ep 3: recognizing✨

"Are you okay?"

His soft voice was so deep and caring. I don't know why I couldn't answer. It was better if he didn't know who I was, he'd be so disappointed.

"Think so.", I replied, staring at him for a moment. "Your nose is bleeding though, are you sure?", Minho was so considerate. He looked at my nose at a specific angle. "Yeah, it's not my first time bleeding from my nose.. I'm okay, stop asking.", I wanted to walk away from him, but I also wanted to stay.

"Sorry, it's just, I don't like hurting people", he nervously laughed, looking down at the ground. His hands buried in his pockets. "I can see that.", I scoffed in disbelief, the sarcastic tone in my voice clearly visible.

"Well, I should get going. I hope your nose gets better!", Minho continued jogging before the sky got even more pitch black. I had so many questions, for myself and for Minho. Who jogs at night?, Why couldn't I talk nicely to him?, and why didn't I bring up us knowing each other?

It could've been really easy. All I had to say was "Hey Minho, it's Taemin! Don't you remember me?". That's it.

I can't bring myself to him and I don't know why. I want to know him again. He changed so much, it could be for the better or for the worse. It made me happy that he was still doing healthy.

"Hey Taemin, change of plans. Look up for fucks sake.", a bitter and mischievous voice interrupted me. "You see that pair over there? We heard they have a shit ton of money, so I made up my mind and we're assaulting them.", he pointed to what happened to seemed a 'happy' pair.

"You're doing it again."

It's always me. I always have to do these things instead of them. They always drag me into trouble but I can't seem to stop if it feels good at the same damn time.

I sneaked up at the pair and took my gun out, popping in front of them. One of the men seemed awfully stylish that it hurt my eyes and the other one was chubby.

"Give me your wallet, jackass-"

My face felt swelled up as I fell to the concrete ground. Yep you guessed it, the chubby guy attacked me. I thought he would be weak, but did I think wrong. I didn't even know what the hell was happening at this moment.

"Get the fuck off of me!", I yelled at him, trying to shove him off. His grip on my arm got tighter and tighter, I felt my arm swelling up like my face. "Jonghyun, don't hurt the guy!", the other dude that walked with the chubby guy had said.

That must be his name.

Jonghyun let go of me and got up. "Let's just leave him here, okay?", the overly styled man said as he walked away with the chubby Jonghyun.

How could they just leave someone like that?

I mean, I don't blame them. If someone tried to assault me, I'd do the same.

I walked back to the group as they laughed at me. I felt awfully embarrassed.

I'll find him again and they'll know what it's like.

but jokes on me,

I never saw him again.
