I sat there with wide eyes as Hyunjin turned to me, worry etched into his brows. My mind tried processing what I just heard, but for some reason what he said just didn't want to make sense, no matter how many times I replayed it.

"You almost kissed Geneviève?" I asked, trying to get my brain to work.

"Well, not exactly."

I looked at him, my brows furrowing with confusion.

"She actually came onto me."

"So, she almost kissed you?"

He nodded.

"Okay, wait. Can you explain the whole story to me please?"

"Okay, so, she was at the dorms. She was in the kitchen and I was in the training room. She was waiting for Lee Know to come to the dorms so she could take him out for lunch. Then I came out of the training room all sweaty, and she just stared at me like she'd never seen me before. It creeped me out so I just went to the stairs. But she stopped me. And then she just leaned in and tried to kiss me. I luckily pushed her away and then I went up to my room...You and Felix are the only people who know."

I sat there in silence, my brain needing a few seconds to digest the new information I received before coming up with an answer. I shook my head and took in a breath before speaking.

"Okay, woah... I did not expect that. But now everything kind of makes sense. Lee Know told me that he broke up with Geneviève because he thought she was seeing another man. Technically his suspicions were right. At least you pushed her away, right?"

He nodded at me. I took his hand, gently squeezing it. He stared at my hand wrapped around his like it was the most wrong thing on the planet for me to hold his hand, before slowly pulling his fingers out of my grip. It confused me, but I breezed past it. I started fidgeting as I waited for a while to ask the question I actually wanted to ask. After a few moments, I turned to him again, looking into his eyes.

"You ready to talk to Lee Know yet?" I asked.

"Yeah... I actually think so, yeah."

I nodded at him before getting up and heading towards the sliding door. I slid it open, and saw Lee Know looking my way. I smiled, even though I thought he wouldn't be able to see it. I went to sit down next to him and somehow he could sense where my hand was, taking it in his almost immediately and rubbing his thumb over it.

"Hyunjin is ready to talk, if you are."

He stayed silent for a while before giving my hand a soft squeeze.

"Then I'm ready too," he answered.

He got up; my hand still clasped in his. I walked back inside through the sliding door, letting go of his hand and going to sit down next to Hyunjin again. Lee Know came to stand behind me. Hyunjin looked up at Lee Know behind me before looking at me again, turning his body so he could fully face me.

"Are you going to tell him?" I asked Hyunjin, to which he nodded.

He took in a deep breath to calm his nerves but doing that probably didn't prepare him for the answer Lee Know gave.

"Geneviève tried to kiss me. While you two were still dating and-"

"I know."

Both Hyunjin and I were stunned into silence, both of us looking up at Lee Know.

"She let it slip around me how much of an idiot you were. I couldn't get the full story from her then, but I knew for sure something happened between you two. She started acting weirder and weirder after that. Then I asked her about it one day and she spilled the whole story. I mean sure, she made it sound like you came onto her, but I knew you wouldn't do that. A week later, I broke up with her."
