"Have you guys heard? Jung Soojung confessed to Sehun today."

Jongin's hand froze in the air as he went to grab a french fry.

"Oh yeah! Everyone's talking about it. She's the first girl to ever confess to him." Chanyeol said with a grin.

"A lot of people are talking about how changed he was during and after the trip. They say he smiles a lot more often now and doesn't have the resting bitch face on 24/7." Kris pointed out. Jongin's fingers unconsciously tightened around his chopsticks.

"No wonder those girls would jump at the chance." Baekhyun nodded his head.

"Well... what did he say?" Jongin asked cautiously, trying to sound as casual and uninterested as possible. But deep inside he was dying to know.

"Oh, he rejected her." Chanyeol answered with a shrug.

Jongin had to fight a smile from forming on his face.

"That's crazy, you know? Soojung is pretty hot. A lot of guys would kill to get in her pants. Oh Sehun really is something."

Just then, the blonde was walking to their table with his tray of food. Jongin tried not to stare too hard at him. It was his first time seeing him after the trip and just his presence within a ten-foot radius was making his heartbeat speed up. Sehun sat down on the only empty seat at the table- the one right next to Jongin. Everyone at the table was staring at the blonde and he raised his eyebrows at them.

"What?"

"Dude, you got asked out by Jung Soojung. And you rejected her." Baekhyun said like it was the most ridiculous thing ever.

Sehun sighed as he remembered what happened earlier that day. It was so painfully awkward. Soojung was pretty, but he was just so surprised at that moment and said the first thing that came to his head. I'm sorry... I'm not interested in getting into a relationship right now. But what did Sehun know about relationships? Absolutely nil, zip, nothing. And he wasn't ready to try, especially not with a girl he had never even talked to before. Besides, he still wasn't even sure about his sexuality and he didn't want to lead on or hurt the girl.

"I'm guessing the whole school already knows." He said with a sigh.

"Yup, dude. Everyone's talking about it."

"Great."

"Yeah but why did you reject her?" Chanyeol asked curiously. The first thing Sehun did was glance at Jongin, and their eyes met for a brief second, before they both quickly looked away.

Sehun simply shrugged, "I don't know." It was an easier thing for him to say rather than elaborating on his half-baked thoughts.

"Wow. You are crazy, Oh Sehun." Kris said, shaking his head. Sehun glanced at Jongin again and the latter was just staring down at his food blankly.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Kim Jongin?

A few days passed and the two didn't talk at all. Jongin was so frustrated because things weren't getting better, they were getting worse. His eyes would always end up searching for him in the halls, in the cafeteria and in dance class. He'd see him laughing with other people, and it would make his blood boil, because he wasn't the one that was making him laugh. He saw his friends getting a little too close to him and all he wanted to do was put distance between them.

It took Jongin a while to realize that he was completely and utterly jealous. He was a jealous bitch and he wanted Sehun to be next to him all the time. It was honestly killing him inside and he was so frustrated. He couldn't take it any more.
