[ TW: sexual assault ]

Both Ten and Kun could tell that something has happened. Sicheng wasn't his usual type today. Normally he would be ranting about his family or teachers but today he was just quiet.

They both glanced at each other, and then at the youngest male who was quietly munching on his lunch with no expression. But his eyes told the truth.

He was hurt. But they didn't know why. Did his family do something again? Did the teachers say something again? Or did he get judged again by his classmates?

They didn't know. With an inaudible sigh, Kun cleared his throat, which failed to gain Sicheng's attention. Ten looked at the oldest with pleading eyes asking him to do something.

Kun nodded and asked, "What happened Sicheng?" That made the boy snap out of his thoughts and look at Kun with confusion evident on his face.

"Huh?" He whispered.

"I asked, what happened?" Kun let out, emphasising every word while leaning on the table.

The youngest sighed closing his eyes. He opened it again and leaned back on the chair, throwing his head back, staring at the ceiling.

He ran a hand through his black hair, eyes turning glossy slowly. Ten kept his hand on his hand which was kept on the table. His warmth being a form of reassurance that they're here with him always no matter what.

The youngest male looked at the hand, and then at the pair sitting across him. He kept his right hand on Ten's hand which was kept on his left hand, now leaning on the table.

With a sigh full of exhaustion, he formed his lips in a thin line before starting the story.

"Before I could even ask Johnny his full name, he asked me on a one night stand..."

"So... He's Johnny Suh..." Kun said lowly, looking down at his lap.

"What did you do then?" The Thai male asked.

"I blocked him. I hate when people only like me for my body. Although Johnny never saw how I look, he is still disgusting to me. He only makes friends so that later on he can fuck with them, wow."

"You shouldn't be so harsh with your first judgement on him. You never know what shits they might be going through." The shortest said with a stern voice with Kun nodding in agreement.

"Fuck off. You would've understood me if you were in my place!" Sicheng said with harshness and took his hands away from Ten's. He grabbed his lunch plate and stood up, turning his back towards them and was about to walk away when Ten's voice stopped him.

"I have been through worse." His voice loaded with pain immediately made Sicheng guilty. Right, how could he forget why Ten came to China from Thailand.

"I was accused of sexual assault. No one believed me that I was innocent, not even my own family. They kicked me out of the house. I had no money, no food and no place to live in. I was lost alone in this unknown, c-cruel world. I thought it was the end and was about to jump off a building in an a-attempt to take my own life but my cousin somehow came and saved me. She and her parents believed me and brought me here, to China with them." By now, a tear had already slipped from his eyes as his voice broke down even more. Kun rubbed his back in a comforting manner.

Normally he would be the one to solve their arguments but today he didn't. It wasn't his place to do so after all.

"A-and you say..." He now completely broke down, not being able to complete the whole sentence. The oldest took him in his embrace, caressing his back. Almost everyone in the cafeteria was watching them.

No one went near them, hence not being able to hear what Ten said, but were still enjoying the drama nevertheless. Sicheng had his eyes closed shut to prevent the tears to escape.

He turned around opening his eyes, as he kept the plate on the table. He went beside Ten, crouching down a bit and drawing comforting circles on his back.

"I'm sorry." He said, his voice weak. Ten sniffed and then chuckled, making the youngest confused. The Thai male pulled away from Kun's embrace as Sicheng stopped drawing circles too and stood straight.

"I'll forgive you on one condition." He said with a slight smirk while wiping his tears away with his white handkerchief.

"I'm not gonna push your classmate in the swimming pool!" The tallest exclaimed already assuming what might take him to get forgiven making both Kun and Ten laugh.

"No, you don't have to push anyone in the swimming pool. Just give me Johnny's number." He said acting like he just didn't cry over his past.

The oldest could only shake his head with a small smile while the youngest rolled his eyes.

"Fine, I'll text you once I reach home. Am I now forgiven?" He spat sarcastically.

"Yup." The Thai male said, grinning.

Yuta looked at the numbers written on the blackboard and then back at his notebook, scribbling down the notes. But just then, someone pinched his right arm making him flinch.

He looked at Johnny, his seatmate while glaring at him. Johnny smiled innocently and snatched the pen from the Japanese's hand while raising it in the air.

The younger tried taking his pen back but failed to do so as the American was taller than him. He huffed, crossing his arms while still glaring at his seatmate.

"Aren't you into Chinese guys?" Johnny raised a question, as he used the just stolen pen to write down his notes. Yuta raised a brow at his question but still hummed as a yes.

"Great. I'll text you a Chinese's guy number, he's perfect for you."

"I'm not gonna date someone whom you fucked with."

"We didn't fucked." The taller answered making the younger go beyond surprise with his eyes wide and staring at him. Seeing that, the other male chuckled.

"I did ask him on one night stand, but he didn't agree and blocked me. First time saw a guy like him. He was also nice and fun to talk with." He explained.

"I better get his number by today evening," Yuta said grinning, making the American grin too.
