Falling for Mark Tuan | (Sequel) | Markson

Chapter 13 | Revenge

Ever since Minhyuk told me about Jinyoung, I've been secretly getting back at him throughout the week.

That paper that was due Tuesday?

Suddenly deleted halfway through.

Looking for his favourite pair of white jeans?

Accidentally spilled soy sauce all over them.

Got a class early in the morning?

Alarm clock didn't go off.

To put it simply, I was sabotaging Jinyoung in every way I could.

Because no one messes with Minhyuk and gets away with it.

Soon after Wonho, Shownu and I found out, everyone else found out about it too and all of us are not going to let Jinyoung live.

That afternoon, Kihyun had signed Jinyoung up for an 'alcoholic anonymous' organisation, that kept sending him e-mails and calling him about 'upcoming events that are available to help his addiction'.

Tuesday, Hyungwon made an anonymous tip to the Campus Office that Jinyoung had been smuggling drugs onto campus, leading to a full fled police investigation and hours of interrogation.

Wednesday, Changkyun hired someone to follow him around dressed in all black and black hoodie for the whole day. It definitely made him paranoid, he spent half of the day in the dorm and dreaded leaving, when I asked him if he wanted to go for a walk he said, 'No thanks, I'm just going to study' with a nervous laugh.

But he didn't do any studying.

Thursday, Shownu kept 'accidentally' running into him, making him fall to the ground and all of his belongings scattered on the floor. By the fourth time, Jinyoung had started to avoid Shownu at all times, but luckily Hyungwon was free and started as well. When he started to avoid Hyungwon, everyone else that was free (besides Minhyuk, who was completely oblivious to what we were doing) would join in.

Friday morning, Wonho 'accidentally' spilled water all over Jinyoung and his notes in class, that afternoon Jooheon just happened to be on the opposing team of a football game. Needless to say, Jinyoung was pretty battered and bruised by the time the game finished.

Right now, I'm getting drunk with Jinyoung, which isn't an act of revenge, considering I've been getting back at him all week. But I thought I would give him a break today and then text his psycho ex on Sunday morning.

"It's been such a horrible week," Jinyoung grumbled, a cup of rum and coke in his right hand and a bag of chips in his left.
"Why do you say that?" I asked, a cup of 'vodka' (which was actually water but it's not like Jinyoung knew).
"Every day has just been a mess, there are some people out to get me I swear," he slumped into the couch, looking up at me as I sat on the barstool in the kitchen area.
"Yeah, I had some chick trip me over the other week, I think she hates me."
"You think that's bad? Try tripping over twelve times in one day. Or getting absolutely smashed in a football game. It's so embarrassing."

You deserve it.

"That sucks, man."
"I'm going to get drunk. I want to drink away my problems, care to hear me vent out my feelings as I do so?"
"Go ahead," I laughed, taking a swig of my fake vodka.

Time to get some answers.

----------------------

"What's the big deal about Stranger Things? I mean I'm sure it's not even that good," Jinyoung slurred.
"Have you even seen it, Jinyoung?"
"No but I know it's bad."
"Ah yes, seems like a legitimate reason."
"I know, right?" He laughed, before staring me dead in the eye. "I don't get it."
"What don't you get?"
"Why you? After all this time it's still you. You'd think he'd be over it by now but noooo. When we were kids, it was you. In high school, it was you. And now, in college it's still you! Even though your relationship was a joke the whole time. I just don't understand why he still likes you."
