I quietly drank the rest of my tea then sighed. I was physically and mentally tired. Lately I haven't had anyone to talk to and it was stressing me out. Changmin was supposed to meet me over half an hour ago, but he hasn't shown up. I got up to leave then texted Juyeon. I knew he was just as much trouble as Younghoon, but I needed his shifting relationship with me right now. I thought it was a good idea then.
As I made my way to Juyeon, I saw Hyunjoon jogging over to me. "Where you off to?" "Juyeon." "Why not hang with me instead? I want to talk to you actually." I wondered what he could possibly have to say to me. I have long since come to terms that I liked him, but I didn't want to get my hopes up. "I guess I can. I'll just-" Hyunjoon took my phone and put it in the side of his pants. "Come on." I was confused as to why he did that, but I didn't have much time to dwell on it as he had taken my hand in his.
He paused underneath a tree then put his bag down. I followed suit and wondered what he possibly had planned. "Do you trust me?" "What kind of question is that? Of course I do, Joon." "Then let's do a trust fall." I stiffened. The old memory resurfaced and I was quick to step back. "So you don't?" "I do, it's just..." "What?" I never told anyone, not even Joon. I took a deep breath then figured it'd be okay to tell him now. "I...I did one with Younghoon once. He let me fall. I hit my head...Haknyeon showed me the video and there was a pool of blood around my head." Hyunjoon seemed surprised and I don't blame him for being so. It was quite the experience. "I promise, I'll catch you." I was really reluctant, but I did it anyway. He really did catch me. We switched places and I in turn caught him as well.
"So, what was the point of this?" "Because, without a strong foundation of trust, the relationship won't work." "Oh." I then realized what he had said. "R-Relationship...? Are you...?" He nodded then held my hands. "Will you do me the honor of dating me?" "Yeah...Yes." It happened so fast and all I could remember was the feel of his soft lips against mine and the eventual entrance of his tongue into my mouth. What I didn't know is what Hyunjoon had did while I wasn't looking.

I scrolled through my Twitter then heard something slam against the table I sat at. "Oh, Juyeon. I-" He slapped my phone out of my hands and it landed onto the floor with a clatter. Naturally I got upset and wondered why. "That was unnecessary." "Yeah? And so was calling me and rubbing it in my face! If you wanted me to back off, you could've just fucking said so!" I was confused. "Huh?" "Don't fucking play dumb with me. You purposefully set it up. I hope one of you fucking gets bad karma for this." He walked away, not without kicking my phone first. I felt eyes on me as I bent over to pick up my now cracked phone. Everyone had started murmuring and I couldn't stand it. I ran out of the dining hall.
My roommate entered the room then placed a container of fruit next to me. "I'm going to be hanging with friends, so you can have your alone time. Call me if you need me. There's water and juice in the fridge too." I didn't respond then heard the door close. I was humiliated in front of everyone. Our business was now known to everyone. It may just be a small fraction of the entire school population, but word travels quick. I would forever be known as the guy who fucked up or something like that. I heard a knock on the door and was reluctant to answer it. "Oh, Joon..." He didn't say anything and gave me hugs and kisses. I was happy to know that I didn't have to explain anything to him, but sad as word had already reached him before I could.
