Seungmin's POV

"Seungmin I swear this is a bit too far now."

I look up to see my friend Jisung. We we're in the rooftop now along with my other friends. Nerds aren't really welcome in the cafeteria. Once you go inside, consider yourself lucky if you didn't get spaghetti sauce in your clothes once you get out.

"Hyung's right. Did he even consider  your feelings?" Jeongin said while playing with his lunch.

"Come on guys, it's fine. As long as we're both happy seeing each other and that it doesn't ruin his reputation, everything's fine."

"Pfft. Reputation my ass." A deep voice suddenly said. We turned to look at Felix who was casually fiddling with his phone.

"Woah dude language. Jeongin is present." Jisung exclaimed and covered Jeongin's ear who complained saying 'I'm already old enough to know swears!'.

"What? I'm just telling the truth" he shrugged "Entering this relationship, he should know the consequences. He knows he's butt popular and having a relationship with a nerd- no offense Min- meaning a lot of people are gonna go against it. Especially his fangirls. I mean, they would go crazy if they found out that their 'Hyunjin-oppa' is in a relationship with a nerd who's also a guy." He explained

It is true. Even I was shocked when Hyunjin asked me out. I didn't answer him right away. With the thought that he might be playing with me. But he still proved himself..secretly. He would casually slip cute notes in my locker and place food or flowers in my desk without anyone knowing. Then slowly, my feelings for him started to grow even more and I answered him.

"Then..what should I do Lix? I hate to admit but I am also getting tired of it."

"Make him choose. His reputation or you." Felix said, seriousness evident in his deep voice.

"C-choose? Between m-me and his- his reputation?! Are you crazy?!" I lightly shouted, shocked with what I heard. No way he's choosing me over his reputation. If he did, we wouldn't be in this situation.

"It's up to you Seungmin. As your friends, we just think that this relationship is toxic for the both of you." Jisung said putting a hand on my shoulder.

"I...I-I'll think about it.." I whispered quietly, looking down.

"Good. We're sorry if you think we're just doing this because we're mad at you or something. We're only doing this for your safety." Felix hugged me, then Jeongin and Jisung joined the hug, comforting me as if I was about to cry. It's kinda nice to be honest. We rarely have serious talks, especially Felix. It's a bit weird not seeing him being his usual meme-y self, dabbing and dancing to fortnite every now and then.

We let go of the hug and went to our classes.

Will I be able to do this....??
