detraction | Sohn Youngjae ✅

Eric: february

I decided to go see one of the counselors on campus then stopped as I reached for the door. Why was I here? Was it about my troubles with Younghoon, or all of my friends in general? It's not like I couldn't handle it. I've been doing fine all this time. Maybe I just need new friends. The thought of replacing them with new people was a bit scary, but comforting at the same time. I walked away from the door then noticed Hyunjoon watching me from afar. "And here I thought Juyeon was creepy."

He waved to me then motioned me to come over. I briefly held up my phone to check myself out then walked over. I didn't know when I started caring about how I looked in front of him, but it seemed important enough that I did it every time. "Hey, were you going to go talk to a counselor?" "No, I just like hanging around here." He chuckled then started to walk, causing me to follow suit. "Well, maybe we can both go together later. I have some things I need to get off my chest." "Guess that wouldn't hurt."

I poked at my food as I sat alone in the dining hall. I knew what time they all usually ate and used it to my advantage to avoid them. Someone had sat down in front of me and began to eat as if I wasn't sitting here. "Um?" "Don't bother complaining, I'm not moving." Ji Changmin had just then and there proved to be a stubborn one. "Why are you eating alone? Don't you usually eat with like 4 other people?" "I needed a break today." "Wanna talk about it?" Here was someone I had just talked to for the first time not too long ago asking me to spill my feelings and deep secrets. "No."

It was an obvious answer. I had thought talking to a counselor would clear things up, but things only seemed to have gotten foggier. Is that even possible? "Are you sure? Wouldn't it be better to have someone who's unbiased and all? And let's be real, most counselors suck and hate their jobs." It was then that I knew Changmin was my saving grace. The only saint in the hell I lived in.

Changmin pulled me closer to him and I felt my ass hit his dick. "Don't you think that's far enough...?" "Am I making you uncomfortable?" "Somewhat." "Sorry." He rested his chin on my shoulder and I assumed he was reading along with me. "Hey, how are you feeling...?" "Why do you ask?" "You're talkative, but right now you're quiet." "I'm studying?" He didn't say anything else and I focused my attention back on my notes. Changmin's presence was a calming one and I was glad to have it, especially with what I was going through. "I'm gonna order out, do want anything?" *"Japchae."* He hummed in response then loosened his grip on me.

He had come back in with food and I was quick to put everything to the side. "It smells good." "Of course, I only eat the best. Now hurry while it's still hot." Whenever I was with Changmin, it's like everything was happy and soft. Was I developing feelings for him? I shook my head as that couldn't be possible. We've only known each other for so long. "You're so spaced out today. Are you sure everything is okay? Did they bully you again?" "Not yet. Maybe they finally realized how awful they're being and want to change their ways." We heard a knock on the door and I didn't know who it could be at this time. "Hak? What's-" He suddenly hugged me in complete silence. I couldn't see his expression as he hid his face in my shoulder.

"Haknyeon...? Do you need to talk?" I looked back at Changmin and he seemed to have understood what I wanted. He hurried past us then waved at me before taking off. I closed the door behind us and hoped he would finally talk. "Are you ready now...?" "He burned my book." "What? Who?" "Younghoon. He...he burned it right in front of me...and he fucking laughed about it. That book was precious to me!" He had started crying and I had held him closer. I never thought Younghoon would target anyone in our group other than me. I've had enough of it.

I spotted Younghoon down the hall then quietly ran up to him and tackled him to the ground. A few other students looked as I now sat on top of him. "You can mess with me any way you please, but don't you ever mess with anyone else." "Woah, woah, slow down. Mess with anyone else? Who the fuck are you talking about?" "Don't play dumb with me, Younghoon. He told me himself." "Who?" "Haknyeon!" I was close to knocking his lights out. If he ever graduates, he'd make a great politician. All they ever do is lie. "I haven't done anything to him. In fact, I haven't seen him since a week ago." I became confused as Haknyeon had told me a few days ago. Was Younghoon actually telling the truth? I didn't know who to believe now.
