While the conversation was flowing Jake's mind had been working out how he would write the final part of his English essay before it had to be handed in at the start of the first lesson. Thoughts on paragraph structure and concluding arguments were melted away by the site of the naked Sunghoon before him.
Jake's eyes were drawn to how Sunghoon's muscles looked on full display - how each move caused them all to work in synchronisation. Jake knew he was jealous over the greater definition his friend. He looked with envy at the body before him.
After probably a little over a fraction of a second Jake snapped his mind to attention. Narrowing its focus to purer thoughts. "So I was thinking, for Gi and Jungkook's date - how about next week?"
Sunghoon turned to him, drying the water from his chest. "That sounds good, did you have a day in mind?"
"Uhhh," Jake struggled to think and maintain eye contact with his friend, "maybe after rehearsals on Tuesday?"
"Sure, I'll ask Gi." Sunghoon went over to his clothes and bag, tossing his towel onto a bench whilst going to his phone.
Jake felt his heart race, Sunghoon's distraction gave him a moment of respite. He liked Sunghoon and didn't want to make the situation weird by displaying any awkwardness. 'Act natural' Jake ordered himself. He chucked his towel by his clothes and went to put on his boxer shorts. Truth be told it was much easier to dress if one was unafraid about being seen. Awkwardly pulling on one's clothes from under a towel was undignified and cumbersome.
"She says she's free!" Sunghoon declared. He had been keeping his eyes locked on his phone's screen although he was ostensibly facing Jake whilst he changed. Despite the auspice of focus, Jake was wise enough to recognise the range of peripheral vision and thus felt that he had been watched. "You have asked Jungkook right?" Sunghoon asked as he begun to dress himself.
"I have, he's got a pretty erratic schedule but as long as I pin him down he should be good." Jake said, buttoning his shirt and feeling his heart racing.

'Jaeyun' had told Sunghoon that he had needed to finish some homework. They ate their packed breakfast quickly before getting into class earlier enough for his friend to finish his assignment. Sunghoon took his seat and opened up his phone to give him something to stare at.
He was feeling happy and confident. 'Jaeyun' had not just said nothing in sight of his nakedness but he had gone so far as to join him. Being able to be in that state without any sexual implications, direct ones at least, eased Sunghoon's mind. He had never met anyone he was comfortable enough to be like that with - the feelings in him were confusing, partly because they were new and partly because they felt like they had been missing. Despite achieving success in breaching of boundaries, Sunghoon knew he had no idea what his next step would be.
Sunghoon realised there was nothing to look at on his phone. Leaning back on his chair he stared blankly out of the window, past where 'Jaeyun' was sat so he could switch between views. Like most days the morning was overcast and there was little to be seen beyond the flow of pupils coming to school and the traffic beyond them. He was not expecting anything to catch his eye but then he spotted a figure he recognised.
Heeseung's girlfriend Youngsoon was stood behind a tree, she wasn't alone. Her location was discreet and would avoid the observation of all the students arriving through the main gate. Sunghoon only saw her as she was hidden along the same trajectory as 'Jaeyun', albeit considerably further away. Sunghoon slammed his hand down on his desk causing the working 'Jaeyun' to stop what he was doing.
