Chapter SeventeenHe's Finding Out the Truth    I was officially confused, but I wasn't really sure of my way around it. How exactly am I supposed to think straight when Daehyun is supposedly making a plan with the girl who seemed to try to kill me behind my back?"LaeJoon-ah! Please hear me--" Zelo was running towards me, but I couldn't seem to keep on focus. My mind kept wandering back to Daehyun. Was he faking the entire time? Was everything fake?"LaeJoon-ah. I'm so sorry that I--"Zelo stopped when I looked at him, something wet falling down my cheek. I didn't notice that my eyes were watery until it was too late. "Why are you cry--?""A plan. He's in on the plan. He planned me getting beat up. He doesn't really care about me. H-h-he doesn't r-really care. . . ." My bottom lip began to tremble and a tear fell onto the floor. My eyes wandered around endlessly, looking for something that I couldn't seem to find. "What plan?" he asked, looking at me with worried eyes. "What are you talking about?""Daehyun had a plan with HaNi. He planned me getting beat up. He planned everything," I said, my breath quickening as the realization of my words sank in even further. "No, that can't be possible. You've got something--""I heard it! I hear HaNi talking about it! Straight from her mouth!" I looked down, not able to look Zelo in the eyes. "LaeJoon-ah . . . Daehyun hyung would never--""Believe me or not. I know that he is up to something with this. I know it!" By the look on his face, I know he didn't believe me. "I'm not crazy!""I never said that--""I don't know how to make you believe me. I don't know how and . . . I just don't know." I buried my face in my hands and Zelo wrapped his arms around me. "It's okay. I'll go ask him. Okay? I'll find out the truth." He sighed and tucked my head under his chin. I nodded against his chest. "Okay.""Just wait for a little bit." He handed me some money. "Go get yourself a drink and relax, okay?"I nodded and grabbed the money as I watched him run down the hall, his long legs running effortlessly.Thank you Zelo-ah. Thank you. So much.   *Zelo's POVHe was sitting on a bench, talking on the phone. I slowly approached him. "Daehyun hyung?"He looked up and then ended the call quickly, a startled look on his face. "What are you doing? I thought you were talking with LaeJoon-ah.""Are you involved with HaNi?" I asked, getting to the point. At first he looked surprised, but then he smiled and forced a laugh. "No, or course not.""Don't lie to me, hyung," I warned, walking closer to him. "Please don't lie. LaeJoon is having a breakdown because of whatever is happening. Go tell her the truth that you didn't have anything to do with her being beat up!" He just stood there and looked at the floor, his left hand touching his mouth mindlessly. "Hyung."He looked up and his eyes were watery. "I didn't know she'd hurt her so much," he said, letting his hand fall to his side. My eyes widened as his words sunk in. "You were part of it?" I shouted. "You told HaNi to hurt LaeJoon?!" "No, I--""How could you? Do you know how much LaeJoon is hurting right now?" He frowned and pointed at me accusingly. "It was better for you, LaeJoon, and me. You love HaNi and I love LaeJoon. Stop messing everything up by stringing LaeJoon along!" "String her along?" I said, echoing his words. "String her along?" I repeated. He nodded, angry. "Yes! String her along! You were doing it this whole time! Every time you made her cry, I was there to pick up the pieces! When have you ever been there for her?""Just now! When she realized you were lying about everything!" "I wasn't lying!""But you were in on a plan with someone who practically almost killed her!" I shouted. He looked at me. "I only told her to scare LaeJoon a bit. Then LaeJoon would tell you and you wouldn't believe it."I shook my head at the sound of the truth. It made me seem foolish, but the worst part was that LaeJoon had to be hurt and she did absolutely nothing wrong. Absolutely nothing. "Go tell her the truth," I told him in a low voice. "Now.""I can't," he said, refusing to look my in the eyes. "How am I supposed to tell--?""You said you loved her, right? Do you feel any guilt?" "Yes of course," he answered quickly, finally looking into my eyes . "Then how can you look her in the face? How can you sit there and tell her that you care for her? How can you still kiss her? How?" "Because I love her. I did this for her because I knew that if she fell for you, she would only get hurt," he explained. "Well, I hope your happy because she's hurt right now, but it's not because of me. I didn't hurt her." I paused. "You did.""But I did it for her own--""Stop saying that! By doing this you only hurt her more than what she would have been! You have done so much damage--""And so have you," he said, cutting me off. "You have made her confused, sad, and angry. You have absolutely no room to talk, Junhong.""Fine," I said, putting my hands up in defense and lowering my voice. "But at least I told her the truth. Please, just go say you're sorry to her.""But she won't forgive me.""I don't know and I don't care," I told him. "Just say you're sorry. The sooner the better."With that, I left, walking back to the house. Please don't forgive him, LaeJoon-ah. Please don't forgive him. Come back to me. I promise I will only make you smile and laugh and live. I will never doubt you or make you cry anymore. I promise.    Next chapter is Daehyun's apology!Thank you for subscribing and commenting!
