𖤈 Chapter Sixty-Nine: Support

"Don't tell me she's at it again." Amy sighs deeply as she crosses her arms.

Hakim shrugs his shoulders, "give her a bit of time and some air, she really needs it right now." He replies in a gentle tone.

Unusual for him towards Amy and vice versa. But at times like this, it is one of those moments where they aren't against each other and have to work together.

Jaemin looks up and flashes him a look, "ah, no wonder she skipped Biology and Literature class this morning." He comments out of the blue.

"She actually likes Biology class," Amy perks up. "So you know something is wrong when she decided to willingly skip that class."

"I hope she's feeling better, she said her parents had crossed the line again last night." She soon adds.

Nodding off, Hakim plays with Jaemin's blue pen and mumbles. "She probably wants to party later or something, just somewhere to go. Away from those people."

"You better go with her."

"I know, that's why I'm already mentally preparing myself for what's about to come." Hakim says in a silly tone to lighten up the mood.

Luckily it has both Amy and Jaemin chuckling at him, the latter shaking his head as he looks around, spotting a certain brunet boy.

Grinning widely, he ignores Amy's nonstop teasing when she sees the look he has on. Hakim backing her up as well with a drawled out whistle.

"Hey, love." The brunet boy smiles and takes a seat beside his boyfriend. Getting a kiss on the cheek as a greeting.

"Hey, Jen."

"Lover boy number two has finally showed up," Hakim snickers and leans back against his seat. "What took you long, hm?"

"Stuff got caught up in the Arts room," rolling his eyes, the brunet boy then waves it off in nonchalance. "But no worries, that's fixed now."

"By the way, I spoke to Patrine." He then brings up, having everyone to raise their eyebrow in curiosity.

"In the Arts room?" Amy assumes.

Forehead creasing when he looks at her, the brunet boy shakes his head. "What? No," making the other three more confused than a second ago.

"She was at the Science Lab," he says. "I decided to ask her what's in her mind right now and let her rant to me."

"Which party is she going to?" Amy asks straight to the point, already knowing what Patrine's next habitual move is.

Just not exactly where.

"I don't actually know who's party it is," Jeno replies with a shrug of his shoulders. "But luckily it's not a huge one, it's like... Low-key. Almost a get together."

"Should I still go?" Everyone immediately snaps their heads to Hakim and gives him a deadly glare.

"Joking," he smiles nervously. "I'm just... Not sure if I can actually be there."
