Time passes.
The day went by quickly. They say that's how it is when you have fun, but I don't know what to believe.
Jisung is walking on my right side silently, eyeing his feet. The atmosphere around us is more comfortable now than before. I suppose that we're starting to warm up to each other.
Well, he's more relaxed around me than I am, that's a given.
I'm not convinced if that's the right thing to do. Getting close, I mean. I don't know if I want that. I'm not very friendly. You could tell that I'm more of a loner.
Despite that, and the rumours, and everything in my mind, there is one person that I trust.
He's been my friend forever, even though he's way younger than me. He's very kind. Everyone cares for him.
We haven't talked lately, mostly because I've been ghosting him. There's no reason behind my actions and I do feel bad since he's always trying to be there for me, but deep down it's better like this.
Isolated. I like that.
No. If I think about it there are actually two people. But I haven't seen the second one in so long. It's impossible now. Whatever.
"What are your plans this summer?" Jisung asks in a quiet voice, kicking a rock.
"Killing myself."
"Minho, besides that." he scoldingly shoves my arm.
What do I want to do this summer? I don't know. There's not one thing that pricks my interest.
"No other plans," I sigh and make a turn to the left, now stepping on the sand. "You?"
"I don't really have anything planned either. I think I'll just.. try to survive."
"So you're willing to stay alive?"
He stops in his tracks for a second, then immediately starts walking again behind me. "I don't know, my situation is quite complicated."
"How?"
"I can't explain it."
I decide to change the subject, since he's not generous enough to tell me more about his past.
We saunter around the shore.
"Are you excited for school to start?" I look at the nebulous clouds above getting carried away by the unforgiving wind.
"Vacation just began. There's plenty of time till it's going to start. Don't be such a buzzkill," he rolls his eyes and plops down on the ground. Decides he's had enough of aimlessly strolling.
