Jae has never remembered, how he had left the building, or crossed the city, he woke up from a trance, when the door in front of him crackled and he needed a second to recognize the face in front of him.

"Jae, what happened!" Doyoung ran to him.

The rain was heavy and Jae realized he was soaked in and cold.

"Talk to me! What happened to you, your mum calls me every five minutes, she's going crazy," Doyoung shook his shoulders.

"Taeyong kissed me," whispered Jae and then he broke out into tears falling into his friend's arms.





He guessed he had used all the supply of courage for his entire life, to go to school the next day. Doyoung's father gave them a lift and the redhead was stubborn enough to pull Jae into the building. Taeil was waiting on the stairs next to the front door.

"He's inside with Yuta, Ten is patrolling the upper floor," communicated the older boy.

"We have theatfe class togethef," Jae ran down the stairs so Doyoung and Taeil needed to catch him, and force him back.

"Are you crazy? Your parents start to think you're going mental," Taeil was pale.

"I am, because of him," Jae stamped. "I'm changing schools today!"

"Oh, stop acting like a child," Taeil grabbed his other hand while Jae fought with him and Doyoung, but they managed to drag him to the drama classroom's door.

"Everyone is inside, including the teacher, we don't need detention," Ten was waiting for them in the hall, he seemed tense.

"I can't go in thefe!" protested Jae.

"Just ignore him," Doyoung tried to reason with him, but Jae shook his head.

"Come," Ten opened the door and Miss Hillary glanced towards them from the inside of the huge assembly hall.

"Boys, I'm glad you're here I will need you," she smiled and Jae had no more choice, but to walk into the room.

He felt so sick, that his head spun. He had told his mum he was depressed, because she wanted him to change schools, when she came to pick him up from Doyoung's house last night. After a sleepless night he was here now, in the last place he wanted to be.

"Ten do you enjoy the time with the losers?" shouted Yuta and Hansol, and Johnny laughed.

Ten ignored them, when they walked towards the stage to Miss Hillary.

"Babies we will have guests today, the class from the girls boarding school is visiting today to help us with the play preparations, be nice to them," the older lady smiled bright.

"Oh no," Taeil groaned.

"Maybe we should kick Taeyong off a cliff, since he came everything went wronger than wrong," whispered Doyoung.

Jae felt a wince of pain, when his friend mentioned this name. He hid behind Doyoung's back but risked a glance towards the other part of the room. Yuta was sitting crosslegged on the floor and talking to Taeyong, who was learning against a wall and hid his face under a snapback and hood.

Jae felt he's ready to run, when all his insides twisted.

"Boys can you paint the forest?" asked Miss Hillary.

"Sure," Ten smiled, he loved drawing.

"I prefer to build the treehouse," said Taeil.

"Great sweetie, but don't hurt yourself," she smiled again.

"I can help him," said Jae and Miss Hillary tapped his shoulder.

"It will get better Jae, I believe in you," she was the only teacher, who always told him he will overcome his problem and Jae had a lot of warm feelings towards her.

Ten and Doyoung grabbed the brushes and paint, and moved to the huge piece of paper on the floor, while Jae followed Taeil to the last corner, where the planks for the treehouse were stored.

"Boys do you want to help?" Miss Hillary spoke to the cool clique.

The rest of the calss was busy, but as expected Yuta and his friends did nothing.

"Can paint a bird," said Hansol getting up.

"Great sweetie," Miss Hillary hurried to him with another brush while Ten and Doyoung exchanged looks.

Soon Johnny walked to the piano and started to play a melody.

"What about you?" Miss Hillary looked at Taeyong and Yuta.

"Not in the mood," said Taeyong not raising his head for an inch.

"Too lazy," Yuta sent the lady one of his killer smiles.

"Sweetie you take the world too serious," Miss Hillary glanced at Taeyong then walked to Ten, and Doyoung to explain the painting to them.

Fifteen minutes later the door opened and a group of girls, including Lauren and her friends entered, when they did Taeil nearly hit his finger with the hammer.

Miss Hillary hurried to them and their teacher to welcome everyone. Soon the group spread, most helped with the painting, and some costumes. Two girls approached Jae and Taeil shyly.

"Hi, we are Bea and Megan," said a girl with hazel eyes and brown hair.

"I'm Taeil, this is Jae," Taeil tried to be polite, when he offered them some nails and explained the treehouse, but his gaze wandered down to Lauren, who jumped on Yuta's back, both falling on the floor laughing loud.

"Don't look," whispered Jae.

"I can't," Taeil tensed.

The girls opposite to them seemed tense and so were the boys, so they worked in total silence.

"Go there," whispered Taeil, when he caught Jae staring at Taeyong hopelessly for the hundredth time.

"No," Jae returned to the construction, that as slowly raising in front of them.

"He won't tell you to go," Taeil smiled to himself and Jae shivered.

"You don't know..." he stopped putting the hammer on the floor.

Was he really mental, but suddenly a crazy courage overcame him and he got up walking through the room, till he reached the place where Yuta, Lauren and Taeyong were sitting.
