One Week [Under Reconstruction]

Chapter 10

Jisung waited for a response. Seconds turned to minutes, and Jeongin hadn't sent anything. Jisung bared his teeth in annoyance, who exactly does this child think he is? Now, Jisung can only hope that Jeongin read the message before he spoke to Seungmin.

-

Jeongin was about to send a text to Seungmin before he got another text from Jisung. Sighing, he retyped his text to not include Minho's name. The text read, "Someone is asking about your and Hyunjin's relationship again. Should I just tell them the usual?"

Hyunjin was messing around on Seungmin's phone. Without him noticing, Hyunjin took a picture of the two and set it as the home screen. Before he could put his friends phone back in his pocket, a notification showed he got a text.

It was a text from Jeongin. Since it mentioned him in it, Hyunjin decided to reply to it. "Yeah. If they ask any more questions, just respond with the same answers as always." He sent the text before sliding the phone back into Seungmin's pocket.

Being focused on the lesson, Seungmin didn't ask who was texting him. He figured that if it was really important, Hyunjin would have told him what the text said. Plus, he can always look at it later if he really cared.

Hyunjin started to doze off. He closed his eyes and just rested on Seungmin's shoulder. The teacher, with superhuman eyesight, instantly noticed.

As naturally as possible he began to walk to the back of the classroom. His target was Hyunjin and his goal was to make him embarrassed enough that he won't ever fall asleep in his class again.

Pretending as if he wasn't doing anything special, he stood right behind Seungmin and Hyunjin. He continued the lesson so no one would suspect what he was doing. Using a laser pointer, he motioned at the different pictures and graphs up on the board.

On one of the whiteboards, was a yardstick. He picked it up and slowly walked forward. Pausing to let everyone jot down the notes, he knew it was the perfect time. Swinging down the yard stick, it hit the table right beside Hyunjin's head. A loud smacking sound echoed through the classroom, making a few students jump. And lucky for him Hyunjin was one of them.

Hyunjin jumped up when he heard the loud noise beside his head. It startled him so bad that he almost fell out of his chair. Thankfully Seungmin was holding onto his hand so he didn't fall off.

Turning around, Seungmin glared at the teacher. "Next time, instead of almost hitting him with a ruler, just ask me to wake him up. It'll be a lot easier," he said in a tone that would sound nice if Seungmin said anything else.

Glaring back, the teacher ignored what he said. He turned his attention back to Hyunjin. "Next time you fall asleep in my class, Mr. Hwang, you will receive detention for a week. Understood?"

Hyunjin nodded slowly. Fixing himself in his chair, Hyunjin went back to laying on Seungmin's shoulder. Seungmin fixed his friends hair before going back to taking notes.

The rest of that class period proceeded like normal. The normal lecture from the teacher and constant stares from their peers. Every so often, you could see people pass their friend different amounts of money. It was a common thing that happened at this school. The higher classmen that have seen Seungmin and Hyunjin together would make bets with the younger kids. It was always the same bet, whether or not they were in some way touching. Every once in a while, Hyunjin would see teachers make bets too.

Jisung was on his fifth lap around the football field when he got a text. Upon seeing it was Jeongin, he instantly opened it. He was slightly disappointed when it said what he's heard a million times, "They're just really close friends. That's all."

He slowed down to a fast walking pace. Knowing that Minho would want to know about his best friend, Jisung immediately texted him. "Don't worry about Seungmin and Hyunjin, they're just really close friends. I guess they've always been that close."

-

Minho smiled when he read the text. He was glad that his friend had someone that close to him that he could see often. He was also happy to see how fast Jisung got the answer for him. If it were Minho, he would have waited till the other asked about it to let him know.
