L.Joe's POV:

I was about to enter it when I heard two familiar voices talking at the bench. I approached them and found Rochelle and Minho-ssi talking.

"She has L.Joe."

I narrowed my brows and stepped closer from behind.

"She never really liked him. He blocked her, he , made fun of her and whatsoever."

Were they talking about the past?

"She was pretty much close to Changjo and eventually told him that she likes Taemin a lot. But she never mentioned if it was just liking between friends or something more. But I guess I finally found out how it is."

I gulped as my eyes widened. Was this for real?

Minho-ssi turned and his eyes also widened. I didn't care much so I clenched my fist and went in without saying something. I knew what to do this time. Because I was no more a selfish kid.

 

Minho's POV:

After L.Joe went in I brought Rochelle back. As we made our way to the emergency room we found Onew hyung with a tablet of teacups. He told us to come with him - which we did and entered a room. I smiled at the sight of Taemin sitting beside the bed and holding Charlene's hand. To be honest I've never seen him so serious before.

I approached him and patted his back when Onew hyung told us to get out. I smiled at him before leaving.

As we made our way to the cafeteria, TEEN TOP approached us in full speed.

"WHERE IS SHE?!" Changjo panicked.

"In her room. She's okay again." Jonghyun hyung reassured and they all sighed in relief.

"Where's L.Joe?" Key hyung then asked raising a brow.

"He went first." Ricky pouted.

"He said he was already in her room a few moments ago," Niel added. We all looked at each other with widened eyes.

"Uh-oh." Onew hyung whispered

"This is gonna be bad. Very bad." Jonghyun hyung added.

 

Narrator's POV:

L.Joe went to Charlene's room with a clenched fist. He peeked in and found Taemin crying silently to himself.

"I'm so sorry. It's all my fault."

L.Joe bit his lower lip as Taemin leaned forward and kissed the unconscious girl's forehead. He closed his eyes and opened it again a few seconds later only to see the older going to her lips and kiss them gently.

"I love you."

L.Joe closed the door and slid down to the floor letting Rochelle's words from before sink into his mind. Tears started to build in his eyes as anger and disappointment spread through his body. Changjo saw the older and approached him.

"Hyung, what's wrong?" He asked. L.Joe stood up in frustration and ruffled his hair messily before punching into a nearby object.

"Hyung, we-- THE HELL?!"

His fist started bleeding. Changjo's eyes widened and he immediately snatched L.Joe's hand.

"ARE YOU INSANE?!" The boy yelled as L.Joe the older collapsed on his knees and started crying.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?! WHY AM I ALWAYS THE ONE WHO GETS PLAYED WITH?!" L.Joe yelled. Changjo gave him a look not fully understanding what he meant. He opened the door only to see Taemin sleeping on a chair beside the bed while holding Charlene's hand. He then closed the door again and sighed.

"Hyung, do you know what to do when the girl you like doesn't reflect your feelings?" Changjo asked as he crouched down. L.Joe looked away, afraid of what the answer would be.

"Let her go. Trust me, it's best if you give her up."

"From where did you get this?" L.Joe asked as he wiped his tears away.

"Experience," Changjo said with a smile and gave a thumbs up. L.Joe laughed and ruffled the younger's hair.

"Ew! You know I hate this!" The boy whined and set his hair again.

"Come on; your hand is still bleeding," Changjo said and stood up. L.Joe did the same and trailed behind to get a bandaged.
