"hey..." Jaemin whispered as he sat beside Chaerin in the home room before the teacher came in
"what's up? I didn't study for this test so I cant help y-"
"okay that's...not what I'm here for.....renjun told me...about what's going on" he said and she clenched her jaw
"I'm going to strangle hi-"
"I kind of forced it out of him...i saw you leaving his car this morning and i guess i just got curious...does haechan know?" he asked, turning around to look at haechan who was eyeing them
"no....and he shouldn't" she said making Jaemin nod
"just...be careful okay?" he asked and she nodded, biting her lower lip as he walked away from her and say back in his seat beside haechan.
before haechan could ask him what he was talking to her about again, his phone popped up a notification again.
unknown number: still believe everything she says?
-attachment-
the yearbook pictures of Bae Hyesoo right beside Chaerin was enough to make his mouth run dry. she had lied to him. but why?
"alright class, books away. the test begins in five minutes" the teacher said making him turn off his phone as the teacher handed out the tests
"you may turn your papers and begin" the teacher instructed and Chaerin's breath hitched in her throat as she saw the writing littered over her test paper.
your loose lips are your biggest flaw.
I hope you know Haechan hates liars, and I hate people who can't keep secrets.
turning around immediately, she looked directly into haechan who felt an intense gaze on him, he looked up to meet her eyes as well. she looked terrified, her eyes were welling up with tears already and his eyebrows furrowed at the sight. the sound of the intercom speakers ringing ripped their glances off each other as everyone in the classroom looked up from their tests.
"Everyone makes mistakes chaerin"
"This wasn't a mistake mark. I fucked up. I made hyesoo....kill herself....i killed her"
"Chaerin, stop it. You didn't do that...."
"I told her....this world would have been better without her-"
"You were 12 chae, we all say stupid thing-"
"And so was she....jesus i made....a girl kill herself at....the age of twelve"
chaerin squeezed her eyes shut and turned back around in her seat to avoid the gazes which were now on her. the room was dead silent but haechan's chair scraping against the floor made everyone's attention rip away from chaerin to him, who was now walking towards her.
"stand up" haechan ordered as he stood infront of her desks. jaemin was quick to run to his feet in atempts to get haechan away from chaerin. he realised that this was the secret, the secret that she didn't want to come out.
"i said. stand. up!"haechan shouted, slamming both his palms on the table making her flinch
"haechan it's not what it-"
"you lied to me...you did know her. fuck that you knew her too well didn't you? you think avoiding the truth is going to get rid of the fact that she committed suicide because of-"
"haechan don't!" jaemin said, trying to pull him away but haechan had his eyes fixed on her teary ones, no longer feeling one more ounce of sympathy in his body.
"you're the reason why she's dead-"
"dude that's not the full story!" mark said rushing into the scene but he was ignored by haechan
"Is it true?" he asked and jaemin tried his best to distance him from her but to no avail
"Im sorry" she whispered, not being able to look at him anymore, all she felt was guilt. she took away his best friend and he was hurting.
"Is it fucking true? You were the one that made her life a living hell?! You!?"
"haechan not now! not here!" jaemin said warning him as he looked at the curious eyes in the classroom
"And you're going to defend her?! Jesus what the hell is going on! I lost my fucking best friend because of you! Do you understand that?! You're going to fucking pay for thi-"
"I AM PAYING FOR IT!" she shouted back finally through her tears, not being able to take this torment any longer.
"I am fucking paying for it haechan. More than you know....." she said, letting her tears out
"Clearly not enough! You're getting to live your life freely without any worries while she....she's buried six feet-"
"I'm not free haechan. Im really far from it-"
"Park chaerin please report to the principal's office, immediately" a rushed voice spoke in the intercom
"am i...going to get expelled?" she asked quietly, looking towards mark who sighed
"i'm sorry chae...i don't know what to do" mark said and she nodded, walking past haechan who was being held back by jaemin as she entered the hallways
renjun and jeno immediately rushed up to her, asking if she was okay but she ignored them, being unable to think of anything else. her reputation was spoiled and it was only a matter of days before the whole town knew.
"chaerin...i'm very disappointed in you. hacking into the principal's office to play an audio file is defintely not ssomething i would have-"
"it wasn't me sir" she said with a shaky breath
"enough. i've heard many complaints about you recently doing bad in class tests, skipping classes, not being competent as the class president. now this? the audio file was sent from your email to my laptop. today you will skip the rest of your classes to havea supervised detention and you will be suspended for the next two weeks" the principal stated
"but sir...the SNU entrance exams are in two wee-"
"well you'll have to pay for your mistakes somehow. return to your homeroom and pack up your things. detention until 6pm today in room 3-5"
and with that she was shooed out of his room and she met mark in the hallways beside her locker, holding her bag for her
"what happened?" he asked making her sigh
"i'll just text you when i get home" she said, taking her bag from him
"chae....you're scaring me. please just do something. cry, scream, slap me, jesus kick my head open for christ's sake just.....let it out" mark begged but she just sent him an apologetic smile
"I can't....not when they're watching me. I can't let them know that they've got to me" she said making jaemin and haechan who were not standing too far away hear her words
"so what? they're just going to let a murderer walk around free?" haechan asked gaining the attention of many students in the hallway as he walked towards her
"okay that's it" mark said in anger, fisting up his hand and lading it directly to the left side of haechan's face making chaerin gasp and pull mark away before he could do anymore damage
"what you heard was not the full story. don't believe everything you hear, even if you want to" he warned and haechan looked at Chaerin directly, glaring at her for having support no matetr what she had done. Soyeon rushed to his side, immediately caressing the cut on his face.
"babe are you okay?! come on let's go. why are you talking to someone like her?" she asked, glaring at Chaerin as she dragged haechan away.
someone like her.
