Let Me

16. "All to yourself"

*Knock Knock*

"Chae, open up, I know you're home don't try to lie."  Park Jisung sounds from the other side of door, voice filled with rage.

Groaning Chae opens the door, revealing her saddened state, her droopy eyes, with dark bags under them, her messy hair, and most importantly the dark hickey on her soft pale skin.

"Sis-"

"Oppa-"

The two say at the same time pulling each other into hug, as Jisung drops the bag that he was holding and starts to waddle to her couch with her in his embrace. Chae starts to cry again, looking at the floor blankly.

"Hey, hey. Look at me. Don't waste your tears. What happened. Tell me baby." Jisung says wiping her tears away, then caressing her face.

"Why wasn't I enough oppa, do you think that if I was prettier things would be different?" Chae says her voice cracking as her tears pulled at her throat, clawing at it to let out a hurt cry.

"You are pretty, if he can't see it then he is blind, things couldn't be different what's done is done. Now it's time to move on, ok sis?" Jisung says looking into her eyes playing with her hair to calm her down. The small words and action warmed her heart, not in the a way that Chan did, but in a way that having a person to fall back on did.  

"Who was is?" Jisung says carefully, having a slight idea, but not a sure one.

"Chan." Chae breaths out feeling the tears prick her eyes just from the thought of his name. Jisung looks at her in shock and anger but he only briefly, choosing to not show Chae his disappointment, his fist in a tight ball to let out the anger coursing through his body.

"Here, I brought Ice cream. Mint Chip your favorite, I also got stuff to make cookies." Jisung beams as brightly as he can trying to lift the mood.

"Can we make the cookies first and eat warm cookies with the ice cream?" Chae asks holding her sweater paw with her fingers cutely.

"Of course sweetie." Jisung brings her into the kitchen making her sit on the counter. As he puts the ice cream into the freezer and sets up all the ingredients for the cookies.

"Come here." Jisung waves Chae over having her turn as he pulls her long hair into a ponytail.

Having fun, and laughing they put everything together, placing the cookies into the oven they smile, and start to wash up.

"Let's watch Moomin." Chae pulls him to the couch as they wait for the cookies to bake.

"Ah, Renjun Hyung is gonna kill me for watching without him, let's go!" Jisung follows her to the couch, sitting her down and running off to her room to grab a blanket.

After eating her cookies and ice cream Chae fell asleep like a light, forgetting that she had been crying not too long ago .

"I'll be back baby, I just need to figure out what happened." Jisung whispers kissing her forehead, before grabbing his jacket and walking out the door, and over to Straykids' dorm.
