Jungwoo's POV

I was sitting there smiling, reading the book Sooyun had lent me. "Jungwoo shall we leave? I am done with my work." "Okay hyung!" 

"Return me the book before leaving otherwise I will kill you I swear. I have to read it once I go back home." 

Sooyun's words come to my mind. I am supposing they still are in the school. "Hyung, can you wait for a second? I have to return this book to Sooyun otherwise she won't spare me." "Are you sure she is still here?" He asks. "Pretty sure she is." "Okay then, till then I will pack up my stuff." He replies with a smile. 

Bio class. That is where they were heading. I reached the classroom to find Sooyun yelling at her brother. 

"... JUNGWOO IS A TERRIBLE PERSON I HATE HIM AND DON'T WANT HIM IN MY LIFE??!!" 

I was taken aback. I thought she cared. As I started tearing up I said,

"Thank you very much Sooyun.." 

Before she could say anything or even react I turned around to leave. I have had enough of this fake life. I am done. Being a cold person had one advantage, people think twice before hurting you. "JUNGWOO!!"  I recognized the voice and had no interest in replying back. "JUNGWOO AT LEAST HEAR ME OUT!! IT IS NOT WHAT YOU TH--" I quickly wipe my tears out and turn behind and answer in a cold tone. 

JW- I HAVE HEARD ENOUGH SOOYUN! AND I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING THAT SHOULD BE SAID NOW! PLEASE, I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR DRAMA! I HAD TRUSTED YOU! AND YOU?! JUST THREW IT AWAY LIKE GARBAGE!! 

SY- Fine! Can I do anything to make it up to you at least?!

JW- Do me one favor and GET LOST!!

I may have said it a little too harshly but I couldn't care less. "Okay. I g-guess if t-that's what you ask for." She just turned around and left. I could hear sobbing and in some corner of heart I was hurt. A little voice seemed to say, "Before concluding on a decision, at least hear her out!" But I was done with it. It was a mistake to have ever thought that my life had more to it than just sorrows and dismays. Mistake to think that there would be someone to care. It was a mistake to fall for you Bang Sooyun. You are out of my reach, and I should've known you'll never be mine.

Chan's POV

As Jungwoo leaves, Sooyun ran to follow him, but didn't forget to turn back and give me a glare which showed clear disappointment. "Seriously hyung what is this all about?!"  I turn around to see Haechan screeching, followed by Minhee, YangYang and Mark. "Seriously dude, You haven't told anyone?!" Jihyo asks giving a deep questioning stare. "Ya Chan! What the world's going on?!?!!!" Seungmin asks.

"Guys, guys, guys!! Calm down!!" "You want me to calm down hyung?! YOU LEGIT WANT ME TO CALM DOWN WHEN MY FAVORITE SHIP IS BREAKING?!?!" Realizing what he just said, YangYang covers his mouth. "Ignoring what just happened, Chan, please explain." Seungmin says. I tell them everything, about my concerns, about the disagreement and so on so forth. 

"Seriously, Chan, I barely ever agree with that dumbhead sister of yours, but at this, I am totally with Sooyun." Minhee says. "I am just concerned you know! You know about the--" "Rumors. Yes we all know. Rumors aren't facts. They are just rumors. And the rumors you talking about, they are just wrong hyung, wrong! All of them! The type of person he is, he won't hurt a fly!" Haechan says. "Exactly Chan hyung. Haechan's correct. His one weakness is his vulnerability. And that is because of his past. All of us know it. Trust him Chan, he is an awesome guy. And I bet that he will never hurt Sooyun."Mark says, agreeing. All of a sudden guilt comes over me. I should've trusted him. I should've had faith in Sooyun's decisions. "Stop regretting Chan, and let us tell Jungwoo before it is too late!"  Jihyo says. I nod. "But where is he?" YangYang asks. "I know exactly where." I say getting a clear idea. The library.

<<<Reached the library>>>

"Look! He is there!" We find Jungwoo, sitting quietly, lost in deep thought. He seemed to have cried a lot. And I doubted him. Wow. Probably sensing presence in the empty library he turned to the door. "What do you guys want?" He asks sternly. 

MH- Jungwoo please listen to us. We all know about that Sooyun--  

JW- I don't want to talk about it. So I will ask you all to leave politely--

"It is my fault, Jungwoo!! I beg you please listen!! If you won't I will never be able to forgive myself!!" I yell. I was surprised at myself for doing such a thing. "*sighs* Fine. I am giving you time to explain whatever, don't expect anything." We all tell him about the fight, and how Sooyun was defending him, not talking against him. "I am sorry Jungwoo. I was blinded by those rumors. I should've believed you.." "Hyung please don't apologize. You are like an older brother to me. Sooyun is lucky to have such a caring brother. Honestly speaking, I would have done the very same thing if I were in your place. And I should apologize to Sooyun. I may have been a tiny bit too rude to her." "So you're still gonna be friends with Sooyun right?" I ask. "Why not? And maybe another as well. Well of course if I have earned his trust that is.." He lends his hand for a handshake and I gladly accept it. "Definitely." I say with a warm smile. Then all of sudden a thought hits me. Not a good one. "So she got into a fight with me and you, Oh. no." "What oh no?" Mark asks. "I hope she isn't too tense.." "Ya sure, just solve it out with--" I cut Minhee mid sentence. "She shouldn't be worried, she has occasional asthma."
