Once Upon A Time | JongSang

Episode 16: Build-a-Bear

:)

Jongho was no longer safe from the stares from Yeosang's friend group.

The wiggling eyebrows, the taunts, teasing, and knowing looks never left Jongho, no matter how he tried.

He pretended it didn't bother him, but the way Wooyoung kept whispering, "Oh, fuck! My king!" whenever he passed him in the walls was getting irritating. He didn't mind that Yeosang told them about their... fun time; Jongho would have done the same with his best friend.

But did it have to be Wooyoung?

It had been a few days since that day, and Yeosang had not said anything about it. It was to the point where Jongho wondered if it was a dream or not. However, if Yeosang didn't want to speak about it, he wouldn't either. No matter how much he wanted to, he didn't want to make the Evil King uncomfortable.

Jongho's thoughts began to turn for the worse.

Did he not like it?

Did he do a lousy job?

Was he too weird?

Maybe he scared him off?

Did Yeosang regret it?

If the Evil King did feel any negative about it, Jongho only wished he would tell him.

Instead, Jongho was zoning out in class, staring at the back of Yeosang's neck where the hickeys were still very noticeable.

He would have been very proud of it, but instead, he only sighed at the sight that it was another sign of failure.

Should he dare to ask Wooyoung about Yeosang's thoughts...or was that creepy?

Jongho heard the bell ring, he really did, but he had yet to move from his seat. He watched Yeosang gracefully gather his books and place them in his bag.

That was until Karina slapped him in the back of his head.

"Move it, bitch. I got other classes, and your gay ass keeps staring at Yeosang...it's creepy..." Karina frowned, pushing past Jongho with a grunt.

She was correct; it is very creepy to stare and not say anything when there is so much to be said but not in the form of words.

Yeosang smiled. He knew that Jongho was dying to know anything about his thoughts on the matter. He enjoyed the extra attention he got, even if Jongho did not know he knew. In fact, he purposely made sure to undo a few buttons of his uniform to ensure it taunted Jongho and told others he was not on the market...as of right now.

It was just simple payback for the pushing and pulling Jongho seemed to love to do.

Standing up from his seat, hearing Karina's loud voice mock Jongho for his staring. He held back a chuckle, watching the princess rush out of the classroom.

"Mr. Kang," Ms. Swift called out, her voice filled with concern. "Could you come to see me for a second?"

"Of course, Ms. Swift," Yeosang smiled, walking toward her desk with his bag over his shoulder. "Do you need something?"
