it had been a few weeks, and jaeyoon was finally getting healthier. inseong was so relieved when he was able to have a stable conversation with jaeyoon without hearing coughs in between every sentence.
and every day, the two started liking each other even more than they day when they confessed to each other. inseong finally felt like he found someone he could trust.
"hey, jaeyoon?" inseong called out
"yeah?" jaeyoon replied
"do you want to know why they call me a monster?" inseong asked, his voice shaking a little bit.
"only if you want to." jaeyoon answered, since he could tell how nervous inseong sounded.
"you know how hybrids are treated these days, right? i'm already an outcast enough, being a hybrid myself.. and back where i lived, conditions for hybrids were terrible,"
inseong took a breath and continued, "people always threatened to cut off my ears of tail, but they never did. but i was hurt so badly, mentally for the most part.."
"things went even further down hill when i did something.. that i really regret. when you're already not accepted as you are, but then you kill a human.. they start beating you even worse, calling you a fucking monster.."
inseong paused for a bit, but couldn't control himself when he brought up the memories, and began to cry his heart out.
"don't cry, inseong.." jaeyoon said as he got down from his bed and laid down next to it, so he was somewhat at the same level as inseong.
"i'm sorry, i shouldn't be telling you this.. it isn't your problem." inseong apologized
"inseong, it doesn't matter who was involved or what happened. don't think of yourself as a monster.. because to me, you're an angel." jaeyoon said as he grasped inseong's hand under the bed.
"thank you, jaeyoon"
"for what?"
"love."
