The intense gaze from the crowd gathered made Hyunwoo feel smaller than ever.

They kept asking him if he liked Soohyun and whether he was gay.

They shoved the cellphone displaying a picture of them kissing in his face. 

Hyunwoo wanted to run away so badly...

But he was trapped by them. 

"Are you mute? I am talking to you, you know. Stop keeping us waiting and answer us..." The school bully slapped Hyunwoo's cheek lightly. 

He was on the brink of tears, but he knew he musn't cry. 

"Stop it." He mumbled. 

"What? Say it louder dude! I can't hear you." 

"He said STOP IT! Are you deaf?" Soohyun yelled as he pried open the crowd and made his way to Hyunwoo. 

Hyunwoo's eyes were sparkling with tears by then and that ignited something within Soohyun. 

He threw a punch on the bully's face and within seconds, a fistfight broke out.

-

"So... May I know why all of you were fighting on school grounds?" The teacher asked calmly as he scrutinised the boys. 

None of them spoke. 5 minutes passed and it was just dead silence. 

Hyunwoo looked down and Soohyun side-eyed the bully. 

"Fine. Since nobody is going to speak. I'll let this off with a minor booking, but next time it won't be easy on you guys anymore. Understand?!"

The boys thanked, bowed and exited the room. 

"You ing gays." The bully mouthed before walking off.

Soohyun looked to Hyunwoo who merely returned a meek smile. 

"Maybe, it's wrong for me to love him..."
