You tried to bring up the topic "Naohiro" a few times because you did want to know with what lies she convinced all of them to side with her but Riki or the others kinda dismissed you several times.

You didn't give in though, you wanted to know the truth.

"Riki... would you please tell me now?", you asked another time.

He just sighed as he looked to the others who were already sitting at your usual table in the cafeteria as the two of you still stood in line.

Riki looked back at you. "Wait a little longer, okay?"

"I don't want to wait any longer. I wanna know what made you guys be convinced on ignoring and hurting me. But fine, if you want to wait, sure. Come back to me when you no longer want to wait.", and so you put back the tray and went outside. You were frustrated, sure you also didn't want to hurt him or the others but they hurt you and still didn't explain themselves about this situation with her.

You hated to walk out on him like that but you also hated to not know the truth, so you went back to your dorm room but before you entered, you changed your mind because you didn't want to be found right now, so you planned to go to another place but as you just turned around, Riki was walking towards you. "Y/n..."

"If you don't want to talk about it, then I don't wanna hear anything else."

"Please... I really do... I just-"

"You can't? Yeah, sure."

You turned around to go the other way but Riki passed by you and stood in front of you. "Y/n, please. It's not that easy to explain..."

"And why not? Apparently it was super easy to just ignore me. So whatever she told you-"

"I just can't... and it wasn't, really... she just... she just knew things no one should know..."

"And how come SHE knows stuff about you and I don't?"

"I don't know how she knows... she just does... and with these things she threatened and manipulated us..."

"All of you? Yeah right, as if Jay, Sunoo or Jungwon or basically anyone of you just gets manipulated by her... but apparently it was pretty easy."

"But things weren't as easy as you make it sound, really..."

You sighed and looked away. You didn't want to be like this but you were just frustrated yourself and even though Riki still had a sweet tone, he didn't seem to not be exactly any less frustrated.

As you entered the cafeteria the next morning you could see Riki talking with Naohiro.

"You've got to be kidding me.", you mumbled to yourself in disappointment and continued to look at them. Why would he talk to her again?? The next thing broke you.

Riki literally kissed her! Riki kissed her??

Shock, sadness and disappointment were written all over your face, you couldn't stand this any longer.

You ran outside, started crying and texted Riki with the old phone Jay just gave you a few days ago: "Don't you ever talk to me again! I never wanna see you again!" Then you blocked him and broke down as soon as you left the building.

You were on the ground, your hands kept on wiping away the tears as they kept on flowing down your face.

What the hell just happened?? Why would he kiss her? Didn't you guys have something going on? Didn't he feel the connection or was it just you? And out of all these other people, he chose to kiss her!

"Y/n??", Jay and the others walked towards you.

You just kept on looking to the ground as you continued to cry.

He kneeled down in front of you and softly pulled you into a hug. You couldn't believe what happened and cried even more at the thought of him kissing her.

"What's wrong?", he quietly said as he patted your back.

"Riki...", was all that you could say before another flow of tears came streaming down your face.

"What did he do?", Sunghoon asked.

"I'll talk to him.", Sunoo said and went inside with Jungwon.

You just stayed in Jay's arms and he helped you up as you eventually stopped crying.

He continued to hold you and together with the others you went to Jay and Jake's dorm room. He softly helped you get out of your shoes and let you stay in his bed as you just took his pillow and held onto it.

The guys looked at you with empathy, they didn't know what happened but they never saw you cry like this before, well except the recent time they hurt you... but this time it was because of something their youngest friend did, so it must be horrible as well or even worse.
