Chapter 6

RYU JAEHYUN STILL DID NOT HAVE THE COURAGE TO TRY AND TALK to James on his own accord. Yet he could proudly tell Seohyun he had finally found a person he could talk to without stuttering, and it was not a professor of his favourite subject. He had grown fond of his kind and giving presence to the point that he did not fail to speak without stutters when he moved to the sit that was usually empty all year around. Jaehyun enjoyed listening to James Potter ramble, loving the way he seemed to look at life and everyone in such a positive manner as if they were not growing up in a war. Though it was not more than a small triumph for the Potter boy it was a huge step forward from when they had began.

"You know, I am starting to think you enjoy my company." James teasingly spoke up as he scribbled down whatever stuff had been writen on the chalkboard in front of them. His eyes gazed at him, hoping that the boy had understood his humor and would not immediately shut down, turning back into his rambling state of mind trying to explain himself. Instead Jaehyun widely grinned, it was a genuine grin. James felt blessed by Merlin to have been able to pull such off, the warmth of his smile caught onto the boy who also turned to have a huge grin on his lips.

Jaehyun did not wait to answer like he did usually. You could tell James was ecstatic that the interaction with Malfoy had happened the way it had happened at that exact place and time. He knew otherwise he would still lack more than half the progress he had made trying to get Jaehyun to warm up to him. He was able to call Jaehyun a decent friend, one who he would not be afraid to strike a conversation with. "I could never." Was all he jokingly replied. James looked at him with a astound face, his mouth wide agape as he looked at the boy shocked for the remark. The remaining three Marauders stared unsurely at the duo from the very other end up the class. It confused them, they did not know clearly whether that James enjoyed their prescense or not. Jaehyun still had no idea why that James had originally started being friends with the introvert and Remus was afraid in his heart that the boy would end up in a depression if the year ended.

James let his famous bright smile light up their shared table and acted offended. "You have shattered me Jaehyun!" He exclaimed dramatically, Jaehyun laughed in his face, his eyes closing slightly as he let his dimples be shown in the heartfelt laughs. James commended the boy for a few seconds, feeling accomplished as he realized he had succeeded. Jaehyun was his friend, no more running away from conversations, no more turning shy and shutting down in front of him. His grin reached his eyes, he could not have been more proud of himself. Seohyun would love it that I am friends with Jaehyun! Maybe I could talk to him again today..

Wait, no! Why was he thinking like this? His prior focus was getting Jaehyun to like him so Seohyun would know he was not a horrible person and knew how to get on with people. He had no idea why he was thinkng about Seohyun this time and like that out of everything. He should be infatuated with Lily, he had always loved Lily for the so many years he had spent pining after her! James could not figure himself out as to why his mind was spinning around the boy two years above him, the boy who had always been his Quidditch captain since he had started his journey on the team.

Of course he remembered the times in second year that his eyes lingered onto the very attractively toned and abbed body of his captain who was a mere fourth year when he had been chosen as captain. The way his eyes had gazed over the pecks, but that was mere admiration. He just wanted to have such a nice body like him, of course! Young James had always tried his best for Seohyun, he was his captain after all, of course he used to suck up to him as a child. He just enjoyed his prescense more than others, he did not seek any other attention than validation from his idol! He could not possibly have anything more than admiration for his senior. James had always loved Lily, the second his eyes had fallen onto her beautiful features. He liked that she was smart and kind, and gentle to those around her. She was very pretty but no one could ever deny anyone that. She was just a perfect example of a girlfriend James wanted, he had to love her. He liked everything about her.
