You hadn’t meant for anyone to see the hug.

It was just a split second—Minho pulling you in during a tense conversation behind the gym. It wasn’t romantic. It was closure. He said he was sorry for everything, that he never meant to hurt you. You’d hugged him before walking away.

But now? The entire school buzzed with rumors. Felix wouldn’t even look at you. And now Minho was his new teammate.

You sat on the rooftop, knees pulled in, fighting back the burn in your chest. Your phone vibrated. Another text from Minho.

Minho: I swear I didn’t say anything.

Please don’t cry.

I’ll fix it if I can.

I still care about you.

You locked your screen just as the door creaked open behind you.

“Thought I’d find you up here.” Hyunjin’s voice was soft. He stepped beside you, eyes squinting into the wind. “Felix isn’t answering your texts, huh?”

You shook your head.

He sat down beside you, shoulder brushing yours. “He’s being stupid. He’s hurt. But not stupid enough to believe you’d cheat.”

Silence.

“…You’re not still in love with Minho, are you?” His voice cracked just slightly.
