Chunji's POV

I couldn't help but feel left out as I watched Niel and L.Joe play Kawi bawi bo. They'd been playing it for quite a long time. I wasn't surprised seeing as it was Niel's favourite game, when he wasn't losing that is. L.Joe seemed to be enjoying playing with the younger boy. I was happy that they were getting along well but I didn't feel very good at being left out.

All I could do was sit and do my school work as I heard them laughing. The jealous feeling still wouldn't leave the pit of my stomach. I narrowed the cause down to either me being jealous of the new boy enjoying my best friends company more than mine or I was jealous of Niel getting all L.Joe's attention.

Ever since I was a kid I was always the center of attention. I was an only child so my parents doted on me day and night. When I entered school I made friends right away and they all doted on me too.

I mostly got my attention from my looks. Alot of people got close to me just to hopefully get a shot of dating me. I didn't really date many people because I couldn't trust anyone. Did they like me because of me or because of my looks? That was the biggest arguement I had with myself when it came to dating people.

Once I dated a guy in my first year of high school and he seemed to really like me... at first. After a week or two of dating he started treating me like garbage. CAP ended up having to chase him off for me. CAP use to be my savior when it came to boyfriends, it was one of the only good things about him.

CAP and I met back in middle school after we were paired up for a class project. CAP was too lazy to do any of the work so I ended up doing the whole lot. After the project was over CAP kept following me and wouldn't leave me alone. It was really annoying at first, he'd sit beside me and would bother me every five minutes.

After a little while I eventually got use to him being around. Whenever he wasn't around it felt weird. I was too use to his presence. A while into our friendship I started noticing odd things about the way he was treating me. He'd get annoyed if I wasn't near by, he treated me like I was his property and he'd get annoyed at anyone who got close to me.

Once we'd started high school and CAP got popular among other students and I started getting really tired of how he treated me. I was suppose to be a friend and not a posession. When I met Niel I noticed how different it was to be friends with someone else. Niel was much more carefree than CAP. He loved playing games and playfully teased his friends. He was so much fun.

After a while CAP noticed I wasn't by his side all the time and he got really annoyed at me. I stood up to him and told him I didn't want anything to do with him anymore. He really wasn't happy with that but what could he do?

I left him and spent all my time with Niel. It was all my fault that Niel was being picked on by CAP. I chose to be his friend and I chose to stop my friendship with CAP, Niel had nothing to do with it. 

It was probably one of the main reasons I was always looking out for Niel. I felt bad about how his life at school was turning out.

Even though Niel also had Ricky and Changjo as friends, he never seemed to lean on either of them us much as me. It was probably because they were both younger and a little more immature. I'd always be the one he'd call for help. I'd always be there for him though. If he'd been hurt i'd be there, if he needed help with school i'd be there, anything and i'd be there for Niel.

But here I sat, watching Niel leaning on someone else, not paying me one little bit of attention. Maybe now would be a good time to start doing more for myself. If Niel had L.Joe then he wouldn't need to depend on me as much and I would be free to do as I wanted. I gotta say, the idea of it seemed pretty interesting.

"Yah L.Joe, lets take a selca!" I couldn't help but hear Niel suggest. L.Joe laughed in return and nodded. It didn't really mean anything, Niel took alot of selca's. He had selca's with me, Changjo and Ricky on his phone. We'd all take selca's with each other. I guess L.Joe was just gonna be one of the few lucky people to get a place on Niel's phone.

Niel got closer to L.Joe and held his phone out. He moved the phone around a few times before deciding that L.Joe would hold the phone so that Niel could pose anyway he wanted. I held back a snicker as poor L.Joe sat there while Niel tried to make the perfect pose.

The pose he chose was a real shock to me.

Niel on the other hand seemed extremely happy with his new selca and started flaunting it infront of me. L.Joe didn't really react to the pose, he just laughed when Niel started giggling about his, probably new favourite, selca.

I looked at it and felt the jealousy bubbling in my stomach again. L.Joe was stealing away my best friend. Looking at the small blonde the jealousy didn't disappear. Niel was my best friend not his.

-----------

I wasn't usually like this. I was never the jealous kind, not even a little bit. I never got jealous of anyone. I didn't even think i'd be jealous of Niel falling for someone. I didn't care when he told me he had a crush on L.Joe. I found it weird but I wasn't jealous.

But if I was feeling this way I must have been jealous of L.Joe right?

I suddenly felt myself run into something and fell backwards. It felt like i'd just bashed into a big rock or a wall. This was all I needed, jealousy that was plaguing me and now a pain in the .

The mountain that I'd bashed into started chuckling and I couldn't help but feel very pissed off. Hopefully no one else would have seen what happened. I wouldn't be able to live it down.

"Are you not even gonna take my hand princess?"

I cringed and looked up to meet the amused grin of Bang Minsoo. Oh how I hated that grin.

I took his outstretched hand and he pulled me up with ease, I'd almost have fell onto him if it weren't for my quick reflexes. Chances are if I fell on him he wouldn't let me forget it. CAP was an like that,

"I think you bruised my chest with the force of you running into me" he rubbed his chest mockingly with his non faultering grin. "I'll bruise your chin in a minute if you don't wipe that stupid grin of your face"

he just laughed "I've had bugs hit me harder than you'd be able to hit me" he took my arm in his grasp and moved my hand around "If you hit me you'd probably break your hand" he continued to mock. I pulled my hand away and shoved him. "Yah! Not everyone was born with abs like you"

CAP grinned even wider than before. "I thought you didn't wanna talk to me"

"I'm not talking to you!"

"Clearly" he flicked my forehead. He did it hard and it made my eyes water. "That hurt!" I started rubbing my forehead. "Aww i'm sorry princess"

"Why do you keep calling me that? It's really embarressing" I put my hand down and I saw that his grin turned into more of a soft smile. It was a change seeing it on CAP's face. I hadn't seen him smile like it in a long time.

"I'm just playing around Chanhee, you know that" he lightly nudge me and I couldn't help but laugh at the fact he was still using my real name. I had never given him permission to use my nickname. When my friends gave me that nickname I wasn't friends with CAP at the time and I didn't plan on ever being friends so I didn't see why I'd need to.

Maybe I should give him permission, he didn't seem as bad now.

L.Joe's POV

Niel was following me around like a lost little puppy all lunch time. I gotta say I wasn't use to someone following me, I guess this was what Chunji felt like all the time. We were actually a little confused at the fact the red head had left as soon as the bell went signalling lunch time.

I felt really disappointed. I'd spent all time in class talking and messing around with Niel that I didn't get a chance to talk to Chunji. If anything it almost felt like we were ignoring him. I thought it was odd that Niel would ignore him like that, he just focused all his attention all on me.

Looking at Niel he seemed more interested in looking for Chunji than talking to me now. Maybe he was bored of me already. I didn't know whether to be happy or sad about that.

"Hey fish lips!"

Wait, what?

Both me and Niel turned around to find the person who's voice it was. It was a guy who i'd seen hanging around the school. He didn't seem like much, just a random guy who thought he'd just start something.

Niel had put his hand over his mouth and was looking at the boy. I'm guessing the insult was aimed at Niel.

I'd never actually been there to experience Niel getting picked on by another person. I was hoping I didn't have to experience it at all and that maybe that the whole bullying was part of Niel's imagination. But it seemed like it was true after all.

The guy walked over and shoved Niel hard, almost making him lose his balance.

"Hey!"

He looked at me and I saw Niel sort of hide behind me where I couldn't see him. At least now I knew he wasn't gonna bother Niel. The only problem was that he was annoyed at me now.

"Who's this fishy? your little protector?" he looked me over before smirking to himself "You're a little short"

I felt my eyebrow twitch and I clenched my fists. The one thing I couldn't tolerate people calling me and he called me it. This kid clearly wanted a beating.

"What's wrong shrimp? did I touch a nerve?" he let his hand rest on my head and that was it. I grabbed his arm and pushed him hard against the opposite wall. I heard Niel gasp from behind me and the boy against the wall had shut up. I may have been a push over back in America but not here. I wasn't gonna let some idiot push me around.

I grabbed the guys collar and pushed him further against the wall. He looked at me and any sign of mischief he had on his face before was definitely gone now.

"Now i'm gonna ignore that you called me short and touched my head but if you pick on my friend or touch him again I will personally make sure that you can't talk for a week... got it?"

The guy sheepishly nodded and I left go of him. It took him barely a second to realize i'd let go and for him to run off. I sighed and rubbed my neck. I hated being like that.

All air suddenly escaped my chest when I felt Niel collide with my back in a tight back hug. Well... I think i've definitely secured my friendship with Niel now.

I let him hug me for a bit before I took his arms off and turned to him. "No one has ever stood up for me like that before. Thanks so much L.Joe!" he quickly bowed in thanks and I couldn't help but feel a little embarressed.

I put my hand on his shoulder and raised him up. "Niel it was nothing, don't mention it"

I had to say, I hadn't seen a smile as big as the one on Niel's face right now.

----

After a little while of reassuring Niel that he didn't have to repay me in any way for what I'd done back then. That kid could really think up alot of ideas when it came to thanking people. I almost said yes to a few of them but I really wanted to keep to my 'not needing repayment' idea.

Niel had decided he needed to go to do some more studying in the library. He'd asked if I wanted to join him but I really wanted to try and find Chunji to apologise for not talking to him in class.

Chunji was the first person to make me feel welcome to the school and I didn't want him thinking that I was over it. One, that was rude and two, I really liked the red head head. I didn't quite know what it was about him that I liked, I just liked him. I wanted to get to know him more. If he thought I was ignoring him he might never wanna talk to me again. I definitely didn't want that.

I looked for him everywhere but I just couldn't find him. I was almost worried that i'd get lost looking for him. Lucky enough I didn't.

There was only one more place to check, which was outside by the school field. Chances are that'd be where he was. At least outside i'd be able to get Chunji alone. I didn't wanna risk Niel or someone else coming along while we were talking. I just wanted to talk to him alone. No one else, just us.

I walked out into the grounds and was thankful for the warmth of the sun that greeted me. I didn't like the idea of having to sit outside in the cold while talking to Chunji. My size tended to make me get too cold too easily. I wouldn't have been able to concentrate on Chunji if I was freezing my off while we talked.

Walking to the field I started looking around for him. A few other students were dotted around the field but barely anyone were sitting near each other.

It then brought me to wonder why Chunji was out here in the first place. Was he angry or upset because of class? Was he meeting someone? or was he feeling sick? I guess I wouldn't know unless I talked to him.

I decided to check the more secluded area's of the field. There were certain parts that were hidden from view because of buildings and classrooms, and if you wanted privacy then they'd be a great places to check. If Chunji was upset then he'd probably have went there to get privacy.

I looked behind a few buildings but he wasn't behind those either. I was almost wondering if he'd left the school. But then I saw him. Sitting on the grass by the computer building, entangled in the arms of none other than CAP. Their lips locked in a passionate kiss.

CAP had his arms wrapped around Chunji's small waist, pulling him in as close as possible. Chunji let his hands rest against CAP's chest.

It made me sick to my stomach and I felt like running away but I was too shocked to go. Of all the people he could be kissing right now, why did it have to be CAP?

My stomach twisted and my heart started beating frantically. I couldn't stand it anymore and I forced myself to run away. The same question plaguing my mind.

Why was he kissing CAP?!
