The Scent of Your Blood

Chapter 23

When Hongjoong walked into his first class, he was caught by surprise when Yunho engulfed him in a bone-crushing hug.

"Yunho?"

"I'm so glad you're alright! I talked to Mingi and was going to call you but he said you were fine after he had stayed with you for most of the day, which was kind of him."

Hongjoong smiled.

"Yeah, I'm sure Mingi already told you what happened." The older male felt sick to his stomach when he thought about the incident that occurred yesterday.

"Ugh, if that asshole tries anything like that again, I'll snap his dick," Yunho pouted and his eyebrows furrowed. Hongjoong giggled at his protective friend.

Some people gave the two men weird glances as they walked into class but the tall male sent them a look that pretty much read "mind your goddamn business."

"Has Mingi told you anything else?" Hongjoong asked as he pulled away from the hug, looking up at the taller man.

"No, he only said what happened with Minjun, that's all." Hongjoong nodded and made his way to the back of the class. "Was he supposed to tell me something else?" Yunho asked as he followed his friend.

"No, no. Nothing, it's fine."

They sat down and continued talking, then someone walked in which shocked Hongjoong. Yunho looked up when he saw that his friend's attention was elsewhere. Minjun walked over to a seat and sat down before looking around the room, his eyes catching Hongjoong's.

"I thought he would've been thrown in jail, why the fuck is he here? Also, Mingi did a number on his face, he looks even uglier now," Yunho was death glaring Minjun who smirked at them. He turned around and talked to a girl that was sat beside him. Hongjoong sighed.

"I bet his dad bailed him out. He probably convinced the police that I was lying and that his son would never do anything like that, fucking cunt," He hopes he doesn't have to put up with that dickhead today. Hongjoong groaned in annoyance. He highly doubted that his wish would come true.

Why was life so hard on him? This was bullshit.

"Did you guys see Minjun's face? Someone beat the shit out of him and I love whoever did it," Jongho laughed before taking a bite of his food and Mingi proudly smiled.

"That was me."

The youngest choked and Yeosang patted his back.

"You did that? Holy shit, nice one."

The two high-fived and Hongjoong smiled.

"But why did you do it? Was he annoying Hongjoong-hyung again?" Wooyoung asked with furrowed eyebrows as he looked at the oldest and everyone looked at him.

"He...he almost raped me yesterday." Within seconds of hearing that, Jongho was out of his chair and Yeosang quickly grabbed his boyfriend.

"Hey, calm down."

"Let me go so I can add more bruises to his annoying face," Jongho growled.

Yeosang successfully pulled him back into his seat.

"Mingi has taken care of it, so relax," Yeosang kissed his boyfriend on the cheek and the younger's cheeks turned red, a dopey smile growing on his lips. Hongjoong giggled at the two and Wooyoyung grinned as he muttered a, "whipped" under his breath.

"You seem quite calm after what happened, hyung," San said.

"To be honest, I don't know how to react after what he did to me," Hongjoong stated as he played with his food.
