10 \ i'm sorry

(there will be 2 confessions, soooooo :p)

The weekends are over and now the boys have to go back to school. The first class was Mathematics, thankfully for Ricky, he gets to avoid Gyuvin for a little while. As he was noting down the lesson's key points, Yujin, Gyuvin's basketball junior walked past his classroom and passed something to one of his classmates.

Ricky did not realise the piece of paper passing around until a girl sitting behind him, taps onto his shoulder. He turned around, looking at her in the eye while she shoved the piece of paper into his hand.

He slowly turned to the front, feeling weird. He unfolds the paper and sees a big ass handwriting that read, "Meet me after school, the usual place. - Gyu" Yeah, that's definitely Kim Gyuvin's handwriting. Ricky crushed the paper and threw it at the corner of his table. Meet KIm Gyuvin after school? No way. After discovering hickeys on his body? No fucking way.

During break, Ricky did not leave his classroom as he would like to use the time to revise his weaker subjects. "Ricky!!" It was Gyuvin. He screamed Ricky's name as if he had not just slept over at his place last weekend. Ricky looked up to see Gyuvin running towards him. He sighed and rolled his eyes. 'Oh here we go again.' Ricky thought to himself.

"Did you get the note?"

"Yeah. Why would you get someone to pass me a note when you could've just texted me or like, tell me now?" Ricky asked, obviously annoyed. "You wouldn't read my texts! And, what if I did took the risk and I can't find you in the classroom like right now?" Gyuvin retorts, sitting down on the seat in front of Ricky. His body facing Ricky.

"Why meet after school? What do you plan to do this time?"

"You'll find out later." Gyuvin winked at Ricky. Ricky pretended to vomit, earning a smack from Gyuvin.

On the other hand, gossips were spreading everywhere about Zhang Hao's sexuality. Ricky heard a few girls talking about it but he decided to ignore them. Until he bumps into Zhang Hao in the washroom...

"Hao? Why are you crying?"

Zhang Hao looked up to see Ricky. He was sitting on the floor in the washroom, hugging his knees while crying out loud. "Oh... Ricky." Zhang Hao wipes his tears with his hands forcefully and stood up immediately.

"You heard them?"

"Some parts only. What is going on?"

"Um... Hanbin's girlfriend. She saw how I acted differently around Hanbin. And she immediately suspects that I like Hanbin. I mean she's not wrong but there's no obvious reason where she could do this to me."  Zhang Hao says, tears still streaming down his cheeks. Oh, how pitiful he looked in front of Ricky. Ricky hugged Zhang Hao, patting his back, comforting him by telling him that it's okay and he will be there for him.

"Now, I'll bring you somewhere." Ricky grabbed Zhang Hao's hand and immediately pulled him to the cafe nearby his house. There's a distance between the cafe and their school so Ricky felt that it was a safe place for Zhang Hao to calm down.

"Hm.. strawberry smoothie?"

Ricky nods and signals Zhang Hao to try the drink that he had specifically ordered for him. "It's my comfort drink. Besides, it is also healthy." Zhang Hao hesitating while grabbing the drink near him, slowly taking a sip.

"Good. It tastes good."

Ricky smiles, of course it is good. His taste in anything will never be bad. They continued the talk and Zhang Hao decided to just distant himself from Hanbin these days, just in case Hanbin's girlfriend starts acting up. But.. Ricky forgot something.
