"Ya, Lim Jugyeong," Those were the only words Han Seojun said that entire evening, only for him to get a response of more crying and wailing, even Suho, the supposed boyfriend of the heartbroken girl could not get her tears to stop. "Ya, stop crying will you!" Han Seojun was not frustrated because of the loud incessant sobs of the fragile girl, instead he was very close to crying himself because to see the girl he loves to be this sad, was sadder for him. 

"Ah-nee-oh," Lim Jugyeong cried, water now dripping from her nose as she sniffed, Suho passed her the new set of tissue box while Han Seojun lost half a pound by walking around the duo, in a straight line and back again. "You would not understand, Seojun," Jugyeong sniffed again, taking the tissue box from Suho's hand and looking at the frustrated guy, "you did not get your heart broken..." 

That made both Lee Suho and Han Seojun to look at each other, and while Suho rubbed Jugyeong's shoulder, comforting her, Seojun halted his long strides immediately and sighed . Well, he was the Prince of heartbreak, but Lim Jugyeong was too naive to understand that. But that also meant that Seojun knew exactly what it meant to have someone's heart broken, more than that, the trust and mutual understanding shattered over something so petty.

Suho had bought cup noodles for the three, trying to cheer up the girl with some nice warm soupy noodles, and while Lim Jugyeong appreciated the gesture, Han Seojun had anger written over his face, his hands fisted as he thought about the massive shitty step the smartest girl in their class had taken and what angered him was that how someone can be so mean under their soft exterior. 

Kang Soojin

The very thought of that tall girl, made Han Seojun wanting to beat someone up, if not her. How could she, knowing all about Lim Jugyeong's past, leak that video and moreover, how could she step over their friendship for some petty revenge scheme. She really was fortunate that day since Han Seojun had missed school and Lee Suho was too busy pacifying his girlfriend. Both of the boys were furious, infuritated and just simply mad, Suho more than anyone considering how he often regarded Soojin as his only friend. But comforting Lim Jugyeong was more important to him than confronting Soojin and there was no way he'd waste anymore time on that girl.

But Han Seojun wanted desperately to let Soojin feel the same pain, the same heartbreak which Lim Jugyeong was now suffering with. He wanted that petty little princess to exactly feel how it is to have someone's trust broken.   

"Lim Jugyeong, we should call it a day, why don't you finish this and I'll drop you home and you get a good rest?" Suho suggested, calmly, even though he was anything but that. His voice held contempt for what happened, but he prioritsed his girlfriend's state of mind much more than anyone else. "Maybe we can get ice-cream later?"

Lim Jugyeong nodded, wiping her tears with the back of her hand as she took the bowl from Suho's hands, "why would Soojin do something like this?" She said, more to herself than the boys, "why would she throw away our friendship, was it me?" Suho only sighed, letting Lim Jugyeong have a little time to herself, patiently waiting for her to finish while Seojun could wait no longer. His clenched jaw, fisted hands, and angry red eyes was a clear sign on how much he wanted to go and confront the girl who could stoop so low. 

"Han Seojun..." Suho said, rather warned him to not do anything stupid because he knew how his best friend was, they were two sides of the same coin, and if Suho would think over before deciding, Seojun would do it and then think over it. "Don't..."

Han Seojun shook his head, eyeing Suho as he stepped back, and with a last glance at the girl who wiped another one of her tears, he was out of the bookstore, and on the dark street. He was seething in rage when he came out, really wanting to scream and go give Kang Soojin a piece of his mind and he hopped on his bike, accelerating through the wind towards the girl's house. However, he stopped midway, coming back to his senses and out of his rage when he realised that speaking to Soojin would just be useless and a waste of time.
