yuta
we need to talk

mark
yutaaaaa 🥰🥰

mark
what's up?

yuta
tell me about you and niko

yuta
you said you went to high school
together. were you friends? more?

mark
why do you ask?

yuta
there's too much tension
for you to be strangers

yuta
i want to know how you
know each other

mark
we were friends yeah

yuta
is that all?

mark
and

mark
i mean we dated briefly

mark
it ended kinda messily haha

yuta
what did you do mark

mark
me?

yuta
don't lie to me.

mark
it

mark
well

mark
i loved her and she loved me and
we'd been best friends for so long
and finally confessed and started
dating two years into high school

mark
we'd write songs together. it was a
fun activity that turned into more.
for me especially

mark
her mom got sick and she gave up.
she wanted to work alone and got
all distant and i gave her time and
then she took the book that contained
both our lyrics and shut me out

mark
vybe was auditioning. it was supposed
to be a fun garage band yknow? i wanted
to join and perform so badly and i couldn't
come up with any decent lyrics on my own.
everything i'd written was in that book

yuta
so you took it

mark
i was gonna give it back after
auditioning but then i got in and
we became a band and i just

mark
i needed that book. i needed those
lyrics more than she did

yuta
her mother died mark.
where were you?

mark
i'm not saying what i did wasn't bad.
but was i supposed to go ask her for
the book as she grieved?

yuta
you were supposed to
be her best friend

yuta
when this scandal blows over,
you're going to make it up to her

mark
what do you mean...

yuta
you will release a statement and
give credit where credit is due.
all of it. and you will apologize
to niko

yuta
or you're out of vybe

mark
what?

mark
yuta

mark
come on

yuta
the only reason i'm giving you
a chance is because you told me
the truth when i asked you to

mark
you knew?

yuta
not for sure.

mark
did she tell you

yuta
no

yuta
you need to stop picking fights
with her because you feel guilty

mark
i don't f

mark
is is obvious?

yuta
not really. you just come
off as a prick :)

mark
oh

mark
yeah i guess haha

yuta
mark

mark
what do i do?

yuta
you know what to do

mark
what if

mark
what if they hate me?

mark
you saw what they said
about haechan

yuta
that's different and you know it

mark
i

mark
i'm scared

mark
if they hate me, they may boycott
the band. sales could go down.
we could be ruined. and it would
be my fault

mark
i can't... i don't know how to
function normally anymore.
not without them

yuta
tell them the truth. i'll help you

yuta
they'll forgive you

mark
what if they don't?

yuta
you won't know until you try

yuta
and i'm not going to go much easier
on you cause you're my favorite. you
will have to leave the band if you fail
to release a statement

mark
i will

mark
with your help i can

yuta
you can

yuta
but before that, you should go
sincerely apologize to niko

mark
i've tried|

mark
okay

yuta
okay 😌🖤

mark
okay 😔🫶

kay
You fucking bitch

kay
You showed them our texts?

niko
what was i supposed to do huh?
let you lie to everyone because
you didn't want to fess up to your
mistakes?

kay
Yeah cause that's what friends do

niko
no, it's not

niko
and honestly, it's really concerning
that you think they do

kay
Well no friend would tell their
boyfriend to break up with them

niko
dk broke up with you?
good for him

kay
wow. You cant even pretend to
be sympathetic for a minute?

niko
i can't. because what you did was so,
so wrong i don't want to be affiliated
with you anymore

kay
Well, i hope you're happy

kay
Now i'm at risk of getting doxxed

niko
maybe you should have thought of
that before spreading severe and
unnecessary rumors

kay
I really don't like you right now

niko
trust me, the feeling is mutual :)

dokyeom
i broke up with kj...

niko
she told me :/

niko
are you okay?

dokyeom
not really but i will be

dokyeom
im more just... shocked?

dokyeom
like angry and upset but shocked?
and the toxic part of me feels oddly
flattered 😭

dokyeom
like she'd lie? for me?
*tucks hair behind ear*

niko
LMAOOOOO i wish

niko
i'm glad you're handling this well.
or at least trying to

dokyeom

niko
i hope they're telling you how
big of a bullet you dodged

dokyeom

about her for a while

dokyeom
it's funny tho like now that she's
gone i've started to realize how
unhealthy our relationship was

niko
