spoiled brat
chenle shuffled down the hall, head down and tears filling his eyes. the whispers were even worse today - jisung was practicing for a dance performance taking place the next weekend, so he couldn't hide behind his boyfriend or find comfort in him
"he's just a spoiled brat! i bet park jisung is only with him for the reputation" his heart stopped. he turned on his heel and ran to the stairway section, rushing upstairs and crying his heart out as he stumbled into the second year block
"chenle?" he paused in his tracks, wiping his tears and sniffing as he came face to face with renjun
the elder rushed over to him, holding the younger's hands in his
"what's wrong lele?" renjun asked gently, the boy only crying harder, hugging renjun tightly and sobbing into his shoulder
renjun's own eyes watered, and he pulled chenle back to the stairway and up towards the roof
chenle could only cry quietly, tripping up over his feet
"shouldn't you be in lessons injunnie?" renjun stopped in his tracks, finding minhyung and one of his friends on the roof
"lele.." renjun began, pulling chenle over to the pair and sitting down
"what's happening le?" minhyung asked kindly, renjun by his side wiping the younger's tears with his thumbs
"i wanna move schools.." chenle sniffled, bursting into tears yet again
"are people being mean?" renjun asked, chenle nodded and leaned his head on his shoulder "any specific people..?"
"everyone!" chenle cried "all they say is how i'm spoiled and i only got accepted because my parents paid for my place-" he paused, hicupping "i don't even have a dad.. they don't know anything about me.."
"does jisung know about this?"
"kind of.. only what he hears.."
"so they only get worse when he's not around?" he nodded sadly, head now settled on renjun's lap
"i hate it here.."
"do you want me to do something about it?" jaemin asked, "my cousin is in your year and when his boyfriend was being bullied it stopped pretty quick" he shrugged
"who's your cousin?"
"jung sungchan" chenle sat up, blinking away his tears
"sungchan? i thought he was excluded a few days ago.." jaemin frowned
"that little shit"
"who's been bullying zhong chenle?!" the cafeteria doors slammed open and a first year walked in, a frown on his face "if i don't get every single person who's said any bad word to him you're all dead!" he yelled, eyes glowing red
"you didn't have to go that far.." chenle laughed nervously, sungchan ruffled his hair
"anybody who hurts people i know gets the worst i can do" he shrugged, turning around to face jaemin and smiling nervously "i didn't do anything - it was a misunderstanding" his cousin rolled his eyes
"it better be"
"it was!!"
chenle pouted, jisung had finished all his dance practice for the week and they finally had time to meet, but the younger scolded him for not telling him just how bad he had been bullied
"i'm the one who stopped injunnie's bullies! i don't care what they say - i want you to be happy"
"they said.. about you.." jisung paused
"something about me? what did they say babe?" he took his boyfriend into his arms "whatever it is - it isn't true, okay?"
"they said.. you're only with me because i'm rich.." the smaller whispered, tears glossing over his eyes
"baby.. i'd never even consider being with you for anything other than you. i love you for you, for who you are - your voice, your smile, how you love to cuddle because you get cold easily.. i love everything you are" jisung spoke quietly, as if the words would be poisoned if anybody else possibly heard
"i. love. you. i love you so much zhong chenle.." he smiled, kissing away the tears dotted on chenle's cheeks
"you mean everything to me"
