On The Line | Chensung

Sparkling

Jaemin kept poking Jeno's cheek, still trying to get his attention after like ten minutes of no response. Jisung could see Jeno trying not to smile, giggling to himself as Jaemin whined.
"Jenoooooo," he pulled on the boy's shirt, "look at meeeeeee."
Jeno rolled his eyes, looking up to him with a half smile. Jaemin squinted for a moment before his face notably fell. He shut his eyes suddenly, facing down at the table.
"Nana?" Renjun sat up, looking in concern at the pink haired boy, "what's wrong?"
Jaemin slowly raised his hand to his head, mumbling "headache".

Renjun and Jeno both frowned, Renjun rubbing the younger boy's shoulder as Jeno took his hand, running his thumb across his skin. Jisung watched Jaemin move his hand down his face, covering his eyes away in what Jisung guessed was pain. Jisung winced, knowing how gross migraines were, especially in light. He shuddered, instead turning to Donghyuck in front of him.

"Hyung," he called out, Donghyuck looking up and grinning as he made eye contact with the younger.
"What's up, Sung?" he ruffled the younger boy's hair from across the table. Jisung chuckled at the affection, very used to it being the youngest of the whole lot. "I was just wondering how you were."
"Ah," Donghyuck nodded, "I'm doing fine actually, better than I have been in a while." He swayed from side to side, a bounce in his actions reflecting his bubbly mood. Before Donghyuck could even mention it, Jisung knew it was because of his newly acquired boyfriend, the two being the power couple of the century. Who knew there was someone who could put up with Donghyuck's chaotic ass.

Mark was definitely someone special and he seemed really cool, at least in Jisung's eyes. He was a bit awkward, which sometimes didn't help considering Jisung was also incredibly awkward in all sorts of social situations, but he was nice. A person that fit right into the chaos, and they all couldn't wait to see who he'd really be to them.

They didn't really have that with Jaemin though as the boy immediately adopted all of them (excluding Jeno and Renjun) and had become the overly affectionate mother figure in their group. He also happened to be the only other person who could control Donghyuck's lack of impulse control, so that was a major bonus. Jisung had only gotten to know these two for only three or so months, but he was very happy about them.

Chenle on the other hand...

Well Jisung's perspective had obviously changed, he was no longer 'creepy emo kid at the front of the cafeteria' he didn't know. He was now 'creepy emo kid at the front of the cafeteria' that he did know, and that he sat next to, and got to know that, well, he wasn't that scary or creepy as he had led on. This strange weirdo was probably one of the coolest people Jisung had ever got to know, a person he almost adored. He would almost go to the point where he could say that he probably trusted him almost as much as he trusted Jeno, maybe occasionally more. Zhong Chenle was a person he liked to be around. Wouldn't past Jisung look at him now? He'd probably think that he went insane. Maybe he did.

"Ya," Donghyuck flicked the boy's head, Jisung looking up in a fright, "why you red, bitch?"
Jisung blinked, feeling his cheeks and the warmth radiating off them. Damn it, why did this always happen after he'd even contemplate Chenle's existence?
"You got redder!"
"Shut up, Hyuck."
Jisung sank into his seat slightly, prodding at cold noodles. Jaemin seemed to have recovered from his headache as he slid next to Jisung with an almost knowing look, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. Jisung coughed, averting his eyes from him as the elder male started whining at him to tell him. He looked to Chenle beside him, silently asking for help, but the kid simply laughed softly, watching the chaos unfold.

Jisung furrowed his eyebrows, noticing that he could actually confidently say that the boy was watching him. He thought maybe the day before was a fluke, that Chenle had probably just forgotten to put his glasses back on after taking the photograph. But he seemed to just no longer have them on, at least in Jisung's presence.
"Lele, you're not wearing glasses," he tilted his head to the side as he looked at him.
Chenle rolled his eyes, "I know that, dumbass."
"How come?" Jisung honestly just worried something happened. This kid who'd always wear sunglasses even in a dark room wasn't wearing them. Maybe he misplaced it, Jisung reminding himself to maybe go buy a pair for him until he found it.
"Ah I just," Chenle placed his chopsticks down, shrugging as he looked back at him, "I dunno if I need them anymore." He smiled lopsidedly at him, Jisung smiling back with a nod, muttering an "ah" in response before turning back only to be met with Jaemin only a few centimetres away from his face.

"Woah," Jisung jerked his head back, chuckling once he registered what had happened. He quickly checked if he had bumped into Chenle before looking back at his hyung.
Donghyuck giggled quietly, "I get the blush now."
"Huh?" Jisung asked, eyes darting back and forth between Donghyuck and Jaemin's teasing smiles, slowly sinking back in intimidation. He felt Chenle quickly wrap his arm around his waist so that he wouldn't fall backwards as Jaemin came closer and closer. Jisung could feel Chenle shifting back in his own seat as both of them stared in confusion as Jaemin squinted at them cheekily.

"Hm, Jisungie," he tapped his chin, cocking his head with a smirk, "nothing you wanna tell us?"
Jisung shook his head rapidly, looking up at Chenle in confusion. Chenle could only shrug, not understanding himself.
"Aw you sure, Jisungie?" Donghyuck teased as Mark slid beside him, not understanding what the hell was happening. Not like Jisung had any better of a clue. Jeno and Renjun were also staring at them, chuckling, but Jisung knew they probably didn't have that much better of an idea what either of these guys were doing.

Jisung looked back at Jaemin in fear, the older boy giggling again. Jisung could hear the faint ringing of a bell once again, noticing Renjun's head perk up at the sound himself. His eyes darted to Jaemin teasing the younger boy. Jisung was desperately trying to hold himself up as Jaemin poked his sides, laughing and giggling along with Donghyuck.

But unfortunately, Jisung and Chenle both toppled out of their chairs as soon as Jaemin's eyes went pink.
