Part-1
Jaemin checked out the male who entered the cafeteria with his group of friends and made his way to a far away table.
Jeno was always on point. Not even a piece of hair was out of place. He sat down with Renjun and Chenle, after a tired day at the inter-school quiz competition.
"Isn't that Lee Jeno?" One of Jaemin's friends said in a taunting voice. Jaemin glanced at him only to find how he was looking at Jeno as if he was some kind of prey.
Jaemin clenched his fists under the table as he felt anger rise through his veins.
"Ofcourse it is. Look at him..how ugly his dressing style is!! Damn I wonder who the fuck would even date that face." Another of Jaemin's friends spoke before the table erupted into laughter.
Jaemin didn't join. He took a deep breath and tried taming his anger down.
Jaemin and his group of friends are considered delinquents and nobody dared to approach them. Moreover they are filthy rich and popular. Their parents almost owned the school. This gave another reason for the kids to not mess with them.
Jeno's story is different. Him and his group of friends are extremely talented. They represented the school in various competitions and managed to win maximum of them. They are the reason why their school is considered to be number one in the whole country.
"I think that's none of your business." Jaemin spoke with his voice cold as ice. He was having enough of listening to the shits these idiots were sprouting.
"Dude we're just having fun okay?" The guy beside Jaemin said.
"THAT'S NOT FUCKING FUN!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" Jaemin slammed his hands on the table, making his friends shriek with shock.
A couple sitting at the nearby table who Jaemin recognized as Mark Lee and Donghyuck Lee, the 'IT' couple of the school gave him a concerned look but quickly looked away and focused on their food.
"Why are you salty, man? Did you get into his pants or something? Was he that good that you are taking his side now? You see I told you that I am free for you. Were you so desperate that you went to that bastard?" The guy gave Jaemin a nasty smile, making his other "friends" snicker.
That's when Jaemin lost it.
People gasped when they saw Jaemin pull the boy up by his collar and harshly throw him to the ground. However he didn't stop there. Jaemin proceeded to smash the guy's face with punches until his other friends got into action and held him back.
"Say another word about him and I'll make sure to burn that mouth of yours." Jaemin was breathing heavily and looked at the male who was holding his cheek that was imprinted with indents of Jaemin's metal rings.
"But- Jaemin-" his other two friends who were holding him tried to reason but got pushed away.
"If you two don't run away now, I'll make you end up with your friend here." Jaemin gave the other two guys a sinister smile. Surely enough, they ran away from the cafeteria.
Jaemin poked his inner cheek with his tongue and raised his brows at the crowd that was too stunned to react.
His eyes landed on Jeno who looked like he saw a ghost.
'Cute' Jaemin thought.
"Now that the show has ended, take my ending remarks. If any one of you dares to speak anything like that about Jeno, I'll personally take the initiative of pushing cactuses upto your crusty asses." Jaemin gave everyone a polite smile and walked out of the room, bumping onto a shocked Jeno.
"That sounds painful. Well! Jeno JENO!!" Renjun turned towards his friend who was now nowhere to be seen.

In the medical room laid a bruised boy. He was cursing his heart out at the nurse who was fixing him up.
A knock resonated through the door, alerting them.
"Oh hi Jeno. What brings you here?" The nurse turned around and asked.
"Hi Miss Yoon! I am here to check up on my friend." Jeno replied and pointed at the boy.
"Oh that's great then. You guys talk, I'll be in the other room." The nurse collected her apparatus and proceeded to leave.
"He's not my friend, C'MON!" The boy tried to move but Jeno held him by his shoulders. Surprisingly his grip was like chains.
"Probably he's angry with me for not not being there for him when he got chopped like an onion. Right?" Jeno eye-smiled at the fuming boy.
The nurse left.
"What do you want Jeno?" The guy asked when the room was empty.
"Oh I don't want anything. I have already got what I want, unlike you. Now tell me how did it feel when MY boyfriend punched you?" Jeno smirked and sat beside the boy.
