"Renjun?" Jisung called out to his older. They sat in front of each other on the metal bench in the courtyard while waiting for the others to finish up at their lockers.

"Yeah, what's up?" He responded as he nibbled on his banana.

"I was just wondering... Do you know a guy named Chenle by any chance?" He asked, thinking about that picture again.

"Ch-Chenle? Yeah, why? What happened?" Renjun panicked a little as he was more interested in what Jisung was saying.

"Well... This morning when I was walking to school, I ended up seeing a really suggestive picture of him... I didn't mean to, I just accidentally saw it! And now I can't get it out of my head, I think I'm scarred!" Jisung clutched his hair with his hands as he explained to Renjun.

"A-A suggestive picture? What are you talking about?" Renjun got defensive as he was ready to go speak to Chenle. 

"I mean if you really want me to explain... He was y'know like on the floor and umm... like he was covered in that- yeah, umm... and like, uhh... Umm, he had no clothes on but he had like a bell on his neck and like, his hands were tied with a ribbon..." Jisung explained horribly and shyly.

"Oh my goodness... Are you serious?" Renjun put his face in his hands in disappointment and shame. He was ready to almost fight Chenle.

"What's up?" Jaemin's bubbly and sparkly voice came in between as he almost jumped onto the seat next to Jisung.

"N-nothing!" The two boys said almost in time together.

"Eeeh, alright." Jaemin said as he already suspected something was up. 

"Hellooooo," Jeno dragged on as he sat next to Jaemin.

Mark and Donghyuck quietly walked to the bench as they filled up the empty spots next to Renjun. 

"Did you guys see the pictures of Chenle?" Donghyuck, the gossip leader, leaned in closer as he spoke quietly. 

"Chenle?" Jaemin repeated surprised. "What pictures?"

"Naomi uploaded a few to her Nabit... I have a few." Donghyuck grabbed out his phone as he put it in the middle of the table. He opened up his Nabit and went to her profile. He opened up the photos as he swiped through.

Everyone's face on the table was a mixture of slight disgust, fear, sympathy, upset, disappointment, and worry.

"Wh-what? Why would she have these?" Jaemin suspected as he stopped looking at Donghyuck's phone. 

"Is he a first year? I've heard about this in the student council room." Mark spoke as Jisung could hear the worry in his voice.

"Yeah, I think so." Donghyuck said quietly as he turned his phone off and put it away. "I feel really bad for him... to be exposed like this."

"Exposed? Those photos honestly look really fake. I swear you can see the outline of his head on that, it looks like it was horribly edited on Photoshog." Jeno rested his chin on his palm. "I have a feeling they're fake." 

"Really? I heard he got asked out by Naomi too and he rejected her..." Donghyuck added onto Jeno.

"What if she wanted revenge on Chenle so she put these photos out?" Jaemin's mouth was hanging open as he said his idea. He put his hand over to cover his shock but he was seriously shocked and surprised.

"Wow, I hang out with geniuses," Renjun giggled as he put his head to the table happy and a lot more relieved. 

Jisung also felt relieved, a lot more relieved, like a rock had been lifted off his chest. ...Chenle. He repeated in his mind.
