"Who the fuck is he!?"

"Xiao, baby, listen I'm n—"

"Shut up! Just shut up! If you want to be such a slut then we're over—go fuck whoever you want Hendery!"

Jungwoo let out as small whine as he pushed himself up off of Lucas's chest, trying to figure out what all this yelling was about.

"Baby—It's not what you think, I love you."

Xiaojun ripped his arm out of Hendery's grasp, "It doesn't matter who the hell you love! I saw your phone—I saw it! I trusted you, Hendery. I trusted you with my heart—my body!"

At this point, Lucas was wide awake as well. He was sitting up next to Jungwoo attempting to make their words understandable. "Guys—what's going on?"

Looking up, the eldest in the room finally noticed the tears streaming down Xiaojun's cheeks as he rummaged through the room, taking things that were probably his.

"Xioajun—"

"I hope you made the right decision. I hope you can be happy with this new boy." The boy spat before walking out of the dorm, slamming the door behind him.

The two on the bed looked at each other knowingly, "You're stuck with Hendery, I'll go get Xioajun," Jungwoo said before hopping off the bed.

After slipping his shoes on, he hurried out of the room to see Xiaojun leaning against the wall, bawling his eyes out. "Xioajun...sweety, what happened?"

The younger slid down the wall, pulling his knees up to his chest before hiding his face. "He..."

Jungwoo on the floor next to him and put an arm around the trembling boy. "How about we just try to breathe a little first?"

Doing quite the opposite, Xiaojun let out a loud sob before leaning into the elder's embrace. "I—I love him...loved h—him!"

"I know baby, I know you love him." Letting the boy get get everything out, Jungwoo just rubbed his back gently.

"I tr...trusted him! He lied to me!" His voice was quiet and shaky, yet it felt like he was yelling. "Was I not good enough...is that w—why he wanted somebody else?"

"Somebody else—did that dumbass cheat on you?" Jungwoo asked, completely unaware of the situation.

Two tears raced down Xiaojun's cheeks before he nodded, "I—I saw their texts—they were so...so d—dirty. I let him take my virginity, Jungwoo—and he b—broke my trust."

Jungwoo tightened his grip on the boy and pressed a small kiss to the top of his head. "Xiaojun, you're more than enough. You are the sweetest, cutest boy I've ever met, he doesn't deserve you. This isn't your fault, men are disgusting and you can't blame yourself."

"It just h—hurts..." the boy whimpered.

He nodded, "I know, hun. I'll walk you back to your dorm, okay?"

"Can you hold my hand on the way?"

A small smile formed on Jungwoo's face when he saw how embarrassed the boy was to ask that. "Of course I'll hold your hand."

✨✨✨

"Not to be rude, but what the hell!" Jungwoo said loudly as he barged into Lucas and Hendery's dorm.

"I ju—"

"Hey! You don't have talking privileges while in timeout!" Lucas yelled, cutting the youngest off.

When Jungwoo looked up he laughed at the sight. Hendery was in the corner of the room sitting in a chair that was facing the wall.

"I'm not a child Lucas!"

The taller boy rolled his eyes, "If you want to act like a child, then I'm going to treat you like one." He walked over to Jungwoo and smiled at him, "How's Xiaojun?"

The elder shrugged, "I left him with his roommate because he asked me to. He seemed really nice, I think his name was Kun? Anyway Xiaojun was a mess earlier...he's blaming himself."

"I forced Hendery to explain himself...apparently he's been cheating with this boy for months."

Jungwoo's eyes widened. "Months...months!?" He turned towards Hendery, "Me and Lucas have to go to class...but you know who's free to make sure you stay in time out? Sicheng."

"No! No, not Sicheng!" Hendery screeched, flailing his arms like a toddler throwing a fit over a toy. "He's scary!"

"Well too bad! I have to go dance!" He yelled back at the same time there was a small knock on the door.

Lucas opened the door and Sicheng stomped into the room, "Can I beat his ass!? I've known my baby Xiaojun since day one when I was his tour guide—and you broke his heart."

"Xuxi I'm scared!" Hendery yelled in chinese.

"I'm chinese idiot!" Sicheng yelled back in his first language. If it wasn't such horrible circumstances, it would've been nice to speak Chinese again.

Tiptoeing over Jungwoo, Lucas gently grabbed his arm. "Let's slip out while they're busy," he whispered, although it was quite hard to hear over the yelling.

"That was not how I expected to spend the morning," Jungwoo mumbled once they were further down the hallway, Sicheng's yelling still just a bit audible in the background.

"Yeah I'm sorry about that."

There were a couple seconds of silence before he reached down and grabbed Lucas's hand, interlocking their fingers. "It's not your fault, Yukhei. Don't apologize."

"You're so cute," The younger boy said under his breath in chinese, under the impression that Jungwoo had no idea what he was saying

It wasn't uncommon for Lucas to switch to his first language, or compliment the boy next to him in a language he thought he couldn't understand. What he didn't know was that Jungwoo's parents forced him to take chinese lessons because it would widen his career path in the future.

Every single time Lucas did that, he had to play dumb and try to hide the blush on his cheeks. But this time he didn't want to pretend he didn't understand. "I think you're cute too."

The taller boy froze, a look of utter horror on his face. "I—uh—You speak Chinese?" 

"Yeah..." Jungwoo's eyes were fixed on the sidewalk, scared that he might have just messed everything up.

"But...I—I say stupid stuff thinking you don't understand me!" There was a pout on Lucas's face, embarrassed that the boy understood everything this whole time.

"It's fine Xuxi. I have to get to class, see you later!" Jungwoo turned around and blew Lucas a kiss before running off in the direction of his class.
