"Hey, Jongin."

Said boy paused his talk with Baekhyun to turn back to whoever was calling him and immediately froze. He didn't expect to see a smiling Kyungri looking back at him.

"Uh, hi," He replied, albeit a little nervously. He unconsciously looked to see if Sehun was anywhere around.

"Can I talk to you for a second?"

Jongin turned to Baekhyun, sending him an urgent 'help me' look but the latter simply smirked at him.

"You guys go ahead. I was going to go look for Yeollie, anyway." He subtly winked at Jongin and walked off, leaving a gaping brunette behind him. So much for fucking friendship, Byun Baekhyun.

Kyungri cleared her throat and he turned around to look at her again.

"Well? What is it?" He asked, trying to sound as disinterested and bored as possible.

"I was just wondering why you stopped talking to me after the trip. I had a really good time with you, you know."

Jongin gulped.

"What happened back there was nothing and you know it. I wouldn't be expecting much if I were you."

She sighed, "I wasn't, really. But what can I say? I've missed you."

Jongin let out an exasperated breath and ran his fingers through his hair, "What do you want?"

"I like you, Jongin."

"I'm sorry but I'm seeing someone right now."

She chuckled, "How long will this one last? A week?"

"More than a week and two and many for that matter," He said confidently, feeling a little ticked off now.

Her eyebrows perked up in an amused manner, "Oh really? The notorious bad boy Kim Jongin is in an actual, serious relationship?"

"Yup."

"Are you kidding?"

"Not at all."

The girl just stared at him incredulously for a minute and Jongin sighed.

"Look, if that's all you had to tell me, can I go now?"

"What's her name?" Kyungri asked instead, ignoring his question. Jongin bit his lip.

"That is none of your concern," He said firmly and with a final forced smile, he walked away.

When lunch break came along, Jongin was giddy as usual to go see Sehun and sit beside him. But he frowned once he saw everyone except the said blonde sitting at the table.

"Where's Sehun?" He asked his friends without even bothering to say "Hi". It wasn't like they cared much anyway.

Minseok shrugged, "I don't know. He didn't show up."

"Oh... I'm gonna go look for him, then." Without waiting for a reply, he strode out of the cafeteria. He noticed people giving him looks and he figured word about what he said to Kyungri that morning must have already gotten around. No surprise there, really. In fact, it's a good thing everyone now knew he was in a serious relationship so they could just stay in their lanes.

Jongin went to the first place where he thought he would find Sehun; the rooftop. He'd known the younger long enough to know that he had a special affinity for that place. And sure enough, he was there, leaning against the railing. Jongin took a moment to appreciate how the wind played gracefully with his soft blonde hair and smiled as he made his way to him, snaking his arms around his waist from behind and resting his chin on his broad shoulder. Sehun jumped slightly in surprise but calmed down when he noticed it was just Jongin.
