Chapter 42: The Brightest Smile

Walking into the cafeteria with a homemade lunchbox in hand, Beomgyu smiled as his eyes roamed around the room in search of his beloved, eager for him to taste and evaluate the cooking skills he had been secretly honing. Just imagining the thoughts of how Taehyun would smile and flash his cute pointy fangs was enough to add colors to Beomgyu's face immediately.

As the black haired man kept walking, his legs suddenly got caught up with something and Beomgyu tripped, falling face down on the ground. His lunchbox came tumbling out of his hands and spilling in the process.

Surprised and angry, Beomgyu got up to see the very same group of girls who bothered him in the hallway the other day, sitting at a nearby table, sharing laughter among themselves.

"What is wrong with you?" Beomgyu lost his composure and yelled. The lunch he was so dedicated to making was now all over the floor, no longer edible.

"What? Are you implying that we tripped you?" Jisun turned to him with a mocking smile. "You should've watched where you were heading"

"Liar, you did it on purpose, didn't you"

"Then where's the proof? We're clearly being accused without a good reason. Hardly fair, don't you think?"

Mad was an understatement, but Beomgyu tried to remain cool and bent down to clean up the mess on the floor. It seemed like he'd had to redo everything again.

As he was scooping the rice balls, something cold and liquid came drizzling on his head.

"Oops, sorry... my juice spilled. How terribly clumsy of me" Hayoung gave the fakest apology Beomgyu had ever seen, snickering and covering her mouth as she eyed him from above.

Apparently, ruining his lunch wasn't enough, and they were now spilling juice on his head too.

His long black hair was all wet and sticky. How could he turn up in front of Taehyun looking like this?

"Why aren't you saying anything...?  I said I'm sorry. It was just an accident after all. Nothing serious" she kept on playing innocent. It sickened him to the stomach.

'Nothing serious... that's right. This much is nothing. Just tolerate it' Beomgyu grit his teeth and got up to leave, not wanting to cause a bigger commotion.

He walked out of the cafeteria to the locker area to find a towel for his hair. As he opened the door, Beomgyu thought he was hallucinating. He certainly wasn't prepared to see a bunch of trash come falling out— paper, leftover food and even leaves. Just what on earth was happening?

Among them was a paper inked with red lipstick. A bold 'GET AWAY FROM TAEHYUN' was written on it. Didn't take a genius to figure out who was behind all this.

"These crazy, obsessive people, my god.." Beomgyu angrily rid of all the trash and threw them all at a nearby dustbin.

After finding his towel, Beomgyu headed to the bathroom to wash his hair. He thought about what he should do, what course of actions to take against them. Should he tell Taehyun about it? Beomgyu didn't want him to worry. If Taehyun were to find out, he'd surely make it a bigger mess than it already was. Given how many times his boyfriend got into trouble, Beomgyu would hate to see it if principal Bang were to have him expelled for real.

He still had some time before his next class, so Beomgyu decided to get something to eat before heading there. But when he tried to turn to doorknob to get out of the bathroom, it wouldn't budge.
