Jisung thought Chenle looked beautiful with his orange hair and it seemed he wasn't the only one who thought so.

"Hey, Chenle" Yangyang grinned extra gorgeously as they made their way off campus for lunch "How's it going, cutie?"

"He's not interested, Yangyang" Jisung quickly stepped in, giving Yangyang a soft push "Get lost"

"Worth a shot" the elder grumbled before retreating.

"Seriously, that's like the fifth person today!" Chenle giggled excitedly "Orange really is my colour"

Chenle had no idea.

As they walked towards the highstreet, Chenle was racking up both male and female attention alike. He was like a celebrity the way everyone stopped to stare and appreciate his good looks.

Chenle had always been beautiful but something about his orange hair just made his skin glow and his eyes sparkle in a way that was purely mesmerising.

He was going to be the death of Jisung.

"Yangyang is kinda cute y'know now that I come to think of it..."

"No" Jisung immediately cut the elder off without hesitation "Don't go there"

"I was only joking, Jisung" Chenle grumbled "You're no fun"

Jisung didn't care. The thought of Chenle with anyone else made him wanna break something and yeah maybe he was being a little selfish. Sue him.

"Chenle, oh my God!" Donghyuck gasped dramatically when he saw the younger that evening "You look hot"

"Hi guys I'm here too" Jisung sighed as everyone ignored him in favour of fawning over Chenle and his new hair.

"We have to hit up the clubs this weekend" Jaemin suggested excitedly "Y'know, show them what's up with this new and improved Chenle"

"No no no we do not need to do that" Jisung quickly opposed.

"Oh, don't be such a grandad, Jisung" Renjun rolled his eyes "It'll be fun. Don't you want your bestie to get some action? I swear he's getting dusty from staying home all the time"

"Yeah, Jisung" Chenle turned to him, crossing his arms and narrowing his eyes "Don't you want me to get some action?!"

Jisung gulped under the heat of Chenle's gaze, crumbling under the pressure.

"I guess it could be fun..."

"Yay!" Renjun clapped his hands a little "Then it's decided!"

Jisung groaned internally, knowing it wouldn't be fun for him at all to watch Chenle being chatted up left, right and centre when all he could do was pretend to be happy for him.

"Yo, you good?" Mark asked discreetly.

"Yeah, I'm fine" Jisung smiled weakly "Just tired"

"Hmm" the elder wasn't convinced but decided not to push it.
