Lost and Found || JINHWI

12

Jinyoung grabbed his ankle and saved themselves from the fall. They hung over the edge as Jinyoung tries to use his strength on one arm to pull them back up. He slowly climbed down but then taking a safe drop against the trash bags. Daehwi rolled over to his side before crawling against the wall of the building. Jinyoung stretches his arms and back before glancing at Daehwi.

"Come, you're not going anywhere when I'm with you. Plus, you're not going back to your father."

Jinyoung reaches out to Daehwi and waited for him to take his hand. Daehwi sat there against the walls not wanting to move or follow.

"Let me be.."

He said slowly as Jinyoung's hand drop back to his side.

"Listen, whether I let you stay or not, I'm not letting people stare at you weirdly while you stink from that trash we fall in."

Jinyoung partially shouts as Daehwi only looked at him with a blank expression. Jinyoung approached him again and picked him up forcefully placing him on his shoulder. Daehwi didn't fight back, even if he did, he wouldn't be freed. The travel back to Jinyoung's house was quiet, no one uttered a word. Jinyoung kept his shoes outside as they arrived at the front door.

"Do you want to keep your shoes on or take them off?"

"Off.."

Daehwi said quietly, Jinyoung guessed and proceeds to take the shoes off of Daehwi's feet carefully. He spot the scar where the stitches were on his foot. He checked it carefully before Daehwi's foot twitched.

"Tickles?"

"N-No."

"Tsk, lets get washed then shall we?"

Daehwi nodded against Jinyoung's back, the movement continues as the door opens and closed in front of him. Jinyoung walked up to the restroom near his bedroom, how thankful he was to being able be so clean anywhere he goes. He grabbed few rolls of towels and set them aside before sitting Daehwi down on a stool. Jinyoung lowered himself in front of Daehwi then reached over to his shirt. Daehwi noticed it and moved back resulting him to fall off the stool.

"Ah, Daehwi-ah! Are you okay?!"

"Oww.. what do you think you're doing?!"

"What?"

"Don't help when it comes to this!"

Daehwi exclaimed as he covered his chest and neck with both of his arms. Jinyoung sighs then rolled his eyes before helping Daehwi back on the stool.

"Alright, go ahead."

"What?"

"You don't need my help so do that on your own."

Jinyoung said as he stood up and went to turn on the water to let the shower run. Actually not a shower, the bathtub. Jinyoung turned to look at Daehwi and still see the clothes on him still.

"Don't worry aish, I got plenty of clothes, I can get your clothes washed up of you do this."

Jinyoung purposed hoping Daehwi would actually listen and do it. Daehwi shook his head, Jinyoung sighs heavily then approached the younger.

"Relax, I won't do anything to you. You can trust me on this."

Jinyoung said sharing a small smile thinking it would persuade him. As Daehwi's arm dropped, staring out of space, Jinyoung took the time and hurried as he removed the shirt. Afterwards, he received a painful slap from Daehwi who is now covering his chest.

"Go! Go outside if you're not removing your clothes!"

Daehwi shouts as backing away from Jinyoung, who was rubbing his cheek after the slap.

"Yah! Do I have to baby you? You refused to even take a simple bath."

Daehwi made a soft angry noise then looked away from Jinyoung. Though he should felt somewhat crazy like his heart right now, but instead, cause of anger, he grabbed onto Daehwi's shoulders. Daehwi looks up to meet Jinyoung's cold eyes.

"Listen once, or I'll do it forcefully, I won't go easy if I do option 2."

He said as he let go, he saw the look on Daehwi's face then realized what he done.

"Ah, you know what-"

"Okay. Okay? I'll remove the remaining clothes."

Daehwi said quickly before turning around to avoid seeing Jinyoung's glares. He took a deep breath before feeling the pair of arms wrapped around his waist.

"Eh?!"

He said in shock before touching Jinyoung's hands that is held together preventing him from getting away.

"The scar on your back.. it's new isn't it?"

Jinyoung asks as he tightens his grip against his hand. Daehwi remained silent forgetting about that scar that was created the thing he returned home. He had quick flashbacks remembering himself not being able to move for months due to the large cut on his back. He managed to pried Jinyoung's hands apart and moved forward falling right into the tub full of water. He seemed to forgot how close he was to the tub after freeing himself. He stuck his head out of the water quickly and coughed then stable his breathing.

"Are you okay?"

Jinyoung asks as he kneels next to the tub smiling at Daehwi.

"I'll wipe that smile off your face."

Daehwi says as he bought up his hands and slapped Jinyoung.. hard.

"Ow, really now, I didn't push you in, that was on you."

"Shut up, now my pants are wet thanks to you."

"As if I can never dry things after getting them wet. Come here, let me help you wash up."

Jinyoung reaches over to grab his shampoo and squirt it over his hand as Daehwi only watches. Jinyoung turns to him while scooping a handful of water on the other pouring it over Daehwi's hair.

"Sit up will ya? That would make it easier for me."

He asks as Daehwi decided to obey and sat back facing Jinyoung. Jinyoung then started to do his work cleaning and freshen Daehwi before worrying about himself. Daehwi only plays with his fingers throughout the time except for when Jinyoung tried to wash his torso.

"Yah! Don't!"

"What? I can clean everywhere else but that?"

"Seeing this is already enough! No more touching!"

Daehwi exclaimed as he wash off anymore remaining soap on his body then stood from the tub then hurried out of the bathroom as Jinyoung only watches.
