Lifan sighed loudly. This wasn't working. She had a hunch that things weren't working out for them. But she didn't know that it would go downhill like that.

Why did she even care?

Because she knew how much Jisung liked Renjun. And honestly, she doesn't want to see her brother single anymore. All his friends had boyfriends but he was the only one single who ended up fifth wheeling all the time.

Oh wait, Mark was also single. Or was he? She didn't remember well but she hated her brother acting like 'i-don't-want-love' all the time.

Renjun, on the other hand, was a little shaken up. The walk to home was silent. Lifan kept pondering on how to resolve their issues while Renjun was hurt?

Was he hurt? Well, he doesn't have any right to get hurt after all the things he said to Jisung but he was and he couldn't pinpoint the exact reason for such his reaction.

Any other day, he won't give a single fuck about Jisung, yet here he was sitting with a pout and acting all upset at the younger boy's behavior.

Any normal person would get the message just right and just back off. Jisung made clear that he didn't want to talk to him and he was mad. And the Renjun from three months ago would do the same but he wasn't the same now.

Why? Simple. Because this Renjun wasn't entirely 'normal' anymore. He hates to admit but he did develop a soft spot for Jisung.

Renjun knew he should stop but something inside told him not to.

Thus was the reason he ended up outside Jisung's room the next day.

Gathering as much courage he could, he knocked on the door and almost immediately got a 'come in'

He twisted the knob to open the door and peeked his head inside. Just to make sure he wasn't invading Jisung's space like that.

He saw the boy buried in his closet, maybe trying to find something. He went inside and said hello.

Recognizing the voice, Jisung whipped his head out to look at the Huang Renjun himself standing in his room in all mighty.

He never expected to see Renjun coming inside his room. He felt something in his stomach but shrugged the feeling off.

"Why are you here?"

"There's something I need to tell you,"

"I- um you see, you didn't let me explain the other day. Jisung I'm really sorry for everything. I am, for real this time." he continued.

"I told you that you didn't have to say sorry to me. You didn't do anything wrong so why do you keep saying sorry?" Jisung remarked sarcastically.

Renjun sighed. I seriously need to up my explanation game, he thought groaning in his head.

"I know that you're mad at me and you should be but let m-"

"I'm not mad at you or at anyone and you don't have to apologise. Now, please if you would kindly leave," he went back to searching in his closet.

But of course Renjun didn't budge. Instead, he came closer and tried to reason one again.

"Please Jisung! Just hear me out one time! I promise I won't bother you again, please"

2 please in one sentence. He was doing exceptionally well.

"Hyung," he scoffed out in annoyance, evident with his expressions. He faced the short one and crossed his arms.
