"Okay." (Bbangnyu) ☑️

c

Juyeon didn't know what to do. He felt the guilt creeping up on him. He knew what Bona had done, and he had seen Younghoon and Chanhee suddenly become distant from each other. He knew the right thing to do was to tell the truth, even if it was a difficult decision.

He shifted his weight from one foot to another as he nervously waited for Younghoon to arrive. He had asked Younghoon to meet him in the library after classes ended, because he needed to tell him something, and Younghoon had reluctantly agreed.

"You wanted to talk to me?" Younghoon said as he arrived.

"Yeah," Juyeon replied, glancing around to make sure that Bona wasn't watching, "let's go outside."

Younghoon shrugged and followed him out of the library.

Juyeon sat down against a wall at the side of the building, where he knew that no one would see them. Younghoon sat down a few feet away.

"So... Uhh... You've seen that video of Chanhee right?"

Younghoon nodded.

"Yes. Why?"

"Well.. I.. um... I'm the other guy in the video."

Younghoon just stared at him. He tried to act like he didn't care, but really he did, and learning that Juyeon of all people was the other person in the video... it hurt even more.

"Okay? Did you bring me here to boast?"

"No no no- I- What you saw in that video... it's not what you think."

"Look, I don't care what you have to say about it, I know what I saw-"

"I forced him."

"What?"

"It was Bona's idea... Chanhee is scared of me and I.. took advantage of that."

"What the fuck?"

"I know, it's horrible and I shouldn't have done it, I just... I just did whatever Bona told me to do. I'm not trying to justify what I did, I just wanted you to know that none of this is Chanhee's fault. I've noticed that you've stopped talking to him, and that's exactly what Bona wants - she ruins everything for Chanhee. Just... don't let her ruin it for you guys."

Younghoon needed a moment to take in all this new information. There were so many confused thoughts flying around his brain all at once.

"Why are you telling me this? And why should I believe you?"

"What would I get from lying about something like this? I'm telling you that I'm the asshole here, and not Chanhee. And if Bona finds out I told you thi-"

"Ehem." Standing in front of them, Bona cleared her throat.

"Bona-"

"Shut up Juyeon. Let's go." She was furious.

"No."

Bona glared at him angrily.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm sick of just doing everything you say. You're not the girl I liked anymore, you're a horrible person, and I've finally realized that. I'm breaking up with you."

Bona threw one last dirty look at him before storming away.

It all made sense to Younghoon now. He needed to apologize to Chanhee as soon as possible. Chanhee had gone through something so traumatic and what had Younghoon done? Ignored him and blamed him for it. He felt awful. After speaking to Juyeon, he immediately left for Chanhee's dorm to apologize.

He hesitated outside the door for a second, building up the courage to knock and thinking about what he was going to say. He knocked tentatively and then stood back from the door, nervously shuffling from one foot to another.

After a few moments, the door opened, revealing a pale looking Chanhee. He looked ill and his eyes were red and puffy. When Chanhee saw who was at the door, he almost flinched at the sight of Younghoon. Here he was, having tried to stop thinking about Younghoon all day, and now Younghoon had decided to show up at his dorm. It almost set the tears off again.

"W-What do you want?" Chanhee mumbled.

"To apologize."

Chanhee stared at him, confused.

"Juyeon came to me and told me the truth about that video. I'm so sorry for-"

"Stop." Chanhee cut him off.

"Chanhee I really am so-"

"I saw you and Changmin the other night."

Younghoon was taken aback. He didn't know what Chanhee was talking about.

"Me and Changmin... Which night? What were we doing?"

"Don't p-pretend. I saw you. Kissing. You were all over each other." Chanhee was struggling to hold back tears.

Younghoon suddenly remembered the night he had been drunk. He didn't really remember much other than just wanting to forget about Chanhee. He definitely did not remember kissing Changmin.

"I..." Younghoon started. "I need to go talk to Changmin. I'll come back."

Chanhee just closed his door and went back inside.

-

"Changmin! Ji Changmin!"

Younghoon was practically banging on the door.

After a while, Changmin appeared at the door.

"What? I was playing a game."

"What happened the night I was drunk?" He asked bluntly.

Changmin's face went red.

"W-What do you mean? Nothing happened."

"Are you sure?" Younghoon persisted.

"Of course, why?"

"Did you kiss me?"

Changmin looked at him like a deer caught in headlights.

"N-No, of course not! I wouldn't do that!"

"Chanhee said he saw us."

"Ch-Chanhee? Why were you talking to Chanhee?"

"Don't try to change the subject."

"I... he's... he's lying! He just wants you to himself!" Changmin was desperate.

"Changmin, stop it. I know you did. And I also know that Bona told you to show me that video."

"He- He cheated on you!"

"No he didn't. He was forced."

Changmin hadn't known that. He suddenly felt horrible.

"He was?"

"He was. And you thought it was okay to show me a video of it."

Changmin suddenly broke. He burst into tears.

"I- I didn't know he was f-forced! I thought he really was playing you! I'm so sorry I- Please tell him I'm sorry! I... You've probably figured this out already but... I l-like you. I have for a long time. So I saw an opportunity and I just... it was stupid I'm so sorry."

Younghoon felt sorry for him all of a sudden.

"Changmin... I like Chanhee."

"I know you do. I'm sorry for trying to ruin that."

Younghoon started to make his way back from the door.

"I need to talk to Chanhee. I'll... see you later I guess."

Changmin gave him a sad smile and waved before closing his door.
