UNTITLED UNIVERSE #1: UNIT 25

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Naih didn't answer, yet she understood the feeling of living with two personalities.

Jisung didn't dare look away from the girl, who's obviously uncomfortable about the topic, which made him jump to the conclusion that her constant eye changes are not normal.
As much as he wants to open it up, he still doesn't want to fight over it.

"Ask." Her sudden voice made him flustered.

"What to ask?"

His shaky voice made her laugh under her breath.

"I don't know. I feel like you want to."

"Oh." Jisung took a deep breath, fingers fidgeting as he looked down on his hands.

"Does your eye normally change?" he softly asked, internally preparing for a possible burst of angry Naih, but a smile was plastered on her face.

"It's normal" she simply answered, making him look back at her.

"How did it happen?"

"I don't know; it just constantly changes depending on my mood. It's bothersome, honestly. Whenever I feel my eyes change, I can't see anything but a hunch of death, black and red blood wanting to kill."

"Does it make you destructive?"

"I am purely destructive. More destructive, can you say? Yes, I can't control it."

"Do you, you know, go to doctors and such?"

"Why would I?" she asked, facing him with a raised brow.

"Maybe it was reflected so much by your mind and stronger mood changes, I think?"

"So you're saying I'm ill?"

"WHAT? No, no! I mean, it can be—what no.. but."

"Breathe" Naih cut him off, seeing his panicked state with wide eyes and random hand gestures, making her chuckle.

"I mean, it can be a sort of..."

"Illness. Caused by anxiety, depression, and a destructive mind."

"Yeah, and—huh, what?"

Naih sighed and raised her hand, landing on the boy's head and lightly patting it.

"Is it normal for a gang member to act like you're concerned? Because I could misunderstand it." she said, dropping her hand back to her lap.

"I'm not acting."

"So you're concerned?"

"No?"

"Good"

Naih quickly stood up, pulling off Jisung's jacket and placing it on his lap.

"Nice to finally talk to you in peace, my lovely Park Jisung." she sarcastically said, forcing a smile and making her way out of the rooftop.
