Chan sighed as he watched the younger boy scurry away. Chan didn't chase after him, he just froze in place. There wasn't a chance that he would catch up.

Chan gathered his stuff and commenced to make his way out the classroom after maybe around 20 minutes of waiting, just to make sure Jeongin wasn't even near the campus. He slowly inched towards the school exit, still being cautious about his surroundings.

Chan was honestly glad this random event happened after school. Then, he wouldn't have to see him during the school duration. But the worst part is? Chan has the exact same student.. Every. Single. Day. 

He walked to the parking lot and unlocked his car doors, then hopping into the driver's seat as he started to power on the car. As the car got started, his mind began to fog up with all these thoughts. ' What if he hates me? What.. No.. it couldn't possibly be.. right? What am I thinking! He probably does. That was fucking stupid of me.. ' 

Chan begun to drive out of the parking lot, trying to rub all these negative thoughts off of his shoulders. He got to his house, which was pretty decent. He dragged himself across the polished oak wood flooring and to his bedroom. 

He crawled onto his bed, sitting there while staring at the wall with a blank stare. He couldn't help but crave more of the younger's soft lips. He actually wondered if the boy liked it or not.. Could he?

Chan decided to go to bed early that night. He finally got the courage to get himself out of bed which felt like hours, which was really just a couple minutes. He walked to the bathroom in a tired manner before turning the shower water on and undressing.

That next very next morning wasn't pretty either. It all started off like this..

"Hey, Changbin! Hey, Felix!" Seungmin ran up to the two lovebirds, smiling happily. "Hi, Seungmin! Where's Jeongin? Normally his with you.." Felix asked with a bright smile stuck on his face. 

"Uh, I'm not actually sure. He wasn't waiting for me at the spot we normally go to. Maybe he's just sick?" Seungmin suggested, trying to think of optimistic solutions to at least make some of the worrying in the air disappear. 

"Possibly. He does get sick easily, so if he is I'm not surprised." Changbin remarked. "Well you're not wrong on that, but he would've gave us any kind of message that he is sick! Like.. a call! Or a text!" Felix sighed, he knew Jeongin too well to know that he wouldn't just leave them on this cliffhanger.

"I can call him up right now to see what's up if you want." The youngest offered, hoping that would bring the mood up.

"Yes please," Felix sighed softly. He really hoped that nothing bad happened to Jeongin, he was genuinely worried about him overall. Seungmin took a grasp of his phone and dialed Jeongin's number. 

"You know, I just talked to him last night. So he should be fine." He said while the phone rang, waiting for Jeongin to pick up. ' Please pick up.. please pick up.. please pick up.. ' Felix prayed in his brain silently. 

The phone connected. "Hello?" A voice answered. It was a very familiar voice, and that one voice was? Jeongin's. 

"Innie! Hey! Where are you? You're not at school.." Seungmin asked innocently. "O-oh! I'm.. uh.. in a c-classroom.. mm..~ c-currently. I'm h-helping.. one of our teachers..! So I had to.. a-ah..~ c-come.. early. Sorry I didn't tell you." Jeongin let out a awkward laugh with a trembled voice. 

"Oh! That's fine! Anyw- " Before Seungmin could finish his sentence, another started. "Jeongin and helping teachers? That's so unlike you! Are you really helping a teacher?" Changbin joined in on the call, suspicious of the noises Jeongin was making in between his words. 

"I am helping a teacher! Now b-bye! I have to go!" Jeongin hung up on Seungmin and the other two. 

"At least we know he's being helpful these days!" Seungmin smiled, pretty much oblivious with the situation. "What were those noises he was making? Those are not the sounds of helping, Seungmin." Changbin sighed. 

"He was probably moving around a lot. Maybe that's why..?" Seungmin suggested, a bit unsure with his suggestion but went along with it.

"Maybe, but it's still suspicious!" 

As the other two were going back and forth, Felix was just happily on his phone, scrolling through TikTok.
