They went to school together, after a quick breakfast in Taeil's house. The morning dance lesson started in an awkward atmosphere, especially because Ten came in with Jae, Taeil and Doyoung joking and laughing loud.

Yuta seemed mad because of his best friend's betrayal, so he spilled his water bottle over Ten, what caused the boy to grab his clothes and they nearly ended up in a fight, but Doyoung and Johnny held them back, while the two where throwing all kind of swear words at each other. Jae stayed in his corner away from all the drama, he was more hurt, because Taeyong has never appeared in class. The teacher was feeling good again and came in on all the mess. He shouted loud so the quarrel ended, but the rest of the lesson was filled with unpleasant glances, and pushes from the cool clique against the four friends.

Ten was so mad, that he danced terribly, so at the end of the class Jae got the final performance with Yuta.

They were in the middle of the routine, when the door opened and a small man went in, followed by Taeyong, who was wearing all black again, and seemed more upset than yesterday.

"I'm sorry, I'm his manager, this won't happen again. He has an ultimatum - school or his career," the man stopped next to the teacher and Jae felt he would like to go and kick Taeyong.

"One more truancy and your last chance is over!" the man shouted to Taeyong who winced.

In the next moment the manager left slamming the door shut.

"Ok, so, boys please dance again," the teacher seemed frustrated.

He was a young man and he liked the boys a lot, so he always bothered about their well being.

"Mr. Wang, can I not dance, I feel sick, my stomach feels sick," said Jae who tried his best to not to look towards Taeyong.

"Oh, do you want to visit the school nurse?" asked the teacher.

"No, I just want to sit," Jae walked towards the mirror taking place next to Doyoung.

"Here, drink some water," Mr. Wang hurried to him with a water bottle and Jae thanked. "Yuta, please," the teacher was even more frustrated than before.

Yuta sent a mad glance towards Ten before he started to dance giving all his anger into the routine.

"I think I'll change schools, I won't like to get a blue eye because of your stupidity," Doyoung glanced left and right.

Taeyong stopped next to a wall opposite to the whole class while Jae felt it all went wrong in just one day.





The lunch time brought the bad atmosphere up again. Taeyong grabbed his tray and sat next to Yuta causing Jae's stomach to feel sick for real. Ten stopped in the middle of the room unsure what to do, before he tottered towards the nerd's table.

The eating time was rather quiet and Jae wasn't able to get in much of his lunch. Soon the classes had ended and he was stuck in speech therapy waiting for the teacher.

His clouds were torn today and rained on the math homework.

"What can I do to make it up to you?" Jae glanced up to find Taeyong leaned against the door frame like during the first time they had spoken.

"You chose youf side," Jae returned to his drawing.

"Boy, yesterday at the river we all cooperated. Why there need to be sides? You could do so much more if you would work together instead of fighting," Taeyong went into the room and sat on the desk opposite to Jae like last time.

"They hate and bully us. What should we do? Kiss theif mighty feet?" Jae got mad.

"Hey, yesterday morning you and Ten were enemies for life, today you're sitting in the cafeteria together," Taeyong looked at him.

"Fof how long? Till Yuta king decides to take him back? And tfust me he will fun back as quick as he can," Jae was so angry that for the first time he spoke his mind. "You guys bfoke Taeil's heaft. You called my ffiends losers and Ten told me I'm a chafity case, and a mascot fof you. I'm fed up! Fed up with being the losef, alone and bullied! And I'm fed up with this stupid speech defect! My mum wants me to give in on my dfeam, because the tfuth is no stupid thefapist will evef make it ok!" Jae stood up.

He was shouting, shouting loud, ignoring all the f-sounds he made.

"Guess what? I'm done with it! Done!" he slammed the notebook shut and grabbed his bag.

He glanced towards the door, where a bewildered speech therapist was standing. Jae passed him hurrying down the corridor. He had enough, enough of everything in his life.

He reached the car park in front of the school, when Taeyong grabbed his arm.

"Calm down you volcano," Taeyong smiled and Jae sent him a furious glance. "Hey stop being angry, you're still cute then," Taeyong moved his hand up caressing Jae's cheek causing thousands of fireworks to explode inside him.

"No, you don't..." Jae tried to pass Taeyong, but the boy stopped him.

"Come with me, I'll show you my record company," Taeyong was still smiling. "Ok?"

Jae took a breath, his anger was fading.

"Ok," he muttered and Taeyong took his hand and dragged him to the nearest taxi stand.

"Ok," he muttered and Taeyong took his hand and dragged him to the nearest taxi stand
