"Can you please eat slowly? You're not running out of food." Eli stated still chuckling as he wiped the young boy's cheeks, Calum shrugged before continuing to stuff his mouth with the food they just order.
"You have a good apetite." Luna said making Calum smile, "He could eat anything to be honest." Eli said as they eat their dinner loudly.
Luna ate her food quietly as a lot of thoughts ran through her mind.
After what happened to her earlier almost killing herself, she became so lost. Were her parents even worried about her? Or did they even realized that she was gone for so long? Does someone still care for her?
"Luna?" She snapped out of her thoughts before looking at Calum with a small smile. "Are you alright?" Eli asked as he sat next to the lost girl. He gave her a small smile as she slowly nodded her head to answer their questions.
"We should probably help you come back home right? You might think weirdly of us to keep you here for so long." Calum said as he stood up setting his food down in the table before wiping his cheek with a clean napkin.
"No..no it was alright, I am fine." She muttered under her breathe as the two boys diverted their attention to their visitor. "This might sound really weird, specially when we are just strangers-" "Oh please, me and the boys have talked a lot of things that are much weirder." Eli said as Cal nodded his head at her.
"Can you...I think I'm being too much.." She said while fidgeting with her fingers, Calum quickly sat down before looking at the young girl. "We won't judge, It'll be alright.. what is it?" He asked as she look at the two boys.
"Can I..stay?" She said making Eli started coughing. Calum chuckled before patting the older one's back before giving him something to drink. "I..I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry." She said before looking down to her left wrist tracing her self cuts,
"I mean.. why would you want to stay?" Eli asked as he finally calmed down and stop coughing. Calum smiled at her before grabbing her left wrist to trace her cuts. He looked at her with a worried look.
"Please don't harm yourself anymore." He said. Eli chuckled before standing up. "As much as I'd like you to stay.. I am not kicking you out as well but-" Eli stopped talking to recall the perfect sentence he was just about to say.
"We still need to get you back to your parents. I know it's hard-" "It is hard for her hyung." Calum said as Eli let out a sigh. "Why.. What is the reason for this.." Eli asked as he smiled awkwardly at the two.
