20: ᴡʜɪᴘᴘᴇᴅ

During the morning break, Chenle and Jisung made their way to the cafeteria where their friends were already gathered at their usual spot. The group immediately noticed them arriving together, and knowing glances were exchanged.

❝Look who decided to come in together,❞ Renjun said with a smirk, nudging Jaemin.

Jaemin raised an eyebrow playfully. ❝Did you two have a sleepover without inviting us?❞

Chenle rolled his eyes but couldn't help the small smile that crept onto his face. ❝Actually, yeah. Jisung stayed over at my place last night.❞

Haechan's eyes lit up with mischief. ❝Oh? Do tell,❞ he drawled, leaning forward eagerly.

Chenle sighed but decided it was better to tell the truth rather than let the teasing continue unchecked. ❝I haven't been sleeping well since I moved here. I lost my plushie, and I'm used to sleeping with it. Jisung offered to help.❞

Jeno raised an eyebrow. ❝Help? How?❞

Jisung chuckled softly. ❝By being his substitute plushie.❞

The group burst into laughter, and Haechan couldn't resist the opportunity. ❝Ah, that makes sense! I mean, just look at Jisung's cheeks!❞ With that, he reached over and pinched Jisung's cheeks, pulling them gently.

Jisung groaned and swatted Haechan's hands away. ❝Cut it out, Hyung!❞

The others continued to laugh, the sound filling the cafeteria. Mark shook his head, a grin on his face. ❝I can totally see it now. Jisung, the human plushie.❞

Haechan wasn't done yet. ❝Honestly, though, he looks more like a hamster than a plushie.❞ He mimicked a hamster's nibbling motions, earning another round of laughter from the group.

Chenle, who had been watching with amusement, suddenly cooed and reached out to squish Jisung's cheeks. ❝He really does look like a hamster. So cute.❞

Jisung didn't protest this time, instead, he smiled at Chenle, his eyes softening at the affectionate gesture.

Haechan rolled his eyes dramatically. ❝Favoritism at its peak,❞ he muttered.

Renjun leaned back in his chair, shaking his head with a chuckle. ❝Whipped, absolutely whipped.❞

Jaemin nodded in agreement. ❝Totally. Chenle's got Jisung wrapped around his finger.❞

Mark smirked, adding to the teasing. ❝I mean, look at him. He's not even protesting.❞

Chenle blushed slightly but didn't let go of Jisung's cheeks. ❝Well, he did volunteer for the job,❞ he said, defending Jisung.

Jisung grinned, finally speaking up. ❝I don't mind. If it helps Chenle sleep better, I'm all for it.❞

The friends' laughter subsided into warm smiles and understanding looks. Despite the teasing, there was genuine affection and support in their eyes. They were happy to see Chenle and Jisung finding comfort in each other.

Haechan leaned in again, his tone softer but still playful. ❝Just don't forget us, okay? We can be plushies too if you need us.❞

Chenle laughed, shaking his head. ❝Thanks, Haechan. I'll keep that in mind.❞

Renjun gave Jisung a friendly nudge. ❝You're whipped asf.❞

Jisung smiled, his gaze shifting to Chenle. ❝I know.❞

The bell rang, signaling the end of their break. They gathered their things and headed to their next classes.

As they walked to their next class, Jisung leaned over and whispered, ❝I think Haechan's a little jealous.❞

Chenle chuckled. ❝He's just being Haechan. But honestly, thanks for everything, Jisung.❞

Jisung's smile was soft and genuine. ❝Anytime, Chenle. Anytime.❞

With that, they headed into their next class, side by side, ready to face the day together.
