The last bell of the day rang and sighed came from almost ever student in the room.

The day seemed to last forever even if in reality it was only eight hours.

Jeongin stood from his desk with hyunjin and jisung following. They'd gotten lucky and gotten all of their classes together except for one where jeongin had a different class.

They began walking to their lockers to grab their bags as jisung and hyunjin chatted and jeongin was replying to a text.

Channie

Text me when school is
over and I'll come pick you
up okay?

Delivered at: 1:56 PM

He felt bad for not answering the text until now but his last few teachers had a no phone rule in their class so he really couldn't.

Jeongin

The last bell just rang

I'll wait for you outside

They all made it to their lockers and began opening them while still chatting through the loud hallway.

"I think that chemistry will be the one class that's gonna kick my ass," Jisung said as he swung the metal door open.

"Hyung, chemistry won't even be that hard.. I'll help you with it!" Jeongin said happily as he joined the conversation.

"Okay," The boy began shoving books into his bag and glanced at his friend "do you need a ride home?"

"I don't think so, channie said he's gonna come and pick me up.. Thank you though"

Jisung and hyunjin closed their lockers almost simultaneously and turned to jeongin

"Are you sure he's actually going to show or is he going to leave you here until minho and I come pick you up?"

Jeongins heart skipped a few beats but not in a good way. He'd never even thought of chan not coming to pick him up and leave him here. It was something he could see him doing now that they were fighting and he had a job.

Jeongins phone buzzed in his pocket and he pulled it out

Channie

Omw now, cutie

"He's on his way now," Jeongin said and turned his phone to his friends so they could see.

They both read the message and glanced at each other. It was good jeongin didn't see as he was texting chan back that he'd be outside.

"Let's go, hyungs" Jeongin put his phone back into his pocket and began walking towards the door after shutting his locker door.

They made their way out of the (still) loud hallways and outside into the warm weather that was starting to cool because of the approaching autumn.

A honk caught their attention as they looked over to see minho in his car and frantically waving at the boys.

"He looks like a little kid who just saw Santa,"

"Well Lord knows that kids on the naughty list," Jisung joked and waved back with a small smile "actually this is the first day we've been apart in almost a month so it was kind of hard for him I guess,"

Jeongin felt a pang of jealousy rushe through him upon those words.

"Well we should get going, angel" Jisung turned to jeongin and smoothed down his hair before giving him a giant hug.

The younger didn't know why he gave him such a big and tight hug when he normally only did so when something was wrong but accepted it anyways.

"I love you, jeongin" He said after a moment

"I love you too sungie! But I can't breathe"

"Right.." He said with an awkward laugh and pulled back a bit

"I love you jinnie," The youngest said before wrapping his arms around the tallest who in turn did the same.

"Love you too, innie," He replied with a smile and pulled away from the hug.

"We'll see you tomorrow! Let me know if you need a ride okay?" Jisung said as he stepped away from the boy and to minhos car.

"Okay!" They waved until they climbed into the car and drove away from the curb and off in the opposite direction of the school.

Jisung watched as jeongin got smaller both when he sat down on the fence and at the increasing distance. It reminded him of when they were little, when jeongin would wave goodbye to him until he couldn't see him anymore and then sit outside until he couldn't see the Hans family car anymore.

When the younger was fully out of sight jisung turned back around in his seat.

"Did you talk to hyunjin?" Minho asked and glanced at the boy in the backseat.

"Yeah.. We still don't know what to do," Jisung replied softly. He was feeling quite hungry at the moment but really refrained from grabbing the chips in his bag.

He didn't want to eat like he normally did because he was trying to lose some weight so one day he'd be confident enough to take off his shirt in front of minho.

The rest of the ride was pretty quiet until they pulled up to hyunjins house and they bid their goodbyes to him as well and began driving towards minhos house.

"School fucking sucks why can't I just be a drop out like you?" Jisung asked quietly and sighed

"Well there has to be at least one smart person in this relationship right?"

"Hey you're plenty smart!"

"I dropped out like four years ago, jisung and each year I get more dumb,"

"Not true at all.. Don't talk bad about yourself, min.. I think you're very smart,"

"Then don't talk bad about yourself either,"

"My situations different.."

"How so?"

The boy went quiet as he bit at his lip.

"Because yours isn't physical!" Jisung raised his voice a bit

"Jisung listen to me. If we have to have this fucking fight for the rest of our lives we will," Minho raised his voice as well "you just need to understand that I love you because you're jisung! Now please just stop looking down on your body because it's really start to affect me too.."

"Why because you see it as well?"

Minho chuckled a bit and rested back in his seat as he grabbed jisungs hand and kept the other on the wheel.

"No, because I hate seeing you so damn sad about it all the time! I hate that I can't even see my boyfriend naked sometimes.. I just want to love every part of you but this makes it so hard,"

"I'm sorry, min.. I'm trying I really am," Jisungs eyes just about welled with tears because he had no idea that his thoughts of himself could affect someone else.

The car went quiet again and jisungs stomach rumbled.

It was still quiet as jisung just desperately hoped Minho didn't hear.

"...You know I love you right?" The older asked.

This was the moment jisungs eyes welled with tears because he thought that this was it..

"You're not breaking up with me are you..?" He asked, his voice already choked up.

Hey guys!

If by chance updates don't come in the next few days I have to go to the hospital because there's like a 90% chance that I have appendicitis. They're going to diagnose it today and hopefully it's something else and I won't have to get surgery :))

I love you guys so much! Make sure to stay healthy and happy! 💕☺
