Chapter Text
''Also don't forget to ask your teachers about extra projects.''
Changmin nodded halfheartedly and leaned on the car's door to open.
''Your grades are important for your student profile.You know, for unive-''
Changmin nodded for the second time, thinking he's late. ''There's 2 more years till university, daddy.''
''If it's about your future, it's never too late.'' Seriously, his broken Korean accent and talking this fast was making things only worse. Why he has to have this conversation at 9 AM?
''I know, daddy.'' Changmin was finally getting out of the car. ''Wait a minute, Changmin.'' His dad said in a confused voice.
''Did you dye your hair?''
Changmin couldn't come up with anything to lie about he dyed his hair to platinum blonde at 2 AM last night. He intended to fix his beret but it was useless and silly at this point. He tried to come up with an explanation since he knew his dad'd be mad about it. ''I-''
His dad sighed. This French man was looking nowhere near to his son. ''You know, you're still so young for these kind of stuff.''
Changmin put a fake smile on his face and nodded. Huh. That was close. ''I know, daddy.''
He took his backpack and got out of the car finally. He heard his dad still murmuring about the university shit but he acted like he wasn't aware of it. He had bigger concerns to worry about right now.
Just like his love life.
He got his steps faster as he saw his boyfriend was coming towards to his way but it was too late. It was too late. Damn it.
''Hey baby.''
Juyeon stepped next to the shorter one and put one of his arms to his boyfriend's shoulder. Shouldn't have he, like, seen the signs? Chagmin was acting slightly odd on purpose since last night. But it was impossible to keep that attidute next to him. Especially when he's acting like this cute. Everything was quite easier on text, he thought.
Changmin shouldn't have gave up this easily. He cleared his throat to get a more serious voice. ''Why didn't you answer my calls after school yesterday?''
Juyeon giggled. ''Babe, you know. I have soccer practices for the upcoming matches. Also we're going to perform in the hallowen party.''
You know, Changmin. Why was everyone saying this lately? No. No he didn't know. He didn't even have a fucking clue. Why he was acting like everything was okay? This is not how a relationship works!
''Well-''
''Hey Juyeon!'' Could Changmin just breathe? All he wanted to say was one single sentence. This was getting annoying.
Haknyeon waved to Juyeon and gave him a high five as they came closer on the stairs in the enterance of the school. ''What's up?''
Haknyeon kept talking without waiting for Juyeon's reply as he saw someone new in the school. ''Hey, look at this newbie girl!''
''Leave her alone, Hak.'' One of the cheerleader girls next to Haknyeon said that, giggling loudly and trying to act cute on very purpose.

Changmin finally got a chance to be alone after the first class. He runned to bathroom right after and took off his hat in order to fix his hair. He was looking so pretty with that hair. So pretty that he didn't even look like he was feeling really down since yesterday. Was he making it a big deal? Was it normal for a boy to act like that? He took his lipgloss from his backpack and applied it.
He smiled to his own reflection at the mirror. But still, he wasn't having it at all. He closed his eyes before getting out of the bathroom. Okay, he wouldn't let this stupid thing ruin his-
You thought Changmin, you thought. He said that to himself.
''Changie! I was looking for you everywhere.''
Great. Couldn't he live 2 minutes without him? He still didn't catch a single hint. It didn't look like he would anythime soon either.
How would he? Changmin was acting like everything is alright and usual.
''We're going to skip the school with boys today and eat some pizza. Will you come?''
Changmin murmured. ''That'd be fun but..''
Juyeon held his boyfriend's hand and looked down to made their eyes meet. ''But?''
Juyeon's boyfriend rolled his eyes and smacked his lips together. Juyeon knew what did that mean. ''..but I can't do it.''
The taller one put a fake pout on his face and talked with a half jokingly disappointed voice. ''Come on baby, why?''
''My dad wouldn't like it much if he got to know I'm hanging out with boys - romantically.'' Changmin puffed his cheeks. That made Juyeon smile. All he thought was how cute and pretty his boyfriend is looking, and nothing else.
''And I have to study and practice some violin. Also if he knew that I skipped school, he wouldn't even let me take a single step outside.''
Juyeon smirked like those bad guys in movies. ''No. You don't need to worry about that. Mr. Kang won't even notice it whatsoever.''
That got Changmin confused. He looked up to got the eye contact again. ''How come?''
The taller one shrugged his shoulders. ''I said we're going to perform at the halloween party at the morning, right?''
Changmin nodded with his frowned expression. ''Yeah?''
''Hakyeon said we're going to practice to him.''
''How? Didn't him removed the music class to make the sports hall bigger last month?''
Juyeon stuck his tongue and laughed. ''Right. And that's exactly how.''
Changmin laughed a little with him too and fixed his backpack hung on only one of his shoulders - which was about to fall.
Juyeon grabbed his boyfriend's chin and made him look at him. ''So? What do you say?''
''Come on babe, you know I play it better when you're here with me.''
No, you just want someone to give you full attention and support and desperetely stick around with you so you look someone desirable, Changmin thought. But he still needed to teach his mind to take control over his heart because he said,
''Okay. I'm in.''
Juyeon put a big smile on his face and kissed his boyfriend's both cheeks in the middle of the empty school aisle. ''I love you Changie.''
"Yeah, me too." Changmin said that in a voice that's close to a whisper.
If it wasn't a big deal, why did it make Changmin act this way?
-
''Ji Changmin, skipping school, huh?''
Lee Juyeon, you-
''One of our most succesful students for 2 years in a row and what not.''
Changmin was about to cry while thinking how he was going to explain this to his parents. He bit his lips and moved in that uncomfortable chair in the room of school principal. ''Mr. Kang, I can expl-''
''Also your dad is one of the biggest donatees for our school.'' Yeah, just for Changmin to have a good 'reputation' among teachers.
''I am sorry Mr. Kang, I really am. Please don't let my dad know, he'll be so mad. Please.''
''That's why I won't call your father.'' The old man said that along writing something on a small paper. Words couldn't explain how hatted this man was for Changmin.
He took a deep breath as he heard that and stoop up immediately. ''Thank you Mr. Kang!''
''Wait over there.'' Changmin stopped before opening the door and looked that piece of shit's face to see what's he going to say.
''Take this, young man.'' The blond boy took the small piece of paper and rolled his eyes in the second he read it:
Detention.
-
''So, what did he say?'' Juyeon waited for his boyfriend to get out of that room. He moved on the blue couch - that was actually here for the teachers to use - so that he could make place for Changmin to sit.
He sat next to his boyfriend and showed the paper while rolling his eyes. ''I got detention.''
He leant back on the couch. ''At least we'll be together.''
Changmin raised up his voice a bit when he saw Juyeon's expression changed, not in a good way. ''Won't we?''
Juyeon nodded his head to sides. ''I kinda pulled through over it.''
The taller one looked at the ground and smiled. But exact oppositely, Changmin frowned. ''But why?''
''I'm in the team. We have to practice after all, right? I can't miss it out, I'm the captain.''
Changmin was already so done with it.
Juyeon pulled him closer and made his boyfriend's head lean on his shoulder with that. ''What will you say to your dad?''
''I don't know. 'We have a group project' or something like that?''
Juyeon giggled and let him go to stand up. At this point, Changmin thought he was just a doll to him or something. Was it always like this way or is it new? Maybe he acts like this on purpose, and he knows what's actually going on with Changmin? Was he making this too complicated? But that just.. wasn't it, no matter why is it. Changmin had enough.
''I have to go now baby. See you after detention in our place?''
Changmin leaned back on the couch and threw his arms to the sides dramatically.
Yeah.
Great.
Perfect.
Absolutely.
