The tension in the air is quite thick and it gives me an uncomfortable feeling. I awkwardly clear my throat, earning his attention for a faint moment, but his gaze falls back to my wrist. I can see the worry in his eyes as he stares at the marks on my wrist.
Not wanting this situation to go on, I pull my arm back and push my sleeve over my wrist, hiding the marks.
Xiumin finally looks at me, his caramel brown orbs filled with worry. His eyes soften and lips part as if he wants to ask me what happened. I quickly put my headphones on, averting my attention to the computer screen.
But it's not long before he pulls the headphones down slowly from my ears.
"What happened to your wrist?" he asks.
Since when did he start worrying about me? We haven't spoken like friends since last year, because he replaced me with that other girl and threw our two year old friendship in the trash.
"Cat." I answer, always using my cat as an excuse whenever someone asked me about the cuts. Before he can say anything else, I pull my headphones back on and stare at the screen, trying to focus on the video its showing.
"Are you sure?" I can hear him ask through my headphones, the worry in his tone making me pull my headphones off.
"Yes."
"Are you really sure?" he asks, this time looking at me straight in the eye.
I look away from him and nod. "...Y-Yeah." I mentally curse myself for stuttering and hesitating to answer.
He seems like he didn't buy it, yet I'm glad he stops asking me questions. I put my headphones back on once again and pay attention to the video.
He does the same, yet his gaze often wonders back to me. I pretend not to notice, trying my best to focus on the video.
Eventually, it works.
