chapter six

Jeongin broke eye contact and looked at Jisung, who was staring wide eyed at Lee Minho.

Much to Jisung's surprise, Minho turned around. Probably to see what Hyunjin was looking at.

His mind was flooded with thoughts. Hyunjin wasn't supposed to be back in town until tomorrow. Why was he here? And with Minho?

Jeongin zoned back in at the sound of Minho speaking.

"Yah! Jisungie!" He got up and began walking towards them, Jisung quickly hiding behind Jeongin's back.

The youngest laughed for a moment before Hyunjin got up, following him. His eyes hadn't left Jeongin.

He tried to keep his composure, but it was hard when Hyunjin wouldn't break eye contact.

Minho noticed the staring and raised an eyebrow. "You two know each other?"

"Yes." Hyunjin said.

"No!" Jeongin shook his head. "I-I mean yes."

"We worked on a history project together last year," Hyunjin smiled, "I dont expect him to remember, but he's very smart."

Jeongin's face turned red and he nodded. "R-Right. I remember now."

Jisung nudged his side, teasing him. Jeongin glared back as Felix shouted from across the shop.

"Oi! You guys wanna hang with us? Channie already said it was okay!"

Jisung and Jeongin made eye contact, eyes wide.

"Sure." Hyunjin shrugged, "I dont see why we wouldn't."

Minho nodded, "Cmon, Sung. Sit by me, okay?"

Jisung nodded, letting Minho pull him to the table.

Jeongin was left alone with Hyunjin. The taller turned and flashed him a smile.

"Hyun-"

"Don't tell them anything, okay?"

"Okay..."

"I love you."

Jeongin nodded "I know. Me too." He walked over to the table, sitting next to Seungmin in the booth.

Of course Hyunjin just had to sit down beside him. He sighed and looked at the table, trying to ignore the boy next to him.

"Soo~" Felix looked between Hyunjin and Jeongin, smirking at the look on the dark haired boy's face.

Jeongin glared at him and he looked away, smiling.

He finally managed to calm his nerves and tune into the conversation. Minho and the others were teasing Jisung about something, he couldn't fully tune in before Hyunjin reached under the table, placing a hand on his thigh.

He glanced at him, trying to keep his face from turning red.

"Hyunjin." He mumbled, hoping no one would hear him.

"Mm? What's up, Jeongin?" Hyunjin replied, way too loud. The table turned to look at him.

"Nothing. I-I wasn't talking to you." He looked away.

"It sounded like you were," Hyunjin squeezed his leg.

Jeongin bit his lip. Why was he doing this? He was the one to said to keep it quiet and now he's rubbing up on him?

Jeongin side eyed him, sliding his hand under the table and moving Hyunjin's hand off his leg. Hyunjin took Jeongin's hand in his own and the younger sighed. At least he wasn't rubbing his thigh.
