You and Jisung have been friends for a few months. He seems very distant and quiet, you haven't gotten him to open up yet.

One day, you're just venting to him about your toxic friend. He sits and listens silently as he messes with his hair

"She literally just made my story about a panic attack about her. She's such a bitch"

He stays silent and twirls his curly hair in his fingers. He just keeps listening to your rant

You raise your hand to stretch, but he flinches and puts his hands up defensively, muttering a panicked apology

He's taken a step back and is staring at the ground, hiding his face with his arms defensively. His voice was hushed and quick, as if he was just expecting a slap or something like one
