I'll find the me that I lost.

H E A D C A N O N

The words made Minhyuk jump. He’d been occupying the seat next to the stranger for all of an hour, and this had been the first sentence to leave the other’s mouth. However surprising and unexpected it was, he welcomed the conversation, even if he wasn’t quite sure what the other was referring too. “You mean, quiet?”

He turned his head towards the source of the voice and blinked a few times. Upon inspection, Minhyuk decided the other didn’t really look like an outsider, whatever one of those even looked like. To him, he seemed a little more misunderstood as opposed to an outsider. He reminded Minhyuk of a metaphor he once heard. The one about onions having layers, as insane as that sounded even to himself. Layer upon layer of mystique, hiding the core, the person who he really was.

Minhyuk often wondered the same thing about himself, and finding the answer to that was hard enough. How on earth he’d be able to give an answer to a complete stranger, he wasn’t sure. But he sat down next to the boy regardless and placed a comforting hand on the other’s knee.

Through no fault of his own, Minhyuk found himself involved in a conversation with a woman he didn’t know. He was a social creature, enjoying the odd conversation or two while he waited around for a potential victim. With women however, it was a different story. He tended to shy away from the female population, sometimes it was hard to do. The long-haired demons were all over, after all.

He cast a glance downwards, wondering if perhaps a superman shirt had been a bad choice. He’d outgrown superheroes. Or so he liked to think, however there was still a quiet admiration for the valiant, underwear adorning man lurking in the depths of his maze-like mind. A small smile passed over his lips at the other’s rather sarcastic comment.

It was rather rare for someone to catch Minhyuk in the act. The act of stealing, that is. He always tried to be careful, which was easier said than done in a bustling club filled to the brim with lewd drunkards, shamelessly ogling the women dancing before them.

His cheeks were already glowing bright red. He hadn’t meant to stare. Sometimes he caught sight of something, or someone, intriguing and he’d spend a good few minutes studying the object of his interest. He never really noticed, it was simply something he did automatically. Maybe he should start wearing sunglasses to make it less obvious? Then again, wearing shades on a cloudy day may make it even more suspicious.

"Was that…." Minhyuk glared down at the empty plate, held tightly between the long fingers of his friend. The few crumbs scattered across the porcelain were the only evidence of the slice of cake he’d been saving. Sure he’d stolen it, stolen it for a rainy day or to simply stave off a craving. And now, it was gone. Already in the process of being digested.

He looked up at Yukwon, the other’s expression a mixture of curiosity and confusion. How many times must he remind the older male not to raid his refrigerator without asking first? It was rule number one. Or number two, Minhyuk wasn’t sure, they were unwritten rules after all.

A few seconds passed by and his mind spun, thinking up punishments for the loss of his cake. The glass of soda in his hand looked more tempting than ever. Not for consumption of course but—

"Take a chance on me."

"I'm the shell of a person that I used to be."

"I believe in you."

"From now on, I'm yours. Forever."

"What the fuck is wrong with me?"

"I'm so grateful to you."

"Nothing here is right."

"Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."

"Did you met anyone?"

"People down here think I'm crazy, but I don't care."

"Why heart doesn't listen common sense?"

"With you it felt like in the movies."

"Kiss my ass!"

"I really want to make a love connection."

"I'm not afraid to face a little bit of danger."

"Let's get away just for one day."

"I wanted to vent but I never said nothing at all."

"What I did to you to make you hate me?"

"I ain’t censoring myself for nobody."

"Don't you ever wonder how we survive?"

"I'm not the villain, despite what you're always preaching."

"Save me."

"I should've known better."

"This can't be happening to me."

"I know it's already over now."

"You don't have to pretend that you didn't notice me."

"Raise your glass!"

"I would any day die for you."

"You touch me in many ways."

"Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?"

"Would you kill to prove you're right?"

"Where is your God?"

"I want to show sun to you."

"Let's get down to business."

"Let's save the world."

"I think about you too much."

"This isn't normal anymore."

"You are my only one."

"This is the best time."

"What ever can happen."

"I've always been like this."

"I'm kind of outsider."
