CHAPTER TEN
________________________________

Three days after...

After the whole incident, the elder and the younger reused to be around each other although they both were friends of the dirty blonde. The only reason why Changbin didn't complain as much was because he wanted to make sure that the taller was okay as it was the number one topic around campus.

" i heard Changbin was involved and some say that he's a part of the situation. " hyunjin heard and sighed in frustration. Hearing rumors about the elder left and right frustrated the taller. They weren't even at the scene, how could they assume?

" shut it, those rumors are false therefore if you don't know anything then don't speak about it. "

Students glared at the taller with crossed arms. " i have no idea why you're speaking either, weren't you a part of this too? no one seemed to escape that night somehow you survived." The dirty blonde fakes smiles walking closer to the group of people. " there's a thing called tv, news for your information but by the looks of it you seem like the type to care to watch, isn't it? You go by what others say and what goes around. "

The male narrowed his brows in anger and walking over. " what. if isn't suspicious that you and changbin were the only ones to escape. "

Before the dirty blonde spoke any further, he was pulled back by an arm dragging him. " hyun, ignore them. It's no use to clear anything when their not believing nor should you beg them to believe you. " it was the icy foxy male. He had a serious look and looking ahead ignoring those who spoke about the rumors.

" now that we know that we can't just leave this college then it's better that one of us stay at each other's dorm until there's further information. "

The taller looks down. " however, it's best that you also don't speak nor see that guy anymore. Perhaps it's selfish of me but if i happen to be right that he's involved then at least you're no longer to blame. " the icy blonde saw the sad expression making him sigh putting a gentle pat on the shoulder the taller.

" do you think i want to lose you, hyung? " hyunjin flashed a glanced at the younger who wore a sad smile. " I truly don't hyun, I rather much have you hate me than to see you in this kind of situation. Don't let your guard down and don't trust anyone. " hyunjin sadly nodded. The younger put a small smile and cleared his throat. He knew that the older was upset but he rather have him upset than being in danger.

" let's go to class, yours starts about in five minutes. "  both males walked besides each other and walked to the taller's class. 

" get ready, they should be attending already. Keep yourself in line and don't act suspicious. " the male said quietly as he watched the two males in the distance. A sigh escaped his mouth rolling his eyes slightly. " quit treating me like a kid. " the brown haired rolled his eyes at the elder's words.

" then don't act like it. " the call ended soon after that making the younger walk towards the abandoned dorm away from the rest of the dorms. With a smirk and confidence he rose his head up watching as the students were with unreadable expressions from hearing the news of their doings. It was the best for them.

at the class.....

Hyunjin entered the classroom heading to the middle row taking a seat and putting his book bag on the desk. The dirty blonde sighed holding his bag close to his chest looking around, feeling eyes on him but every time he looked no one seemed to be looking straight at him. He knew it wasn't his imagination, he knew the rumors that roamed around school after the incident.

" isn't the guy who managed to escape? " the taller tensed up clearing his throat and looked down. " isn't it suspicious? It's clear that he could be the killer. " another student said quietly but enough for the dirty blonde to hear. The taller clenched his fists, as long as they didn't speak about changbin in such way then that's all what mattered to the younger.

" enough. " hyunjin rose his head up looking over to the owner of the voice. There stood a black haired male with a pissed off expression looking at the group of gossiping students.

" he's a victim too, why are you all assuming that he's a killer? You have no proof of that whatsoever. Leave him alone. " Hyunjin's eyes widened, slight blush rose his cheeks. The students scoffed and ended the gossiping. The black haired male sighed and took a seat beside the taller. " t-thank you! You didn't have to do that. "

The black haired male slightly smiled showing his bunny teeth. " it's no problem really, these student gossip about anything really and if no one shuts them up then it's annoying to hear their voices about nonsense. Im Lee Minho but everyone calls me Lino " he said with a sweet smile. The dirty blonde smiled back. " it's great to meet you lino, my name is Hwang Hyunjin and im a first year. "

Minho smiled softly. " Hyunjin? It's a pretty name for a pretty boy like you. It suits you so well. " blush creeped on the taller's cheeks. " t-thank you! are you perhaps a new student as well? "

Minho nods his head. " im a third year actually, I had transferred here just last year in September. " the dirty blonde then hummed. " oh I see, have you heard of unusual activities happening last year? I assume you have heard of the incident from three days ago?" The black haired pretends to think about but shakes his head.

" since I have transferred last year nothing out of the ordinary has happened. The incident you spoke of, I have heard of it but im so busy with my studies that I have no time for the news anymore. "

Hyunjin grew surprised. " by all means then, you must be an outstanding student if you're too busy with your studies. " the elder shrugged. " im not saying I am but I do put a lot of effort in my education. " the story was believable although the worse part is that the younger did fall in for the trap. The elder knew what to say and what not to say.

" i heard the rumors, but all those people don't know what their saying. You're a victim too and they're just assuming. " hyunjin raised a brow looking at the unbothered male.

" im slight confused on why you also haven't been interested. How could you be so sure? are you not scared of me? " Minho let out a fake giggle and smiles sweetly. The taller awaited for an answer, not even his best friend trusted anyone and now with this situation going on it's nearly impossible to trust someone.

" i trust you. "

' Because after all, im the one to blame. ' Minho thought to himself as he gave assurance to the younger who smiled back at him.
