"is Jeno around?" Mark whispered to Chaerin as he walked up to his locker
"nope" she said with a sigh, turning around to finally act out what Mark and her were texting about for most of the morning.
"hope you liked the date last night" Mark said, raising his voice loud enough so that people close enough could hear them
"of course I did. so much that I can't wait for the next one" she said, with a fake smile planted across her face, wrapping her arms around his neck while pulling him into a kiss.
haechan muttered words under his breath as he watched her envelop herself into a kiss with Mark. placing his books angrily into his locker and slamming it shut. pulling out his phone, he saw a notification peeking through his lock screen
unknown number: i guess you never really know a person, even if you get in bed with them.
unknown number: think that you're Park Chaerin's biggest secret? guess again, and this one's gonna hurt.
raising an eyebrow at the messages, he was more than confused on who was texting him this. who knew about their rendezvous?
haechan: who is this??
unknown number: you don't need to worry about who I am when you barely even know who Chaerin is
haechan: what the fuck does that mean?
unknown number: go ask her yourself sweetheart, make sure to pronounce the name Bae Hyesoo really well.
his eyebrows furrowed at the mention of the girl he had never heard of in the last six years. Bae Hyesoo. His childhood best friend.
"these hallways aren't pornhub studios" haechan said with an annoyed tone as he walked over to the couple slowly
"if you dont mind....we're kind of in the middle of something" Mark said, glaring at haechan slightly in attempts to make him leave
"if you dont mind, I'm gonna need you to fuck off for a second while I ask your girlfriend something" Haechan said making Mark sigh
"what is it?" Chaerin asked, with an uninterested expression
"Bae Hyesoo....do you know her?" he asked and she gulped, freezing her action immediately
"okay well...I'll see you at lunch then" Mark said awkwardly, shooting her a look before leaving her alone with him
"no, I dont know her" Chaerin said he sighed
"okay that's...all I wanted to ask....and...." he trailed off
"and?" she asked, shutting her locker closed and raising an eyebrow at him
"did you get my message last night? the one about me and soyeo-"
"no I...blocked your number" she said, lies coming easily for her now.
"wow....great" haechan said with a scoff and a smirk laid on his face, making her slightly intimidated of him. her breath hitched in her throat as his lips inched closer to her ear.
"now try block out that memory of your toes curling up every night we-......well, you know" he said, making her shudder
"what. the. hell....do you want?" she asked
"a fucking explanation...I want to know why we went from nearly being a couple to .... whatever the fuck we are now" Haechan said honestly
"don't I deserve that much?" he asked and she sighed
"yeah... yeah you do" she said and he looked at her with relief written all over his face
"but I cant give it to you....not right now" she said
"then when?" he asked
"how do you know about hyesoo?" she asked
"she uh....used to be my best friend....and then she um....you know what...its fine, you said you didnt know her anyway" haechan said, leaving Chaerin at her locker to process what just happened.

"did I mention just how beautiful you are?" Jeno asked with a smile as he laid his eyes over the girl who was sitting across the table from him as she sipped on the wine they had ordered along with their meal.
"yup, three times" she said chuckling and he laughed along with her
"well I really mean it" he said
"so you have a scholarship?" she asked and he nodded proudly
"yup, Yonsei" he said and she smiled, reaching her hand over the table to squeeze his hand reassuringly
"hard work really does pay off" she said and he laughed
"if you call kicking a ball around school's football field hard work then yes" he said. their conversations didn't stray out much from topics like school, free time and summer plans.
as Chaerin excused herself to the bathroom, Jeno heard a silent ding erupt from his phone. unlocking his phone to view the message and the attachment alongside it, his eyes widened before they hardened in disbelief.
unknown number: while you were playing football, she was playing hearts.
the picture of Mark and Chaerin kissing today in the hallways was enough to drive him off the edge. he felt betrayed, lied to and most of all he was hurt.
"if you want to hang out tomorrow I'm totally down to go and watch that match-"
"you're unbelievable" Jeno said, with a scoff as he stared at her while she took her seat back at the table
"....is something wrong?" she asked, oblivious to his sudden coldness
"yeah" jeno said. he stood up and immediately placed his jacket onto his body, collecting his things from the table
"jeno what's....going on?" she asked, holding his arm to stop him from leaving the table but he only harshly pulled it away
"you tell me Chaerin" he said, showing her the picture on his phone while shaking his head, still not believing that she had the audacity to lead him on.
"who sent you that?" she asked and he scoffed once more
"no apology? no explanation?" he asked
"I'm...I'm sorry" she said but he rolled his eyes in annoyance
"sorry that you toyed with my feelings? sorry that you kissed him?.......or are you sorry that you got caught?" he asked and she sighed
"jeno please it's not what it look-"
"save it....maybe Mark deserves an explanation of why you're on a date with me more than I do" he said, leaving her alone in the restaurant. she sat back down in her seat and passed most of the night away drinking the wine that was meant to be shared between the two of them.
