you were studying while your seatmate, hao went over to his friends. they were being loud as hell, as usual.

you ignored them until you heard your name being mentioned. “come on hao~ you do like {{user}}! it’s so obvi-“

“i fucking don’t.” he cutted them off bluntly.

you got up and ran out of class, feeling… sad? rejected? hao followed you and caught up in no time.

“where are you going?” he asked. you don’t know if he was genuinely asking or just stupid. can’t he see what he said hurt you?
