11. jeongguk's daddy

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

jeongguk handed yugyeom's phone back to him after punching in his phone number. "so how come were you with them? aren't we in the same year?" he queried.

"oh, yeah, there was a quick football team meeting earlier and well... joshua is everywhere, as always." yugyeom said.

"oh." jeongguk replied shortly.

"so it's true then?" yugyeom asked, putting down his bottle of coke on floor when he heard the thumping noises of the bottles of drinks jeongguk just bought.

"what is?" jeongguk was about to bend down to grab the stuffs from the pick-up box but yugyeom beat him to it and carried them for him.

yugyeom didn't answer his question, "to your class?" he offered, referring to the bottles in his hands.

"oh nah, you don't have to, eunwoo will be here in a bit." jeongguk objected.

"well.. i could accompany you until he gets here?" yugyeom insisted, flashing a smile that showcased his pearly white teeth before walking past jeongguk, towards the staircase. "i was super bored in class."

"okay.." jeongguk watched the taller male silently as he put down the three bottles on the fifth step and sat down on the third step.

he joined the other male, sitting on the same step with a respectable gap between them. "what period is it for you?"

"maths." yugyeom said, leaning back against the concrete steps and man-spreading his longs legs. "anyway, do you live nearby or?"

"kinda i guess? i live in seongbuk-dong, street number 8." jeongguk poked a hole with a straw on lid of the tiny bottle of banana milk.

"oh really? that's awfully close to taehyung's house." yugyeom stated. "been there for a party."

"i didn't know that." jeongguk stared down at his feet, inspecting his seemingly perfectly all black shoes for any sign of dirtiness.

"i thought he took you to his house the other day to help him out?" he questioned with simple directness.

"nah, that was a joke." jeongguk shook his head, feeling a little embarrassed at the recollection of the event. "this sounds like bs but we never actually fucked." he said confessingly.

"i see..." yugyeom trailed off in quiet amusement for a second. jeongguk turned to look at him, low-key thought he had finally found someone who believed him.

"well it's interesting." yugyeom turned to jeongguk, squinting his eyes at the pretty boy in wonder.

setting his banana milk securely on cold concrete, jeongguk blinked his hopeful eyes at the other male, "what is?"

"how both of you are so in denial, and for what? okay, you guys fucked, several times. what about it?" yugyeom spoke up and the entirety of jeongguk's hopes were lost in the midst of it. he unconsciously pouted, fiddling with his fingers in disappointment.

"literally many of us here in this school have had sex, multiple times with the same person without having a relationship with them, fuckbuddies, basically." yugyeom said reassuringly. "it's really not a big deal."
