even if it will lead to something you don't want".

Jisung gripped his wheel tighter speaking, "I swear Le. I promise you i'm coming. Please hang in there." he said taking a breath.

Right when Jisung got there he didn't even have time to take the keys out his car. He put it in park and hopped out quickly.

Bolting to the bathroom and clearly knowing what stall he was in, "CHENLE!" he said worriedly.

Chenle lifted his head up hearing the only voice he wanted at that time. Getting up and unlocking the door slowly due to how weak he felt.

Jisung saw him and he just embraced him.

The chinese boy held onto jisung feeling completely safe. It was like all the worries and black scary shadows faded.

His best friend was like his shield from everything.

Thank you Ji....For saving me again.
