JIHYUN POV

"Jungwon. Hey, talk to me. What's up with you, hmm? Why are you so angry?" I stop Jungwon before he gets in his car and leaves.

He stops in his tracks and looks at me with the scariest, deadliest expression I've ever seen on him. His eyes sharp and cold, it was obvious that he was pissed off.

"Nothing. I'm fine." He replies bluntly.

"You're clearly not, you just argued with Jake. What's going on with you two?" I frown.

"Why don't you ask him? He's the one lying to me. Both him and Hyewon." Jungwon scoffs.

"Jungwon-"

The door busts open, Jake storming over to us and shoving Jungwon harshly. Panicking, I get in the middle of the two angry guys, both of them death staring at each other.

"How can you call me a liar, Jungwon? I've done nothing but be here for you." Jake argues.

"Really? Aren't you the one messing around with the girl you know I like?" Jungwon remarks.

"Fine. I like her! I've never stopped since 10th grade. And what about it, hm?" Jake's eyes widen from anger.

"Guys, stop-" they talk over me.

"You're just a silly rebound." Jungwon spits out.

"You-" Jake pushes me away,

And all went to hell.

In the flash of an eye, the two were punching each other, beating each other up ruthlessly. Blood quickly appearing from both of them, the guys rush outside, struggling to break them apart.

I run inside and quickly tell Sunoo to call Hyewon, to tell her to come over. Maybe she can help calm them down. She is the reason why they're fighting, anyway.

This was super scary, but to be honest...

I'm used to seeing my friends fight.

Sunwoo and Eric, and now them two.

I've seen enough to not be that affected by physical fights, but it did hurt me.

The two of them throwing more hard punches at each other, the guys finally pull them off of each other. Jay holding back Jungwon, and Heeseung holding back Jake.

Sunghoon stood in front of me and guarded me, blocking the way so that I couldn't step in and intervene with the fight.

Jake had a bloody nose and cuts everywhere and Jungwon had several knots on his face, also. Both of their fists bloody, they tried to lunge at each other again, but the guys used all their strength to hold them back and it was working.

"You traitor, hyung! Are you happy with her, hm?" Jungwon punches him straight in the face.

"I'm the traitor? At least I didn't lie to her the way you did! I could treat her way better than you."

Hyewon's car finally zooms inside Sunoo's parking lot, and she gets out of the car hurriedly. Running over to us, she frowns and starts to tear up, confusion and sadness all over her face.

"What... what happened?"

"What the fuck happened?!" She shouts in panic, noticing how bloody they both looked.

She tries to run towards to Jungwon and Jake, but I grab her and make her stand next to me. Holding her hand in comfort, she looks at me with tears running down her face.

"You know what? I'm done with you, Jungwon. You're so childish and immature." Jake scoffs, pushing Heeseung off of him.

"I'm gonna go take care of Jake.." Hyewon mumbles, guiding Jake to her car.

HYEWON POV

Part of me wanted to run to Jungwon and help him first, but I wasn't sure if he wanted me to help him or not. I'm sure Jihyun or any of the guys will help him get cleaned up, so I went with Jake, instead.

I take one last sad look at Jungwon and he's looking at me with sad eyes; not angry, but just sad. The anger in his eyes disappeared when he began looking at me. Watching me get into the car with Jake, he looks at me with angst.

Hurriedly driving Jake back to his house, we get inside and I sit him in the living room.

"Where's your first aid kit? You have a lot of cuts on your face and hand." I ask him.

He points to the cabinet and I speed walk over there, getting out the first aid kit. Going back over to him, I sit down next to him on the couch, our bodies turned to face each other. Opening the kit, I get ready to sanitize all of the cuts he had.

"What happened, Jake?" I frown, avoiding eye contact with him.

"He came over to Sunoo's house while we were all hanging out. Suddenly, he accuses me of shit that's not even true. I denied everything he accused me of yet he still picked problems with me. I don't know what's wrong with him, seriously. He started calling me a liar and I lost it." He explains to me.

I stay silent, not knowing what to say. Quickly sanitizing all of his cuts with rubbing alcohol after his approval, I quickly put bandages on everything to cover them up.

"You have a huge bruise on your head. Please rest for a little bit before getting up and please drink a lot of water." I say simply.

"Please feel better," I mumble distantly.

I stand up, throwing all of the wrappers away. I begin to walk away, but he grabs my wrist softly and stands up, looking at me. He quickly releases my wrist after realization.

"Are you mad at me? You're not mad at me, right? The anger got over me, I... I'm sorry." He begins to panic a little.

"Please don't be mad at me, he was saying hurtful things and I just got upset-"

"I'm not mad at you, Jake." I cut him off.

"Are you sure?" He frowns sadly.

"I'm sure." I nod my head.

Out of nowhere, he grabs my cheek softly and pulls me in, kissing me on the lips. My eyes widening while his were closed, my whole entire body froze up. He pulls away from me with a shy, awkward look.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me." He looks down at the ground.

"Jake, I..." I gulp, not knowing what to say.

"We're just friends, right?" He smiles at me sadly.

"I need to accept that things are the way they are between us. After all, you're my best friend's first love." He says bitterly, yet keeping that same fake smile on his face.

"We're nothing but friends, you and I. And it'll stay that way.." he mumbles.

What the fuck is happening.

What is he trying to say?

That he likes me?

"I'm sorry, I... I have to go." I say.

I grab my keys and I leave his house quickly, getting into my car and driving away.
