the next day, hyunjin woke up extra early to watch youtube tutorials on how to use makeup. he's never even touched any makeup related objects, ever. so, it was clear that he was confused and had no idea on what he was doing. but, he managed to power through it, thanks for the tutorials that people had made.

and in the end, he successfully covered up all the bruising. his face looked normal again, and there was nothing to worry about now. he put away all the makeup products that he used, cleaned his desk, and packed his bag for school.

he rushed down the stairs and met up with his younger brother who was waiting for him by the door already.

"sorry, i lost track of time and was struggling with the makeup." hyunjin apologized as he quickly got his shoes on.

"hm? your face looks pretty normal, doesn't even look like you got bruises." riki said, and hyunjin let out a sigh of relief.

"thank goodness it turned out well, i woke up at 4am just to do it!" hyunjin said and riki let out a stifled laughter.

"4am? that's silly."

"oh shut up, you're lucky he doesn't do the same to you." hyunjin snapped, and riki rolled his eyes.

riki sighed, "you know, i can just call the police for you." he said, and hyunjin's eyes shifted to the ground.

"mother wouldn't like that." he replied before leaving the house, riki soon following.

he caught up to his older brother, "hyunjin, this has been going on for so long, aren't you tired?" riki asks genuinely, but the other kept a straight face.

"i am tired, riki. but if we report to the police, mother would go crazy, and she's already slightly sick."

he heard the younger sigh once again, "as long as he doesn't lay a finger on you, we'll be fine." hyunjin continued.

hyunjin met up with his usual close friends at the table they would always sit at. soobin smiled at him as soon as he sat down next to them.

"hey hyunjin!" he spoke with a smile as he greeted his friend.

"hello, did we have any homework? i forgot if we did or not." hyunjin asked, and yeonjun looked through all of his folders.

"nope, don't think so." he replied, and soon beomgyu came to the table as well.

hyunjin sat up and immediately hugged his best friend who smiled.

"is everyone ready for our test?" beomgyu asks as he sits down, but he earned a lot of confused stares from the others.

"a what now?!" yeonjun spat out in shock.

"the test? for math? you guys didn't study?"

the three males looked at each other with confusion filled in their eyes, "we have a test?!" hyunjin said out of the blue as he looked through his backpack messily, trying to find any sort of notes that would help him.

beomgyu face palmed himself, "don't tell me you guys all forgot..."

"i swear our math teacher didn't tell us anything about an upcoming test!" soobin said, but beomgyu snickered.

"our teacher literally told us a week ago to continuously study for this week."

soobin and yeonjun looked at each other once again before letting out a dramatic cry, "we're gonna fail..."

"and then we watched a movie! and he brought so many snacks and water for me, it felt like i was on cloud nine!" jeongin shared as he kicked his feet that was dangling off of the desk.

"okay, no need to rub it in our faces!" changbin frowned as he threw a bag of chips towards the younger who barely caught it.

"god, i just want to relive that moment!" jeongin continued and the others were silently giggling at him.

"oh my gosh, and he's such a good drawer too! wait, i told you guys that already...his voice when teaching me how to draw was so soothing and calm, i fell into every word he said!" jeongin squealed, and chan let out a tired sigh.

"this has been going on for 27 minutes now, are you finished yet jeongin?" the older asks, and jeongin smiled lightly before responding.

"yes yes, i am finished. sorry, i'm just living the dream, y'know?" he teased and felix rolled his eyes.

"aish, just shut up already!"
