without you || nct dojae

chapter 12

*a week later*

the two boys went to school again as per normal. Jaehyun was discharged from the hospital and currently is living independently. his family tried numerous times in that first week to visit him, but their efforts were to no avail.

Doyoung avoided his own family by occupying himself in the room. he never bothered to come out and have a simple meal or chat with any of his family members except for Grandmother, who was always there to lend a helping hand.

Wednesday afternoon, during lunch break, Doyoung and Jaehyun unexpectedly bumped into each other again. unfortunately, Haechan and Jeno were with Jaehyun this time so they stared at the latter who stumbled over his words. thank God for WinWin who distracted the two by asking them to buy drinks with him.

awkward atmosphere set in for both Doyoung and Jaehyun who kept their heads down, maintaining the pride they have to. finally, the elder looked up and spoke.

" basically we meet again. lets formally introduce ourselves. annyeong, Kim Doyoung imnida~ are you Jung Jaehyun? because two of your hyungs are in my class, " Doyoung smiled at the younger, who felt a little of uneasiness when he mentioned his hyungs.

" ahaha ne~ Jung Jaehyun imnida. Donghae and Sungmin hyungs are both in your class? woo thats nice, " Jaehyun went mind blank. he had no idea what he said or what to say.

Doyoung laughed and patted Jaehyun's shoulder. the current time was 1.34pm, meaning that everyone had about another half hour of lunch.

" uhm, why dont we pick a table and talk? you seem like a really nice dongsaeng~ " Doyoung started. Jaehyun's eyes lit up and he blushed. thank God the hyung didnt see that, or else it would have been super embarrassing.

Doyoung unknowingly grabbed onto Jaehyun's arm and led him across the hall to the back, where the sinks were. both of them sat opposite each other and set their bags down.

" so... hows school so far as a First Year student? " Doyoung asked. Jaehyun shrugged his shoulders and flinched a bit, remembering he shouldnt move as much to prevent the injury on his back from opening again.

" well, its alright I guess. oh yeah, I take basketball for school activity here. you? " Doyoung's mouth opened and he smiled. the both of them immediately high-fived each other like as if they knew one another for a long time.

the two boys continued to chat all the way until the end of lunch break, realising that they would be late if they did not make it back to class on time.

" annyeong Doyoung hyungie~ it was really nice meeting you. anyway, what time do you end lessons? i'll be done by 3pm, " Jaehyun stated. Doyoung replied, saying his classes end by 3pm too and that they should walk to the bus stop together.

deal set, the two boys went off for their last lessons respectively.

meanwhile, Donghae and Sungmin were both staring at Doyoung from afar. they were spying on their dongsaeng who was talking to the latter for half of the break, which was a surprise considering that Jaehyun was always quiet and didnt talk much. he was the obedient yet irritating boy in their eyes, which explains why he received all those harsh beatings and never-ending 'lectures'.

the realisation that being a maknae has more advantages and disadvantages than being a hyung never crossed their mind, and they always had their will and way of coping with life and school.

finally, after that pathetic day of not being permitted to enter the ward, Donghae and Sungmin both worked like a pair of evil and disrespectful twins, trying to craft out situations and see what they could do to get back at Jaehyun for being mean and harming their feelings.

strong emotions of hatred and disgust filled them as soon as Doyoung entered the class. thankfully the teacher had not come in yet, or else he could be regarded as late.

the two boys went back to their seats and groaned.

" hyung, i swear i'll break and tear his face into pieces. he doesnt deserve uri Jaehyunn- "

" dont mention that fker. he's such a betrayer, and look at who's he hanging out with - a new school kid from our class who's pretty good and decent for us to make him learn the hard shit we face every day. like who tf cares man? whether or not we get to Doyoung before Jaehyun does, which i think is already failing, we have plenty of other methods to either brainwash this Kim or source out the losers, " Sungmin was so pissed he threw down his ddaki onto the floor and flipped over Donghae's one.

they stopped talking and faced the front, not caring about the teacher's presence. they didnt even acknowledge him nor greet him.

how are they model students in the eyes of others...
