⌜ • FLASHBACK • ⌝

Soobin went to the cafeteria as he was asked to.

"Hi Ryujin," Soobin waved.

Ryujin smiled, and waved back.

"So, what's the reason?" Soobin asked, being clueless.

Ryujin smirked. Her evil smile freaked Soobin's out. Soobin feel something is suspicious.

"I saw it,"

Soobin furrowed his eyebrows. What did Ryujin saw?

"You and Yeonjun."

Soobin widened his eyes and clutch his fist. Damn, he should've checked before. But it's no use crying over spilt milk.

"Kissing,"

Soobin felt a gush of anger in him. If he could, he would've beat the hell out of this girl. But since this girl is known as the queen of campus because she is rich, he is being careful.

"So, what do you want?" Soobin asked.

"I don't know..."

Soobin gulped his own saliva.

"...Maybe I'll just spread the news around," Ryujin smiled, with her evil intentions.

Soobin bite his lips. Fuck, he knew this girl is dangerous as she is influential.

"I'll do anything you want! Just, don't involve him,"

"Anything?"

Soobin nodded.

"Then be my boyfriend,"

Soobin saw Yeonjun headed to him. His mind soothe at the looks of the brunette. Just looking at his favorite could make his problems and worries disappear.

He opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by Yeonjun.

"Congratulations, Soobinnie~"

Yeonjun smiled, his cheekbone went up.

Soobin felt pain in his heart. He didn't know what to reply. His love is right in front of him, yet he was being congratulated for being with someone else. Soobin clutch his fist strongly.

Yeonjun pat Soobin's head and said,

"Don't worry, I'll be supporting you. It's good seeing you happy,"

Soobin felt his tears swelling in his eyes. He is unable to give any responds so he just nodded and look away.

When he raise his head again, he saw Yeonjun already walked away.

Yeonjun felt himself quivering. He forced himself to smile in front of the noirette. Unable to hold it in anymore, he quickly ran over to the rooftop. He found his besties there.

Beomgyu saw Yeonjun which is a crying mess and quickly fetched him. He called out Huening and Taehyun to help him comfort Yeonjun.

"The rumours.. They are true.." Yeonjun said, his cries become louder after each words he let out.

"Soobin and Ryujin?" Huening asked,

Yeonjun nodded.

"I knew it! I'm nothing in his eyes!" Yeonjun clutch his fist and punch the floor.

Huening rubbed Yeonjun's back, while Taehyun just asked him to let everything out and clear out his head and heart.

Yeonjun shouted as his crying got louder. After letting out a loud cry, he sniffled.

"But.. as long as he is happy, I'm fine..." Yeonjun wiped away his tears.

Beomgyu started his investigation. He knew something's up when Soobin suddenly changed drastically. Moreover, he couldn't forgive anyone that made Yeonjun cries.

But since Soobin is Yeonjun's favorite, he had to respect that noirette. Beomgyu decided to went to Soobin's house after school.

He waited impatiently for the school bell to rang. When the time comes, he saw Ryujin with Soobin together. Obviously, Soobin was faking. His smile really... fake.

Soobin went into the house with an exhausting face.

"Dad, I'm home," Soobin said, letting out a big sigh.

His eyes widen when he saw Beomgyu on the couch.

"Beom?" Soobin said, approaching Beomgyu.

"Yeah, your friend has been patiently waiting for you since after school." Soobin's dad said and served another drink for them.

Soobin looked at the clock on the wall.

"It has been almost 2 hours! What brought you here?" Soobin said, sitting in front of Beomgyu.

"So, what happened?" Beomgyu glared at Soobin.

Soobin was taken aback. He chuckled nervously.

"What do you mean?"

Beomgyu keep glaring until Soobin told him the truth.

"Ryujin threatened me."

Beomgyu let out a sigh.

"I knew it, what is it about?"

"I just wanted to protect Yeonjun. He might even get expelled if this were to spread out!" Soobin defensed himself, believing what he did was true.

"Fine, I understand. Keep up your act. I'll help" Beomgyu take a sip of the tea.

Soobin widen his eyes.

"You'll help?" Soobin felt emotional. He wanted to escape from this as soon as possible.

Beomgyu nodded.

"It'll be soon over,"

Soobin smiled happily hearing that. He wanted to go back to his cute brunette. He don't want any girl or boy that is not Yeonjun.
