Chapter 32

"So truth or dare is done. Ladies, it's time for Magic Mike XXL." Donghyuck states as they walk back into the house. 

"Hyuck, are you good? You just saw your ex from high school." Jaemin asks gently.

"I'm fine. We agreed no hard feelings when he got arrested, remember?" Donghyuck said.

"Arrested? The fuck did he get arrested for?" Renjun asks as he gathers snacks and water for their movie.

"He was a teacher assistant. I was a student. My mom caught us fucking and called the cops." Donghyuck stated nonchalantly. "I was 17 and he was like 23 so it really wasn't that bad."

"Yeah but still. That was probably very shocking to see your ex-lover after so long and making a face he's definitely seen before." Renjun says with concern despite throwing shade at the situation. 

"Haha very funny. The only way I'd be bothered is if I had to spend everyday near him." Donghyuck clarifies. 

With that the boys all wandered up the stairs to either Jaemin's room for Magic Mike or Jeno's room to go to sleep.

"I jinxed it." Donghyuck wailed dramatically as he plopped down at the table his friends were seated at before class begins. They had spent the entire day at Jeno's house with Jeno and Jaemin's parents on the teacher work day and were excited to arrive at school the next morning to finally discuss Jaemin's endeavors in China. However, that would have to wait because Donghyuck is crying crocodile tears over something he jinxed.

"Jinxed what?" Renjun asks.

"That man is here. The only reason he would be here is to teach. What the fuck is he teaching? I don't know. But he's here!" Donghyuck rambles.

"Well, as long as it's none of our classes, it'll be okay." Jaemin attempts to comfort.

"You're right. The fuck am I crying for? I'm too bad of a bitch for that." Donghyuck immediately stopped his wailing and high-fived Beomgyu, who seemed to agree with his sentiment.

The rest of the boys laughed it off. They continued to just chat until the bell rang. Hyunjin, Yeonjun, and Beomgyu had a different first period then the rest of them so they waved good bye to their friends and headed off to their classes. The teacher was absent when they arrived to their first period but they didn't pay that any mind. Teachers are late sometimes. It's nothing new. 

However, when the door opened and a familiar male walked in, Donghyuck banged his head on the desk. 

"I told you, Markie-pooh. I jinxed it." Donghyuck whined with his face on the desk facing Mark's hands. Mark lifted one hand to comfort him by rubbing his back.

"Hello, class! My name is Johnny Suh. You can call me Mr. Suh or just Johnny. I'll be your new teacher from this point forward." The man said.

"Hey, Mr. Suh? My boyfriend's not feeling well. Mind if I take him to the infirmary?" Mark asks while still rubbing Donghyuck's back.

"Go ahead. The rest of you pull out your textbooks. We'll start from where your last teacher left off." Mr. Suh instructed.

Mark gathered his and Donghyuck's things and walked Donghyuck towards the infirmary.

"Do you want to go to our spot?" Mark asked as they approached the infirmary and Donghyuck nodded solemnly. Mark guided Donghyuck past the infirmary and to the roof instead. On the roof, Mark used a key to unlock a door that led to a large cozy room the two had found, cleaned, and decorated quite some time ago. It was their space for whenever they needed a break from reality or more of each other.

"What can I do to make you feel better?" Mark asked Donghyuck as they sat on the bean bag chairs they had brought instead of actual furniture. How could they get a couch to the school roof anyway?

"Fuck me." Donghyuck requested.

"But-" Mark began.

"No buts. Just fuck me. We can talk it out later. Right now, I just don't want to think." Donghyuck pleaded.

"Ok."

"Where's Mark and Hyuck?" Yeonjun asks as he sits with the rest of the group.

"You don't want to know. Just know that he's definitely okay." Renjun shuddered thinking about the phone call he just had with Donghyuck. 

"Okay...? How were your classes?" Yeonjun inquired.

"Donghyuck really did jinx it. Johnny's our first period teacher." Jeno answered while feeding Jaemin.

"He's actually really nice! I didn't know him back when  Donghyuck and him were dating. I only knew that they were a thing after his arrest." Jaemin says excitedly. 

"Yeah, he let us ask him a bunch of random questions because the lesson was boring and we gossiped about our favorite movie characters." Chenle exclaimed excitedly.

"He was a little too nice if you ask me." Jisung stated coldly. Jeno nodded harshly in agreeance. 

"He only answered Chenle and Jaemin's questions and he invited them to sit at his desk to talk." Jeno further explained.

"You guys are overreacting. He answered everybody's questions and talking to your teacher isn't a bad thing." Jaemin rolled his eyes, feeding Jeno in return to keep him quiet.

"Heyyy guys." Donghyuck said as he slid into his spot beside Yeonjun and Mark sits beside him.

"Oh my god, you guys were doing the nasty, weren't you?" Beomgyu gasps.

"Guilty." Mark says sheepishly.

"Where? You can't know. You horndogs would be there twenty-four seven." Donghyuck sassed. Everyone giggled at his remark. "By the way, I really don't have an issue with Johnny or anything like that, I was just shocked and remembering a lot of things I haven't thought about in years."

"Really? That's great!" Jaemin clapped excitedly. "If you had an issue, I'd feel bad for talking to him about movies."

"Lol, talk to him as much as you want. He's a generally fun person. He's not a predator or anything like that. I sought him out first and he didn't cave until right before my eighteenth birthday which is why he doesn't have any criminal charges. I was literally days away from eighteen when he got arrested." Donghyuck explained, not wanting for anybody to misinterpret the situation.

"Do you want to come with us to talk to him during his office hours? We actually need the content but also we need to finish or debate over Timothee Chalamet's best movie." Chenle inquires.

"Sure." Donghyuck agrees. 

"Can we come along?" Jeno and Jisung grumble.

"You guys reek of jealousy. You sure you could handle it?" Yukhei teased. 

"You don't even have to ask. He's your teacher too." Renjun pointed out.

"Whatever." Jeno rolls his eyes, feeding Jaemin the last bite of their shared food
