His Priority // CHENSUNG //

TWO

He knew he was overreacting, overthinking, overexaggerating and every feeling over the top, but he just couldn't help it.

He couldn't help thinking back to that night a few days back, when Jisung straightforwardly gave Chenle's place to someone else. He was hurt, so hurt he couldn't think anything else.

'Im going insane', he spoke to himself as he laid down on his small bed scattered with blankets and books.

Dried tears painted his face, his lips were chapped, his hair was a mess, his clothes unchanged but most importantly, his heart was was clenched tight.

And then it started again - the waterfall of tears.

'Where did I go wrong?'
'Please, give me an answer so that I can correct it...'
         He would ask himself over and over, but then all of a sudden, he would tell himself to stop being dramatic, and understand that Jisung didn't hold any strong meanings.

But then again, you couldn't blame him. He was just a lonely teenager who had nobody for him, except for his best friend. He was scared he would be left alone again, after being adapted to getting cared for so long.

As his alarm went off at exactly 5, Chenle took a deep breath to silence his sniffs and calm his heart down.

It was another morning. He had already wasted two mornings brooding over the past, now it was time to get back to work.

There was no time to slack off. Jisung could wait.

                                🌻🌻🌻🌻

"Hey Chenle!"

He looked for the voice and the moment he found it, surprise and a bit of nervousness took over him.

'What is he doing in our school?'

He shook his head to dispose off the mean thought and smiled back at the boy.

"Hello Sungchan."

Chenle walked towards the boy and sat in his usual seat, just in front of Jisung.

"Why didn't you attend first class today? You missed my introduction", Sungchan stated sulkily.

It made Chenle giggle. He was adorable for a giant.

"I'm sorry, I woke up late."

"Aye... I was joking. But honestly, I was looking forward to meeting you and Jisung."

'Jisung......'

"Jisung isn't here yet?", he asked trying not to frown.

"Oh don't worry, he's just meeting the principal in regards with his assignment."

"Oh- ok.."

Just then, the said devil arrived.

"Sungchan- ah, I'm back - oh, hey Chenle!"

'He came here first, you were late. Of course, he thought you didn't arrive yet... Don't overthink.'

Chenle forced out a smile, before waving at him.

Only then did he actually notice that Sungchan was sitting beside Jisung.

'Stop it, Zhong Chenle!'

"You alright?"
 
His face flushed at the deep voice so close to his ear. He could feel the hot breath fanning in his ears and it made his heart race.

"I'm -  I'm fine.."

"If anything happens, remember to tell me,
hmm?"

"Yeah."
