☺︎︎ Chapter Twelve

"Lucas hyung!" Jeno calls out, slamming his locker door shut with a loud sound, resulting the people around him to flinch.

He didn't notice yet, as he was too busy getting the said elder boy's attention away from the vending machine nearby.

Lucas finally acknowledged him and smiled, quickly grabbing his can of Coke he had just gotten from the vending machine before approaching the younger boy.

"Hey, Jen." He greets, opening his soda can with a pop as some of the liquid fizzled to the top, spilling a bit on his hand and onto the floor. "Shit." He cussed.

"Please clean that up, Mr. Wong." A teacher said, passing by them without a single glance but still had to call the basketball player out.

"Yes, ma'am." Lucas replied drowsily, feeling embarrassed especially with his soda still fizzling.

Jeno reaches behind him, unzipping his backpack and taking out a few tissues. "Here," he hands out. "I bring some just in case Bongsik's fur got stuck in my clothes and I inhale them."

"Thanks." With a smile, Lucas takes it with his unoccupied hand and cleans up the mess on his other one, before proceeding to kneel down and wipe the floor.

It's not much of a mess, just a few droplets, but still. It can be risky.

Throwing the used and soaked tissue into the nearby trashcan, Lucas finally takes a sip on his (thankfully) slightly cold beverage, ending it with a satisfied sigh.

"Oh yeah, what did you need?" He asked, coming back to realization that Jeno had called him for something, and that something was probably not getting embarrassed by him in the school hallways.

"Is Jaemin waiting at the back of the building?" The brunet tilts his head to the side, eyes filled with excitement and hope.

Lucas couldn't help but coo at the sight of Jeno's soulmate mark. His dream soulmate mark.

It wasn't a secret to the basketball team about their captain's best friend having such hope and wonders to find his fated partner.

So he's not surprised to see Jeno being.... Jeno.

Although, he is still wondering why the younger boy didn't seem scared or bothered about his in-denial of a soulmate. Especially after what happened yesterday.

Is he really not bothered to see Jaemin? After landing a punch on his eye (leaving said soulmate mark), being kind of an asshole towards him, pushing him away?

"Yeah..." Lucas drawls, gulping down his drink and asking again, "do you want to see him?" Carefully watching the younger's reaction.

The brunet smiled, "yes please." He answered confidently. Seemingly firm as well, making Lucas can't help but question.

"Are you not bothered he was an asshole towards you? Not just yesterday but... So far... You know?" He pursed his lips, hesitant about his question. Not wanting to upset the younger.

Jeno shook his head with a small 'mm-mm' and shrugged his shoulders. "Why would I be bothered?" He asked, genuinely confused.
