It Started With Something (Minsung + Hyunlix)

16. Hyunjin

Hyunjin wipes his lips on the back of his hand as he exits the bathroom, smirk on his face. Behind him, a flushed Felix walks the opposite direction, shy smile on his lips. He heads down the hall, hands in his pockets as he nears his class.

The boy walks in and sits back down next to Minho, who is too busy looking out the window to notice him. Hyunjin frowns when he sees the dreamy look on his face and genuine smile. It was weird, and very suspicious.

"How did you know that you liked Felix?" The elder turned as he spoke, tapping his pen in a rhythmic beat on his blank paper. The taller looked at him, confused.

"Well," he leaned forward, resting his temple on his fist, propped up on his elbow to face Minho. "I guess I just couldn't stop thinking about. No matter where I was or what I was doing, he never left my mind." Hyunjin answered. The other nodded, going to look out the window.

"Even now, not a moment goes by that I don't think about him."

The younger watched his friend return to eyeing the sky outside. He eyed Minho the rest of the lesson, only tearing his eyes away to pack up. The elder took his time to stand and pack his things before following Hyunjin into the hall.

Next for them was Math, meaning the taller would get to sit next to his boyfriend. The thought put a smile on his face as he walked. Minho still seemed lost in thought as they walked into class.

Felix waved to him from the back and the other had to stop himself from running to him, instead walking calmly and in a way that he thought made him seem cool.

"Hey." The younger said shyly, looking at his hands as his boyfriend sat down.

"Hey."

The teacher walked in, heels clacking on the floor as she cleared her throat.

"Morning class, today I'll be going over the subjects you should study for the exam." Hyunjin leaned towards Felix.

"So, need any help with anymore problems?" He asked, smirking and raising an eyebrow. The blonde smacked his shoulder.

"No-but... I'll let you know in the future." He replied, blushing madly. The elder turned back to the teacher, smug and proud of making the boy flustered.

"Hyunjin, can you tell me what this would be simplified?" The dark haired looked at the board, seeing a mix of letters and numbers.

"5pq + 7²" He answered confidently.

"Correct." The teacher went on to explain the answer and multiple other questions, calling on different people in the class.

"Wow, how'd you do that?" Felix whispered from beside him, amazed at his math skills. The boy just shrugged.

"Practice, I guess." He could hear the younger elicit another wow before leaning back in his chair.

"Felix, can you answer this question?" He sat up, looking at the board with a blank stare. Below the table, his knee was nudging his boyfriend's.

"8y + 3³ - 23" He whispered, quiet enough that no one could hear him except for the blonde beside him.

"8y + 3³ - 23" Felix answered in a shaking voice.

"Correct." He slumped back, letting out a relieved sigh.

"Thanks babe." He said quietly, hand snaking to hold onto Hyunjin's. The elder interlocked their fingers under the table, out of view. The taller sat up, sitting forward and tilting his head to look at the boy.

"So, do you think I deserve something for helping you?" He smiled mischievously. Felix sat up, leaning close to him so that his breath fanned across his face.

"Yeah, like what?" Hyunjin smirked, free hand travelling up the younger's thigh.

"Oh, I could think of a few things." It felt like the classroom had faded around them, only for the couple to be ripped cruelly from their delusion.

"Felix! Hyunjin!" They both jumped back, hands to themselves and facing the front.

"Yes?" The blonde gulped nervously, very aware of what they were just caught doing.

"You too seem to be having fun, but it's time to pay attention. Focus, please. One more time and you'll get a detention." They both nodded and she went back to teaching. When she was turned, the couple had to hold back their laughs.

"Shit, we need to be more careful. We can not get caught doing something like we were about to!"

Hyunjin nodded, agreeing with his boyfriend and slipping his hand back into the younger's. The couple tried to concentrate, but barely lasted a minute before they were whispering to each other again.

"Did you want to come over to my place again tonight?" Felix asked the elder, placing a hand on his thigh. "My parents aren't back yet."

Hyunjin smirked again.

"Yeah, but what would we do?" He said, feigning ignorance to tease the other. The younger dragged his fingers up slowly.

"Well, I could think of a few things?" He shot the elder's words back at him.

"Boys!" The teacher shouted, causing them both to jump back again. "That's it, after school detention for the both of you!"

Felix groaned, dramatically dropping his head onto his arms, pretending he was unhappy with their punishment. As the teacher turned around to keep talking, he shifted slightly, revealing an eye slightly covered in blonde locks.

He sent a quick wink to Hyunjin before sitting up and starting to copy notes from the board.
