Special [Jenlisa]

Ch.18: Surprise?

"M-my mother's food isn't that good," Lisa twitched her nose, "But Lisa- I have to be nice and say it's good. But it looks like...baby food."

Jimin raised an eyebrow, patting the girl's shoulder lightly, "At least you have a mother."

Lisa sighed, pressing her lips together.

"And your father? Doesn't he cook?" Jimin asked.

"Little stars don't cook," the hazel-eyed one replied, a sad smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

The older one pursed his lips and looked up at the vibrant blue sky, free of clouds.

"Sometimes I feel like being a little star, too," Jimin recounted.

"I had," Lisa swayed her legs, "But I don't t-have any more. You're also going to find your love and the desire to be a little star will pass, Jimin."

The blonde sighed, shaking his head.

"Why are you here?"

Jimin raised an eyebrow at the girl's question.

"That?"

"Ask why you're here. Here's to help the little troublemakers. What's your little troublemaker?"

"Ah," Jimin bit his lip lightly as he lightly ran his index finger across it, "I forgot the name, but I think..." He frowned. "Schizophrenia. That's what people say I have."

"Schizophrenia," Lisa repeated slowly.

"Yeah."

"Your parents say?"

"Yeah"

"They....Th-they don't come to visit you?" Lisa frowned.

"I turned them into little stars."

Lisa gasped, not knowing what to say. She just shrugged her shoulders and looked at the skin on her wrists, which at that moment was free of any bruises.

"Why did you do that?"

Jimin twitched his nose and sighed.

"People don't believe me. Why would you believe me?"

"L-Lisa is not a p-person! Don't say that! I-I'm a unicorn."

"Okay," the taller one bit back a smile, "I wanted to defend myself. They... th-they wanted to hurt me."

"Maybe they wanted y-you to become a little star." Lisa commented, "But I don't want to, J-Jimin."

The boy closed his eyes tightly when he felt two arms wrap around his body. After a few long seconds without any reaction, he finally accepted the hug and patted Lisa's hand a few times.

"Tiger?" Lisa jumped in shock and nearly fell off where she was sitting. "What are you doing there?"

Lisa smiled and braced her hands on the wood so she could climb down from the fence without tripping.

"The railings are not safe, you have to be careful."

"Tae, I'm autistic, not stupid."

Jimin put a hand to his mouth to hold back a laugh and ended up drawing Lisa's attention, who smiled and shrugged for the blonde.

"Okay, Tiger." Taehyung laughed and shook his head in disbelief. "Say goodbye to your friend, it's time to go."

Lisa frowned and waved at the boy, who shyly returned the gesture.

Schizophrenia.

Ski...?"

"Bye, squirrel," the hazel-eyed smiled.
