08: we're dating now

"Hey, Won! What took you so long?" Sunoo pouted as he pulled Jungwon down to sit next to him. "Did you eat already? Do you want to eat together while we talk about Sunghoon? I haven't ate yet."

Jungwon stayed silent as he handed Sunoo his favorite sandwich wrapped in plastic. "I'm not very hungry so you can eat that. I'll have to get going for my next class so I'll see you later in the arts classroom, okay?"

"Won!" Sunoo watched Jungwon run away without a word. "Where would he go? His next class is still an hour away... Maybe he doesn't want to talk about Sunghoon?" He muttered to himself as he opened the sandwich from the plastic, eating it.

"Hey, loser~! Where's Jungwon?" Ni-ki asked as he hit Sunoo on the back. "He's going to make me his maid if I keep doing what he says but, oh well... what can I do? Where's Jungwon?"

Sunoo rolled his eyes as he sat somewhere else, ignoring Ni-ki. He then continued eating his sandwich as Ni-ki watched him from a distance.

"Whatever, I'm gonna look for him myself." Ni-ki scoffed as he walked towards Sunoo, showing him a fist. "I have a gift, it's from Sunghoon."

"Really? What is it~!?" Sunoo stood up, excited to see what's inside. "Oh my gosh, what if he's been ignoring me because he bought a ring for me? Ah, just show it already~!"

Ni-ki placed his hand over Sunoo's handing him an empty candy wrapper. "Open it when I leave, okay?" He immediately ran away so that Sunoo won't hit him if ever that happens.

"Ha... Of course." Sunoo crumpled the candy wrapper, forming a fist too show his rage towards Ni-ki. "What did you expect from that punk? He's never done anything likeable! Hmph!" He took his coat, walking away for his next class.

On the other hand, Jungwon's waiting for Ni-ki in front of his dance studio. He thought Ni-ki would be here, but he isn't. "Is he not here...?"

"Jungwon!" Ni-ki called Jungwon's name from a distance, catching his attention as he ran approaching the elder. "Why are you here? I've been looking for you—"

"I'm the one looking for you! Where's my milk?" Jungwon tiptoed as he looked around Ni-ki, trying to find the strawberry milk he asked Ni-ki to buy. "Stop moving, you're playing with me."

Ni-ki laughed, taking out the milk box from his pocket for Jungwon. "Haha, here! You're really dumb, huh?"

"What did you say?!" Jungwon pouted, trying to intimidate Ni-ki by looking mad but instead, he looks cute. "Ugh, whatever. I need your help."

"Me? Again? I'm the most unreliable person ever, I don't think I can help." Ni-ki remarked, scratching his head in confusion as he watched Jungwon drink his strawberry milk.

Jungwon pulled Ni-ki closer to him, whispering something to his ear. "Park Sunghoon told his friends that he was just playing with Sunoo. I'm not sure why but I'm sure it was clear he said that. We need to do something before Heeseung spreads this around. You know him, right?"

"Oh, that's why he always wipes his hands when he enters the dance studio after holding hands with Sunoo." Ni-ki nodded, slowly understanding everything that's happened now. "What can we do though? For sure it already spread around—"

"Yang Jungwon!" Sunoo screamed through the hallway, attracting everyone's attention. He then looked around, seeing everyone's eyes on him so he walked to the two while hanging his head low. "It was suspicious enough to say that you're going to your next class which is an hour away but I didn't know you're going to hang out with this cockroach!"

Ni-ki pushed Sunoo lightly, hiding behind Jungwon. "What did you say? I'm a cockroach?"

"Yes you are!" Sunoo glared him, holding Jungwon's hand tightly. "What are you two talking about that I'm not included on?"
