A Sick Fairytale ∥ H.JS - Minho 【Stray Kids】

16. 「HIDDEN」

Jisung approached me with so many emotions evident on his face that it's too much

"Jisung...?"

I mumbled with all my strength left

When those words slipped out

His face showed relieve and pain

"Yes, I'm here. It's going to be okay now,"

Was what he said in return

He pulled me into his embrace

I was shocked

This is probably the most affection I've ever had in my life

Or at least the life I remember

This all felt surreal

Why was he here?

Why is he comforting me?

I don't know

But what I do know

Is that I'm glad

I'm happy that Jisung's here

I guess I got a bit overwhelmed as more tears rolled down my cheeks

"It's okay now, Minho. You can cry all you want. I'll get you out of here,"

He comforted me

He kept on comforting me

Who knew this is all I ever wanted

He kissed my head and kept me close

His warmth is so comforting

He keeps me close and I feel hidden

I feel like I can do whatever I want without having to be judged

And so with my hands around his waist I gripped onto his shirt tightly

Please keep me close

"I have to get you out of here,"

Jisung said and pulled back

He seemed determined as he gently wiped my tears away with the sleeve of his shirt

"You have to pack your things. I'm not leaving you here with that bastard."

Now the bastard was the father

Changing roles now

I nodded

I don't want to be here anymore

Please hide me forever

Jisung stood up and I wanted to follow suit but my side hurt too much to do so

Once again

Anger filled Jisung's eyes

And then they softened again as he approached me and supported me towards the bed

He stood in front of my rundown closed and asked what I wanted him to pack

Is that really a thing I should worry about at the moment?

"Anything,"

I mumbled in the end

I didn't notice Jisung being done with packing

Until he kneeled in front of me

I stared into his black orbs

This shouldn't be happening

I don't deserve to be saved

Or to be happy

"I don't know if this is right, Jisung,"

I mumbled, unsure of pretty much everything surrounding me

He once again surprised me by putting his hands on both of my cheeks

The pain made me wince

But his touch was addicting

And I quickly grew fond of the warmth emitting from his hands

He then kissed my forehead

What is happening?

That's not a normal thing to do, right?

"Anything is more right than staying here with that poor excuse of a father."

Jisung's words surprised me

Maybe I should follow along

I don't know what awaits me

But he's right

So I gave him a small smile

He helped me up again and I tried to walk

I felt like he might come again and beat Jisung up this time

That's what happens to people who try to help right?

But the apartment was silent

Was he asleep?

I don't know

All I knew is that Jisung's taking me to a better place for now
