"I know you lied" he said, staring deadly into my eyes.

Lied? About what.. He knew I lied about oversleeping? It can't be..

"What?" I said confused, praying he didn't know about me and Felix.

He gave me a half-suppressed laugh, as if I knew what he meant. I was sweating.

"So you overslept huh?" He questioned me sarcastically.

Fuck. My pulse was speeding up. How the fuck did he know I was lying? I tried thinking about reasons on why he might've found out. Neither were good.

"Yeah, why?" I said, trying not to look absolutely shit-scared.

"You just lied again" he said

He had no expression on his face. I couldn't decipher how he felt.

"What do you mean?" I asked him

"You didn't think I'd notice Felix being gone too?" He said. -"and not to mention, he came like three minutes after you"

I wanted to do everything to defend myself, but I also didn't want him to doubt me. I had to play it cool, and cover up somehow.

"He also overslept" I replied

Suddenly his face changed. Like he was disappointed in me. But at the same time he had this tiny smile. He was freaking me out.

"Explain why he went straight to his friend, practically jumping in excitement telling him something. What was he so excited about?" He asked me.

"I don't know, why do you ask me?" I replied

"Because he said your name, and they were looking in your direction" he said.

I went straight into defending mode.

"Why the fuck would I know why they said my name?" I belted

Jeongin came closer to me.

"Why the fuck did he say you guys made out?"

He stepped back, and crossed his arms waiting for an answer.

No part of me was ready for that. How did he know? Did Felix tell him? What was going on..

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

My voice was on the verge of cracking.

Jeongin laughed sarcastically.

"Felix and his friend walked right past us. And your little admirer just could keep his mouth shut." Jeongin said. -"You know I've got a sharp hearing right?" He asked me.

No fucking way. I was clueless on what to reply. I stood there speechless, staring at him.

"W-what?" I said quietly

Jeongin nodded confidently.

"What did you hear?" I asked him

"I'd rather forget that" he said -"but I can guarantee you, neither you nor Felix would want it to be spread"

I felt trapped. Jeongin knew too much. I wasn't mad at Felix. He was most likely not aware that anyone else could hear him, but it's turned into a huge problem.

"H-he must've lied" I said trying to defend myself one last time.

"There's no help in trying to cover up Hyunjin, I know you're lying" He laughed.

I froze.

"We're gonna have a talk later" he said before jogging inside to eat dinner.

My head was heavy. I felt the need to throw up. I couldn't wrap myself around what happened. There was no point in trying to defend myself. The excuses would sound dumb and fake. As much as I didn't want to step foot into the cafeteria, I had to.

I sat down where I usually do, and the mood was completely normal between the other boys. I tried playing along, joining convos, and laughing with them. My heart jumped every time i made eye contact with Jeongin. What was he going to say to me later?

I barely ate any food. I also didn't look over at Felix at all. Both because i kinda forgot, and i knew Jeongin would notice. Why is he so fucking observant..

I still wasn't mad at Felix. It's not his fault. I knew he wouldn't wish for this to happen. Actually, I felt bad for him.

When dinner was done, we had a 20 minute break. We all went outside, and Jeongin came straight up to me.

"Excuse me and Hyunjin for a minute, we're just gonna go talk" Jeongin said to the rest of the guys.

They didn't seem to care much.

Me and Jeongin walked to the same place we were earlier. It was behind a wall, and we were pretty hidden from anyone else.

"You thought you'd be able to hide it?" He asked me

I had my head down, not being able to look him in the eyes.

"I really didn't except this" he said

I didn't reply.

"You know, ever since I found out the stuff about Felix, I made sure to keep an extra eye on you." He explained. -«Just in case"

"Why" I mumbled

"I don't know, you were being pretty clingy, and i had a feeling you'd fall for him" he said

I still didn't reply. I had nothing to say.

"Anyways, I guess you don't want people to know right?" He asked me

"No" I muttered

"Look at me" he said before continuing.

I lifted my head, and looked at him.

"Please don't tell anyone" I begged

He smiled

"Why shouldn't I?"

At this point, I was willing to do anything just to keep it a secret between us. I couldn't bare with this information being spread. It would ruin me.

"Please" I said once again

He cleared his throat.

"What are you willing to do?" He asked me

"Anything" I replied

He thought for a while.

"I don't think there's anything you can do Hyunjin" He concluded.

"I beg you, just please don't tell anyone" I said desperately.

"Listen, I'm not going to tell anyone"

-"unless" he added

I was ready for anything.

-"unless you don't tell them yourself"

What.. Unless I don't tell them myself? What does he mean?

"What do you mean?" I asked him

"They have to know. I won't tell them if you don't want me too, but I will if you don't tell them yourself" he explained

"You said it wouldn't be spread" I said

"I said I wouldn't tell them" he replied

I looked at him lost.

If I got that right, he wanted me to tell the boys myself. And If I didn't, he'd spread it? There's no way.. I can't tell them.

"If you don't tell them yourself within the next two days, I'll do it myself" he said. -"is that understood?"

"I can't tell them" I muttered

"You want me to do it for you?" He asked me

"No" I mumbled

"That's what I thought. I can't wait to see how you decide to tell them" He said rudely, before leaving and going back to the boys.

My heart dropped to the ground.

I couldn't tell them. They're all homophobes. I'd embarrass myself, and they would end up hating me. I can't imagine how they'd react.

I need to talk to Felix about this.
