He always acts like he hates you, But if he does then... Why is he currently clinging onto you?

His head rested on your chest, breathing in your fresh cherry scent after his long, tiring tour with the rest of Stray Kids. His arms locked around your waist in a tight embrace as he muttered 'I hate you'. Does he really hate you, or does he hate the affect you have on him?

His embrace held unspoken apologies and the impression that he does like being your best friend, but no matter how many of those stupid 'I hate you's he'd blurt out, He'd still be there for you and be your best friend anyways.

You opened your mouth to speak before— "..If you tell a soul about this, I'll make sure you'll never tell another soul anything ever again." There he goes again with his empty threats, But his eyes said it all, is there a chance he might like you more than he'd like to admit?
