School is boring. Especially history classes. Currently, Jaemin has his elbow on his desk as his chin is rested on his palm while his history class is going on.

He's so sleepy, he wants to go home to lay down on the comfort of his soft bed. He sighs and leans back, putting his hand down to rest it on his thigh.

He looks at the analog clock pressed against the wall and watches it as the second hand moves through the clock. He impatiently waits for the minute hand to reach the number 12.

Why is it so slow?

"I want to eat now." He hears his seatmate whispers and he turns to him.

"I want to sleep." he whispers back.

"Let's eat while sleeping."

He presses his lips together and covers his mouth with his palm as he prevents himself from laughing because of what his seatmate just said. His seatmate grins and resists the urge to laugh, too.

"What the fuck!" he mumbles and lays his head on his desk instead.

During lunch break, Jaemin sits at the table in the canteen. He opens the container where his lunch is in, which his mom made for him.

He picks up the egg sandwich and is about to bite on it when he hears someone approaching him.

"Jaemin-ah!"

"Renjun-ah!" He puts down his lunch and greets his bestfriend with a hug.

Renjun sits across him and puts down his vanilla smoothie on the table. "Hey, hey, your boyfriend said he's coming with us on Saturday."

"Really? That's great! I don't want to feel like a thirdwheel." Jaemin laughs and picks his sandwich up again then finally, he bites on it.

Renjun sips on his smoothie before talking again. "Did you and Jeno talk last night?"

Jaemin shakes his head, "No. I slept early. I bet he slept early too."

"Ah." Renjun just nods and continues to sip on his smoothie. "So, how are you, Jaeminnie?" he speaks again.

Jaemin pauses a bit before replying. "I met my dad's boyfriend last night. He's nice." Renjun just nods again. "Also, my parents are divorcing so that my dad and his boyfriend can get married."

"Oh." Renjun looks at him softly. "Are you okay with it, though?"

"I guess, I'm fine with it. They will finally have the freedom that they want."

"Aren't you sad about it?"

Jaemin sighs, "A bit. But I have to get used to it. Besides, it won't change the fact that they're soulmates and they're still my parents. I want them to be happy for themselves as much as they want me to be happy for myself." He smiles. It's not a wide smile but Renjun knows it's real.

"You're a strong person, Jaeminnie. I'm proud of you." Renjun caresses his hand.

He chuckles slightly, "Thank you, Renjunnie." He finally bites again on his sandwich. "How about you? How's your life going?"

"Good. Just the usual but I quite contented. Especially because I get to spend time with Haechannie almost everyday. He's such a sweet person, I love him so much!" Renjun then giggles.

Jaemin laughs. "I hope I can spend time with Jeno just as often. We only call each other at night when he's free."

"Aww, that's fine. That's why the four of us are hanging out on Saturday so that you two can also spend time together." Renjun sips on his smoothie. "I'm so excited!"

"I just wish our professors don't give out bunch of homeworks. I swear, I'm going to breakdown."

"Ugh, I hate homeworks."

They both laugh before continuing on their lunches.

When Jaemin takes a turn to the street where his house is located, he felt someone following him. He gulps and walks faster.

As soon as Jaemin reaches the front of his house, he immediately steps forward and is about to open the door but a hand suddenly grabs his waist.

He screams and turns around to punch the person, but gasps and stops himself when he sees who is it. "Oh my God, Jeno! You scared me! I thought you're some random stranger who wants to kidnap me."

Jeno laughs and hugs him even tighter. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to surprise you."

Jaemin pouts, "Don't do that again, okay? I swear, I was about to punch you. Next time, tell me if you're coming to visit me."

"Okay, okay, love. I'm really sorry." Jeno grins.

Jaemin giggles, "Fine, you're forgiven." He kisses him on the cheek. "Let's go inside?" Jeno just nods and lets go of his waist.

He finally opens the door and they steps inside. They put down their bags on the couch and then sit next to each other.

"Hey, Mom, I'm home! I'm with Jeno." Jaemin announces.

Just few seconds later, his mom gets out of the bathroom to meet them in the living room. "Hi there, you two! Have you eaten?"

He shakes his head, "Not yet."

"Alright, just wait here and I'm going to cook dinner. Jeno-ssi, always feel free at home."

Jeno bows, "Thank you, auntie."

Jaemin stares at his boyfriend and smiles fondly. The older notices and smiles back at him.

"You're so handsome, Jeno."

It was so sudden that Jeno can't help but to blush. "Ah, Jaemin-ah!"
