What was he feeling? What should he feel? Fear? Anxiety? Hesitation? Discouragement? Anger? Jungwoo wasn't sure anymore. He wasn't angry, nor was he happy about this. He knew that whoever did this, ehem, Hayoon, had a reason. But then again, is that reason enough to ruin someone's name, dignity and reputation?

A part of him just wanted to sink into the ground, or to sleep forever, but another part of him told him to stand up to her, and show her who she's messing with. He was contemplating on what to do. But he was sure he wanted all of these bullshit to end. He just doesn't know how to.

"Don't worry," Jungwoo looked up, and saw Yukhei just sitting down in front of him. He handed Jungwoo a bottle of water, and something to eat. The shorter of the two didn't want to go to the cafeteria yet. He wasn't sure how to act, and he didn't know how far the issue had spread around their school. But that didn't mean he's afraid of judgements. He's just not ready. "It'll be alright."

Jungwoo didn't answer, he just stared at the stretch of green grass, he wasn't nervous but he wasn't calm either. He was on the verge of breaking down but at the same time, something told him that he should be strong. That he needed to be strong.

"Jungwoo," Yukhei spoke, the said male blinking at how close the taller was. "Don't worry too much."

"How?" Jungwoo's voice was brittle, and it honestly pained Yukhei, just hearing that. Even his expression told Yukhei that he was hurting inside, his eyes was somehow glossy, as if he was in the verge of tears, and the constant sniff wasn't helping. "If I can, I would."

"We'll get through this." Yukhei announced, taking Jungwoo's hand in his, making all his worries fade away, even for a short period of time. "Because we know what's true."

As soon as they separated for class, Yukhei couldn't help but to feel concerned for Jungwoo. It's not like he didn't trust him to be fine at a time like this, but he was feeling this because he knows what people can do and how far they can go.

He couldn't relax, how could he? Jungwoo could be stressing out next door, or he could be tormented by his classmates by glares, Yukhei felt useless, but he had to feel this. It's only human nature to feel down, because in the end, something will enlighten them up.

"Hey, Yukhei." Someone whispered, making the said male look back. And when he did, he saw a classmate. What was his name again? Chan? Is it Chan?

"Yeah?"

"Uh, this is probably a bad time to talk about it," He chuckled awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. "But, was... It really... Him on that picture?"
