"Ugh," Jisung dropped to his seat and sighed, rubbing his face a couple times.

"It went bad?" Changbin whisper-asked, careful not to let Seungmin hear their conversation.

"Worse than bad." Jisung whispered back, opening his bag's zipper to fish out his notes and stationary. He placed a ruler on top of his opened notes and ripped a piece of paper up.

Changbin rested his head on his palms, looking at his friend who was busy scribbling at the moment. His sight went to Seungmin, who slumped his shoulders a bit, head down focusing on something in front of him.

After Seungmin had calmed down a little, they both prepared to make their way back to their class. Whilst helping his friend stand up, Changbin saw Yeji standing at the door frame, hand resting on the door handle while peeking out. She seemed to put two and two together and knew what had happened.

Changbin didn't know if Seungmin saw her too, but he wouldn't dare to ask.

"You won't...leave me, right?" Seungmin asked in a small voice as they walked back to class. It broke Changbin's heart.

"Min... everyone makes mistakes. I won't leave you because of something you didn't mean to do." Changbin reassured him, to which the other just replied with a nod.

Fast forward to few minutes before class starts, Changbin saw Jisung holding his hand out with the paper, and quickly accepted it. He looked at his squirrel friend in confusion before directing his focus to the paper on his hand.

Meet up with yeji after school, at miroiro cafe. I told lucas what happened but he couldnt come

Changbin raised his eyebrows, grabbing his own pen to write back. He gave it to Jisung.

What if they suspect us :"

Jisung wrote back to him.

Ive got a plan

All Changbin could do at that moment was pray everything goes well.

Seungmin stood in front of the tall building, head craned up to look at the sign. The fairy lights around the sign continue to twinkle even though it was only 5 PM. Beside it there were two pairs of shoes, one tap and one ballet, and on the other side there stood an animated grinning face and two thumbs up.

He almost regretted not asking Changbin and Jisung to come with him, but knowing them both, they're probably someplace else discussing how they could help fix the fight between him and his boyfriend. Not to mention the cringey, 'I have a reason why I can't come with you and no it's not suspicious' smile of Jisung that was etched on his face. Seriously, someone should tell him to stop that.

"So they renovated it, and somehow it looked worse," he muttered. Still, he took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Of course, he was proven wrong by the interior of the building. What he previously knew as a place built with old wood has now been replaced by a much neater, newer materials. Gone were the days he had to wear thick clothing due to no heater during wintertime, and sweat through his uniform during summertime. Now the front lobby is beautifully decorated, giving a comfortable atmosphere to the people walking in.
