Another day of Jisung walking through the more familiar hallway, making his way to his classroom that he now did not want to be in. The reason for that was pretty simple.

Minho.

The young male had no idea if the air would be filled with awkward tension or something else. Jisung tried to come up with every scenario so he could prepare himself mentally and not get humiliated or hurt by the other male. He still could not believe that he met Minho yesterday. The way he made Jisung feel humiliated which caused Jisung to have a bad day yesterday.. but it is not like today is going to be a better day..

Walking in the classroom, avoiding eye contact with everyone, his gaze focused on the floor like it was the most interesting thing in the room. He hated the fact that he had to sit beside Minho but he had to accept it. He already got to switch seats once so he was sure about the teacher not letting him switch seats once again.. especially because Minho acted very kind towards him in class yesterday.

As Jisung looked at the floor while reaching his seat, he noticed that there was a man standing in front of the desk, speaking to Minho that seemed to ignore Jisung's presence completely. But the one that did not ignore his presence was the tall, black haired male that was speaking to Minho that later on shifted his attention to Jisung that sat down on his seat.

"Hey.. I've never seen you before.. are you new?" The tall male asked, making Jisung sigh as he did not want to interact with anyone that involved Minho but of course, Jisung wanted to be respectful and not hated so he just rested his gaze on the make and flashed him a small smile. "Yes, I'm new. I started in this class yesterday." He replied, making the tall male hun before he moved to stand in front of Jisung's desk.

The black haired male placed his hands on Jisung's table before leaning down, making them both have an intense eye contact but the eye contact was quickly broken by Jisung that awkward cleared his throat and took his bag pack, acting like he was looking for something.

"You have a baby face, how old are you?" The tall male asks as he kept his gaze on Jisung that could not do anything but to act unbothered. Jisung opened his mouth to speak but got caught off by Minho."I'm-" "Hyunjin can you stop being so nosy and go back to your classroom?" Minho asked as he was clearly annoyed that Hyunjin was speaking to Jisung.

"Chill out hyung.. I was just curious about this cutie beside you." He said before flashing Jisung a small smirk that caused the younger to blush but he did not make it obvious. "Gosh I don't want to hear your lame flirting, just get out." Minho said and Hyunjin only sighed before rolling eyes and leaving.

Even though, Hyunjin left quickly, he still made sure to show Jisung that he was interested in getting to know him which caused Jisung to chuckle a bit before he relaxed more in his seat.

"Maybe you were meant to be a slut."

The soft and relaxed expression on Jisung's face, disappeared after hearing the comment that came from the male sitting beside him. Jisung frowned and raised his eyebrow as he turned his head to glare at the older male that had an unbothered expression. "Excuse me?" Jisung said, quite confused by the comment.

Minho stared at the wall and it was like he was in his own world but he knew what he was doing and what he was saying. "I don't know.. it's just that.." Minho started off before he paused and slowly turned his head to gaze at the clueless male that looked like a mad and confused squirrel. "Many find you attractive and you're basically using your looks to seduce other men and.. sleep with them for money." The older said pretty loudly which caused the younger to put his hand over Minho's mouth so he could keep quiet.

"Speak louder will you?! Can we just.. forget that we saw each other yesterday..?" The younger asked as he slowly removed his hand away from Minho's mouth. "Ahh.. forget you say.." Minho whispered before he chuckled, that caused Jisung to raise his eyebrows. "Sure I'll forget." He finished off with a clear layer of sarcasm in that sentence before the teacher entered.

Jisung's hand formed into a fist under the table, being slightly worried and annoyed by the male's behavior but he tried to calm himself down, wanting to focus on school for once in his life.

The bell rang and the students made their way to the cafeteria to eat lunch. Jisung waited for everyone to leave, especially that one person sitting beside him that he did not want to look at. The squirrel boy started making his way to the cafeteria and followed other students since he did not get a proper tour of the school.

Reaching the cafeteria, he slowly walked, seeing a lot of students just sitting and chatting while eating their food. Since Jisung was new, he did not have any friends and that caused him to walk awkwardly with a tray of food, searching for a place to sit.

Before he could properly look around, his eyes landed on a familiar person that was now making his way towards him, which caused Jisung to become a bit nervous. "Seems like someone has nowhere to sit. You can sit with me and my friends." The tall male, also known as Hyunjin said while taking Jisung tray, carrying it to the table without listening to Jisung's protests. Jisung sighed as he slowly walked to the table where five other people sat.

A blonde male with freckles.
A short muscular male.
A puppy-like male.
A male with dimples.
And of course, Minho.

The whole reason for Jisung being nervous when Hyunjin approached him and took his trey was because Minho was sitting there. Because Minho knew about his secret and was such a jerk to him, he wanted to avoid him as much as possible.. but that was not possible at all.

"Everyone shut up, we got a new student that we need to take care of." Hyunjin said when he sat down and signed the puppy-like male to move so Jisung could have space to sit. Jisung slowly sat down, not making eye contact with anyone even though they were practically staring at the poor boy. "Hi.. I'm Jisung- Han Jisung." He said quietly and everyone let out a hum, except for Minho that was sitting there and scrolling through his phone before Hyunjin snatched it away from him. "Hyung, stop being a boring asshole."

Hyunjin said while Minho gave him a death glare and stared at him for good five seconds. "How many degrees did I say?" Minho asked, causing Jisung to frown at the question before he watched as Hyunjin almost immediately gave the phone back. "20 minutes at 180 degrees in the air fryer."

"Don't mind them, they can be weird sometimes.. by the way, I'm Lee Yongbok! It's very nice to meet you!" The male with freckles spoke as he touched Jisung's hand gently, making the male slightly startled but he quickly calmed down at the sweet smile that Yongbok flashed him.

"I'm Seo Changbin and this is Kim Seungmin and Yang Jeongin." The muscular male said and Jisung could only smile as he hummed gently. "It's very nice to meet you all," Jisung replied, his voice warm and welcoming. The trio exchanged glances. "So, Jisung, where are you from?" Seungmin asked, with curiosity.

"I'm from Busan," Jisung answered, his smile widening slightly as he felt more comfortable. "It's a beautiful city by the sea. Have any of you been there?" Jisung asked, feeling less intimidated by Minho that was clearly bothered by his presence.

Changbin nodded, his expression softening. "I visited once during a school trip. The beaches were amazing. What was it like growing up there?" Jisung leaned back slightly, reminiscing. "It was great. I spent a lot of time at the beach and there's this vibrant energy in the city."

Jeongin, who had been quiet until now, leaned forward, his eyes wide with interest. "What made you come here then?" He asked as his head tilted but before Jisung could even answer, Minho spoke.

"Why are you guys so interested in him? He's just a slut."
