"Isn't it all cool that it's all settle down quietly?" Hyuka pat Yeonjun's back.

Yeonjun's happiness couldn't be covered anymore. He just smiled and nod.

Taehyun exchange looks with Hyuka and they both smile. Their efforts wasn't in vain. After all they had gone through, it was worth it to see Yeonjun being this happy.

"Beomgyu, you did a good job," Taehyun holds his hand tightly.

"It was nothing" Beomgyu scratch the back of his head which isn't itchy. He keeps looking down.

Hyuka hug him from behind,

"No, you were superb! From now on, I'll let you have Taehyun too!" Hyuka let out a big smile.

Beomgyu's face turn brick red hearing that.

"I-I..."

Taehyun chuckled seeing them and left a peck on Beomgyu's face.

"Thanks, dear." Taehyun said.

Without the three of them noticing, Yeonjun and Soobin that has been in front of them all the while are looking at them.

"Wah, look at them being so lovey-dovey behind us." Soobin scoff.

Yeonjun, linking his arm with Soobin's, just giggled.

"Let them be, as long as they're happy" Yeonjun said.

"Well, we're leaving you behind if you are late!" Soobin yell a bit, calling out the the others.

The trio heard that voice and quickly ran to Soobin and Yeonjun.

"Look at you guys, now so chummy" Soobin smirked, teasing them.

"Yeah, especially Beomgyu, who would've thought-"

Yeonjun was cut off before he even finished his sentence.

"I MEAN, I'M HUNGRY SO LET'S GO NOW!" Beomgyu dash to the front door of the restaurant.

The rest laughed looking at his reaction.

"Mr.Kim, are you saying I'm in fault here?" Ryujin slammed his hand on the table.

"Don't you realize what have you done?" Mr. Kim crossed his arms and said in a tense voice.

Ryujin was a bit intimidated by that. She never thought that Soobin would complaint or share about this to the counselor, out of all people.

"Look, you don't have proof to say these when all you've done is interrogate one side of the victims,"

"Proof?" Mr. Kim scoffed,

The door was creaking open and Ryujin saw a blonde boy, slowly approaching them.

He slides a folder on the table, handed it to Ryujin. Ryujin felt her palms sweaty. Out of all people, why is he here. Ryujin clicked her tongue.

"I think this is enough proof," Mr. Kim said.

Ryujin slowly take the folder and sneak the contents. Her eyes widened.

"This-" She felt her whole body trembling and shivering. Her quavering chin indicated she is in a state of nervous and shocked.

"Do you need more?"

Ryujin lift her head and saw the blonde boy holding a camera.

"Beomgyu..." she mumbled under her breath.

"What is that? I couldn't hear you."

"YOU STILL HOLD A GRUDGE AGAINST ME, CHOI BEOMGYU?!" Ryujin slammed the door again and dash to Beomgyu.

Just before she lifts her hand to slap Beomgyu, Mr. Kim just on time to prevent it from happening.

"I should've seen this coming..." Ryujin bites her fingernail, while trembling.

Beomgyu come close to her, and push her forehead.

"I know right, if only you know how to behave,"

Beomgyu smirked.

"Now, I want you to clear up the rumours," Beomgyu said in a strict voice.

Ryujin clenched her fists together. Reluctantly she had to agreed. She then left the room while slammed the door harshly.

Mr. Kim pats Beomgyu's head,

"Well done, Beomgyu-ssi"

Beomgyu couch down, and wrap himself in a round ball.

"Did.. Did I do the right thing?" He sniffled, holding his tears back.

Mr. Kim slides his hair and kiss his forehead.

"You did great." Mr. Kim hugs him and comfort him. He was indeed a crying mess. Beomgyu has never been that strict in his life.

After that day, the rumours about Soobin dating Ryujin had settled down when Ryujin said she was just intended to play around with Soobin. Thus, the whole school knows about Soobin and Yeonjun's relationship.

Indeed, they are some who could accept and some who looks at them with disgust. But, Soobin and Yeonjun were fine, as they had the others who could accept them for being whom they are. Hyuka, Taehyun and Beomgyu really there all the time for them.

But, coincidentally... something happened...
