"All of you."
Cale's voice was heard loud and clear despite the chaos and ruckus they were making, like it was thundering their eardrums. Everyone immediately stopped screaming, throwing a fit, and put a pause of the commotion they were doing after they heard what kind of dare Cale (and another certain individual) got. It was rather comical how all of them immediately shut up the moment Cale spoke despite how chaotic they were that they could barely hear anything properly.
Cale stood up from his seat and calmly strode towards the classroom's door. Before he opened the door, Cale turned around and everyone froze when they saw those cold eyes staring at them.
"Choi Han must not hear about this, got it?"
He didn't wait for a respond and proceed to walk out of the classroom.
A minute passed, and another.
Everyone turned to glare at Clopeh Sekka, the crazy bastard who started it all.
"Thanks for making Cale angry." Litana almost spat out the words in annoyance.
Valentino could only shake his head while Antonio subconsciously touched his forehead when Clopeh even had the audacity to smile calmly as if he hadn't triggered the end of the world.
"It was not my suggestion to play Truth or Dare"
"Yeah but you're the one who gave that dare to that scary ba—I mean, scary guy" Archie said, immediately changing his choice of word the moment Witira look at him. Paseton, on the other hand, knew Archie was about to call Cale a scary 'Bastard', and let out a sigh.
Archie never changed, He was still rude like before.
"Yes, but if none of you agreed to play the game in the first place then this would have not happened, no?" Clopeh tried to justify his point.
"You crazy—" Hannah was about to snap, reach out to grab that bastard's shirt because how dare he try to put the blame on them as well but Jack immediately held his sister's arm to stop her from committing murder. He couldn't allow his sister to dirty her hands especially to someone unworthy like Clopeh Sekka. Why bother killing some crazy guy when its better to let him go insane until he ends up in a mental institution instead?
"Still, it was you who made Cale angry." Witira said in a "matter-of-fact" kind of tone, staring sternly at Clopeh. Honestly, she was also close to strangling the life out of him but decided against it. Her younger brother was here and she can not allow Paseton to witness such scenery.
Now just let her quietly murder Clopeh once they're alone together.
"Why should I take the blame when it was miss Rosalyn who said we should play the game?"
"Wow!" Rosalyn slam her right hand on the table, "The nerve of this—" she scoff, choosing not finish her sentence. "Hey asshole, I suggested we play Truth or Dare to have fun not to make Cale do something like that."
Rosalyn was visibly annoyed at Clopeh. No one stopped her from showing her irritation because honestly? they all had only one thought at that moment: 'Mood'.
"...How are we supposed to cheer Cale up?" Paseton asked. He had seen how Cale was when he's angry and he have 0 intention of ever being someone who'll receive the redhead's wrath.
"We can't," Valentino shook his head once more, "Time has already passed. If we even try to chase after Cale we might lose our head right now and then"
"...Let's just hope tomorrow is a better day" Antonio voice out his thought. It was quite a shock for him to see Cale, who he had always seen as kind and benevolent, be so annoyed he looked like he was about to kick someone's guts out.
It was a ruthless thought but that was exactly how Cale looked.
Just when the room's atmosphere was constantly dropping low, they heard Alberu sigh loudly.
"This is driving me nuts"
And he uttered the words that proved he was a squirrel.
When Choi Han stepped inside the school, there were murmurs around him but he payed it no mind. He continued to walk towards his locker to change his shoes to his indoor shoes. He was about to start walking to his classroom when he saw the weird gazes some of his girl schoolmates were giving him.
He was wondering what the hell they were giving him those pitying stares but immediately stopped thinking about it when he saw Mary approaching him.
"Good morning, Mary" Choi Han greeted but Mary looked like she wanted to tell him something but is stopping herself from actually saying a word.
"Is something wrong?" He was worried about the almost constipated look she was making. As far as he knew, Mary was someone who remained calm at all times. Now though, she looks like she ate something terrible she could only make a face akin to grimace.
"...Have you not heard anything about what happened yesterday?"
Choi Han furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, "Did something happened?"
They both stared at each other for a minute, until Mary opened her mouth to speak.
"...No, I believe it was just a baseless rumor. I'm sorry for making you worry"
Choi Han shook his head, "There's no need to apologize"
They both started to walk towards where their classroom was.
The entire time they were walking, Choi Han could not help but notice the same pitying stares he received earlier, multiply the closer they got to their classroom. He chose to ignore it even though it was starting to get on his nerve. There was no need to gawk at him like he lost a match that hasn't even started.
When they arrived at the door of their class, Choi Han heard his classmates loud murmurs.
"Hey, do you think Choi Han already knows?"
He frown when he heard his own name being mentioned.
"More importantly, doesn't it seem like the rumor is not true at all?"
"No way, I saw it with my own eyes! Cale Henituse was—"
Someone slam the door open. It was Witira who just arrived and was standing behind Choi Han.
"....Useless rumors" she muttered when Choi Han stared at her.
She didn't wait for him and walked inside the classroom with Archie following suit, he didn't even looked at Choi Han and simply looked forward with an annoyed look on his face. Paseton entered next, giving Choi Han a nervous look before turning away.
Choi Han wanted to hear what his classmate was about to say about Cale but thought it might not be important judging from the trio's indifference.
Mary stepped to the class first before Choi Han followed behind her.
But the moment he walked inside, he noticed how his classmates were averting their eyes away from him like they just saw the walking tragedy, while some looked at him with pity, the others didn't seem to care about what was going on and was just minding their own business.
Choi Han ignored all of them and went to sit down on his chair that was near at the back.
Hannah and Jack came in after a few minutes.
Hannah placed her bag on her seat that was 3 chairs away from Choi Han's right before she went to Mary who was sitting by the window. The two girls (mainly Hannah) started talking about things that Choi Han doesn't intend to listen to.
A few more of their classmates came in until it was 2 minutes before classes starts yet there were still 3 missing students. Choi Han could care less about the other 1 but it was weird how the other 2 has yet arrived.
At that moment, they all heard a quiet voice outside the door.
"Can you let go?"
The voice sounded annoyed.
"You know I would love to but this crazy b—haah, this guy is still here"
And this one sounded like he was so done.
"Oh— Cale-nim! Cale-nim! Even your annoyed face is so mesmerizing, I could stare at it forever!"
Choi Han's eyebrow twitch at what he heard.
"Shut up, will you?"
"I would gladly serve you and follow you until the very end, I—"
"Do you have no plans of going in?"
"...Sorry, Eruhaben-sonseangnim"
Just when the door was about to open, Hannah jumped from Mary's table that she was sitting on and shouted:
"CHOI HAN!"
Choi Han turned his head around and looked at her like she was crazy. Why the hell would she yell his name so loud when their teacher was just about to enter their classroom?
Meanwhile everyone who saw how Cale and Alberu had just released each other's hand could only shake their head and once again give Choi Han the same pitying looks they've been directing his way since he walked in to class.
"Hannah, go back to your sit and stop shouting" Eruhaben scolded once he was standing in front.
Hannah bowed to his direction, "I'm sorry, sir" before going back to her sit. Choi Han was shocked at how Hannah, the same Hannah who picked a fight with him at the start of the school year just because she found the sight of him annoying, bow towards Eruhaben and apologize when she was normally unyielding and prideful.
Choi Han continued to give Hannah a questioning gaze while she was walking to her seat until Alberu and Cale sat on their respective seats that was one Choi Han's right.
Rosalyn, who was sitting beside Alberu and had been quietly watching everything unfold in front of her, gave a thumbs up to Hannah once they were sitting next to each other. "God job" Rosalyn muttered quietly, making sure it was only the two of them who would hear.
"Thanks, unnie" Hannah whispered back.
Choi Han tilted his head to the side as he stare at Alberu, then to Cale who was beside him. "Why were you two late?"
Alberu only shook his head in lieu of responding while Cale was glaring holes at the back of someone's head. Choi Han followed Cale's gaze and saw that it was directed towards Clopeh.
'He must have done something annoying to Cale-nim again' and Choi Han was most-likely right. Everything Clopeh did was annoying to Cale even if it was simply breathing.
Choi Han shrugged his shoulders and decided not to ask further. If Cale wanted him to know, he would have said it already. If Cale didn't want him to know, Choi Han would understand and respect his decision.
But he would go and make sure to grip Clopeh's every fiber of his being once he finds out the thing he had done to annoy his beloved Cale-nim.
He would do it without hesitation.
Class started without any issues.
It was now lunch time.
Cale, being the lazy ass that he is, chose to stay inside the classroom instead of going out to buy his lunch. Partially because he would like to avoid getting stared at while he was outside. Another reason would be because of Clopeh's fucking dare that made him want to flip everything over.
First, he does not like the attention he's receiving right now. Second, he despise the dare he received. Third, he doesn't want to end up hurting a certain young man who had been pinning for him for the past 6 months.
"Cale-nim."
Just hearing that voice was giving Cale a headache. Nonetheless, he smiled towards the bastard who put him in this difficult and annoying disposition. "Clopeh Sekka"
Clopeh clasped his hands together while looking at Cale like how a devotee would look at their god, and Cale hates every second that stare lasted.
Cale smiled brightly, "Get the fuck out of my sight"
Clopeh looked even more crazed. His eyes dilated, seemingly taking pleasure at being cussed out by Cale. "Oh— Cale-nim, the way you called my name, the way your voice sounds—"
"I can't bear to watch this" Litana, who also decided to stay inside the classroom because she couldn't stomach the rumors she'll heard outside, looked away with a grimace.
Rosalyn, who was drinking her apple juice like it was tea said, "Same" while still staring at Clopeh who was now kneeling and bowing towards Cale who looked like his lifespan was continuously decreasing from the stress that is Clopeh Sekka.
Cale looked this close to kicking Clopeh to oblivion, but instead, mustered the last remaining of self-control in order not to make things more troublesome than they already were.
Luckily, someone burst through the door.
"FRIEND!"
Toonka took large strides towards Cale like he was on a battlefield which was very unfitting with the confused and concern expression on his face but Cale could care less.
Never once did he think he'd ever be happy to see Toonka. Cale thought it would be far better to deal with someone like him rather than a fool with a 'path of no return' to sanity like Clopeh.
"What's this rumor I heard about?!"
Oh, Cale took back his word. He is not happy to see Toonka if its going to be like this—
"You're dating Alberu Crossman?!" Toonka almost shrieked, making Antonio, who had been staying quiet at one side, wince at how Toonka's voice almost made his ears bleed.
"I thought you and Choi Han, my friend, have something going on?! What is this?!"
For some reason, he was looking at Cale like he was betrayed.
'Why is he like this?' Cale was on the verge of screaming after all of self-control was dried out from dealing with Clopeh's existence.
"I wouldn't believe about what other people say because I was sure it wasn't true but a lot of people saw you and Alberu holding hands while walking around the school this morning!"
Toonka, despite being someone with a large stature, was extremely expressive with his emotions that he's even showing everyone in this class that he was close to tearing up. But Cale doesn't understand why the hell he was acting like this.
"Choi Han is my friend too, I don't want him to get hurt!"
'Same...?'
"So tell me the rumor is not true! Even if a lot of people say they have an evidence, I will believe you!"
Now he was gazing at Cale with a determined expression. It was kind of scaring Cale from the way Toonka's emotions were drastically shifting.
The room fell silent.
Everyone was waiting for Cale's response while Toonka was still staring at him with firmness, waiting for his words of assurance. But Cale doesn't know what to say.
Or rather, he has a lot to say that he doesn't know where to start. But first of all, Cale was still overwhelmed from Toonka's sudden outburst. He felt like he had just come out from a war and hasn't completely calmed down his bewildered nerves.
Luckily, someone opened the classroom door.
"Cale-nim."
Or not.
Everyone who had been inside the classroom the whole entire time, held their breathe as they stare at Choi Han who was calmly walking towards Cale, lunch box in hand.
He gently placed the lunch box on Cale's table without breaking eye contact with the redhead. "Beacrox asked me to give you your lunch, he said something like he's politely threatening you to eat properly even without him seeing you eat the meal he prepared"
Choi Han looked unbothered. If he heard what Toonka had been yapping about a few moments ago (which isn't very impossible since his voice was practically roaring in the 4 corners of the room) he didn't show. Which only made everyone in the room nervous.
"Please eat everything, Cale-nim"
The fact that Choi Han was calm, too calm, made Cale glare towards Clopeh who was still kneeling on the floor.
"Friend..." Toonka called out to the black haired youth but he only got pushed by Choi Han away from his seat. He took out the novel under his desk and proceed to read, like he doesn't care about what's going on.
Cale's glare to Clopeh intensified.
"Hey, what the hell happened?" Hannah asked Mary who arrived at the same time as Choi Han and Alberu since they were having their lunch together earlier, Jack could see Alberu massaging his temples like he was already getting a migraine just imagining what could have happened while they were away.
Toonka was looking at Choi Han with a sad expression when suddenly the back of his collar was yanked by someone. "I'll be taking this one back," he heard Harol's voice.
Harol looked apologetically towards Cale and co., "I apologize for whatever thing Toonka might have caused..." but Cale didn't even spare him a look and continued to give Clopeh a menacing scowl.
Harol dragged Toonka, who let himself be pulled away with no complains, out of the battlefield to save both of them from whatever chaos that was minutes away from breaking out.
At that moment, Alberu let out another deep suffering sigh.
"This is driving me nuts"
"Choi H—"
"Oh, Choi Han! Can you help me carry this boxes to the infirmary?"
Cale could only slowly let his outstretched arm fall sadly to his side while watching Choi Han walk out of the door.
Rosalyn, who unfortunately witnessed the sad display, closed her eyes and took a deep breathe.
Jack clasped his hands together and started to silently pray once Cale looked down to his feet looking similarly to a dejected cat with tails and ear drooping gloomily. Cale looked so forlorn that Jack felt his heart being gripped tightly. It was a sight he never thought he'd see and never want to see ever again.
Meanwhile, Cale was looking down on the floor in order to hide his expression in case he lets it slip out that he was currently planning out how to get away from murder since he have no doubt he'll succeed in killing one Clopeh Sekka.
"Ugh... I can't watch this anymore!" Hannah, who was sitting on Mary's table once again, jumped up from where she was sitting. She pulled Mary's hand and semi-dragged the poor raven outside their classroom, practically bulldozing their way towards where they know Choi Han would be.
They have witnessed Cale's poor attempt of trying to talk to Choi Han regarding the rumors that was still spreading in the entire campus, but every time he was about to speak something or someone would always interrupt. Like people who would ask Choi Han for help, or when their subject teachers had arrived at their room, or even how someone accidentally stepped on Choi Han's foot.
Which was a terrible thing, considering that Choi Han wasn't exactly a patient person especially if its towards Clopeh Sekka.
And how the hell do you even manage to accidentally step on someone's foot when you were supposed to be sitting right across the room, away from where Cale and Choi Han were sitting?!
Once Hannah saw the back of the person she was trying to chase come to view, she walked even faster until she was close enough to smack Choi Han's shoulder.
Choi Han almost dropped the two boxes he was carrying. He slowly turned his head around to glare at Hannah. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Hannah ignored his question and instead, glared back at him. "Stop getting distracted and go talk to Cale Henituse." she contemplated for a minute before adding, "Do you even see the way he's trying to desperately get your attention?"
Choi Han furrowed his eyebrows. Finding Hannah's words wrong. First of all, Cale never gets desperate.
But Hannah took it as Choi Han being clueless about Cale's low mood. "Well, are you just going to let him wait forever?"
Choi Han's frown only seem to deepen further.
How was he making Cale wait if it had been him who was waiting for Cale all this time?
"Choi Han, Hannah is right. The both of you need to talk. Its not alright to let the misunderstanding last longer" Mary said which made Hannah nod her head. Choi Han became even more confuse. What misunderstanding were they even talking about when it was them misunderstanding him?
"Choi Han?"
"Ah," Choi Han turned towards Sheritt-sonseangnim who had to stop and wait for him.
He was about to ignore Hannah and walk towards their English teacher when he heard Hannah click her tongue and suddenly took the box on top of the other box he was holding. Choi Han was about to tell her to put it back but Hannah beat him to it, "In return. You'll go and finally talk to him."
She glared at him one more time before walking ahead of them. Choi Han was still perplexed as to why Hannah was being like this when he felt the box he was left holding slowly being taken away from him, Choi Han immediately held the box tighter. "Mary, no, I can't let you carry this—"
"It is okay," Mary took advantage of the fact that Choi Han was surprised and off-guard to finally take the box from his hands, "I am not weak"
Choi Han was beyond baffled at this point.
The three of them were silent the entire time. Or rather, Hannah was ignoring Choi Han while pulling Mary beside her, leaving Choi Han a few steps behind but not walking fast that they would end up leaving him completely.
Once they got back to their classroom, everyone was changing into their P.E. uniform since their next class would be spend out the field. Cale was naturally exempted from their P.E. class and was currently burying his head on his crossed arms, resting on his table.
"I don't want to see this longer than I have to," Rosalyn exclaimed before walking out. Witira, Paseton and Archie followed suit.
Once Alberu passed by the door, where Choi Han was still standing in, he pat the black haired youth's shoulder before leaving.
Everyone followed after them, as if testifying and agreed to what Rosalyn has said. They too, didn't want to see Cale be so miserable when he was usually indifferent, confident, or just plain sleepy and lazy. They may not express it properly at times but they were also concern about Cale's well-being. Especially his emotions, since Cale was someone who always kept his emotions in check and avoid displaying it for the world to see.
Now though, they could see that Cale was truly miserable.
That was why, everyone was planning to gang up on Clopeh on the volleyball they'll be playing for this class.
'Let's hit the back of his head'
That was their plan.
It was only Cale and Choi Han left by now. Even Mary and Hannah left his side the moment Rosalyn and Witira walked out of the door.
Choi Han doesn't know if he should go attend the P.E. class too or just stay here so he can accompany Cale. It wasn't unusual for him to stay behind with Cale since he had done that a lot of times before. Plus, their P.E. teacher also didn't want to see him attend his class because he excelled in everything that had to do with his body. Choi Han didn't think much of it and instead took advantage of the fact that he was practically exempted from this class too so he can be alone with Cale for an hour.
Now though, he felt like he shouldn't be here.
Choi Han wanted to leave and go after his classmates but Hannah's nagging voice was ringing on his ear on repeat to the point that it annoyed him.
That was why, he couldn't bring himself to step back, to the other side of the door. Choi Han contemplated for a bit before he started walking towards his seat that was next to Cale.
He peeked to Cale's sleeping figure and decided not to disturb the sleeping beauty redhead. Choi Han only took out the novel under his desk and walked towards the window and sat on the desk of his classmate.
Sitting on the table instead of the chair was becoming a habit in their class. It was fine as long as their teachers never found out.
Choi Han stared outside the window, looking at where his classmates were. They looked like they were now preparing to play volleyball and was being divided into 4 teams. It seems like they were in a joint-competition with their seniors. Choi Han silently watched as Hannah "accidentally" spiked the ball towards Clopeh's face which he unfortunately managed to dodged.
He could see Hannah clicking her tongue and looked annoyed. Archie was stretching his arms while Witira was holding a different volley ball to her hip as she silently observe Clopeh's every movement. Paseton looked like he was trying to avoid getting involved with whatever thing those two were planning.
Choi Han could tell all of them intend to run wild for as long as P.E. lasts. He subconsciously smiled.
He stopped watching them and opened the novel he was holding and started to read.
It was quiet the whole time. Very unlike the chaotic class when everyone is inside the room. With only Choi Han, who was engrossed in the novel he's reading, and Cale, who was sleeping, in their classroom right now only silence was hanging on the air.
30 minutes or so passed until he heard movements behind him but Choi Han was too preoccupied with the story he was holding that he didn't put it much mind. It was until the movements finally stopped and a voice was heard behind him.
"...Its not what you think"
Choi Han turned around and saw Cale standing there, looking at him with a slight frown, Like he doesn't know what to say next. They stared at each other for a minute, then a minute became two.
Cale hesitated for a bit before speaking. "The rumors..." he averted his eyes away from those black irises staring back at him, finding it difficult to speak when he's looking directly to Choi Han's eyes, "its not true"
"I mean," he quickly added, "Its true me and hyung were holding hands earlier but its not-!"
He couldn't continue what he was saying when he saw that Choi Han's expression didn't change. Choi Han looked like he doesn't understand what Cale was trying to say.
Cale let out a frustrated sigh before dragging their classmate's desk and placed it beside Choi Han before plopping down. He crossed his arms with his eyebrows furrowed. Almost looking like a sulking petulant child.
"It was a stupid dare."
Cale was glaring out the window, Choi Han assumed it was towards Clopeh. He didn't need to check because he could hear a very faint "Cale-nim is looking at me!" and a very loud "STOP BEING DISTRACTED YOU DAMN LUNATIC" coming from Hannah.
Then another high-pitched screech, "QUICK! GET HIM! DO IT NOW WHILE HE'S NOT LOOKING!" which he couldn't identify whether was coming from Archie or Alberu.
A loud hysteric laughter echoed outside, "AHAHAHA! CHAOS! DESTRUCTION! DESTROY HIM!"
Choi Han wasn't disappointed that he wasn't out on the field to teach Clopeh a very long lesson because he could trust his classmates to do it on his stead. So instead of worrying about what was happening outside, he focused on the beautiful existence beside him.
"Clopeh dared me to hold hands with hyung whenever we're outside together, while he dared Alberu to spread a rumor that we are dating." Cale grumbled almost incoherently but Choi Han understood his words. How was it possible? it can only happen once you have become a true simp.
And Choi Han is the biggest Cale simp in the world, no one could ever compete. Except Clopeh, but he's just another crazy devotee trying to make his Cale the god of his cult.
That is why Choi Han needs to get rid of that bastard as soon as he can. In the most vicious way. Of course without Cale knowing anything.
"Its just a stupid dare. Whatever thing you heard or might have heard outside is not true." Cale voice was firm. Choi Han was smitten further.
How could he not? his Cale was assuring him that he was not and never dated anyone.
And truth be told, Choi Han actually knew about the dare.
He was standing outside the door of their classroom yesterday at the exact moment Clopeh gave Cale and Alberu their dare. He wanted to burst through the door and throw Clopeh out the window but he immediately stopped and calm himself when he heard Cale say those words.
'Choi Han must not hear about this, got it?'
Choi Han understood his Cale's intention. He didn't want to end up hurting him with the rumor and with a stupid dare at that. That was why, Choi Han feigned ignorance to everything happening around him and continued to pretend like nothing was really happening the entire time.
Still, it was quite funny how his classmates who were with Cale yesterday, were trying so hard to protect his ears and eyes. Though he appreciated it nonetheless. Choi Han could feel their support for his pining ass and he could feel nothing but gratitude towards everyone.
When Cale turned his head around he saw Choi Han was smiling. He was smiling like he knew. At that moment Cale realized that Choi Han must have known everything from the start.
He suddenly felt stupid but he was relieved at the same time.
'At least I didn't end up hurting him'
Choi Han leaned forward, "Then, Cale-nim" the atmosphere between them suddenly grew thick like it was accommodating with whatever Choi Han was planning to do.
Cale was barely breathing when Choi Han continued to inch closer, only for him to pause and stare at him with those same black eyes Cale felt like he could stare at forever, "Is this fine?"
Cale was annoyed at the question and didn't respond. Instead he grabbed Choi Han's nape and pulled him close, almost smashing their lips together.
It was an innocent kiss, befitting of them. After all, it was their first kiss. And their first kiss was of each other. Truly, they couldn't ask for more.
They slowly parted but not entirely, Choi Han's forehead almost resting on Cale's while Cale's hand remained on Choi Han's nape. "Don't just stop half-way through"
He looked annoyed. But his ears were burning red, Choi Han's cheeks were too.
Choi Han let out a breathless laugh. Like he still couldn't believe what just happened.
"Yes, Cale-nim"
Choi Han's gaze was full of affection and adoration that Cale couldn't help but look down in order to avoid those completely smitten eyes. He felt like if he didn't, he would have melted from the sheer amount of love Choi Han seem to radiate.
At that moment, the door of the classroom was slowly and silently closed.
Alberu turned around and smiled brightly at everyone who was standing behind him, "Everyone"
Litana was still gapping her mouth like a fish, Valentino looked extremely flustered that he saw Cale and Choi Han kissing, Antonio was looking down on the floor with his face burning. They all looked like they couldn't believe what they just saw. Hannah was covering Mary's eyes, while Jack was covering Hannah's, and Paseton covered Jack's while Witira covered Paseton's, Archie was covering Witira's while looking between annoyed and shocked. He couldn't seem to choose just one emotion. Rosalyn, on the other hand, was continuously snapping her phone, taking photos of the two lovebirds on the other side of the door.
Alberu exclaimed cheerfully to these individuals who witnessed the same scene as him, "You didn't see anything."
Amidst the chaos they were all feeling, a soft and quiet voice was heard behind them.
"See? My judgement was not wrong"
They all snapped out of their reverence and glared daggers at Clopeh. It would have been better if he didn't had to speak at that moment.
'He ruined the moment.'
They all thought the same thing.
'Let's bury him alive'
The next day, a different rumor was spread at school. Cale already caught a whiff of the rumor but decided to ignore it, while it took Choi Han a week to know about the existence of such rumor.
The rumor goes like this:
Cale Henituse, the so-cold ice prince, is now dating Choi Han, who had been courting him for months.
With a picture provided of when Cale and Choi Han shared a moment inside their empty classroom. The picture was naturally from Rosalyn who posted that picture the day the "ChoiCale Fanclub" was established which was the same day as when everything happened.
Cale didn't seem to care about the rumor while Choi Han was flustered at first but decided to ignore it. Seeing that neither of them refute it, everyone at school started to believe the rumor. Especially since the two fueled it even more:
Cale caught a glimpse of Choi Han's phone wallpaper; it was a picture of them when they had their first kiss.
It was funny and endearing at the same time that Cale had a crazy idea at that moment.
Okay maybe not a crazy idea since it would make both him and Choi Han happy (but would definitely make a certain individual suffer. Not that he cares)
"Hyung, make sure to take a picture"
He threw his phone towards Alberu who almost dropped it on the ground, "You crazy—"
They were in their P.E. class, playing volleyball against their seniors once again. After losing real hard against them, their classmates asked Choi Han, their saving saint, to play against their seniors and help their class win the game. Hence why all of them were out the field right now, yes even Cale even though he was totally useless and wasn't even playing.
Alberu couldn't finish his word when he saw Cale suddenly throw his body to Choi Han's arms, clinging on the black haired youth's neck and kissing the life out of him. Alberu doesn't even know why but he subconsciously snapped dozens of photo while still staring at them in shock.
Everyone around them stopped at that moment and looked at Cale who finally stepped back and said with a smirk, "Change your wallpaper"
Choi Han's face explode in red.
That day, they won the game against their seniors.
Choi Han kissed Cale on his forehead while saying he won the match for him. Alberu took another picture because he could hear Cale's demand for a picture at the back of his head.
Rosalyn was enjoying everything play out right before her eyes and posted every single picture she got (and also the ones Alberu took) to the ChoiCale Fanclub's official site.
Alberu seem to be the only one suffering from having to witness the two showing PDA without hesitation. He was happy for his dongsaeng that he finally got his virgin ass someone who loves him wholeheartedly but could they please keep it indoors?
Choi Han and Cale continued to share their every moment regardless there being a crowd or not.
