❝so, how was it?❞

with a smile on his face and mind still stuck in the moment yesterday, jisung placed his chin down on his palms as he sighed so dreamily. ❝it was magical.❞

jaemin rolled his eyes at jisung who's looking so in love. although, he was happy that his ship finally sailed. chenle had already told him about the events yesterday and jaemin couldn't keep his loud and high pitched squeal when chenle told him that they kissed last night. up until now, jaemin still had the urge to squeal but had to stay composed as they were inside the cafeteria.

❝so when are you going to confess your feelings to him?❞ jaemin suddenly asked, snapping jisung out from his thoughts.

❝my feelings?❞ the younger male tilted his head to the side as he was tinsy bit confused.

jaemin raised a brow at the clueless boy. ❝your feelings. don't you love chenle?❞

❝oh yeah.❞ jisung buried his head down to his palms he as muffled out a groan. ❝i didn't even thought of that.❞

with his brows now furrowed, jaemin gave his beloved cousin a look. ❝do you love chenle? or even like?❞

❝i..❞ jisung looked up from his palms and frowned at jaemin who sighed in disappointment. ❝i don't know.❞

❝ji—❞ just before jaemin was about to nag jisung about playing with feelings and being sure with it, jisung had already started to talk again.

❝but whenever i'm with him, i feel my world being filled with rainbows and butterflies.❞ jisung smiled, ❝my body would always go crazy whenever he is around and i just can't help but miss for his presence all the time. he is always inside my head and damn i'm missing him now.❞

jaemin felt relieved. for a moment there, he thought jisung was just playing with chenle. ❝is that even like?❞

❝nope, i think this is love.❞ there's no doubt, jisung is feeling love. he would want to call it first as like but then he realized that the like stage was way before when he asked chenle to be his bank account. ❝the wonderful feeling of love.❞

❝so, when are you confessing?❞ jaemin asked the question again as he could see jisung already aware of everything.

but jisung only raised a brow at jaemin in a teasing way as he replied to jaemin's question with the same question. ❝when are you confessing?❞

❝me?❞ jaemin scoffed at gave his cousin a glare. ❝i was only forced to shout that i like them that time because of you. i really despise them, i really do.❞

❝oh really?❞

two familiar boys then came to their table and placed their tray down, giving jisung a smile and wondering why jaemin looked so nervous all of a sudden.

❝hey there jisung!❞ renjun greeted the boy sitting across them and then turned to jaemin who's sitting in between him and jeno. ❝jaemin?❞

jeno then nudged the boy next to him, ❝are you okay nana?❞

looking straight at jisung, the boy was having fun watching his beloved cousin being frozen at his place and getting all nervous just because the two people he despise the most is sitting next to him.

gulping, jaemin had his mind all a mess. ❝me no okay.❞

letting out a snort, jisung felt like he should answer for his cousin who's really not on his right mind. ❝yeah, he's perfectly fine.❞

moments later, a familar looking cute boy came inside the cafeteria with a smile on his face and papers on his hands. jisung immediately felt all excited and could feel his body all giddy just because of a smiling dolphin making his way towards their table.

and the moment chenle arrived, he slammed the papers down the table and placed both of his hands on his hips. ❝see that? it's legend!❞

even jaemin got snapped to his old self when chenle slammed the papers down the table. they leaned their bodies forward and had their jaws dropped when they saw chenle's test results. he aced everything, there were a few mistakes, around two or three. they couldn't believe chenle could actually do it, although they had somehow expected to see this happening.

❝i'm so proud.❞ jisung said the moment chenle sat down next to him.

chenle had a wide smile plastered on his face. ❝i could now attend the grand ball!❞

❝wait,❞ jaemin raised a brow at chenle as he wasn't sure what he had just heard. ❝you passed these test just because you wanted to join the grand ball? no wait, you aced these tests because of that?❞

chenle nodded his head and was about to speak but jeno cuts him off. ❝well yeah, you can't attend if your grades aren't even close to passing.❞

jisung was this near to letting out the most ugliest laugh the moment he saw jaemin's face. he could even see the poor male's soul coming out of his body. ❝i guess jaemin failed in all of them.❞

the said male only scoffed. ❝who told you i want to go?❞

❝it's the grand ball,❞ renjun pouted as he wrapped his arms around the tall male's arms. ❝everyone wants to go.❞

jaemin could then feel his hand being intertwined with something warm and when turned to his other side, jaemin saw jeno holding his hand with a smile on his face. ❝we three can be each other's date if you go.❞

with the two of them convincing jaemin to go pass his remainings test so that he can attend the grand ball their school holds every year, jisung and chenle were having their own world and completely ignoring the three across them.

they were looking at each other's eyes with full adoration and chenle was caught off guard when jisung suddenly leaned down and gave a peck on his lips. ❝hey!❞ chenle quickly covered his mouth with his cheeks all flushed. ❝what was that for?❞

❝your lips just look so kissable.❞ jisung then leaned closer again, making the older scoot away. reaching out for the older, jisung wrapped his arm around the older's waist and pulled him back close. ❝actually, your lips always look kissable. can i just kiss every second?❞

pushing the younger away, chenle diverted his eyes to the counter and saw that the two of them still haven't had their orders yet. an idea then came to chenle's mind that could let him escape this situation. ❝i-i'll go buy our lunch!❞

❝no bae.❞ fuck, chenle cursed inside his head. that pet name never fails to make his heart go crazy. ❝you stay here while i do that.❞

❝what? why?❞

❝i don't like how that lady behind the counter always calls you cute.❞ jisung clicked his tongue before standing up from his seat.

jaemin heard what his cousin just said and can't help but have the urge to roll his eyes. ❝possessive chicken.❞

jisung turned to his cousin and raised a brow at him. a teasing smile then went to his lips as he saw something that hasn't been noticed by others. instead of getting back at him with another comeback, why not actually tease him? ❝beloved nana, your hand is slowly making its way to renjun's peaches.❞

jaemin gasped. ❝jisung!❞

🐋

whole afternoon, jisung was thinking of a way to how he should ask chenle out to the grand ball. although he knew that chenle would be his date no matter what, yes he is that confident, he still wants to ask chenle in a way the older ever forget.

classes has ended already and jisung still hasn't thought of something special to surprise chenle. maybe he can just do it simple, like bringing a rose with him, knock on his front door, then ask him out. that's a good idea. chenle went first to get something in his lockers and jisung was left alone inside the silent classroom as he was still busy thinking about another way to ask chenle out.

he then decided not to rush things as the ball is still by the end of the month, that's like three weeks from now. jisung still has enough time to think for a perfect way to ask chenle out.

finally coming out of the classroom, jisung walked down the silent hallways and just realized how long he took. students are probably already out of the building by now, he just hopes that chenle is still waiting for him by the lockers.

"c-chenle? i know you don't know me but i actually had found you cute since the time you were transferred here."

"oh.. thank you?"

jisung's ears then twitched when he heard a familiar voice. with his steps getting faster, jisung tried to stay calm at the fact that someone is trying to confess to chenle or is just there to complement the chinese. but either way, jisung still doesn't like it.

"since the ball is fast approaching.."

jisung had already appeared and gave the student a glare, making him shake so nervously. but bold and brave of him to still continue the purpose of meeting chenle there by the lockers.

"i was thinking of asking you out to be my date for the ball?"

jisung scoffed at the student, he's not even confident in asking chenle out. before even letting chenle speak, jisung grabbed the short male's wrist and pulled him close all so suddenly and making the older bump to his chest. jisung held back his will to coo and went to glance up at the student.

❝the answer is a big fat no.❞ intertwining their fingers together, jisung raised their hands with that proud smile of his. ❝he's already mine.❞

❝ji—❞

❝so i want you to get out of my sight in three, two..❞ and the student took a bow to excuse himself. he watched the student sprint out from their sights and as he looked down at chenle, he received a punch from him by the arm.

❝why did you scare him away?❞ chenle huffed, crossing his arms and gave jisung a look.

❝he was asking you to be his date.❞ jisung groaned as he still could feel the pain on his arm that's caused by chenle.

❝and then?❞

❝what do you mean by "and then"?❞ the younger male scoffed for the second time because of what chenle just said. ❝don't tell me you were planning on accepting it?❞

taking steps back as jisung was walking towards him, chenle gulped as he could now feel his back hitting the cold metal lockers. he tried to escape but jisung had already placed both of his hands to trap the scared dolphin.

❝answer me.❞

❝well,❞ chenle gathered all the courage he has and looked up at jisung who's looking down at him sternly. ❝i don't see why not.❞

he didn't mean to anger jisung even more. ❝what?❞

❝no one had asked me out yet and he was the first one so why should i not accept?❞ chenle said, hugging the books he is holding as he could feel jisung leaned down at him.

and in just a blink of an eye, jisung smashed their lips together. chenle stood there frozen as he just let jisung kiss him. the younger immediately got annoyed that chenle wasn't returning the kiss. he then pulled away and ran a hand through chenle's soft lock until his hand stopped behind the chinese's head.

❝kiss me.❞ he again connected their lips and bit chenle's lower lip to remind him what he should do.

despite of being confused of the situation, chenle kissed back and soon the two were now make out by the lockers. they didn't mind though, not like there's someone there other than them. students had already made their out of the building so apparently they are alone.

dropping his books, chenle threw his arms to the younger's shoulder's and pulled him even closer than ever. he had already melted to the kiss and he hated how jisung can make him feel like this. but he loved how jisung was handling him like a delicate glass.

they were totally wrong about being alone.

❝he seems so happy with him. is that his boyfriend?❞ yangyang glanced to the side and saw xiaojun gritting his teeth. ❝xiao are you still mad at chenle?❞

clicking his tongue, xiaojun got annoyed at the sight. not because chenle was kissing jisung, and totally not because jisung was having his hands everywhere on chenle's body.

chenle was happy and he hated to see it.

❝chenle ruined my life.❞

to return the favor, he will have to ruin chenle's life too.
