Jealousy // Jingyeom

Chapter 13

Yugyeom stared at Jaebum and Jackson in shock, his face one of confusion. Not wanting to get spotted by his hyungs, he picked his things up and ran away to class hurriedly, feeling rather flustered.

"Hey, I have an idea on how to get Jinyoung to confess!" Jackson's eyes lit up. Jaebum raised his eyebrows in curiosity as he leaned in to hear what ''brilliant'' plan Jackson has thought of.

A smile played on Jaebum's lips. It was the first time Jackson had thought of something useful or smart. ''Let's do it.''

''Don't bother me now, Jaebum hyung. I had a really rough day,'' Jaebum was getting on Jinyoung's nerves during recess that day.

''My answer is no. I will not go to the club with you guys tonight. I'm too tired. Plus, I've never been to one before,'' Jinyoung protested for the thousandth time. Jaebum pouted. How were they going to get their plan to work when Jinyoung did not want to comply?

Just then, an idea struck his mind. ''Pleaseeee, Jinyoungie? Drinks will be on me and you can get anything you want. Trust me, you'll have the time of your life!'' Jaebum pleaded, a hint of hope in his eyes.

Jinyoung pondered about it. He did like the idea of having free food and drinks...

Rolling his eyes, he agreed reluctantly, which made Jaebum dance around the room in glee. Everyone was staring at him, but he did not give a shit. His second favourite ship (first being 2jae) was going to sail- and it would be because of him.

That night at 9pm sharp, all seven of them set off to the pub. The moment Jinyoung stepped into that place, he scrunched his nose in disgust. The whole room just smelt of alcohol and sex. It was when he saw a few bodies grinding on each other on the dance floor when he begun to regret his life choices. He definitely would not come here ever again.

Convincing himself that he was just here for the food, he forced himself to stay and tagged along with the others.

''Okay so I'll have one of these, two of these and four of these thank you,'' Jinyoung pointed at what he wanted to order on the menu as the waiter tried to look at what Jinyoug was pointing to and write down the orders at the same time.

Jaebum buried his face in his hands. He could not believe that he had agreed to pay for all of the food that Jinyoung had bought. He regretted his decisions and made a mental note to never ever promise Jinyoung anything, especially when it had something to do with money.

Now it was time for phase two of Jaebum and Jackson's plan. ''10 shots of alcohol please, keep 'em coming,'' Jackson told the waiter in a serious tone. ''Hey Jinyoung hyung, bet you can't drink five shots in one go!'' Youngjae mocked.

Jinyoung faked an expression of hurt and shock as placed his hand over his heart. He hated it when people thought that he was a weakling when he clearly wasn't. Furthermore, his hobby was to prove people wrong, and that was exactly what he was about to do. ''I can to!'' Jinyoung argued.

Jaebum smirked and covered  his mouth with his hand, trying not to laugh. He had known Jinyoung all his life, and one thing he knew for sure was that Jinyoung had an extremely low tolerance level for alcohol. Two sips and he would be out like a candle that was being fed carbon dioxide.

Jaebum's conclusion had drafted out exactly the way he had pictured it to. Ten minutes later, Jinyoung's head was on the table as he muttered gibberish. Yugyeom seemed to be the only one that was concerned about Jinyoung. He tried to shake Jinyoung awake but to no avail.

Just then, ding! He got a notification from his mom. Her text read, ''I have fallen down at home and am at the hospital right now. You don't have to worry about me.'' Jaebum faked an expression of concern and shock as he announced the news to everybody.

However, Markson and 2jae did not freak out. It was all apart of their plan- to get everyone to leave the place so that Jingyeom could have their alone time. The text was from Jackson but Jaebum just changed Jackson's contact name from ''wild and sexy gay ass'' to ''mom''.

Mark and Youngjae had already been briefed about the plan but they did not know the reason behind it. All they knew was that if they played along, they would get a ''reward'' from their boyfriends when they got home.

''Omo, we have to go to the hospital now!'' Mark said frantically. Yugyeom pointed at Jinyoung and asked his hyungs how they were going to carry a drunk Jinyoung out of the club. Jaebum was not expecting that Yugyeom would want to go with. After all, he had just concluded that Yugyeom would volunteer to stay and take care of Jinyoung.

Just then, Jinyoung awoke from his stupor, patting Yugyeom on his shoulder and gaining his attention. When Yugyeom turned his head to look at his hyung, Jaebum took this opportunity to make his escape. Dragging a reluctant Bambam along with him, they exited the club as Jaebum thanked Jinyoug for saving his ass.

''We're not kidnapping him, right?'' Jackson pointed at the struggling Bambam, who was letting out muffled screams. ''Of course not,'' Jaebum tried to convince himself. ''Yes, we are!'' Youngjae was just trying to state the obvious. ''Shut up or you'll get punished when we get home,'' Jaebum growled, causing his boyfriend to blush.

Markson was just at the side, judging them as they made puking noises. Jaebum narrowed his eyes at them. ''Come on guys, I'm sure you do it too.'' Jackson laughed before replying with a ''touche''.

Yugyeom felt Jinyoung tap him on the arm and calling his name. ''Yes, hyung?'' Yugyeom asked in concern. There was silence and awkwardness in the air. Yugyeom still did not know how to talk to Jinyoung properly ever since he overheard Jackson and Jaebum's conversation that morning.

''You're cute,'' Jinyoung said before smiling like an idiot. His words caught Yugyeom by surprise and he widened his eyes in shock. His cheeks was tinted a light shade of pink. ''W...What?'' Yugyeom stuttered.

Jinyoung rolled his eyes and  waved his hands in the air as a sign of annoyance. He replied,'' You mean you don't know? I like you, Yugyeomie! I like you so much!'' With that, he laughed his ass off and doubled over in laughter. ''You're... so... blind!'' he said in between laughs.

Yugyeom's eyes were as wide as an owl's. Letting out a fake laugh, he asked,'' Your kidding, right? I'm dating Bambam I can't break his heart he treats me well and he loves m-''

''Come on Yugyeom, you know you love me and me only. We will be happy together, as a couple. I know for a fact that you do not love Bambam. Come on, admit it,'' Jinyoung cut off Yugyeom's words.

Yugyeom looked down at the ground, his gaze uneasy. Jinyoung was right.
