This is bullcrap, Jeno wants to change his clothes and wear what he usually wears. But he made a promise, and he's not usually one to break it, so he stares at himself at the mirror and trying to fix his hair.

He goes to his drawer and apply some foundation on his neck and collarbone hiding the hickeys that he got the previous night. He packs his eyeglasses in its case and puts it in his bag along with his face mask just in case.

The raven haired looks at himself at the mirror one more time, "this is horrible," he said to himself as he scrunched his nose.

A honk was heard making him flinch from the loud noise, he slaps himself to snap out of it and grabs his things before leaving. He goes downstairs and sees Donghyuck eating his breakfast and earning a glare.

He just rolled his eyes and left ignoring the latter's scolding. He sees Jaemin's car and gets in the passengers seat as he puts on his seatbelt.

Jeno waits for a few seconds and realizes that they weren't moving yet, he raised a brow and turns to Jaemin to see the boy looking at him with mouth agape, "what?" He asked.

Jaemin blinks before clearing his throat, "nothing," he shakes his head, "you just," he paused, "you look cute," he said with a smile.

Jeno felt his cheeks heat up and mumbles a thank you before turning back around as Jaemin drives to their school.

Jeno gulps as Jaemin opens his door, he steps out and sees a few people staring at them again. The caramel haired takes his hand in his and entwined their fingers as they walk in the building.

The raven haired clutches Jaemin's hand unconsciously as he hid behind the boy's shoulder while they head to his locker, he hears people gasping and whispering as they took their phones out.

"No way, is that Lee Jeno?"

"Oh shit, He's pretty cute, or maybe both of those,"

"That's the school's loser? Bitch I think the school's cutie,"

"Did he got some glow up or something? Or was he always pretty?"

"Fuck those pigs and monkeys, I'd smash him–"

"Is that the Lee Jeno you told me? You didn't say he was cute,"

"Jaemin really got some upgrade,"

Jaemin leads them to Jeno's locker as the boy was trying to hide in his oversized clothes and Jaemin's built body.

They arrive and Jeno puts his code in and gets his stuff. As he was about to grab his book for French class, Jaemin suddenly turned him around grabbing him by the waist making him squeak.

"Wha–" Jeno tries to speak but Jaemin cuts him off as he leans in to his ear and pushes him against his locker.

"Shh," Jaemin said, "they're watching," he mentioned as Jeno practically looks around to see everyone watching, even Hana and Jeongin. "You know what that means," the older said.

Jeno widens his eyes and pushes Jaemin's chest a bit to look at him, there was still some distance, only a little bit, "now?!" He whisper-yells.

Jaemin clicks his tongue, "duh," he rolled his eyes. Jeno puffed out his cheeks and was about to say something until the caramel haired connects their lips together and licks his lower lip.

Jeno gasps and kisses back in instinct, he sees people recording them and gossiping making him feel uncomfortable.

Jaemin seemed to notice and pulled him closer by the waist and squeezed his side as he changed the forced hungry kiss into a gentle and soft one.

The caramel haired opens one of his eye to look around and smirks when he sees his ex-girlfriend and ex-bestfriend watching them, he pulls away as Jeno panted with his lips swollen.

Jaemin pulls the younger's head to his chest and pecks his head, "you did well," he comments as the bell rang.

Jeno flushed and looked up as Jaemin pecks his forehead, the boy reaches to his locker and grabs his book before handing it out to him.

The raven receives it while thanking him as Jaemin takes his hand and leads him to his class.

Renjun and Jeno heads to the cafeteria since the garden was closed again to their dismay, they walk side by side and enters the lunchroom.

As if a ghost entered the room, everyone went silent as they looked at each other, "why is everyone staring at us?" Jeno whispers with a cute face of confusion.

Renjun shrugs, "I think you meant, why is everyone staring at you," he chuckles as Jeno made a 'huh' sound. "You had a glow up," he adds, "well, for them atleast, but yeah, they're just amazed at your beauty," he playfully said.

Jeno flushed and nudges his arm before they awkwardly head to an empty table as people's gaze were following their figures. They sat down and as if Renjun couldn't take the staring anymore, he rolled his eyes.

"Can everyone go back to their business before I shove these forks down your throats? Thank you!," he said loudly.

Jeno chuckles as everyone murmurs some words before looking away. They start to eat as Renjun shared his lunch to his raven haired friend.

Suddenly, a hand places itself on their table, they look up to see Jaemin with a grin. "Can we help you?" Renjun sassily asked rolling his eyes.

Jaemin snickers, "you can," he then turns his gaze to Jeno, "why are you sitting here?" He raised a brow.

Jeno tilted his head dumbfounded, "because it was the only table available? We can't just stand and eat our lunch," he pouts.

Jaemin stares at him, specifically his pout before clearing his throat, "sit with me," he said calmly.

Jeno widens his eyes and takes a nugget from Renjun's lunchbox and munches on it, "why?" He asked mouthful.

The caramel haired looks around before back at him, "because you're my boyfriend, we're supposed to sit together," he shrugs.

Renjun snorts and mocks him silently as he chews, Jeno squirms on his seat, "I don't think so," he said hesitantly and swallows his food.

Jaemin sighs, "why not?" He said leaning closer. It was then Jeno realized the attention was back at them.

"Jaemin, last time I sat there I had a panic attack," Jeno deadpans as the said boy pursed his lips seemingly thinking about something.

"I told them to stop and if they'll do it again I'll scold them," Jaemin said determined as Jeno still looked doubtful, he leans closer making their faces inches apart, "please, Jeno."

Jeno gulps, "I don't know," he mumbles. Jaemin scans his face and stares at him making him lean back a bit.

"Please, kitten," Jaemin persuaded with mentioning his pet name making him widen his eyes and Renjun spitting his Yakult on the table.

Jeno's cheeks heats up and nodded slowly, "fine," he said, "but, Renjun has to come with," he smiles cheekily and glances at his friend.

The caramel haired nodded hastily, "okay fine, just please sit with us,"Jaemin pleaded licking his lips, Jeno sighed and nodded.

Jaemin grins again, "great!" He exclaims and takes Jeno's half eaten nugget in his hand before eating it ignoring the raven's protests.

The two friends sighed as Jaemin waited for them, they stood up as Renjun packed his lunchbox with a few grumbles.

Jaemin leads them to his table and they sat down, Renjun was sitting across from Donghyuck and besides Jisung. The tanned male looks at him for a bit before going back to his food.

Jaemin wraps an arm around Jeno's waist and pulls him to his side, the raven haired looks at his food as his stomach grumbles. The older laughed, "you can have them, I already ate," he shrugs.

Jeno looks up at him with big doe eyes as it shines from the sunlight, Jaemin gulped audibly when the boy smiled at him making his lips curl up and his eyes half moons, like a cat.

Jeno devoured the older's previous lunch as the others apart from his friend were apologizing from their actions the last time he sat with them.

The raven haired giggled when Chenle kept blaming Jisung for it saying he started it as the latter protested. Jeno just waved them off, "it's fine guys, really," he said giving a cute smile.

They smiled back a little, except for Donghyuck who rolled his eyes at his stepbrother.

The caramel haired joined in a conversation with Mark and Renjun, despite the latter making remarks at him from time to time as he patted his hand with a rhythm on Jeno's side, the boy flushing in red as he ate.
