Dear Hyunjin,
                        I am writing this letter to clear things up. I told you that I broke our friendship because you were against me, matchmaking and all, but that was just a story. Everything has a reason behind it right? So I lied to you. The real reason is different. To be honest I didn't tell you the truth because I was scared it would make you really mad. You wanna know the real reason?                                                                 
                  It was because of my mom. It's really long though. Hope you enjoy~
                 It all started when my mother first found my snack packets, that you bought for me after school. She used to ask me, 'Who gave you this?' and I replied, 'Hyunjin..' But she would always doubt me and say, 'Or is it a girl?' I denied the fact. Soon the questions started becoming really regular. But I chose to ignore her. Once you actually sent me fifty messengs because you were mentally disturbed but I didn't answer remember? That time my mother was shopping and I was at home. Since it's her phone, she had it with her and I couldn't reply back to you.

Yeah that day...Hyunjin was missing his grandmother so much, he needed some consolation. But that day when he had needed Seungmin the most, Seungmin had not answered any, instead just read it. Now it turned out to be his mother. It was nothing new and Hyunjin was just disappointed. Mrs. Kim always read the message but never replied, even if Hyunjin had sent it to Seungmin. The most annoying part was when she would block Hyunjin without Seungmin's knowledge. She said Hyunjin blew up the phone with messages.

Anyways when she returned home she scolded me a lot. She said we talked too much and chatted a lot. You used to get annoyed when I said that I didn't have a single message we exchanged in my phone right? But it was my mom, she always read and cleared the chat right after. I couldn't keep it even if I wanted to. Later in order to have some personal space for our conversation, I started clearing all the chat right after we said our good byes. Her irritating voice was still there, complaining about all the time we talked so much. And she never forgot to talk about the snacks. I was ignoring her just fine when one day she said, "You two talk to each other like love lovers!" I grew so red with anger I started quarrelling with her.                                            
             Soon things started to turn out worser. As the years passed by she started calling you a 'pussy,' and 'faggot.'  Now tell me which best friend doesn't get angry when his/her buddy is getting insulted by someone who you don't like much?                 
             That day when you sent me an audio saying that you cried a lot. I think that was the time you still had hope in me our friendship right? But I was not planning to make up until I heard it. My mother some how (probably eavesdropped) heard it and literally asked me if that voice was a girl's. I was so angry I told her about me breaking our friendship. She said she was relieved I did the right thing?! Like wtf bro. I wanted to make up with you right then and there but I  was afraid. Afraid of you. You have changed in no time and I know I'm to be blamed.         
             This letter, I'm writing this pretending like this is my diary I'm talking to with. So that I won't mess it up. It's so hard to talk to you face to face now a days too.                    
             I'm not saying this so that you can understand and we can get back together but...it's because I just want you to know the truth. My mother is the one I hate the most in this world. Please burn this paper or tear it off when you finish reading it because I don't want anyone to know that I hate my own mom.                                                                      
             I cut my arms and thighs always after a fight with her...before I just tried but I started to stop fearing death or pain. Because the pain in the heart is worse than the one on the outside so it doesn't hurt at all. I don't eat my food because I don't want to eat something she makes for me. I can cook on my own and have it! But honestly she is my every way. I like music, she is against it. I like Wonpil hyung, she said it was a small road that would eventually turn me into a gay. -_- . And there are more...               
             So,  this is what I want to say. This time she is forcing me to leave my passion but I'm not going to. I'm going to fight for it. I will make the right decision so I don't regret it later. I was forced to break my friend ship with the most loyal friend. Now, I don't want to have future regrets, even if being an idol means to leave home, I'm fine with it.             
                                                                                 
                                                            Your hatest,
                                                            Seungmin.

There was a small signature, Seungmin had signed on it. Hyunjin looked at his letter that was his reply and held it close to his bag's opening. Just then the bell rang indicating it was lunch. Hyunjin lazily pulled his lunch box. He would give Seungmin the reply when he would get some time alone with him. Little did he know Felix was looking at him from behind. As I said, Felix, Seungmin and their gay friend sat just behind Hyunjin.

->->->->->

The whole group ate in silence. After Seungmin was done he set off with Woojin to go for a walk around school, like he always did to avoid Hyunjin and to pass time till the bell rang. Little did Seungmin know what had been planned behind his and Hyunjin's back. When the first round of the school finished, with resulted the two friends in their same spot, they just spotted Felix. The freckled boy came forward and smiled at Seungmin. "You know, Hyunjin was talking shit about Wonpil hyung behind your back, like, 'Wonpil is like so eww, I don't know what the bastard sees in him.' He even said that Wonpil looked like a girl." He mimicked Hyunjin's dramatic ass.

Seungmin didn't have time to process everything and set the puzzle pieces together and that all of them were so quiet today but he felt really angry. If Hyunjin was angry he could talk shit about Seungmin but not someone who Seungmin cared for. It had nothing to do with Hyunjin. Seungmin knew Hyunjin had started hating Wonpil when they broke ties but talking behind Seungmin's back was too much.

"Where is he?" Seungmin asked through gritted teeth. "Woojin's class room, he is hiding probably, when I told him that I would tell you what he had just said." Seungmin was angry. Like a lot. Be stomped off towards the class room with Felix and Woojin following suit behind him. Minho and Jisung were looking inside through the window but no one was there in the class room. Seungmin figured that Hyunjin must be hiding and stormed inside.

When he did that Felix looked at everyone and whispered, "The plan is working. Just wait for the right time okay?" Everyone gave sly smirks and nodded.

Felix looked at Seungmin who was now pulling Hyunjin's leg when he was trying to curl deeper into the table inorder to escape. But Seungmin had pulled him out, even though Hyunjin was stronger than Seungmin, but remember, anger can turn people blind. Seungmin grabbed Hyunjin's collar and said through gritted teeth, "What did you just say about Wonpil Hyung?"--
