"what? do you have anything you want to say to me?"
i accidentally snapped at jisung who was watching me train a few days after the battle. he was dressed in new clothes, his eyes were glued to me but he was quiet the entire time he stood there watching me decapitate all the dummies, his cheeks flushed after i looked and snapped at him, causing him to look down shyly.
"i-i'm sorry...."
he said before exiting the training area, he can't fool me, i'm part guide for goodness sake. he's by the window still watching me.

jisung was one of sopa's techno student, he's fifteen and luckily he wasn't part of the experiment. only a few of the experimented ones survived but they had to be under the watch of the government for a while, jisung and that kid who made me save him, jeongin, stayed in jyp for the meantime but i for sure know jinyoung-nim will probably make them agents and join skz. can't blame him and the board, jeongin had incredible guide skills as well as jisung in the techno field even at a young age, they make us have a great advantage plus the two had nowhere else to go so they have no choice but to stay here.

i leaned back onto the wall and sighed, letting myself hide in the corner and slide down till i sat on the ground. i took out the necklace from my chest and pulled it's pair out my pocket, it was old and the system probably had a virus that it broke when i used the strongest shield option to protect me and jisung, it wasn't jisung's fault, but i just didn't like how he bothers my mind every time, i don't like the feeling i get when he's around so i become kind of rude to him but at the same time i feel uneasy when he isn't around, so i don't quite understand myself either.

even though these two necklaces meant the world to me, it was useless now, so i threw them across the training area a bit frustrated and left the room.

the next day as i was walking towards the training room, jisung stopped in front of me again clearly shy and nervous. he had his arms around him and i raised my brow at him.
"if you have anything to say, just say it, you'll creep me out if you keep acting like that."
i told him and he finally looked at me, blushing madly when we locked eyes. he looked down again and pulled something he hid behind him.

he presented the small box to me and i took it a bit confused, i opened it, seeing the necklace now looking brand new and upgraded. it was shiny and looked like obsidian, the codes were more visible and almost neon, it also seemed unbreakable now but i'm not too sure.
"lee know hyung-nim, chan hyung told me how these meant a lot to you.... i think this is why you don't like me, so i fixed it to tell you i'm sorry...."
his eyes were so genuine that they twinkle, i finally got to see jisung more clearly now. his cheeks were quite chubby and his lips were shaped a bit like a heart, his hair was brown and curly, he was shorter than i was and his pupils were sparkling as he looked at me.

"thank you for saving me."
he added up.
"i don't know why you don't seem to like me, but i won't bother you anymore, s-so i'll just get going—"

"wait!"
i held onto his arm before he could've turned away and glanced at the pair of the necklace i used to wear. i took jisung's hand and placed one of the necklace on his palm.
"please keep it for the mean time, jisung."
i said and he looked at the necklace confused, he looked at me for a moment then smiled before putting on the necklace, i felt my heart melt seeing him smile at me for the first time.

i'm not lonely.
i told myself again.
i think i just found someone, who i want to start loving.

"do you like me that much?"
i asked smirking at jisung who came by watching me train as always, he hid his face behind the tablet he brought clearly flustered and i laughed at his reaction.
i know he likes me, but i don't think we're ready yet.

i walked towards him and lowered the tablet so i could see his face, he looked at me with his curious eyes, cheeks all red and flustered. i glanced at the necklace he wore that i gave him. it suits him, it suits him so well.

"i-i just wanted to know if you're hungry hyung-nim, you've been training nonstop the whole month...."
he said shyly, i stared at him for a moment before smiling. i bent down his level, keeping eye contact with him hiding his face even more behind the tablet.
"just call me minho, you don't have to be so formal, okay?"
i said but he didn't say anything.

i walked away from him to grab my coat and stuff from the corner of the room when my necklace lit up.
"okay minho hyung."
jisung said through the necklace.

"still shy to talk to me?"
i glanced at him still hiding behind the tablet and he nodded his head, blushing even more.
"do you really like me that much?"
i chuckled.
"it's my first time liking someone...."
he said honestly through the necklace again.
"so i don't know how to act or how to make you like me....."

"it's okay."
i grinned at him.
"i like you too."
