Chan never came.

Jeongin somehow had found the energy to get up off the floor on which he'd been laying for hours. A slight sting met his eyes once more as he gathered his things and kicked off his shoes.

In those moments where everything was once again settling in his bones, settling in his heart and settling in his head he felt alone. Not even just physically alone. He was alone.

The person who meant everything to him and who was supposed fo be here in his time of need never came home when he needed him most.

He decided to head upstairs so he could shower off the pain of that day. It was indescribable the amount of hurt he had weighing down his body. Everything hurt. The pain in his body was back and he didnt know what to take or what to do about it. All he knew was that he was tired.

The stairs squeaked beneath his feet as he walked up them and into his room. His door groaned as he opened it, walking into his dark room.

Dropping all his things on the ground he began crying a little again as he went to his closet to grab some clothes. Lights lit up his room from outside for a moment, jeongin just assuming it was a car passing.

However he heard the front door open moments later and footsteps rushing up the stairs.

"Jeongin?" Chans voice called through the house as he searched, rushing into said boys room.

"Jeongin, oh my god im so sorry im so sorry.."

The black haired boy stepped closer when jeongin didnt say anything.

"Talk to me," he reached his hand out, touching the youngers forearm.

"You should've been there!" Jeongin ripped his arm away as he turned, looking at chan so sadly.

"Do you have any idea," he breathed in harshly, trying not to cry before continuing his sentence "what I had to go through today?"

"Baby, please just hear me out-"

"No you hear me out!" Jeongin cried out "i got handed at least thirty phone numbers that were for free sex and threesomes! I got a video of me posted online with thousands of views and the comments were horrible! People were calling me names that i cant even repeat!"

"I-"

"Just shut up!" A tear slipped down jeongins cheek "i feel so violated, hyung.. And youre sitting here trying to make excuses for why you didnt come and get me.."

A sob came from the boys quivering lips, his whole body shaking as he cried. To chan, he looked like a little kid who didnt get his nap that day..

"I dont know what to do, channie" jeongin sunk to a crouching position, losing strength in his legs "the comments were horrible, hyung.. They s-said things like they thought i got asked to make it so people could laugh,"

A few words came from his lips but chan couldnt understand since it was so slurred together and pain ridden. His cries went quiet for a moment before he breathed back in with a gasp. Chan didnt know what to do not knowing if jeongin wanted comforting or for him to leave. Instead of making him more angry, he bent  down and tried to pull him into a hug only to be pushed away.

"No.. " jeongin struggled against chans chest, hitting him and pushing him "i hate you, i hate you, i hate you!"

Chan understood he needed something to take his anger out on. Almost as soon as the hitting started it stopped and jeongin went limp against him, sobbing loudly.

"Im so sorry," the other whispered as he let jeongin cry "ill do better.. Im really trying to be here for you, you just dont understand whats going on"

Even though he said that, it all went unheard by jeongin because he was still loudly crying out all of his pain, embarrassment and anger. Every now and again, hed say a slurred together string of words that the older couldnt comprehend.

Thats how they were for almost an hour until chan moved the half asleep boy who was still whimpering and sniffling to his bed. Chan laid behind jeongin, holding him so close wanting him to know that he here and that he was present.

"I dont wanna go to school tomorrow, channie" jeongins hoarse voice and still choked up as one more tear slipped from his eye.

Slowly, he turned and scooted so his face was in chans chest, needing some type of relief from all of this.

"I wont make you," the older said softly as he wrapped his arms around him.

Jeongin was silent for a little while, a few buzzes coming from the other side of the room where his phone was.

"Do you think im a slut, hyung?"

"No, of course i dont.. You are the farthest thing from it"

Another silence fell over them so long chan though jeongin fell asleep until he heard him speak again.

"Please dont watch the video..".

" i wont.. I promise, baby"

"Im still mad at you.. But i need someone right now,"

"Im here. Im trying to always be here with you,"

Jeongin was quiet for a moment seeming to be thinking.

"Im so humiliated," the younger whispered with a sniffle following "i feel like i could cry forever over this and never run out of tears.. Why do people have to be so mean? Why did i deserve all of this..?"

"You dont, innie" chan rubbed his hand up and down his back "you dont deserve any of this and we will work on getting that video taken down okay?"

"Okay..." Jeongin nodded "changbin got in-school suspension because he punched a guy in the mouth when he pushed me down"

"He pushed you down?" Chan asked, angrily

"Yeah.." Jeongin said softly "the soup that they served for lunch stained your sweatshirt that i wore.. It burned my tummy too"

"Forget the sweatshirt, jeongin" the older said sitting up slightly "let me see your burns"

"They arent bad, hyung.."

"Can i see?"

"Ill show you in the morning.."

Chan decided not to push it and laid back down with jeongin between his arms.

"Minho is the only one with the video.." He said out of nowhere.

"How?"

"Its the one i was supposed to send you but accidentally sent him.. Hes the only one who couldve spread it around,"

Chan was quiet for a moment, utterly pissed at his supposed friend for doing such a thing.

"...i just wanted to tell you, hyung" jeongin said softly "thank you for being here and listening but i think im gonna try and sleep now.."

"Go ahead, baby.. Ill be here when you wake up"

Jeongin drifted off to sleep again about a half an hour later with a secure hold around chan. The other stayed awake for a few hours more, thinking about the whole situation. It was sad to see his baby so broken. He was also plotting where to hide minhos body once he got his hands on him..

Maybe this would decide who were the real friends and who were the fake ones.
