Jisoo's POV

"Are you happy now?"
I stared at Jun in disgust, my breath a bit shaky.

"Very. What's your deal, why are you so pissed off about that?" He turned his glance from our loud group of friends to me, chewing on a chip obnoxiously. His arm was sitting lazily at the small of Soonyoung's back. I closed my eyes momentarily. The noise in the lunch room added to my frustration. "Listen," i huffed, opening my eyes again. "I'm pissed off because you hurt him. You went too far. I already knew he liked me to some extent, you didn't have to humiliate him like that!"

Junhui finally turned all the way around, rolling his eyes. "Humiliate him? He did that to himself. He's been humiliating himself this whole damn time, ever since he wrote the letter."

"Yeah, a letter meant for me! What you did was twisted dude! You took somebody else's personal thing and held it over their head as if it belonged to you in the first place- a-and you didn't! It wasn't your fucking place! None of anything your pathetic self does is your place!"

I was standing up now, fists balled up and shoulders shaking in anger. Minghao moved behind me, massaging my shoulders a bit and whispering "take a deep breath." I swallowed, but did as he said. Jun stood up as well. "You need to cool it. It was a joke, it was funny. I'm done with Jeonghan now anyways."

"...It wasn't funny to me." A quiet voice whispered. It was Soonyoung, who was now sliding away from Jun slightly. Jun's eyes widened a little. "Excuse me?" "I just..Jeonghan's my friend too. I don't like what you did to him.." Soonyoung slowly stood up too, standing next to me.

Minghao's voice spoke by my ear as he talked next. "I don't want to be a part of whatever you're doing anymore. I don't like the way you treat people."

I almost felt like smiling.

"Uh..yeah..I don't..I didn't like what you made me and Wonwoo do to him. At first you made it seem like he did something wrong which was the only reason we even agreed. If we knew he didn't do anything, that you were the one being that way, we wouldn't have even considered hurting him like that." Mingyu piped up, fingers intertwined with Wonwoo who was squinting as if he couldn't see.

"..seriously, all of you feel like this?" Jun laughed, but nobody laughed back. He blinked, furrowing his brows. "No, really. You're standing up for him? Are you kidding me?" He only got staring eyes in response. He looked at everyone individually, settling on me for a moment.

"..wow. This is some bullshit." He said harshly under his breath, standing up dramatically and and striding out of the lunch room.

My shoulders dropped when he left and I sighed heavily, rubbing my eyes. It seemed a little tense after all that. I turned to Soonyoung, quietly murmuring "aren't you going to go after him?" He only shook his head in response and i couldn't help but really smile this time.

As the lunch bell rang to signal that lunch was over, i bowed my head to my friends- people who i could truly call my friends now, and thanked them.

Now Initiating: #WenJunhuiIsOverParty.

I exited the lunch room, only one thing still bugging me about everything that happened earlier today.

Why did I say I was taken?

Why didn't I just say I don't know if I'm gay?
