Nosebleed

☆

Soobin thought that one on one with Yeonjun would make him stop trying to 'bully' Soobin but it was as if that caused it to be worse. Yeonjun did every and anything in his power to piss Soobin off, it got to a point where now everyone knew of the twos dislike of each other.

"I'm going to kill him hyung" Beomgyu said sitting down in the cafeteria "Like seriously i'm going to murder him" his eyes were burning holes in the back of Yeonjun's head. Soobin chuckled over his eagerness to defend him.

"Let me do that first" Taehyun said sitting down next to Beomgyu. He gave Beomgyu a warm smile which Beomgyu reciprocated back.

"No no hyungs let me do it. I can get away with it" Hueningkai sat down lastly doing some cringy aegyo to flex his youth and cuteness. Unfortunately he is cute so the rest of them can't even find it as cringy as he is trying to make it seem like.

"No one can kill him before I beat his ass again" Soobin huffed as he started poking at his food. Usually Yeonjun's antics didn't bother him but there is 2 more months left of school and Soobin is beyond stressed from studying. On the bright side that meant only one more month left with Yeonjun until he was finally free. Yeonjun's behavior recently is something that in the last 6 years he has never displayed, it's erratic yet calculated. Yeonjun usually doesn't do anything to cause actual harm to Soobin's feelings hence why Soobin take anything he says serious since it's just nonsense but lately Yeonjun has been doing and saying hurtful things that feels like actual bullying now.

"I just dont understand why he is so obsessed with you?" Hueningkai said turning around to stare at Yeonjun who was already staring at the 4 boys. The sight of him caused Kai to turn around hurriedly, flustered painted all over his face as he tried to act like he wasn't caught.

"You and I both Kai..." Soobin has tried to rationalize over the past couple of years exactly why Yeonjun dislikes him and instead of ignoring him chooses to be an asshole but has given up after the 2nd year of constant annoyance from the elder.

At the end of the day after the 4 boys finished studying they said their goodbyes. Soobin would walk home whenever he was stressed out and lately that has been everyday. Embarking on another long walk back home in deep thoughts somewhere near the exit of the school he seen a boy near the wall. Soobin was not the type of person to be noisy, meaning anyone's life and or problems that did not affect him was not worth caring about. He didn't pay the boy any mind until he walked slightly closer and noticed there was two boys there who were making out. Averting his eyes he walked faster hoping they did not notice him. As he was walking away he noticed one of the boys resembled a face he grew to detest over the years, Choi Yeonjun.

Luckily they didn't notice him sneak past them but Soobin's mind was racing with thoughts. Yeonjun liked boys? Who was that? Why would they do it at school knowing they could get caught? Tuning them out one by one Soobin reminded himself of his life motto "It's none of my business." The walk home felt quicker than usually and maybe it was because Yeonjun making out with a random man occupied his brain the whole way home, He tried to push the thoughts away but they grew louder with each push. He wanted to tell Beomgyu so badly but even if he disliked the boy he would never out someone.

Soobin would have never guessed Yeonjun would be interested in men due to the sole reason Yeonjun has had about a million girlfriends in the last 6 years. He is a notorious serial dater and everyone knew it was easy to get with them but they were all with girls so seeing him make out with a guy left him shocked.

The next school day Soobin found himself staring at Yeonjun the whole day. Not even on purpose most of the time he just subconsciously started to look at him. Usually whenever Yeonjun would look at Soobin his expression was painted with annoyance or some sort of disgust that was always reciprocated, if not more, by Soobin but now Soobin's facial expression was filled with curiosity, Yeonjun would turn his head away 2 seconds after seeing said expression. At the end of the school day Soobin could not take it anymore, seeing Yeonjun exit the building Soobin quickly followed borderline running to catch up. He grabbed the elder by the wrist pulling him near the exit he seen him just making out with said man yesterday.

"What the hell?" Yeonjun said after they arrived at the wall. He pushed his hand away from Soobin which reminded him that he had grabbed Yeonjun unknowingly.

"Who was that yesterday?" Soobin said irrationally without a second thought of any of what he was doing right now. This is something Soobin would never do, get in someone's personal life. He didn't understand why he was doing this but he tuned away his rationality and focused on the growing curiosity that has been eating his brain for hours.

"Who was who?" Yeonjun rolled his eyes fixing up his appearance clearly disheveled from being pushed to the wall by Soobin unprompted.

"The guy you were making out with yesterday–" Yeonjun placed his hand over Soobin's mouth and looked around hurriedly making sure no one heard that. They stood like that for a couple seconds and Yeonjun's eyes were filled with fear.

"Don't be loud" he said dropping his hand off Soobin's mouth.

"Who was it? I didn't know you liked guys you pegged me as the straightest man in the world type" Soobin laughed at his own joke that was followed by silence from the other. He quickly stopped laughing and Yeonjun stared at Soobin eyes shaking with even more fear and anxiety. Soobin glanced down at his hands and see he was slightly shaking, this was not the reaction he was expecting.

"Relax, I'm not going to out you or anything. Plus I'm gay myself" Soobin made sure his tone was soft and reassuring because he was telling the truth but seeing Yeonjun look like he was held at gunpoint did not bring joy to Soobin. Soobin has never been ashamed of his sexuality nor has it been a secret he just is not the type to announce what he is especially if straight people never have to do that. The concept of "Coming out" is something he has always hated even before he could realize he himself was gay.

"Yeah I find that hard to believe you of all people wouldn't want to do that. We both strongly dislike each other and you seeing me make out with a guy is obviously great blackmail material" Soobin could tell Yeonjun was doing his absolute best not to seem like he was scared but his body was working against him, his hands were still shaking from anxiety.

"Just because I don't like you doesn't mean I would ever out you. I gain nothing from that plus it's not like you did something wrong. You like boys too big whoop it's 2016 nobody cares" Soobin once again tried his best to ease the situation but due to the state of Yeonjun it slowly started to dawn on him that this was a horrible idea. It's understandable why Yeonjun is acting like this which Soobin acknowledges and should have ignored what he seen.

Yeonjun's gaze soften which let Soobin know he wasn't thinking that Soobin would genuinely do what he had suggested. "Then why are you interrogating me about it?" He furrowed his eyebrows curiously.

"I-- uh... I don't know I guess I was just surprised? and uh I just wanted to ask... I couldn't talk to Beomgyu about this as it is no ones business but yours but my mind was filled with so many questions uh...I guess I acted impulsively." Soobin avoided Yeonjun's eyes realization of what he did sinking in. He started to shake his leg which was something he frequently did.

"You care about who I'm kissing?" The boy smirked inching closer to Soobin "Why?" Yeonjun placed one hand under Soobin's chin forcing it down so that he was now eye to eye with him. Yeonjun's eyes shined with mischief but also curiosity, the sudden close proximity made Soobin gulp.

Heat rushing to his ears immediately, "I don't...Curiosity obviously killed the cat. I'm leaving" Soobin started to turn around but Yeonjun turned him forcing him to stumble a bit hitting the wall with his back on it. Yeonjun placed both his hands on the brick wall trapping Soobin in his spot.

"No enlighten me. Why would Soobin of all people care who I'm kissing?" the boy was smirking proudly with one eyebrows raised. Soobin didn't understand what he was trying to accomplish by acting like this but his brain was too preoccupied at not blushing to think clearly.

Letting out a forced cough Soobin tore his gaze off the elder contemplating on how he would explain to Yeonjun that he does not without egging this on. The seconds felt like hours but Soobin was growing more and more uncomfortable without answering his question, "I really Don't" Soobin once again took his gaze off the elder and stared at the tree behind him. Yeonjun smirk grew even wider and he softly placed his hand under Soobin's chin making him look at Yeonjun.

"Were you jealous?" The elders hand still on his chin sending warmth throughout Soobin which resulted in the hairs on his arms to raise. Soobin was trying his hardest to keep his facial and bodily expression at a zero to not fill Yeonjun's mind with even more nonsense he was spilling currently.

"Oh don't make me laugh" Soobin let out a fake laugh which was followed by his facial expression changing to one of annoyance. Why would Yeonjun assume something so preposterous and so confidently be loud and wrong? Soobin could not understand the elder's thought process ever which is why Soobin once again confirmed his thought that this was a bad idea to begin with.

Yeonjun stopped smirking and he quickly inched closer a mere 1 inch again from Soobin's mouth, "If you wanted to kiss me you could have just asked Soobinie" he had whispered that sentence which oozed with seduction.

Yeonjun started to move in closer resulting in Soobin burning hot from his ears and now his neck. He didn't know what to do he was just frozen not understanding the circumstances happening. The elder suddenly shut his eyes and looked like he was about to fully kiss Soobin now before Soobin could even push him away Yeonjun's lips were now hovering over his. He suddenly stopped and once again Soobin was just frozen. Yeonjun smirked and pulled away dusting off his hands.

"So you really do like me? I knew it" Yeonjun said laughing lightly.

Soobin stared at the laughing boy in front of him and his leg started to shake in anger. It's one thing to berate him but doing something like this was weird and Soobin felt like he was taking a diss at his sexuality, he did not like whatever mind game the older was trying to play on him. Closing his eyes Soobin tried to sooth himself before he once again did something he would regret.

"I don't like you enough with that shit. 'Like' is the furthest thing I feel for you and you know that. I don't know what game you were just trying to play but don't use my sexuality to bait me or whatever the fuck you were just trying to do." Soobin said through gritted teeth oozing with anger, legs shaking faster as he continued to speak.

"Your anger clouds your judgement I see. You're too much of a wimp to admit it so I had to help prove to yourself that you actually do. I didn't "bait" your sexuality I was simply helping you come to terms with your obvious feelings, but I'l stop you before you get any further, I don't like you and I never will." Yeonjun's expression was cocky as he hit the nail on the head, he crossed his hand over his chest and stared at Soobin.

Soobin started to laughed, grasping every word of what the elder had said, "Wow, you think I'm riding a high horse? Did you just hear yourself? You are the most egotistical person on earth you truly deserve an award for That." He started to fake clap but quickly stopped knowing he was not even close to being done.

"You cry on my shoulders, you beg me to stay, you throw up your whole liver and guess who was there to help you out? ME. Instead of thanking me or apologizing to me for all the shit you have put me through you doubled down and have become worst. You said you had no real friends and it doesn't take much to know why, you are the reason. You are so revolting it makes me sick to even be near you. You aren't likable in a platonic or romantic way you will forever be alone–"

Before Soobin could finish his sentence a punch was landed on his face causing him to stumble back wincing in the sudden pain. He wiped his mouth and noticed he somehow bit his lip causing it to slightly bleed. That fueled something deep within him, to be sneaked is something he wont tolerate. He tackled Yeonjun down landing on him of his before he started to punch him. It only lasted a few second before Yeonjun punched Soobin hard enough for him to stumble releasing Yeonjun from under him as a result. Soobin cocked back and aimed for his stomach which landed a blow while he simultaneously got punched as well.

"Sneaking me as I was talking? I'll give it to you. You knew better not to swing on me when I was ready" Soobin laughed from anger, spitting some blood out while he ducked an attack from Yeonjun whilst giving him one as well.

"Your dumb ass assumptions needed to be punched out of you. Should I have asked for permission before I hit you?" Yeonjun also ducked and avoided Soobin's punch.

Tussling for a bit Soobin was starting to reach black out territory. He could slowly tell from how his vision was dimming as they continued to fight and he was not fully in control of what he was doing and saying anymore, if he were to fully black out now it was be a very dangerous thing. The last time that happened he broke a kid's nose and arm simultaneously. Instead of swinging back Soobin closed his eyes and started to do his self soothing exercises.

"What are you doing? We are still fighting. Unless you are forfeiting because I beat your ass." Yeonjun walked over pushing Soobin harshly. Soobin ignored him and focused on his breathing and what made him happy. He would not want to actually black out but of course Yeonjun doesn't understand the danger he truly is in right now.

Not caring to answer back Yeonjun's angered only doubled seeing the younger ignore him, eyes shut, as he continued to inhale and exhale. Yeonjun grabbed Soobin by the shirt which caused him to get out of his trance of calming down, this was all it took for Soobin for him to lose his cool. Before soobin knew it he regain consciousness on the concrete floor staring up at the sky. Getting up frantically confusion washed over him. He looked over and seen a bloody nosed Yeonjun again but this time he had his back against the wall and was clearly beat up pretty badly.
