The Cost of Being Friends
Description
When life gives you lemons, what do you do? Make lemonade, right?
"Well sometimes, you can't make lemonade, because someone takes the sugar."
Lee Minhae and Park Yoonhae never would have thought that their friend, Moon Jaenus, would take their 'sugar' away from them. To them, Jaenus was a caring girl, who always cared for them as much as they cared for her. She was a girl who abused at home, a girl with ungrateful parents. A girl who has the grades they were envious of, but still cared for nevertheless. To them, Jaenus was a great friend.
But to Moon Jaenus, Minhae and Yoonhae were people who she could get attention from. Her parents always worked, they always had to take care of her little sister, so they never had the time to look after her. Minhae and Yoonhae were the perfect people to tell pity stories to. They were gullible enough to believe her 'little white lies'. They were the only people that would care enough.
Who would've known that innocent Jaenus could put off such a facade? Minhae never knew that being in a friendship with her would cause so much stress. Niether did Yoonhae.
In the midst of it all, Jaenus had one goal: to get Byun Baekhyun to be hers. She hated how Yoonhae stole his attention from her. She hated how she would have to try her best to get him to notice her. She hated how Yoonhae was the only one that Baekhyun talked to on a regular basis. She also hated how Yoonhae how she was stealing Minhae away from her as well...
Meanwhile, in all of the stress she had to deal with, Minhae found the perfect person--other then Yoonhae--to relieve her stress too: Kim Sunggyu, the school's rockstar.
And while Minhae found her match, so did Yoonhae. No, it wasn't Baekhyun, but someone even better: the quiet, reserved Kim Myungsoo.

Jaenus
I want attention. I need it. I miss it. My parents are too busy to look after me, and to care for me, because they know that I can take care of myself. They shower my little sister with it, because she's still young. But what about me? I have feelings, too. Are you just going to abandon me, just because of her and your job? Just because you buy me things, doesn't make it right. I want your attention. Give it to me, because I need it, too. I may not be a kid anymore, but I want your love. I'm your daughter, too, right?
Since my parents don't give me what I miss, I turn to my friends in school: Minhae and Yoonhae. They'll care for me no matter what, as long as I throw in a pity story once in a while. Little white lies can be told, right? I'll do anything for the attention I don't recieve that home. They'll never figure out my facade. They're too gullible, even when Yoonhae is generally smart. I seem innocent, and my acting is amazing. I've got them both wrapped around my finger. They have enough attention from their parents. I want it, too.
Baekhyun, however, isn't as easy as I thought. I tell him my stories, I shower him with gifts and food, but what does he do? He feels pity for one second, before changing the topic. He's so dreamy though. I'd do anything to make him mine. Yoonhae is hogging all of his attention. He only really talks to her. I'm jealous, because his attention should be on me. It should be on me, because I'm the one who likes him, not Yoonhae. He should give up on her, because she already likes someone else. No need to change her mind of something that's completely set.
I'd do anything for the attention I don't get at home. Even if it meant hurting others for it. Even if it takes a lot of drama, or a little drama. I want it. I like it. I need it. I miss it. And I'm going to do anything to get it.
