waiting outside the building, jaemin waved his hand in the air to get a specific person's attention. he successfully did get his eyes and he ran towards him the moment he did.

❝you are early.❞ jisung knew jaemin's schedule and their classes end thirty minutes after theirs.

jaemin shrugged before throwing his arm around jisung's shoulder. ❝mr. lee was called by the principal and we got dismissed early.❞

not really caring, jisung just nodded his head as he took his phone out to check his rank in this game of his. clicking his tongue, jisung got frustrated that he went two places down. not to worry though, he'll surely bring his high rank back again later when he gets home. but for now, he needs to meet up with his friends at their usually hanging out spot, the arcade.

❝you know jung jaehyun?❞ jaemin spoke, breaking the ice between them.

❝hm?❞ jaemin is seriously asking if he knows the senior, the graduating students, that is so popular that girls, and even boys, are drooling over him. ❝what about him?❞

❝he, too, was called by the the principal.❞ turning to the side, jisung saw jaemin scrunching his nose and then looking at him with a look of disgust. ❝someone saw them doing it inside the restroom stalls.❞

❝what!?❞ jisung shouted in shock a little bit too loud that jaemin quickly covered his mouth as people are now looking at them. the younger removed his cousin's hand from his mouth and spoke again but this time he was whispering, ❝a student and a teacher?❞

❝that's sweet actually.❞ the older said with a smile on his face as he tried to think about it.

❝do you daydream about jeno and you being teachers and renjun being a student?❞ because jaemin won't be like that for no reason, he won't actually like a student and teacher relationship without a reason.

nodding his head unconsciously, jaemin spoke out honestly as he was still lost with his piled of thoughts about the fantasies he has whenever he's bored. ❝yeah.❞

stopping his tracks, jaemin too followed the younger and stopped walking. looking up at him, he raised a brow when he saw the tall boy wiggling his brows up and down, giving him a teasing look.

❝wha—❞ freezing for a second, jaemin could feel his face heating up. he then looked away and slapped the younger's shoulder. ❝shut up.❞

❝so hyung, does renjun hyung take you two so well—❞

❝let's not talk about it!❞ jaemin pushed the younger away, fluttered at the mistake he did.

❝i really think we should.❞ it was jisung's turn to place an arm on his cousin's shoulders. ❝laid down on the desk, uniform disheveled, spreading his legs—❞

❝you unholy child.❞

giggling, jisung leaned his head to his beloved cousin. ❝i learned from the best.❞

gasping ever so dramatic, jaemin covered his mouth as he somewhat felt like he was being blamed at something. ❝i am not that dirty.❞

❝sure,❞ jisung nodded, not agreeing but it's for the sake of his cousin to feel a little bad. ❝i found some gay magazines under your bed.❞

❝holy shit!❞

jisung sprinted away from jaemin when he saw his fists clenched tight and are ready to be thrown at him. ❝i won't ask if you're dirty or not.❞

❝because i'm not—❞ well, not really. he does know some stuff and also do things but he does it secretly, jisung just had to find out.

❝but you need to admit that you like both jeno hyung and renjun hyung.❞

❝i do not—❞

❝anyone wants some gay magazines from jae—❞

pushing jisung harshly, ❝okay fine, i like jeno and renjun!❞

jisung's jaw dropped at his cousin who shouted so loud that it was possible for the whole school body to hear what he had just suddenly confessed. jaemin opened his eyes and glared at jisung who's frozen from his place. he wasn't mad, not that much, but he was annoyed that the younger would always tease him and play around with him.

❝are you happy now?❞ jaemin clicked his tongue as he gripped his bag straps very tight.

❝you what?❞

both of their eyes widening, jisung and jaemin looked at each other with panicked faces. jisung mouthed something to jaemin which he didn't catch but had somehow guessed that it was something about who is standing behind him. hoping that it isn't what he is expecting it to be, jaemin slowly turned his head around and jisung had already started taking steps away from jaemin knowing that he'd get a beating for exposing him.

❝renjun? jeno?❞ jaemin suddenly doesn't know how to breathe.

bumping into someone, jisung grabbed hold of this person's waist before this person would fall down and after knowing who he bumped with, a smirk was shown on his face. ❝well hello there, my bank account.❞

his head turned back at his wonderful cousin, jaemin can't help but scream for his name. ❝park jisung!❞ oh, jisung surely is going to receiving a whole night of jaemin torturing him.

which is why jisung needs to escape now.

holding chenle's hand, jisung immediately ran with chenle being dragged by him. ❝let's go!❞

🐋

❝let me go!❞ chenle harshly removed his wrist from jisung's hold and didn't even care if it hurt at that moment. ❝why did you drag me with you?❞

looking around, chenle groaned as he at a very unfamiliar place. it has just been a month or two since he last arrived here from china and he was busy with the paper works in buying a house and enrolling in a school to even give himself a proper walk around the city. but that isn't going to be a problem, he is just going to ask the people for directions but he was bothered at the tall chicken who brought him here so suddenly.

giggling, jisung was satisfied seeing that annoyed look on chenle's face. ❝i just want to tire those short legs of yours.❞

chenle quickly raised his fist up, ready to punch jisung, but immediately placed it back down knowing he shouldn't do something stupid that could lead jisung into spreading that forbidden video of his. while chenle was composing himself down, jisung scanned the street they were at and a big smile was formed in his lips after seeing a very familiar arcade.

turning around, ❝i'm going home.❞ chenle was about to walk away but was pulled back and, again, dragged somewhere he doesn't even know where. ❝why do you keep on dragging me!?❞

jisung stayed silent as he opened the door to the arcade and was greeted by a couple of guys hanging out at a one spot of the arcade. waving his hand in the air, jisung approached them with chenle following from behind as he was being dragged by him. jisung finally lets go of the short male and went to do his handshakes with his so-called gang of friends. chenle stood there, feeling left out, but could only roll his eyes.

one guy noticed chenle and gave his attention to him, ❝and who might you be little one?❞

yes, chenle is the shortest there. it's not his fault actually, all of them look like trees and jisung is one of the tallest in their group. seeing that chenle was a bit uncomfortable, jisung placed an arm around the older's shoulders and gave his friends a smile.

❝he is chenle.❞ jisung gripped his hand on the short male's shoulder as he felt a tad bit of his blood boiling as he saw that smile on his friend's face as he looked at chenle.

another came and made chenle take a step back when he came a little bit too close. ❝you are cute.❞

❝move.❞ jisung didn't even know why he suddenly pushed his friend and asked him to move. maybe it's because he has a heart and somehow felt bad seeing chenle looking uneasy.

❝woah there,❞ the male only chuckled at jisung, who looks like he would kill, before standing in between the other two. ❝i thought you couldn't come?❞

the tallest of them nodded, ❝because your rich ass is already broke and your mom won't give you extra.❞

looking at chenle, jisung gave him a knowing look. it took chenle a few seconds before finally understanding what that look meant and he surely didn't like it. ❝actually, i have money with me.❞

the guys cheered, ❝then what are we standing here for?❞

watching them walk away to different kinds of machines and just wasting their money on them, chenle stood there not knowing what to do. he wanted to leave, go home, and just rest, but jisung still has his arm on his shoulders and seens like he has no plans of removing it.

feeling a tap on his shoulder, chenle looked up and saw jisung raising his brows up and then down. ❝it's time to go to work bank account.❞

coming out of the arcade, chenle let out his most longest sigh. the sky was already dark and the street light were now starting to lit up the streets. it took him hours being inside that arcade where you could hear jisung and his friends cursing whenever they lose or make a mistake at a game. kids were looking at them while the other teenagers looking like their age would look at them from time to time and would judge them.

❝stupid asshole.❞

and now he had to go home alone because jisung won't go with him as he'd be joining his friends in eating dinner at a restaurant. before letting him leave, jisung first asked money from chenle and chenle had to go to a nearest atm machine to withdraw some money. he didn't want to do that as it was tiring but jisung reminded him of that video and chenle had no choice to do what he wants him to do and give what he wants him to give.

chenle was mad, jisung can't at least bring him to a bus stop or what?

sighing, chenle took out his phone as he searched for his location as of the moment. thinking about it would only make him want to kill jisung and that won't even help his situation right now which is why he should stop thinking about jisung and start using his brain cells in finding where the bus stop is. he is lost, that's for sure.

just when he was about to type another location, chenle's screen suddenly rang and showed of someone calling. seeing who it was, chenle can't help but show a small smile before accepting the call.

❝hey mom.❞ talking to his mom, he felt his problems disappearing.

the other line stayed silent for a few seconds before finally hearing a voice. "lele!"

laughing at how loud his mother squealed, ❝i miss you mom.❞ chenle said as he stopped in the middle of the sidewalk as he didn't know where to go anymore.

"i miss you too lele." and then came the silence. chenle then patiently waited for his mother to speak again and after hearing her question, chenle can't help but frown again. "is everything okay there?"

honestly speaking? today is probably the worst day of his life. ❝yes mom, i'm fine.❞ but for the sake of his mother not getting all worried, he had to lie.

"i checked your account and got shocked at the expenses for today." even though they were rich, they still use their money wisely and won't waste it. "did something happen?"

yes, jisung happened. it's all jisung's expenses. which he could say thay to his mother without being bombarded with questions after. chenle had thought that jisung would only use a small amount at the arcade but seems like he thought wrong. chenle even panicked for a short moment thinking that jisung bought the whole arcade using his money.

❝no mom, i'm just hanging out with my friends and treating them for dinner.❞ he lied once again.

but hearing his mother giggling from the other line, a smile again curved in chenle's lips imagining his mother being all happy. "that's good to hear that you have friends already then. do you want me to put extra inside your account?"

knowing that this would not be his first time wasting his money on jisung, he needed the money. ❝yes, please and thank you.❞

"no problem." she simply said. the two of them then talked about their days for a few minutes before the mother had to end the call as someone had call her from the office.

❝bye mom, i love you.❞ chenle said before letting his mom end the call.

staring at his phone before diverting his attention to the streets that had two ways to go to, chenle can't help but let out a sigh of stress. a lot if thinf happened so quickly in one day that chenle couldn't even believe that it happened. i feels like a dream, a nightmare because jisung is in it.

but this is reality and he is jisung's bank account for real.

looking down, ❝what have i put myself into?❞ chenle said with a frown on his face.
