There was only a month left until the seniors graduated, resulting in both the seniors and the staff rushing around to finish any assignments and credits needed.

Jisung was set for the ceremony, already having his credits and everything completed. Perks of being secluded in his room most of the time.

The blonde sat in the library while he watched his friends scramble to finish their last few assignments. He couldn't help but chuckle at the pair, "I would have helped you guys, you know."

Both mocked the boy playfully, all three of them erupting into a quiet fit of laughter.

While the duo worked on their assignments, Jisung tried his best to help them without being pushy.

Jisung wasn't the smartest in their class, but he paid attention to the majority of his classes. He felt very well versed in most things taught this year.

As the boys were working and chatting, another dynamic duo was entering the library. A duo that was going to miss the trio very much.

The pair approached the table, earning glares from both Felix and Seungmin while Jisung tried to look everywhere but in Hyunjin and Jeongin's eyes.

"Hey, beautiful." Jeongin greeted, leaning against the table as he winked at Felix.

"Can't you guys see that we're busy?" Seungmin questioned rhetorically, clearly annoyed by their presence.

Hyunjin leaned down so that he was eye to eye with Seungmin, a slight grin tugging at his lips. "You could be busy doing something else if you'd like."

The puppy rolled his eyes, ignoring the male's grotesque way of flirting with him.

Hyunjin has always had a crush on the baseball player, but his status as the school's prince only allows him to spend time with the most beautiful.

Such as Jeongin. The fox-like boy transferred from a private school, advancing a whole year due to his academics.

Everyone adored the duo, boys and girls alike drooling over them.

Well, everyone except the trio sitting in front of them right now.

Hyunjin couldn't understand why Seungmin hadn't fallen for his charms yet, while Jeongin couldn't understand why Felix hadn't noticed his advances.

But both boys knew exactly what they were doing, they just didn't care. They were uninterested in the pair, hating how selfish and self centered they were.

"Why don't you guys come back later whenever you have schoolwork to do? Maybe then we'll talk with you." Felix stared blankly at Jeongin, earning nothing but chuckles from the boys.

Their conversation was interrupted as the bell rang, signaling lunchtime.

Saved by the bell, Jisung thought to himself.

"I'll see you at practice, Seungmin." Hyunjin grinned, patting the player's back as he and Jeongin walked away, the younger giving Felix one last smile before they disappeared behind the library door.

"I cannot wait to get away from those two." Jisung mumbled, both his friends agreeing shortly after.

"I vote we skip lunch and continue working. We can go get food after school." Felix suggested, looking between the others for an answer.

Seungmin and Jisung nodded, not minding the idea of skipping lunch in order to stay away from the school's princes.

Chan and Lee Know were out at a local restaurant, having a romantic date night.

From afar, they appeared to be a normal couple in the eyes of most.

Chan was a gentleman when it came to his boyfriend, pulling out chairs and opening doors for the younger.

Lee Know was a real doll towards Chan, his eyes filled with adoration at every action the older did.

They appeared to be madly in love. And they were.

But they had a dark secret that nobody around them knew about.

They were only there to watch over their beloved.

Jisung and his friends were out having the dinner they promised after skipping lunch.

Chan noticed that Lee Know was looking down in the dumps as he pushed around his meal.

"What's wrong, love?" The older questioned gently.

The blonde sighed, "He looks so happy."

Chan furrowed his brows in confusion as he took another bite of his own food. "I don't follow, I'm sorry."

"He looks so happy. We're going to tear him away from that, honey. It just hurts a little bit."

Chan nodded his head softly as he finally understood what the boy meant.

But he didn't see it the way. He saw it as Jisung was going to be happier with him and Lee Know.

The raven haired male reached over to take hold of his boyfriend's hand, earning a gentle smile from the latter.

Both males soon became alarmed as they heard Jisung whining.

As they looked over, they spotted two boys standing near the table of three, the trio seeming very annoyed and upset with the boys' presence.

"Who the fuck are they?" Chan questioned through gritted teeth, already standing up to go and address the two.

But Lee Know took hold of his hand, preventing him from getting up.

"You'll scare him." He whispered, earning a groan from the latter.

Chan knew he was right, and he hated that.

They both watched as the two boys interacted with Jisung and his friends.

Chan took out his phone, texting his friend to figure out who the boys were.

"I'm asking Changbin if he's seen those boys around Jisung's school. Maybe he knows them."

Changbin was a teacher at Jisung's school, teaching physical education.

He kept an eye on Jisung for Chan and Lee Know while the younger was there, acting as an informant of sorts.

Changbin saw it more as being a distant babysitter.

As Chan's phone vibrated, Changbin finally answering, his blood boiled.

"They're bullies." He seethed, seeing red as he got up from his spot once more, Lee Know not being able to stop him this time.
