Jisoo's P.O.V

I let myself relax in my seat, staring up at the cream colored ceiling and thinking. I enjoyed the quietness of the room, I rarely got this sort of beak. I turned my head when I heard some soft yawning and I was met by Jeonghan's sleepy gaze. It made me smile.

"Good morning sleepy head~" I hummed and he moved to rub his eyes.

"Aish..what time is it?" He yawned and lifted his arms for a quick stretch.

I lifted my shoulders, easily pulling out my phone and checking the time for him. "It's almost eleven." I watched as his tired expression almost immediately snapped into a horrified one.

"Almost eleven?! I slept through first and second period?!" He gasped, eyes wide. "Why didn't you wake me up, Jisoo!"

I laughed softly, shaking my head. "Calm down Jeonghan-ah. You needed sleep. The world isn't going to end just because you missed two hours of studies, yeah?" I smiled at him, watching his expression soften at the sight of me showing concern for him.

I don't know why he does that, why he gets surprised when I express that I care about him. That's what friends do, right? They take care of each other.

Jeonghan stared down at my sweater in silent thought for a little before looking at me again.

"But why did you stay back and miss your classes as well?" He asked, tilting his head.

I lifted my shoulders once again. "I was going to, but then I decided I should stay and relax a little anyways because I didn't want you waking up here all alone." I turned my head foreword, reading over the things that the teacher previously wrote on the chalkboard.

"Oh," I suddenly remembered something. "Seungcheol waited for you here after class but you were sleeping." I closed my eyes, accidentally letting a small yawn push through my lips.

"He said he'd take notes for you so you didn't miss out on much. Very nice of him."

I didn't open my eyes but I knew he was nodding in agreement with me. "Mm..well.." As he spoke again I opened my eyes.

Jeonghan got his own phone out of his backpack, turning it on.  "The next class will start shortly, so I guess I should go ahead and get to my locker while I have time." He said, beginning to pack up his things. I stood up too.

"I'll go with you. I have free time too, obviously." I smiled and he hesitantly smiled back.

After he packed up all of his stuff, he reached for my sweatshirt, fingers brushing over the soft material. He lifted it, walking towards me and handing it to me. "Thanks for letting me use it by the way, I appreciate it." He laughed.

I nodded my head, draping the jacket over my arm and gathering up my bag. "Shall we go?"
"We shall!" He replied, hoisting all of his things onto his back and into his arms. We walked out of the classroom together, down the empty halls and over to his locker while making small talk.

"Will you vote for Soonyoung for class president?" I asked Jeonghan, slyly grabbing a binder that was about to fall out of his arms.

He set his bag down on the floor as we finally reached his locker, taking a few seconds to open it. "Of course. I keep telling him I won't just to tease him but of course I'll support him." He said with unloading some things and shoving them into his locker. "I think Soonyoung deserves it. It's like the only thing Junhui isn't keeping him from doing." I replied, making a face.

"I asked Soonyoung if he would come with me to get some groceries yesterday and Jun wouldn't let him. I don't know what his deal is. Jun was the one who broke up with Soonyoung anyways and he is ten times more 'protective' now that they're over."

Jeonghan's eyes widened. "Junhui broke up with Soonyoung? But..they acted like they usually do. If you hadn't said anything just now I would've thought they were still a couple."

I ran my fingers through my hair. "It's really complicated lately. He acts as though nothing ever happened and Soonyoung just smiles and nods because he doesn't know what he's supposed to do."

Jeonghan obviously felt bad, it was written all over his face. "I had no idea." He murmured, continuing to do whatever he was doing in his locker.

Something that was almost never mentioned between the seven of us in my friend circle, no matter how close we all were, was Junhui and Soonyoung's relationship. It was hardly even a relationship, it was so much like a father and his annoying yet cute son kinda thing that we all forgot about it over time up until just recently when they broke up. But nothing has changed, they still act exactly the same besides Junhui being even more harsh to him now than he was.

"Should I say something to him? I'm worried now." Jeonghan frowned, thinking back to how Soonyoung acted so normal with him this morning. "Aniyo," I quickly said, making Han turn around.

"Hm?"

"Don't bring it up to him, okay? I think we should just leave it be for now."

"..are you sure? What if maybe he needs somebody right now?" Jeonghan asked, still uneasy about it.

"Don't worry, Jeonghan. Just let things settle down a little before you talk to him about it."

He nodded slowly and jumped a bit as the bell startled him. I couldn't help but chuckle, reaching my hand out to pat his back. "Hey, I should go. Sleep well tonight." I teased and he blushed a little, flustered. He waved goodbye and I went ahead and walked to my next class, catching one last glimpse of Jeonghan before I did. He looked panicked all of the sudden but I was already too far to walk back up to him- I'd just ask about it later.

I didn't proof read this one so please let me know if I have any mistakes- sorry vuv
