mend ➸ bae jinyoung

9.

the man who spoke out glared at you before continuing, "who is this jinyoung?"

he sighed before explaining, "she's a classmate."

"merely just a classmate? you don't like her do you? i don't need you to go around hurting more people. you hurting isabelle was enough," 

jinyoung sighed again, "i don't want to talk about that."

silence filled the air before the man spoke, "come in, have dinner with us."

you looked at jinyoung, asking him for his permission before he opened the door wider, signaling for you to enter. you took the seat beside the chair that jinyoung was sitting on just before you showed up. 

"i'm jinyoung's father, just in case you haven't figured out," he gave off a very cold aura, just like the aura jinyoung gave before you got to know him. but until now, jinyoung was still a little cold towards you but you knew he would open up if you continued trying.

silence filled the air once again.

"you're not dating him, are you? it'll be a bad mistake if you are actually dating him," jinyoung sighed for the nth time that evening.

"i'm not dating her, i won't hurt her even if i was. i didn't hurt my ex. you just believed all her lies that she told, not believing your own son," jinyoung argued.

"she was such an innocent lady, what harm could she have done? i don't understand why you can't admit to your mistakes and stop accusing her of doing something wrong," jinyoung's father placed his cutlery back onto the table, getting annoyed at jinyoung.

"and so what are you going to do if i do end up dating her?" jinyoung pointed at you, causing you to jump.

it was now jinyoung's father's turn to sigh.

"i know how to treat her well, i know how to stay by her side unlike what my ex did. i don't understand why you keep siding with her when she was the one spreading rumors. i didn't do anything wrong," jinyoung started tearing up. 

"prove it then, date her then, show me you can, let's see whether she will come crying to me after 2 months. jinyoung, don't force yourself into a relationship when you can't treat a girl properly," jinyoung's father said as he stood up and left the house. 

you continued sitting there, frozen as you were shocked.

"sorry," jinyoung said after a while.

"no, i'm sorry, i shouldn't have come," you apologized.

"it's fine, we were probably going to have that conversation anyway," he explained.

it was awkward and silent again before jinyoung said, "so about that dating thing?"

you snapped out of your revenue and looked at him, "oh, uh, you were probably joking right? you don't actually like me that way right?" 

he looked back at you, "uh yeh, i was just trying to tell him that i'm able to treat a girl well. sorry for bringing you into the picture."

"nah, it's fine," you weren't gonna lie, you did feel a bit disappointed but you didn't think twice about it because you only just met jinyoung recently, it's too soon to start dating him anyway. 

you looked around his apartment to see a box on his kitchen counter. 

"why did you come though?" he asked.

"oh, you didn't come to school today, so i thought you were still sick and i came over to visit you," 

he smiled, "thanks, but yeh i'm feeling better, thanks."

he got up from his seat and took the seat across you, "let's eat. we haven't eaten." 

the two of you still talked normally without the awkward atmosphere which you were grateful for. but right after dinner, jinyoung went back to his cold self again.

"you can go now, sorry again," he said before walking to the sink with dishes in his hands.

"okay," you placed a plastic bag full of snacks that you brought over on his kitchen counter and took a glance at that box again.

you observed that the box had the words 'happy birthday jinyoung' on it and you gasped upon looking at it.

"yes?" jinyoung asked, turning around.

"uh, nothing, i'll go now, are you coming to school tomorrow?"

"depends on my mood," 

"okay," and you quickly turned around and left his house. 

"no wonder his father came over today," you mumbled to yourself.

once you got home, you figured that jinyoung probably didn't enjoy his birthday today and you thought hard about what you could do for him tomorrow to make up for it.
