Jacket: A Sungbri Novel

Admiration

Chapter Summary: Jaebeom said he was going to hold back Sungjin from something until graduation. Graduation came and there was nothing that was holding back Sungjin from doing whatever he had been wanting to do.

--

"Finally, you're all leaving!" Dowoon cheered after the fourth-years took a photo together.

"I'm going to miss Sungjin hyung though," Chan pouted.

Sungjin smiled at him, "You graduated too. Look after these idiots."

"What? We're getting into college, not into a daycare center!" Chan whined, and Jaehyung cackled loudly with Mark and Jaebeom.

"Yah!" Wonpil protested.

"Jackson hyung, aren't you going to miss them?" Youngjae wiggled his eyebrows at the older.

Jackson scowled, scoffing, "I'll miss Sungjin hyung's annoying ass."

Sungjin grinned.

"Oh? Not Jaebeom hyung's?" Bambam teased.

"Leave already, for all I care," Jackson rolled his eyes but his ears were turning red as he pouted when he turned away from Jaebeom who was also grinning widely.

"I left that ring you always took from me whenever we bicker. I left it in your locker," Jaebeom said.

Jackson snapped his head to him, eyes slightly wide, "What?"

"I thought everything you possess is precious to you?" Wonpil questioned.

"Not everything precious to me is something I possess," Jaebeom's grin turned into a soft smile as he looked fondly at Jackson.

"Even until now, you flirt. Get over it!" Jinyoung said.

"Why don't you get over it too?" Wonpil nudged him.

Jinyoung only rolled his eyes. Mark took off his graduation cap and put it on his head, grinning happily. Jinyoung's ears turned red as the youngsters, Youngjae, Yugyeom, and Bambam cheered teasingly.

"Where's Younghyunnie hyung?" Chan wondered aloud.

Everyone turned to Sungjin when they found out the man was missing.

"A man whisked him away earlier, and said he had something to tell him," Yeojin spoke up.

Sungjin bit down on his lip as their history erased itself before his eyes. Jaebeom nudged him back.

"Hyung, you still aren't going to tell him?" Yugyeom frowned.

"You're really going to let someone else take him?" Bambam said.

"Yeah, even when you both act like a whole old married couple already?" Dowoon tried to humor him a bit.

"I swear, I thought one of you already confessed and you're boyfriends already without telling anyone of us," Jaehyung rambled.

"Same, but knowing Sungjin hyung, he probably hadn't said anything," Mark nodded.

"Brian hyung is a coward too," Wonpil said.

Yeojin snatched the cap off Sungjin's head and put it on Chan's, "You're just going to listen more from them? Why don't you just run already and find him?"

Sungjin turned around instantly, "Where am I gonna start, though, the university is a maze!"

"God, if it wasn't for me, you won't have a life whatsoever. They went toward the hallways, probably to the lockers," Yeojin sighed.
