The young adult made his appearance , throwing the girl some kind of ointmioent cream and a few bandages and a pack of wound strips .

Since her condition wasn't as bad as the other boys , she was left to treat them .

She was opening the packs , when someone positioned himself in front of her .

She looked his way , her head hung down as she raised it gradually .

His legs were crossed , squaring up on the ground as he stared at her , waiting .

She looked at his face , acknowledging every part of it as she studied his wounds ,
" You're beautiful face is in a bad condition , lover boy ."

She said as she hovered her fingers over them , not making contact with them .

" it might leave scars ,"
She said in a low voice , calm as ever as she pulled her hand back to her side as she looked down to the stuff .

She was actually trying to get a reaction out of him , expecting something in the lines of ' oh my god ' or ' oh no ! My beautiful barbie's ken doll face ' .
Well , except for the ken part .

" good , girls find it hot ,"
She looked up at him as he shrugged , disbelief glowing in her eyes as she pressed her lips in a thin line .

" okay , time to shut you up ,"
She squeezed some cream on his wounds , making sure that it was on every wound on his face before she closed it and put it back down .

" this might sting a bit , what am I even saying , you already know that ,"
She mumbled out the last part , scowling at herself .

She shushed his chuckles , bringing her hand up to his face as she rubbed her fingers against his skin carefully and gently .

She was used to it , except that she was more used to liquid on a cotton .
She had already treated both boys' wounds a million times .

She started placing the strips when she made sure the ointment was applied on all of the wounds , glancing at chenle who was getting treated by henry when she felt his eyes' weight on her .

She quickly shot him a smile with her split lip , him returning it before getting smacked on the shoulder by the guy for moving .

Her body vibrated as she chuckled , voice a bit raspy and throat dry .
" can you please focus ,"

She turned to the boy that commanded instead of asking , her smile falling into a frown at his attitude .
" okay , jeez no need to be salty ,"

She then placed one on top of his eyebrow , another one on the bridge of his thankfully not broken nose , one took place right under his blacking eye .

A few scratches on his cheeks and on the side of his lips .

She was pouting her lips in concentration , her eyes narrowed and brows furrowed .

It was only when she was done that she noticed how close he was , but she didn't pay a mind , already used to it .

It was almost a routine for his face to be this close , either teasing her , annoying her , or trying to hide or get someone away from him by acting like she was his girlfriend or he was simply talking to her .

She slipped her hand in his , lifting it up to her face to examine it , she quickly treated both of his dry blood covered hands , wrapping them up in bandages before placing them down on her thighs unconsciously .

When she was done , she stretched her arms a bit , screeching while she was at it .
One more thing that she hated about herself : she makes weird noises .

She repositioned herself , smacking her hands on her thighs ,
" okay , shirt off "

She commanded , eyes unwavering as she made contact with his .

He nodded , struggling to take off the him of his shirt off his head with his bandaged hands .

She stared blankly at him , clicking her tongue before leaning forward , pulling the shirt off his head .

" enjoying the view I see ,"
He said smirking while his brows danced along .

Her face remained blank , not even looking away from his eyes as she replyed .
" I didn't even look ? When will you stop feeding your arrogance ? I've seen you shirtless more than your mom did , so stop trying boi ."

She spat back , squinting her eyes as her face crumbled up in annoyance .

He nodded  , confirming her words with his eyes closed .

She got closer , basically sitting on his lap as she examined the wounds that lettered his abdomen .

She hummed , pulling her face away from his body to get to work .

_

" okay . I'm done jun , you can put your shirt back on now ,"
She said , moving away as she tied the ends of the bandages that circled his chest and torso , not needed but she still folded them around him .

The boy didn't even have to say anything as he stared at her unmoving .

She nodded as a habit , gripping his shirt that was next to him , getting closer again as she slipped it through his head and down his neck .

She pulled it down his body , covering him and providing him warmth with his long sleeved shirt .

She was about to move away , but she noticed how he slightly shivered .
It wasn't winter , but the night was chilly and the boy has been shirtless for over 30 minutes .

She stared at him in guilt , she found it her fault for taking long .
She slipped out of her hoodie , slipping it on the boy that stared at her in confusion .

" You could've said that you were cold instead of trying to hide it , I'm the one taking care of you if you catch a cold anyway ,"
She kinda mumbled out the last part , not really wanting him to hear it , but she didn't mind that he did .

" What about you ?"
He questioned as he hugged the hoodie around him , snuggling into its warmth , showing that he was indeed cold .

" what ? I don't need it , I have a sweater on anyway ."
She pointed at the sweater that her grandma netted her , it was the thing that she cherished the most .

" okay , I'm just gonna get warmed up and give it back to you ."
He knew that she needed it more than him , but he took it anyway .
She nodded at him , turning around on her heel to head towards the other boys .

She was half way there when she turned back to the boy , skipping to him before squatting down in front of him , startling him at the sudden close proximity .

She slipped her hand in her hoodie's pocket , sending a shiver down his spine- which was unknown to her- before pulling out her phone and grinning at his face then scurrying away in the direction of the youngest and oldest again .

She slowed down when she neared them , placing her hand on henry's shoulder interrupting his conversation with chenle .

She sat down next to the latter , ignoring his question about her hoodie .

Well , you must all be wondering , why does she wear a hoodie in the summer ? .

She has this kind of trauma , drowning her in coldness for her whole life  .

Where's the cold in the summer ? Even she doesn't know , she's just cold 25/8 .

One more thing she hated about herself .

People always stared at her weirdly , also did boys .
She was never able to wear what other girls did , such as skirts , shorts , and dresses .
Even her school uniform wasn't the girls' .

That was the only thing she envied other girls for .
