"Yangyang, how many times do I have to say I don't like you?" Renjun huffed, getting up from the bench near the exit. "And stop following me!"

The said guy still followed him until they reached the school gate. "Until you like me back."

"Keep dreaming." he rolled his eyes, crossing his arms against his chest.

"Oh, come on, I've been courting you for months now. Give your heart a chance." Yangyang grinned.

"Stop wasting your time. I'll never like you."

"Ouch, it hurts." Yangyang held his own chest, faking his sad expression. He moved closer to the older and tried to kiss him but fortunately, Renjun was fast to avoid him and slapped him.

"Renjun—" Before Yangyang approached him, someone punched his suitor's face, resulting him to fall on the ground.

"What the heck!" Renjun widened his eyes and looked at the person. "Why did you punch him?" he asked, his voice a bit loud.

"He's harassing you!" the person replied.

"I already slapped him. You didn't need to punch him."

Other students were watching them and gossiping. Some were pulling their phones out of their pockets and typing something on the screen.

Yangyang got up, holding his jaw. "It's f-fine, I probably deserved that."

"See? He even thinks he deserved that." the person chuckled.

Renjun rolled his eyes and started to walk away. The guy who punched Yangyang followed him, walking next to him.

"Hey, aren't you going to thank me?"

"I don't see any reason for me to thank you. You did it yourself, I didn't ask for any help or something."

"How rude of you, Renjun." the guy said, clicking his tongue.

"How did you know my name?" Renjun asked, eyebrows furrowed.

"Well, I heard Yangyang say your name."

"You knew him?"

The guy shook his head, "No. I heard you calling his name, too."

"Were you stalking me?" He only received a shrug. "I don't have time for suitors, please. So, while it's early, distance yourself from me and don't waste your time on me."

"Wow!" The guy laughed, "Who said I'm going to court you?" He playfully rolled his eyes. "Well, if you don't want to thank me, that's fine, then. I'm leaving now, have a nice day." He winked.

Renjun rolled his eyes again, shaking his head. He watched as the guy crossed to the other side of the road. After that, he even gave him a flying kiss and Renjun pretended to vomit.

He continued his day by ignoring him and walking himself to his house.

The next day, when he entered the school gate, he saw the guy by the bench, a lollipop in his mouth. He furrowed his eyebrows and didn't mind him, just continued to walk to his classroom because he was getting late already.

While walking, he suddenly thought of something. If he himself was already late and the guy's still at the bench, so that means he was cutting class? He shook his head and mentally slapped himself. Why would he care, anyway?

"Hi, Renjun."

He stopped at the door. Great, he's classmates with Yangyang. He rolled his eyes and walked pass him.

He realized that their professor hasn't come to the room yet. He sighed of relief. At least he's not the only one who's late.

"Everyone, our first subject professor is going to be absent today. You can prepare for our next class or eat your breakfast if you haven't." their class representative suddenly announced.

By that, he sighed. He got up from his seat and walked towards the door. He was about to step outside when he was called upon.

"Where are you going?" Yangyang asked.

"None of your business." Renjun annoyedly replied, finally exiting their classroom.

He walked to the library and when he got inside, he pulled out his ID from his wallet and tapped it on the system just by the entrance.

He took a good couple of minutes finding a book before he left the shelves to find a great seat. He then found a vacant seat at the corner of the library and decided to just sit there. He stared at the book cover for a second before opening it.

While he was peacefully reading, someone decided to sit across him and tapped the table, loud enough for Renjun to hear.

He stopped and turned to his front, only to be greeted by a grinning face. "Hello, Renjun!" the guy whispered.

"Of all the places, you decided to go here?" He pursed his lips.

"Coincidence, don't you think?" The guy smirked. "By the way, I'm Haechan. Can I sit here with you?"

"Whatever. Just don't disturb me." Then, Renjun went back to reading.

Haechan stared at him, pulling a lollipop out of his pocket. He opened it using his mouth and put the wrapper back in his pocket. He then put the candy part of the lollipop in his mouth, his eyes never leaving Renjun.

The latter stopped reading again, sighing exasperatedly. He looked at Haechan and creased his forehead. "Are you not reading the signs? Food and beverages are not allowed here." he whispered in an annoyed manner.

Continuing to suck his lollipop, Haechan shook his head dumbfoundedly. "You're pretty, so pretty, Renjun." he softly said.

"Shut up." Renjun bit his lower lip and looked down at the book. He started to read again, brushing off what Haechan just told him.
