All it took was Yeona slamming her phone screen onto the desk for them to look at her in confusion, especially when they saw her covering her blushing face with her hand. To say that she was red was an understatement, the blush extended down to her neck, and her ears turned red.
"Um, "Yeongchan started quietly, "Are you okay?" It was a valid question because it was very out of character for her to be acting like that. Especially since she had shown that while she had money, she still liked to take care of her belongings. Something must have happened for her to suddenly slam her phone onto the desk like that.
She awkwardly cleared her throat and pulled away her hands as she averted her eyes, "Fine…I uh…someone sent me an…inappropriate picture…" she fanned her bright red face in an attempt to recompose herself.
Their expressions curdled almost immediately, much to the confusion of Ijin. Because to be fair, there were a lot of things that could be considered an inappropriate picture. It could be something vulgar from a male or female, or something disturbing. Though it seemed like everyone knew what she had gotten. Seokju in particular looked just as upset as Yeona, if not more.
"Oh gross," Hyeokjin was scrunching up his nose in disgust, "who sent you a dick pic? Someone we know?"
Oh gross.
Ijin was scrunching up his nose in disgust like everyone else.
He's heard about people doing that (that was probably one of the first things Kang told him not to do, though he never understood why he would do it in the first place.) But he didn't think it would happen to someone that he knew. The thought of someone sending such a picture had him cringing further. There was nothing photogenic about a dick. He should know, he has one, and not once has he thought it was a great idea to take a picture of himself and then share it like it was something to be proud of.
She cleared her throat again, and slowly, the blush started to go away as she calmed down, "No. It was just a random account on instagram. I'll block them right now." That didn't sound like a bad idea. Blocking that guy would hopefully teach him a lesson in not being weird and it would also stop that guy from sending her any more pictures.
But that wasn't enough for Jaehyung.
"Or," Jaehyung dragged out the word, a mischievous look on his face as he grinned, "You can fuck with them. Send one back. Give him a taste of his own medicine."
That also didn't sound like a bad idea. The thought of sending one back made snickers go around the group.
Just like Yeona didn't ask for the dick picture, Ijin was sure that the sender wouldn't be expecting to see a dick picture being sent back. Not to mention it would confuse the sender because no one expects a dick picture to be sent in return.
Though that raised one question.
They all fell into silence, all of the boys exchanging looks and expecting glances.
Who was going to take the picture?
Yeongchan started it first, "Not it." It started to go around the circle.
"Nope."
"I'm not doing it, you do it."
Ijin gave a firm shake of his head. "I'm not doing it." He and Yeona were friends, but they most definitely were not close enough for him to take a picture of himself like that to send it as revenge.
Hell, he wouldn't even do it for Dayeon, it was just weird.
"Uh," They all turned to Seokju, who was pinching the bridge of his nose as he firmly said, "No. I don't want any of your dicks on her phone." Which was a fair point, but at the same time, they all still wanted to mess with the guy.
They just didn't want to be the ones that sent a picture of their dick.
But they didn't give up on trying to help Yeona. "Just look one up and send that." Hyeokjin suggested.
Yeona was quick to protest, "No! I'm not having that in my search history!" Ok, that was another fair point. Ijin had learned enough to know about the internet to know that if they looked that up, then Yeona would get some weird ads.
Jaehyung perked up, "Ok well what if we take the picture, send it, and then delete it from the phone gallery?"
Hyeokjin pondered over the question for a few seconds before he shook his head. "That still leaves the question of whose picture we're taking." That almost made another round of denials go around before Seokju cut in again.
Seokju was starting to get thoroughly annoyed that the conversation was still going on, "Why are we still talking about this? No one is sending anything on her phone!"
Hyeokjin turned to Seokju with a mischievous smile, "Seokju, you're Yeona's friend aren't you?"
"No. Absolutely not." Seokju adamantly denied it. He knew what Hyeokjin was trying to infer and there was no way he was going to do that for Yeona. They may have been childhood friends, but it was that exact relationship that made it even weirder for him to do like that for Yeona.
Not to mention, if his parents found out what they did, even if it was out of a joke or an attempt to help her out, they would kill him. Seokju wouldn't even be surprised if they forced him into house arrest or something.
Before anyone could stop him, Jaehyung plucked Yeona's phone from her hands and positioned himself so no one could see what he was doing as he took out his own phone.
Ijin had to restrain Seokju from leaping over the desks to stop him, "He's already taking one for the team, no need to stop him." Despite that, Seokju was still trying to break free, and wisely, everyone leaned away from the pair so they couldn't get involved in the little tussle.
"Jaehyung, don't you fucking dare!" Seokju yelled out indignantly, a few of their classmates turning around before dismissing their antics. Seokju was thoroughly upset that Jaehyung was actually fulfilling the suggestion. Not that Ijin blamed him because he would most likely be doing the same if it was Dayeon rather than Yeona.
But all that mattered was that it wasn't Dayeon so Seokju was going to have to suck it up.
Jaehyung snorted. "Oh, I'm not using a picture of me." Finally, Jaehyung handed back the phone to its owner, "My brother connected to the family icloud last night by accident." that made all of them come to a stop. Hyeokjin inhaled sharply only to choke on his saliva and in the middle of Seokju trying to escape, Ijin, Seokju, and Yeongchan stared at their friend in horror.
Not only were they amazed that Jaehyungs brother made a mistake like that, but they were also dumbfounded that Jaehyung was throwing his brother under the bus like that.
To use his brother's dick picture as ammo toward another guy…
They honestly didn't know if they should feel bad for his brother or if they should find it amusing.
Yeona quietly took her phone back and that was that. She blocked the guy and they went on with the rest of their day, and after giving Jaehyung some shit for throwing his brother under the bus like that, they went on with their day.
Everything went on normally for the next few weeks, the guy was blocked and the rather short incident left everyone's mind.
Wanting to know the next time they were going to go gaming, Yeona opened it up to text Jaehyung only to fling her phone away, her face a bright red once again. The way she flung it away made it fall off the couch and naturally, Seokju picked it up to give it back.
Then he saw the dick picture.
And then he saw that it was from Jaehyung.
Seokju came to a conclusion within seconds.
He also made up his mind within seconds.
In fact, as soon as he handed Yeona's phone back to her (after deleting the photo for her) he took out his own phone to send a very simple text to him.
Seokju: im going to fucking kill you.
Jaehyung felt his heart skip a beat when he got the text and within seconds, he was dropping everything to try and figure out just what the hell he did where he warranted such a reaction from Seokju.
Seokju was one of the calmest people that he knew, almost as calm as Ijin, so he had to have done something.
He just had no idea what he did!
Jaehyung: ?
Jaehyung: what did I do?
Jaehyung: Seokju?
Jaehyung: what did I do?!
Desperate to try and find out what exactly he had done to get such a text, he went to text Yeona. Seokju and Yeona stayed together probably until it was time for him to go home for the night, so he had faith that she knew why Seokju was so upset.
He didn't even have to ask because the moment he opened the messages he had with her, he realized what he had forgotten to do.
Right there staring right back at him, was the dick pic that he had sent to her to get back at that weird guy.
And he forgot to delete it.
He felt the blood drain out of his face because fuck.
No wonder Seokju wanted to kill him.
Anxiously, he went back to the messages with Seokju and he just knew that based on the read status, Seokju was way too upset to be reasoned with over text. As much as he hated it, he was going to have to do it in person and hope that Seokju would let him explain before he got strangled.
By the time morning came around, Seokju still hadn't answered him. The bastard had read them, but he hadn't answered them, the absolute little shit.
The little shit that he was terrified of.
The little shit that if it wasn't for Hyeokjin dragging him out of the house, he wouldn't have gone to school to avoid him at all costs.
Jaehyung knew that he needed to man up so he could clear everything up with Seokju, but he would be lying if he said that Seokju didn't scare him, especially if the said friend was pissed.
That didn't stop him from beelining right for Ijin as soon as he got there. If anyone could protect him from Seokju, it was definitely Ijin.
And Jaehyung had no shame in admitting that he wanted Ijin to protect him.
Ijin raised his eyebrow, "Seokju thinks that you sent the dick pic you used for that guy to Yeona because you felt like it? And now he's mad at you?"
He nodded his head vigorously. "Yes. Exactly!" It was already a shit situation, but the way Ijin just started laughing after hearing that really made it worse. "It's not funny!" It as anything but funny!
"It is pretty funny." Hyeokjin agreed and he couldn't help but feel betrayed. Seokju was going to try and kill him as soon as he came to school and those assholes weren't concerned in the slightest!
Well to be fair, Ijin had nothing to be scared of, but Hyeokjin should have been worried at the very least! Between the three of them, Seokju was going to beat the living shit out of Hyeokjin, who was really Jaehyung's only line of defense, before moving onto him.
Jaehyung tried to reaffirm his point but before he could even get his thoughts to do that, the classroom door slid open.
Seokju walked in first.
And he looked absolutely murderous.
Seokju stalked towards him and in his panic, Jaehyung scrambled behind Hyeokjin, using his dear friend as a shield as he screamed out, "The dicks don't match!"
Hyeokjin, Ijin, and Yeongchan burst into laughter even as the classroom came to a stop. Their classmates stared at them in horror and embarrassment, Seokju nearly stopped mid-stride before he continued, "what the fuck Jaehyung?"
Jaehyung backed away, holding his hands out as another line of defense, frantically shaking his head as he did so. He was desperate. "I can show you the difference-!"
Seokju's expression curdled at the offer, "I don't need to see that! Just actually explain what happened!"
"I didn't send that picture to Yeona! Well, I did but it was for the guy that sent her a dick pic on instagram and I sent it to her to send it to him. But it's not my dick! It's my brothers dick after he connected to the family icloud because he was trying to show our parents how to connect to it because my grandma asked for help and then my grandpa asked for help because he didn't know either and-"
"Jaehyung." Seokju cut him off, exasperated to hell and back by the explanation that is so needlessly roundabout, "You're a shit liar." that explanation was so messy, Seokju was starting to think that it really was a picture of Jaehyung.
Jaehyung looked ready to cry.
Ijin, Hyeokjin, and Yeongchan were still laughing, the three of them nearly folded in half as they did so. Even Yeona was laughing, which made the humiliation so much worse because Jaehyung was in trouble because of her!
"It was not me!"
"J-Jaehyung," Hyeokjin stammered out, his face a bright contrast to his bleached hair, "D-dude." he had to take a few seconds to stop his laughing, "Didn't you say that your mom regretted getting your brother circumcised so she didn't do it to you?"
Jaehyung brightened up at that because he was right! It was going to be obvious who was who because he wasn't circumcised like his brother was!
Seokju made a sound of disgust that had the others howling, the entire class staring at them both because of the situation that was playing out and because of the way they were laughing.
Seokju really didn't want to learn whether or not Jaehyung really was uncircumcised. They were friends, but they weren't the type of friends that looked at each other's dicks unless it was necessary and that was not one of those situations.
Apparently, Jaehyung agreed, "You can ask my mom if-"
"I am not asking your mom." that was almost as bad as looking at the actual picture! And how was he supposed to explain that?! 'I think your son sent our friend a picture of his dick so can you please confirm that this is not your son's dick?'? That sounded even worse when Seokju put it into words!
Jaehyung looked like he was on the verge of tears again. "It's not me! I just forgot to delete the picture when Yeona got that picture from that weird guy!"
Seokju still didn't believe him and his doubt must have been visible because the redhead continued, the same desperate tone in his voice, "why don't you believe me!? Are you sure you don't want to ask my mom? I'll call her right now." yeah. Seokju wasn't any more willing to accept Jaehyung's offer after the second time.
He scrutinized the redhead, taking in his friend's nervous energy and his earnest and sincere attempts to convince him. The only problem was that Seokju had no idea if Jaehyung was being so sincere because he was trying to prove that it wasn't him in the picture and that he had not sent that picture as a shitty attempt to court Yeona, or if he was telling the truth.
Seokju glanced over at the others. Hyeokjin looked like he was on the verge of passing out with how hard he was laughing; Ijin, Yeona, and Yeongchan being in similar, more composed states. Then he looked back at Jaehyung, who was fidgeting on the spot.
He huffed. He better be telling the truth. "Ok fine. I believe you. You're an idiot."
Jaehyung let out a giant sigh of relief, his entire body slumping forward as the tension left his body. "Oh, thank god." He breathed out, sounding completely and utterly relieved as everyone started to go back to normal. The three idiots and Yeona were starting to calm down, the four of them returning to their usual color since that they stopped laughing so hard.
Even as Seokju watched his friend be idiots, he could see the questioning looks for their classmates from the shitshow that just happened with his friend group. And he knew just that they were collectively wondering what the hell was wrong with them. Not that Seokju blamed them because only they were weird enough to have a conversation like that while in the classroom.
"Man." Hyeokjin breathed out, wiping away a tear as he heaved out a sigh, "That was the funniest shit I've seen in a while." Chuckles punctuated his sentence as he did so, the others around him copying him.
"That was not funny." Jaehyung said firmly, a pout on his face, "I thought Seokju was going to kill me."
"I was going to kill you," Seokju added, which probably didn't help the situation in the long run, but it was the truth. The thought of one of his friends sending a picture like that in a shit courting attempt was enough to make him upset all over again, especially since he trusts them to not do anything shitty like that.
"So…" Seokju nearly jumped out of his skin at the voice behind him, as did some of the others. It was the class president, and he had a slight smile on his face as he continued. "Dick pictures huh?"
The reaction was immediate. That was the first conversation he initiated that wasn't about a class-related topic and it was about dick pictures of all things. Seokju was absolutely disgusted, Yeongchan and Hyeokjin burst out laughing, and Ijin, and Yeona were just confused that was what drew him over. Because really what the hell was up with him?
Before anyone could tell him what the hell was wrong with him, he followed it up, "Everyone in the classroom heard the conversation. You need to keep your voices down." Ijin and Yeona joined in the others in laughing again. "we don't want or need to know who is circumcised or not." at that point, Jaehyung and Seokju were the only ones not laughing as they turned into cherries out of embarrassment. Damn near mortified that it was the class president that was confronting them about their conversation topics.
"Right." Seokju awkwardly cleared his throat, red enough to look like someone had covered his face with rouge, "I'm sorry. We'll be more conscientious from now on." Hyeokjin was by far the one laughing the hardest, his laughter overpowering the other's laughs with how hard he was laughing.
The class president, who looked oddly pleased with himself, gave them a firm nod before he went back to his seat. It was only after they got elbowed when the others started to stifle their laughter. Not that it helped. Throughout the day, Jaehyung and Seokju could tell each time they remembered the morning's events because each time they did, they had to smother their laughter behind their hands.
Each time, Seokju and Jaehyung wanted to die of embarrassment.
