Tw: homophobia, and mentions of divorce
"You're fucking disgusting" Another punch was thrown at the already unconscious boy.
"I bet your dad left, that's why you like boys" The others snickered at Johnny's comment.
"Hey! What's going on here?" A voice interrupted the relatively small scene.
"None of your buisness Jaehyun" One of Johnny's friends waved him off.
"It's obviously my buisness if you're hurting someone" Jaehyun countered, crouching down next to the boy.
"Hey, are you alright?" Jaehyun received no answer, as the boy was obviously unconscious.
"What did you assholes do to him?" Jaehyun glared at Johnny and his gang of morons.
"You can see for yourself" Johnny snarked.
"Yo, if you help him you're gay too" Someone shouted from across the garden, causing the entire group to start chanting similar things.
"So what? What if I am? Is that so wrong? For a boy to like boys, is that so wrong?" Jaehyun shouted, slightly scaring some of Johnny's crew.
"Yes, it is wrong" Johnny spoke up.
"Then why, why is it wrong?" Jaehyun asked, recieving silence as an answer.
"No, answer me. What is so wrong for a guy to like guys?"
No one spoke.
"Exactly, there is nothing wrong about it. As a human being, I have rights, every human being has rights, to be their own person" Jaehyun paused to catch his breath.
"You're the ones who are in the wrong here, beating up innocent people just because of their sexuality"
Jaehyun stepped up on a table.
"I'm here, telling you that what you're doing is wrong, who you're following is wrong" he motioned towards Johnny.
"If you're straight, good for you, but that doesn't mean you get to pick on people who are different from you"
"You wouldn't mess with someone just because of their skin tone, would you?"
Someone in the back raised their hand. Jaehyun pointed at them "You, Me, parking lot after I finish" He shot them a glare.
"What's your point?" Johnny asked.
"My point is that if you're picking on someone because they're different, you're no better than vultures pecking at innocent people when you're perfectly fine with the food you have" Jaehyun finished, stepping off of the table.
He turned to Johnny, grabbing him by the collar "And you, if I ever see you hurting anyone else, I will end you, you got that?"
"What if they deserve it?"
"Doesn't matter if they deserve it or not. I'm trying my goddamn hardest to be nice to you, so you better listen, or else.
Jaehyun started walking towards the parking lot.
"Or else what?"
"Do you really wanna test me?"
"Go ahead, do your worst" Johnny brought out his arms, seemingly defenseless.
Jaehyun grabbed a milk carton and threw it at Johnny, missing his head by two centimeters.
"Is that all?" Johnny glanced over at the carton which was spilling all over the floor.
"Nope" Jaehyun knocked him upside the head, grabbing his waist and slamming him on the ground.
Johnny groaned at the impact, his entire body was already aching to shit.
"That's what happens. Don't try anything" Jaehyun leaned over Johnny, giving him a small fake smile.
Jaehyun started exiting the cafeteria when he had an idea.
"Johnny"
"What?"
"Come to my place tomorrow, we have some things to discuss"
...
"Why am I here again?" Johnny asked, trying to avoid the flashlight Jaehyun was shining in his face.
"We're gonna have a lil therapy sesh"
"Therapy? No thanks" Johnny started to get up but was pushed back down onto the chair.
"I'm going to therapise the shit out of of you and you're not saying no"
"Therapise? Is that a word?"
"It is now"
Jaehyun walked off into the hallway, leaving Johnny a window to escape.
"Don't even think about it, I'll be right there" Jaehyun called from a room.
Johnny sighed, crossing his arms impatiently.
Jaehyun walked into the room soon after, holding a notebook and a sparkly pack of gel pens.
"Oh lord, not the gel pens"
"Yes the gel pens, they make everything better"
Jaehyun sat cross-legged on the couch in front of Johnny, trying to decide which color to use.
"You're a special case, so I'm going to use every color"
"Wow, thanks" Johnny dragged out the 's' for a more sarcastic effect.
"Okay, let's start. First off, how are you doing in school?"
"No clue, I haven't looked at my report card in a year"
"Alright" Jaehyun jotted something down in red.
"What about your family?"
"What about 'em?"
"Are you suffering from any losses recently?"
"No" Johnny turned his head to the side, focusing on a crystal vase that held unbloomed stargazer flowers.
"Johnny, I need you to be truthful with me"
"...Yeah"
"Who did you lose?"
"M-my dad" Johnny had started getting teary.
"If you don't mind, could you tell me about him?"
"H-he was still living with me and my mom"
"What do you mean still?"
"He and my mom divorced three years ago, but he still insisted on living with us because of me"
"Do you know why they divorced?"
"My dad, he was gay a-and he hid it the entire time they were married" Johnny sniveled.
"Here" Jaehyun handed him a couple of tissues.
"Thanks" Johnny blew his nose into a tissue, handing it back to Jaehyun.
Jaehyun immediately flicked it off onto the floor, looking at his hand in disgust.
"What happened after they divorced?"
"Dad started hanging out with this guy, and then he introduced him to me"
"Who was that guy?"
"His boyfriend"
"And then?"
"Everything was o-okay until a month ago"
"What happened?"
"My d-dad, he-" Johnny shook his head, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Hey, calm down alright? You don't have to tell me if you can't handle it" Jaehyun pulled Johnny next to him, rubbing his back while he shook out loud cries.
"How about you come back tomorrow?" Jaehyun offered after Johnny had calmed down.
"What for?"
"I'm definitely not a therapist, but I can tell you have a lot of pent up anger and sadness"
"What would you know about my feelings?!" Johnny shouted, running out of the house.
Jaehyun shook his head.
"This is going to be a lot of work"
...
"Hey, how have you been?" Jaehyun asked.
"I've been really good lately, thanks again for saving me yesterday" Taeyong smiled.
"It's no problem" Jaehyun waved at Taeyong as he walked to his next class.
Jaehyun continued walking down the hallway, passing multiple people whispering about him. He glanced over at Johnny, who gave him a glare, completely unnoticed by his gang.
Jaehyun sighed, shaking his head.
"Looks like you can't fix what's already been crushed to pieces"
