Scarlet Shadows || Kaisoo

Chapter 19 | Hiding¿

His eyes fluttered open, and he tried to sit up.
"Ky-Kyungsoo, I-"
"Lie back down, Jongin, please." I said with severity that I kind of regretted right after the words left my mouth. His face shrunk like a child who's chocolate had been snatched away wow you're a horrible person, Kyungsoo.
I sat by the windowsill, reading Sense and Sensibility, but in actual sense, my mind was thinking through a hundred things. I really wanted to change, I want to protect him, and you know stand up against anyone who'd hurt him, when I'm sure he'd do the same for me. But I'm so scared, so scared beyond understanding. I've always been the outcast, or the kid who doesn't want to get into any trouble so he was gradually pushed out, let's put it that way. I've never meddled with people, especially not scary villians and all, I mean, look at me, I wouldn't move a bone even If I wanted to. And the very thought of me doing anything to protect Jongin is kinda funny if you come to think of it. I mean, imagine him standing behind me and hiding away when I'm fighting someone,,, so not happening.
But then again, why can't I protect him? Maybe I don't have the musculature but I sure have a good(for nothing) mouth. Charmspeak would be too good a word but true, I can confuse people to a point where they forget who they are. So why can't I use that? *

"Kyungsoo, Kyungsoo!" Jongin called out, breaking me from my delusion.
"Yes?" I looked up at him.
"Can you please sit next to me?" He looked at me, quite forlornly.
I sat next to him and ruffled his hair, "Is there something bothering you?"
"Yes." He replied, quickly.
"What is it?"
"You. Your scrunched up face. What happened to you?" He probed.
I tried to hide my small smile, "Nothing, why?"
He frowned, "It's because of what I told you last night, isn't it?" He coughed, and continued,"I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry, it's not your fault Jongin." I gave him a small smile. "I can't have you sick, okay? Rest a lot please? I'll be back soon and I'll send Krys here to look out for you, okay?"
He gave me a nod and I left for school.

Right from the day we started dating, I've been confused. Honestly, I thought yesterday would clear up a whole lot of things on my mind but all they did was increase my confusion more. I have no idea as to what to believe and what not to believe and the best thing I can do now, is confront Sehun. Why has he been so nice to me? What does he want from me? What the fuck does the shit he blabbered last night mean? What are his motives? What was Jongin to him? I have so many questions that he's going to answer.

"Have you seen Sehun?" I asked Baekhyun, who was very busy PDA-ing with Chanyeol (when did this happen, again?)
"Not really he hasn't been around?" He said.
Chanyeol broke away from him, "I saw him today morning, like super early morning in school, he was in some place super dark near the gym, but there was a strange light coming out in front of him, but I couldn't see what it was and wasn't really bothered so I left."
"Why were you there so early in the morning---" Baekhyun started barking.

What was he doing there all alone? What is it about the light? My mind probed as I stood dejected under the sun. There's not a trace of him anywhere---Jongin!

I ran upto room. 666 so fast that I would've fainted in another minute.*
I almost fell inside when I noticed Sehun sitting in the chair I was sitting on earlier today. The aura in the room was different, the air felt heavier than usual, my breath was speeding and I could sweat dribbling down my brows. Jongin was sitting up, and he looked uncomfortable. But he wasn't looking at Sehun, he was looking, no, staring at me. Sehun didn't have that usual asshole smirk on his face, but his eyes were soft, almost vulnerable, in a stark contrast to how Jongin looked- overconfident and rude and very headass.
Something has happened here, then.
I walked upto Sehun, "I need to talk to you."
He stood up and walked out, almost ready to talk to me. He obliged? Without any of his usual clapbacks? Sketchy.
"Jongin are you okay?" I asked.
He just nodded and gave me a very weird smile that I've never seen painted across his face before.
Sketchy.
Sehun was waiting outside the door, his back against the wall.
"Why are you here?" I went straight to the point.
He hesitated, unlike how he usually talks. "I came, because, because well, I wanted to talk to Jongin."
I lifted an eyebrow, "Okay what do you want from him? Or me? Why were you nice to me, just to be the asshole you are being to me?" I kept shooting questions at him like pellets.
He took a deep breath, he looked very uncomfortable. Sehun looked very unlike Sehun. All that confidence was replaced by uneasiness, almost by fear? Intimidation?
"I-, I wasn't nice to you anyday.. I don't want anything from you." He gulped.
Wow everything looks so sketchy I think I'm just going to die in a ditch.
"So you want something from Jongin?"
He hesitated again, but this time a bit more confidently, "Yes."
"What do you want from him? I'll try to help you" I tried my way.
"It's, It's nothing you can do." He shut me up and stormed off.
Wow, Jerk Sehun and nothing else. *
~
I ran back inside to find Jongin staring into space. I sat next to him and asked him, quite a lot of times if he's okay and he just nodded everytime.
My thumb grazed his cheek, and he flinched, almost like he didn't want me touching him. My face fell and he immediately noticed it and gave me a small smile.
So he felt uncomfortable?
Or maybe it's because of something Sehun said?

I got up to leave, but he grabbed my wrist quite violently that I whimpered.
"Kyungsoo?"
