Chapter Text
When Donghyuck heard his alarm go off he was still thinking about his dream, he dreamt that he was falling through the sky but he was tied with a rope and he didn’t know who was holding it. He got out of bed frustrated not knowing why it affected him so much, he decided to go change for his first day of being a Junior in high school. After he showered and put on his school uniform he looked at himself in the mirror, he dyed his hair red during the break and he was worried a little what his friends might think about the extreme color. He spent the entire vacation traveling with his family so he actually got to miss his friends, school however not so much.
“Lee Donghyuck what is taking you so long? Get down here or else you’re gonna miss the bus!” he heard his mom shout at him, with a sigh he decided he looked presentable and ran downstairs.
The bus ride was short since he lived pretty close to his school and once he got out of the bus he heard someone yell “OMG you’re a red head!!!” he knew who the voice belonged to and he immediately turned around with a smirk to face him “I know I know I look great” his friend laughed and walked over to him to give him a hug “okay… OKAY I get it Jaemin you miss me now get off” Jaemin just laughed and put his arm around his best friend and walked into the school.
“So I was swimming having the best time ever when I feel something touch my leg and I look down and it’s this-“ he stopped talking when he noticed Jaemin not paying attention to his amazing story from the time he went to the beach with his family “umm earth to Jaemin? Hello? Nana what are you staring at?” he turned to look at what has caught his friends attention and his eyes landed on a guy he’s never seen before “who’s that?” he asked but still Jaemin wasn’t listening to him still too focused on the black haired guy with crescent moon-like eyes and strong bone structure, he hated being ignored so he decided to pinch Jaemin’s nose “OUCH!!” Jaemin turned to him with a pout “What was that for??” “That was for you ignoring me! Now you’ll never know what it was that touched my leg” “ew why would I wanna know that?” “nevermind, who is that?” “ I don’t know I think he’s new, I’ve never seen him before” The bell rang so they both decided to get to their classes and talk during lunch break.
Donghyuck’s first class was science, his most hated subject, he walked into the classroom and took the seat in the back and decided to lay low the entire class but then he heard the teacher say “Good morning everyone, we have a new student joining our class, you can introduce yourself” she said while smiling at someone outside the door and Donghyuck already knew who it was before he walked in, the boy came into the classroom with a shy smile and said “ Hi, I’m Lee Jeno and I approve this message” Donghyuck burst out laughing he couldn’t believe this guy, the teacher looked a bit disappointed and told the new kid to take a seat in the back, he sat next to Donghyuck.
Donghyuck pulled out his phone and sent a message to Jaemin
To: NANA
Omg!!!! New kid is in my class and he introduced himself saying “Hi, I’m Lee Jeno and I approve this message” like wtf?? Hahaha
From: NaNa

To:NANA

From: NANA
Shut up! ;)))
“LEE DONGHYUCK ARE YOU ON YOUR PHONE??” he heard his teacher yell and he flinched, she walked over to his desk and held out her hand to him, “ Honestly miss Kim there’s no need for that I’ll just put it away” “Hand it over Donghyuck or you’re getting sent to the office on your first day back!” he handed her his phone but what she said next made his jaw drop, “How about we read what’s so much more important than this class” he mouthed the word no but was too shocked to actually say it, she read out his messages to the entire class and he immediately looked over at Jeno from behind his hands that were covering half his face, but the new kid had a poker face not giving a reaction at all. Donghyuck felt bad for Jaemin so as soon as the bell rang he took his phone from his teacher while giving her a pointed look and ran to Jaemin’s class so fast he didn’t notice Jeno was tailing him.
He found Jaemin sketching in his class waiting for the teacher to come and when he lifted his head to meet Donghyuck’s eyes whatever he saw made him super worried, “Hyuck are you ok?” “Jae I’m so sorry she just took it away from me! I didn’t know what she was gonna do I-“ “ woah slow down I don’t understand what’re you saying?” “My science teacher, she read our texts… to the entire class” Donghyuck waited for Jaemin to reply but the boy just stood their looking behind Donghyuck, “ so you’re NANA?” Donghyuck heard someone say from behind him, and he saw Jaemin gulp before saying “yeah, that’s me” “oh, well you’re cute too NANA” Jeno said and then he smiled showing off his eye smile and walked away. “What just happened?” Donghyuck asked, “I’m not sure, but I’m just glad I came out last year or this would’ve been a horrible way to come out!” “I’m sorry Jae” “what’re you sorry for? the new hot kid just told me I’m cute! I love you Lee Donghyuck, I’m gonna start calling you cupid!” “Oh? Heh please don’t” Donghyuck said with a forced smile, Jaemin just pushed him out of his class with the biggest smile plastered on his face and pushed him to the direction of his next class.
Classes resumed after that until it was lunch break and Donghyuck was starving, he was walking to the cafeteria when he heard some girl scream “WATCH OUT!” and before he knew it he was slipping and he closed his eyes preparing for the painful impact but the only pain he felt was from his arm and felt warmth seep into his back, he opened one of his eyes and he saw someone he didn’t recognize looking down at him, he had light brown hair and the smallest nose he’s ever seen, and big brown eyes, he had this goofy confused expression and his lips made an ‘o’ shape, they stayed there for a couple of seconds not moving just staring at each other as if they were trying to memorize their faces until Donghyuck broke the silence “Uhhh thanks for that, now can you help me up?” “Ah yeah, sure and uh no problem” As he was helping Donghyuck up he tripped over his own feet somehow and stumbled a bit. Soon as Donghyuck was standing again he regarded the other guy by giving him a quick scan from head to toe, he was a little taller than he was and was still staring at Donghyuck’s face, Finally Donghyuck said, “You’re like Spiderman” “what?” “You have spidey reflexes” “Oh, hahaha do you like Spiderman?” the other asked excitedly “no, not really” was all Donghyuck said with a smirk plastered on his face before he turned around and walked away quickly to the cafeteria leaving the other boy chuckle with a half smile on his face watching him walk away.
