To Be Loved... (BOOK 1)

The Beauty and The Brains

Wooyoung's POV:

"So?" I crossed my arms and waited for Yunho to tell me everything.

"Definitely not Hongjoong." He smiled. How could he possibly be smiling at a time like this? I don't think there's anything positive about this situation.

"How?"

"Apparently he's just as obsessed with Seonghwa. He's going to talk to him."

"Knew it." San mumbled, scrolling through his phone.

"You shut it." I turned around quickly. He didn't take me seriously of course. Apparently he doesn't take me serious unless I'm screaming at the top of my lungs or using my 'man voice' or whatever that means. I sound like a man, I don't know what he's talking about. He accuses me of being cute at all times too. Ridiculous. "So then who else could it be?"

"No one. He didn't cheat." He shrugged.

"He's lying, I just don't believe it."

"Did you ever give him a chance to even explain?" I stayed quiet. Hyunjin tried twice, but I shut him down immediately. "Well that's a problem. He loves Felix. He ended up rambling about Felix for almost twenty minutes about how perfect and wonderful he thinks he is."

"Well then what about the drugs?"

"He knew Jiung was bad news. But he was the one with the weed. He kept Felix away on purpose after what happened with Kai. He was trying to protect him. He knew how disappointed everyone would be if they found out who he was with, but he didn't know anyone else who had weed."

"Literally fucking Mingi." San laughed.

"And how would you know that?" I turned again. San imitated smoking a joint and I gasped. "I should've known. Why wasn't I invited?"

"You'd want to be invited?" San smiled.

"I hope we all understand here that it's not about weed. It's the secrets." I hope I cleared that up. "Same with Felix."

"Understood. You'll be invited next time."

"I wish I could be invited." Yunho mumbled.

I felt terrible for Yunho. He's been best friends with Mingi since they were little. They were always inseparable and now we have to deal with them fighting in the hallway. It breaks my heart.

"Maybe we'll get there." I tried to be optimistic for his sake, but every time I've been with Mingi, all he does is talk shit about Yunho.

"So we can all finally admit that Hyunjin is innocent?" I slowly turned around to face San and now he was scared.

"What do you mean 'finally'?" San started awkwardly whistling and looked away from me. "Choi San!" I screamed.

"I don't think he did it." San quickly confessed. "He's doing exactly what I did for years. I hated who I was, tried a little too hard to change and went overboard, hurt my friends in the process, but you came into my life and made me realize I was a piece of shit and I fixed everything with myself and everyone in my life. The end. You and Felix put all this blame on him, but never once did you call him out. You called me out and made me realize. The second Felix told Hyunjin, his entire world was flipped upside down because he didn't have a clue." I felt like a turtle slowly sinking into its shell. He just might be onto something. The guilt was written all over my face. "Baby, I love you so so much. I hope we're together forever. But please let me to say this just one time." I nodded, letting him speak. "You and Felix have been idiots for accusing someone who has been outwardly struggling and has practically been screaming for help. Sure, I knew about his parents, which helped. But the fact that I saw it and not you two is beyond me."

Yunho gasped. I forgot he was here in that very moment. But I hate to say it, San was right. I guess he really is the brains in this relationship. The debate has finally been resolved.

"So what now?" I whispered. "I'm assuming he's living with Hongjoong."

"No." Yunho shook his head. "He's back with his parents." For whatever reason, I immediately started to cry. San rushed off the bed and held me in his arms.

This was now my fault. I practically forced everyone to cut ties with him and he had no one left. He must've been so desperate and felt he had no other options.

"San, why didn't you say something earlier?" I cried.

"I didn't want you to think how you felt was wrong. I understood why you were upset. You know I told you to talk to him, baby, you know that." He tried so many times. I always said no, Hyunjin needs to figure it out himself. But he needed me.

"What the fuck do we do about Felix now? He won't even talk to me."

He's ignored all my texts so I gave up. I knew if he wasn't going to answer me last night, he wouldn't answer at all. My only option was to wait for him to contact me first.

"I can talk to Minho."

"No." My voice was stern. Minho is the last person we need knowing about any of this. "I guess I have to talk to Hyunjin then."

"I think that's the best thing to do." San kissed my head and comforted me the best he could.

I think I might just be the worst person in the world.
