"That's none of your business, Im Jaebum." Jinyoung snapped, pushing himself off the lockers as he tried to leave. Jaebum let out a cold laugh and gently pushed Jinyoung against the lockers again.

"Of course it's my business, we're supposed to be mates." Jaebum narrowed his eyes at Jinyoung, almost rolling his eyes when Jinyoung let out a loud sigh.

"Yeah but you don't want me..." Jinyoung said, immediately regretting ever opening his mouth when he saw the look Jaebum was giving him.

"... and I don't want you." Jinyoung quickly added, ignoring the tug at his heart when he saw Jaebum's eyes flash with hurt for a split second.

"That doesn't mean that you have to get mated to anyone else, that's against mate laws." Jaebum tried to explain, not wanting to see too desperate.

"Jaebum, there are no laws." Jinyoung rolled his eyes at Jaebum's dramatic act.

"It doesn't matter, you're my mate. Wether we like it or not, now tell me why the fuck you're getting mated to someone else." Jaebum finally snapped, causing Jinyoung to slightly flinch at his tone.

"Explain." Jaebum tried again, his voice full of threat that had Jinyoung's knees going weak.

"Jaebum, please calm down." Jinyoung tried again, but to no avail. Jaebum was storming down the hallway, his angry chin out with smoke practically coming out of his ears.

"You expect me to calm down after hearing this, your parents have no rights to do that." Jaebum spit out, shrugging Jinyoung's grip off.

"Why do you even care? You said that you didn't like me." Jinyoung almost yelled, effectively stopping Jaebum in his tracks. Jinyoung breathed out hard, a little scared of what Jaebum might do.

"Do you not want my help? You really want to get mated to a random dude?" Jaebum's asked, turning around to face Jinyoung, who seemed at a lost for words.

"Have you ever even considered what would happen to me if you were to get mated to someone else, eternal pain? Not everything is about you, Jinyoung." Jaebum said, venom lacing his voice. Jinyoung blinked back tears, he was not gonna cry in front of Jaebum.

"Maybe it's time for you to stop being selfish, don't you think? My world doesn't revolve around you, I'm trying to help myself." Jaebum continued, giving Jinyoung a hateful look before turning around and storming off.

"Not everything's about me." Jinyoung whispered to himself, letting a tear fall as he fell to his knees, his legs being to weak to keep him up.

Jinyoung could feel a full on crying session coming up, he reached for his phone to call Mark, but slowly retracted it.

"Not everything's about me." Jinyoung whispered to himself again, sitting down and letting his back rest against the lockers before bringing his knees up to his chest, wrapping his arms around them and bringing his head down to rest on top of them.

"Why would you say that to him? That's really fucked up, even for you." Jackson said, shaking his head and picking up his drink to take a sip of it.

"I don't know. I feel like I really fucked up, even though I don't care about him." Jaebum sighed, resting his head on the palm of his hand.

"Oh please, you guys are mates, obviously you're gonna feel some sort of attachment." Jackson scoffed, almost choking on his drink in the process.

"I guess you're rig-" Jaebum started but stopped when Jackson abruptly stood up.

"Of course I'm right, why does it feel like I'm smarter then the two smartest kids in school?" Jackson asked, slamming his hand on the table and earning a few looks from people.

"Sit down, people are starting to stare." Jaebum mumbled, urging Jackson to sit down.

"Hello? I'm Jackson Wang, people were already staring at me to begin with." Jackson cockily said, taking imaginary lint on his shirt and letting fall to the floor.

And all that Jaebum could do was shake his head and let guilt slowly eat him alive at the things he said to Jinyoung.

"He said what!?" Mark yelled, standing up from his bed, startling Jinyoung in the process.

"This is why I didn't want to tell you." Jinyoung whined, crossing his arms over his chest.

"No, you should've told me when we were in school so I could beat his ass." Mark said, his hands clutching tightly to become fists.

"Mark, you're literally a stick." Jinyoung said, trying to lighten the mood. If Jinyoung was being honest, it would probably be a close match in between Jaebum and Mark.

Mark cracked a smile but he covered it up immediately, not wanting to be happy right now.

"Whatever, next time I see him I'm gonna beat him up." Mark mumbled, sitting down on his bed again.

"I don't doubt that." Jinyoung mumbled to himself, he was scared for Jaebum.
