Ft. NCT's Haechan
It is so easy to hide behind a screen, being a different person online in comparison to who you are in real life.
Like most situations though, there are always two sides to the story.

Jaemin entered Haechan's room, the two boys settling on Haechan's bed. Haechan tucked his knees to his chest while he waited for Jaemin to talk.
"So Yeona." Jaemin started, staring at his phone. "She used to be friends with Jeno. The two of them were close. Very close."
"I got that part." Haechan said, but it came out a lot harsher than expected.
"No, you don't get it." Jaemin said, passing Haechan his phone. "They were so close, almost dating."
Haechan glanced at Jaemin before taking the phone into his hands.

"Wait." Haechan said, eyes widening at the screen. "Jeno likes Yeona?"
"Liked." Jaemin corrected, a pout on his face. "And I'm pretty sure she liked him too, just from the way they acted around each other. They were always so happy, giggling to one another. I was so jealous of their friendship. Even my friendship with Jeno now can't even compare to them back then."
"What changed?" Haechan asked, feeling slightly relieved but still curious.
"I'm not quite sure." Jaemin admitted. "That's something you're going to have to ask Yeona."
...
It was uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable.
Yeona was debating if she should just get up and return home but then Jeno started talking.
"You know, I never liked her, right?" Jeno said, making Yeona bite her lip as she recalled the day four years ago that ruined her friendship with Jeno. "I never liked Jieun."

At the sound of Jieun's name, all the feelings of pain from that day came back to her. Yeona held her hands in fists as she blinked back the tears.
"Honestly Jeno, I really don't care who you liked back then. I just don't understand why you hid it from me. I was your best friend." Yeona told him.
"But that's the point, Yeona!" Jeno exclaimed. "I didn't like her! It was a lie, someone else put that confession in."
"Whatever, I really don't care." Yeona said, getting up.
As she was walking away, she felt Jeno grab her wrist, forcing her to turn back around. "What do you want, Jeno?"
"Listen, I know you act cold and whatever but deep down you do care. The reason why I'm telling you this is because I care too. We were best friends, Yeona. It doesn't make sense our friendship to go to waste like that."
Yeona watched as Jeno looked away, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Plus, I never told you who my crush was back then because it was you."
As surprised that Yeona was by Jeno's words, she couldn't help but let her pride take over, tugging her hand out of Jeno's grasp.
"I don't think you know me at all, Jeno." Yeona told him, trying her best to keep a straight face despite the pain.
"Because I never liked you. Not back then and definitely not now."
