Third Person

Yeosang was so lost in thoughts. He thought about the possibilities on what's going to happen today which made him a little anxious. He doesn't know why but something is telling him that it's about the girl with the black mask he saw yesterday. He can't seem to pinpoint who it was but she was oddly familiar.

Was she eavesdropping on us? Yeosang couldn't help but thought, and that thought is now making him more agitated than before.

The blonde shut his eyes, trying not to overthink such things. He set his gaze to the whiteboard where his professor was discussing some sort of lesson related to sequences and equations. For some reason, Yeosang couldn't focus on the lesson at all. All he could think was about the girl and his anxiety.

"Mr. Kang Yeosang, are you even listening?"

The said boy looked up to meet his eyes with his professor's.

"Yes Ms. Kim." He stood up abruptly with a hint of panic in his voice.

The professor didn't seem to buy it so she tried challenging her student, "If so, then in this equation given, how are you supposed to tell if a polynomial is a factor?"

Yeosang bit his lip and tried to think of a logical answer to his teacher's question, "If the remainder is zero?" He said with a little doubt, feeling embarrassed for obvious reasons.

Ms. Kim was amazed, "I'm surprised. You are correct."

The blonde sighed in relief as his teacher asked him to take a seat. The professor went back to the discussion and Yeosang once again drifted off to his reverie. Yunho seemed to noticed so he tried asking his seatmate, "You alright?"

Yeosang turned his head to face the taller male, "Yes, I am okay."

"You seemed to be nervous." Yunho tilted his head to the side.

"That was just guess. I was surprised I got it right."

Yunho beamed a smile, "That's lucky of you."

"Right." I mumbled then set his attention back to the discussion.

----

"So you're basically telling me that there's this girl stalking you?" Wooyoung concluded everything Yeosang had told him, while walking their way to the cafeteria since it's their break time.

Yeosang nodded slowly, "I guess you can put it that way."

Wooyoung nudged his best friend's shoulder as he gasp dramatically, "Dude, what if she likes you?"

The older gave a subtle shrug, "Look, I don't know about that in particular. One thing for sure, she seemed suspicious."

"Suspicious? I can tell. But either way, you have to be careful. You said that you and Jongho were talking that day...what if she was eavesdropping on your conversation?"

"Exactly why I'm getting so anxious. What if that person tells Seonghwa everything? Goodness, just the thought of it is making me shit my pants."

Wooyoung snorted, "It's going to be pretty hard. I mean, I feel like she doesn't even have the evidence. How will Seonghwa believe her then?"

"I'd sell my kidney if she does have the evidence."

"Relax, Yeosang. You are being paranoid again. Nothing's going to happen, and if something bad happens, I'd sell my kidney with you." Wooyoung joked as they make their way to the vacant table in the cafeteria.

Before the two could even sit down to that table, a shorter girl appeared all of a sudden and blocked Yeosang's way by stepping her foot on the chair that Yeosang was about to take. The latter was taken aback and Wooyoung flinched as he stepped back.

Yeosang diverted his gaze to the girl's face, who was wearing the same black mask that he saw yesterday. Fuck.

"Y-You--"

"You're Lia's brother, am I correct?" The short-haired girl interrupted, "You're just like a clone of that bitch but ten times worst." She taunted, removing her black mask out of her face.

Yeosang was unpleasantly surprised when the girl revealed herself. He knew that person was familiar but never expected that she'd be the one behind this. They were never close, or even know each other and this is making Yeosang more anxious than before.

"Just get back to class, Hana." Wooyoung irritatingly called her out and was about to grab Yeosang's arm to leave the place, but Hana moved out of her initial place and dragged Yeosang to the center of the cafeteria. Now grabbing the attention of students when the girl pushed the blonde, causing the latter to fall back to the ground.

Yeosang hissed in pain as he rubbed his lower back, thinking that it will make the pain go away. Wooyoung dashed to his best friend and helped him up and questioned if the older was okay. Yeosang ignored him and darted a glare to the arrogant girl, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

She arched her diva-looking eyebrow and cackled wickedly, "Shouldn't you ask yourself that? Don't you even feel guilty? Aren't you even ashamed that what you're doing is wrong? Are you that scared that people will know your secret?" She said loud and clear for everyone to hear.

"What secret? I don't have any secrets!" Yeosang played dumb but girl just scoffed.

"Should I be the one to tell Seonghwa that you knew almost everything about Lia and Jongho?" Hana grinned evilly, threatening him.

Yeosang gulped and was about to argue back when someone yelled inside the cafeteria, causing everyone to flinch on how deep that person's voice was.

And Yeosang knew exactly who that voice belongs to.

"What the fuck is going on here?" Seonghwa questioned in a harsh tone, switching glances to the blonde and the short-haired girl.

Hana smirked in satisfaction when Seonghwa and his group came to the scene, even better because Jongho was with him.

"Well Seongie, someone...or should I say two of them here has to tell you something." The girl crossed her arms, patiently waiting for the whole tea to be spilt.

Seonghwa was beyond confused, turning his gaze to Yeosang, "What's going on? Is there something you're not telling me?"

Yeosang was fidgeting his fingers as he was very uncomfortable at the situation. All eyes were on him and he never liked the attention he's receiving. He's even more nervous because Seonghwa's gaze was still lingering on him, and his presence didn't help either. Yeosang looked down to the ground, conflicting whether he should tell Seonghwa right now or wait for Jongho to say something.

The raven-haired walked to where Yeosang was standing, they were only a few meters away and the younger could only feel the tension in every each step Seonghwa was taking.

"Look at me." Seonghwa softly said, not wanting to scare Yeosang.

Yeosang obeyed and slowly looked at his lover, yet he didn't or rather couldn't answer anything.

"Tell me, what are you hiding?" Seonghwa spoke again.

Yeosang bit his lower lip, now setting his gaze to the red-haired male; who was obviously afraid on what's going on. Jongho wanted to hide himself, he wanted to run away as soon as he heard the topic is about Lia but he couldn't. San was stopping him, holding the younger in place because he knew that it's about time for Jongho to tell the truth.

The blonde's lips quiver in agitation but he spoke when he meets Jongho's gaze, "I-I...I'm not in the position to tell you this." Yeosang's eyes were still at Jongho's but still speaking to Seonghwa, "I think it's best if Jongho will tell you everything."

Seonghwa slowly turned his back to face his friend, "What is going on, Jongho?"

The said male looked at Yeosang with fear written on his face before switching back to Seonghwa. Jongho sighed and started, "I-It's really hard to explain."

"I don't really care. Just say it." Seonghwa tried to keep his tone calm, but at this point he really wanted to know what the fuck's going on with his friend, especially when Jongho has been keeping his distance away from him and his friends.

"Y-You see S-Seonghwa...I-"

"Oh for fuck sake, Jongho! Why is it hard for you and this bitch to tell Seongie that you're the one who got Lia pregnant?"

Students gasped and started chit-chattering at what Hana had said. Almost everyone in school had their eyes widen at the unexpected news coming out of Hana's mouth. Jongho felt like fainting while Yeosang's hand balled into a fist as he was angry at the girl for unnecessarily telling the whole school about the issue.

"You little bitch!" Wooyoung didn't hesitate to make his way to Hana and forcefully grab her by the hair. This made some of the students near the scene to stand up from their seat, but not knowing if they should help or not. The ill-mannered girl screeched in pain, trying to let go out of Wooyoung's grip. Yeosang was absolutely taken aback but still tried to pull his best friend away from Hana, same goes to Yunho, Hongjoong and Mingi for helping Yeosang.

Meanwhile, Seonghwa didn't give a shit on what's going on with Hana and Wooyoung's catfight. He stared at Jongho sternly, like a predator hunting its prey. Just by the looks of it, it is enough for Jongho to be terrified. Even though Hana had said it, Seonghwa would not believe her. He will only believe such things if either Yeosang or Jongho would tell him themselves.

The raven-haired turned his back to the two, "That's enough!" He yelled out loud for the two to stop fighting. He was thankful that Wooyoung obeyed and finally let go of the girl's hair but the glare and fury never left his face.

Seonghwa set his gaze back to Jongho, "You're my friend and you know I hate lies so I want you to tell me the truth, Jjong."

Jongho gulped, "Can we talk about this privately? People are listening--"

"I don't fucking care! I want you to tell me right now and right here. Is it true that you were the one who impregnated Lia?"

Mingi jumped into the conversation, "Seonghwa, that's absurd. Why would you believe this girl? She might be--"

"Stay out of this, Mingi." Seonghwa said bluntly but still kept his eyes on the red-head.

Despite fighting against his social anxiety, Yeosang knew he had to step up to defend Jongho. So, he went to the center and bravely looked into Seonghwa's eyes before pulling him back away from Jongho.

"Hwa, you need to calm down."

"No!" Seonghwa jerked Yeosang's arm away, "Jongho, I repeat. Is it true that you and Lia were having an affair?"

Jongho's hands were trembling in fear but he knew he had to, "Seonghwa, let me explain--"

Before Jongho could even explain anything, a voicemail played and it was enough for the whole people in the cafeteria to hear it.

It started with Jongho talking, "You see, I heard about the issue few days ago. I'm already preparing myself to tell Seonghwa supposedly today but when I heard that you got harassed by Jaewon..."

Everyone looked to where that voicemail was playing, and it's from Hana who was even proud for having the evidence to convince Seonghwa and the rest of the people.

"And? What's the matter? What's stopping you?"

Seonghwa then looked at Yeosang because he was sure that it's his voice.

"Yeosang, don't you know how he reacted? He raged to the point he was about to stab Jaewon's eye with a broken glass! What more if I tell him that I fucked Lia and happened to be the father of her child?! Seonghwa is fucking scary and I think he'll beat me to the fucking dirt if he learns the truth."

"Jongho, I know it is not easy...but you really need to tell him sooner or later. I told you already, you can't keep this to yourself forever."

"I-I just need more time."

"It's been one month already, isn't that enough?"

"Maybe if you were in my shoes, you would know how it feels--."

"That's enough!" Yeosang couldn't take it anymore so he grabbed the phone out of Hana's grip and immediately deleted the voicemail file.

"Hey! How dare you! Give me back my phone." Hana stomped her feet like a little child as she yelled at Yeosang.

"Why are you even meddling in our business? You shouldn't even be here to begin with!" Yeosang snapped back.

Hana sneered, "Seongie deserves to know the truth. So all of you should be thankful because I clearly fixed your problem here."

Yeosang cringed at the nickname given to Seonghwa but still argued, "And what? Do you think everyone will bow down to you for being a hero?" He scoffed in disbelief, "Wake up, you narcissistic bitch. You're the one being disrespectful here. You still called my sister a bitch in front of my face for no fucking reason! Now, you're here for what? Revenge? Jesus Christ, Hana. My sister is already dead! There's no point getting revenge and at this point you are starting to convince me that you are doing this for attention!"

Everyone was almost shocked at Yeosang's sudden outburst because never would they thought that he would rage at the situation. They know Yeosang for being the laid-back introvert who is always quiet, reserved, and only known for being Lia's brother. Yet he was here to prove that he's more than that without even noticing.

This made Hana angry, so she took a step forward and supposedly to give the blonde a slap on his cheek when all of a sudden...

Seonghwa's reflexes were fast so he was able to stop Hana from doing that by grabbing her wrist in place. The girl was taken aback but was not able to process what happened because Seonghwa pushed her away from Yeosang at a three meter distance, making her fall back to the ground. Karma is a bitch, isn't it?

"Don't even touch him." Seonghwa's voice was almost a growl and it made the students shudder in fear on how scary the tone of his voice was.

"S-Seonghwa..." Hana stuttered his name, not expecting that the said boy would side with Yeosang.

Seonghwa was radiating anger, and Hana didn't like that, "Tell me, what is your intention?" He questioned while walking and knelt down to Hana's level.

"I-I'm just...I'm just here to tell you that your ex-girlfriend was cheating on you before her death! It's was for your sake--"

"And you think you're in the place to tell me that?" Seonghwa scolded and Hana had her eyes shut.

"You should be thankful that I'm telling you this! Why are you even siding with that bitch's brother when you should be siding with me?!"

"Don't even try to give me the benefit of the doubt because either way what you did was absolutely wrong!"

"W-What?"

Seonghwa stood up, eyes still on Hana's, "First of all, Yeosang had nothing to do with the issue. Why are you only targeting him when you're supposed to be dealing it with me? Second, I want you to delete every voicemail you recorded in your phone because you are invading their privacy and that is plain disrespectful. And lastly, you are only embarrassing yourself for standing here and acting all so proud and mighty. I don't even know you well, but you already gave me a bad impression." The raven-haired uttered every word calmly but with an underlining of strictness.

"But Seonghwa--" She tried to protest.

"Enough, Hana. I'm done with you and I don't want you near me, my friends and Yeosang. Leave before I drag you out of the cafeteria with my own hands." Seonghwa turned his back, not wanting to make the conversation longer.

The girl clenched her teeth in disappointment, anger and humiliation. She couldn't accept how Seonghwa publicly insulted her and she couldn't handle the look in everyone's faces.

Hana stood up and gave Yeosang and Wooyoung one last glare before stomping her way out of the cafeteria.

Seonghwa held the bridge of his nose, distressed at the situation a while ago. He set his gaze to find his red-haired friend but unfortunately Jongho wasn't there to be found.

"Where did he go?" Seonghwa asked San, which he didn't noticed that Jongho already and left the place.

Seonghwa ruffled his own hair in frustration and turned his gaze to Yeosang, and the look on older's face did not look too good.

"Meet me at the rooftop." He told Yeosang and switched his gaze to everyone in the cafeteria, "And I swear if anyone of you followed us to the rooftop or ever try to eavesdrop on our conversation, you are going to have to deal with me. You got that?" He yelled for people to hear him clearly.

It was the perfect timing when the bell rang.

Seonghwa yelled again, "Go back to your classes, now!"

As soon as Seonghwa scolded everyone, they immediately went back to their respective classrooms. Wooyoung patted his best friend's back, indirectly telling him that he'll go now. Same goes to Seonghwa's friends as they all left Yeosang and Seonghwa alone.

"Follow me."
