"P.E!" Shinyu exclaimed, their class was paired up with another, he knew that Jihoon's class had physical education at the same time, so he hoped that they would be together.

"God you sound cheerful." Youngjae muttered, in his opinion, sports in the morning wasn't a good idea. Especially if it was running, that was what they were currently doing. The students had to be spilt up into pairs and would have to count the amount of times their partner did half a lap of the football field. The older boy laughed and went up to Jihoon once he noticed that the boy was in the line of students following the teachers to the field. He was about to talk to the boy that he never stopped talking about; Han Zhen. 

He looked at his friends and noticed that Kyungmin was now conversing with Youngjae, Shinyu noticed the bright red blush on his cheeks and couldn't wait to tease him with it. He checked around the class, hoping he'd find someone to talk to. 

He found Kim Dohoon just behind Hanjin and decided to go see him. "Hey." He said, stuffing his hands in his pockets awkwardly. The younger boy waved at him and smiled, he ran his hand through his hair, messing it up slightly, displacing his blond highlights. Those specific blond highlights in Shinyu's eyes were a small thing making his appearance ever so slightly better, he didn't even know that was possible.

"Your hair makes you really handsome." He said while looking him in the eyes, Dohoon looked quite surprised to hear that, he thanked him though and ruffled his own hair once again. "So, uh," Shinyu looked around him awkwardly, he was nervous about asking him, but after a very short pep talk from himself, to himself in his head, he finally had enough courage. "Do you wanna pair up with me?" He asked him, and then looked at the floor, not wanting to see his reaction.

Dohoon smiled, he was glad that he was asked, he didn't want to be embarrassed by the teacher telling everyone that he was alone. And it wasn't just any classmate, it was Shinyu, a boy, that he'd be lying if he said he didn't, who he might've developed a tiny crush on. It wasn't surprising at all, the boy was exactly his type, from the way he dressed, his smile, to just his name alone. It was a name he found really pretty, and it fit him really well.

Visually, he already matched the boy's preferences almost perfectly, but his personality made him even more likable. 

"Earth to Dohoon?" Shinyu snapped his fingers in front of the boy's eyes, making him slightly jump, he smiled at the older boy and then accepted to be with him for this sports session. "Great!" The older boy smiled, his smile could light up an entire room with how bright it was.

Dohoon looked at the paper that had been distributed to them. He wrote Shinyu's name on one of them, and wrote his own on the other they had. He looked at the older boy who was reading the paper over his shoulder, but then simply rested his head on his shoulder, without saying a word. He wasn't looking at the paper anymore; either he had understood everything, or he had given up on understanding. "How much do you think you'll do?" The boy asked him, trying to sound as normal as possible, even if the butterflies in his stomach made it hard to speak in a normal way.

Shinyu hummed, and thought for a very short time. "I'll sprint 5 times." He started, that meant he would be going diagonally on half of the football field. "I'll jog, let's say, 6 times?" He continued, Dohoon wrote that on the paper. "So six times the length of half the field?" He asked, to make sure he understood everything correctly. Shinyu nodded and thought for the last category. "I won't walk any time." He finished and stood up, Dohoon noticed him slightly shivering in the cold weather.

For some reason, Shinyu had no coat at all. Dohoon's arms seemed to move on their own; he removed his own coat and put it over the elder's shoulders. He looked quite surprised, he clearly wasn't expecting anything like this coming from him. Once he was over the initial shock, he thanked him and slightly bowed. "Anytime hyung!" The boy smiled at him, he was about to add something else, but the teacher blew the whistle, indicating that Shinyu would have to go to his starting place. "Good luck!" He exclaimed, and watched him go to one of the closest corners of the field.

The teacher blew in the whistle again; this time, it meant that the 3 minutes of running had started. Dohoon was pretty sure Shinyu wouldn't be able to reach his goals, but didn't say anything about it. He knows himself better, so maybe he would be able to.

He watched Shinyu run, trying his hardest to concentrate on how much he was running, but found it much harder than he thought it would be. "Stunned by his beauty aren't you?" A voice that was quite high asked right behind him. He wasn't immediately able to turn around to see who it was, but based on the voice, he was pretty sure it was Kyungmin's.

"Shouldn't you be counting how much Youngjae's doing?" The boy asked, finally taking a quick look at him. Kyungmin just pointed at him almost done walking. "Oh." Dohoon stayed quiet after that, he watched his coat on Shinyu slip down as it wasn't closed at all. The boy had rolled up his shirt's sleeve, which made his shoulders exposed.

Dohoon quickly took his eyes off him, so that he wouldn't explode because of his beauty. "Fuck, that boy is gonna be the end of me." He muttered, Kyungmin laughed and threw his arm around the boy's shoulders. "That's fine, Shinyu-hyung is something right?" Dohoon nodded.

Even though he wasn't the one running, he was overjoyed when the whistle of the teacher was blown into. He would have one minute to check with Shinyu before going off to run himself; three minutes without Shinyu. That's all he needed.
