[ lee jihoon ]

     "mr. lee, do you have any idea on why soonyoung seem to be upset?" the teacher asked jihoon, who was paying attention with his teacher'a lectures. he shooked his head, "no, ma'am. i have no idea why." jihoon was keeping his phone below his desk as he looks at his teacher. his teacher nodded and continued to discuss about the history of korea. jihoon listened very carefully and waited for hoshi to come- he also made him notes so that the older one could catch up with the lectures that his teacher was giving. soonyoung took a while but he finally came back from the washroom. his eyes were red, he assumed it was; first, because he was crying. or second, because he has sore eyes. soonyoung sat down next to jihoon quietly and rested on his armchair.

  "do you not feel well? i could tell ma'am and court you to the clinic if you feel unwell." jihoon asked, whispering. he held out his hand over to soonyoung's forehead to "know" his temperature. soonyoung wasn't burning hot nor was he icy cold. he has the normal temperature that everyone has. jihoon sighed and returned hoshi's notebook, he looked over to his back. junhui was seated behind jihoon.

  "what is it? do you need something, jihoon?" jun asks, looking at jihoon's soft face. jihoon shooked his head and pointed at soonyoung. "what's with soons? did you fall for him alread-" jun wasn't able to continue his question that was also a joke because both jihoon and wonwoo smacked him. the class laughed at the three and the teacher did too. despite being hit, jun laughs as well. everyone- well, almost everyone, was laughing at jihoon and wonwoo's actions. although, hoshi was an excemption. he wasn't interested nor was he curious of what was happening. he burried himself deeper into his arms, and decided to doze off.

  woozi noticed hoshi's actions so he tapped his shoulder. "what?" soonyoung asks, annoyance was barely heard in his voice. "you've been acting off, did i do something wrong?" woozi asked hoshi, using his monotone voice. even if it was monotone, concern was still heard. it wasn't a forced tone that jihoon used to use whenever someone was feeling unwell. it was genuine. just like his smile, just like his caring words, just like his love for his friends.
"you didn't do anything wrong, i'm just feeling a bit dizzy and stressed." soonyoung bit his lip and decided to not look at jihoon. jihoon rested his chin on his armchair and nodded, he knew that the older isn't telling the truth. but what could he do? he might trigger an angry soonyoung. and what's worse is that; he was the reason why hoshi would be angry.

  jihoon sighed and stood up, "wonwoo hyung, let's change places." wonwoo stood up and nodded. he took his favorite book with him and decided to have a little chat with soonyoung before he starts focusing his attention to the book that he's holding.

  jun looks at jihoon and pat his head. "you seem down, hoshi seems down too. anything wrong?" jun asks jihoon, looking at him in the eyes. "i honestly don't know anymore, hyung. i'm not even sure if he's comfortable with me anymore." jihoon said, looking back at jun's pretty eyes. "did i do something wrong?" jihoon added, breaking his eye contact with jun by looking down at his lap. he rested his head on his arm and looked at hoshi and wonwoo's direction. both of them were chatting happily. there weren't any serious arguements nor were there any kind of topics that could lead to one person snapping. no, they were chatting about hamsters and hedgehogs. jihoon sighed once more and closed his eyes.

  "you didn't do anything wrong, i'm sure he's just stressed." jun reassured the younger and stood up to hug jihoon's back. just a friendly and reassuring hug. "just try to be comfortable with me. if soons don't want to be with you, you can try hanging out with minghao and i." jun offers, jihoon nodded and relaxed his shoulders. despite hating skinships, he let this one slide. it was warm and was really nice. his brother, yoongi, would always hug him and make sure he'll feel safe in his arms. he felt safe inside jun's arms as well and he loved that. he loves his friends almost as much as he loves his hyung.

   jun saw soonyoung looking at their direction. he shot jun an angry glare. it was as if jun was taking something that shouldn't be taken. jun was about to pull away from the hug but jihoon locked his arms on his shoulder. the older couldn't do anything but tell jihoon to let go so he shooked jihoon's shoulders. unfortunate for him, he saw the raven-haired boy shedding tears with his eyes shut. jun was so confused and was about to yell at the teacher to come there and help him. luckily, the bell had rang and jihoon's best friend was just outside the door.

  "hang on, ji. i'm- i need to carry you." jun whispers to the younger's ear and he nodded. he let go of jun's hand as jun quickly leaned down so that jun could carry jihoon. jun waits for hoshi to stop looking at the both of them and walk away, which happened sooner than expected. jun walked towards the door and opened it. he expected cheol to be there, but there seem to be no seungcheol outside of the classroom.

  "ji? where's cheol hyung?" jun asks jihoon who seem to be tightly hugging  jun's back. "mm." jihoon sounded out in response. jun sighed at jihoon. he assumed he was asleep. he walked to minghao's room and passed by chan. "chan!" jun calls out, forgetting that jihoon was riding him. jihoon groaned and rested his head on jun's head. jun laughed awkwardly, chan laughs quietly too. "have you seen myungho?" jun asks chan. chan nodded. "he would never leave his classroom with anyone else, but you. of course it would be obvious that he'd still be inside his classroom." chan said and pushes his invisible eye glasses. jun laughs and nodded. "i think you've been observing us." jun jokingly said, "of course! i, lee chan, ships you and myungho hyung! you two are cute for each other and i believe that you two will be a great couple." chan smiles innocently, only to recieve a smack from a red faced jun. "you little son of a-" jun stopped himself when he saw jeonghan walking towards him. "-n angel." jun awkwardly continued his sentence. he wouldn't have continued, but chan gave jun a grin that was taunting jun to continue. jun sighed and jeonghan waved at their direction.
