Minhee pushed Seungmin up against the wall, "You listen to me you little shit," Seungmin looked at her with heat in his eyes, "The reason why Hyunjin is depressed is because of you. It's all your fault. If you wouldn't have come to our school in 8th grade, hell even existed, we wouldn't be here right now."

Seungmin felt tears forming in his eyes. He tried to give Minhee his small notepad that he always carried around in case he couldn't hear but she pushed it away from him, replying with "get that shit out of my face"

"Its. All. Your. Fault," Minhee continued, "we would all be better if you were just never born."

She threw the fragile boy onto the floor causing him to start crying.

"I'm..sahrey menhi..."

Minhee slapped the boy, "Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. That's all you've ever said. All you've ever done is carry around that stupid notebook with that stupid look on your face. Don't you realize how tired everyone is of you?"

Seungmin's head hung low as he shook his head.

Minhee scoffed, "You're useless."

Minhee walked away and Seungmin slowly started to get back up on his feet. Seungmin tried to follow Minhee for a while to make it seem like he didn't just beat him up. He wouldn't want anything bad to happen.

"Hey Hyunjin can I talk to you?"

Hyunjin looked up at Jeongin to see the younger with his phone in his hands.

"Yeah sure," Hyunjin turned to Seungmin who was seated next to him, "I'll be right back okay?"

Seungmin responded with a quiet "okay" before Hyunjin and Jeongin left.

"Look," Jeongin pressed play on the video on his phone.

The video was very blurry and you could only see what looked like seungmin's pants.

"You listen to me you little shit," the video played, "the reason why Hyunjin is depressed is because of you. It's all your fault. If you wouldn't have come to our school in 8th grade, hell even existed, we wouldn't be here right now."

The video continued to play. Hyunjin couldn't take minhee's aggressive voice bullying Seungmin.

Once the video ended, Jeongin put his phone back in his pocket, "did you know about this? Like, did you know Minhee was doing this to Seungmin?" Jeongin projected an angry voice onto the older.

"How many times has this happened?!" Jeongin started to raise his voice, "you were supposed to take care of him Hyunjin!"

Hyunjin started to panic, "Jeongin please calm down. We don't need any one else to hear..I swear I never saw Minhee do this to him..but that doesn't mean it's the first time.."

"What?!" Jeongin yelled, "So does she do this often or not Hyunjin?!"

"I don't know!" Hyunjin covered his face with his hands; visably frustrated.

"Well you better make sure this doesn't happen again," Jeongin sighed, "I shouldn't have trusted you.."

Jeongin started to walk away before Hyunjin grabbed the boy's arm; preventing him from leaving, "Look Jeongin...I love Seungmin. I really do. I try my absolute best to protect him. Please just let me keep protecting him.."

Jeongin stared into Hyunjin's glassy eyes, "You love him?"

Hyunjin's ears turned red as he voilently shook his head along with his hands, "W-what-! No! N-not like that..! I mean...No! I do not love him like that! Just as a best friend-!"

"You sound pretty defensive there hyunjin," The younger cut him off.

"I do not like your brother!"

Everyone at the table turned their heads towards the two except for Seungmin who turned his a few seconds after seeing everyone else doing so.

Hyunjin felt his face get red. He lowered his voice, "I don't like him like that.."

Jeongin crossed his arms and nodded, "Please protect him Hyunjin. I can't let what happened in 8th grade happen again."

As Jeongin walked back to the table, Hyunjin felt a wave of guilt wash over him. Jeongin had no idea.
