jisung woke up, his head hurting.
his eyes were stinging as he opened them.

he slowly sat up.

"jisung, honey, hey."
a familiar voice said.

jisung felt someone sitting on the bed, and he opened his eyes, just to see his boyfriend, looking worriedly at him.

hyunjin loves me...

jisung laid back down, throwing the covers over his head.

he didn't want to face hyunjin.
not now.

hyunjin sighed.
"jisung, please, listen to me. this all has an explanation. just let me explain."

"how can I know that you're telling the truth?"
jisung asked, still hiding under the covers.

"I would never do something to hurt you, jisung. you just have to trust me."

jisung sighed.
could he?
could he trust hyunjin?

"jisung, please."

jisung sat up, looking at his hands as he played with his fingers.
he wasn't strong enough to face hyunjin.

"speak. the truth. no excuses, no lies. I want the truth. are you...cheating on me?"
jisung asked, almost breaking down when the word 'cheating' left his mouth.

"the truth is, that I had something special planned out for you. I wanted to make some arrangements for this surprise, so I told you I was at minhos to hide suspicions. I wanted you to have a nice surprise, and I wanted to see you smile. I had no idea that Minho was here. I'm sorry, it really looked bad, but I promise you that it's nothing."
hyunjin said, purposely avoiding jisungs question.

jisung didn't say anything.
he continued playing with his fingers, not looking at hyunjin.

honestly, hyunjin was an amazing liar.
and even better manipulator.
it all sounded like he was really telling the truth.
and jisung wanted to believe him.
he wanted, but something was holding him back.

hyunjin just sighed.
"jisung, look at me."

jisung didn't raise his head.
"I need to process this hyunjin. I will go and stay the night at Felix's house."

hyunjins eyes widened.
"what do you mean? I told you the truth, so why are you leaving?"

he was shocked.
jisung always forgave him.
and now, he was going to stay at friends house?
this was the first time something like this happened.
it made hyunjin worried.

jisung sighed.
"I just need a little while. I will be back tomorrow. and I want to talk to Felix about this."

hyunjin scoffed.
"why would you talk to Felix about this? you know you can't trust him. he will tell you only bad things about me, and he will manipulate you."

jisung frowned.
"don't talk about Felix like this. he's my best friend, and I just want to spend the night with him."

jisung got out of bed.
he wanted to take some things and call Felix that he will be coming over, but hyunjin stopped him.
he harshly grabbed his wrist.

"ow, that hurts."

"jisung, you can't leave."

"let go of me, you're hurting me."
jisung whined, close to crying.

"stay."

"no! I'm not some dog you can just boss around! I'm a person too, hyunjin! I have my rights, and I want to spend the night at my best friends house."
jisung yelled.

hyunjin was shocked.
jisung never raised his voice at him.

jisung noticed that the grip of hyunjins hand was lighter, so he took the opportunity and he got out of his grasp and started running.

he wanted to take few things, like tooth brush, his pajamas, his charger, and some clothes that he can go to the bookstore tomorrow in.
but he forgot about that.
he just wanted to leave the apartment as soon as possible.

he didn't stop running, until he was far enough, and when he made sure hyunjin wasn't following him.

he started sobbing, and it was really hard for him to keep walking.
he was so mentally exhausted.
but somehow, he managed to get to Felix's house.

he knocked on the door, and few second later, felix opened the door, his eyes widening when he saw in what state jisung was.

"sung? what happened? why are you crying?"
felix asked, panicking.
he hugged jisung, and after a while of standing outside, felix guarded jisung inside, sitting him on his couch.

"tell me what happened sung."
felix said, caressing jisungs back.

•~•

"THAT FUCKING BITCH!"
Felix yelled when jisung was done explaining what happened.

jisung flinched.
"felix, please don't yell."
he said, close to breaking down again.

Felix sighed, as he hugged jisung.
"I'm sorry, it's just so frustrating. you know that what he told you were lies, right?"

jisung didn't answer.
"but....but he sweared he was telling the truth..."

felix closed his eyes, sighing.
"sung, listen to me, okay? tell me, when was the last time hyunjin did something nice for you?"

"h-he has too much work now-"

"no, jisung. you are his boyfriend, you should be his priority. some people have two jobs and are still able to see and spend time with their loved ones.
( a/n: yeah dad, listen to felix 😃 )
when was the last time he did something nice for you?"

"he took me to the Barbie mo-"

"jisung, honey, we talked about this. that's almost eight months ago. when did he brought you flowers, or tell you that you're beautiful? when did he last gave you a compliment?"

"when we have sex, he's really-"

"no jisung. not when sex. like...in a normal day. did he come home and bring you flowers? did he come home and tell you that he missed you? did he ever came home and told you you look beautiful?"

there was a silence for a few moments.

"I....i never got flowers from him..."
jisung said quietly.

felix just sighed.
"I'm not trying to manipulate you, sung. I just want you to see that you deserve better. I'm sorry, but it just seems he's actually cheating. I don't know if he is, but it's highly possible."

there were no words said after that.
just silence.

felix sighed.
"you have to sleep and think it through. just rest, okay? I will wake you up tomorrow for work."
