14.

"Where did you go last night?" Jeonghan finally mustered up the courage to ask Seungcheol after they dropped off his siblings at their schools.

"You noticed?" Seungcheol responded, hands stuffed into his pockets disinterestedly, though Jeonghan noticed that Seungcheol's eyes had flickered over to him. Jeonghan nodded.

"It's kind of hard not to notice when two people leave for a long time. Where did you and Hangyeol-ah go?" Jeonghan repeated.

"Coffee shop. Hangyeol wasn't feeling that well, so I took her out to get some hot chocolate and fresh air. Why?" Seungcheol answered.

"Just...I was curious," Jeonghan replied with a shrug. Seungcheol frowned.

"Okay?"

"Hey, will you tutor me tonight?" Jeonghan requested. "It's really been helping."

"Didn't we already have a session at the beginning of the week?" Seungcheol said.

"Aw, c'mon, please? I have a test tomorrow," Jeonghan pouted.

"Fine," Seungcheol sighed. "It'll have to be later than usual though. I have work today."

"Oh, which job is it? Maybe I can come there to save time," Jeonghan suggested.

"That's...not a bad idea actually. It's the coffee shop near the school. You could hang out with some friends there until it's time for my break or time for my shift to end."

"You just want more customers, don't you?" Jeonghan grinned.

"You got me," Seungcheol teased back.

"Okay, I'll go there after school then. See you later?" Jeonghan asked rather than stated as they approached the entrance of their school.

"Didn't we just establish that?" Seungcheol rolled his eyes. "I'm going now. I'll see you later."

"Bye, Seungcheol!" Jeonghan called after the older boy.

Seungcheol raised a hand in farewell as he walked away to join his friends. Jeonghan decided to go find his friends too, and he was halfway across the courtyard before he found himself being attacked.

"Good morning!" Jeonghan heard a loud voice sing into his ear, clinging to his back. "How are you, Jeonghan-hyung?"

"In pain," Jeonghan grumbled. "Get off of me, Seokmin."

"Aw, you're no fun," Seokmin complained, but he obeyed Jeonghan anyways.

"Told you he'd get mad," Seungkwan smirked, walking over to the pair.

"He's not mad, just hurt. Probably because he had to see your face," Seokmin retorted cheekily.

"You're right. It must be hard to see such a beautiful face this early in the morning. My good looks are blinding, I know."

"Jeonghan-hyung! Good morning!" Soonyoung shouted, running over to the trio and jumping onto Jeonghan's back.

"Soonyoung! Off!" Jeonghan commanded. "How did I get stuck with two Seokmin's?!"

"It's a tragedy," Seungkwan nodded honestly.

"Hey, I was born first! If anything, Seokmin is like me!" Soonyoung defended himself.

"Kids, let's just go inside now," Jeonghan sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair.

"But Jisoo-hyung and Chan aren't here yet!" Seokmin protested.

"Jisoo is in a class president meeting, and if I remember correctly, I saw Chan with a girl earlier. I think she was confessing to him. He's probably already inside. Can we please go in? It's too loud out here."

"That's probably because of Seokmin," Seungkwan said, causing Seokmin to let out a bird-like squawk.

"R-rude!"

"My bad. Sorry."

"You don't sound sorry at all!"

"I'm not."

"Seungkwan!"
