Dispatch || Han Jisung

-18-

It's been two weeks and JYP hasn't spoken a word towards me and my members. Our promotions are over and mostly, JYP always congratulates us. But not this time. Every time we've walked into him in the hallways, he just nods and keeps on walking.

Apparently, Stray Kids have been informed by this. Minhi told Changbin most of the story and Changbin told the whole group, of course. This happened like four days ago and Jisung texted me immediately, asking me to hang out once he comes back from his parents' place.

Dispatch uploaded some updates on me and Jisung and said that we would most likely spend our days off together at his parents' house, which is bullshit. Jisung and I didn't hang out together that much, since we didn't want to give Dispatch something they want.

Jisung just came back from his parents yesterday and we're going to hang out today. He told me to meet up at the restaurant on the rooftop of the mall, which is for idols only. That's one of the few places others can't come and where you see male and female idols meeting up without having to be afraid of dating scandals.

Akari and I are hanging out together in our living room. The other members are with their families, but the both of us don't have good contact with ours. She is actually the only one I would trust with the knowledge of what my parents did, but I haven't told her yet. We made a promise to tell each other what's going on with our families once we're both ready.

We're watching a new anime that just came out and we're both already obsessed. Akari claimed the popcorn bowl and I bow over her to grab a handful too.

We just finished another episode and I look at the time, realizing I have to get ready to meet up with Jisung. I get up from my seat and walk into my and Dawn's bathroom to shower myself.

I clean myself up, put on some nice clothes I already picked out this morning so I won't have a mental breakdown just before I have to leave, and do my makeup. In just 40 minutes, I'm done and walk out the bathroom, going to my bedroom to choose out some jewelry.

I should've picked those out this morning too.

Just then, Akari walks in and looks through my accessories, picking some out herself. I thank her and put them on. I look at myself in the mirror one last time and smile, succeeded.

I have 20 minutes to get to the mall, so I grab my keys, put on my coat and shoes, and hug Akari goodbye before walking out the dorm, my uber already waiting for me outside.

I arrive at the mall and pay the uber driver before putting on my facemask and a bucket hat. I make my way to the rooftop and see the boy already waiting for me. Once I close the door behind me, I get rid of my disquise and walk to him.

Jisung looks me up and down, looking at my presence, and smiles to himself. "You look beautiful as always."

I lock my arm in his and we walk to the reception of the restaurant. "I could say the same about you."

A waitress shows us our table and we walk to our assigned table. I take off my coat and sit down, Jisung following my actions. "There's one thing I have to ask you," I begin. "Is this a date or are we just going out as friends?"

Jisung looks confused. "Of course it's a date."

I blush slightly and nod my head. "Then that's settled."

We talk about every possible thing that pops up in our heads. In the meantime, we order some food and receive it not long after, enjoying the taste of the different meals. We had a splendid evening, until Akari texted me.

I hear my phone receive a message, but I don't want to disturb our date. But, my phone keeps on receiving messages, so I become a little worried.

"You should get that, I don't mind," Jisung reassures me and I smile at him before taking out my phone.

Once I see the text message of Akari, my eyes grow wide and I clench my teeth together. Jisung notices this and looks concerned. "Is there something wrong?"

I look at him. "Akari told me that my parents are at the dorms."
