STRANGER || Chanjin

Chapter 8.

Chan's Pov

I'm getting a bad feeling about this...Usually, mom and dad don't have anything to say to me. I'm finally starting to get worried. Thoughts were filling up my head as I walked home...I finally got in front of the house. I took a deep breath before walking in.

"Mom?"

I closed the door and in a few seconds, mom ran to me and hugged me tightly. I didn't know how to react so I just stood there like an idiot.

"I'm so sorry...I'm a bad person...It's my fault isn't it..?" Mom is..crying? What is going on?

"What are you talking about?" I asked and pushed her away so I could look into her eyes. She wouldn't look me into my eyes.

"Your father is..dead..."

At that moment everything darkened. It was a shock. Even though I've said bad things about my parents...I still love them...I could feel my tears flowing down and mom hugged me again.

"H-how..?"

"I-I woke up to something loud and w-when I got up to look around the house and finally found him... "

Mom tried to wipe away her tears and took a deep breath before continuing.

"H-he was laying on the floor...c-covered in blood...a gun i-in his hand.."

"He s-shot himself" I said and finally hugged her back...

We spent a few minutes just crying...while I was rubbing my mom's back, I knew this was going to change our life...

Hyunjin's Pov

It's 6:28 pm right now. Being alone at home is actually quite nice. My own safe place where no one bullies me heh...

I was drinking coffee in my bed while watching some videos once again because I don't have a life. I was startled by a loud noise suddenly. Thunder? I walked towards the window. It's raining...

I decided to go and turn the lights off. While I was doing that I heard a doorbell ring. I walked downstairs and opened the door. My eyes widen as I realise who it is.

"Chan?" I asked and pulled him inside.

His clothes were drenched and there was water dripping down from his hair. I need to get him a towel... I thought and walked into the bathroom. I looked through the shelves until I found a pure white towel.

Chan was still standing in front of the door, looking at the ground when I came back. What is wrong with him...?

"Y-You should take a shower so u won't get sick"

Chan took the towel from my hand and walked to the bathroom without saying anything. I decided to go and take some food for him.

I sat on my bed and waited...It felt like an eternity.

"Sorry for coming without saying anything.." Chan said as he walked in and sat next to me.

"It's okay I'm just a bit surprised..anyways...did something happen?"

After that sentence, Chan took a deep breath before saying anything...

"My.... d-dad committed s-suicide"

He did what?! I knew his parents were alcoholics but suicide is a bit too much..I thought without saying anything. I looked at Chan again and noticed that he was crying...this is the second time I'm seeing him cry...

I start to panic a little bit because I don't really know what to do. I just decided to hug him. If I'm honest I've hugged this guy way too many times but I can't think about anything that would help at this point.

"I-It's gonna be okay.." I said even though I knew very well that it's not going to help.

Third person's Pov

They were hugging each other for a  while. Hyunjin felt Chan's arms tightening around him. Chan was broken...and for the first time Hyunjin  felt like he was helping someone...

Hey hey...I'm here again. I'm kinda stuck with this story. I don't know why I  did this  to  Chan  and this chapter was a bit random but we'll  see what's going to happen haha..
