jiseok always had a way of getting under your skin. he wasn’t cruel, just relentless—poking fun at your habits, mimicking your tone, grinning like he knew exactly what he was doing. most days, you could brush it off, maybe even laugh along when his teasing went too far. but some days, it chipped away at something fragile inside you, something you didn’t always have the strength to hold together.

today was one of those days. it started small, as it always did. you misplaced your keys, and he made a joke about how you’d lose your head if it weren’t attached. harmless, playful—but then he kept going. every little thing you did seemed to invite another remark, his laughter filling the space between you like a challenge you weren’t ready to face.

you tried to keep it together, biting back sharp words, ignoring the growing tightness in your chest. but when he mimicked your frustrated tone one more time, something inside you cracked. without warning, the words you were holding back dissolved into tears. they came fast and unrelenting, slipping past your defenses before you could stop them.
