THIRD PERSON POV

"Jongin, what the hell." Sehun walks up to Jongin and Taemin who are sitting in the hallway, against the lockers.

Jongin looks up, "Hey-"

"Don't hey me, you asshole... Hey, Taemin" Sehun nods at Taemin and Taemin waves at him.

"What-what did I do?" Jongin asks.

"You haven't responded to any of my texts and you didn't even hang out with me yesterday. You're supposed to be one of my closet friends. AND!! YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME WHAT WENT ON BETWEEN YOU AND D.O!" Sehun whines

"SHUT UP!!" Jongin looks over to where Kyungsoo, Jinki, and Chanyeol are standing, to see if they heard anything.

"Keep your voice down... and don't call him D.O. He doesn't like it." Jongin grabs Sehun's arm and pulls him down to sit with him and Taemin.

"I just got a new phone yesterday. I couldn't find my old phone. I spent one week without a phone." Jongin explains.

"Whoa, one week?" Sehun is shocked.

"Yes, I didn't want a new phone. I had really nice photos of Kyungsoo and me. I was an idiot and didn't back up my data so now it's all lost."

"Ugh, ALWAYS. Back up your shit." Sehun tells him.

"Wise words," Taemin says.

"So, about Kyungsoo? What happened? Yesterday, when I asked him about you, he got very upset. He told me 'No we're not official and we're not going to be official'. Then he changed the topic." Sehun explains

"He said that," Jongin says then pouts.

"To what?" Taemin asks.

"Pardon?" Sehun makes a face.

"What was the topic he changed to?" Jongin asks

"Uh, after that we started talking about the new guy, and then asked him questions."

"See. That's the other problem. Kyungsoo is all over the new guy." Jongin looks at Taemin and Taemin just nods.

"With Chanyeol?" Sehun laughs. "No, no, no, no, and no, you've got it all wrong- "

"That asshole is trying to steal my squishysoo."

The nickname makes Sehun cringe, "First of all, ew. Plus, Chanyeol is a really cool guy. I hung out with him all afternoon after class in the park. You would have met him and see that yourself if you didn't ignore me yesterday."

"I ignore you one day and you find a new friend... and it's the same guy trying to take Kyungsoo from me."

"Jongin... get a grip. Kyungsoo wouldn't do that. Come on, be smart. Also, get to know Chanyeol. He really nice, funny, smart- "

"What you like him too?"

Sehun turned red. "What"

"Oh my god, he fell for him," Taemin says and puts his hands over his mouth. Jongin does the same and they look at each other.

"Shut up. I don't like him like that..." He thinks about it. "Ew-no... I prefer someone more on the petite side... Like Kyungsoo- "

"HEY! You watch your mouth." Jongin points at Sehun. Sehun and Taemin laugh at Jongin.
