"What was that about?"
Jaemin looked over at his friend with confusion as he shuffled through some books in his bag, the cold wind brushing through the bench covered in holes and chilling him. "What was what about? And why are you talking to me?"
Jeno groaned, gripping Jaemin's wrist as he pulled the boy out of the public circle full of other students, trying his best to be discreet.
"Look," Jeno started, "I know we aren't supposed to be seen together at school but I needed to talk to you. Why were you holding her earlier?"
Jaemin's confusion grew as he stared back at his best friend. "Who- oh, Eun-" he stopped himself from saying the girl's name. "She ran into me, looked like she was about to faint so I took her up to Sooyeon."
Jaemin looked around the secluded area, noticing a few of the students whispering as they looked away from the two boys.
"They're gonna connect the dots, Jeno. Give me one of your literature textbooks."
It was now Jeno's turn to be confused, his eyebrows drawing down in confusion. "One of my textbooks? What, why?"
Jaemin clicked his tongue, shaking his head, "so it looks like you're making me do your homework or something, genius."
"Why would I-"
"Jeno, I am not wearing my jacket, if you didn't notice. It's hard enough not getting to be with you and the others throughout the day and I do not need my medical career to be damaged because of our image."
Jeno huffed in annoyance, reaching into his side backpack to pull out one of his textbooks. He shoved it towards Jaemin but not too hard, Jaemin doing most of the work as he fell to the ground.
Jeno's immediate response was to try and reach towards him, asking if he was okay. Jaemin just barely glared at him in time, Jeno switching as he realized there were still people around them.
He moved his hand from reaching towards Jaemin and instead grabbed the collar of his button-up shirt, pulling the dark-haired boy up with an apologetic look.
Jaemin continued his act, scurrying to dust himself up and pick Jeno's textbook up. He slightly bowed as he turned to leave, whispering, "I'm fine, go home."
Jeno nodded subtly, fixing his backpack strap and walking away from the corner, his glare piercing through the air as students turned away from him.
He walked with a sort of presence that pushed people away, none of them wanting to come near one of the infamous NCT gang that ran the streets of Neo City.
But it wasn't only his stance or glare that pushed people away, not even the black cross under his left eye. It was really the leather jacket cascading down his back at that made people know to stay away.
Black leather, NCT written in a fancy font in white lettering, a small logo underneath that looked like an R written through a D with an extra line near the bottom.
Jeno walked quickly as he whipped out his phone, sending a message to his group chat to ask if any of his friends were free for lunch together.
It only took a few moments for one of them to message him back.
Renjun: hyuck and i are in the lunchroom. it's empty atm
Jeno read the message and stuffed the phone back in his pocket, ready to at least eat a bit before he was to return home.
He stopped in his tracks when he noticed a certain girl running towards the infirmary, two others running quickly after her.
His breath hitched slightly when he noticed who the three were, sudden flashbacks of when he read about mission #18A3C21 months ago.
He ignored the pained feeling in his chest, trying to keep his breath calm as he carried on walking to the lunchroom.
As he entered, he immediately walked towards the lunch line. The rest of the students quickly got out of his way, the lunch ladies getting whatever he requested ready.
He only wanted a cup of water, no longer having an appetite. After sitting down with the two others, he reached into his bag, pulling out a bottle.
"Aren't those your anxiety meds?" Renjun asked, noticing how hastily Jeno opened the lid and pulled out two pills.
Donghyuck turned towards Renjun, giving him a look that said he'd tell him later.
Jeno sighed as he finally took in another deep breath, calming himself.
