❝na fucking jaemin!❞

everyone by a specific table flinched when someone suddenly approached them and slammed a familiar book down the table. even people around them turned their heads just to see what the commotion is all about. jaemin stared at the book for quite a while before looking up and sending a small smile to the furious tanned male with his worried boyfriend behind him.

❝it's been a while hyuckie!❞ jaemin greeted, as if that book donghyuck just slammed down the table doesn't remind him of anything. ❝and to you too simba. how are you guys?❞

❝you threw the book!❞ donghyuck said (actually no, he shouted it out loud), not letting jaemin get away with what he did. ❝i got hit by it you bi—❞

❝sunshine.❞

mark's stern voice made donghyuck stop his sentence before he could curse at jaemin who's probably having the time of his life seeing donghyuck get mad. the tanned male stood up properly and took a deep breath to calm himself down before speaking. ❝you apologize.❞

jisung furrowed his as he found it odd. ❝i swear it landed down on one of the vending machines outside the building, how did it hit you?❞

remembering why they were near the vending machine made donghyuck malfunction in no time. he was such a different person from the donghyuck who shouted and cursed at jaemin a while ago. ❝w-well.. a-actually..❞

seeing his friend stuttering made jaemin smirk. ❝took you a day to give me my book.❞

mark chuckled at his boyfriend that's now not himself and decided to save his ass. ❝we bought a drink since donghyuck was thirsty and he was busy the whole day yesterday, he didn't have the chance to give it to you.❞

buying a drink, sure. for all they know, mark might have slammed donghyuck by the vending machine and kissed the life out of him. and donghyuck being so dedicated to mark, he submitted himself to his beloved. but sure, if mark says that they were buying a drink then they were buying a drink.

chenle looked up to the tanned male with full curiosity after seeing those visible red marks on donghyuck's neck and some were covered on his collarbones. ❝donghyuck hyung, are you sick?❞ he was genuinely worried.

they all followed to where chenle was looking at and it made them think otherwise than them buying a drink by the vending machine. it was slowly fading so those marks couldn't have been freshly done last night nor this morning. it's funny how they all become detectives and all so smart when it comes to whatever mark and donghyuck are up to.

❝don't worry chenle.❞ mark threw his arm around his frozen boyfriend. ❝a lot of mosquitoes visited donghyuck last night.❞

jeno snorted from his place, completely understanding the situation. he is not that dense to not know that those mosquitoes are obviously no other than mark lee. ❝those mosquitoes sure did leave pretty marks, i must say.❞

❝well, thank you.❞ mark said with a big smile on his face, didn't even realize that he just exposed them.

❝you're not a mosquito mark hyung.❞ chenle laughed at mark for thanking for what the mosquitoes made, and not what he made. oh, if only chenle knew.

now not only was donghyuck frozen but also was mark. they all watched the couple and rolled their eyes at them for being dumb. renjun, who just finished his lunch, decided to answer for them and just hopes that chenle won't ask anymore questions.

❝mark is thanking in behalf of the mosquitoes.❞ renjun said, satisfied after seeing the nod on chenle's head.

finally snapping out from their thoughts, both mark and donghyuck went to sit down to their usual spots down on their table and talked with the others, catching up them. donghyuck was so loud in attacking the three with questions, his main target was jaemin. he asked when, where, and how they got together and jaemin had felt his urge to disown donghyuck getting stronger than before. while their attention were at the three, jisung and chenle were having their own world.

❝do you want me to stay are your house for the time being?❞ when jisung told chenle that he's going to climb up to his house to enter his room which had the only window that's open, jisung really did it this morning just to get his house keys. it worried chenle the whole time he was watching.

the chinese raised a brow at him. ❝why?❞

❝because your mom is not home.❞ jisung dropped his spoon down and faced chenle with that knowing smile. ❝and i just guessed that you are lonely.❞

chenle then threatened to stab jisung with a spoon, ❝i don't like that look on your face.❞

❝aw come on,❞ jisung pushed the older's hand away for the spoon to get out of their way in between them so thay he can lean forward to the chinese. ❝you like me being with you.❞

chenle's face then started to heat up upon remembering the countless of kisses last night. jisung is right, he does like the younger's presence. ❝shut up.❞

❝my lips on yours,❞ jisung whispered on his ears all so suddenly, and chenle could even then feel the younger's hand on his thighs. ❝doing wonders to your lips and tasting every bit of you.❞

he is jaemin's cousin, no doubt.

❝alpha jisung,❞ jaemin flashed his sweet smile to his cousin who looks like he's harassing the scared transfer student. ❝leave the omega alone.❞

❝he's my omega,❞ jisung placed an arm around chenle who stayed quiet at the cousins' conversation. ❝why would i leave my omega alone?❞

donghyuck squinted his eyes at the two, disappointed at how they were talking. ❝i think it's time for me to confiscate your phones.❞

renjun chuckled at the three before putting his attention to chenle who's eating his lunch quietly. ❝chenle, is your mom home?❞ he was just curious if his mother knew about his relationship with jisung.

actually, what is their relationship?

❝she just left for china yesterday.❞ the younger chinese said with a sad smile on.

wanting to brighten the mood, jisung had thought of an idea. he then clutched his chest so tight and had his face all scrunched, looking hurt. ❝and i didn't even get to introduce myself properly to my mother-in-law.❞

and it fortunately made chenle giggle, but he of course received a slap by the arm for acting that way. donghyuck and mark widened their eyes at what they heard from jisung, knowing that it was a joke but they somewhat took it seriously. you can't blame them for being like this, they don't hang out with them that much these past few days and they are a little bit left back.

❝so you guys are dating now?❞ donghyuck questioned, not knowing that it was such a sensitive topic for them.

jisung asked this last night but chenle didn't say anything about it because he, too, didn't know the right answer. instead, chenle smashed their lips together hoping that jisung would forget about it, which jisung actually did, and the two of them spent the night kissing. they didn't bring up the topic again last night, not up until now that donghyuck is asking.

now all eyes were on them. jaemin was aware about their complicated relationship and wanted to hit donghyuck for asking that question but he can't help but also anticipate for their answers, wanting to hear from them what really is going on between them.

❝i'm..❞ chenle stood up from his seat after a few moments of silence and gave them a forced out smile. ❝i'm going to buy a drink first.❞

now it was jisung left in the table, and they were still waiting for the answer to come out from his mouth.

but jisung clapped his hands together very loudly that made them flinch. ❝great work guys!❞

jaemin was disappointed, but at the same time he felt bad for the younger. he hadn't been on a relationship before so of course he won't know what to do. ❝you haven't asked him to be your boyfriend?❞

❝it's okay,❞ they turned to mark who spoke. ❝you don't have to rush things jisung.❞

❝yeah but i want him to be mine before anyone else does it first.❞ jisung said, burying his head down on the table. he just wished chenle is going to come back and act like nothing happened.

jeno watched the youngest of them all sulking and tapped his chin to think of an idea. ❝have you asked chenle out to the ball yet?❞

❝was about to do that today.❞ the sad chicken then out a long sigh. ❝but i guess i have to wait for another day again.❞ after what just happened, today is not quite the perfect day to ask chenle out.

renjun and jeno turned to look at each other and they were looking like they are communicating using their eyes. mark and donghyuck watched the two quietly while jaemin, who's sitting in between them, just ate his chicken nuggets. he knew the two had an idea in mind and he's just going to trust them.

❝what if you ask him out today,❞ renjun spoke after nodding his head at jeno. ❝in both being your boyfriend and also being your date to the ball.❞

now just being reminded of the ball, donghyuck slapped mark's thighs as he turned to face his surprised boyfriend. ❝when are you asking me out?❞

❝do i really have to do that? i mean, i know you'll say yes anyways.❞ mark said, not really finding the need to ask donghyuck out anymore since it's already obvious that they would already be each other's date for the ball.

❝mark lee!❞

while the two were arguing, jisung raised his head and gave the three across him a look. ❝and how am i going to do that?❞

and it's now jaemin's turn to have an idea in mind. ❝listen to me.❞

🐋

walking down the hallways while hugging the books he needed to place inside his locker, chenle was having trails of rainbows and butterflies behind him. despite of what just happen during lunch break, it was that easy to bring chenle's mood up. jisung knew him so well and gave him a pack of banana milks. that's all it took for chenle to be all bright again.

his cute smile was even making students smile as he passed by the hallways during break time in the afternoon.

opening his locker, chenle was greeted by a familia senior thats leaning by the locker next to his. ❝xiaojun?❞

❝hey there chenle.❞ xiaojun chuckled as he ruffled the younger's hair. and like what he had always knew, chenle would melt at the touch.

❝is there something wrong hyung?❞ chenle said while placing his books inside his locker. he found it weird that xiaojun came to him all of a sudden.

❝nope, i just want to see you.❞ xiaojun said, hoping to see the younger get flustered at what he just said but instead, he only got a smile. the senior then cleared his throat, ❝want to hang out later after school?❞

chenle hummed as he thought of what he'll be doing after classes. when he found out that he was completely free, he didn't find it wrong to hang out with xiaojun. after all, the senior is his friend.

but jisung will get mad.

shaking his head, chenle erased the thought inside of his mind. why would jisung get mad? it's not like they are in a relationship. jisung won't mind, well that's what he thinks.

just as he was opening his mouth to speak, chenle's phone vibrated inside his pocket. excusing himself, chenle took out his phone and read the message he had received from jisung. too busy smiling at the fact that jisung messaged him, he didn't see xiaojun leaning forward to see what the message was all about.

❝sorry, i still have to meet jisung.❞ chenle said as he took a bow.

he then completely excused himself after closing his locker and took the time in the world in going to the janitor's closet. he was excited to know what jisung is up to and at the same time he was nervous. is jisung finally going to ask him out? that question was running inside his head and it's what making chenle excited. but he was taking to slow, not wanting to be obvious that he was that excited.

chenle frowned at the silent hallways onnthe ground floor but nonetheless, he kept on moving forward. there was no jisung in sight. chenle sighed, maybe he walked too fast. not wanting to go back to the lockers and come back here again, chenle stood in front of a familiar room that made him smile.

he had his first kiss with jisung inside this janitor's closet. and honestly speaking, chenle never knew jisung was the rough and so experienced in kissing.

taking his phone out, chenle was about to make a call but he was suddenly pulled inside the janitor's closet, making him yelp in surprise. it was dark, just like the first time he came here. he was then pushed to the wall and chenle cursed under his breath when he felt his phone slipping from his hold. someone was inside the janitor's closet other than him, but chenle couldn't guess who it was.

❝jisung?❞
