"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.
