Jeonghan's P.O.V

The next day at school I knew it would be a nightmare. I knew it would be awful. Because somewhere in the back of my mind I had the very real feeling that today was the day. I couldn't hide from this anymore.

Junhui was going to reveal my letter, I'd already accepted that when I woke up this morning, so all I had to do was get to Jisoo before Junhui did. Then I'd spill the truth.

It sounded easy enough, but the second I entered the school doors I felt sick with anxiety. "I shouldn't have come today, I shouldn't have come today.." I whispered repeatedly under my breath.

Even though nothing was happening my hands were shaking and my heart was racing because I knew what would be happening.

I jumped when I unexpectedly felt Soonyoung wrap his arm around me, and I quickly snapped towards him and shoved him away. "What are you doing?!" I nearly shrieked. Something inside of me made me so..so mad at him right now.

"What do you mean? Relax Hannie, I just wanted to-"

"Don't call me that! Do you think everything is okay between us? Because you ignored me for weeks and then suddenly after you make out with Junhui again, who treats everybody like shit, you want to be my friend again?"

"..Jeonghan hyung- it's not like that.."

"Yes it is. You know it is! Why did..shit! Everything was fine before this! I was still friends with you and Jisoo and Seungcheol and I never fought with anybody and I never had the urge to cry and hurt Junhui at the same time more than I do right this second!"

"Listen..I'm sorry. I don't know why all of this is falling through this year but it is and I'm sorry. But it's not just you that's feeling upset! You stole my boyfriend!"

"I never stole him!" Jeonghan raised his voice, eyes even getting a little watery and face getting hot from the stares he was getting. "We were never dating! It was fake! He wanted to make you jealous, not to make you hate me!"

Soonyoung clamped his lips shut. "..He..you guys weren't.."

"Yes. We never were. I hate him. I hate Wen Junhui, why would I ever want to date him?"

Soonyoung looked relieved and angry at the same time. I swallowed, shoving past him and rushing to the bathroom so I could calm down a little.

Once I got in there, I immediately regretted it upon seeing Mingyu and Wonwoo. I tried ignoring them; they were making out in the corner of the bathroom so at least they were occupied. I walked to the sink, turning the faucet on with still shaking hands and splashing a little water on my face. "Relax, what the hell is wrong with you. You're never like this, Jeonghan." I whispered to myself, sighing.

I wanted to call Seungcheol. He always knew what to do in situations like this. I started pulling out my phone, dialing his number from memory and trying to call myself with deep breathes.

As soon as it started ringing I felt a little bit of relief. As soon as I heard his voice I was nearly completely relaxed. "Hey! Is everything okay? I literally just saw you like a half an hour ago." I smiled a little bit when he said that. "I'm okay. Um.." My voice trailed off and I twisted a piece of my hair around my index finger.

"...Jeonghan. What's wrong. Every time you trail off you're upset."

"That's not true. I just want to talk."

"Alright then, let's talk. Because I'm your best friend and I can tell you're not okay."

"Well..it's just.." I inhaled deeply, about to explain but it didn't get to finish my sentence because I felt my phone yank away from my ear.

Wonwoo held it up with a bored expression, clicking 'hang up' on my call with Seungcheol. I guess him and Mingyu weren't making out anymore. "Dude, what the hell? You can't just take other peoples' cellphones!" I said, attempting to reach for it back. Wonwoo tossed the phone to Mingyu who stuffed it into his pocket, sighing. "I don't care. We're going somewhere, kay?" Wonwoo said, grabbing my wrist tightly.

I tried pulling my arm away and he gripped it tighter. "Listen, I don't know what you're trying to do here but I have to get to class okay?" I said nervously, once again trying to pry his hand off of me.

"Dude just shut up already, we don't care what you have to say." Mingyu chuckled a little, leading Wonwoo out of the bathroom who led me out. We were walking in the hallways and the bell had just rung. "I have to go!" I said angrily, finally shoving Wonwoo off as hard as I possibly could. I brushed myself off and started walking, until I heard two familiar voices around the corner.

"Junhui, can I say something? I don't like the way you've been treating Jeonghan."

Joshua's voice made me close my eyes and smile slightly.

"Wait, Josh, just listen to what I have to say. It's really important."

I heard a small crinkling noise and felt sicker than I had previously. Junhui cleared his throat and began reading something.

"Dear Joshua,"

It was my letter.

I ran around the corner and was about to yell for him to stop when I felt two pairs of arms forcing me back, holding me still.

I'm so sorry about the wait guys. School started and things have been hectic. I'm going to wrap this story up soon and then hopefully start working on ma new story or something! I have a bunch of good ideas in my drafts.
