"oh my god! did you guys hear what happened?"

"wah! it looks like heeseung really cares about jake. they're so cute!"

"ew, why is he protecting that thing?"

"they would be cute together."

people around us were gasping and staring at their screens which confused me. was there something going on?

all our friends came running up to us. jay was shaking his phone in our faces. "what happened yesterday?"

"what? what do you mean?" heeseung grabbed jay's phone out of his grip and played the video. we all peered over and oh shit.

junghyeon's snickered. "your boyfriend isn't here to save you this time. too bad we can't beat the fuck out of him too."

the video played yesterday's events. my mind was whirring; did someone see us? i was worried about heeseung because he could get suspended over this because of me.

"care to explain?" they all stared at us expectantly, waiting for an answer.

i scratched the back of my head. "so actually, that's not what it seems!" i kept my voice steady but that wasn't fooling any of them.

sunoo crossed his arms. "yeah right. heeseung hyung beating up your bullies isn't what it seems. spill." i gulped. sunoo could be very insistent sometimes.

"it's not a big deal. like i said, they were bothering jake and i just took care of them," heeseung shrugged nonchalantly. "they had it coming."

jungwon squealed. "that is so boyfriend material! where can i find someone like you?"

"you have me, jungwon," jay spoke up next to him and jungwon reddened. we laughed at their oblivious behaviour. it was so obvious they liked each other but we're letting them figure it out for themselves.

"right, um anyways! people are gonna be asking about this," jungwon steered himself away from the subject.

"they can ask whatever they want. all i did was prevent more bullying from them in the future," heeseung stated. "i doubt the principal even cares."

"right, just propose already," ni-ki rolled his eyes. "all of you guys are acting so stupid. heeseung  obviously likes jake."

i widened my eyes and chuckled nervously. "heeseung doesn't like me." i looked at him for confirmation but he was looking at me weirdly. "right, hyung?"

sunghoon sighed. "it's clear as day."

the topic was saved by the bell. at least i got out of this awkward situation. i headed towards my next class, everyone parting ways.

unfortunately none of my friends were in my class so i sat down at the back of the class, hoping to go by unnoticed but just my luck, a couple of girls approached me.

i think one of the girl's names was sooha. she was the one that spoke. "your name is jake right?"

i nodded slowly. fuck, couldn't i just go and hide under my desk or something? i tried to act as casual as possible which was very difficult to accomplish but i managed a poker face. i wasn't good with people at all.

"well, i heard about what heeseung oppa did yesterday," she announced and i smiled cautiously, not saying a word.

"can you not speak or something?" she sniffed in disdain. "do you think you're better than me?"
