"Yah! Are you still following that transfer student around? Still convincing him to be your friend? It's been a few days. Wow, you're working hard." Donghyuck blurts and Renjun agrees.

"Am I?"

"You goddamn is." said Mark and chuckled.

Jeno shrugged and rested his body on his seat. He scans the whole place if there's a sign of Jaemin but none. Surely, that boy is alone again somewhere where nobody is around and he must find him. No matter what.

"I wouldn't be shocked if one day you came and told us that you like Jaemin." Donghyuck said while shaking his head slowly and Chenle agreed by nodding.

"Me? What? Why would I like him?"

"I don't know. I just can see it. The way you approach him even though he's trying to avoid you and make you stay away? Yet you still don't give up even if you look like a stupid. That's the sign." said Donghyuck again.

"You should stop watching romantic tv dramas. You're being weird, you know? Maybe Jeno just wanted to help him and become his friend. You're overthinking." Renjun showed his displeasure and gave Donghyuck a nasty look. It's not that Renjun thinks his friend looks nasty or anything, but it's the way Donghyuck thinks.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm telling what can possibly happen in the future." he defended.

Is he a god or something to predict like that? Donghyuck sounds so sure of what he was saying. What if someday, he'll really end up liking Jaemin rather than thinking of him as a friend? No, he shouldn't think that way. He'll be in trouble and isn't sure if Jaemin would feel the same.

"By the way, is there any spot here in school where there's no student coming around?" Jeno confusedly asked while thinking where Jaemin could go at this time.

"A stock room maybe?" Jisung said.

"You fucking kidding me?" his eyebrow raised and Jisung flustered.

"I'm just thinking of a place where no exact student is coming!" Jisung whines innocently and scrunches his nose.

"Alright. Just where exactly is the place?"

"Rooftop? No one goes there. Why do you ask?" said Mark.

Jeno shook his head. They did not know how introverted Jaemin is so probably they don't have an idea of what he's thinking right now.

Rooftop? That's right, or maybe at the garden from that day when he followed him. He must check both of the places or if he can't really find him, he'll just sneak in at the admin's room where you can see a numerous tv screen of the cctv camera inside the school so he can find Jaemin easily.

Jeno rushes as fast as he can through the garden at first, but there is no Jaemin there, and the final location to go is on the rooftop, so Jeno runs rapidly once again. He's not weary, in fact, he's very excited.

"I knew it!" he said when he saw Jaemin sleeping with his earphone plugged in. Jeno tiptoed and made sure that he didn't make any sound until he reached Jaemin. This boy obviously wanted to run away from him and make a long distance from everyone so no one could touch him.

Because of that, Jeno became more curious about him, and his life. What really happened to him and caused him to be like this? Did he close his heart so anyone can't enter inside? Jaemin can't do that forever.

He flicked Jaemin's forehead, not really hard. Just enough to wake him up. The moment Jaemin opened his eyes, he almost jumped in surprise. He didn't expect that he'd see Jeno and found him easily.

"What the hell? Why are you here?" Jaemin exclaimed.

"Do you think you can run away from me? Wherever you go, I will find you."
