jaemin VII

Jaemin clearly heard the words coming out of Jeno's mouth but wanted to make sure that he had heard correctly. He tried his best to distract himself from his nervousness by acting confident and cocky but the blush behind his cheeks was trying its best to come out.

"No"

Jeno turned his head and looked at the ground, Jaemin's eyes stayed glued on the boy and his face was decorated by a wide grin.

Jaemin didn't care about the reason behind the small talk. He had been over it for a while now and the cute mummers and whispers from Jeno had taken his mind even further away from it. Even the key which he was so desperate to find was now replaced by thoughts of the older boy in front of him. He wasn't quite sure which angle the thoughts were shown from. Which themes they were centered around. He wasn't aware and did not realize how his glare didn't shift away from Jeno.

Only when Jeno looked up did he notice. His confident side disappeared for a second and his cheeks flamed brightly as all the color became more vivid. His cheeks were hot and he was able to feel the heat. His eyes widened and he quickly moved his eyes from Jeno, not locking his gaze on anything but just staring around the room, ignoring the center of his visible bubble of sight. Right where he was sitting.

The artificial, white light created a spotlight everywhere in the room and no shadow was covering Jaemin's face. His cheeks kept on glowing as his confidence returned and he was able to move his look back to Jeno.

Jeno's facial expression was a mimic of Jaemin's earlier expressions. It was full on screaming "I saw what just happened".

"If you're not going to tell me, I guess that's just how it is then"

Not feeling like keeping the topic of conversation, Jaemin tried to change the focus on to something else.

"Now that I think of it,"

                      "I don't know any of your hobbies," he asked out of pure curiosity. Genuinely wanting to get to know the boy more.

-"I don't really do anything interesting"

"Oh come on, there must be something" Jaemin was waiting in pure excitement as he watched Jeno hiding his face between his knees. He gave him some time to open up.

"I enjoy dancing" Jeno looked up from in between his knees, his gaze not fixed on anything in particular, but he had a small smile on his face.

"You must really like dancing, huh?"

-"Yeah, it's a nice way to de-stress and release everything"

"Can you show me?"

-"Maybe one day"

"Why not now?"

Jeno pointed to his side.

"Ah, yeah, right"

              "Forgot about that" Jaemin scratched the back of his neck.

Both suddenly focused on a sound coming from the other side of the door next to them. The sound of a lock being unlock was silent but loud enough for the boys to get their heart pumping. The door opened up and one of their teachers entered the room. His expression showed that he was not expecting the room to be occupied by anyone.

Jaemin and Jeno swiftly stood up, Jaemin extending an arm out for Jeno to hold on to.

"What are you kids doing here?"

Before the teacher could speak another word, both boys were fast out and rushing their way through the dining room and into the hallway. As they did so, Renjun was heading their way, noticing them.
