"So? We literally kissed the other day." Leeknow said blankly.

Jisung's eyes widen, covering his mouth from shock.

"What's wrong?" Leeknow looked at Jisung innocently, eating his ice cream happily.

"How can you say that so casually.." Jisung face palmed.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Leeknow chuckled nervously.

"How did you even follow me here?"

"I brought my car." Leeknow said, pointing at the parked car beside the road.

Minutes passed by, the two sitting quietly side by side on the swings, they finally finished eating the ice creams Jisung bought.

"Thank you." Leeknow thanked the younger.

"For what?"

"For giving me the mint choco ice creams."

"It's nothing. I didn't liked the taste anyways." Jisung chuckled.

Leeknow looked at the younger, feeling glad that he sees Jisung smiling again. "I.. I know a spot here at the park. It has a really nice view." Leeknow started.

"Where?"

"Maybe a two minute walk from here. Do you want to go there?"

Jisung hesitated, but the thought of him being alone in his dorm again encouraged him to spend more time with the older.

"Sure, lead the way."

"Okay!" Leeknow stood up excitedly.

Jisung chuckled at how cute Leeknow looks as he also stands up.

The two started walking to their destination.

Jisung furrowed his eyebrows as he looks at Leeknow. "What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?" Leeknow asked confusedly.

"You're literally 6 feet away from me." Jisung stared at the older who's keeping his distance.

"Didn't you said earlier that you don't want me to come near you?" Leeknow laughed.

Jisung rolled his eyes. "Forget that! Come over here, I can't even properly hear what you're saying."

Leeknow laughed, walking beside Jisung.

The two walked closely side by side, enjoying their stroll. They're avoiding each other gaze to prevent the situation from being awkward.

"We're here." Leeknow announced.

"Whoa.." Jisung stared in awe at the scenery.

Leeknow led him to a spot beside the lake, where the moonlight reflects the dim night beautifully and the stars shines brightly.

Leeknow sits on the grass. "Come." he taps the spot beside him, signalling Jisung to sit.

Jisung obeyed, sitting on the soft grass. "It's so beautiful here. Do you often go here?" Jisung asked, staring at the moon above.

"Yeah, this is my favorite spot. I don't usually see people go here around this hour, which makes it a hundred times better. You know, when you want some peace in quiet alone."

"I agree, this is a perfect place for that." Jisung sighed.

"You okay?" Leeknow looked at the younger.

"Mhm, I badly needed this right now." Jisung spoke softly, "Thank you."

"I'm glad you like it." Leeknow smiled.

The two enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, staring at the lake which has the reflection of the moon. Feeling the cold breeze of the wind.

"Hyung.." Jisung broke the silence.

"Hm?"

"I'm sorry for the things I said to you earlier at your house.." Jisung looked down.

"Don't apologize, I completely understand what you felt. I'm the one who's sorry, I should've asked you first before calling them.. what I did was completely stupid."

"Don't say that. It wasn't stupid, I know you just wanted to help me."

"I know.. but I made the situation worse didn't I?" Leeknow sighed. "D-Did your mother do anything to you?" Leeknow worriedly looks at Jisung.

"No.. but we got into a fight. She kept asking me to go to a therapist, she said I need it because “My suicidal sickness” is coming back again." Jisung chuckled.

"Again?" Leeknow frowned.

"Since childhood, I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder. So I often suffered from panic attacks here and there. There was this one time in my teenage years where I.. attempted killing myself." Jisung gulped.

"It was because of my father who always tends to abuse me for whatever reasons. A fucked up grade, messing something up, and that one time I accidentally knocked up one of his vases in the living room because I was playing chase with my younger brother. God, I remember how parts of my body stars bleeding because of how hard he hits me with that goddamn belt." Jisung laugs at himself. "So me being tired with all the bruises I have to hide because of school. I thought, why not put an end to this suffering? So I attempted, but then failed because Hyunjin caught me right away. My mom went crazy! She threw me in a mental hospital and forced me to drink tons of pills to “cure me”. So I-... Hyung?!" Jisung's eyes widen when he looked at Leeknow.

He sees Leeknow looking at him with so much sympathy. Tears streaming down his face upon hearing what Jisung had to go through.

"Hyung, what's wrong? Why are you crying?!" Jisung panicked.

"You're really asking me that?" Leeknow sobbed, "I'm so sorry, Jisung. I'm so sorry you had to experience all that, you didn't deserve any of that." Leeknow hugged the younger, holding him close.

"Hyung.. it's okay. I'm okay now!" Jisung chuckled, feeling warm seeing how Leeknow genuinely cared for him.

"Are you sure?" Leeknow looked at the younger.

"I'm sure." Jisung smiled. He cupped Leeknow's cheek, wiping his tears with his thumb. "Or maybe not. Because if I hadn't took a pill earlier, I'm probably having a panic attack right now."

"What pill?"

"Benzodiazepines."

Leeknow's eyes widen. "Isn't that a drug?!"

"Yeah.. I'm actually really dizzy this whole time."

Leeknow held both of Jisung's shoulder. "Why did you decided to go out after taking a pill? Oh my god, Jisung."

"I'm finee~ don't be dramatic. I'm used to taking it, hell I was taking it since I was a child!" Jisung laughed.

"Children aren't supposed to take those.." Leeknow looked at the younger in disbelief, he can't believe what he's hearing. "Get up. I'm going to take you home."

"What? No! What about the view? It's really pretty here though." Jisung whined.

"We can go back here again next time, okay? Now, come on." Leeknow stood up, pulling Jisung to stand up.

"Promise?"

"I promise, Hannie." Leeknow kisses Jisung's forehead. "Now, hold onto me. We're gonna walk to my car."
