As time went on, the two got closer. Sehun made sure he was with jongin at all times and even Kyungsoo warmed up to sehun.
"Sehun we're not going straight home after school, were going to grab some food at the diner. Coming?" Kyungsoo asked while jongin hummed along to the song he was listening to with his earphones.
They were sitting in sehuns place behind the school. It was a strange sight to onlookers as sehun was always by himself and the fact that there were TWO other human beings in his area gave people something to talk about.
Sehun nodded as a reply then turned to Jongin. "You're so selfish. Give me one." He yanked out the right earphone and placed it in his own ear. They had come to the realisation after their trip last week to the theme park that they both shared the same taste in music.
Jongin shivered as sehun sat closer to him, his arm touching his arm, his thigh touching his thigh. Jongins head mere millimetres away from sehuns shoulder as if it was calling for him to lean on. He felt hot and bothered and it made his insides turn. He loved and hated the way sehun made him feel.
“I er- I’m. I, move along please.”
“why would I do that. How am I supposed to share the earphones if I move away from you.” Sitting so close to Jongin was sehuns way of flirting. Jongins reaction made him think its not working. When sehun found out that Baekhyun was Jongins previous crush, he immediately looked him up and stalked his Instagram. He found that Baekhyun is short and cute. It frustrated Sehun so much. He didn’t understand what Jongin sees in him. Okay yeah hes cute, but like a baby cute. Not fancy-able in Sehuns eyes. Sehun thought he had no chance. He was the total opposite. He was tall, broad and manly. Or so he liked to think.
“Ill put it on loud then.”
“NO. im trying to study, you two are already making so much noise. Whats your problem Jongin just let him share.” Kyungso said scowling at the two.
“Fine. Ill move.” Sehun was just about to shuffle away from him when Jongin grabbed his arm.
“No, its fine. Stay.”
‘whats wrong with me. Why do I make everything so complicated. Get a hold of yourself shithead.’ Jongin scolded himself in his mind.
After school had ended, the three went to the local diner and got the usual chicken burger and chips and a glass of coke.
"Okay but that's ridiculous. Why on earth would suho cheat on his math test? He's like one of the first rankers." Kyungsoo said, mouth full of chips.
"Its probably just a rumour Kyungsoo." Jongin replied abesntmindedly, too focused on sehun to care about Kyungsoos rant.
Jongin noticed sehun was unusually quiet. He didn't talk much anyways but this time his perfectly shaped eyebrows were furrowed and his lips were in a pout. It was the cutest sight to see in jongins opinion but it bugged him. He could tell there was something on his mind.
"NAYANA NAYANA" Kyungsoos phone blared wanna ones song.
"Yes mum. okay mum. bye mum. Hey guys I'm off now, I'm running late for our family games night. I totally forgot it's a Friday." He rolled his eyes, grabbing his bag to leave.
Sehun hadn't eaten much, just playing with his food and taking a bite here and there. Jongin couldn't take it anymore.
"Erm Sehun. Are you Okay? It's just you look upset and you haven't eaten much."
Sehun smiled weakly and Jongin could feel the butterflies turning into pterodactyls.
"Well. Okay it's going to sound stupid. Promise you won't judge me?" Said said after a while. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
'We're friends now, he didn't judge me the last time I told him something so what's the harm in telling him this?' Sehun thought to himself. He was uneasy with this topic. He was ashamed of how dependent he felt at times like this.
"I wouldn't judge you stupid. You're a fucking dick, I couldn't really judge you more than that now could I?" Jongin retorted, proud of himself that he could string together a sentence without stuttering because sehun looked so kissable.
"Fuck off." Sehun sighed, sounding fed up with Life.
"Tell me."
"You know last week when we went to the theme park? Well I asked if we could go because well I didn't really want to go home. Because it's my day off on Fridays but my mum's at work and I don't like being home alone. It's just, if I'm alone at home, I have a lot of time on my hands and there's nothing to distract me from my thoughts. And let's just say my thoughts aren't very healthy." Jongin nodded reassuringly. He understood him, it was expected, someone with a rough past like his, some kind of negativity had to be floating around his aura.
"And it's Friday today, and you don't want to go home?"
"Yeah, my mum only started working on Fridays since last month and I tried sitting at home but it was always a disaster. I don't know what to do. I might just go to the library and study and shit." He looked so miserable and it was breaking Jongins heart.
"Well I would say I'll join you or we could do something but I have to babysit my sister today, so how about you come to mine?"
Sehun noticed the nervous smile on jongins face. His smile always seemed to make sehun feel so much better. When jongin smiled or laughed it was enough to turn grey skies blue. Sehun liked to crack stupid jokes to Jongin just to hear his laugh that was like music to his ears.
"I think your sister hates me after our last encounter."
"When you said she has shit music taste? Haha yeah she probably does but it's okay she hates me too." Sehun smiled, pleased with himself that he was able to get a giggle out of jongin again, instantly making his mood a little better.
He couldn't help but feel like maybe he needed Jongin in his life more than he thought. Maybe Jongin will save him instead of him saving Jongin.
