Summary
The arm around him falls slack, and he can see Kobayashi open his mouth to say something, but before he can, a deep, confused voice speaks behind Satori.
Great, Satori thinks. They really had to pull another person into this? Isn’t two enough?
“Oh, am I interrupting?”
Satori whips his head around and meets eyes with an olive-haired boy. His hands are shoved in his pockets, unsure, and Satori’s eyes brighten at the realization that he’s not with them. Instead, this boy’s attention is focused solely on him and is so tense and self-conscious that Satori quickly understands he had no clue what he was walking into.
He can feel the two retreat from behind him; their game interrupted and no longer fun. Satori ignores them and shakes his head before he loses the chance to talk to the boy in front of him. He pats a patch of grass next to him, inviting him to sit. “You’re not.”

Summary
The walls were painted a nice dark shade of blue and fairy lights were hung around to look like stars. It truly looked like the setting of space he would see in a children’s story book. Even the booth he sat in was shaped like a spaceship.
It was funny, how he actually felt like an alien in that moment, failing to understand how to hold a basic friendship or social interaction.
The chatter of people around him started to become almost unbearable, reminding him of his isolation.
Reminding him how alone he was.
After his return from Malaysia, Jisung struggles to fit in Seoul. From the judgmental stares to the artificial relationships, he just wants a break from it all.
Eventually, he does get that break with the right group of people.
