"And then he said not to tell you any of it!" Beomgyu whined and rambled the story Soobin specifically stated not to mention to Yeonjun. They walked down the school halls and stood by the lockers while Beomgyu held onto his books while following Yeonjun. He was always one step behind him.

"Well he obviously lied." Yeonjun stated while changing between text book, not even looking back to the pouty boy. Beomgyu noticed the monotone in his voice.

"What do you mean he lied? He showed me his bandage." Beomgyu stated and Yeonjun finally looked back to him with nothing but irritation on his face. Beomgyu read this and it hurt it see, a lot. His frown only grew while he hid his text books half way over his face.

Yeonjun sighed and backed off a little as he cracked his neck to the side. "Did you actually see his scar, or just the bandaid? Because you know anyone could slap a bandaid on and make up a fight story."

Beomgyu looked down with his eyes. The schools floors where worn out and had many different speaks on them, it's all he could now focus on. "Yeah but~" Yeonjun stopped him by slamming the locker shut making the boys skin crawl when he jumped. He hated sudden loud noises and Yeonjun knew that.

Yeonjun sent him and obvious eye roll and bent down to his level. "Are you really going to believe him over your own boyfriend? I wouldn't lie to you." His voice was stern and sassy that it sent a shiver in Beomgyus ears as he gripped his books a little tighter in his grasp. Though he must of felt some type of boldness because as Yeonjun turned to leave he mumbled under his breath. "Well you lied to me about Hyunjin..."

There was only a short pause and that clearly enraged the boy who stopped in his tracks. He glanced over his shoulder to the smaller and Beomgyu mentally slapped himself for speaking up.   
He knew he was in for it now.

"Excuse me? You want to repeat that?"

He heard the bitter tone in his voice while Yeonjun slowly took steps back to him. With one finger he pushed the books down from Beomgyus face but still couldn't get him to look his way so with one demand he said "Look at me." Beomgyu licked his dried lower lip and while shaking where he stood, he glanced his way to the others dark and lifeless eyes.

"I don't appreciate being talked to like that. Didn't I already tell you I'd only stay if you don't act like that?" He spat in the boys face and Beomgyu felt the knotted heat rise to his throat blocking off any air that he desperately needed. "You are my first Real relationship." He stated emphasizing the real. "Hyunjin did not count as a partner. We were both dumb kids, for the love of god we were 13-14 and he was a cheater. He completely switched the story around to everyone which is why I lost all my friends except Taehyun because thank god Taehyun was the only one to believe me. Hell, the bullying and harassment then got so bad I had to move! Just ask my parents if you don't believe me. So next time you want to accuse me of being a lier get your fact straight."

Yeonjun stood back up pointing his finger on the boys chest a little to hard before leaving him alone where he stood.

Once he was gone Beomgyu finally gasped for air, his ears felt like there were bubbles in them and his vision was gone. He swore he was drowning under water. The tides were now only growing higher.

At lunch he took his place next to Soobin and rested his head on the table. He was so tired and conflicted between the two sides of information he got and he didn't know who to believe. His best friend since middle school? Or his new boyfriend who he spent 24/7 with? It was also possible both of them were bending the truth.

Soobin sat there smacking on his food when he finally noticed the depressed look on the other. "What's wrong?" He asked as if he didn't know. I mean come one, it was obvious what would be bothering him.
