Work Text:
Taking his eyes from the gorgeous woman sitting at the top of his desk, folders that contained a lot of requests from the various clubs messily scratched beside her, as if she did not mind but Jaehyuk certainly did.
Jihoon arched a brow and offered one of his significant smirks. “Can I help you with anything?”
The blonde boy patted at the sitting girl’s thigh, silently signalizing her to get off, subsequently making her huff in annoyance and disappear behind the door of the council room.
„I’ve made your paperwork, Ms. President” The blonde clicked his tongue at the press on the last word from the mouth of Jaehyuk. He moved to survey the rest of the members before tilting his head towards the younger vice-president again.
„Thank you Jaehyukie, you can go back to doing… whatever you were doing earlier” the other boy bit his lip to suppress a groan at his friend’s attitude.
„I'm actually concerned about something” Jihoon merely tilted his head, curious about what it is about „You are always with women…” From the back of Jaehyuk’s head, The student council president noticed that others present in the room were stuck in their place and silently listening to their conversation as if it was the most interesting thing to know. „Why won’t you date any of them?”
„Huh?” For the mere second, Jaehyuk could swear that the other boy look offended
„We mean-„ suddenly a voice beamed behind a black-haired boy making him jump in the process „We want the best for you Hyung!” Junghwan as the youngest and accordingly also the sweetest kid among them exclaimed loudly.
„Yeah, and we don’t want you to bring someone here constantly and disturb us at doing our work” Asahi also decided to join their conversation from the giant table across the room
„And maybe actually do your work…” Jaehyuk muttered under before his eyes landed on the person behind the desk again and to his surprise, Jihoon dared to pout cutely at their accusations.
„But smurfie would beat the shit out of me if I’d date someone….” Jihoon replied nonchalantly more like to himself but Jaehyuk’s attentive ear caught it anyways
„Smurfie? What’s that? An animal?” Jihoon sheepishly grinned to the other before replying, back with his usual overflowing confidence
„Something like that”
Anong the next few weeks nothing ordinary actually happened. If Jaehyuk or any other council member noticed that Jihoon gradually stopped bringing girls to their room, hasn’t said anything.
But aside from this, everything was normal.
Until
„What’s that under your jaw? Have you been bitten?”
Okay, it’s not like Jaehyuk was too innocent to conclude what actually has been placed on the right column of his classmate's throat. His mind just couldn’t process presumably the fact that Jihoon who never dates with anyone, opting to stick with occasional flirt cause it's fun has a freaking hickey on his damn neck.
As if taken out of the trans, the blonde boy stops in mid-sentence by telling some vivacious story about his recent discovers at one of the clubs. As if on an instant, a hand clasped around purplish mark before sigh left his mouth.
„Smurfie is possessive lately”
Replied as if it was the most obvious answer.
As if Jaehyuk had a clue of what the other has been talking about.
„That pet of yours?” Jihoon widened his eyes a little, looking at him with surprise written all over his face for a mere of seconds before speaking with a hint of unsureness in his voice.
“Yeah… Him” a sudden shriek from Junkyu made him look at the latter, but his eyes were set only at the Jihoon who smiled a little too wide for his usual self.
“Kinky bastard” Jihoon laughed heartedly at Junkyu’s comment and Jaehyuk had honestly no clue of what they were laughing about.
The duo had honestly pretty similar characters- both of them definitely didn’t do their job as student council members but unlike Jihoon, Junkyu at least has someone who still motivates him to do it. Through motivation I mean, he hovers over him until he finishes all work and the same applies when it comes to his homework.
Yeah, Haruto is amazing.
The only one who can rock Junkyu’s world like that.
But Jihoon?
No, he’s all alone.
Without ‘special someone who can make him do all his work.
So who’s doing it for him?
Of course Jaehyuk.
Poor Jaehyuk.
But back to the duo- He thinks that they’re inseparable actually. He sometimes thinks about how Haruto bears with Jihoon’s nonstop teasing when they’re together as a trio.
And they’re all the time.
Jihoon and Junkyu knew each other even when they were toddlers, so A blonde boy likes to refer to them as soulmates. It actually used to bothers Haruto at the beginning of their relationship, but then he saw that there is no harm to his relationship.
Since as Jaehyuk thinks, Jihoon is just a bastard, who doesn’t have romantic feelings for anyone. He’s only going around flirting shamelessly with girls from school- but he never goes beyond talking. Hell, he’s not sure whether that blonde shit has ever held a hand with someone before.
Aside from his soulmate of course, because there’s always an exception for people like that.
So yeah, they are soulmates, inseparable duo, so what a surprise did he have when his eyes landed on a Junkyu with no Jihoon at his side by the school gate. Instead of him, he saw a much smaller boy, with hair in the color of the sea, laughing loudly at something Junkyu has said.
Okay weird
Who is that guy?
„-Jaehyukie!” Speak of the devil.
Putting on the best smile as if he hadn’t thought about this guy for the last 10 minutes summing up his all relationships, he took a few ware steps towards the pair.
„-As I was saying, that’s Jaehyukie! Our school vice-president” the said man scratched his neck at the formal title even if he shouldn’t feel ashamed at all. He’s doing an excellent job after all. The blue-haired boy tilted his head to the side before squinting his eyes in the motion as if he was trying to remind himself about something.
„And that’s Hyunsukkie, he’s a senior in a R.A.L academy” Jaehyuk’s eyes scanned the other from head to toe.
This guy is… older?
And also the sole fact that he’s attending definitely more prestigious school than they were, made him tighten his lips to not say anything wrong. The longer he was looking at this guy, the more he was reminding him of those rich boys from the playground when he was younger. Even his heigh was good for it.
„Oh! I know!” Jaehyuk shrieked at the sudden outburst of the smaller man „you’re the one doing all work for this devil’s pawn”
Huh?
„He means Jihoon”
Does he know Jihoon?
„The same thing,” said bitterly rolling his eyes and Junkyu cackled at the tone he was using. Something was telling Jaehyuk that the blue-haired boy was not a fan of their school president. „I feel sorry for you, you look like a good kid though” his cheeks reddened. A kid? This guy is only a year older than him and he’s calling him, a kid,? The fact that he can’t have more than 170cm is not making him any less embarrassed. But somehow the other’s man appearance was not screaming, delicate as if it could seem to at the first sight. He was definitely a person, Jaehyuk could look for, a figure he would definitely adore.
A perfect school president.
And instead of him, he has some slug.
„Oh haha” scratched the back of his neck „yeah, sadly he won’t do it alone so someone has to” he made it as a joke, you know because coming out as a grump is not really the best impression you want to give off.
But Hyunsuk's mood darkened, he certainly didn’t take it as a joke.
He watched as the older murmured something under his nose along with the word ‚bastard’.
He probably made him dislike Jihoon even more.
He felt even a little bad for this. Jihoon is not a bad person, he’s just… lazy. But he’s a good friend, has good grades- sometimes he let Jaheyuk copy his test or both of them spend time during classes because they have ‚important student council things to do’ or as they say to teachers.
He didn’t get to open his mouth to maybe explain it a little, even if he doesn’t know if there’s something worth saying to save the blonde boy when his phone began ringing. Judging by the fact that Junkyu was still cackling beside them as if offending Jihoon was the best thing to hear about, he thought that maybe that wasn’t that serious.
He overthought it for sure.
„Your lover is calling,” Junkyu said with a wiggling his eyebrow, glancing at the caller id.
„Oh yeah, I was supposed to meet up with Sahi like 5 minutes ago..” trailed uncertainly,
„Oh, then you cannot keep your boyfriend waiting!” Just like the bluish-haired boy wasn’t in the sour mood a fee moment ago, his face became bright as the sun
He swore that he heard a small „unlike certain someone” but he didn’t have time to dwell on this, cause before he even noticed, a hand clasped around his „It was nice meeting you!” Exclaimed loudly and Jaehyuk stunned by the mood changed could only smile a little
Waving at the both of them, he almost run down the street and prayed that Asahi will have mercy on him for being late.
„Is he sick?”
„Maybe we need to check his temperature?”
„Let’s ask Jae, he will surely know”
Murmurs were heard as soon as he opened a door from the council room, instantly eight pairs of eyes looked towards his figure.
„What’s going on?” Asked as soon as he made his way towards the big table in the center. Not hearing any response, he lifted his head from where it was hanging low, looking for his notebook, to the youngest but instead of saying, he noticed that the latter was rather pointing at the person behind him.
At Jihoon.
Who on the other hand, instead of acknowledging his presence, or any other, was hunched on his desk, messily writing something on one of the papers. His eyes drifted towards the pile beside him, and then it dawned on him.
Jihoon was doing his work.
Jaehyuk blinked once.
Twice.
It was unbelievable.
„We thought that maybe you know what happened to him” a hushed voice of Yedam made him take his eyes off their president.
„I have no clue…” whispered before stomping a few steps towards the desk and leaning forward a still hunched boy. „Jihoon are you…. Are you okay?” Instinctively, he grabbed a pot of Arbutus to change its place, seeing that Jihoon mess can lead to breaking that dear for the blonde plant.
Startled by his sudden presence, Jaehyuk could swear that Jihoon flinched, and turned his head towards him, a soft smile gracing his lips, but the bags under his eyes were pretty visible and Jaehyuk honestly began wondering how long has the blonde been working.
„Oh Hi Jae, Yeah I’m perfectly fine” uttered the other happily before going back to the papers. From what Jaehyuk could see, the latter was writing down organization papers regarding sports day. It’s the job, which Jaehyuk is usually doing every year, so why Jihoon—
„But hyung! You never work, that’s the thing!” Exclaimed a little too loud Junghwan who, like the others, was secretly eavesdropping
„Wah! Jughwannie you’re hurting me!” The eldest grabbed at his chest, where his heart should be, and closed his eyes making a hurtful expression. Junghwan frowned at the poor acting skills at his hyung, so when Jihoon opened his eyes and saw the other unimpressed, he messily laid down on all of his papers and sighed tearfully.
„Smurfie won’t talk to me unless I fulfill my president obligation” grumbled glaring at the stocks of papers just beside his nose.
But it wasn’t thing bugging him- it was the fact that ‘smurfie’, which confirmed by Jihoon himself is a pet, can talk? Widening his eyes, Jaehyuk raised his eyebrows comically before speaking unsure
“Is… is smurfie a parrot?” The way Jihoon’s head suddenly shot forward would be funny only if Jaehyuk wouldn’t be so concerned about the latter’s pet.
“What—?” Began slowly before stopping in the mid-sentence, catching himself by chin as if he thought of a brilliant idea “I mean— you could say that…?”
How on earth is this an answer? It is a ‘yes’ or ‘no’
“I mean” he began again when he saw a certain confusion on Jaehyuk’s face, but when he tilted his head, he saw Junghwan looking even more scandalous than him. “More like a… puppy?”
“What the fu-“
“JIHOON” suddenly the door from the room has been opened wide open and a grinning face of Junkyu peaked through them. He seemed like he had fun just before he came here, but one look on the president’s face and he knew that the other is not happy at all Junkyu is gonna say “Mr. Kim wants to see you” the blonde’s eyes widened at the statement “he said something about… crashed window—“
“I’m leaving, don’t search for me” Jaehyuk didn’t even get to turn around, only seeing a piece of the bag before he disappeared behind the door. His eyes zeroed on the paper on the desk.
And here he was, left with all those papers.
Again.
And having no clue about what Jihoon was talking about. But there was also that one person attached to Jihoon through all these years, who surely would know.
“Hey Junkyu—“ and he’s gone
“What you wanted to ask him? I will just text” a low voice echoed through the room. Haruto who seemingly wasn’t interested in any of what was happening here for the last 15 minutes, suddenly got up from his seat where he was probably napping as soon as he heard the voice of his boyfriend.
„Oh, It’s not important” Jaehyuk smiled gratefully because he wasn’t that close with the other boy. He didn’t want to bother him so much with something like this, it’s not a big deal.
It wasn’t.
But when he saw the look Are you kidding me Haruto was giving him, he decided to just give up
„What is ‚smurfie?’”
At that, the black-haired boy cackled loudly to the point where all of the attendants of the room looked at him weirdly.
Including Jaehyuk.
Shedding tears from laughter, the tall man finally decided to straight himself up and look at Jaehyuk properly.
„I don’t know what’s funny” glared Jaehyuk, because honestly, he didn’t know why it was so hilarious for Haruto that he asked the question bugging him
„Because you ask the wrong question”
Huh?
„That’s Sukkie, Jihoon’s boyfriend”
At the answer suddenly everyone stopped in their tracks because what on earth?
Poor Jeongwoo even managed to choke on his food hearing that
Park Jihoon has a boyfriend?
Haruto could sense how big fuss he caused by seeing Jaehyuk with his mouth still agape from those big news, he decided to say a little more information. He tilted his head once, twice to the side
„I mean— I’ m pretty sure that he knew that’s everyone knows it, they were together for like… 2 years already?”
„Poor soul, having to put up with this blonde bastard” someone in the back voiced out their opinion, probably Mashiho. It’s not like they didn’t like Jihoon, hell everyone were liking him, some people even a little too much. They just know how is he, including Jaehyuk.
So aside from the shocking fact that Jihoon from all the people likes also men, then turns out that he was dating one all this time!
But back to the topic- as much as he likes Jihoon, the latter definitely is like a magnet for women and even if Jaehyuk now can clearly see why Jihoon’s flirtatious and bright personality is not making any further steps to date them (now, it is pretty obvious why he has never touched them or proposed any future meeting) he’s not sure whether his boyfriend knows about it.
„O hey, Jihoo- yah!” When Jaehyuk has felt a hand on his mouth and weight pressing him down behind a car, he knew that it’s not going to be a good day. He was supposed to have a peacefully Friday, to take a break from all this shit going on at school, but no- universe said otherwise. He glanced at the said man beside him, but his eyes were set somewhere else, somewhere far away from them. He glanced back
Oh it’s Hyunsuk
And some guy
“What are you doing?” Seeing that he hasn’t been discovered yet, Jihoon unclasped his hand from Jaehyuk’s mouth, but his eyes were still set on the talking men. He seemed nothing like for the past few days- bright, hardworking Jihoon- now looked almost like he was irritated- brows furrowed, jaw clenched, and this brutal way of taking him down with himself.
“I’m— gathering information,” said after a while as if he was coming with the best scenario to deliver. It’s not like it was pretty obvious what did he do, not at all.
“No, you’re spying on those two” raising his eyebrow Jaehyuk tightened his lips looking at the latter expectedly, but he didn’t budge.
“Don’t be ridiculous” said slowly but his eyes were still set on one person.
And for the first time, Jaehyuj could swear that he saw Jihoon genuinely interested in anyone.
It would be even cute, whether it would be Hyunsuk or the other guy, even if he could swear that Hyunsuk surely has some dislike towards Jihoon.
But Jihoon has a boyfriend for god’s sake.
“That’s it I’m leaving” Just as he was standing a hand clasped around his and with a loud shriek, he fell to the ground.
“What the fuck are you doing, are you crazy?!” Exclaimed through the whisper-scream to the blonde who on the other hand looked furious.
“What are YOU doing?! You want to get me in trouble?!”
„You— agh, let me godammit!” After another few rounds of battle against Jihoon, he managed to release himself and with a winning smirk took a few steps forward.
„Oh, Jaehyukie! Hey!” He thought about how Jihoon has to grit his teeth in a wave of anger right now. Trying to at least walk a little confidently, because, in reality, he had no intention of breaking their conversation, he greeted Hyunsuk and made a hand gesture to the other boy.
„Hello I’m Yoshi” his voice is delicate
After the longest ten minutes in his life, don’t get him wrong, he would love to chat with them longer but he only came to cut Jihoon down to size. He learned a few things though- both of them attend the same prestigious school and there is no chance that they are boyfriends. The way they talk is just not flirting, it is more like a conversation between someone like him and Jihoon.
So yeah, definitely no flirting.
So when he decided that it’s enough, and leave them alone again, they insisted to walk him off- thank god, at least Jihoon will strangle him on Monday instead of today.
“Hey Jaehyukie, would you maybe give me your number?” Suddenly his cheeks flared
Oh my god
Oh no no
I have Asahi
How to turn someone’s down? God
“I mean” probably sensing that Jaehyuk had different thoughts in mind than him, the blue-haired decided to speak up “Sometimes I need to check up on guys, you know Junkyu” he swear that heard a low murmur of his president name but didn’t question it more “ for the emergency and stuff…” ended unsurely and for the first time from the moment he met the smaller boy, he saw the other so unconfident in his words.
“Yeah sure” the speed at which Hyunsuk’s head has shot up was almost comical, and in no time they exchanged phone numbers
Now, he had to be sure to not meet Jihoon for the rest of his life.
A hand slammed down on his desk, making Jaehyuk write instead of his dear homework, a big zigzag in the center of his notebook. He made a strategy on how to avoid the blonde male, but as you can see, no one can hide when the devil itself is after you.
“My fave traitor” gritted through clenched teeth, from when he was hovering over Jaehyuk’s desk. Even if the smile was visible on Jihoon’s lips, he knew better- he’s probably still mad as fuck. “Didn’t you forget about something?”
Like on an instant, Jaehyuk’s face became white like a wall, million thoughts on his mind and one question
“What could he forget of? It’s usually him who needs to remind Jihoon about things to do, so honestly? He had no clue
“I—“ Smiling even more graciously, the taller straightened himself back, before bending down and pulling…. A small stock of papers?
“You had one job” His eyes zeroed on the title when the blonde basically shoved them onto his desk, perfectly covering all his notebooks and
Oh
List of participants from each class for the Sport’s day
Okay, maybe he forgot
And maybe, just maybe, Jihoon texted him yesterday to remind him to do it, but he decided to ignore it because he thought that the latter is angry at him.
“Already did it, don’t worry” Okay, now he felt like an ass. Even if Jihoon pulled something like that on him more than ten times, but that’s Jihoon. And he basically offered his help, when he saw that blonde male is making it all by himself for the supposed special day.
The standing boy must’ve noticed flinch in Jaehyuk’s posture when he only let out a small sigh, because not going into further discussion, he gathered all these papers once again and turned towards the door
“Come on the next period to the council room, I need your opinion on a few things additionally” He lifted his gaze to Jihoon, eyes full of hope “You would have known if you responded to any of my text messages” and then he left the room, probably content with himself because he scared Jaehyuk for life.
And oh shit, his homework.
And days were passing, Jihoon as he has learned wasn’t even mad at him, so going back to his old habits, he was trying to make everything perfect for today.
“Oh Jihoon has already done it”
“Yeah, that was done yesterday evening”
“Oh about it... Jihoon said to not burden you with this shit, it also is done already”
What the actual fuck
You know this feeling when you’re trying to not be a dead weight but you actually are?
Or just someone else is trying to make you feel like that?
That someone is Jihoon
Who apparently took all the tasks in his hands and organized all sport’s festival on his own.
Maybe he thought that after this one failure he can’t count on Jaehyuk?
Bullshit
“Jihoon’s boyfriend was supposed to be here today, so I guess, he wants to show off a little” Said Yedam picking up the papers thew around the bin. People are unbelievable
“Oh”
“Yeah ‘Oh’ taking the last paper straw, they made their way towards council room. A few of the members have signed for a couple of competitions but most of them decided to just check constantly if everything is alright and make this day happen without any disturbance.
Walking along with Yedam, Jaehyuk suddenly heard the sound of a new message. After texting quite often for the past few weeks, the black-haired male wasn’t even surprised to see that it was from the certain Choi Hyunsuk, who as he assumed asked him how is he.
Smile creeping onto his lips, he typed a quick reply, before opening the door for Yedam to come first. Don’t get him wrong- it’s not like Jaehyuk has a crush on the older boy, he has Asahi for god sake, but Hyunsuk's friendly appearance is making him just so irresistible when it comes to talking. He’s so easygoing- he advised him even once what to buy Asahi as a present for their anniversary, which was like 2 days ago!
So yeah, maybe it wasn’t like the elder planned- he does not ‘check up on guys’ as he said when asking for Jaehyuk’s number but he’s a great friend after all.
But he sometimes really check up on them
Like right now for example
“What’s Jihoon doing?”
Honestly, he thought that he hated Jihoon’s guts, so it is not understandable for him that he still wants to know what the blonde male is doing. He glanced at the desk.
Everyone is sitting in their respective chairs talking to each other and then there’s Jihoon, who on the other hand looks like he would pass out in any second, bags visible under his eyes, probably took a little too much work for himself.
But it doesn’t stop him from sitting with some random girl.
Or rather he didn’t reject her, because it seems that she’s vividly saying something to him and he just sits, boredom visible on his face, looking at the wall in front of him, fingers tracing absentmindedly patterns on his dear flower’s pot.
“Hanging out with some girl lol” typed quickly back, before putting a device back onto his pants.
“Jihoonie hyung’s boyfriend is not coming” Junghwan’s voice was being heard just behind him and his mind stopped for a second.
Oh yeah, we were supposed to meet him today
That’s why he’s so gloomy?
Or maybe just tired?
Sensing the lack of the said boy’s soulmate, Jaehyuk decided to maybe step by himself and make the other’s day a little more satisfying.
What are friends for after all?
Easier said than done.
Because Park Jihoon is seemingly the most depressing asshole he has ever seen when he’s in a bad mood. And the presence of the girl, sitting as if she belongs on his desk was not helping at all.
At first, she was trying to ignore his presence and was still trying to get Jihoon to talk to her.
The latter didn’t even flinch, but it’s not like she cared.
She was just nonstop talking.
And there was Jaehyuk, who politely ask the hunched male whether he wanted to eat some chips from him and he did what? He straight ignored this sitting piece of annoyance on his desk, smiled at Jaehyuk, and took it.
And he even said ‘thank you’
Okay, soft Jihoon could be even cute but—
A door has been suddenly slammed wide open and heavily breathing Junkyu came through them with Hauto in tow. Not saying even a ‘hi’, he came straight onto Jihoon before bending and whispering to him something in his ear.
And Jihoon’s face? Jaehyuk has never seen that quick change- his eyes immediately wide open and a lazy smile spreading across his face in no time.
And Junkyu? He frowned at the girl still heavily seated on the piece of wood, as if he just noticed her presence before saying with a big grimace
“I kindly advise you go somewhere else pretty quickly if you—“
“PARK JIHOON YOU BASTARD” faster than before, Junkyu made a few steps back, as to not get in the way. Everyone’s eyes suddenly lined on the small blue-haired male who just stormed through the room with heavy steps and stopped in front of the still sitting blonde.
The girl as if sensing danger, looked at Junkyu who just raised his eyebrow at her as if challenging whether she want to stay here or not, and apparently she chose the second option.
She left.
But Jaehyuk was more shocked what Hyunsuk was doing here, wasn’t he attending a different school?
“Stop flirting with all these girls, if you’re obviously taken!” Suddenly the older tugged at Jihoon’s tie bringing their faces closer and Jaehyuk honestly was scared for life, angry Hyunsuk is one of the scariest people he has ever seen.
But Jihoon?
Jihoon looked like he had time of his life.
Smile not leaving his face even for a second, not protesting, not fighting back—
“You came, after all, smurfie” the younger almost purred, obviously content with their current situation but wait—
Smurfie?
Wasn’t that—?
“Of course I came! I need to be sure that none poor girl will cry because of your shitty character!”
And Jaehyuk was confused
“But it’s no fun without you here…” ended the blonde with a light pout, which has been replaced by the smirk once again seeing the anger on Hyunsuk’s face grow. His eyes roamed on the room when he noticed an unusual silence “everyone wanted to meet you Sukkie”
The said man suddenly lifted his head as if suddenly sensing that all their attention is on them, his cheeks reddened as he released the other from his grip and Jihoon turned on his swivel chair to face confused Jaehyuk.
“Jaehyukie you wanted to know, who’s my boyfriend, so here he is- smurfie augh!” Hyunsuk’s hand flew across his boyfriend’s head.
“That’s not my name dumbass!” Gritted through his teeth “And I know him though”
“Ah yes, he came to you when you were with that prick”
“You spied on me?!”
“They are always like that” Suddenly a voice belonging to no other than Kim Junkyu whispered next to him when the bickering duo seemed to not care about anyone else.
But one thought was still bugging him.
He just couldn’t process it.
Technically it seemed now as the only reasonable solution.
Hyunsuk and Jihoon are together.
Jihoon calls Hyunsuk ‘smurfie’ because he has blue hair.
Hyunsuk was there with Junkyu because he was waiting for Jihoon.
Jihoon was hiding behind the car because he was jealous of Hyunsuk being with someone else.
Hyunsuk was asking him about Jihoon because he care.
How
How on earth did he not notice?
“Let’s go, next thing you know they will be making out in front of you” Jaehyuk’s ears suddenly reddened at the implication. His eyes wandered towards Jihoon’s hands, which he didn’t even notice when, but now they were resting comfortably- one on the elder’s forearm and the other on his waist.
And he absolutely has never seen Jihoon touch someone so tenderly.
He let himself be pulled by Junkyu and made his way towards the exit, not even trying to look back and it seemed that the other people present in the room thought the same.
“You think that they fit together?” It’s been an hour and Jaehyuk was still puzzled by this new discovery. He was walking aimlessly with Junkyu on the playground, Haruto departed from them cause apparently, he will have ‘Junkyu all to himself later. He was kicking lazily on the stone, still a little taken aback.
He was thinking about it since when they exited the classroom.
Isn’t Jihoon a little too… not made for any kind of romantic relationship? He saw how delicately he touch Hyunsuk, but is that enough?
“You mean Jihoon and Hyunsuk? Yeah, definitely they were made for each other” the other’s voice broke Jaehyuk’s train of thoughts and made him look in his direction. “We met Hyunsuk when we were like… 10? 11? And Jihoon was totally gone for him the moment they touched their hands so…”
“Park Jihoon? Pining after someone? That’s pretty unbelievable huh” Murmured under his breath but Junkyu caught also this
“Yeah, funny isn’t it? They learned to show their affection through constant teasing so it may seem like they argue all the time”
“Hyunsukkie came today because he was jealous about that girl and Jihoon perfectly knew about it, but admitting it aloud would only bring endless teasing from him, that’s why he said it like that”
Again. When Junkyu has explained it to him, it seemed a lot more logical than when he thought about it alone. But aside from this, he just didn’t see any romance in their actions, no chemistry, no-
“Jaehyuk? Oh dear, could bring it to Jihoon? He was supposed to sign it up for me, but I guess that he forgot tsk, this kid…” Jaehyuk widened his eyes before nodding enthusiastically at Mr. Kim's request.
Finally, any task for him to do.
A hand touched his arm before a laugh erupted from the male beside him.
“That’s a mission you need to fulfill by yourself”
Huh? Why would he need Junkyu?
Oh dear, he definitely wasn’t going to do it alone
The door- wide open as it has been left when they were leaving, but there were no sounds of shouting this time. His head peaked a little, preparing himself for the worst scene, but what he saw wasn’t what he was expecting at all.
Jihoon was still fully seated on his chair, but Hyunsuk wasn’t hovering over him, this time he was occupying a place on the younger’s lap, arms wrapped around other’s head, combing his fingers through the blonde hair. Jihoon on the other hand looked like he was… sleeping?
Sure he did look like he was tired but to this point?
His face buried between Hyunsuk’s shoulder and neck, arms loosely wrapped behind smaller’s back, as if making sure that he won’t go anywhere.
The sight was… the most adorable scene he has ever seen and he can't believe he thought that himself.
He saw Jihoon’s head moving a little.
So he’s not sleeping after all.
He murmured something but it was definitely too quiet for Jaehyuk to hear from this distance, however Hyunsuk—
“I love you too” whispered softly back, smiling onto Jihoon’s hair, fingers slowly sliding onto his neck.
And oh poor Jaehyuk.
His eyes instinctively widened and sudden hotness made his way towards his face. No way he’s going there anytime soon.
Retiring a few steps back, he slowly as to not make any noise made his way down the corridor, mind full of thoughts, but this time each of them was making sense to him.
A smile crept onto his lips.
They really were made for each other.
