Sixteen

The next day, the weather was pleasant but unfortunately, Seungmin could not share the sentiment. He was feeling gloomy.

He sat at the cafeteria with his best friends, poking at his food with a look of disinterest. Although the food smells delicious, it did not help him with his appetite at all.

His action made Jeongin, Jisung and Felix exchange worried glances at each other. After a long silence, Jeongin decided to break the silence. "Seungmin, are you okay?"

Seungmin sighed and put down his fork, tears welling in his eyes. "He purposely dropped the porridge that I made...."

Tears streamed down his cheeks as he told his best friends what happened yesterday.

He was heartbroken, of course! Though he knew Hyunjin was doing something behind his back, it still hurt. Hyunjin was sick and Seungmin was trying to be a caring boyfriend. Who knows if Hyunjin might actually fall in love with him??

Jisung's face turned red as he tried to suppress his anger. Jeongin kept a blank face, while Felix on the other hand, scooted closer to Seungmin and wrapped his arms around him.

"Bitch," Jisung muttered under his breath. He put down his utensils aggressively and slammed his hand on the table, creating a disturbance in the cafeteria. All the students whispered to each other but Jeongin glared at each of them, causing them to look away and mind their own business.

Jiisung was raged with anger, "I can't believe this. You had lots of assignments, yet you made time for him, and this is what you get???" Jisung clenched his fist tightly. "Ungrateful bitch. He doesn't deserve you! I need to teach him some lessons." Jisung got up from his seat but Seungmin quickly grabbed Jisung's arm, stopping him from going away.

"Jisung, no—"

"What do you mean by no? He crossed the fucki—"

"H–he...." Seungmin's voice trembled, breaking off.

"He what?!" Jiisung demanded impatiently.

"Calm down, Jisung!" Felix interjected while Jeongin handed Seungmin a glass of cold water. Seungmin shakily took the glass and took a sip. "H—he didn't come to school today." Seungmin finally managed to choke out some words.

"Still sick?" Jisung rolled his eyes while Seungmin just nodded weakly.

"Might as well get sick for a whole freaking week and starve himself."

"T—that's not n—nice.." Seungmin sniffled. Jisung sighed and looked at Seungmin, who was being comforted by Felix. He felt bad seeing how swollen Seungmin's eyes were. "Listen, Seungmin. What he did was unacceptable. You deserve better." Jisung held Seungmin's hand and rubbed it softly.

"Shh, don't cry. Don't ever waste your tears for someone like Hyunjin." Felix rubbed Seungmin's back.

"It's his loss anyway for wasting someone like you." Felix added.

After being comforted by Felix and Jisung, Seungmin gradually stopped crying. Seeing Seungmin had regained his composure, Jeongin abruptly stood up. "Guys, I have to go."

"Where the heck are you going?" Jisung, who had already calmed down, was boiling with anger again upon seeing Jeongin wanting to leave after being quiet the whole time.

"I... just umm you know—" His expression quickly changed as an idea suddenly popped into his mind. He furrowed his eyebrows and pressed his lips together. "Oww, my stomach hurts. I need to go to the toilet." One hand pointed towards the toilet and the other hand was clutching his stomach, acting as if he had a stomach ache.
