jeongin.

jisung went back to the living room. the younger was seated on the sofa, on the same spot he's always been. jisung sat on the seat across from him, and smiled at him, which the younger returned.

"where's hyunjin ?"

"he's really tired, so he's going to sleep."

jeongin nodded. "okay."

"did you eat, jeongin ?" jisung asked, and jeongin shook his head. "aren't you hungry ?"

jeongin shrugged. "kinda, but it's bearable."

"what are you saying, you should eat something. you need it, to recover faster."

"hyunjin didn't eat either, we can eat all together tomorrow."

jisung smiled, then got up. "come with me."

jeongin tilted his head to the side. "where ?"

"i'll take you somewhere to eat. i didn't eat either, and i'm kinda hungry."

jeongin sighed, but got up anyway. he thought that he didn't have the right to keep jisung from eating.

"fine, then. but where ?"

"i know a place, not too far from here. it's small, but it makes a lot of stuffs, actually."

"it's okay for me."

they exited hyunjin's small, but warm house, and started walking, in silence.

"tell me, jeongin." jisung started.

"mhm ?"

"doesn't your wound hurt ? the one on your stomach. hyunjin told me it needed sewings, but you seem fine."

jeongin cleared his throat, then shrugged. "yeah, i'm fine. maybe hyunjin didn't judge it well. he was probably a bit freaked out, so it's possible."

jisung thought about it for a few seconds. it was logical.

"i guess you're right."

jeongin nodded, but didn't add anything. though the silence was bothering him. he felt that jisung wanted to talk, and the boy seemed far from being shy or anything, but something was blocking him to act naturally, in front of jeongin.

"it's your turn to tell me." the younger then said.

"what ?" jisung turned his head toward him.

"why do hyunjin always seems so sad ?"

"he just... he had a tough life, until now."

"could i ask for details, or ?"

"you know, i'd like to tell you, but i think that it's not my place to tell."

"oh, yeah, you're right. i'd like to get to know him better."

jisung smirked. "ah, yeah ? what do you think of hyunjin ? do you like him ?"

"like him ?" jeongin blushed. "i mean, not in a crush-like, but like the way you'd appreciate someone platonically."

"you didn't tell me what you think about him ?"

"he... he seems really kind, and... i don't know, he just has something that makes you want to get to know him."

"i feel like you two will end up falling in love with each other."

jeongin blushed, though he scoffed. "impossible."

"why not ? you never know."

"il this case, i know."
