“Alright class, that will be all today. Make sure to do all of the written problems because I will be collecting it for next class!” the teacher announces just as the bell dings for the end of the period.
“Sheesh, I thought that would never end.” Tao yawns into his hand and both Jongin and Sehun nod in agreement.
“I like him and all but this class is just painfully boring.” Sehun says as they leave the room, making sure they were out of earshot.
“Did you guys do the homework from last, last class?” Jongin yawns this time though that doesn’t stop him from continuing to talk.
“Yeah, I got Kris to help me.” Tao smirks and Sehun gags a bit.
“Fancy having a boyfriend who’s a senior, eh?” Jongin swiggles his eyebrows and Tao coughs/laughs/chokes.
“Sehun has one too! Oh wait no, he hasn’t made any moves to ask Luhan out.” Tao goes for a high-five with Jongin but gets intercepted by a slap from Sehun.
“Don’t even go there. I’m taking things slow with Luhan.” Sehun huffs, walking away from the other two.
“You can’t take things slow when it hasn’t even started!” Tao shouts and gets a book thrown towards his abdomen.
Which doesn’t miss.
“I’ll see you guys later, gotta meet up with Kyungsoo.” Jongin moves away from Tao who has fallen to the floor and waves goodbye to Sehun who is still storming away.
“Hey what happened?” he hears someone ask which he presumes is Kris.
“Hey!” someone calls out and he sees the boy at the end of the hallway.
He’s so cute. Jongin thinks as a smile forms on his face.
“Sorry we couldn’t hang out last week, my teachers are giving us a lot of assignments already.” Kyungsoo tells him when he reaches Jongin.
He huffs as he struggles to balance three heavy looking books in his tiny arms.
“Let me…” Jongin doesn’t even finish his sentence as he takes the books from the latter.
“Thanks…” Kyungsoo smiles softly and Jongin blushes.
And he doesn’t know why he’s the one blushing but hey what can he do, his boyfriend is way too cute.
“So, are you free this weekend though?” Jongin asks when they get into step together.
“Actually… I’m not.” Kyungsoo looks at him with a pout and sad looking eyes.
And Jongin feels his heart drop a little bit too.
“Assignments?” Jongin asks and watches as Kyungsoo slowly shakes his head.
“We got assigned a group project, it’s supposed to run through until winter break so I’m going to be pretty busy with that for a while…” Kyungsoo tells him and he touches Jongin’s arm lightly.
“Oh, that’s okay…” Jongin feels himself pout and Kyungsoo brings his hand closer to Jongin’s face.
“I’ll make time I promise, but just not this week. Junmyeon and I have to start planning for it.” Kyungsoo tells him.
“Is it just you two?” Jongin asks, his eyes bulging out a bit, which makes the other boy, smile a little brighter.
“Yeah… But don’t worry! It’s totally okay!” Kyungsoo kisses Jongin on the cheek as he takes his books from his arms.
“I’ll see you after school!” Kyungsoo waves goodbye and Jongin doesn’t know why he’s leaving until he realizes that the bell for the next class is ringing.
“Well that sucks.” Jongin huffs as he moves through the crowd and follows the flow to the other building where his class will be in.
-
“Yo…”he greets Yixing and Minseok as he enters the dance class.
He sees that Sehun is already there but he doesn’t look too happy.
At least someone else is suffering too. Jongin thinks.
“What’s up?” Jongin asks Sehun as he drops his bag against the wall of the room.
“Luhan switched from this class to choir…” Sehun sighs and Jongin feels him.
“I feel you.” Jongin pats his shoulder and Sehun sighs again.
“Now I don't know how to ask him out… I was going to do it through this class…” Sehun slumps down on the floor.
“I’ll help you figure it out if you help me with something.” Jongin tells him as he starts changing his pants.
“What do you want.” Sehun sighs as he lazily takes off his pants as well.
“You two! Hurry up, we gotta start practicing our choreo!” Yixing yells towards them and they both start to hurrily change.
“I need help with Kyungsoo.” Jongin says as they start to move towards the center of the dance floor.
“Ohh, paradise ain’t looking too good for you guys?” Sehun smirks and Jongin stretches out his leg and turns, hitting Sehun has he does.
He hears Sehun groan in pain and he high fives himself in his mind.
“If you don’t help me I will make sure you never have any chance with Luhan.” Jongin threatens and Sehun waves his hands up.
“Okay okay. What happened with you two?” Sehun asks as he bends forward, his hand reaching the floor.
“We haven’t spent time and I just found out he won’t have free time because he’s doing a stupid project with stupid Junmyeon.” Jongin almost growls out and someone shushes him.
“You two can talk about your problems later!” Minseok stops his stretching to look at them.
“Sorry!” Sehun and Jongin both yell out at the same time.
“We’ll plan later.” Sehun whispers to him.
-
“Fina-freaking-ly, I have been so hungry all day.” Tao brings his lunch over their table and starts to devour it.
“Hey guys!” Chanyeol greets as he places his tray on the table.
“Wassap!” Baekhyun greets as he opens up his lunch bag and starts to take out all of his food, which he mainly passes towards Chanyeol.
“What’s wrong with them?” Jongdae sits next to Tao, point a finger towards Jongin and Sehun.
“They’re planning stuff, I think about Luhan and Kyungsoo.” Tao says in between bites.
“Oh speaking of Kyungsoo! Jongin, he told me to tell you he’s going home with Junmyeon today instead.” Jongdae says as he picks up his spoon to eat his soup but is stopped suddenly.
“What?!” Jongdae asks when Jongin grabs the boy’s arm.
“What. Did. You. Say.” Jongin says with clenched teeth and Jongdae pries his fingers off his arms.
“Your boy is going home with another boy. School project or something.” Jongdae looks at him as if he’s gone crazy while Baekhyun and Chanyeol just hold in their laughter.
“Junmyeon is going down. Sehun we gotta kick start this plan right now!”
-
“So, I think we should start jotting down the outline?” Junmyeon softly says as Kyungsoo takes out a notebook and smiles.
“Ready when you are.” Kyungsoo smiles at him before turning his attention to his notebook.
Junmyeon smiles as well before beginning to lay down some ideas for Kyungsoo.
“Ugh look at that! That should be me right now! That’s our spot!” Jongin harshly whispers and Sehun rolls his eyes.
“You guys sat there once, and only because you got hit in the head with a baseball.” Sehun reminds him.
“That was the day he walked me home too, for the first time mind you.” Jongin gushes and Sehun makes a retched noise.
“I don’t even know why I’m here…” Sehun whispers to himself and Jongin mumbles a ‘huh?’ to which Sehun shakes his head and starts to make hand signals towards the other two.
“Focus.” Sehun says and Jongin tries.
And fails after a couple of minutes.
“We cannot execute this plan if you keep on talking about how you should be there instead of Junmyeon and then carrying on with your stories about Kyungsoo!” Sehun pulls Jongin out of the bush they were hiding behind.
“But it just makes me-“ Jongin says before squealing and making noticeably weird noises to which everyone stares at them with judging eyes.
“Ugh. Gross.” Sehun shoves Jongin towards a bush and briskly walks away, avoiding the gazes that are still following him.
-
“Jongin?” Kyungsoo’s face appears from the corner of the street and Jongin perks up in delight.
“Hi, I thought we could walk home today?” Jongin slightly skips towards the smaller boy and smiles when Kyungsoo’s eyes turn into crescents.
“You’re so cute. But I can’t. I’m not going home, I’m meeting Junmyeon at the library.” He tells him and kisses his cheek softly before walking away.
“Buy Kyungsoo!” Jongin cries out and the other boy turns around briefly.
“I’ll call you when I get home!” Kyungsoo shouts as he continues to walk down the street.
“God dammit Junmyeon. Ugh.” Jongin kicks an invisible pebble and walks the opposite direction.
“Aw someone looks like a kicked puppy.” Jongdae gushes when Jongin appears on his doorstep.
“Shut it, I need help.” Jongin says darkly and Jongdae just smiles.
“My services are quite popular these days.” Jongdae winks and opens the door wider so that another boy could fit through to exit.
“Luhan?” Jongin looks at him, greeting and questioning at the same time.
“Hey, uh gotta go! See you in dance tomorrow!” Luhan waves as he starts jogging away.
“What did he want?” Jongin asks when he enters the house.
“Confidential.” Jongdae says as he puts a light finger to his lips.
Jongin just rolls his eyes.
“So, what do you need little puppy?” Jongdae sits and crosses his legs and takes out a pair of fake glasses from some drawer.
Jongin rolls his eyes again.
“I need you to get rid of someone for me.” Jongin seriously says as he looks into Jongdae’s eyes.
“Uh huh, and I’m going to assume this is Junmyeon?” Jongdae smiles wider.
Jongin scoffs.
“How did you know?!” Jongin groans in a very high pitched voice, losing any cool demeanor he thought he had five seconds ago.
“Everyone knows Jongin, at least everyone with eyes.” Jongdae shrugs and Jongin makes a frustrated sound.
“I can get rid of Junmyeon. But I need you to match my price.” Jongdae tells him right when Jongin finishes his little fit.
Jongin just keeps rolling his eyes today.
“What… better yet, who do you want?” He asks and he shivers when he sees that catty smile.
Jongdae slides a paper across the table.
“Deal?” Jongdae asks when Jongin takes the paper.
Jongin smiles ruefully.
“Deal.” Jongin says.
“Well now that, that’s over, wanna go to the cream parlor?” Jongdae asks and Jongin shrugs.
“Yeah, why not.”
-
“You seriously made a deal?” Sehun shakes his head as he likes his chocolate ice cream.
The door of the shop opens and a soft ringing filling the tiny place.
Jongdae, Sehun, and Jongin turn around to see Minseok entering the shop. He has on the same clothes as the workers so they know he’s working a shift today.
“Oh, that’s why you invited me here.” Jongin smiles into his ice cream cone.
“Confidential remember?” Jongdae hums, side-eyeing Sehun, who is still staring at the door.
They didn’t realize another person walked in right after Minseok.
“He works here now too, they seem to be hitting it off nicely.” Jongdae says when Luhan laughs at an unknown joke that Minseok most likely told him.
Sehun sighs.
A card is slipped across the table.
“My business card, I made it earlier today.” Jongdae says to Sehun, winking at him as well.
-
Jongin wakes up extra early today, gets all of his belongings together and makes sure he has ample time to look mighty fine.
He smiles at himself. He looks so hot that Kyungsoo has to stop whatever he’s doing to make out with him.
Or at least that’s what he dreams of happening.
So he takes one long look at himself, smacks his cheeks to give them a little bit of color and he hears someone gag.
It’s his sister who had just passed by the bathroom and had witnessed this whole ordeal.
“Shut up, I know you do it too!” he yells out as he hears more gagging sounds.
He whistles down the stairs and his mom looks at him weirdly.
“You better have not done the deed with Kyungsoo. He’s such a good boy.” His mom says and Jongin almost chokes on the waffle he stole from someone’s plate.
“Mom!” Jongin shouts.
“Just saying, don’t do that to Kyungsoo. You gotta wait and be all romantic.” His mom winks at him and he suddenly loses his appetite.
“Ugh bye Mom.” Jongin wades out to the front door as he hears his mom’s blessings for a good day at school.
Sehun comes around a corner and he jogs towards him.
“Why do you look like that?” Sehun yawns as he asks.
“Gotta look good, Jongdae told me that I have to be irresistible.” Jongin fixes up his polo shirt and winks at Sehun.
“You look kinda weird.” Sehun teslls him and Jongin pouts.
“What do you mean weird?” Jongins questions.
“Uh, weird. Just weird bro.” Sehun finalizes because someone comes into their view.
Junmyeon appears from the next street over and Sehun nudges Jongin.
“Plan?” Sehun asks and Jongin shakes his head.
“None.” Jongin says.
Junmyeon stats by the street light, waiting for it to turn green, which gives them ample time to catch up to him.
“Make one. Oh by the way, Jongdae likes Junmyeon that’s why he’s helping you.” Sehun quickly tells him.
“What?! How do you know?!” Jongin starts to yell but Sehun shushes him.
“Baekhyun told me, and then Luhan confirmed it. Oh yeah, so Luhan and I have a date today so I can’t hang with you so you better make this work!” Sehun pushes him towards Junmyeon and starts to head for the other direction.
“Oh sorry.” Jongin bows lightly but Junmyeon only smiles.
“Don’t worry about it.” Junmyeon tells him.
“Uhm so, how’s the project going… uh with Kyungsoo?” Jongin softly asks.
“It’s going well, we’re halfway done so I’m going over his house today again.” Junmyeon smiles as he talks.
“Jongdae is in one of your classes right?” Jongin asks just as the light turns green.
They walk side by side as they cross the street.
“Jongdae… ah yeah, he’s in my history and math class. Why?” Junmyeon responds and Jongin gulps and tries to think of something really really fast.
“Oh, I’m pretty close with him since we’re like neighbors and uhm he actually was too shy to ask you but did you want to maybe go to the movies with him tonight?” Jongin plays off and Junmyeon briefly stops in the middle of the street to look at him.
Jongin gulps again.
“Jongdae? Are you sure?” Junmyeon asks when they continue to walk, or well when Jongin pulls the latter out of harms way.
“Yeah, chiseled chin, cat smile Jongdae.” Jongin describes.
Junmyeon laughs.
“I don’t really think he’s interested in me, you must have gotten it wrong.” Junmyeon shakes his head as he pats Jongin’s shoulder.
“No! Really! He likes you!” Jongin yells as he tries to catch up with him.
“Even if he maybe did and if he did want to go tonight, I’d have to decline. I can’t let Kyungsoo down.” Junmyeon smiles heartily and Jongin knows he’s been beaten.
He lets the elder walk away from him as another person pops up right next to him.
“Did you just try to tell Junmyeon that I liked him?” a voice whispers by his ear.
He gulps again.
“I didn’t want you to do that.”
He gets pulled away, away from witnesses.
-
“Jongin what happened?!” Kyungsoo runs to the boy when he sees him with a couple of cuts and bruises on his face.
“Oh I tripped and fell.” He says and Kyungsoo wearily raises his eyebrow.
“The truth Jongin.” He says and Jongin sighs.
“Jongdae took me to the locker room and he honestly didn’t do this but we were walking and I tripped on someone’s bag and I tried to avoid it by holding onto one of the locker’s handles but it happened to be an open one so I hit myself with that and then I fell towards the bench and then to the ground.” Jongin tells him really fast and Kyungsoo sighs as he takes out a handkerchief.
“Did you at least go to the nurse’s office?” Kyungsoo asks as he wipes smudges off of the boy’s face.
“Yeah, Jongdae took me. He felt really bad.” Jongin tells him.
“Why did he even take you there?” Kyungsoo licks a part of his handkerchief to moisten it for the thicker smudges on Jongin’s face.
“He wanted to dish out about something.” Jongin sighs.
“Are you going to be okay?” Kyungsoo looks him in the eye and Jongin’s mind sparks.
“Uhm, it would be great if you could walk home with me and my parents are gone so maybe stay with me too?” Jongin puts on his pleading eyes and pouts his mouth slightly.
“Junmyeon was going to my house tonight for our project but seeing you like this wouldn’t be right.” Kyungsoo tells him and Jongin internally jumps with joy.
“I’ll text him right now and tell him to just meet up tomorrow.” Kyungsoo takes out his phone and Jongin tries to hold in his glee.
“Thanks.” Jongin softly says and Kyungsoo turns to him and smiles.
He kisses his cheeks lightly and Jongin feels his face tingle from the warm touch.
“I have been neglecting you.” Kyungsoo winks at him and Jongin’s face literally lights up.
“Get a room you two!” Sehun shouts and Luhan ducks into his shoulder to hide his laughter.
“Look who’s talking!” Jongin yells back and Kyungsoo laughs.
“Oh, Junmyeon said no worries, said he’ll maybe go out tonight instead.” Kyungsoo reads from his phone.
Just then Jongin feels his phone vibrate.
‘That beating sure helped, no?’, he reads the text and as he looks up he sees Jongdae wink at him as he walks side by side with Junmyeon.
‘Man you work fast’, Jongin replies back.
“Who are you texting?” Kyungsoo asks, peering to try and see but Jongin moves his phone away.
“Jealous?” Jongin smirks.

“Baekhyun told me, and then Luhan confirmed it. Oh yeah, so Luhan and I have a date today so I can’t hang with you so you better make this work!” Sehun pushes him towards Junmyeon and starts to head for the other direction.
“Oh sorry.” Jongin bows lightly but Junmyeon only smiles.
“Don’t worry about it.” Junmyeon tells him.
“Uhm so, how’s the project going… uh with Kyungsoo?” Jongin softly asks.
“It’s going well, we’re halfway done so I’m going over his house today again.” Junmyeon smiles as he talks.
“Jongdae is in one of your classes right?” Jongin asks just as the light turns green.
They walk side by side as they cross the street.
“Jongdae… ah yeah, he’s in my history and math class. Why?” Junmyeon responds and Jongin gulps and tries to think of something really really fast.
“Oh, I’m pretty close with him since we’re like neighbors and uhm he actually was too shy to ask you but did you want to maybe go to the movies with him tonight?” Jongin plays off and Junmyeon briefly stops in the middle of the street to look at him.
Jongin gulps again.
“Jongdae? Are you sure?” Junmyeon asks when they continue to walk, or well when Jongin pulls the latter out of harms way.
“Yeah, chiseled chin, cat smile Jongdae.” Jongin describes.
Junmyeon laughs.
“I don’t really think he’s interested in me, you must have gotten it wrong.” Junmyeon shakes his head as he pats Jongin’s shoulder.
“No! Really! He likes you!” Jongin yells as he tries to catch up with him.
“Even if he maybe did and if he did want to go tonight, I’d have to decline. I can’t let Kyungsoo down.” Junmyeon smiles heartily and Jongin knows he’s been beaten.
He lets the elder walk away from him as another person pops up right next to him.
“Did you just try to tell Junmyeon that I liked him?” a voice whispers by his ear.
He gulps again.
“I didn’t want you to do that.”
He gets pulled away, away from witnesses.

“Jongin what happened?!” Kyungsoo runs to the boy when he sees him with a couple of cuts and bruises on his face.
“Oh I tripped and fell.” He says and Kyungsoo wearily raises his eyebrow.
“The truth Jongin.” He says and Jongin sighs.
“Jongdae took me to the locker room and he honestly didn’t do this but we were walking and I tripped on someone’s bag and I tried to avoid it by holding onto one of the locker’s handles but it happened to be an open one so I hit myself with that and then I fell towards the bench and then to the ground.” Jongin tells him really fast and Kyungsoo sighs as he takes out a handkerchief.
“Did you at least go to the nurse’s office?” Kyungsoo asks as he wipes smudges off of the boy’s face.
“Yeah, Jongdae took me. He felt really bad.” Jongin tells him.
“Why did he even take you there?” Kyungsoo licks a part of his handkerchief to moisten it for the thicker smudges on Jongin’s face.
“He wanted to dish out about something.” Jongin sighs.
“Are you going to be okay?” Kyungsoo looks him in the eye and Jongin’s mind sparks.
“Uhm, it would be great if you could walk home with me and my parents are gone so maybe stay with me too?” Jongin puts on his pleading eyes and pouts his mouth slightly.
“Junmyeon was going to my house tonight for our project but seeing you like this wouldn’t be right.” Kyungsoo tells him and Jongin internally jumps with joy.
“I’ll text him right now and tell him to just meet up tomorrow.” Kyungsoo takes out his phone and Jongin tries to hold in his glee.
“Thanks.” Jongin softly says and Kyungsoo turns to him and smiles.
He kisses his cheeks lightly and Jongin feels his face tingle from the warm touch.
“I have been neglecting you.” Kyungsoo winks at him and Jongin’s face literally lights up.
“Get a room you two!” Sehun shouts and Luhan ducks into his shoulder to hide his laughter.
“Look who’s talking!” Jongin yells back and Kyungsoo laughs.
“Oh, Junmyeon said no worries, said he’ll maybe go out tonight instead.” Kyungsoo reads from his phone.
Just then Jongin feels his phone vibrate.
‘That beating sure helped, no?’, he reads the text and as he looks up he sees Jongdae wink at him as he walks side by side with Junmyeon.
‘Man you work fast’, Jongin replies back.
“Who are you texting?” Kyungsoo asks, peering to try and see but Jongin moves his phone away.
“Jealous?” Jongin smirks.
