Ch. 31- Exposed

The Raven and the Dove

Myungsoo's POV:

I came back to Sungyeol's house, and headed straight for my room. I slowly walked to my bed and sat down. For some reason, I didn't feel like I have any energy. What I didn't expect when Sunggyu-hyung came into my room was he had on a sad expression. A sad and hurtful expression.

 

FLASHBACK:

 

Sungjong and I were doing our homework and eating our snacks too. He needed some help on a few problems so I helped him with it. The problems weren't very hard also it let me even get closer to Sungjong. Whenever he needed my help, I would be able to scoot even closer to him. Then I reached out to grab a pencil but accidentally our fingers touched. My hand reflexed and I felt things get awkward between us.

" Myungsoo-hyung?"

" Hm?"

" Do you like anybody?"

" W-Why?" I started to get nervous because I was afraid that he knew that I liked him.

" Because I like you." My mind immediately went blank, and I did not process what he said right away. It went silent for a while, until I finally realized what he said.

" Y-You like m-me!?"

" Yeah I do."

I didn't know what was happening, but Sungjong was obviously getting closer to me. I tried backing away but I saw his eyes- they looked like they needed comfort and were hurt because of my actions. Unconsiously my head went towards his, and our lips met. The kiss was something I never experienced before because this was the first time I kissed a guy. My hands caressed his face, and my other hand went to hips. I dragged him even closer, and he wrapped his arms around my neck. Just then I heard the door open, and we broke apart.

" H-Hyung."

He had a sad expression on his face but then he smiled back at me and closed the door.

" I-I think I better go. Bye Myungsoo." Sungjong grabbed his stuff and left the house.

I went back downstairs to see hyung sitting down with his head in his hands. I began to get worried as to why hyung was being like this so I approached him. Then when he spoke up, I froze in my tracks.

" Myungsoo."

" Y-Yes?"

" Do you like Sungjong? Do you love Sungjong?"

" I-I can't say I love Sungjong, but I do know I like Sungjong also that I want to be with him."

" Are you sure?"

" Yes." I was very determined and sure with my answer that I could proudly answer back to him. Though I saw him sigh and he got up. He put a hand on my shoulder and bitterly smiled at me. 

" If you are sure then, I fully support you, but if you ever hurt somebody around you because of this.......I won't forgive you." I got shivers down my back when he said that and then he finally let got of my shoulder.

" Why would I hurt somebody around me? To be more exact, who I would hurt?"

 

FLASHBACK ENDS

 

What hyung said to me before still left me confused me, and I couldn't shake off those thoughts.  What bothered me even more was when he said if I ever hurt somebody. I was getting all stressed out because of this I decided to text to Sungjong. I realized that I wasn't able to say anything to Sungjong before he left, so I texted him. Though when I grabbed my phone, I got a message.

To: Myungsoo

From: Sungjongie

I was wondering....since we kissed...does that mean we are together?

I couldn't help but laugh at how cute he was being. He must have been really embarrassed when we were caught kissing. I sent a reply back to him right away.

To: Sungjongie

From: Myungsoo

Of course we are! We are now together! <3

I pressed sent and I blushed at the sight of the text. I don't usually send texts with hearts, but since it's Sungjong, I decided to send him one. I got a text back saying that he is happy. Inside of me I felt so happy that I was finally together with him! I squealed inside my head because it would just sound weird if that sort of sound came out of my mouth. I got up from my bed, but then I heard the door open and shut. I hurried down the stairs to see Sungyeol, but once I got a glance of him, he looked really tired.

" Is there something wrong Sungyeol?"

" Oh, you're home Myungsoo? Haha, yeah I'm a bit tired. I'm just going to go to wash up and got to bed. You can feed yourself right? Night." He walked passed me without looking at me and I sort of felt......disappointed?

" Okay then...Well I hope you get a good rest then." I heard him say thanks and then I heard him shut his door.

I walked over to the kitchen to make some ramyun for me since I was too lazy to actually make anything. While the ramyun was cooking I went upstairs to check if he was sleeping. I quietly opened his door, and I entered in. When I got close enough to see his bed, I made sure I was even more quiet. From the moon was shining in his room, I could see a figure on the bed. His back was facing me but his back look lonely. I wanted to hug him so badly but for reason I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

What are you doing Myungsoo? He is tired so you should leave him alone for the night!

I walked away from his bed and went back to downstairs. The ramyun was done cooking when I came back down, and I began to eat. Truthfully, I felt kind of lonely eating by myself. Since today at school it felt like Sungyeol and I put more distance between ourselves. I thought we got closer since he told me about his past, but maybe I was just kidding myself.

Maybe I should try to get even closer to him that way things won't be like this anymore. Oh that's right! I forgot about the keychains I got for Sungyeol and I!

I slurped the broth and threw it into the sink. I ran back into my room and opened my desk drawer and took out the two keychains. I held them out and through the light of the moon I could see something a pink or red color inside of them. Discarding my curiosity of what they were, I walked to Sungyeol's room. I had to look for his bag without the lights, but luckily the moonlight helped me out somewhat. I finally found his bag on his desk and tip toed over to his desk. I began looking over the bag to see where I can clasp the keychain onto, and I found the perfect place where he wouldn't see it right away in the morning.

I clasped the keychain onto his bag and quietly walked back to my room. I felt tired from everything that happened today, so I just laid on my bed and fell asleep.

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

Sungyeol's POV:

 

I was groggy when I woke up, and I didn't feel well at all. I took out the pills from my nightstand and went downstairs to get a glass of water. Then I put the pills in my mouth, drank the water, and swallowed. I put the glass in the sink, and went to get ready to school.

Must be my head hurting again, though I still feel a bit off. Maybe I didn't get enough sleep.

I brushed my teeth, washed my face, took off my sweats and put on my uniform. Then I grabbed my bag, but I saw something dangling from it. I turned my bag around to see the dove keychain I saw in Myungsoo's room a while ago. Slowly my hand reached for it and it felt nice in my hand. The glass dove felt nice against my fingertips, and I smiled. Myungsoo probably thought I wouldn't see it right away, he is such an idiot at times.

Before I walked out, I made sure my hair was styled perfectly over my scar, and that the scar was perfectly covered up with make up. When things looked good, I went downstairs to the smell of toast. Myungsoo already had toast with strawberry jam out and there was a cup of coffee for me too. I put my bag on the chair and began to eat. Even though it is a simple breakfast, it still tasted good, and that was enough to make me happy. I was drinking my coffee when I saw Myungsoo smiling at me. I smiled shyly back and went back to drinking my coffee.

So this is what it's like to be in love. It still feels a bit foreign, but I could get used to it. A breakfast made by him is already making me happy. I sound like a fool in love don't I? What have you done to me Kim Myungsoo?

I finished my cup of coffee and unexpectedly Myungsoo took my plate and cup and put them in the sink. Then he grabbed my bag, gave it to me, and we both walked out the house. He was walking in front of me and I didn't notice that he had a keychain on too. It was the raven keychain on his bag, and I couldn't help but blush. When we got into the car, I decided to ask him about the keychains.

" What is with the keychains?"

" Oh these?" He grabbed his and I grabbed mine. " Of course they symbolize our friendship! They are pretty aren't they!" He held up to the sun and it was reflecting off the sun.

" Friends......right. Anyways thanks." I let go of my keychain and focused my attention to the outside world.

Of course they would mean friendship! You are a fool Sungyeol! A big fool!

Then all of a sudden I started to cough, and my head began hurting again. The pain from my head hurted a little bit more than this morning, but I threw away the thought because I might be carsick. Myungsoo kept on talking about the keychains, but everything he said went over my head. I didn't feel like talking to him anymore until we got to school where everyone else was.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

At school....

 

Myungsoo and I were walking to our classroom, when we saw Sunggyu-hyung and Woohyun-hyung walking towards us. Woohyun-hyung looked happy when he saw us, but Sunggyu-hyung looked a bit sad. Though when he saw me, he immediately pulled up a smile, and greeted us.

" Hey Sungyeol and Myungsoo."

" Hi Sunggyu-hyung and Woohyun-hyung. Why is Woohyun-hyung smiling for? It gives me the creeps."

Sunggyu-hyung laughed at my comment, I was glad he did, and he just waved off my comment meaning that I wouldn't want to know. Then I saw hyung looking at Myungsoo then back to me, and his sad face came back on. I felt like he was hiding something from me, and I felt something bad was going to happen any day. Sunggyu-hyung noticed how what I was thinking and whispered into my ear.

" Don't worry, I'm alright." He smiled at me, and dragged Woohyun-hyung to their classroom.

" What did hyung say?" When Myungsoo asked me that, his expression looked scared for some reason. As if he had a secret too.

" Nothing, just asked me how I was doing. We should go to class." Myungsoo shrugged his shoulders at my comment, and we headed to class. Though when we arrived in our classroom, somebody was alrieady waiting for Myungsoo.

" Myungsoo-hyung!"

" Sungjong-ah!" Myungsoo rushed over to Sungjong and ruffled his hair. I stared at them for a good while until I felt somebody ruffle my hair. I looked up to see Kris right next to me.

" Hey Kris!"

" Hi Sungyeol, so how are you this morning."

" I'm okay.....but my head has been hurting since this morning."

" Really!? Are you okay? Do you need to go to the nurse's office!?"

" Woah slow down! I'm alright! I probably just have a bit of a headache, I will just get some rest when I go to the office." Kris didn't really believe me at first, but he just sighed and nodded his head.

" Oh yeah." Kris was walking to his seat but then he turned back to me.

" Hm?"

" You didn't thank me."

" T-Thank you for what!?"

" For ruffling your hair! I know you wanted me to ruffle your hair." I blushed when he said that because he was right. I did want to somebody to ruffle my hair, even though I really want Myungsoo to do it.

" T-Thank you...........Tch. Making me say thank you for the oddest reasons. I hate you!"

" Haha! I know you liked it! And I love you too!" Kris made a heart sign that only I would only see, and I blushed even harder. Also I laughed at how he was trying to be all cute, and thinking of him using aegyo made me laugh even more. Then all of a sudden he came really close to my face.

" I'm glad you are smiling." He smiled at me and walked to his seat. He left me there stunned and surprised by his actions and what he said.

I walked to my seat in a daze, until I felt a tug on my sleeve. I looked over my shoulder to see Myungsoo tugging on my sleeve, and gave me a questioning look. Then I looked at Sungjong who was looking at my bag. He was eying the keychain and I quickly pulled off my bag and put it on the side of my desk. I smiled at Myungsoo signaling it was nothing, and took out my notebook for class.

" Minwoo" I heard Sungjong say something, and I saw him looking out the window. Passing in the hallways was Minwoo and some other guy. Minwoo was walking with the guy who bullied them a while back, and then they both looked our ways. Minwoo had on a sad expression when he looked at Sungjong. Then the other guy wasn't looking at Sungjong or Myungsoo.........he was looking at me. He wasn't just staring at me, he was glaring at me. The guy was not giving me a good vibe so I looked away from him.

" Sungjong are you alright?"

" Yeah I'm alright. Nothing to worry about!" I wasn't convinced by the way Sungjong's voice, but I shouldn't be making assumptions.

Sungjong finally left when he realized there was a few minutes until the first class would start. He ran off and there was only Myungsoo left. I felt him tugging on my arm again and I turned to him. He looked like he was really excited to tell me something, then as he was about to say something, but the teacher came right in.

" Hello everybody! Now get into your seats and we will begin class!" Myungsoo wasn't able to say what he wanted to say, and I got mad at the teacher because they just had to come at the wrong time.

Great now I won't know what Myungsoo wanted to tell me.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

During lunch......

 

I walked to my locker while Myungsoo went to lunch ahead of me. When I opened my locker I finally realized something: I didn't get any notes yesterday! Also today there aren't any notes too! I thoroughly looked inside of my locker. The only things I saw were my books and some other things. After a few minutes I still didn't see any notes so I just shut my locker.

After I got something to eat and headed up to the roof, there was already somebody there. Slowly, I walked up to the person to see it was Minwoo-sshi.

" Minwoo-sshi?" I saw him wipe his tears quickly and he turned to me. When I saw his face I was shocked; his eyes were red and puffy as if he has been crying for a long time.

" I-It's you Sungyeol-sshi."

" Why are you here? Are you okay?" He nodded his head and he made some space for me to sit.

" I-I'm okay....also can you just call me Minwoo. I like that a bit better."

" Sure, then you can call me Sungyeol-hyung. Anyways why are you up here? Why are you crying?"

" You saw me crying huh? It's nothing really." I shook my head in dismay.

" It has something to do with Sungjong doesn't it? I saw your expression when you passed my classroom." I could feel him freeze up and that was when I knew I was right.

" I-It's just......he looks happy....Sungjong looks so happy with Myungsoo-sshi."

He's right. Sungjong and Myungsoo looked happy to see each other this morning. Maybe they are hiding something that nobody knows.

" I-I can tell that Sungjong likes Myungsoo.......S-Sungjong really likes Myungsoo-sshi." Then he started to cry loudly, and I pulled him into an embrace. His cries were deafened as he cried into my shoulder, but my heart started to feel heavy.

Is it true? Does Sungjong really like Myungsoo? If so, why haven't they tell me? Wait! I shouldn't jump to conclusions! They are just really friendly to each other! They are like brothers so of course they would act like that!

" Shhh. Don't cry anymore Minwoo. Don't cry anymore. Please, don't cry anymore." After a while he stopped crying and wiped away his tears.

" Thank you hyung for comforting me. I better get going now before Donghyun-sshi gets mad at me." He started to walk away until I stopped him.

" Is Donghyun the person you have been with for a while now?" His smile was a sad smile, and then he just left like that. I saw him close the door but then the door opened again. The person coming out of the door was Kris and Tao holding their food in their hands.

" Who was that Sungyeol?"

" Just a friend. Now how about we eat our lunches? I haven't ate mine yet so let's dig in!" Tao laughed at my comment, but Kris didn't believe anything I said. He gave me a questioning look, but he knew better. I saw him sigh and take a big bite out of his sandwhich.

---------------------------------------------------------

Dongwoo's POV:

 

It was the end of the day and I was still at school working on some stuff. Something or to be more exact somebody was bothering me- Sunggyu-hyung.

" Hyung, is there something wrong? Your mind has been out of it the whole day." Hyung looked up from where he was at and gave out a deep sigh.

" I saw something I didn't want to see." Then I saw him ruffle his head in frustration and laid his head back against the sofa. We were in the student council office and luckily they had sofas in the room.

" What do you mean?" I was confused as to what he was talking about.

" I-I can't say. It would make things complicated. It's best if things are kept quiet until later when it's right to say everything. The thing is.......I feel like our relationship between the seven of us is going to get complicated."

I saw him sigh again, and I couldn't help but worry too. This was the first time I saw hyung being like this, and he hates these sort of situations. All I could do was shake my head too, and then the door flew open.

" Finally I found all of those students!" Sunggyu-hyung and my head flew up when Hoya walked into the room and flop onto the sofa across from hyung.

" What do you mean Hoya?" Sunggyu-hyung still doesn't know what happened between Sungyeol and these notes he has been getting. The only people who knew were Hoya and I.

" Well I guess I can tell you.....Sungyeol has been getting these notes to stay away from the six of us." I saw Sunggyu-hyung's go really wide and sighed again. I swear if he keeps on sighing he is going to get older and get wrinkles.

" You mean Sungyeol has been getting notes to stay away from us? How long has this been going on?"

" For about a week. I have been tracking those punks who have been putting those notes in there for these past two days. That's why you didn't see me at lunch or in our classes today and yesterday."

" You have been tracking those people? Wow. Hoya finally being the good brother for once." I rolled my eyes at Sunggyu-hyung's comment, but I knew he was right. Hoya told me he has been trying to get on Sungyeol's good side these past two years, but since Sungyeol left last year to travel around, he never got the chance.

" Shut up Sunggyu-hyung! Dongwoo-hyung let me see the security cameras that are around his locker, and I was able to find the culprits. Let's just say if they want to see another day, they will have to stop what they are doing." Hyung and I just shook our heads at him, but at least he was trying to protect Sungyeol.

Hoya fell asleep on the sofa while Sunggyu-hyung and I kept on working on our stuff. Though the thing hyung said earlier kept on bothering me.

" Hyung please tell me...........What did you see you didn't want to see?"

" I don't want to talk about it Dongwoo." I slammed my fist on the table and luckily Hoya didn't wake up from it. Also luckily Hoya was listening to his music while he slep that way he wouldn't hear our conversation. Sunggyu-hyung for who knows how many times, and I knew he was going to tell me. 

" Just tell me hyung!"

" Sungjong and Myungsoo.........." He was reluctant on telling me, but he knew if he didn't tell, I would keep on begging him.

" What about them hyung?"

" They are........t-together." My eyes went wide and my mouth was opened in shock. I was truly shocked because I never expected Myungsoo and Sungjong to get together.

" R-Really? A-Are you sure?"

" Yeah.......I saw them kissing in Myungsoo's room." I put my head in my hands and shook my head.

" Dongwoo....."

" Hm?"

" I'm afraid things are going to get even more complicated." I shook my head in agreement and I told hyung that he can leave.

So.......Myungsoo and Sungjong are going out now. What did hyung truly mean that things are going to get complicated? I hope it won't affect us that badly.....I can't stand to lose my friends.

I stood up from my seat and walked over to Hoya. I sat next to him and carefully pushed away his bangs. Then I leaned down and kissed his forehead gently, and then to wake him up I slapped his cheek.

" Yah! What was that for hyung! That hurts!"

" Aww! I'm sorry Hoaegi.......Not! Now hurry up or I'm going to leave without you! I could hear Hoya packing up his stuff quickly and I chuckled to myself.

Yeah....I like staying like this....

----------------------------------------------------------------

The next day.....

 

Sungyeol's POV:

 

I told Myungsoo to go ahead of me to school since I didn't feel like being with him at this moment. When I opened my locker I saw a note, and I opened it slowly. My eyes grew wider as I read it, and I dropped in onto the ground. I didn't know what I was doing so I picked up the note and threw it back into my locker.

S-Somebody knows who I am! Somebody knows that I am Lee Sungyeol the CEO of Lee Corporations! H-How is that possible!?

I was a little bit late to class but the teachers understood that most of the time. I opened the door but I didn't notice that someting was going to fall on me.

 

 

 

(A/N: OMG! I just put together Myungjong! *goes hide in a corner*. and awww Hoya told those punks to stop putting notes into Sungyeol's locker! But OH NO! Somebody knows Sungyeol's secret! What is going to happen!?)
