LOWKEY

The judgment for the two isn't that heavy that it would probably be unfair to the public eyes, though the whole process was done privately, and parents of both parties are willing to compensate.

Mark had gone to many tests deemed advisable. The student's parents also requested a test for STDs, and both are thankfully negative.

It lasted for two weeks, though Hayoung's parents pulled their daughter out of the school, and Mark's job was retained.

So when the teacher showed up on campus, the entire group of students was surprised.

Some still hated him, and some were loyal enough to stand by him and say it's all just a fake rumor.

And when the three friends knew about this, they immediately huddled up.

"Don't go near him," Jeno and Renjun unexpectedly said in unison, like they shared one brain cell.

"You don't need to scold me," Eula huffed. "I think no one would either."

"Hormonal teens would." Renjun sassed and nudged the younger male's shoulder. "Cuff her in you if she would."

"Stop mentioning that," she grimaced.

The Chinese automatically zipped his mouth when Jeno glared at him.

"Jun, I think you should go. You need to break the other's canvas for us."

"I will!" the art student beamed and ruffled her hair. "When everything's fine, can we, you know, tell the squad about you three?" he pouted. "I can't handle the pressure of secrecy any more. Hyuck is bugging me a lot whenever I'll go with you two privately."

"Jealous, I see..." Jeno teased, shooting red hues to the Chinese's cheeks.

"Anyways, can we? I know you will agree either way." he spoke with a menacing grin. "I better go. Jenjen, you know what to do!"

"Aye, small person!"

With the Chinese seething, it made the two laugh.

"So," Jeno started, gaining the girl's attention. "I really think you will go everywhere with me."

"Even in the ladies room?"

He scoffed, "I will be guarding outside if possible."

"Then wouldn't it create juicy tea between us?"

"Let them. They already thought so. Don't even think about lying just to see him."

"I won't!"

Jeno shot a brow, making the girl sigh, and gave in to her thoughts.

"I admit I was worried, but he's back, so I guess everything's fine," she shrugged.

"It doesn't matter if you're worried or you still like him, but what concerns me right now is you and him being alone."

He was cut off with a peck on the lips, automatically freezing him.

"You're rambling; I'm with you now," she chuckled.

Jeno clicked his tongue, mentally arguing with himself about a single contact from her that affected him so much.
