"Sooo... you're not Inho anymore", a student from his class says as soon as Inho enters the class room. He can clearly sense the tension in here. Surely the stupid boy tried to gossip behind his back.

"Who am I then?"

"You're...", the student takes a meaningful pause, "Inhomo." Then he laughs, wild and loud. "You get that, faggot? Hahahaha! Or do you prefer Gayho?"

Inho doesn't like him at all. He doesn't even want to call his name. "Nice wordplay", he sassily congratulates with an unreadable facial expression, "but we're not close enough to give each other cute names." He's nervous and mad at that boy but doesn't want to show it. The other one is visible irritated by his reaction and doesn't know what to say. Did he expect Inho to scream at him and rage? Inho will not give him that satisfaction, he will stay calm and play it cool, he will act as if he is out and proud just like Hyunuk suggested in case anyone wanted to harass them because of that picture.

"So. You're the one who took the pic?" The boy nervously gulps instead of answering and Inho thinks of unfolding the sheet of paper to proudly present it. But he doesn't. The wannabe-bully knows exactly which picture Inho means. "Send it to me, then delete it. It's mine", he demands.

"O-okay."

"Great!" With a smile Inho walks to his place and enjoys his victory in this verbal exchange. One of the girls who are friends with him approaches him and hands over a note. He unfolds and quietly reads: "Is it true?"

Instead of writing an answer he looks through the class and announces: "In case you were wondering - I've got the most handsome boyfriend in school."

"Well... I think he has an equally handsome boyfriend", she answers and makes him smile. Some people laugh and applaud and everyone is in good mood now - except that one person.

And Inho. After thinking about it again he secretly regrets telling everyone, fearing eventual consequences, but for now everything seems fine.

"It went well in my class", he tells Yeontae when their group of friends meets during the first break. "They know now."

"Cool."

"Know what?", Sunghyun asks.

"You didn't see it?" Jiahn seems surprised. He himself had no clue as well until Yeontae informed him - with Inhos consent, of course. Yeontae is a good hyung who would never lift his friends secrets.

"See what? Tell me, Hyung!"

"What do I get for telling you?"

"Nothing because I will tell it", Inho laughs. "Hyunuk is my boyfriend. It's offical now."

For a moment, everbody is quiet.

Then Sunghyun asks: "Boyfriend?"

"Yes."

"Hyunuk who?"

"Han Hyunuk, a year younger than me, smart, handsome, might seem quiet at first, is actually very sweet", Inho lists a few things he knows about him.

"Okay... that means you're gay?"

"That's right."

"And we all are okay with it?"

Everyone answers Sunghyuns question with a nod. At first, Inho was worried about that, too. But Yeontae didn't say anything this morning, he just accepted Hyunuk at Inhos side, and Pyo, the tall sassy pierced one, is secretly very hyped about his friend finally being in love for the first time. Thus Inho just trusted the other ones, too. They're his friends after all.

"So... Can I be gay too?", Sunghyun asks further.

"Sure! We will all support you in case you get bullied, just like we support Inho!", Jiahn, the eldest, promises their big maknae.

"Great! You go on a date with me, right?"

"I... what??"

"You get that despite not telling me... but you're lucky you're so cute so I'm not mad at you for teasing me."

"Wait wait wait wai-"

"See you after school, Hyung. Can't wait to go out with you. Bye bye!" With a bright smile the younger one disappears before Jiahn gets the chance to refuse.

"Congratulations!", Yeontae says with a mischievous grin.

"Shut up please. Everyone", his classmate responds. By now his cheeks are burning red.

"I didn't even say anything", Pyo whispers but he giggles, too. There's no chance for Jiahn to hide his secret crush anymore.
