Youth At It's Finest▪︎HeeJake

Finally waking up, Heeseung rubbed his eyes and noticed some students eating in their respective seats. It's now lunchtime.

And yes, Heeseung slept through 3 periods of class. The teacher even noticed him sleeping but decided to leave him be, thinking that he was tired.

Heeseung then carried his bag outside and went to the cafeteria to eat.

After a minute of walking, he arrived at the cafeteria. The area was less crowded because some of the students went outside to eat lunch, and some went to their homes to eat there instead.

Heeseung then bought his lunch. His food tray consists of one cup of rice, a small bowl of vegetable salad, and one piece of chicken.

It may look basic, but it's cheaper, more nutritious, and enough to fill your stomach.

He began to eat the delicious meal and then noticed a familiar figure sitting at another table with more people.

It was Jake and his best friends, Sunoo and Jungwon.

Heeseung saw how happy they were together.

He somehow feels jealous but decides to shake it off. He couldn't hear what they were saying, so he decided to go to a table near them to hear their conversation.

"So your partner in an activity is Lee Heeseung!?" said Sunoo in shock. He couldn't believe what his hyung said.

Jungwon frowned. "Is it true, Jake hyung?" he asked worriedly.

"Yeah, it's true. What's with the reaction?"
asked Jake confused. Why would Sunoo and Jungwon react like that?

"Hyung, haven't you heard about the rumor going on about him?"
Jake's curiosity immediately perked up after what Jungwon said.

"Rumor? What rumor, Jungwon?" he asked.

"That he is another school bully in this school."
Jake's jaw dropped as he clearly heard what Jungwon said.

"A-another school bully?" Jake asked, and he started to tense up. Sunoo and Jungwon nodded in response, which made Jake tense up even more.

"Well, it's not that it's confirmed that he's a bully." Jungwon said as he massaged Jake's knuckles, hoping for him to calm down.

"Okay, so for the context, apparently one of the students saw a green-haired guy beating up another guy in the auditorium. The student then hid so they wouldn't get seen, but after they peeked inside again, the green-haired guy disappeared, leaving the unconscious guy behind. The student thought that it was Heeseung, but they didn't have enough evidence if it was him. " Sunoo explained while scrolling through his fox-themed phone.

"The guy was beaten up so badly, so he was sent to the hospital, and thankfully, the guy lived." Jungwon added still massaging Jake's knuckles.

"What do you mean 'fortunately'? The other guy was another bully in this school." Sunoo declared with furrowed eyebrows.

"Well, I mean, that guy probably beats up other students and probably almost killed one as well." he added.

"Eh, fair enough, so it's a 'he deserved it' situation." pointed Jungwon as he finally let go of Jake's hand and continued to take a sip of his strawberry juice.

When the two best friends were still talking, Jake was still wondering if the rumor was true and if Heeseung was also a school bully.

Heeseung seemed nice to him when they talked about the activity.

"Anyways, Jake Hyung, you should be careful around him. What if he suddenly kidnaps you?"
Sunoo said as he sat beside Jake, holding his hand. He doesn't want his hyung to be in trouble.
