Jaehyun stood stiff in front of the bathroom mirror, while Johnny pep talks him. He was so nervous on what he was about to do, he held the rose to his beating chest.

"Now remember don't give in, we went through this"

"I got this, I'm going to dominate him and not let him get to my head"

"And what do we do when he ignores you?" Johnny turned the boy to face him.

"Make him face me and listen to me, and tell him how I feel and sorry I was"

"Good, you're ready, my brother" Johnny pushes Jaehyun out of the bathroom and follows behind him.

Jaehyun walked to where Taeyong was, the emptiness of the hallways gave him a breath of relief since Taeyong doesn't like the attention, and he knew he wasn't allowed to be near him. Yet, he's crossing that line.

He stopped when he found the room where Taeyong was at, he saw a glimpse of the boy writing while he sat on the table with no expression, the sunlight gentle illuminates his soft face and brown hair. He thought Taeyong hated pink hair, he thought maybe the pink hair reminded Taeyong of him.

Jaehyun was mesmerized, he stood in front of the door while watching at the boy gently moves paper around with a pen stuck between him slim fingers.

"Are you gonna go in or are you just gonna stare from afar?"

He snaps out of his trance when Johnny spoke before texting Ten again on his phone. He takes another big huff of air before opening the door slowly, gently enough for Taeyong to not notice.

Once he got it he closed the door which got the older's attention.

"You're not allowed in here, leave" Taeyong stared into the eyes of Jaehyun, which made him go stiff and nervous.

"I know, that's why I brought you this" Jaehyun composes himself again and placed the rose on Taeyong's desk.

Taeyong immediately slides the flower towards the bin close to him, Jaehyun's jaw fell on the floor. Taeyong stands up to move the table to the back of room, as he prepares to leave.

"I'm sorry, ok? I know what I did was so cowardly but what would you do if you were in my place at that time?" Jaehyun follows Taeyong and helped him carry the table.

"I would've probably lied and tell you what my boyfriend's psychotic mother threatened to do if I lied, maybe if you did that I could look at you and still like you" Taeyong grabs his bag and walks away.

Jaehyun grabs Taeyong by the bag and locks him in a hug, his arms firmly wrapped around Taeyong's shoulders and head.

"You changed your hair color"

"Let go of me" Taeyong tries to push himself out of Jaehyun, but he can't find the strength to hurt him.

"Answer me and then I'll let go of you, if you keep dyeing your hair, your hair might literally die" Jaehyun presses his cheek on the top of the older's head, inhaling the fragrance.

"I'd rather let that die then letting myself die slowly from seeing that fucking stupid pink hair that reminded me of you, now let go of me" Taeyong's voice slowly softens and his struggle to detach grew weary, he slowly rests on Jaehyun's shoulder and felt tear drops fall from his eyes.

Jaehyun closes his eyes as he never wants to let Taeyong go.

"Taeyong, would you forgive me?" Jaehyun removes the older's head from his shoulder, his face was ruined from the tears and the occasional sniffling.

He shakes his head as a 'yes' sign, Jaehyun uses his thumbs to wipe the tears that constantly falls all over the place. But even then, Taeyong looks ethereal even when he cries.

"Taeyong, do you love me?" Jaehyun whispers as he senses that Taeyong was calming down.

"I-I do" Taeyong lunges himself towards the latter and kisses him, letting his bag drop with a thud.

While Johnny was waiting outside the room, he sees Jeno walking towards him, he pops out his fake demeanor of being fond of Jeno's presence.

"Hyung, where's Taeyongie? I've been waiting for some time now?"

"Oh he's just finishing something" Johnny tried to hide the window panel of door.

Unfortunately, Jeno saw Taeyong and Jaehyun. He felt angry, he wanted to push Johnny away and take Taeyong away.

"Oh well then, see you back in the car" Jeno walks back but when he turned around his whole face drops from a smile to anger.

But an idea popped his head, he still has the box of photographs, maybe he can continue the plan without the help of Ten and he can finally get Taeyong to stay away from Jaehyun.

As Jeno builds his plan, a boy bumps into him. He almost cursed and saw the boy was none other than Jaemin, his friend.

"J-Jeno, what are you doing here?" Jaemin dusted his pants and couldn't contain his happiness.

Jaemin liked Jeno for a long time but he was too afraid to show it because when he heard Jeno liked Taeyong, he knew he already lost. He knows that Taeyong doesn't like Jeno but he also knew Jeno wouldn't stop until he gets Taeyong.

It all started from acting cute and clingy, to being almost obsessive. Jaemin would try to copy Taeyong's physical appearance, from starving himself and lately, dyeing his hair pink, just like Taeyong's old hair color.

"Nothing, just heading back to my ride" Jeno notices Jaemin's pink hair.

"Pink hair? All of a sudden?" Jeno asked.

"O-Oh yeah, wanted to try something different, do you like it? N-Not that I mean I dyed it for you or anything" Jaemin twirled a strand.

"Yeah, it looks cute, see you tomorrow"

Jaemin waves back and watches Jeno walk away.

"He called me cute"
