part eleven:

Jay was off to the side fixing his uniform. It was just a few minutes before class would begin and he had run into a big crowd of students rushing towards their classes. His uniform was a bit messy now and somehow his hair was a little bit out of place.

"Please you look so stupid" Ni-ki laughed and pointed at the older who was struggling to keep his hair in place. The seven were off to the side, outside, waiting for the bell to ring. Without a mirror, Jay couldn't quite tell if what he was doing was helping his appearance out but it seemed to be an amusing show to watch.

Jungwon stood up from the bench and walked over to Jay, immediately reaching for his tie first. His face was really close to Jay's, his heart was beating very quickly. "You really are a mess hyung" Jungwon giggled and went to fix his blazer next. "Come I'll help you fix it" Jay nodded with a blush before going to bend down a little so Jungwon could reach up to help out.

"Did they fix their problems? Jungwon seems friendly with Jay again" Sunghoon pointed out. Jake and Heeseung who sat beside him both turned towards the two at the same time before turning back to the younger. "Maybe they did. Jungwon is smiling at him again so it must mean something happened" Sunoo seemed excited as he clapped his hands, shaking Ni-ki slightly.

"How'd your hair get tossed around this much?" Jungwon laughed again and reached up to the older's black hair. He smoothed out the hairs at the front of his face which rested on his forehead, carefully pushing down to tame them. It was a little hard and took some time before his hair was presentable but Jay knew for sure, his cheeks were definitely red. Jungwon let out a little hum before backing away with a smile. "Done!" "Th—Thanks Jungwon"

"What's going on between you and Jay hyung?" Sunoo asked with a little smirk. Heeseung sat beside the two younger males with a little laugh escaping his mouth. "Why did I predict that Sunoo would be the first to bring this up." Jungwon laughed as well and began to fiddle with his fingers. He did this a lot when he was nervous. So basically whenever Jay is around or if the topic is about Jay.

It was hard to talk about this because Jungwon wasn't quite sure how he felt for Jay. He knew that he definitely didn't think of him as just a friend but he also didn't know what he wanted to become with Jay. Did he want to date him? Did he just like the company that Jay had to offer? Jungwon didn't want to say something about his feelings that weren't completely true. He was still figuring it out for himself

"I don't know to be completely honest" Jungwon sighed out, crossing a leg over the other. Sunoo hummed and went to rest a hand on his shoulder, massaging it softly. "I'm still a little bit confused about my feelings. I would tell you guys how I feel but I don't even know" Jungwon bit his lip. Heeseung looked at the younger with a concerned expression before going to grab his arms reassuringly. "Don't rush it Jungwon, everything will fall into place just the way it's meant to be"

"I think my mother is home today, are you sure that you are comfortable enough?" Jay asked and tilted his head. Because they had hung out at Jungwon's house a few times, the thought that the younger had never met his family ran through his head a few times. And because he knew his mother would be home from work, Jay found this to be a great opportunity to do so.
