Eyes closed- Minsung

2: Rumor

Jisung was never a very good kid, even when he was younger. Disrespecting authority figures such as his parents or teachers, generally just breaking rules, and even landing himself in juvie once.

But his highest priority would absolutely never be fixing that.

Sure, authority figures hated him, but since when had he ever cared about that?

People would make rumors about what got him into jail as he never really went into details about why he did. They speculated that he dealt drugs, used drugs, probably more that Jisung hadn't heard of. Jisung had to laugh at it.

No one knew why he went to juvie, except for his few friends, of course.

Regardless, rumors were completely normal in high school.

Did they bother him? Well...Jisung was only human. He couldn't be unbothered by everything. That being said, he had gotten used to it and it was none of his peers business.

He wasn't sure if he could handle any other rumors coming along with the current ones though. He hated how he was stared at everywhere he went.

He hated how he could see people's judgement.

He hated how he could hear the whispers.

He hated how he could taste the disgust of everyone watching him.

He hated how he could smell the scent of...was it fear or hatred from the crowd? Perhaps a mix of both.

But most of all, he hated how he could feel the atmosphere changing when he walked into a room.

The one thing about it that was a positive was him getting mostly avoided, as he enjoyed not talking to many and only being around his 3 friends who just so happened to be very similar to him in that regard. Well, more or less...

"Jisung, I'm gonna kill myself in the next hour if he doesn't talk to me" Felix said, dramatically.

"You need more self-respect" Jisung chuckled lowly, looking at Felix.

"I don't need self-respect, I need Seo Changbin" Felix rolled his eyes. "You can have both" Hyunjin said.

"Maybe you can get therapy too" Jeongin suggested bluntly.

"Maybe we can get high and-" "You don't get high just because you can" Jeongin interrupted, making Jisung pout.

"You can just talk to him yourself" Hyunjin said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Hyunjin was sat next to Felix on the bed whilst Jisung was sitting on the chair of Felix's desk, which left Jeongin laying down on the bed and resting his head on Hyunjin and Felix's laps.

"I've been giving him all these signs and he's not getting the hint? That means he doesn't like me" Felix groaned, eyes rolling back.

"Saying hi to him in the hallway is not a sign" Jeongin said. "You do that to everybody anyway" He continued.

"Well yeah, but I don't like them so it's different!" He replied, pouting.

"Well, how would he know that?" Jisung asked.

"It's the vibe" Felix claimed, scrunching his face. "And that's why you're single" Hyunjin smiled sarcastically.

Felix sighed, defeated. "This sucks. Why doesn't he know about vibes? Why do I have to make the first move?"

"Because he's dense and dense people don't get vibes" Jeongin stated.

"Vibes aren't your specialty either" Felix retorted, laughing as he was seemingly satisfied with his mediocre reply, pinching Jeongin's cheeks. "Where was the joke?" Jeongin asked rhetorically with a straight face, looking up at Felix.
