just for you ➵ jicheol

fourty-five

jihoon is sitting in the living room cleaning his wounds, 'he was annoyed by my existence from the start,' he mumbles quietly to himself, 'i thought he would be all bark and no bite.'

jihoon hisses in pain as he continues to clean his wound. he wants to call seungcheol and tell him everything. but he's scared of him. jeonghan. who knows what he's going to be doing next if seungcheol finds out? jihoon cringes again at the thought of those 'toys' on the table.

ding~ dong~

the doorbell rings. 'wait a minute,' jihoon yells before sprinting off to his room to get a sweater. he silently hopes the person at the door isn't the one he's thinking of.

'is he not in there?' seungcheol paces back and forth, getting more worried as time passes.

he was deciding on whether to barge in before the door slowly creaks open. the first thing that seungcheol does when he sees the younger is to pull him into an embrace. but it didn't last for long as jihoon slowly pulls away.

'hey,' jihoon says gives him a small smile before inviting him inside the house.

seungcheol was going to question jihoon about why he did not answer his calls or where he went earlier today, but seeing jihoon acting a little off today he decides to not bother with it. like seungkwan said, maybe he really fell asleep when i was trying to call?

'uhhh...' they entered the living room and jihoon mentally facepalms himself.

scattered on the floor was ointments, painkillers, gauze dressings, and plasters. jihoon was in such a hurry to cover up his body just now that he has forgotten about them.

'are you hurt anywhere jihoon?' seungcheol asks, his face filled with worry.

'oh uhh it's nothing,' jihoon laughs awkwardly while trying to drag seungcheol to another room, 'i was just organizing and checking if there's anything missing for you know... emergencies.' wow great lie jihoon, he's not going to believe it.

seungcheol does not want to doubt jihoon, but he wants to make sure the younger is okay. he pulls jihoon's hand away and walks closer to the pile of things. blood. he sees blood on the gauze dressing. he furrows his eyebrows and picks it up, there's no way these are not from today.

jihoon grabs the gauze from seungcheol, 'let's just go to my room, these are old, i told you i was organising.'

'do not lie to me jihoon!' seungcheol raises his voice. he doesn't know why the younger needs to hide anything from him.

'i'm not!'

seungcheol points at the gauze while glaring at jihoon, 'the blood is not brown, it's clearly not old. you can't lie to me about that.'

'why do you even care,' jihoon says in a hushed tone. seungcheol heard him.

'excuse me? you're my boyfriend jihoon, of course i care about you!' seungcheol raises his voice even more, startling jihoon. he has never seen seungcheol so mad before.

'well, don't!' all of a sudden tears escape from jihoon's eye. he knows he should not be acting like this to seungcheol. he doesn't want to but, he's really scared.

seungcheol stands there watching jihoon breakdown. his heart tells him that he needs to give jihoon a hug, but his angry mind tells him to walk away. he lets his mind win and leaves jihoon in the living room. their shoulders brushed slightly before he walks out of the front door, slamming the door in the process.
