the second we stepped into school on tuesday, people were pointing and whispering at us. my mind instantly grew fuzzy and i clutched heeseung's arm for support. he looked just as confused and angry.

some of them even started swarming around us and making a crowd, which meant whatever happened was drastic. we pushed through them in search for our friends.

heeseung was growing impatient as he shoved through them in annoyance after telling them to step back multiple times. i really felt like we were getting chased by fans and it was not a pleasant feeling.

"guys!" heeseung called out to them and they immediately rushed to us.

"did you guys hear?" sunghoon whispered furiously.

"no, what happened this time?" heeseung sighed as if he was tired.

"bro, the whole school knows about you and jake," sunoo clarified hastily.

"w- how.." i said in a panic. how did they find out? i could feel the stares multiplying by the minute and i swallowed, bile rising up my throat.

"i'm not sure but whoever posted it is anonymous," he replied.

"whoever did this is not living another day," heeseung fumed. the bell rang and teachers began escorting the students to their classes and keeping them well away from us fortunately. i couldn't shake the feeling of dread building up; i had a pretty good idea of who might've done this.

i ignored everyone in class and concentrated solely on my work. why was it that all the drama started happening after i met heeseung? now i felt more exposed than ever after living an invisible life.

luckily i had jungwon and sunoo for support who were throwing the people death glares. i appreciated their effort gratefully.

"i mean, do they think you're celebrities or what?" jungwon spoke after class. "heeseung can't be that popular."

i didn't answer and instead looked down. this earned their attention as they hugged me reassuringly with a lot of patting.

"don't worry about them. we'll scare them off," jungwon promised me.

"or maybe your boyfriend will," sunoo smirked. "remember sooha? that was epic."

jungwon agreed and they started naming different ways heeseung was going to deal with this mystery person who i knew and i wasn't sure what to do with the information.

the crowds didn't die down at all by the time i made it to my second lesson. heeseung usually waited for me after class but since everyone was blocking his way, i didn't see him.

"is it true that you're dating heeseung?" a person yelled. i ignored them and ran to my lesson quickly in hopes of shooing them away. why were they making such a big fuss?

i managed to find ni-ki at lunch who looked out of breath. "found you."

"it's crazy out here. the teachers are barely doing anything to stop it," ni-ki said.

i sighed and took him to a private area. "i know who did this."

his eyebrows flew up. "who?"

"i- i think it was sooha.."

"that bitch! of course it was," ni-ki growled. "when i catch her, she's dead."
