"you feeling better?", jun asked, his arms draped around the younger's waist.

minghao had visited his sister the day before. she was in critical condition, the doctor said there's a high chance that she'd be able to survive if they perform surgery on her.

minghao agreed to have the surgery. he had no other choice.

"alot better", minghao smiled, poking the older's cheek.

"good", jun smiled back, glad that the younger had recovered from his days of despair.

jun then felt his phone buzz. he took it out of his pocket. it was message from jihoon.

jihoon 🌞 :
[we're going to meet you soon]
[somewhere near that vending machine selling tea]

"jun, i need to go to the washroom", minghao nudged the older, gesturing to the nearby toilet.

jun nodded and minghao left for the washroom.

jun looked around for awhile before walking towards the vending machine. in no time at all, soonyoung and jihoon were walking towards him.

"hey", soonyoung fist bumped him, a small smile on his face. he was holding an envelope, probably containing the money.

"okay, firstly. i'd like to say sorry", soonyoung started.

"for what?", jun frowned, confused.

"for doing this stupid bet with you", soonyoung sighed.

"i heard that minghao's sister was involved in a fatal explosion in her lab from mingyu. i'm going to give the money to you because i know that you were there when he had his hard time. you don't need to show me any proof of him without make up. so, here", soonyoung took jun's hand and placed the envelope on it.

jun wanted the money but he did alot of thinking, and he felt bad somehow. he didn't want it anymore.

soonyoung smiled before turning around to walk away before jun quickly pulled his hand, stopping him from turn around, dazed.

"i can't take this money. you should just keep it. i don't deserve it", jun gave the envelope back ,"go and buy yourself some mcdonald meals with the money, okay?".

soonyoung chuckled ,"i'm just... really sorry for creating this whole mess for you".

"it's fine", jun pat his head, chuckling.

the two shared a friendly hug, promising each other to make no more bets.

soonyoung and jihoon left soon after. jun let out a content sigh, turning around. he almost jumped when he saw minghao leaning against the locker behind him.

"m-minghao... did you hear everything?", jun slowly walked to the younger, wrapping his arms around his waist.

"yes i did, you pabo", minghao teasingly hit his arm, softly laughing.

"... are you mad?", jun asked.

"no. why would i be?", minghao laughed, ruffling the older's hair. jun smiled in relief.

the two had actually planned to meet in the hallway, only because jun said that he missed minghao too much.

"shall we go back to our classes?", minghao suggested, considering they had already skipped one period and a half of their class.

jun nodded and he clutched minghao's hand, walking him to class.

"jun", minghao said repeatedly when they fell into a short silence.

"yes???".

"i love you too", minghao muttered sheepishly.

"oh... you heard what i said that night?", jun's eyes widened slightly. not because he was scared or anything, because he was probably embarrassed.

minghao nodded, smiling cheekily. jun laughed softly, gently pinching the younger's cheek.

"i love you more".
