Renjun

Requested by: @hajirahssk

"I may or may not hate you, but loving you is easier than that"

"hey! give it back!" you shouted as you jumped, trying to reach for the bag that was being dangled in a teasing motion above you. dangled by none other than Huang Renjun.

he was known as the popular one in school, the one that gets all the girls to swoon for him, the one that gets invited to all the parties,

and the one who's torturing your life right here right now.

"alright, alright I'll give it back... only," a smirk started to form,"only, if you let me copy your homework" he bargained.

"HELL NO YOU ASSHOLE, NOW GIVE ME MY BAG!" you jumped one more time, your hand slightly caressing the fabric. right before you watched in horror as renjun tossed it towards a branch.

nobody can get it now.

Renjun stared at you with a satisfied smirk while you stared up towards your bag, eyes stinging as you held back your tears.

then you turned your head to glare at him. cursing at him endlessly inside your head.

still smirking, he turned around and walked back towards his group of friends who were obviously laughing and congratulating him in the background.

a tear dropped down and hit your shoe.

. ° • .° •

the sound of stomping could be heard as a sad and angry girl walked down the pavement in a cold breezy evening.

the girl being none other than you.

you kicked every bottle, stone, and litter in your way to let every little bit of your anger out with tear stained cheeks while shivering yet sniffing at the feel of the sudden wind touching your skin.

you were lucky enough to retrieve your bag after several attempts, injuring both your feet and hand.

you never understand why out of everybody, you were the one that's constantly being picked on by renjun. either filling your locker with crumpled paper balls, sticking gum to your seat every time in biology, and his absolute favorite,

hanging your poor bag to a tree branch.

you didn't have friends like the rest of the kids. always sitting alone in the bleachers eating a plain ham sandwich every lunch.

so why you?

you were too lost in your thought as you didn't realize that you've walked right into an empty alleyway.

"can you guys stop it, I don't wanna do this anymore"

you stopped walking at the familiar voice. curious, you hid in the corner and let your head peek out, seeing renjun along with his so called 'friends'.

"aww I see someone is getting soft, aren't you renjun?" the teasing voice of one of the boys filled with pure mockery.

"I'm not!" renjun denied, eyes filling with annoyance.

"oh come on, your just like that weak mom of yours. way too kind, isn't that why she d-"

a punch was heard along with a few muffled cries.

"never speak of my mom that way, and I'm cutting of the deal" renjun hissed. he started to walk out when one of the boys grabbed his collar and gave a punch,

then a kick

then another punch.

your eyes widened and started running towards the group that's cornering the now bleeding boy.

"stop!"

the boys stopped and looked at you, renjun flickered his eyes to your face and furrowed his brows weakly.

what are you doing here?

"oh look who decided to show up?" stated the boy. his eyes showing a hint of amusement.

"let him go jaewon" you ordered.

"and why should I do that?" he asked, stepping closer with a fake pout, "don't you hate him?"

He came face to face with you, your face unfazed at the close distance.

"sure I hate him," you started. Renjuns face showing guilt as you did,

"but I hate you more"

You kicked him in between the knees and walked over to the renjun, the boys who were earlier surrounding him began to hold on to jaewon as he growned in pain.

You lifted renjun up, his face looking at yours with disbelief.

"what are you doing" he mumbled, His voice soft and weak. You looked towards him and rolled your eyes.

"saving your ass. That's what i'm doing" you replied. you carried him all the way towards the road to your apartment.

You keep on a straight face as you carried him on your back. The cold being the only distraction from the killing weight behind you.

You were too immeresed with the temperature that you didn't notice the two eyes that were focusing on you.

Renjun stared at you as he rested his head on your shoulders, looking at you as if you were an angel who fell from the heavens.

His heart started to clench as he remembered the tears that fell from your (e/c) eyes as you stared at your bag which were slightly swaying from the wind above you.

How he wished he could tell you that he didn't mean to do all those things he had done to you through out the year,

But he couldn't.

You dipped the cotton bud into the cold alcohol and dabbed it lightly on the scars in his face, renjun's body feeling paralyzed as he watched your features up close.

"I'm so sorry" he whispered, tears falling and carressing his rosy cheeks.

You carefully placed down the cotton bud and hugged him, rubbing soothing circles around his back as he clinged on to you tighter.

"I wanted to stop but they wouldn't let me" he sobbed. Tears staining your clothes as he continued to cry on your shoulders.

You continued to craddle him in your arms for a few hours until you can hear his soft snores.

His eyes closed and lips in a slight pout.

Threading your fingers through his soft raven hair, you smiled.

"I may or may not hate you, but loving you is easier than that" you whispered, not knowing that renjun was smiling as he heard you.

*Timeskip*

The doorbell of your small apartment rang, signalling that someone's at the door.

You rushed towards the door and opened it, already knowing who's on the other side. a smiling and cheerful face holding a box of donuts filled your vision,

A sight you craved for every single day.

He immidiately engulfed you in a hug. Being very carefull since he doesnt want to squish the donuts.
