Inso's Law x Male OC (Part 2)

" More than one week... I'm sorry."

" No, you would only remember us once you see us, right? And I hid myself during that time too..." Dae-il's pupil dilated, his hands trembling as he tried to arrange his sentences.

Holding out his hand, Ji-ho gaze straight into the other's eyes. " Here, I know you play with my hand sometimes. I saw how it calms you down."

Slowly reaching for it, Dae-il fumbled with Ji-ho's fingers, feeling the warmth from it. " Thanks..."

Gulping down the liquids in his mouth, Dae-il finally got the strength he needed to continue.

" That day... I was sleeping as usual in my room after school. However, instead of waking up in that same house, I ended up in an abandoned warehouse.. or so I thought at first... I sat up and look around, feeling confused on how I was brought there from literally the safest place I could be, plus the different uniform I had on... As I sat there, trying to gather my thoughts, I was suddenly pinned down by a guy...

T-They turned out to be a mafia group who owned that place... A-and.. t-they tortured me, demanding how I get there o-or from what group I came from... T-They didn't like how I keep on saying 'I don't know'... A-At least they didn't break any bones, or I may be cooped up in my room longer than I had been... B-But still.. they did gave me cuts, bruises and almost d-drowned m-me..."

At this point, Dae-il was far inside his memory lane as his body trembled more than ever.

" S-So, I hid myself... Not wanting to worry other people more... Uh.. and at times I would get a really terrifying nightmares o-of meeting them again... Luckily, I didn't get more bruises or cuts... But the scars won't fade..."

Dae-il ended his story there, not really having the will to continue more. Head slumped down, tears dripping as he tried to wipe it out with his right hand, while the other not letting go Ji-ho's hand.

He felt like the warmth from his hand helped him to tell him that he's with his friends. The ones who he had promised to never break their ties even if one day, they'd be gone forever and he'd be back in the world he was living with his sister as an average people. No weird coloured hairs and people who looked like they came straight out of a novel. He just wanted to be happy with his friends, like any other teenagers. He kept all his sufferings alone just to keep a smile on his precious friends face.

That's why he was mad that Dan-ii wanted to put a barrier between them. He felt like it isn't fair for their long relationship. It's not just mere months. They had been together for years! And she just want to discard this bond like it was nothing?

Ji-ho couldn't believe what he just heard. To think that the boy who almost had a carbon copy of personality with Woo Ju-in and smiles that would never leave his face would experience something that even he would never choose to go through. Hell, the probability for it to happen is even as low as the number of fishes that can fly. Basically impossible.

Seeing the condition Dae-il is in, Ji-ho made a decision he never thought he would. Pulling the gradually sobbing teen into an embrace, a thought crosses his mind.

' To think that he would be so vulnerable yet so strong to face all that... Don't worry, Dae-il. This time, I'll be your knight even if I'm a cunning fox.'

Going back down, Eun Ji-ho saw everyone with gloomy expression as they sat on the sofa.

" So, who eavesdropped on our heart to heart chat earlier, huh?" Ji-ho snickered as he said that.

The red-headed guy flinched in his seat. Eunhyung looked guilty as he fiddled with his fingers. Ji-ho just smiled before sitting on an empty seat.

" I-Is he asleep?" - KE

" Yeah, he was drained. Well, are we going to pretend we're strangers at school then?" - EJ

" N-No... Ji-ho, is he going to stay here for the night?" - DI

" Yeah. For the best, I guess. Anything else you want to talk with him, you can do it tomorrow. Don't worry, Dan-ii, I'll send him back by noon." Ji-ho wear his usual fake smile, hiding his small grudge.

" O-Okay... D-Do you have strawberry milk? He usually drinks it in the morning." - DI

" I'll see to it. If that's all, shall we end this and go back home?" - EJ
