She Told, Didn't She?

Junhee wasn't allowed to leave his room for two days, only for the washroom. He missed Monday and Tuesday of school and was finally allowed out of his room Wednesday. His knees were still sore and badly bruised, he had a black eye, and he thinks he has a concussion. He has a constant raging headache and when he looks left it's all blurry, and for the last two days he's been vomiting nonstop. He was still forced to go to school, his mother drove him to the school and watched him enter then drove off.

Junhee stood at his locker when his friends came up to him and greeted him happily. "Junhee! Where were yo- oh," Hoseok's smile dropped when he saw Junhee's eye. "Your mom told your dad, didn't she?" Hoseok asked in a small voice. Junhee nodded grabbing his books and pencil case then shut his locker. They all walked into class sitting close to one another, Junhee plopped down in his seat and groaned leaning his head on his hands.

"Do one of you guys have an Advil or something?" Junhee asked clutching his head. Youngjae got up and patted his back.

"I have some in my bag, do you need some water too?" Junhee nodded. Youngjae went to his locker and grabbed two Advils and his water bottle. He entered the classroom giving the tablets and water to Junhee. He took them and downed the tablets then gave Younjae his water bottle back.

Junhee had two classes left for the morning and they both were PE. He had double PE classes with Donghun. To say he was dreading it is an understatement, he was so nervous, he didn't know if Donghun would talk to him or ignore him. His head was pounding too, he didn't really feel like running and jumping around for over an hour. But Junhee still got changed for gym. Normally he just changed right where he was with the rest of the boys. But he had some bruises on his torso and back so he changed in a stall. On his way out he bumped into a shirtless Sehyoon, he apologized and made his way to the exit only to be pulled back. "Talk with Donghun, please," Sehyoon pleaded.

Junhee rolled his eyes. "I've got nothing to say to him," Sehyoon rubbed his face.

"Just apologize or something. I've never seen him drink so much in my life. He's sleeping with anything that walks on two legs. What the fuck did you say or do to him for him to be acting like this? He's not even eating, Junhee," Junhee furrowed his eyebrows he's doing all of that all because I said I hate him?

"If he's upset I hate him then that's his problem. It's not my fault he's drinking, not eating, and sleeping with everyone, he made those decisions by himself," Junhee turned on his heels and left.

He entered the gym and saw Donghun leaning against the wall flirting with the foreign exchange student; Jordan. She didn't react to Donghun flirting, she walked away not wanting to be bothered anymore. Jordan was very beautiful, she wasn't Junhee's type, but he was able to admit she was breathtaking. Junhee stood by the stage in the gym and looked at Jordan, if I liked girls I'd have a crush on her- wait, what? No, I like girls. I have to Junhee silently panicked and speed-walked out of the gym careful not to disturb his headache even more. He got some water from the fountain then went back to the gym.

"Junhee, you're late. 25 burpees," their gym teacher said marking Junhee down as late.

"I was just getting some wat-"

"Make that 30 burpees," Mr. Shin sighed. Junhee sighed and started doing the burpees. His head started to pound even harder on the first one, getting worse and worse.

"Coach, he really was just here. Just as he left for water you walked in," Taehyung told Mr. Shin, defending Junhee. Mr. Shin raised an eyebrow.

"Do you want to join him in 30 burpees, Mr. Kim?" Mr. Shin asked. Taehyung stood over by Junhee and started the burpees.
