Chapter 19: a story to tell

“uh, soonyoung, are you sure about what you’re do-“

“shh, you’re gonna ruin thy masterpiece.”

It’s the night after the incident. We’re currently inside my wide, beige room. ‘we’ as in I’m with soonyoung.

Right after I woke up at the library, soonyoung suddenly popped out out of god knows where and exclaimed,

“Jihee! I saw this youtube video about nail polish! I was about to do it to my nails but I realized that it would be weird so you should be honoured because I’ll be painting your nails!”

“but-“

“no but’s. imagine rejecting an offer from the one and only hosh.”

“touché”

I said when I realized there is no point to be in an argument with soonyoung. Especially when all eyes were on us in the library. But instead of judging faces, soonyoung was given plenty of swooning eyes. Ofc, it’s him, who wouldn’t swoon?

Now he’s here, holding a nail polish brush with a plenty amount of pastel pink polish in between his thumb and index finger with his pinky sticking out. he's squinting his left eye and is sticking out his toung onto the corner of his lips as he's concentrating to whatever he's doing.

“I never saw you this concentrated.”

He slightly bent his head,

“me neither.”

“so Jihee, how's school?”

I gave him a questioning look since I've never heard him being this interested in someone else's life

“uh.. school's.. average I guess? I don't know, people used to notice me ever since I did..it.”

“mhmm"

A silence took over us when soonyoung started painting my ring finger.

“so, uh, Jihee, do you miss your family? Or atleast Jimin?”

A soft thumping feeling surrounded my heart for his sudden remarks.

“uh, yeah.. I guess I do. Sorta. it's just.. I'm not used to being away from home. You know. But fortunately, I'm slowly adjusting. Yeah..”

He softly sighed and looked at me

“I'm sorry if you're caught up in this mess, but please do know that this is for your own good.”

I nodded.

“how ‘bout you hosh, I've never seen your family before.. and also, I've been curious about your scar on your arm.”

I noticed how he's slightly taken aback

“i.. I don't have a family, Jihee.”

I looked at him with a worrying and a hint of questioning face.

What does he mean?

Soonyoung, finished my right hand and is now proceeding to my other hand

“what do you mean?”

He sighed

“I don't think you will want to hear this. I mean it's pretty dark.”
