In the morning, Jeongin and Seungmin walked over to Felix and Jisung as they always did when the pair arrived at school, but this time Seungmin looked happier than usual.
"What's got you so happy today?" Felix wiggled his eyebrows.
"I'm sure it has to do with a special someone." Jisung shouldered Seungmin who just pushed his friend away from him.
Jeongin tapped his chin, "Someone who's name rhymes with bwang byungjin."
The tall male side eyed at how idiotic Jeongin sounded. "Yes and no, I'm also happy that I don't have to hang with Hwajoon anymore and I can hang with you guys again."
"You make him sound like he's the actual devil and that hanging out with him was hell." Felix eyed him.
"Because he is and it was." Seungmin said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Jeongin scoffed, "I saw how you were laughing with him during lunch."
Seungmin raised his eyebrows, "Oh you were able to look at my direction during lunch?"
The younger gave a confused look, "Of course, why wouldn't I?"
"Because you were staring at Yedam so much, I genuinely believed your neck was stuck in that position and you weren't able to look in any direction except Yedam's."
Jeongin's ears turned bright red as Jisung and Felix laughed with their whole chest and high fived Seungmin. This only embarrassed Jeongin even more which worsened his condition as his face looked like a ripe strawberry. Jisung and Felix were in tears from laughing so hard.
"Speaking of Yedam-"
"No! Stop talking about him already." Jeongin groaned, cutting Seungmin off.
"-how was the tutoring session yesterday?"
Jeongin looked down to cover his already red face. "It was fine." He muttered. "I just taught him math."
The others looked at each other with the same facial expression. They all knew Jeongin was hiding something. "Why don't you look at us?"
Jeongin glanced up for a split second but that was all it took for his three friends to see the state his face was in.
"Oh so something did happen." Felix used a teasing tone.
"Spill now." Seungmin demanded.
"Nothing big happened, I'm just being dramatic. It probably meant nothing to him, but he asked for my phone number so he could contact me if he ever had questions on the math homework." Jeongin shrugged it off.
Jisung gasped dramatically, "You have the Bang Yedam's phone number? Oh my gosh, how lucky you are, what an honor."
The younger male rolled his eyes. "Shut up, Minho's boyfriend." Jisung chuckled. "Also not very fond with the fact that you all got boyfriends in the span of a week and I'm the only single one here now."
"You're five. You don't need a boyfriend." Jisung said at the same time Seungmin said, "You could have a boyfriend too if you would grow a pair and ask Yedam."
Jeongin's looked back and forth between the two. "Forget I said anything."
"Also I don't have a boyfriend, I have a date." Seungmin corrected.
The youngest scoffed. "Yeah not yet. We all know by the end of that date, you're going to have a boyfriend."
"Well, by the end of this tutoring thing you have with Yedam, you'll get a boyfriend too." Felix tried to be the optimist.
"We don't even know if the guy likes me." Jeongin pointed out.
"Trust me, he will by the end of it."

During lunch Yedam and the four friends sat together and the gang joined once they arrived at school like usual. In the middle of lunch, Minho told the rest that he was going to the bathroom as he got up to leave the cafeteria. While Minho was walking in the hallway to the bathroom, someone called out, "Hey Minho."
The latter turned around and saw the new kid. He couldn't remember his name, "What." He said irritated.
"You know, you're really hot." Hwajoon bit his lip as he walked closer to Minho.
The gang member wanted to gag but he rolled his eyes, "So I've been told. If that's what you stopped to tell me then you're wasting my time." Minho turned around to continue his way to the bathroom.
"Wait!" Hwajoon shouted making Minho groan loudly as he turned around.
"What the fuck do you want?" He said annoyed.
"I was wondering if you wanted to come over after school and talk, you know, get to know each other... and I don't know, maybe do more." He winked which made Minho want to burn his eyes. Hwajoon continued smirking, "Because I think we suit each other and we'd make a hot couple if we dated."
Minho started to laugh mockingly at Hwajoon which turned the boy's smirk into a frown. "I'm not interested and I will never be interested in you. You're definitely not my type."
"I'm obviously your type! There's no one else in this school who would look good with you as much as I would. It's almost like I was made for yo-"
"Are you done? Because you're really wasting my time with this bullshit." Minho interrupted. Hwajoon opened his mouth to say something else but Minho rolled his eyes again and walked away, not stopping when Hwajoon called his name out. All Minho wanted to do was go to the bathroom and return back to his boyfriend as quickly as he could.
-
The rest of the day went normally for Jisung. The first three classes went by painfully slow but after lunch, the day flew by, mostly because he had Minho there to accompany him. Of course after school Minho had things to do with the gang so they bid goodbye and went their own ways.
Hwajoon was at his locker, packing his backpack when he felt an aura next to him. He expected it to be a girl who would try to flirt with him but when he looked up, it was a male. Hwajoon recognized the guy, he was in his classroom but he didn't know his name.
"Hey?" The new kid broke the silence awkwardly.
"Hey, my name's Soobin." The guy spoke.
"I'm Hwajoon... Why are you here Soobin?" He spoke slowly.
"I know something that could help you." Soobin leaned against the lockers.
Hwajoon closed his locker and slung his backpack on his shoulders. "What do you mean?"
"I noticed you have a crush on someone."
The new kid raised his eyebrow, "Really? And who do I have a crush on?"
"Minho."
Hwajoon's eyes opened wide. "H-how did you-"
Soobin chuckled walking towards the stairs. Hwajoon eagerly followed him, "It's not hard to notice. Everyone at this school likes him."
Hwajoon stayed silent. Many thoughts were going through his head. 'Am I that obvious?' Soobin opened the door to the rooftop and walked through it, closing it behind Hwajoon.
"I also overheard your conversation with him during lunch." Soobin admitted.
Hwajoon scowled at the mention of what happened at lunch. "It doesn't even matter. He said he's not interested in me. Which I find very hard to believe because I mean look at me. Why wouldn't he want me?" The new kid scoffed.
Soobin shrugged, "I don't know, maybe because he has his eyes on someone else already."
Hwajoon narrowed his eyes at the person in front of him. "Who could he possibly be crushing on when there's someone like me to crush on?"
If Soobin had to hear Hwajoon boast about himself one more time, then he was going to break his own arm. He put a fake smile on his face, "Think about it. Who does he sit with at lunch?"
The other male thought about it. He's stared at Minho enough times to know his daily routine and to take note of the people he hung out with. "Uh Chan, Woojin, Hyunjin, Changbin, Seungmin, Jeongin, and three other irrelevant people."
Soobin rolled his eyes, "You're not from around here are you?" Hwajoon shook his head. "Well one of the three 'irrelevant' people, is Chan's brother, another one is dating Changbin, the last one is Minho's crush. Not as irrelevant as you think."
Hwajoon scrunched you his face, 'Minho's crush?' He recalled back to the first day he came to this school. He thought about lunch when he sat with Seungmin and Jeongin, and two people walked over to their table. One being Minho and the other being one of Seungmin's friend. He sat next to Minho in class and raised his hand a lot, he knew the answers to all the questions the teachers asks. The nerd. No way was the nerd the one who Minho liked.
"What was his name?" Hwajoon mumbled to himself.
"I'll give you a hint, his name's Jisung." Soobin chimed in.
Everything suddenly clicked for Hwajoon. "There's no way Minho likes him." He looked disgusted. He started pacing back and forth, "He could do so much better. What does Minho even see in him? Jisung's scrawny and not even that hot. There isn't any potential in him! He'll totally just bring down Minho and ruin his reputation. I need to help Minho realize he can do so much better before he makes a move on that guy."
"Actually, you're a little bit late. Jisung and Minho are already dating." Soobin said casually.
Hwajoon stopped pacing and froze for a moment before he laughed out loud, "Good one. I believed you for a second there." He said in between each wheeze.
"I'm telling you the truth."
"No you're not, you can stop lying now." Hwajoon shook his head, making Soobin want to smash his head.
'Why are you so fucking dumb oh my god.' Soobin groaned to himself.
"Jisung told me himself."
Hwajoon froze again and pointed at the other, "That's a lie. No they are not."
Soobin sighed, "Why else do you think Minho's not interested in you? Because he's dating Jisung. If you still don't believe me then you can even ask Jisung himself."
There was fire in Hwajoon's eyes, "Oh I will, just wait till he comes to school tomorrow." He growled.
"You didn't hear it from me though. Do what you want with the information." Soobin winked and then walked to the door, laughing to himself.
'Tomorrow's gonna be fun.' Soobin thought to himself.
"You're not gonna get away with this Jisung." Hwajoon said through his clenched jaw.
-
Jisung woke up and wanted to go back to sleep again. He didn't want to go to school today and was actually considering skipping since he didn't have any important tests or anything, but he knew that his siblings wouldn't let him stay home. Jisung also wanted to see Minho again so he dragged his ass out of bed and got ready.
When Felix and Jisung arrived at school, Seungmin and Jeongin walked up to them like usual. Not even two minutes later a voice boomed through the hallways, yelling "JISUNG!"
Everyone in the hallway quickly snapped their attention to the mentioned boy. Jisung looked at his friends who had a similar confused face. He pointed to himself, not sure if this person was calling out for him because there was absolutely no reason for it to be him. Jisung looked around and saw all eyes on him which made him want to shrivel up and die.
"HAN JISUNG WHERE ARE YOU?" The voice yelled again but it was closer this time.
Before Jisung could register what was happening, the owner of the voice was stomping down the hallway with his eyes locked on Jisung. The boy wanted to run and hide but his feet wouldn't move and stayed in the same spot. In no time, Hwajoon stood in form of him and he looked beyond pissed. Jisung was confused on what he did to make the new kid so mad.
"Is it true?!" Hwajoon said. The entire school campus was dead quiet so everyone could hear the conversation that was talking place between Hwajoon and Jisung as his voice echoed through the hallway.
"Is what true?" Jisung played with his fingers nervously.
"Don't act dumb. Are you dating Lee Minho?" He asked loud and clear. If Hwajoon didn't have everyone's attention before, he definitely had it now. Everyone wanted to know the answer. They suspected that the two were dating but no one knew for sure if they were.
Jisung's eyes widened, "H-how'd you know?"
The whole school gasped and Hwajoon scoffed. Most of the students' shock was replaced by anger and jealousy, but they didn't do anything because they knew what would happen if they did. There were a few students who's minds were taken over by their jealousy and anger towards Jisung though. They stepped out of the crowd and walked up behind Hwajoon so they could also give the poor kid a piece of their mind, not thinking about the consequences that would come with it.
"You're lying." Hwajoon concluded. "Minho's not dating you. You probably paid him or something. He would never date you voluntarily. You were definitely a bet."
While Hwajoon was saying this, Felix quickly walked into an empty classroom and dialed his boyfriend's phone number.
"Pick up. Please pick up." Felix muttered to himself, pacing back and forth.
"Felix?" He heard Changbin day from the other line.
"Changbin pass the phone to Minho now!" Felix quickly said.
Changbin heard the eagerness in his boyfriend's voice and immediately sensed something wasn't right. "Why what's wrong?"
"Changbin please just hurry up and pass the phone to Minho." Felix practically begged.
The next thing he heard was Minho saying "Hello?"
"Minho come to school now."
"Felix? What why?" Felix could hear the confusion in his voice.
"Hwajoon found out you and Jisung are dating and he basically told the whole school and you can probably guess what's happening right now." Felix quickly explained.
There was a pause before he heard, "I'll be there in 5 minutes." The tone of Minho's voice gave Felix shivers. It was uncomfortably calm, but there was an underline of sheer anger and Felix knew better than to think that Minho was calm, on the inside, the gang member was definitely the complete opposite. The purple haired male was almost scared for Hwajoon.
When Felix arrived back to the scene, Jisung was still getting rude remarks and the group of people backing up Hwajoon, became bigger.
"Why would Minho even want to date you? You're nothing compared to him. You're just gonna bring his reputation down. Minho has to have at least some standards." An annoying bitch said.
"Exactly, you're just weighing him down. You don't deserve to date him." Another girl said.
"Who do you even think you are? You're just a nerd. Go back to reading the textbooks and studying your notes. Stop ruining someone else's life by making them hang out with you." A guy said.
After every comment, Jisung's self esteem just dropped a level and it wasn't that high to begin with. He hung his head down really low and started to question it himself.
"Minho should date someone that meets his looks, like me. I fit with him so much better." Hwajoon said and the group of people agreed.
Seungmin had enough, he was ready to bash everyone in the group and beat Hwajoon. "You won't after I'm done beating your face." Seungmin mumbled. He started to step forward but Jisung quickly stopped him in panic, shaking his head. Seungmin was about to protest but another guy started talking.
"You're not worth it Jisung. You should just break up with Minho because he's gonna break up with you sooner or later. Might as make it simpler for you and do it now."
The brown haired male closed his eyes and looked down. He could feel the tears starting to come as he started to doubt if he actually was good enough for Minho. Some of the things they said were true, Minho was better than him. Jisung doesn't deserve him.
As his first tear rolled down his face, the school doors slammed open.
