he was certain u had an affinity for nearly killing him regularly. there seemed to be a pattern between the two of you, where it was mostly him experiencing great misfortune because of ur mere existence. his best friend jay once joked and told him that he had probably wronged u in a past life for him to suffer this much around u. now, he couldn’t help but start to question if it was actually true.

what was even more confusing for him was that he found himself falling for u. no, it was weird, he thought. even when he smelled your signature scent during potions class when they were learning about amortentia.

so how did he find himself running towards the infirmary when he heard u were caught in a fight and had to be sent to the infirmary?

when he rushed there he saw u sulking in bed, turned on ur side so that ur back was facing heeseung. it looked like u were mostly unhurt, but when heeseung rounded the corner of ur bed, all he could see was red when he saw the cut on ur lip and gash on your cheek. 

“heeseung!” u gasped, sitting up straight so that you could swing ur legs off the bed. “how’d u know—”

“who did this?” he asked angrily.

“it’s not that bad, i just—”

“not that bad?” he repeated louder. “ure hurt!”

“it’s not that bad,” u said again, quieter. u held onto heeseung’s bicep with gentle hands, which happened to immediately calm him down. “sit.” u said to which he obliged.

“it was the seeker from the gryffindor team,” u told him in an oddly calm voice, although he couldn’t help but notice how u were fiddling with ur fingers too much. “she was talking down on u during class, so i picked an argument with her after class. that’s how i got these.” u pointed at the cuts on ur lower lip and cheek. 

“but u don’t need to worry, she’s worse off than i am. i got her with a knee-reversal hex,” u said with a sheepish grin. “let’s see how she flies after this.”

heeseung stared at u. “ure insane.”

“i believe the words ure looking for are thank—”

“i love u.” he blurted out and the entire room fell quite.
