"mom! can you pack me an extra lunch today? i'm staying after school" wooseok shouted from his room as he buttoned up his shirt. he slipped on his glasses headed down the stairs where he met his family.

"morning son" his dad said, smiling at him warmly, "you having breakfast with us?"

wooseok nodded, sitting down and making himself a bowl of cereal. he watched as his mother came out with a hot lunch box, packed with delicious food inside, "thank you mom!"

"are you staying after school again?" his mom asked, placing a kiss on top of her son's head, "you're working extra hard aren't you?"

"i'm tutoring someone today" wooseok sipped on the remaining milk on the bowl, "and i also have a meeting before class starts" he rushed to the sink to put in the bowl.

"he's working just as hard as his brother is" wooseok's dad beamed happily, "we have another business trip at the end of this week son. do you think you can stay home by yourself? we'll have the maids check over on you from time to time"

"no need dad" he put on his jacket and slipped his backpack straps onto his shoulder, "i can take care of myself at home"

"he's growing older now" his mom smiled at him, handing him the lunch boxes to put in his bag, "he doesn't need out supervision anymore"

wooseok smiled, bidding his parents a goodbye before leaving the house. he wasn't in a very rich family. he was in an above average family due to his father's expanding business overseas. he was still able to live a normal life without having to wake up with maids making his food or servants serving his food. he liked it like this.

of course he was busy as ever. he was the president. he had to make sure everything was in place before he could start planning different trips or events in their schools. his schedule was just a bit more packed with tutoring jinhyuk after school. he didn't mind of course.

its been a week since he started doing it. even though jinhyuk was as cold as ever, he started talking to him more and stopped telling him to 'get lost' or 'go away'. maybe it was because he threatened to tell the principle to give him more detention.

he was still the same old jinhyuk. the one that gets into fights with other schools and other vampires. at least he stopped getting into fights at this school. that meant that the amount of detention he got must've just been a month or two at most.

that still didn't mean that jinhyuk didn't get into fights. wooseok watched jinhyuk change his bloody bandage with a new one in the library and frowned through the whole way. the crystal clear skin was ruined. on his face was a big bruise and his lip was cut.

"what happened to you?" wooseok asked, taking out his lunch box and started to eat it. he was practically dying of hunger at this point.

"got into a fight obviously" jinhyuk bit his bottom lip as he applied some sort of ointment onto his wound, "shit that hurts"

"you're such an idiot" wooseok sighed, pushing his lunch box out of the way, "learn how to take better care of yourself will you?" he took the bottle of ointment from the vampire's hand.

"what're you doing?" jinhyuk muttered, watching as wooseok motioned for him to extend his arm, which he did.

"helping you" wooseok replied, gently placing the cream onto the open cut, "god did someone bite you or something. that looks horrific"

"no shit" jinhyuk gritted his teeth to refrain himself from letting out a pathetic 'ow'.

"you only have fights with vampires don't you?" wooseok asked, grabbing the bandage from across the table and began to wrap up the older's arm.

"well i wouldn't hurt a defenseless human" jinhyuk deadpanned as he rolled his eyes, "mind your own business prez"

wooseok pouted, "i'm supposed to know stuff about students y'know"

"well you've known enough about me" jinhyuk muttered, eyeing the lunchbox on his left side, "is that your lunch?"

wooseok nodded, even though he was still pouting, "i asked my mom to pack two for me since i'm tutoring you"

with his other arm, he pushed the lunchbox towards him and took a bite out of it. wooseok, who was finishing up wrapping his arm had his mouth wide open, "jinhyuk! that's mine!"

"mmm its good" he replied with a mouthful of rice. he looked at the president who puffed his cheeks out and chuckled, "you want some?"

"that's mine you stupid vampire" wooseok murmured, opening his mouth for jinhyuk to feed him a piece of meat. did his heart just skip a beat?

"well i just got into a fight and i didn't eat lunch" jinhyuk was about to put another mouthful of rice into his mouth when wooseok grabbed the chopsticks and put the rice into his mouth, "hey!"

"that's my meal anyways" wooseok exclaimed, taking back his lunchbox, "you've had enough already. i didn't even get a bite before i had to tend to your arm"

jinhyuk clicked his tongue, "well then you shouldn't have left me to do it alone"

"i just wanted to help" wooseok mumbled under his breath, looking down at his meal, "i can ask my mom to pack me another one tomorrow for you"

jinhyuk's heart fluttered? that was the first kind thing he heard from the president's mouth. maybe he did really care for him. so what? he's just going to leave him again like everyone else does.

"whatever" jinhyuk shrugged, taking out his english packet and holding his pencil in his right hand, "teach me"

even though jinhyuk's voice was cold and demanding, wooseok could tell there was something different about the way he spoke to him. he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
