jisung grabbed hold of the sheets of his bed, clutching it very tight as he muffled out hos groan when jaemin kept on pulling him by his feet.

❝get up!❞ jaemin clicked his tongue and climbed over the bed, taking jisung's right leg and pulling him harshly. ❝you need to attend classes!❞

❝i don't want to!❞

❝it's been four days, you lazy ass.❞ jaemin paused to catch air and slapped the younger's peaches. ❝you need to move!❞

❝my bed doesn't want to break up with me.❞ jisung took the nearest pillow next to him and hugged it very tight, trying his best to drift back to sleep.

❝you shit, how can you be able to make a move on chenle when you can't even rip yourself off from your bed?❞ jaemin then went back again in pulling jisung who glued his body to his beloved bed.

❝i'm still not ready to meet him.❞ jisung softly said, he was honestly scared and nervous to see him.

jaemin sighed, laying down next to jisung and faced him. he then showed the younger male a small smile as he brushed the hair off that's covering his eyes. ❝hey, i'm always here by your side.❞

jisung opened his eyes and could feel himself calming down as he saw his cousin's soft gaze on him. just when he thought the two of them are having a peaceful moment of wasting time, jaemin engulfed the younger male into a tight hug and was that strong to pull him up from the bed. jisung couldn't do anything but whine at jaemin that's now carrying him like a baby.

❝now let's get your ass cleaned.❞ jaemin scrunched his nose as he took the time to sniff jisung who's having his head buried on his shoulder. ❝you stink.❞

❝as if you smell any better.❞

❝excuse you, i just came out from the bathroom.❞ jaemin said and twisted the door knob to the bathroom located inside jisung's room. ❝and i must say, i smell like you.❞

❝your fault for staying here with me for the past days.❞ jisung placed both his feet down the ground and took the towel from jaemin's hands. ❝what did your parents say about this?❞

❝she knows.❞

jisung then widened his eyes. ❝what!?❞

❝she knows that their beloved park jisung is sick and needed the all loving na jaemin to take care of him.❞ jaemin said dramatically with all those hand motions as if he was a damsel that's going through hard work.

jisung was this near to wrapping the towel around jaemin's neck and choke him to death. but he needed to calm down and stay on the bright side, jaemin is just lifting his mood up. ❝so, are you just going to stand there and watch me take a bath?❞

wiggling his brows, jaemin leaned his body to the door frame to prevent jisung from closing the door and crossed his arm as he licked his lower lip to tease jisung. ❝why not? i have seen your naked body countless of times and honestly speaking? you own a small one.❞

❝oh really?❞ jisung placed the towel around his shoulder while he too crossed his arms. ❝bet chenle will strongly object to that.❞

the older male furrowed his brows and pushed the laughing jisung playfully. jaemin knew it was just a joke but jisung shouldn't have said that. ❝that's disgusting my broski.❞

❝don't you want to find out about renjun's and jeno's sizes?❞ jisung snorted, now removing his shirt and throe it to jaemin who failed to dodge as he was busy having unholy thoughts just because of that on question. the stinky shirt then landed flat on jaemin's face and you can see how disgusted the boy was.

❝be ashamed that you are ruining my innocent conscience.❞

pulling his pajamas down, jisung had his mouth wide open at what jaemin just said. ❝so shocking that your innocent conscience own gay magazines hidden under your bed.❞

❝shut up and take a bath.❞ jaemin grumbled as he successfully caught jisung pajamas before it lands on his face, now jaemin would possibly faint if that happens.

jisung, who's standing in his glory with only his boxers on, chuckled at his cousin and pushed him slightly so he could close the bathroom door. but of course, he didn't do that without teasing his cousin for the last time. ❝i have seen jeno's when he was changing for dance class and it's slightly larger than yours. you're welcome for the useful information.❞

jaemin gasped and hit the door a little bit to hard with his knuckles. ❝jisung park!❞

waking up in the morning, actually no. chenle was deep asleep and really had no plans of waking up in the morning. he can and he had plans of skipping classes for the day. he knew it'll be just the same with all the bullying, boring lessons, and tiring practices for the ball coming up weeks from now.

after sliding his phone up to switch the annoying alarm off, chenle was planning to go back to sleep but his loud ringtone made him jolt up from his bed. groaning, chenle held his head and took his phone to curse at who is calling him at a very good morning.

answering the call after a few seconds, chenle placed his phone on his ear. ❝i'm sorry but zhong chenle is not available. now will full respect, give me a peaceful sleep.❞

"get your ass down here, sleepy dolphin." the person from the other line said with a chuckle.

chenle's eyes then widened and hopped out from his bed, his large pajamas making him look like a baby. ❝ge!? how'd you know where i live?❞

"i have my ways."

coming down from his bedroom, chenle silently cursed in chinese when he almost slipped down from the stairs. the person from the other line clearly heard it and couldn't help but laugh at how panic chenle sounded. chenle then ended the call the moment he ha grabbed hold of the door knob and opening it just to be greeted a smiling boy.

❝did you forget about classes?❞ the male said with his brows furrowed at chenle still wearing his matching rainbow pajamas.

❝i was planning on skipping it.❞ chenle groaned and made way for the person to get inside. ❝what are you doing here dejun ge?❞

xiaojun and chenle got forgive each other within the days of being awkward with each other. they keep on bumping since xiaojun is mostly alone with yangyang hanging out with hendery more these past days and chenle just can't keep to be with his protective friends all the time since he knows that they have their own life to worry for. in the end, they decided to clear things up until they are now friends.

no, xiaojun still hasn't gotten over yangyang and yes, he's such a coward to go over him and ask for forgiveness. chenle is actually helping him right now and while doing that, xiaojun is trying to fix his problem he caused. he would find a way to delete the video he had sent to everyone in school and so far he had done one fourth of it for the past two days of being friends with chenle.

❝i can always scare them off if that's the reason why you don't want to go to school.❞ xiaojun said, making himself comfortable down the younger's sofa.

❝renjun ge and donghyuck hyung are also there to threaten them.❞ while jeno and mark are always physically ready to fight anyone that will hurt chenle, which is why renjun and donghyuck suggest them to stay back since they didn't want any bloodbath happening in school.

❝i'm once again sorry for this.❞ with guilty visible in his tone, xiaojun looked down and played with his hands.

❝you make it sound like i didn't do anything wrong.❞ chenle chuckled. ❝it's okay ge, i deserve this.❞

scanning the unfamiliar living room, xiaojun's eyes then stopped at chenle. ❝by the way, it's been a while since i last saw jisung.❞

yeah, even is starting to miss him— no, chenle shook his head at the thought. he shouldn't miss jisung.

xiaojun was both happy and worried. happy because he could already guess that if jisung would be around, he'd be dead right now. jisung will not hesitate to punch him so hard, unlike renjun and donghyuck. but xiaojun was also worried because of that one time when he kissed chenle. jisung looked so betrayed and of course, xiaojun felt guilty just now.

he knew something happened to the two but he also knows that chenle isn't ready yet to open up to him.

just like right now, chenle ignored the question. ❝i'll be taking a bath first ge. make yourself at home.❞

and since xiaojun didn't like the frown on chenle's face which he caused for bringing up jisung's name, he tried to turn the mood up a little bit. ❝hurry up or we'll get late you sleepy dolphin.❞

coming out of the house first, jaemin breathed the fresh air and never had ever felt of missing it until now. when jisung was absent in these past few days, he too was excused for taking care of him. he was just so excited to meet his lovers who clearly missed him judging from those countless of calls and comforting messages.

but the smile on his face was then replaced with a sad frown when he saw two familiar figures coming out from the neighboring house. and at the same time, his cousin also just got out of the house.

❝looks like it's going to rain.❞ jisung mumbled, staring up to the cloudy sky first thing as he got out from his house. ❝should i bring an umbrella with me?❞

turning around in a flash, jaemin grabbed hold of jisung's face and made the younger look at him straight to the eyes. ❝yes, you should go back inside the house and grab an umbrella.❞

jisung furrowed his brows at how jaemin was acting. ❝why are you like this?❞

jaemin gasped when jisung raised his eyes up from him to see what caused jaemin to be like this. the older panicked and shouted his name all so suddenly. ❝jisung!❞

the younger male flinched from his place and glanced down at jaemin. ❝what's wrong with you?❞

❝can't you see that it's about to rain?❞ jaemin said, more like shouting. ❝i'm not letting you borrow my umbrella so you should go and get your own.❞

❝okay, i will.❞ jisung clicked his tongue as he remove the older's hand on his cheeks and diverted his eyes somewhere that made jaemin quickly move and made him look back at him. ❝hyung, what is it?❞

❝i want you to turn around, look no where but your door and go inside then get your umbrella.❞ jaemin gave out instructions, making sure that jisung was looking at him and only him. ❝do you understand?❞

jisung nodded his head and then turned his body around, looking at his door and getting back inside the house without looking anywhere. he wondered why jaemin was telling him to do so but then again, he didn't care that much.

meanwhile, jaemin now had his attention to the two familiar faces that's laughing as if they are good old friends for how many years already. jaemin never knew that it's going to be this hard for jisung to get chenle back.

"you know, being a graduating student is not that easy."

"that's also my worry but looking at you, it looks like it's going to be easy."

"hey!"

"i'm just kidding ge!"

why is chenle together with xiaojun?
