Tap, tap, tap. Sunghoon pressed the tip of his pencil onto the desk, his left leg bouncing up and down. He was trying his best not to look at Jake who was also doing the same. Ever since they had told each other about what has been on their minds, it was hard to not completely focus on the other. Sunghoon just wanted to be with Jake 24/7 now, biting on his lower lip. But after a few minutes that felt way too long to the younger, he took a glance at Jake who was already looking at him.

"Hi" Jake mouthed with a wave and smile. He was absolutely adorable. Every little thing he did make his heart beat faster and this was no exception, he waved back with a little smile. "Hello," He mouthed back, staring straight into his eyes. Sunghoon wished he could stare into them forever, Jake made him feel at peace. "Mr. Sim, can you please solve this?" The two jolted from surprise, turning to face the front of the classroom quickly. When Sunghoon looked up at the board, he himself had no clue how to solve it let alone where to begin. So he looked at Jake once more with an encouraging look as he stood to go up the board. He did not doubt that the older already knew how to solve it.

But one thing caught him off guard, Mr. Lim went to whisper something to Jake before he could begin. He could tell that he was flustered at this, he was quite intrigued at this. But it wasn't until Mr. Lim came walking down his aisle to whisper something into his ear before he blushed as well. "Please pay attention in class," When he backed away though, he had a little smile on his face, trying his best not to laugh. Sunghoon sighed in relief, he thought that Mr. Lim was going to scold them but his smile told else wise.

The older finished quickly, putting down the marker before walking back to his spot. "Thank you," Mr. Lim smiled, pointing towards the board before glaring at the rest of their classmates. "This class is how you actually do it" Sunghoon looked at the math equation and how he solved it, almost losing his mind when he saw how wrong his answer was. Jake went to sit down beside him, laughing at himself. Sunghoon glanced at him and began to laugh as well.

"See you guys tomorrow!" Sunoo waved, dragging Jungwon and Ni-ki with him. "Bye!" Jake waved back, nudging Sunghoon to wave as well. "What are you guys gonna do?" Sunghoon asked and turned to Jay and Heeseung who was still standing beside them. "We were going to go to this internet cafe for a little bit but we'll see," Heeseung nodded at this answer.

"You guys?" Jay asked back. "I was just going to go home—" "Let's hang out," Sunghoon cut off Jake, smiling down at him. Before the others could say anything the youngest of the four began to drag Jake down the sidewalk and towards the park, waving without looking back at them. "See you guys later I guess!" Jake yelled with a smile, trying to look back although Sunghoon was really content with pulling him along.

"Where are we going?" The older asked, trying his best to keep up. Once they reached the park Sunghoon looked back at him with a cheeky smile. "Sorry I didn't mean to make you run. But I just wanted to spend some time with you," Jake smiled at this, going to sit down on a bench underneath one of the tall trees in front of them. "We see each other every day but I like spending time with you like this," Sunghoon sat beside him and took the older's hand into his own.

They weren't together just yet but they did almost everything you'd find couples doing. Sunghoon wanted to begin to pick things up but he also wanted to make sure that Jake was comfortable enough to continue. It seemed he was comfortable so far so maybe he would try to make more moves. Maybe.

"I can't believe you got bullied when you were younger" Jake mumbled, resting his head on Sunghoon's shoulder. The younger trailed his eyes down to their hands before placing his other hand on Jake's. "And now I see those girls all over you," He glared, giggling right after. "Nothing gets past you," Sunghoon rolled his eyes before laughing as well, tickling Jake's side, hearing Jake laugh even louder.

"Seriously though. Maybe when we're together they'll finally stop sending me gifts," Sunghoon joked, letting go of his hands before wrapped both of his arms around him tightly. "They send you gifts? They're doing the most," Jake leaned into the hug, enjoying the feeling of Sunghoon resting his chin on his shoulder. "It's alright though, you're right here anyways" Sunghoon tried so hard not to plant kisses all over his face, adverting his eyes to resist.

"Hey, Jake?" Sunghoon called out, still holding on tightly to Jake. The older was glad that the park was practically empty, he would be a little bit embarrassed if people were walking around. He still got flustered thinking about how much skinship they had in the past few days. "Hm? What's up?" Jake turned to face Sunghoon.

"Would you like to go on a date sometime soon?" Sunghoon let go of his waist, nervously playing with the little thread that had been hanging from the bottom of his blazer since the morning. "Yeah, I would love to." The older smiled at him, bringing a hand up to fix Sunghoon's tie that was a little bit crooked.

There was a sudden change of expression on Jake's face. It was somewhere between being flustered and happy at the same time. His head looking down at his lap before moving to look back at Sunghoon. "You took my first kiss." The sudden confession left Sunghoon stunned, mouth going agape. "I—I did?" It was so sudden and out of the blue but he had to admit, it made him happy.

"Mhm and my second... and third and even my fourth..." Jake continued on with a teasing tone, "How about your fifth...?" Sunghoon asked slowly, nearing Jake slowly. The younger placed his lips on Jake's again, smiling softly before moving a hair out of his face.

"And my fifth too,"
