Au Revoir (Kim Jongin x Reader; REVISING)

Description

Many think your life is perfect, and on the surface, you suppose it is. You’re well liked, you’re in a happy relationship, you get good grades, you have a bright future ahead of yourself. You also have a lot of secrets, and a past that haunts your every waking moment, once the curtain falls.

There’s a new kid, Jongin. He’s a loner, seemingly by choice. He goes unnoticed a lot, which surprises you, seeing as you keep noticing him. You have no idea that inviting him to a party is going to have the repercussions it does. 

Foreword

The stubble of the attacker's face is as close as it was all those years ago, the pain Jongin feels as the attacker grips younger him by his hair and throws him into the back of the van is just as real as that night. 


He wishes with all his might that he could just forget, even for one night, the sound of his mother's pants, her broken chants of, "please, no, please not my baby".

As he's making his way to his usual seat, he manages to make his way passed the popular clique unnoticed, but it's hard to miss the overbearing scent of flowers that invades his nostrils as he does; if he's noticed anything about you, it's that everything is so... flowery. From your smell, to your clothes, to your way of speaking, to your perpetual brightness, and though he has no issue with you personally, you're one of the few that's never said anything to him when you notice his presence -- and he much prefers that -- he still finds himself wishing that you'd tone it down a notch, he supposes some people were made for morning classes, and clearly you're one of them. 

#
At some point, it became about control. Where cigarette burns had once lined his flesh, the scarred skin has all but replaced it, he knows he's always had a desire to feel something, but above all, it's a way to remind himself he's still human.

He finally regards your presence, supressing a sigh. "What do you want this time?"

The words dry in your throat, and you will your hands not to shake. Shouldn't it be obvious? "T-to stop you," you choke out. 

"Stop me? You don't even know why I'm doing this." He pauses for a second. "Just pretend it's like it was six months ago, walk ahead like we're total strangers."

"No."

He meets your eyes this time, eyebrows pulling together. "No?"

"H-how can I do that, Jongin? God, how do you expect me to?" 

"You won't have to," he says, as he gets up to leave, paying the pain that's pooling into your eyes and the silent protests no mind. "I'll do it for you."
