"Jaemin!", Jihye entered the toilet. She didn't even care that it was the male's toliet, all she was thinking about at the time was about her twin and his condition.

"Oh no...Jaemin", she came and gave him a hug, patting his back as he continued sobbing.

"Coming back from being sick and now the school is coming up with bullshit, who even started this?", Donghyuck gripped his hair in frustration, hating to see his friend like that.

"It's alright, Jaemin. Please...", Jihye spoke softly.

"I-I did nothing, you know that right?", Jaemin stuttered, choking on his sobs.

"Yes, we believe you Jaemin. We do"

Together with Jihye, the other four boys tried to comfort him until Jaemin passed out from crying too hard. Taking him to the infirmary, they made sure to let him rest.

And most importantly, not leave his side.

~~~

"Hyunsoo, are you okay from the breakup?"

"Honestly...no. I'm not okay, I miss her so much", Hyunsoo looked down, almost on the verge of tears. All the girls around him only pouted in sadness.

"It's okay, it's not your fault!"
"You'll get her back!"
"Yeah, or you can get me-"
"Not the time, girl"
"Ugh, and to think I had a crush on Jaemin before this! How could he?"
"I know right? What a snake"

"It's okay guys, don't think about him too much. It'll stress your pretty faces out", Hyunsoo said.

Meanwhile, a person who was listening to everything only scoffed out loud.

"Bullshit", he said loud and clear for Hyunsoo to hear. Everyone else heard it too, and they turned around to see him visibly pissed.

"What's bullshit?", Hyunsoo asked, nicely.

"Everything. Especially you", he spat.

"Really? I don't think I understand"

"Don't act dumb, asshole. You started the rumours, didn't you?"

Gasps were heard all around, and Hyunsoo could only spare a look down before coming up to face him again.

"Are you calling me a liar, Renjun?"

"Yes, and what about that?", Renjun glared.

When he came to school this morning, Renjun had already heard it all. He thought it was only a small group, but turns out the whole school knew about it.

And he saw it himself. He saw how Jaemin stood in the middle of a busy hallway, eyes big as he couldn't believe what he had heard.

Renjun knew how he felt, and it reminded him too much of the past. His own past.

Seeing the other boys trying to comfort him, Renjun didn't feel hate. No, he didn't despise them.

He never once did, especially his best friend. And because of his best friend, Renjun is here ready to cause a scene.

"I don't exactly get where you are coming from, Renjun. Everyone knows that Jaemin caused my relationship to go downhill"

"More like it was you who caused it. Jaemin did nothing, he just came back after recovering from a fever and yet he's getting rumours about him that are total bullshit"

"You think no one saw you? Please", Renjun gave out a mocking laugh, before letting his fake smile drop as his eyes were hooded. Hair dropping in front of his vision, his face had a scowl as he poked the side of his cheek with his tongue, showing that he was not even a bit amused.

An eyebrow raised, he spared a glance at one of the girls that was standing fairly close to Hyunsoo.

"You and her", Renjun nudged his head towards her.

"You were cheating behind her back with another girl, and still dared to blame Jaemin? How bored can you possibly be?"

"Renjun, stop"

"Me? Stop? More like you should", Renjun showed his phone, that had a pic indeed of Hyunsoo kissing someone else that wasn't his ex.

"I said stop!", Hyunsoo lunged towards the other, swinging a punch at the side of his face.

Everything went silent, as Renjun turned slowly. Cracking his knuckles, he stretched his neck by craning it side to side as his eyes remain shut.

Staying still for a while, it wasn't long until he opened his eyes again and give back a punch at the other's face.

Hyunsoo fell back onto the floor, and Renjun didn't even let him get up as he stepped on the other's chest.

"Should I kick you at the sides? Or maybe punch a few of your teeth out?", Renjun tilted his head as he saw the other visibly struggling under him.

He chuckled darkly, the corner of his lip rising. It was almost as if he was enjoying to see the other suffer.

"Wh-why are y-you even doing this?", Hyunsoo tried to speak out. "Y-you're not even f-friends with Jaemin!"

Digging a heel into his side, Hyunsoo cried out of pain while Renjun remained stoic.

"That's not it, I just really hate liars. Like you", he spoke, letting his heel dig deeper at the other's side. Hyunsoo was already very much in pain, yet he still tried to talk back at the other.

"You should l-learn to quiet d-down a-and mind your b-business you s-shithole!"

Renjun stopped for a while, and it left everyone on edge. Until he lifted his foot and stepped on the other's arm, hard.

Until a crack was heard, followed by a loud scream from Hyunsoo.

"No", Renjun said as he spared one last glance at the other, before walking away. "It's you who should..."

"Just quiet down, you talk too much"

~~~

"I heard you fought the one who spreaded the rumours about my brother"

Renjun turned away from the view to have his eyes follow the girl who was coming to stand beside him.

"More like he suffered. All he had to do was admit the truth but he just cried like a pussy", Renjun scoffed.

"Still, you did that. For Jaemin?"

It was silent for a little while, Renjun was thinking deeply. But when he finally got the answer, he didn't hesitate to say it.

"Yes, I did it. For him"

"But why though? After what he did to you..."

"Honestly? I could care less about the past", Renjun shrugged.

"Did it hurt me? Yes, I felt all alone. But that was before. Now... I like the current me better to be honest. Being innocent and all was never really my thing"

"It helped me grow stronger, and now I can easily fight off people that I despise. Therefore, I'm not really angry"

"What do you think of Jaemin, then?", Jihye asked, breath hitched as she thought of what he could say.

"Jaemin...is an asshole", Renjun said bluntly.

"Oh, but-"

"But he's my asshole", Renjun started to smile.

"My asshole of a best friend, after all"

Renjun turned around to face somewhere. Jihye turned to where he was looking and had her eyes widen by a fraction, realising someone was hearing their conversation all along.

"Jaemin...",Jihye mumbled, seeing the male who had finally woken up and had tears on the brim of his eyes.

Just so you know, the last update is tomorrow :(
