"EXCLUSIVE: Minho's Confession to Kitty - What's Really Going On?"

The post revealed how, last semester, Minho had confessed to Kitty while on a plane, admitting he had feelings for her. It hinted that there was more to their relationship than anyone realized-that Minho and Kitty might still be involved or could rekindle their romance. The blog speculated about hidden meetings and unanswered texts. It was a bombshell that no one had expected.

Dove stared at the screen, feeling a mix of confusion and betrayal. She hadn't known anything about this. How had she missed it? The whole post felt like a punch to the gut.

"What the heck?" Megan muttered, reading over Dove's shoulder. "So...Minho and Kitty?"

Hyejin stood silently, reading along, her brow furrowed. "But I thought they weren't a thing? We're they secretly dating this whole time?"

"Apparently." Dove replied, voice barely above a whisper. "It says they might be..."

"But wasn't he dating Stella?" Megan said as Hyejin shook her head.

"They broke up two weeks ago, Megan." Hyejin said, making Megan shake her head.

"No! Haven't they been dating since this semester? The post alleges that there might still be some romance between Kitty and Minho." Megan said before looking at Dove.

"According to my sister, Kitty and Minho were like... super romantic with each other last semester. People thought they were dating, but Minho told them they weren't. " Megan said, making Dove furrow her brows.

"So they weren't dating, but there was some romantic tension between them?" Dove asked as Hyejin nodded.

"Something like that... but last semester... I heard... Kitty was dating Dae...." Hyejin said, making the information sound more scandalous.

"Wait... how many people has Kitty even dated?" Dove asked in shock.

Before they could digest the full weight of the reveal, the sound of students whispering flooded the halls outside their door. It was already spreading.

The following day, the three girls arrived at school, walking through the courtyard, still processing the expose. The atmosphere felt different. Every few steps, whispers of Minho and Kitty seemed to swirl around them. The tension was thick.

But then, they saw it.

In the middle of the courtyard, Dae and Minho were face-to-face, locked in a furious brawl. Students had gathered around, watching in shock as both friends punched and shoved each other, yelling.

"Minho, you lied to me!" Dae's voice rang out, his face flushed with anger.

"You think I wanted this?" Minho shot back, his fists raised. "You have no idea -"

The girls froze, unsure of what to do. Both their groups were caught in the middle, watching in horror but not stepping in. Megan gripped Dove's arm, her face pale. "This is... this is bad," she whispered.

Minho and Dae's friends were all standing on the sidelines, some looking worried, others unsure how to break up the fight. Hyejin glanced over at Megan and Dove, her lips pressed into a tight line. "We need to do something."

But neither of them moved. The fight was more than just physical-it was filled with raw emotion, the tension from the expose pushing everything to the surface.

Dove's heart pounded. She wanted to step in to stop it all, but she wasn't sure how. Minho's confession to Kitty months back had opened a door no one had expected, and now, it seemed like the whole school was watching their second fallout unfold. No one knew what the first fallout was about, but it was sure that everyone was gonna know what the second one was about.

The fight raged on for a few more moments, the crowd of students growing, unsure of how to handle the situation. Dae and Minho were locked in a struggle, neither one backing down. Dove, Megan, and Hyejin stood frozen in place, the tension too heavy for any of them to move.

"This is insane," Dove muttered, her eyes wide. "We need to get help."

Megan nodded, her mind racing. She pulled out her phone, quickly dialling for a teacher. After a few moments of ringing, the call connected, and she quickly explained the situation. Within minutes, teachers were on the scene, rushing to break up the fight.

"Enough!" one of the teachers shouted as they pulled Minho and Dae apart, both boys panting heavily, their faces flushed with anger.

The crowd slowly dispersed, murmuring as they walked away. Minho and Dae were led off to the principal's office, their heads hanging low, no one daring to speak a word.

The rest of the school day was a blur. When the bell rang for class, Dove, Megan, and Hyejin made their way to their next period, but the weight of the morning's events lingered over them.

As they entered the classroom, the atmosphere felt like a pressure cooker. Students were whispering to each other, glancing at Minho and Dae, who had just returned from the principal's office. The tension in the room was palpable, thick enough to cut with a knife.

Dove sat down at her desk, and her stomach twisted in knots. She couldn't shake the image of Minho and Dae, both looking so furious and distant. How had things gotten this bad? Who even wrote the article?

Minho and Dae took their seats, and for a moment, the entire room fell silent. The air seemed heavy, as if everyone was waiting for the next move. Neither of the boys spoke. They just sat there, avoiding each other's gaze, each lost in their own thoughts.

The teacher began the lesson, but no one seemed to be fully paying attention. It was hard to concentrate with the undercurrent of unease that hung in the air. No one knew how to act around Minho and Dae now-not after the public fallout, the expose, and the fight.

Dove exchanged glances with Megan and Hyejin. There was a lot to unpack, but for now, they were just going to have to sit in this uncomfortable silence.

Later that day, after classes ended, Dove was walking past the courtyard with some books sphe borrowed from the library. She was humming the tune of the song she was gonna sing for the competition when she saw Minho sitting on a bench alone, his back facing her.

Dove hesitated, debating whether or not she should just keep walking. Maybe it was better not to say anything after everything that had happened today. But just as she turned to leave, Dove felt his eyes on her.

She looked up, and for a split second, their gazes locked. He gave her a slow once-over, his expression unreadable, before standing up and walking toward Dove.

"Dove," he said, his voice low, but she could hear the tension in it.

She felt her heart beat a little faster. This was it. She couldn't keep walking away now.

Considering Minho already apologized, maybe something good might happen??

Idk if the plot still makes sense 😭
