Donghyuck swore that if he could get any angrier, he would literally have smoke coming out of his ears and mouth.
His face was contorted with ire and his fists were so tight that his nails were biting into his palm. He wouldn't be surprised if they started bleeding, but at the moment he didn't really care.
Jeno was standing in front of him with a cocky smirk on his lips and his arms crossed in front of his chest.
Once again, he was egging Donghyuck on and Donghyuck was finding it hard to control himself from letting the bastard have it.
"You're such a loser. No wonder you don't have a girlfriend" Jeno laughed.
"I don't see how you have any room to talk. I saw you behind the school sucking that football player off" Donghyuck countered.
"Why you- " Jeno launched himself at Donghyuck right when Donghyuck took a step forward.
Who knows whose fist connected first, because when they were abruptly pulled apart by the principal and Renjun, they were both bloody and out of breath.
"I don't know which of you started this, but both of you are getting in-school suspension tomorrow and you're going straight to the nurse's office" Principal Seo looked at both of them with a disapproving frown.
"B-but, Principal Seo, I have soccer practice during lunch tomorrow" Jeno whined, but immediately shut up as the principal rose his eyebrow at him.
"I'm sorry, but you'll just have to miss it. I'll let the coach know. Now both of you come with me, everyone else go home" Principal Seo addressed the small crowd that had formed when the fight broke out and then began to escort them towards the nurse's office.
Donghyuck looked back at Renjun, who looked worried, and shrugged his shoulders letting his friend know that there wasn't much they could do.
Renjun nodded and headed towards the school entrance to go home, Donghyuck will have to call him later to let him know he's okay.
Donghyuck and Jeno walked silently on either side of the principal, with the occasional hiss in pain from Donghyuck when the movement jolted his wounds.
When they finally reached the nurse's office, Principal Seo knocked on the door twice and waited for it to open.
Donghyuck watched intently as the door opened to reveal Mr.Lee with a very annoyed expression on his face. He caught himself admiring the man in front of them once again.
"Mr.Lee, these two boys need your medical expertise. I know it's after school hours, but I don't want to send them home all bloody. I hope it's not too much trouble" the principal gave Mr.Lee an apologetic smile.
"Fine. Both of you come in here. You, sit in that chair over there and you, sit on the bed" Mr.Lee pointed at their designated spots and then turned to the principal, "Thank you, I will take it from here"
Principal Seo nodded his head, gave the two boys a stern look, and then closed the door to the office as he left.
Mr.Lee turned to face both of them and seemed to be assessing their damage before going over to Jeno.
"Seeing as you have the least amount of damage, I'm going to go ahead and treat your wounds so you can hurry up and leave"
The school nurse took out some gauze, medical tape, alcohol wipes, and antibiotic ointment from the medical cabinet and began to patch Jeno up.
Donghyuck watched as Mr.Lee quickly and effectively cleaned every cut on Jeno's face before putting ointment on it and patching up his cheek.
The nurse looked over his handiwork before nodding and telling Jeno the necessary procedures he needed to do to keep the wounds clean.
"You may leave now. I expect you to go straight home and inform your parents of the in-school suspension" Mr.Lee escorted Jeno to the door of the office and then closed it when he was finally out of the room.
"Now, you. I didn't expect that I would be treating you again. It seems you enjoy fighting and getting hurt" Mr.Lee stared at him as Donghyuck looked down in embarrassment.
Donghyuck didn't know what to say besides that his whole face was hurting and he couldn't see out of his right eye. He heard the water running as the nurse washed his hands and he looked up to observe the man.
It had been a few weeks, but Donghyuck still couldn't believe how incredibly attractive the man was. His skin was flawless and he was just so handsome.
His black hair was perfectly trimmed and not a strand was out of place. He looked like a model with his gray button-up shirt and black slacks on his thin frame.
The nurse snapped on some gloves as he approached Donghyuck and grabbed the medical supplies he had set out before placing them on the bed next to Donghyuck.
He grabbed Donghyuck's jaw and turned his head to the side so he could get a better look at the work Jeno left.
"You have a black eye. Other than that, your face is fine besides the busted lip. Anything else on your body hurt?" Mr.Lee looked at Donghyuck expectantly as Donghyuck grimaced when the nurse prodded his eye.
"My ankle kind of hurts, I think I twisted it" Donghyuck wiggled his left foot for emphasis and hissed as pain ran up his leg.
Mr.Lee grabbed his leg and felt the ankle which caused Donghyuck to hiss again. Donghyuck watched as Mr.Lee felt along his ankle bone with slender fingers.
"Well, it's not broken. I'm just going to wrap it up in a bandage and I'm going to recommend staying off of it as much as possible for a couple of days. Now for your eye, I'm going to give you an ice pack and I want you to hold it there for a few minutes"
The nurse gently put Donghyuck's leg back down and went to go retrieve bandages and an ice pack.
Donghyuck sighed internally as he silently reprimanded himself for letting Jeno get exactly what he wanted out of him.
They've always had this rivalry going on and they were constantly getting in fights since middle school. Occasionally they would set aside their differences and hangout, but those were few and far between.
Donghyuck was really regretting letting his anger get the best of him, because now Mr.Lee is going to think Donghyuck is just some brat that can't control his temper.
Donghyuck doesn't know why that bothers him, but it does. He doesn't want the nurse to think he's some immature kid who gets into fights constantly.
Mr.Lee came back to give Donghyuck the ice pack, which Donghyuck pressed to his eye, and then began to wrap Donghyuck's ankle up after taking off his sock and shoe. The nurse did it quickly and with precision which kind of impressed Donghyuck.
"Okay, that's done. I want you to keep that on for the next 24 hours. If you shower, take it off and then have someone else wrap it" Mr.Lee put his leg down after putting his sock and shoe back on.
"Now let me see that eye"
Donghyuck nodded his head and pulled the ice pack away from his face. Mr.Lee grabbed Donghyuck's jaw again and brought Donghyuck's face to him to look more closely.
Donghyuck's face started to burn up at the close proximity and the fact that the nurse had his hand on his face.
He could feel the nurse's breath on his skin as he moved Donghyuck's head at different angles to properly assess the damage.
"It looks like it'll be fine. Just put an ice pack on it for 10 minutes, take it off for 10 minutes, and then put it back on until some of the swelling goes down. It shouldn't take long. After that, try to refrain from getting into any more fights"
Donghyuck nodded his head as much as he could while the nurse continued to have a grasp on his jaw. He nervously swallowed and hoped the nurse would back off soon, because damn his teen hormones.

Mark couldn't believe his luck today. Not only did he have to clean up some kid's vomit earlier that morning, he had to deal with two hotheads after school hours.
Luckily the boy with the blonde hair was easy to patch up and get rid of. However, this brat in front of him was a mess.
Mark was pretty sure if Johnny hadn't separated the two, this boy would've been even more of a mess.
Mark continued to hold Donghyuck's head in place while he looked at the remaining cuts on his face.
He was trying hard not to look at Donghyuck's remaining good eye, because if those eyes hadn't done him in for the past few weeks. He couldn't seem to get the boy out of his head and he didn't even know his name.
Speaking of.
"What's your name?"
Mark had to hold back a smirk as Donghyuck jumped at the sudden question, he seemed kind of fidgety for some reason.
"D-Donghyuck. Lee Donghyuck" the boy said while glancing away from Mark.
Lee Donghyuck. Mark filed that away so that he now had a name to the face that has been plaguing his thoughts.
Mark drew back slightly to look at Donghyuck's face as a whole and narrowed his eyes as he noticed the red tint across the boy's face.
'Is he sick? He didn't seem sick when he came in. What- oh. Oh. Teen hormones suck, don't they, Lee Donghyuck?'
"Whatever you're thinking about you should probably stop" Mark teased him which caused Donghyuck's whole face to turn a bright red while his mouth opened and closed several times.
Mark watched, amused with the show and decided to torture the boy just a little, because he had nothing better to do.
He leaned forward again, acting like he was going to look at Donghyuck's wounds again, but moved his mouth close to the boy's ear and let his breath tickle Donghyuck's skin.
Mark let out a low chuckle, the sound sending a shiver down Donghyuck's body. As soon as he did that though, Donghyuck immediately pushed him away and rushed out of the nurse's office, leaving a surprised Mark to watch the door close on its own.
Mark sighed and shook his head. Maybe he went too far.
Mark got up, quickly grabbed his belongings, and rushed out the door after the boy. It didn't take much for him to catch up to Donghyuck, seeing as his ankle was sprained and bandaged.
He approached Donghyuck from behind and coughed to announce his presence before he began his apology.
"Hey, look. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to tease you so much that you had to run out of the room. Will you accept my apology and let me drive you home so that you're not walking on that ankle?"
Donghyuck looked at him and then looked away before turning back to Mark and nodding his head, "Yeah, I'd appreciate that"
Mark tried to give Donghyuck a reassuring smile, but he was so out of practice with smiling that it probably looked like a smirk.
He put his hand on the small of Donghyuck's back and redirected him to the side door that leads to the employee's parking lot. Once the boy was facing the right direction, Mark put his arm back down to his side and escorted Donghyuck to his car.
They both slipped into the car as Mark started the car up and began to drive out of the parking lot.
"So where do you live?"
"Just a few blocks away at the Hill Complex" Donghyuck pointed in the direction of the apartment complex before sinking back into the seat.
Mark kept quiet as he drove them to Donghyuck's apartment, because he didn't want to make Donghyuck even more uncomfortable than he already was.
Every time Mark glanced over, he could see Donghyuck fidgeting in his seat with that red tint to his cheeks. Mark almost regretted teasing him.
When they pulled up to the complex, Mark put the car in park and turned to look at Donghyuck. Donghyuck had his hand on the door handle, getting ready to open the door, before he turned to Mark and opened his mouth.
Mark cut the kid off before he could say thanks, "Hey, Donghyuck, you don't hate me, right?"
The question seemed to have thrown Donghyuck off because his eyebrows shot up past his messy bangs.
Mark watched as Donghyuck thought to himself before the boy shook his head and gave Mark a small smile, "No, I don't hate you, Mr.Lee. Thanks for the ride, I appreciate it"
With that, Mark watched as Donghyuck got out of the car, closed the door, and walked towards the stairs on the side of the building. Once Donghyuck disappeared from sight, Mark let out a huge sigh and put his car in reverse.
"What was I thinking? A teen showed more self-control than I did"
Mark began his ride to his apartment while he thought about the brunette that had been sitting in his car just a few moments ago.
What is it about that boy that is making Mark like this? Mark couldn't figure it out and he didn't like this new development.
Lee Donghyuck might be the end of me.
