"How was the party last night?" Hyunjin was chatting with Jisung as they got their lunch.

"It was fun of what I remember. I kinda drank a bit to much of hard alcohol. I'm not very good at beer pong." Jisung let out a guilty chuckle.

"I thought you drank willingly, did you play with Felix? Did he drink too?" Hyunjin was curious about the smaller Aussie.

"No, I played with Minho. Thankfully for him, he kept me out of trouble and Felix was.. um.. with Chan the whole time. But what I heard he did drink." The smaller knew Hyunjin was going to feel a little down after hearing Felix was with Chan.

"Speaking of Chan..." The taller notices Chan sitting with Felix at their usual table. "I think I'm going to sit with Jeongin and Seungmin today. I'll see you later Ji." Hyunjin displayed a forced smile as he walked away from the younger.

Jisung felt bad for the taller and hoped he would be alright.

"Hey Jisung! Where's Jinnie?" Felix greeted his best friend but wondering where his other friend was at.

"He's sitting with Jeongin and Seungmin today." He hoped Felix wouldn't question anymore on the subject of Hyunjin.

"Oh ok. I'm sorry I didn't text you last night, I was a little... drunk. But I heard what happened between you and Minho! So is it official?! I knew you two would be cute together!" Felix rambled on the rumors he's been hearing.

"Wait. What are you talking about? Minho and I aren't anything, just friends." He wanted to know what the freckled boy was hearing.

"Everyone is talking about you two being together. I guess people saw you two real close at the party and even seen alone in the same room together." Chan added.

"I-It's not what you think! I-I don't really remembered what happened last night a-and Minho said nothing happened between us, s-so I trust his word." Jisung became flustered and was now wondering why out everyone at the party would rumors about the two be spreading.

Then it hit Jisung.

Jisung's secret that he can't escape and never will, has been spreading around the school ever since he walked through those doors on the first day.

"Jisung? You okay?" Felix noticed his worried expression.

"I'm fine. I'm going to head to class now. I'll see you guys later." He waved his friends goodbye as he quickly ran out of the cafeteria.

"I hope he's okay..." Felix was now becoming worried about Jisung.

"What was that about?" Chan was also concerned for the younger even if he didn't know him that well.

"It could be all the rumors about his family, more and more rumors and hate are spreading around school about him. He doesn't deserve all this, he's such a good person.." Felix felt bad for his friend, he's tried to talk about it with him but Jisung always changed the subject.

Jisung went to his next class early but that was a mistake he regretted. The halls he walked through and the class he had were filled with a negativity aura and whispers bouncing off the walls but it was clear as day when he heard his named being mentioned.

Jisung tried to ignore all the gossip and put his AirPods in blocking out all the noises.

After his last period he kept his music playing while he exit the class.

He walked down a hall where the performing arts classes were held and stumbled upon the dance room's door open. His curiosity caused him to look inside and noticed a familiar face through the mirror.
