I didnt want to keep you guys waiting so i cranked out a chapter and decided to do edits after i was done. Here it is fresh out the oven~~

 

Besides some bullying from "fangirls" the next week was uneventful. Aron was still an ahole but he became somewhat less of one after they started hanging out. Everyday after school they would either head to a dinner or would rotate between each others homes and would repeat the same process. Talk about who might've spread those pictures, do homework and when d.o left get into more detail. They had a few extra members since d.o had joined them. His friends kris and luhan decided to join them too. They were all at the school gates waiting for the later 3 when Aron shocked most of them. He looked towards jimin

"yah jimin" jimin tensed up waiting for Aron to insult him but all he got was

"Lunch on Me today, yeah?" Minhyun smiled

"that's the closest his small brain can get to an apology" most wouldn't have been able to see it but the whole group noticed how tense Aron was in waiting for jimin reply

"I'm getting the most expensive thing on the menu" jimin said as he smiled his cheeks puffing up, eyes becoming small crecents.

"I'm glad we're all getting along but where the hell are they?" JR asked getting impatient. They were waiting for almost 20 minutes now, the only people left in the school were a few clubs and kids that needed tutoring. They were about to leave when they saw the trio exiting the school.

"The took you so long" Aron said and avoided minhyuns elbow to his ribs

"I'm not falling for that agai-" he was cut off when Minhyun kicked his feet out from beneath him

"what was that aron?" Minhyun asked mocking Aron as he cupped his hand around his ear to hear him better.

"I said!!" Aron all but yelled

"thati'dwatchmylanguage" he said quickly as he saw minhyun getting ready to attack him again. Aron looked towards jimin with puppy eyes

"help me up?" He asked with an outstretched hand

"so you can pull me down too? No thank you" jimin said as he laughed at Aron's crestfallen face. They all set out. It was odacys turn to house their meeting and the closer they got to her house the more nervous she became. She never brought any friends home let alone 7 boys all at once. It should've been 9 but they let ren and baeko get some

"alone time". Odacy put the pin to the lock and the door clicked open. She was hoping her mom wasn't in the house when her moms voice rang out from the kitchen

"Odacy is that you?"

"Yeah mom. Is it OK if I have a few friends over" she said walking into the kitchen

"of course, how many?" ........"Odacy how many?"

"...a few. Yes?! thanks mom bye!!"

"Odacy wait what do you-" sunmi sighed as she watched her daughters figure leaving the kitchen

"well at least she has friends now" she said as she began preparing snacks for the kids in her living room. It was about 5 minutes after they started that her mother walked into the room carrying a small tray of snacks. When she saw how many people there actually were the tray in her hand slipped, she still caught it in time to catch every last snack back on the tray before leaving and returning a few moments later with a much bigger tray. Unlike D.O, Kris and luhan knew what the rest of them did. So they always rotated. One would leave with d.o to not make him suspicious and the one that stayed behind would fill the other with the new info. Today they decided that kris would leave with d.o and luhan would stay behind. After the pair left they resumed a more serious conversation.

"OK so who was the first person or at least the first people to get the picture" JR asked Kris seriously

"well at first it was D.O that got it, then he told Kai, baekhyun, sehun and lay. Then from there the rest of us got the news slowly over time" they heard the bell ring and Odacys mom sigh

"I take what I said back" odacy's mom said as she walked into the living room

"you were perfect when you didnt have a lot of friends" she stepped aside to reaveal the coffe colored girl that only Kris and Odacy recognized

"Samantha? What are you doing here and how do you know where Odacy lives?"

"She's known me for a while. We used to live in busan together" Odacy replied.

"Yeah yeah skip the talk I have news!! I know who the first person to get the picture was!!"

"We know that already. It was D.O"

"it wasn't, The first person that got it was Kai"

"but that doesn't make sense. Why would Kai spread the rumor" Kris asked.

"He wouldn't...unless he was the intended target" JR replied.

"But why would they target Kai with a picture of Odacy and baeko? As nice of a body as that is I don't think anyone would spread it unless he liked her" Aron said surprisingly making a smart connection.

"But it still doesn't make sense. We don't know for sure that he likes Odacy. The only reason I would see to spread it is to break up their friendship"

"or..." Aron began "to break Kai's heart. Think about it. He's in love with this girl so I'll show him she's a lying cheat, then fix his broken heart" 

"wait, wait, wait." Kris said as the gears in his mind began to turn

"d.o always goes to Kai's house after these meetings.."

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" Odacy mummbled remembering what Samantha had told her before.

"He was tricking us all along" minhyun said In disbelief. Kris picked up his phone and dialed luhan number

"come back with D.O......trust me you'll understand when you get here.....yeah ok bye" Kris ended the call and nodded his head yes answering the unspoken question everyone seemed to be directing towards him. When luhan and d.o walked in everyone turned to look at him.

"Why did you do it?"Odacy asked as her fists curled up and her face changing to a deepening red by the minute.

"Do what?" D.o asked curiosity clear on his face.

"So you get caught and act like you don't know!!" Aron practically yelled while standing ready to punch the curiosity off of his face. D.O turned to Kris then luhan then at everyone else In the room wondering what it was he has seemingly done.

"What did he do?" Luhan asked curiously.

"He's the one that photoshopped the picture of odacy and baeko" JR said from where he was sitting on the couch.

"What? Why would I do that?!"

"So you could mend a broken heart" Samantha stated.

"But if he wanted to mend a broken heart wouldn't he have not made the picture to begin with?" Luhan asked curiosity still clearly written on his face

"he made the picture so kai would get a broken heart because he had feelings for Odacy. I'll show you how trashy she is and how im perfect for you"

"but that doesn't make sense. That would have to mean that d.o liked kai as more then a friend" they all turned to d.o. he hung his head low in shame he didn't know when or why he started liking boys but one day it just hit him that he was gay and that he happened to like his best friend. D.O felt like everyone was judging him as tears began to prickle his eyes.

"I do like him" he confessed after a long silence and quickly added

"but I'm not the one that edited that photo! That's why I tried to help you find out who did. If Kai likes you then your name being cleared would help him feel better" most of the people in the room was shocked while aron mummbled out

"ing . You couldn't have said that in the first place!!" Minhyun was quick to discipline Aron as he found himself trapped in a very awkward position.

"I told you to not say that to or about anyone" " alright alright I'll apologize to the fa-" Aron clutched him harder

"OK fu*k d.o I'm sorry" minhyun released Aron. "So if you didn't do it" Aron said Rolling over "who did?"

"There's only two people I told my secret to.....baekhyun and sehun"

"it couldn't have been sehun cause he was always hang in out with me" luhan said as he thought back to around the time the picture came out

"then we have our culprit. The only person it could be is baekhyun. Do you know where he is right now?" JR asked breaking his silent streak, all but minhyun jumped having forgotten he was in the room.

"I can call him and ask" d.o said after his initial fear wore off.

"Hey baek where are you?......why are you there?......something came up so I couldn't go on time....alright....I'm coming" D.O ended the call

"he's at Kai's"

"how perfect. I say....we go over there, tie him on a thin rope and see if its strong enough to bungee jump him off a house Aron said, they all would've thought it was a joke had they not seen how serious Aron's face was. They were all quickly reminded that although Aron softened up for them he was still a serious and very threatening a**hole.

"Agreed" JR said with a face just as straight as Aron's and at that moment they knew for sure why JR was the leader as he went in his bag and fetched a rope

" you guys never actually did that before have you?" Odacy asked and was answered with silence. The room became very tense before jimin whom they had forgotten was there broke it

"I don't think we'll need that" he laughed nurvously as he took the rope out of JR's hand.

"Let's go finish this case before baekhyun catches on and leaves kais house" he said this time with a small smile. He was happy to know that Odacy truly took no part in what happened in the photo but was upset that baekhyun set her up to begin with. He understood that he was trying to help a friend but there were different ways to go about that that didn't involve Odacy getting her back by all her friends and bullied by those who weren't. Kai's house was about an hour and a half away from odacys so they all ended up taking the bus. They arrived at Kai's front door about 30 minutes later. When Kai opened the door he saw Odacy

"what are you doing here?" He asked clearly upset that she had the nerve to show him her face.

"Kai let us in. Someone has some explaining to do" Kris said 

"what explaining is left? She helped baeko cheat on ren. You guys are lucky that he even took you back"

"she's not the one that needs to do the explaining" luhan explained as he stepped up lightly pushing Kai further into the house and allowing the others to enter. They were all quickly settled in his living room. Kai's parents were still at work so it was just them Kai and baekhyun.

"You seem nervous bacon" Aron said mocking his name in the process.

"Why would I be?" Baekhyun asked in  fake nonchalant tone.

"If you confess I'll make an ATTEMPT to forgive you" Odacy said lookin straight into baekyuns eyes.

"What's going on here?!" Kai asked finally frustrated with being left in the dark"

"I'll show you" minhyun said as he walked up to beakhyun and yanked his phone off of his person.

"Unlock it" Aron said outstreatching the phone twards baekhyun. Baekhyun. Unlocked his phone as Minhyun took it and began clicking on it incredibly fast.

"What are you doing?" Samantha asked "fetching pictures. Proof of what he's done" baekhyun looked smug but that smug face vanished when every person the the room received a message. Kai looked shocked to the point that he paled. Baekhyun look to see what shocked his friend so bad and saw the picture of Odacy and baeko there were two copies of the picture one before and after he edited it and under them wrote that it was baekhyun doing, and even if he denied it the message was sent from his phone so denial wasn't an option.

"How did you?!? I deleted those!!" Baekhyun yelled in a hurry not noticing his slip up.

"Minhyun is an excellent hacker. Bringing back a few pictures was probably childs play to him" Aron said an air of cockiness and pride flowing not only around but through him as well.

"Oh no worries. There's no deleting it now because I sent the whole school a copy of that text" baekhyun looked towards Kai to see His reaction and was met with fury.

"Why would you do that?"

"I can explain-"

"was it fun?!"

"I said I'd explai-"

"did you enjoy watching me breakdown at the thought of her having done that to her best friend?!"

"I DID IT CAUSE I DIDNT ENJOY SEEING MY FRIEND BREAK DOWN ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS" Kai was shocked by baekhyun revelation

"what?" He asked

"I was sick and tired of seeing it. And you never took notice. So I did something to make you see. This person that looked at you like you were a million bucks and then being completly ignored over some girl you just met"

"who was it?" Kai asked his voice horse from screaming.

"I can't say...its not my secret to tell" baekhyun said as he all but ran out of Kai's house. Kai looked at his best friend

 "Do you know who he was talking about?" He asked d.o. after a few tense seconds Aron started laughing

"oh god. How ironic is this" he said as he laughed harder

"he asked his bestfriend whose in love with him if he knows who his secret admirer is. How classic" Aron said as he tried to wipe the tears that seemed to keep streaming down his eyes from his extreme laughing fit.

"Kai's eyes widened as he registered what Aron just said.

"Get out" he said

"but kai-"

"GET OUT" he screamed.

"You stay" he said pointing at d.o. when they were outside of Kai's house JR gently slapped Aron in the back of his head

"nice job" he said

"yeah a**hole" luhan joined in.

"No I seriously mean he did something good. Had he not done that he never would've confessed his feelings and baekhyun never would've told" jimin looked towards Aron and hoped on his back

"you're just a fluffy marshmallow on the inside aren't you he giggled before Aron threatened to flip him off.

"With spikes" jimin added with a pout as he got off. "We should celebrate odacys new found innocence!! Let's go eat some ice cream!!" Jimin suggested for once not caring about his weight.
