Jaebum joked with his friends any time he got a chance. But that didn't stop him from noticing the empty spaces that Youngjae used to fill throughout the day.

He tried his best to ignore them as much as he possibly could but honestly how could he?

How could he ignore someone that was once part of his daily routine?

He even found himself spacing out during group conversations, replaying the moment he kicked the younger out of his bedroom. To see his face sadden so quickly hurt his heart, but he had to remember how angry Youngjae made him at the time.

What did Youngjae want to make out of him? Why did he constantly try even if he knew things wouldn't work out?

And fuck, why does he cry all the time?

Jaebum could think of all of these things all day rather than admitting to missing the younger. He'd replace every heartwarming memory with the simple fact that without Youngjae, all of the people he toyed around with could do the job just fine.

All of this, when in reality they couldn't. Sex could give all of the gratification in the world but nothing could compare to the love that he needed.

But none of this truth mattered to Jaebum. He swept his longing feelings under the rug as he figured it wasn't adding to him or his clout. So why did it matter?

"So, did you fuckers figure out who you're bringing to the dance?".

Jooheon proclaimed whilst kicking his feet up in the library lounge.

"Slow down loverboy we have months until that damn dance". Kris scolded.

"Besides it's not like you have anyone to bring with your lonely ass". Wonpil chuckles, providing the group with laughter.

"Guys let's not worry I'm sure Jaebum can spare one of his man whores for Jooheon". Shownu adds while Jaebum waves him off chuckling.

"Speaking of man whores how do you think slutjae is—".

All eyes rested upon the Vice Principal as he approached Suspiciously with two school security guards at his side. Bewildered at its finest, the group gulped hard. They began to think long and hard about everything they had done, but only to come to the conclusion that no one had never found out about anything.

At least they hoped they didn't.

"Can I please see Lee Jooheon in my office for a moment?".

All heads snapped to the younger who looked as if he was ready to burst into tears. This ignited anger in the crew as they hated him for being the crybaby of the bunch when it came down to things such as this.

Shownu gave a stern glance at Jooheon, signaling for him to get his shit together before he went in and talked to anyone.

But it was hard to have your shit together when you're Lee Jooheon. The room was cold and silent yet deadly. The atmosphere intensified as soon as they advised him to sit down. His heart rate ascended and he felt himself began to sweat.

The principal looked him the eyes while folding his hands.

"Don't worry about your friends in here Jooheon. I want you to be completely honest with me".

The younger nodded his head anxiously.

"What do you know about the nude pictures of Choi Youngjae?".

"They were taken by some snooping kid. I had nothing to do with them sir".

"Are you sure you and your friends had nothing to do with the snapping of these photos Jooheon?".

With anxiety eating him alive, he instantly thought about the good relationship the principal held with his father. And if Jooheon got in any kind of trouble at school he knew he was done for.

" I know nothing about the snapping of these photos. I can only speak for myself sir".

"And by saying that are you saying that there can be a possibility of your friends being involved in this?".

He swallowed.

"Jooheon I need to know the facts. These nude photos of Choi Youngjae were leaked not too long ago. This is a very serious crime and the culprit needs to be found. Do you know anyone that has any type of connection to Choi Youngjae? I need names.".

"Sir I, I have nothing to do with any of this. I don't speak to Youngjae much and I'm not really involved much in the relationship drama my friends deal with—-".

"Jooheon beating around the bush will just make me even more suspicious. Tell me what you know. I need names".

He shouldn't say anything. The rest will kill him. But he couldn't risk this. His father already wasn't impressed with his academics. But What the rest doesn't know won't hurt them.

"What the hell do you think is going on with Jooheon?". Taemin asks.

"If that little shithead snitches on any of us he's a dead man". Wonpil asserted.

"I wouldn't put it passed him. You know how Jooheon acts when he's nervous". Shownu assures.

"That gives him no reason to rat anyone out". Jaebum chimed in.

"How about we all just chill the fuck out, we don't know what's going on in there. This could be something Jooheon got himself into".
Sehun interjects.

"And what exactly would Jooheon's scary ass be getting himself into?". Kris rebuttals.

——————

"I shouldn't say any of this, but they all make sexual bets on guys in school. Many who they deem easy or hard to get. The hard to get ones are the ones that give them the most recognition so they often go for them. I don't partake in any of this..".

"And what else? What does Choi Youngjae have to do with this?".

"Youngjae's name was mentioned".

"By?".

"Wonpil and Sehun".

"And was the sexual bet made and actually executed?".

"Yes".

"And the participants were Wonpil and Sehun?".

"Yes".

"Good. Thank you for this, Jooheon. I'm sure your father will be glad to know that you don't participate in such acts".

Giving back just a simple head nod and fake smile, the younger was ushered out of the office. He'd like to think that he felt some type of relief while doing so but he didn't.

His anxiety magnified as he awaited for the catastrophe that was bound to take place.
