It was 15.30 after school hours. Jimin and I were supposed to meet for our maths session remedial work.

At first we agreed to walk together to our usual cafe.However, as soon as the bell rung, the boy told me to go ahead as he would join me later since he had to do something urgent first.

Call me paronoid but I had always that moment of deja vu. When he told me these words, it rung somewhere in my mind that maybe he was lying, he had to meet someone else. But my guts told me to trust him and so did I.

I just agreed and went by myself to the cafe. Tae and Haru were busy with their private lives themselves. Haru was interested in a guy from the soccer team and Tae, well being Tae was flirting with all the ladies in this school as usual.

I was seated comfortably, my earphones plugged in my ears listening to some classical piano covers that Jimin would send me while sipping my hot chocolate slowly.

I was doing my homework in the mean time, hoping to finish them by the time my boyfriend would come.

It wasn't until forty minutes later that he came. There he walked sluggishly to me, his hoodie was scratched and dirty, his once-perfectly combed hair was now messy. But not messy in an attractive way, messy in the 'I've-just-got-into-a-fight' way.

No time given that I was already by his side, helping him to sit at our table. His breaths were deep and sounded as if painfully. My heart was pounding at the sight. What the heck happened.

Carefully after he was seated, he painfully rolled his sleeves up, enough to cover his other injuries that he thought I didn't see.

- "I'm not gonna bombard you with questions because I know you'll end up getting mad. I'll help you to the toilets and you'll wash up. We'll talk about it later "

I said as calm as I could despite my nerves were freaking inside.

He just nodded at me without any eye contact and we slowly made our way to the men toilet. After some time, he finally came out, his face wasn't as dirty and bloody as before but his gaze was still painful.

We then slowly made our way to our table where our drinks were already waiting for us.

Silence was the word to describe the atmosphere around us at that time.

He stared blankly at the table, his fingers unconsciously playing with the pen in front of him.

I scrutinised him all around. His fingers were red, his knuckles were bleeding, he had scratches at the sides of his face and arms....either he fell down heavily or someone beat the crap out of him.

' I don't stare at me like that. It creeps me out. I told you, I want you to smile only'

A note suddenly appeared in front of me. I stared at that note and then looked at him with worry in my eyes.

Why is he so sweet everytime? It hurts when he behaves like nothing's wrong.

Carefully, I picked up his free hand and lightly squeezed it, enough not to hurt him.

- "let's call it a day for today. Enough with school work. Let it be a date instead " I said in a soft whisper, hoping half way that he would say yes but half way had say no.

With a wide smile, he nodded gently before intertwining our fingers very lightly.

Goosebumbs. Goosebumps was what I felt when his warm fingers touched mine. His hand was radiating such warmth and oh boii, it felt good.

It's been some time since we've been on a proper date so when I mentioned about it, he eventually took away all my stationary supplies and we spoke.

Yeah I know, what you're thinking. How could we communicate since he was mute and I didn't know the sign language.

Well through the basic but also, I knew a little sign language so I could slightly understand if ever he used them.

- "now tell me what happened ChimChim" I looked at him carefully, my thump rubbing his bracelet on the wrist. It was the same one he had given except that his was red while mine was blue.

At first he was silent. He didn't move just closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he began writing on a piece of paper carefully.

- 'I was on my way here when I suddenly tripped on the road and fell down. I couldn't call you since my phone cracked. I'm sorry :( '

Liar. He's clearly lying. Jimin wasn't the type to lie but yet he did, my sub conscious told me.

But then again, he's human. Everyone makes mistake. He might have been clumsy for all I could know.

Letting it go, I cracked a silly smile before leaning my head on his shoulder. He didn't winced, just shrug it off and leaned against me as well.

I trusted him.

Fun fact: When Aiden came to the cafe that day, he was injured mainly at the sides of his face. People in the cafe thought that he was badly injured. All afternoon long, someone would check on him while we were having our date. It was so cute and amusing to watch specially when this particular lady came and offered to clean his bleedings. Aiden was so embarassed and red that day😂
