People like to talk, to gossip, to spread around whatever interesting thing they've heard. It didn't matter that they didn't know the full story, or if they don't even talk to the people involved. The moment someone heard of the drama, it spread like wildfire, even the hours of homework and stressfull test couldn't stop supposed adults to gossip.

The topic of everyone's conversation: Han Sera stole Shin Lilia's boyfriend, causing Lilia to leave the country. That Han Sera was a homewrecker.

"Did you know the BTS boys brokeup with Lilia?
"Lilia was so heartbroken that she left the country."
"Wasnt Sera and Lilia friends? Some friend Sera is."
"She looks innocent, always in the library, she was probably researching how to steal her friends boyfriend."
"Wow, I didn't think Sera had it in her."
"I'm telling you, Sera's a slut. I heard she rejected her soulmate to be with the BTS boys."
"Lets cancel Sera, why is a person like that even allowed in the university."
"Guess she got in because she spread her legs."
"Han Sera's such a slut, she has no respect for soulmates."

It doesn't bother me.

That was a lie.

I was most definitely bothered by the things I've heard, but I tried my hardest to ignore it. To not believe in their words, but it's been a few days since this gossiping started. I've all but secluded myself in my room, not being able to handle their stares or their whispers. There was a time I could just ignore it all, but my heart has been through so much, that I could not simply handle it anymore.

The boys have kept tabs on me, some inviting me to hang out with them or to just study together, but I've declined all of their invites because I just wanted to be alone. I only prayed that they haven't heard of the gossips. Desperately I tried to contact Baekhyun, to reach through him via phone, but he just wouldn't answer and all I needed right now is my best friend. To hear her comforting voice, his unusual compliments and reassurance, because he is the person I could rely on to never judge me, to know he truly knew the real me.

"Hey Baekhyunnie," I spoke in the phone, leaving a voicemail after another failed attempt, "I'm out of the hospital now, my arms still broken though, but I'm fine. I've heard you're spending your days at a bar. Don't be stupid and throw your grades away and come back to school...I miss you Hyunnie," My voice cracked and wavered slightly, a wave of tears threatening to fall as I quickly hung up the call.

Once again I was secluded in my room, Kimie left long ago for her own classes after making sure I was okay. She knew about the gossip, and comforted me and even offered to beat some people up. Of course, I told her I was fine, but she seemed doubtful but had to go to her own class and left me alone with the reassurance of ice cream later.

Deciding that I do need to eat something, I finally made the journey out of my room and into the kitchen where I began to scavenge throughout the pantry for food.

It wasn't even a few minutes after I left my room that I heard the doorbell ring, and I was reluctant to even walk to the door and check who it was.

However, when the knocking and ringing persisted. I grew annoyed and stomped over to the door and peeped through the hole. My heart stopped momentarily when I saw two very familiar and breathtaking figures, Jungkook and Jimin. A part of me still wanted to act like I wasn't home because I didn't know if I could handle them right now, but the other part me, just wanted to be with my soulmates and that was why I opened the door.
