Life Was Colorless, Until You Came

9# Isn't It That Obvious?

"Soobin! Remember that I told you to not hurt Taehyun again?? Sometimes, you have to learn to control your anger. You can't just punch someone when you're really mad. Don't think that I'm telling you all this because Taehyun is my boyfriend, even if you hit someone that I don't even know, I would still tell you this." Liwoun noticed that Soobin wasn't even listening, he just kept looking anywhere but Liwoun. "Soobin... Choi Soobin! Are you listening?" — "Yes..." The both of them talked while Taehyun was just sitting in the corner holding a tissue to prevent his nose from bleeding again. "Look, your knuckles even got bruised because of Taehyun's cheekbone." Soobin didn't even realize it, he looked at his hand. He just ignored it like it was just some dirt that got on his hand. "Look, there's a bruise in every single knuckle in your hand. That's proof that you punch people often..."

Liwoun grabbed Soobin's hand and sprayed alcohol like it was nothing. Soobin really felt that pain down his spine. "That's all I have cause the nurse gave nothing to me. But I hope that makes you feel better." — "it's making me feel worse." Taehyun was awestruck seeing his friend behave like a child. It's like he turned into a whole new different person. "You saw that you have bruises on your hand, why didn't you treat them?"

"He was scared to put anything on the bruises cause he was thinking that it would hurt!!-"

"Shut up, Taehyun!!!"

"Oh..."

"Well... That's nothing to be ashamed of, everyone feels a little pain. It's not like I'm gonna make fun of you for it." Soobin wanted to crawl away now that Taehyun told Liwoun his most embarrassing secret. Considering the fact that he's eighteen years old, he feels pain like a five year old. He was acting like he was getting surgery on his stomach without anesthesia when something finally touched his bruises. "It hurts, doesn't it?... Do you want me to put more?" Soobin's expression changed, he looked disgusted. "Don't worry, I'm just joking."

Liwoun grabbed something from the pocket of her blazer, it turned out to be a roll of bandage. "Your lucky I have this with me." She grabbed his hand and rolled the bandage on both of his hands so the bruise won't get any worse. "That's much better. Here, I'll give you this." She handed him the bandage and he wasn't sure if he would take it. But Liwoun didn't want to waste time so she just placed it on his palm herself. "You can use the bandage if you get more bruises like the ones on your hand. But I don't want to find out that you punched another person, okay?" Soobin was out of words, he just sat there in silence looking at the bandage that she gave him. Liwoun moved onto Taehyun and made sure that he was okay. "Do you feel better?" — "yeah, the bleeding stopped. But I feel like my nose is broken." Liwoun took a look at his nose and it didn't seem deformed or broken. "Don't worry, it's not broken. Just make sure you take a rest when you go home cause you've been hit enough today." As she took care of Taehyun, Soobin looked at her rethinking all of the things that she just did to him. Even though he was quietly sitting, he had a lot going on his head.

"That bastard... Acting like my mother." — "isn't she taking care of you better than your mother, though?" Soobin looked at Taehyun with pure annoyance.

"My bad..."

"But, why are you so annoyed? I already told you she's THAT caring, this is the first time someone ever treated you like that. Atleast she didn't laugh at you when I told her your most 'embarrassing' secret." Soobin wanted to punch Taehyun so bad knowing that he was in a relationship with Liwoun. I want to punch this asshole so bad... That's what his thoughts were, but he had to stop himself from punching Taehyun again because of what Liwoun told him. Soobin just decided to stay quiet and mind his own business. But, that wasn't his biggest secret yet. There's still more.

-

"Soobin, there you are. I've been looking for you." Liwoun sat beside him, Soobin wasn't doing anything at all. He wasn't taking a pictures outside for the first time, he was just talking to himself in his mind. "Liwoun..." She gave him a smile and looked like that she was glad to see him or Soobin was just assuming that?... "Are you feeling better, Soobin?" — "yeah..."

"Im glad to hear that." Liwoun noticed the slightly annoyed look on Soobin's face, she didn't know exactly why he looked annoyed. "Is there anything wrong, Soobin?" — "Why do you even care about me, Liwoun?" She didn't exactly know how to answer that question of his, she was confused why would he even ask that to her. "Why do you still talk to me even though you always see that I'm avoiding you? Doesn't that make you think that I don't want to talk to you?" — "Soobin... Why are you asking all of this questions? Is there anything that I did that made you upset?" Liwoun was worried, she doesn't know what Soobin's problem was but she wanted to fix it as soon as possible. "Alot."

"I'm so sorry, Soobin. Maybe you could tell me what are those that I did and I could fix it for you-"

"Why haven't you noticed that I Love You?"

Liwoun was shocked, Soobin left her speechless. She didn't know what to do or say, she just sat there in shock. "Soobin..." — "do you know how hard it has been for me to try and hide my feelings for you? Especially with all that smiling you always give me when you see me."

Liwoun didn't know what to feel, but she definitely was not upset. "I-..." — "I've tried to act all mean towards you hoping that it would change something. But guess what? I just gaslighted myself."

"Soobin, are you... Serious?..."

"Do you think im joking?!?!!"

"No, well... Kinda."

Soobin stood up then walked out leaving Liwoun all by herself. "Wait! Soobin!-" She wanted to stand up and chase him but something was telling her to just sit the heck down and watch him walk out. Liwoun grabbed on her chest as she felt her heartbeat get faster. Liwoun had alot to say but she just kept it in her mind.

Gosh... I feel like my heart's about to explode.
