Puppy Love • Seungchan/Chanmin

•⊱•••• 30 ••••⊰•

"Chan, I swear to god," Seungmin mumbles under his breath as he pulls at his school pants. They felt particularly suffocating against his sore thighs, the itchy fabric in no way breathable.

Normally he opted for shorts because they were loose and comfy to sit in, but this morning when he'd put them on and looked in the mirror, he'd quickly realised that it didn't hide his thighs the way he needed them to.

One bruise he could probably get away with, but looking in the mirror there were at least 5 very purple and red splotches visible, if people noticed those, surely, they would notice that those marks went even higher. He didn't want to have to explain them to a nosy teacher or be called slurs from his peers. He was already having a hard time as it is, hiding them from his parents. He'd changed into pants after Chan had left on Sunday and their glances didn't go unnoticed.

This morning he'd sent a mirror selfie to Chan in his shorts, asking what he should do, but the older was in no way helpful and told him he looked sexy and asked "Do you want more lol? xxx"

Seungmin had sent back a series of emojis rolling their eyes and Chan sent a sticker with a winking husky. Typical, considering the older had confessed his thighs were his favourite thing to look at. Seungmin shouldn't have expected anything less.

So, with no help from Chan, pants it was.

Seungmin twists and picks up his sandwich from his locker before darting over to Jisung's locker. Minho had a team meeting to go to for an upcoming game this Thursday, so Jisung had messaged and asked if he wanted to hang out during lunch.

Being the only person other than his parents right now that knew about Chan, Seungmin was in dire need to get some things off his chest and was happy to hang out with the younger.

"So where do you wanna sit?" Seungmin prompts as the squirrel-faced boy bounds on his feet, potato chips already filling up his cheeks.

"Minho and I usually sit behind the canteen if it's just us, but if Changbin joins we sit in E-Block. Maybe we could sit down by the oval for something different? You and your friends usually hang out by the science wing, don't you?"

Seungmin nods his head, "Yeah science wing or the staircase just outside if the year 7s get there first"

Jisung laughs, "Year 7s are a pain in my ass"

"Agreed!"

Within minutes Seungmin and Jisung settle under one of the shadier trees, stretching out in the grass.

"So how are you and Minho doing? I missed your latest gossip last week because someone ditched"

Jisung pouts, "I didn't ditch! I was just sick. It wasn't pretty. I'm better now though, promise." Jisung takes a bite of his sandwich. "I was actually supposed to go out with Minho that day too, we ended up going out on Saturday instead"

Seungmin nudges Jisung's side, "Your first date, ey?"

Jisung hunches over his sandwich and blushes. "Technically yes, unless you count the Saturday prior to that one. After we'd spoken in class, I invited Minho over because he wanted to talk about some things and my parents were supposed to be out so I thought we could have a fun day at home. Kinda wanted to rip off that band-aid. But then they decided they weren't going out and gate-crashed, which was so awkward. I could barely look Minho in the eye, let alone talk to him in my room with them only a door away. So, we ended up walking down to the milk bar and eating lunch in the park and then Minho went home"

"Aww it's still something! Did you manage to get any cuddles in, or kisses?" Seungmin encourages.

Jisung looks up with a cheeky grin. "We did! Although I was nervous as shit, we held hands and then Minho kissed me at the top of the playground. That was until a bunch of kids decided we were blocking the slide and insisted we move"
