Zelo straightened up and brushed away the last of his tears.

He had to do something to get away from Yongguk.

Like Yongguk's mom said, he was only a burden to him.

He didn't want to do this, but if it was for Yongguk hyung, he would do it.

Zelo made up his mind.

Youngjae, Daehyun, Himchan, and Jongup looked at Zelo in shock.

Himchan hissed,"Zelo, what the hell are you planning on doing? You have a goddamn boyfriend." 

Zelo nodded miserably.

"But this is for the best.... I don't want to be a burden to him."

Youngjae smiled kindly and slapped Zelo upside the head.

"CHOI JUNHONG-"

Zelo knew that Youngjae was not pleased if he used his real name in public.

"THAT MAN ING LOST HIS HOME AND PARENTS FOR YOU. IS THIS HOW YOU'RE GOING TO REPAY HIM?! IS THIS HOW Y-"

"I'm giving him a chance to go back, Youngjae hyung."

Jongup looked worried.

"Zelo, as much as I think that Yongguk also has to talk to his parents and work it out, I don't think that this is a good way to go around this situatio-"

"Zelo-ah, I think that you need to stop with this nonsense. He loves you, and he's a proud person. He's not going to go back."

Daehyung had paused in his eating to speak.

Everyone stared at him in shock.

Daehyun shrugged and continued eating.

"Youngjae, can you pass me that?"

Wordlessly, Youngjae handed him another box of food.

Yongguk made his way to Zelo, prepared to apologize about the bathroom incident.

Zelo saw him coming and started to back away.

Yongguk faltered in his steps for a second, but he kept walking.

"Zelo, why are you doing this?"

"B-Because-"

He grabbed a random person passing by.

"I'm not in love with you anymore! I love her..."

He glanced at the person's face.

".... ah, I mean... him?"

Yongguk looked unamused. He obviously did not believe anything that was coming out of Zelo's mouth.

Zelo saw the unspoken challenge in Yongguk's eyes, asking if Zelo was really doing this.

He in a deep breath and quietly, almost unnoticeably, whispered,"I'm sorry" to both Yongguk and the passerby.

He sealed his lips onto the other person's.

The boy tried to squirm away, but Zelo had an iron grip on him.

When he stopped mashing his lips onto the other's, Yongguk was gone.

He felt his heart crack a little, but he brushed it off.

It was for the best.

Zelo wiped his lips and took a look at the stranger.

"I'm really sorry about that. I'll explain it to you in a second. I'm Zelo, are you are..?"

"I'm Sungjong."
