Rumors spread everywhere as Jeno, the perfect class president, got into a fight with Jaemin and Donghyuck. No one else heard the conversation apparently, only me. It was a pretty surprising conversation as I was still in shock. The atmosphere around us was thick and unappealing. Jeno and Donghyuck were trudging behind me, as I was right next to the teacher. I wanted to really kick them in the shins if they attacked me, but I didn't want to be left alone with them. I could feel their angry presence ghosting onto me, giving me light goosebumps as I kept my distance from them.

The room dedicated for detention gave off a chilling vibe, and it wasn't warm with heaters like the other ones. I managed to get a jacket from my locker before we arrived, and it somewhat protected me from the cold that was awaiting me. Walking over to the detention room, we all sat down away from each other. However, Jaemin was not seen in the room as he needed to go to practice, and he decided to do detention alone.

Jeno and Donghyuck glared at me with their silent, deadly gazes until the teacher left the room so that we would begin our hour-and-a-half detention time. I was worried as hell that they would eat me alive for listening to their conversation. Seeing how beastly Jeno turned when no one was around, he wouldn't leave me alone. Donghyuck crossed his arms and spoke out first, "How long were you there?"

"You better speak the damn truth." Jeno's voice was heavy and low, and that had scared me a lot than I expected.

"I heard everything, from the fight until we were all caught."

Bang.

I jumped in surprise when I heard Jeno slamming his fist on top of the desk as his hand was formed into a fist. The lights in the classroom flickered at the same time, as if they were reacting in shock as well from the sudden nose. Donghyuck tried to calm him down as Jeno shouted in anger, "Ha, so you think you can go tell everyone? I dare you to."

I gathered the confidence to talk back, since honestly, I don't have anything to fear. I stood up and walked over to Jeno, placing my hands inside my jacket pockets as I replied angrily, "You think you're so great because you're the class president. If I did go telling people, I wouldn't go saying that since that's just dirty."

I bent down slowly to make my face as close as his and continued with a whisper, "I would go around telling people that you and Donghyuck are total fake asses. Nothing to like. And that I am the primary witness, and maybe I'll go get Jaemin's witness too. You guys seemed fake from the start, and the vibe you guys gave me is nothing like how people describe you to be. This "argument" that I listened to had confirmed my suspicions, and I hate being someone that I'm not."

The next thing, I did not expect at all.

Donghyuck interfered into our conversation and grabbed my collar, pushing me to the wall and almost choked me. His hand was even colder than the room itself, making my whole body vulnerable to the weak feeling in my legs. I felt the walls colliding in, and my eyes widened without even knowing. He gripped onto my throat mercilessly, and I held onto his hands desperately. I looked over at Jeno in a sense of help, but he had a face of amusement as he cocked his head to the side. I turned back to look at Donghyuck's dark, pissed up face and he replied in a low voice, "Go do it. And I'll break your little neck."

I didn't resort to show any fear, because I really didn't want to. I tried to keep my composure, but soon I heard footsteps running towards our door. Probably, it was the remaining classmates who were finishing classes and wanted to see Jeno in detention for the first time. I kicked Donghyuck's leg, as he then let go. He bent down and rubbed his shin in pain as I fixed my shirt and scoffed at his sudden weakness. "You guys think you're all that huh?! It's quite saddening to see."

Before any students can arrive, Jeno stood up and made his way over to us. He smirked and tilted his head to one side as he gave the most dirtiest, ugliest expression that I have ever seen. "Han Ryujin. You're really one of the most interesting girls that I have encountered, and seen within this school and out. You think what you say will persuade those losers? Won't even spread around. Let me show you, how the rumor that I create.. you will never fall out of."

He tugged my arm out of nowhere, and dragged me to the wall where you would see from the windows outside the hallways. He grabbed my chin abruptly, and made me face him as I was trying to escape. I had a sickening feeling in my my gut, as I didn't know what to expect from this psycho. As if he was waiting for the timing, he pressed his plump, devious lips onto mine right when he assumed the perfect timing of when the students would arrive.

Right there, I felt like throwing up and disgusted of what was happening. I tried to push him away with all might, but his muscles didn't even move an inch. He kept me down with his arms, and smirked as we kiss as I tried to continuously push him away. But from afar, it seemed that as if we were making out, as the angle that our position was perfectly abstracted. You could hear the screams and shouts of anger from the girls, and hollers from the boys.

I finally managed to push him away, and I wanted to slap his smug expression off his face as I lifted my arm. But Donghyuck, out of nowhere, grabbed my arm as I was about to left it, and held my hand instead. I widened my eyes at this crazy action, as he nodded slightly at Jeno before punching him in the face with his free arm. I didn't know how to react as Jeno fell to the floor, with his back against the audience, and his smile evidently showing at us. I watched in disgust as he did so, as Donghyuck pulled me into a sudden hug.

It was crazy in the background, but there was one thing I could make out.

He whispered quietly and carefully, "You made the biggest mistake of your life...and you can't fall out of it now."

Was this a threat or a sign of warning?
