Changbin nervously tapped his foot on the tile floor in the boy's bathroom. He thought long and hard about his next few moves. If he posted the video, he could get into serious trouble. He could be suspended, expelled even. He was very aware of all the pros and cons to outing his ex boyfriend like that.

There was only one positive thing that would come out of posting the video online, and that was the sweet satisfaction of karma doing what it did best. The bad weighed out the good tremendously. The boys' parents could divorce, they could get bullied to death, they could lose everything.

Changbin considered it deeply, almost backing down from his decision to post the video online. He thought back to everything Felix had put him through. Cheating on him for two years, lying through his teeth, and sleeping with his step brother. His emotions overcame him once more.

Without a second thought, Changbin posted the video to every social media platform he had, using anonymous accounts to hopefully avoid getting caught. Now it was all a waiting game. He smirked to himself in deep satisfaction. He truly felt like the winner now.

Felix sat there quietly, waiting for the bell to ring. He had his AirPods in his ears, drowning out all the loud bickering from other people in class. He scrolled through his music playlist to try to find the perfect song. Right when he was going to click on it, an Instagram notification popped up on his phone.

qu10183uya111 mentioned you in a comment: @ leefelixxxxx @ bangchan12 this u? 🤢 🤮

Felix felt his heard drop almost immediately. He quickly pressed on the notification, heart shattering upon seeing a video of him and Chan kissing from earlier that morning. He knew he should've checked those stalls better.

Felix looked up quickly only to be met with many other students already looking back at him in disgust. Many people were snickering, whispering into their friends' ears while looking directly at Felix. He saw a group of girls laughing at him loudly. Most of the other students looked shocked.

His eyes began to sting as hot tears poured from them. He quickly gathered his things, making his way straight to the door to leave. The kids blocking the door moved away quickly, treating the boy as if he had the black plague.

"Mr. Lee, we don't leave until the bell rings! There's still two minutes left!" His teacher called out. He rolled his eyes, running out of the classroom and into the empty hallways.

He didn't know what to do so he ran. He ran all the way up the school stairs, searching for a place to hide. He looked up and down the long hallways desperately. He stepped into the janitors closet that was luckily unlocked, trying to stabilize his heavy breathing.

Felix completely broke down. He pulled out his phone to see what the comments were saying on the post.

hyunjinnieeee: delete this.

peachymina: that's fucking disgusting

changbinnie: 🤢

jeonjk: what are u doing step bro 😏

He felt sick to his stomach. Some of the comments would've made him laugh in all honesty, but that was the last thing on his mind right now. His anxiety kicked in full throttle. He felt his phone vibrate in his hands.

nerd 2 (kim seungmin): started a group chat with you and seven others!

nerd 2: LIBRARY NOW. ALL OF YOU

han jisung: damn chill

minhoe: shut up babe. that's not appropriate rn.

Felix let out a breathy sigh. Why was Seungmin asking them to meet? Well it was quiet obvious, but why did he care so much?

nerd 1 (channie <3): are you okay?

Felix ignored the text. He groaned to himself loudly, switching his phone onto silent mode. He pulled out a hoodie from his book bag, putting it on quickly and lifting the hood.

He made his way to the library quickly, trying desperately to avoid the stares people were giving him. He felt a small sense of relief when he saw the familiar faces all grouped up in the library. Thankfully they were the only ones there.

"Why did you of all people call us here?" Minho asked while raising a brow. "I'm not answering any questions until Chan gets here." Seungmin said bitterly, glaring at Felix with disgust.

"So we all saw the same thing on Instagram, right?" Jisung questioned the group of boys. Hyunjin and Jeongin stayed quiet, trying to ignore the seemingly insensitive question. Minho slapped his boyfriend's arm, causing him to wince in pain. "Ow! what was that for?!" Jisung pouted. "We talked about this, babe. Think before you speak." His boyfriend scolded, rolling his eyes.

"You and Chan, Lix?" Minho questioned. Felix looked up from reading more comments on his phone, tears pooling into his eyes once more.

"D-don't judge me like everybody else is. P-please." Felix weakly pleaded, ignoring Seungmin's scoff in the background.

"Hey hey hey hey hey!" Minho said quickly, noticing the tears that began to fall from his best friend's eyes. This was the first time he ever witnessed Felix this weak before. He pulled the boy into a tight hug, rubbing circles onto his back gently.

"Nobody here is going to judge you." He spoke softly. Jisung joined in on the hug, smiling softly at his friend. "This is kinda gay, but yes my abusive boyfriend is right." Felix smiled. He felt a sense of safety. He didn't know his friends would be so supportive, even after hearing something so horrid. Hyunjin joined the group of boys, smiling happily.

"T-this means a lot to me you gay ass losers." Felix giggled softly.

"It's definitely different and unexpected, but we know the truth, and we know that no matter what happens, we will always be here for y-"

"Christopher Bang Chan!" Seungmin screamed loudly, cutting Hyunjin off mid sentence. The group of boys watched Chan run into the library, ignoring Seungmin's scream completely. He ran straight to Felix and pulled him into a tight hug.

"Sorry I didn't get here sooner. A group of jocks tried beating me up on my way, but I managed to make it out without getting hurt. Lixxie, are you okay? Please tell me you're okay." Chan babbled.

"I don't know what I am right now. I just want to go home." Felix said.

"Chan." Seungmin called out.

"We can go home. We can do whatever you want." Chan smiled, completely ignoring his friend.

"Chan." He called out again.

"I just want to sleep." Felix whispered softly.

"Of cou-"

"CHAN!" Seungmin screamed out. The older boy turned around to face his friend quickly, only to be met with a hand slapping his cheek.

Chan winced in pain, clutching onto his cheek. "You have some explaining to do!" Seungmin looked beyond pissed off. He looked hurt and betrayed.

One mess after another.
