[Junhong's POV]

I waited outside of the school and leaned against the brick wall, looking up every few seconds to see if the person I've been waiting for has finally showed up. About a minute later, Jota enters the campus and he's about to make his way up the steps until I walk towards him, "Hey."

He pivots around and takes one step back when he sees that I was the one that called his attention. "What do you want?"

He answered me with clear attitude in his voice and I'm compelled to smash his face into the ground but I stop myself. "I want a truce."

"A truce? Why?"

"Because we both care about Joy and she wants us to get along."

He scoffed and shook his head, "You're deranged if you think that we can get along. I couldn't stand you before, and Joy wasn't even dating you then. What makes you think that we can have a truce?" He turns around and continues walking up the steps.

"Sooner or later you're gonna have to accept the fact that we're dating because if you cant accept it, you're just going to be ruining your friendship with Joy." I called out, making him stop and face me again.

"You and I aren't going to be friends. But I'm not gonna risk losing Joy again." He sighed with defeat, "So fine. We'll have a truce."

[Joy's POV]

I was in the classroom by myself. I arrived at school with Junhong, but he said he had something to do before coming to class. I went to the back of the room and opened the window, letting a nice breeze in. I heard footsteps coming from behind me and I turned my head.

Just like yesterday, Jota was standing right behind me. He placed his backpack down on the floor but his eyes didn't leave mine.

"Hi." We say at the same time.

I clicked my heels once and decided I should just go to my desk now. "Wait Joy." Jota grabbed my hand and then let go. "Junhong spoke with me earlier."

"H-he did?" Were these two even capable of having a normal conversation? I looked at Jota's face really quick and it didn't seem like he had any bruises or scars, so I'm assuming that they didn't fight...

"We have a truce. We're gonna stay out of each other's way."

"So no more fights?" I clarified.

"That's right. But just know that even though you're dating someone else, I still lo----" The bell rang and I couldn't hear the end of his sentence.

Students came in and took their seats, among them was Junhong and he looked at me and Jota for a quick second before sitting down. "What was the last part?" I asked.

"Just forget it."

[3rd Person]

"Hey did I see you and Junhong talking this morning?" HeoJun whispered to Jota during lecture.

"Yeah." Jota replied, writing down notes the teacher wrote on the board.

"What'd he want?"

"We decided to have a truce."

HeoJun leaned in closer and punched Jota on his arm, "What the fuck, why?"

"Him and Joy started dating." Jota started to get irritated because he was trying to pay attention to the teacher.

"They are? Well that really sucks for you." HeoJun laughed. "See? What better reason to get his ass kicked out of school."

"Why do you care so much about getting him expelled??"

Heojun crumpled the paper in his hands and clenched his teeth. "Did you forget what he did? We won't let him get away with that."

"Oh wow some guy punched you once and it's hurting you ego." Jota mocked. "Give it up already."

[Joy's POV]

After Junhong dropped me off at home, he stayed until it became dark, then he stood up in the middle of watching Inkigayo. "It's getting late."

"Are you going to your place now?" I took his hand and started swinging it.

"Yeah. I don't really like driving too late cos that's when all the crazies are on the road." He joked.

"Hmm," I pondered. "Don't you get lonely when you go back to your apartment?"

"Well once I get home I just go straight to bed so it's not that lonely." He shrugged.

"Hmph. But you know my mom always comes home late and I get lonely soooo...."

"You're not even trying to be subtle are you?" He rolls his eyes and plops back on the couch next to me. "Alright fine. I'll spend the night and keep the big baby company."

A while later I came downstairs with blankets and pillows and threw them on top of Junhong.

"Why'd you bring me so many?" He said muffled under all the blankets.

"It's for me and you." I spead out the blanket and pressed the button on the couch to make it a pull-out.

"You're sleeping with me tonight?"

"Uh yeahhh." I pause. "Unless you don't want me to. Then I'll just go upstairs."

"Maybe you should just stay in your own room. The last time we slept together you kneed me in the stomach." Junhong muttered.

"Oh." I said sullenly. "Ok I'll sleep upstairs."

I turned around but I felt him tug the back of my sweater and I fell back and landed on his lap. "I was just joking."

"I can't tell when you're joking or not." I got off his lap and went to my side of the pull-out couch.

"You're cute." He says while we put our heads down on our pillows at the same time.

"You're not joking right?" I squinted my eyes at him.

"Well I could be." He mocks me.

"I'm just gonna say that you're not joking because I'm adorable and nothing you say will change my state of mind." I smirk as I close my eyes.

Junhong turns off the light next to him and I feel him hugging me close to him. "Hey," He whispers in my ear as I'm dozing off.

"Hmm?" I hum.

"I think I love you."

My eyes shoot wide open and I accidentally knee him in the stomach. "D-did you just say that you think you love me?"

"No." He answers and mumbles 'ouch.' Sooo what? Did I just have a really quick dream and I imagined him saying that?

"Well yeah I said that. But I meant to say that I do love you."

"You really do?" I said almost speechless. We had our first real kiss just yesterday and now he's confessing his love for me. If I wake up in a few seconds and this turns out to be a dream, I'm going to...Well I haven't decided what I would do yet, but I can assure you that it will be something dramatic.

"Yeah I do love you." So this isn't a dream. "I'm sorry if I'm not doing this right. If you wanted our first kiss or this confession to be more romantic. But I just...wanted to let you know now."

"No I don't care about where you do these things. Stuff like that doesn't matter." I tilted my head up and touched my lips to his for a short second. "I love you too."
