The very next day, Jeno sat in their school library with Jisung. He needed answers and he needed them quick, and Jisung seemed like the only person to give him those answers.

"Ah, my hair's getting too long, isn't it?" Jisung whispered to themself after they sat down, Jeno clearing his throat to get their attention.

"Sungie! Focus, you ADHD fuck!" Jeno lightly scolded. Jisung coughed and fluffed their hair, muttering to themself.

"It's Aspergers, not ADHD."

"Same difference, I don't care. You said you know about supernatural things, right?" Jeno asked with a hushed voice, Jisung shrugging and leaning back on the library sofa.

"Yes." They took a sip of their Mountain Dew: Code Red. "Limited, I'm still a baby witch."

"Right. Do you know any reason why a medical test might come through negative?"

Jisung looked at Jeno like he was stupid. "It's common sense, dumbfuck. Error on the clinic's fault, error on the patient's fault, margin of error where a positive condition may show up negative..."

Jeno was quiet for another moment. Yes, those were all plausible, but they were talking about the supernatural here. Demons and hexes and whatnot. He thought maybe...

"Well, I just meant that..." Jeno sighed and looked at Jisung with a worried expression. "Jisung, when you hexed Donghyuck sick..." Jeno's brow furrowed and Jisung hushed him frantically, not wanting to be outed as a witch.

"Jeno, you're too loud!" Jisung hissed, grabbing Jeno's collar and towering over him. They glared at him for a moment longer before Chenle whistled to get both of their attention.

"Jisung, are you gonna keep flirting with Jeno or are you gonna come over here and give my hoodie back?" He asked sarcastically.

Jeno hadn't even seen Chenle enter the library. He was too focused on trying to connect the mental dots to notice that Chenle was back.

"Oh!" Jisung exclaimed, running to Chenle and hugging him, then picking him up. "Are you still hiding from the seniors?"

"Mhm. So, uh, I'm gonna lay low in here for today." Chenle told Jisung, to which they responded with a kiss on Chenle's cheek.

"Sounds good to me." Jisung giggled, their soft voice like a twinkle in Chenle's ear. Jeno rolled his eyes exasperatedly as the bell rang. Jeno looked at the clock on his phone and sighed.

"I should go. Bye guys." Jeno waved, looking at Jisung with a glare that said 'we'll talk later'. "If you see Yangyang, tell him we should hang out this weekend."

Jisung raised their large hand and gave a half-hearted thumbs up as Jeno turned to leave.

Walking through the hallways to his next class, he nearly toppled over Shotaro and a few freshman, and got shoved into a vending machine by some older douchebag.

But eventually, yeah, he made it to the classroom. And surprisingly enough, he didn't have to run like an idiot or anything, he actually made it on time.

Jaemin and Renjun sat at their desks, Renjun laying his head down on the desk while picking at his tail. Jaemin was on his phone, eyes glued to the screen like he was texting God himself.

"Where's the teacher?" Jeno looked around at the empty front desk and students sitting on and in their desks, chatting and laughing. Renjun looked up from where he was scratching at his own tail, which nobody else seemed to notice.

"He is not here yet, I do not think." Renjun

Jaemin looked up from his phone. "Hey baby, where were you?"

"We're calling each other 'baby' now?" Jeno snarked, kissing Jaemin's forehead and Renjun's cheek, before sliding into his seat. "Had to ask Jisung something. Oh, and Chenle's back."

"He's back? Hm." Jaemin nodded, scrolling through his phone. Jeno peeked over his shoulder, to which Jaemin flinched.

"Donghyuck's here. He said Mark was hungry, so he's taking the day off... whatever that means. Guess he's bringing him food."

"Or perhaps he is the food." Renjun snarked, giggling until he stopped abruptly. He looked almost far away and Jeno noticed it.

Jeno furrowed his eyebrows. "What? You okay? Is everything okay, Renjun?"

"Oh..." Was Renjun's only reply. His forehead creased as he thought harder. Jeno was about to reach for his hand, but Renjun's eyes widened suddenly. He looked at Jeno, then to Jaemin and then back to Jeno in bewilderment.

It was starting to make more sense, now.

A/N: Theories? Anything?
