29: School project

Sorry if you guys were waiting for an update earlier. I've just been really tired lately and sleeping a lot, I'll still try updating once a week, but there's no specific schedule.

I don't think this chapter needs a warning, but there's a lot of 'female' clothing, and also a lot of talk about gender, if that's something that makes you uncomfortable.

And I also feel like I should clarify that Hongjoong is about 167cm tall, just 5cm shorter than he actually is, it doesn't really matter otherwise, but he'll wear heels later and he's supposed to be tiny, so he can't get too tall with the heels on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was Monday again, and Hongjoong was definitely not looking forward to the week at school this time. Don't get him wrong, he still loves designing and enjoys going to school a lot more these days, minus the long and boring train journey, which he always spends trying not to fall asleep. But this time he had to stay away from his boyfriend, possibly for the whole week until they could see again. 

Hongjoong's third class for the day was design, his favorite. The class started with all of the students continuing their previous project, which had to be finished by the end of the week. The teacher had also told them at the beginning of today's lesson that they would be given another project, to finish by next Monday, although the second assignment was to be done at home.

Hongjoong needed some pearls for the jacket he was making. Thankfully he was already done with the jacket part, only needing to decorate it for now. He could easily get it done before Friday. He was currently trying to reach the shelf where he knew the pearls were, his fingertips barely brushing the box. His frustration probably showed through in his scent, especially now that he had used Yeosang's unscented soap. 

"Do you need help?" A deep voice asked him from above. 

Hongjoong felt an uncomfortable shiver run down his spine as he looked up and saw an Alpha staring down at him hungrily, biting his lips and clearly checking Hongjoong out. 

"Uh, yeah." Hongjoong admitted anyway, after trying to reach the object one more time, and only managing to push it farther. 

The Alpha easily reached the box and offered it to him. 

"Thanks." Hongjoong accepted the item from the Alpha. 

"No problem." He said and left, but not before biting his lips suggestively and winking.

'Ew.' Hongjoong thought. 'But at least I got this…'

It was nearing the end of the class and the teacher had started explaining the new assignment to them. Hongjoong was listening in while individually sewing pearls onto the front of the jacket. 

Apparently the assignment was to choose someone, doesn't matter who, as a model and create an outfit for them. 

A lot of his classmates had started pairing up, asking if they could use each other as the model but Hongjoong already had someone in mind, as long as he would agree. If not, then he'll have to come up with something else.

"Mingi? Can you lend your body to me for a bit?" Hongjoong asked as soon as he came home and spotted the other. 

"What? Why?"

"I have a school project and I need a model."

"Why me?"

"Because you're tall and you have a great body, and I don't think the others can pull off what I have in mind."

"What do you have in mind then?"
