hot and cold - nct, jaedo

♨ 11 ❄

"thanks for your attention and see you in two weeks, after a well-deserved holiday!" the strategy teacher exclaimed as the classroom full of demons – and one human – were already happily leaving the hell hole that was school to enjoy their holiday.

the last ones to leave the classroom were – as usual – jaehyun, yuta and doyoung.

"finally!" yuta exclaimed. "i feel like i've been waiting all year for these holidays!"

"stop exaggerating." jaehyun rolled his eyes. "it wasn't that horrible thanks to doyoung's company." he added, wrapping an arm around the human's shoulders.

doyoung blushed slightly at the sudden proximity.

both the heat radiating from the demon's body and the feeling of his heartbeat accelerating were the cause of it, but he would never admit the second one.

"what are we going to do during the holiday?" doyoung asked, hoping to change the subject and make his cheeks go back to a normal colour.

"what do you mean?" jaehyun raised a brow.

"like... are you going to come and get me in the morning like we do when there's school?"

"no... we can't. it's the holiday." yuta replied.

"but why?" doyoung asked, unintentionally pouting.

"we can't keep you here forever. you need to spend some time with your friends and family." jaehyun explained, patting the pouting human's head.

next to them, yuta opened the portal doyoung was now so familiar with.

"we'll be back in two weeks, though. on monday morning, when we'll all go back to school." yuta specified.

doyoung nodded to his dismay and walked towards the magical gate that was allowing him to see the cold and blue décor of his bedroom.

"goodbye, doyoung." yuta waved at him.

"bye." doyoung threw him a small smile before looking at jaehyun.

he was standing a bit behind yuta, looking deeply at the human who was about to leave him for two weeks.

doyoung couldn't hear it, but jaehyun's heart was beating at a fast pace in his ribcage, and a void could already be felt there, the void that doyougn would create by leaving him for two long weeks.

they had been together all day long for more than a month.

they had grown fond of each other.

and they were about to leave each other.

nor forever, but still.

"see you soon, doyoung." jaehyun said, a sad smile appearing on his face.

"see you soon." doyoung replied before stepping inside the portal.

he was back inside his bedroom.

for two long weeks.

he had left this world full of demons.

he had left this red sky.

he had left these different people.

he had left the constant heat.

he had left his new routine.

but most importantly, he had left jaehyun.
