"I won't help you with it" Beomgyu said while throwing his fists on the table.

"And why not? Oh, come on, Beom!" i supplicated, as embracing his shoulders, dramatically.

"What if you use this information to killl him? I can't take the risk, hyung, Soobin's a really good seatmate" he uttered, rising an eyebrow at me, suspiciously.

"I'm telling you, we have a date tomorrow evening, why can't you just believe me?" i grunted, throwing my head back.

"Because this is a little unbelievable itself" he shrug his shoulders.

"If you doubt me, go ask him yourself" i growled, impatient.

"There's no need, i'm just messing with you" he smirked amusingly at me.

This annoying brat, i swear... 

"So, this means you're coming out?" Beomgyu asked, eyeing me. 

"Who's coming out?" Taehyun's voice emerged, as the boy sat in front of us.

"Yeonjun" he replied, leaving me with an blank expression.

"It was supposed to be me giving the good news, jerk" i blurted out, rolling my eyes before smacking his head.

"Really, hyung? That's so cool, i'm proud of you" the youngest gave me a sweet smile, which i returned.

"Yes, he's taking Soobin on a date tomorrow" Beomgyu said, wiping out his fake tears "Our Yeonjun is growing so damn fast!" 

"I'm older than you, so fuck off" i scowled at him

"I'd be careful if i was you, little man... Your whole date depends on me now" he warned me, mischieviously.

"As far as i heard, Soobin hyung has a really impressive reputation around here" Taehyun pointed out, seeming to ignore our bickering "Are you ok with going out with such an outstanding person? I mean, it might put you into spotlight, hyung, and we all know you hate it"

I parted my lips to say something a few times, but nothing came out. I knew about the rumours that circulated around me and my personality, but none of them were really that bothersome before, not until Soobin came to the topic. What if our meetings troubles him in school? Am i really dignified to be around him? 

"Why does it matter? Soobin agreed on going out with you, and you're obviously into him, it's not like it is somebody else's business." Beomgyu intervened, rolling back his eyes at me "If it leaves you with a smile on your face, what the world thinks shouldn't matter... You were the one who taught me it, remember?"

I nodded, smiling endearly at the boys in front of me. They were right, i should consider both sides: the fact that i was head over hills for Soobin and on the other hand, that i hated attention the most, and it would be all i get since i was near him. 

"Just do what you feel the most comfortable with, hyung" Taehyun shrugged his shoulders, munching on his sandwich.

I chuckled at his usual indifferent behaviour, while Beomgyu kept on fiddling with his fingers as if he was in deep thought. I knew he eventually would give me what i was asking for, but the impatience was starting to take over my mood, and the moment i snorted at him, he suddenly spoke up:

"Ok, ok... I'll send you the address, but you better treat that boy right, heard me?" he pointed me a finger, catching me off guard at his sudden outburst.

"And why are you telling me this?" i hissed, Beomgyu really got on my nerves when acting like this, and he knew it.

"He's such a sweetheart and looks really delicate" he beamed, taking a sip on Taehyun's ice tea "Which is the opposite of you, hyung"

"You truly hate me, don't you? I got this" i breathed heavily while gathering my food tray "Thank you for the address, and... Oh, Taehyun? You're really smart, which is clearly the opposite of Beomgyu"

I could hear his grumblings from afar, as i took some distance from the cafeteria, but when my phone buzzed and on the notification bar there was a street's name, i just knew my plan worked.

I had Soobin's address, and instantaneously an anxious feeling tightened my chest...Man, this is not even my first date, so why i'm acting like this?

That dreadful aura around me suddenly disappeared by that time, but every now and then i could still feel that sense of loss taking over me.

"Spacing out again?" the feminine voice caught my attention as i was making my way back to the classroom.

Please, not another round of me trying to be as nice as i can with his annoying girl...
