Chapter 3

Renjun walked by the hallway, Jaemin's not with him today.

He's with Heather.

"Yo Renjun!" Someone called.

"Hey Haechan." Renjun smiled.

"You're not with Jaemin today. That's weird." Haechan pointed out.

"He's with Heather." Renjun said voice becoming quieter at the end of the sentence. Haechan noticed the sudden tone Renjun is using and heard a familiar laugh.

It's Jaemin.

Holding hands with Heather.

"Are they together?" Haechan asked but he only received a frown from the boy.

"Is there something wrong?" Haechan asked but then again silence. Haechan looked at the two then back again at Renjun.

"Do you hate... Heather?" Haechan asked, Renjun looked at him with wide eyes.

"No! No no no. How could I hate her..?" Renjun defended.

'But I kinda wish she were dead.'

"Then Jaemin? Of course not. He's your best friend." Haechan said crossing his arms.

Renjun ignored Haechan, then looked at the two again.

Jaemin has putted his arms around Heather's shoulder, Renjun hugged himself feeling a bit cold.

"I like Jaemin..." Renjun said while looking down, tears slowly forming in his eyes. Haechan looked at him with sorrowful look on his face.

Renjun looked up again and saw both of them passing by.

"What a sight for sore eyes..." Renjun whispered.

"They're brighter than the blue sky...." He whispered again.

"She's got him mesmerized... while I... die..." Haechan pulled him towards a room and sat him down.

"Renjun... how long have you liked him?" Haechan asked.

"You can say It's love at first sight." Renjun answered looking down.

"Why didn't you tell him?"

"I'm scared..." At that Renjun finally bursts in tears, covering his face.

"It just hurts so bad, Haechan..." Haechan slowly went towards him and gave him a hug.

"Renjun... I don't know how to make you feel better, but it's the best if you tell him the truth. Sure it will hurt if he rejects you, but it'll hurt more if you keep it inside." Haechan comforts Renjun.

Renjun finally calmed down and is at the music club's room along with his other friends.

"Everyone listen up!" Called by the club's president, Doyoung.

"We're having a music festival next Wednesday, and all of us will perform, either you cover a song or you make one it doesn't matter.
As long as you perform.
Solo."
As Doyoung ended his speech Haechan looked back at Renjun.

"What will you sing?" Haechan asked.

"I'm making my own song." Renjun answered. Haechan nodded.

"And it's called 'heather'." Haechan looked at him with wide eyes.

"I'll confess to Jaemin."
