MONDAY | 7:40 am

Two days passed, now it was Monday and the young blonde had been crying. He couldn't accept the fact he wasn't friends with Jeongin anymore. The blonde had red puffy eyes, he denied any hang out with the group of friends. It just felt wrong If Jeongin wasn't there. His friends messaged him but didn't answer nor will he go on his phone. He's been stuck in his room, his mother also began to worry which made her anxious.

Seungmin walked out of the building and the wind hit him right in the face. The cold fresh air felt somewhat comforting or at least for the younger. He began to walk slowly towards school, the absence of the fox eyed male made the other sad.

"god if I ever did anything in the past I'm sorry but please let innie come back. I-I missed him, I apologize for my selfishness." He whispered and kept walking. The blonde had his hood on along with his air pods in ignoring his surroundings. "P-please don't take what's making me want to live." He softly begged.

"min! Wait up!" Foot steps were heard. The brown haired smiled and waved at the younger. Minho noticed that Seungmin wasn't so energetic as he used to be. "oh hey hyung, good morning." He softly said as he continued to walk.

"are you okay? You didn't text me back, I was worried that something happened to you.." Seungmin just shrugged and sighed. "min? You know can always tell me if something is bothering you." The blonde looked over at the older with a sad expression.

"Jeongin quit being my best friend. He said not to get on his way or speak to him anymore." Minho frown and pulled the younger into q side hug. "do you know why?" The younger nods his head trying hard not to cry. "h-he thinks im dating hyunjin and he felt as I was hiding it from him but im not." Seungmin said with a shaky voice.

"what did he say that made him think so?" Although the older felt happy about knowing that they aren't dating but his head hurt for the younger who was really upset. "someone had taken a picture of us but we were only playing baseball. They assumed we're dating and now it's on the internet." Minho sighed and hugged the younger. "it's okay, cry. It's not good to hold onto something that's hurting you min. Innie will get into his right senses."

Seungmin let go, he immediately started crying into the arms of his hyung. He felt safe yet so upset not wanting to let go of him. "im sure innie didn't meant anything he said. He's quite smiley yet says anything out of anger. I promise you that once he's cooled off then everything will be fixed. Innie is just short tempered nothing more min." Cried that sounded painful hard to hear which made Minho want to cry. "it's alright seung, im right here no need to worry. Innie will come back." Said the older with a soft voice and tighten the hug.

"m-maybe I was too bad of a friend hyung. I-im not lying, there's truly nothing going on between us. I-I swear hyung." Seungmin said with tears in his eyes. "I believe you min. We'll fix it together no need to worry anymore. The misunderstandings will be fixed and soon."

"Innie it's not like that." Felix exclaimed as he looked at the younger. The black haired sighed and massaged his temples. "you all excluded me and on Saturday I saw it with my own eyes." The ginger had tint of sadness shown in his eyes. "We didn't, we just had the urge to get answers. We were going to call you but Jisung said that you were busy so I didn't. What's aren't you telling us?"

Jeongin had a cold stare on his face and seemed unbothered by the words. "this never was about you getting mad at seungmin for not telling us who's he's dating huh?" It seemed as the smaller had the mind of reading Jeongin like an opened book. "because of you, min thinks you hate him." The black haired boy bit his lip and sighed. "so what? Seungmin did me wrong as well." Felix raised his brows and clicked his tongue in annoyance. "In what? He was only hanging out with Hyunjin. What was his fault that Hwang couldn't help but ask him to an art gallery. This was never anything related to Seungmin was it?"

"what does it matter to you?" Felix laughed sarcastically and looked at the younger in disbelief. "Jeongin, you literally insulted seungmin when it was never about him. He's genuinely concerned. What? Is it because you like Hyunjin?" Jeongin's heart sank hearing those words. The words weren't exactly wrong but he felt so much pain.

"how low of you to hurt seungmin in such way because of a stupid guy. Let me ask you something Yang. Is that really the way of ending a friendship? Over a guy?! Seungmin never liked him that way and if you were a good friend perhaps a good listener too. You would have known that Seungmin likes someone else." In that exact moment Jeongin felt regret, he did know that but it seemed as his anger got the best of him. "Nor was it Seungmin's fault, he never knew you liked him in the first place. You always keep everything to yourself how would he know? If you would have let him know then he would have kindly distance himself away from hyunjin. After all Hyunjin isn't who he likes."

Felix sighed and looked at the younger directly in the eyes. "apologize to min for your stupidity or never show your face again. Seungmin doesn't deserve to be treated by you in such way. He's such a sweet soul that he blamed himself the situation. He's too good for this world. I won't let you take advantage of his kindness."

Felix knew exactly who the blonde liked and so did Jisung. Jeongin would too if he listened yet it slipped his mind. "min has been through a lot, nor will I let you destroy him because of a stupid mistake. It took us a lot to see him happy. You decide whether you want min in your life or not." With that the ginger walked past him bumping into the younger walking away.

"have I gone to far?"

-"hai! Remember to eat well, drink lots of water and take mental breaks. 🩷"
