Cherishing you ♡ - Kang Daniel

×[¤ Chapter 24 ¤] ×

○ None of them saw that little bit of sadness inside me ○

"Daniel come with me," Seongwoo said, as he tugged his friend's sleeve.

"H-huh to where?" Daniel asked a bit confused, he had been walking around in a daze all day.

"Just come." Jisung gestured and Daniel followed them confused.

They looked around for an empty classroom, and the eleven off them went inside, with Daniel getting pushed along. 

Woojin closed the door behind him silently. Everyone started trying to give themselves a posture, where it looked like they were really calm although, everyone felt uncomfortable and guilty.

"Guys what is going on?" Daniel asked confused, looking at his friends who one by one avoided his gaze, "We have class in fifteen minutes, what game are you playing?"

"Ah......I have to confess something game." Minhyun was the first one to bravely talk up.

Immediately a bad feeling started bubbling inside Daniels' stomach, and he gulped hoping it was not true.

"And what is it, that all of you have to confess?" Daniels' voice got lower, as he started talking carefully, maintaining his composure.

"U-uhm." Jihoon stuttered, as he started looking around at everyone for help.

"Why did you and Fay part ways?" Guanlin answered calmly with a question.

"She found out about the love letter." Daniels' voice turned flat, the question his friend asked, was more than enough confirmation for him "But I do not know how......or I thought I didn't, but I can guess it already."

"Daniel I'm sorry." Seongwoo apologized first, neighing his head with guilt.

"All of us are sorry." Jisung bit his lip, gesturing at the guys around him.

"Did you guys blurt it out?" Daniels gaze pierced all of theirs, pinning them down on the spot. Usually, he was that chill, all smiles, and the laidback guy, but that made him, even more, scarier when he got mad.

"Not exactly." Jinyoung nervously fiddled with his hands.

"Can anyone just tell me al of it?!" Daniels' voice rose making everyone flinch, as he slammed his hand on a desk  "Why", am I the one who has to pull it out off you when you guys fucked up?!

"You know that night when we stayed at school to practise for our musical?" Sungwoon steadied his voice, taking on the role off telling him, "She overheard us when she came to get your script. The door was closed, so we weren't beign carefull, and even when she walked in everything seemed allright. Or so we thought."

"We assumed, she heard nothing but then this happened and we realised how stupid and insensitive we had been." Jaehwan sighed with regret, "Not only towards your relationship, but also towards Fay's feelings."

"Why did you guys even need to talk about us that day?!" Daniel asked, getting really mad yet tired at the same time, "Did you guys really have nothing better to do than gossip about us?! Or did you guys discuss more than the love letter?"

"We might have called her a stepping-stone to get to Risa," Jinyoung added in a small voice, taking a step back - and away from Daniel.

"For fuck's sake, why?!" Daniel growled at them.

"We didn't mean it as gossip!" Minhyun protested, albeit a bit weakly "We were only confused about everything! You tell us nothing at all, one day you say you are crushing on Jung Risa, and the next moment you are dating Park Fayre."
