"No, we're virgins, I swear!" 

Chenle looked at Nomin skeptically. Jisung watched proudly from the sidelines, sipping his bottled water occasionally. Both of these guys were taller and most likely stronger than Chenle and he still had them shaking in their boots. 

"Too much skinship going on between you two for me to believe that, Na Jaemin. I don't want you spoiling Renjun, who is ever so innocent and does not have any need to be spoilt."

"We- we'll only spoil him with love!" cried Jeno, resorting to cheesy lines in a poor attempt to shield himself from the shorter blond's wrath. Chenle rolled his tongue against his cheek, unsure of how to respond to Jeno's unusual way of assurance. 

"No! I fucking swear, nothing 'till we're legal! We've never done anything- promise, I promise! We won't spoil him, we wouldn't dare- right Jeno?" Jeno nodded automatically in response, "Yeah!"

"AHA! You curse- he cursed, you hear that Sung? They will spoil Renjun for sure, the poor Moomin-obsessed thing would be shocked at this language!" Chenle looked at Jisung, gesturing at Jaemin while shaking his head. Jisung's eyebrows scrunched up and he replied "But, Renjun hyung curses too? A lot actually, especially when yo-"

"Aaawwww, he likes Moomin?" cooed Jeno, forgetting completely about the whole cursing thing and just dwelling on the sheer adorableness of his crush, how much cuter can he get? "Maybe I can get him a Moomin pencil case I saw at the mall last week..." 

Jaemin shook his head at his boyfriend endearingly, who was currently staring at the wall but then immediately looked at Chenle, his eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Sung here said that Renjun curses, but you said he would be shocked at my language... have you lied about anything else?" Jaemin tapped his chin comically for a second, but then his eyes widened in realisation- "IS HE NOT A VIRGIN LIKE YOU SAID?!" he exclaimed, but was quickly silenced by Chenle slapping a small hand over his mouth. 

"No, he's a virgin, and maybe I bent a few things to my own advantage, but it's for Renjun! I don't know if he can trust you guys yet. Also, you can't call him Sung," added Chenle, taking his hand away from Jaemin's mouth to gesture at Jisung. "That's Sir Pwark to you, thank you very much."

"Don't listen to him," said Jisung, shaking his head. "Anyway, what's he thinking about?" he asked, nodding at the still-dreaming Jeno, who immediately snapped to attention upon hearing his name.

"What- what was Renjun thinking about?" he asked no one in particular. "What are you talking about?" enquired Chenle, cocking his head to the side and looking at him questioningly. Jaemin turned to him too. 

"Where was- where has he gone? Like, a doctor appointment or something? Do you know, Chenle?" Chenle scrunched his nose up in confusion (while Jisung died in the background). "Why do you ask that?" 

"Well," explained Jeno, "When the principle asked him to come to the office right when we were gonna confess, he looked kinda disappointed at first but then he looked really scared for a second. So, is Renjun's parent gonna take him somewhere he doesn't wanna go?" He finished off with a little frown, thinking back on how afraid Renjun had looked. Jeno hadn't let his own concern show on his face though, as Renjun showing how scared he really was seemed like an accident.

"I saw that too, actually! He looked pretty shaken, like he was dreading something or the likes of that. Do you know where he went Chenle? Or you, uh, Sir Pwark?" The two being addressed simply shook their heads no, Renjun having told no one about wherever he was off to in the middle of the school day. Then Jaemin seemed to have a bit of an epiphany. 

"Hey guys, if he was so scared about something, wouldn't he have told you? At least Chenle would know, right? Anyways, he only looked scared for like, a single second, and he covered it up with an apologetic glance immediately. What if it's something he doesn't want you, or us, to know? Does Renjun keep secrets like that?" He addressed Chenle

Chenle frowned and shook his head again, before saying "Renjun isn't that good at lying, believe me, I know. So because of that, he doesn't really keep secrets much. Also, one thing about him is that he always feels better about something whenever he talks about it with someone. He would at least mention something if he was dreading it, and you said he looked as if he was. Actually... he was acting kind of weird earlier... he hugged me first."

Jisung looked at Chenle in surprise. "Really? In the time I've known him for, he's barely hugged me or you first for some reason."

"Yeah, he comes sprinting down the corridor all of a sudden, while I was sticking up my new picture of Yoonso, and just spins me 'round and hugs me like he's saying goodbye forever. That's pretty weird behaviour coming from him. Then... oh! When I told him he should get going, he looked sad for a second. Huh, Renjun was acting really weird today."

"Hmm... what if he's in trouble with his mom?" considered Chenle. "She's pretty mean, I don't like her at all. She's homophobic too- wait. What if- what if she found out somehow? That he's gay? I mean, she really hates LGBT people, she divorced his dad because of it. He saw it happen basically, so that's one thing he would be really scared of. In fact, I don't think theres anything else he fears more."

"Shit, I'm really worried now," Jeno ran a hand through his hair, then turned to Jaemin. "If his mom's homophobic, then how will we ever date Renjun? I mean-" he looked hurriedly at Chenle, who had raised an eyebrow at his suggestion, "-only if he wants to! I- we wouldn't force him to do anything ever!"

Jisung rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly. "Yah, how can you go from discussing the possibility of Renjun being outed against his will to his homophobic back to trying to earn Chenle's blessing? Anyways, you have literally nothing to worry about, he's already whi-" Chenle hissed at Jisung to tell him to stop talking. Jisung rolled his eyes and suggested something on his mind. "Anyway, Chenle, could you call Renjun as soon as you get home, just ask him if he's all good? And do you guys want our numbers, if you wanna ask about him anytime? We cat exactly give you his without his consent."

The couple nodded in sync, and the four of them exchanged numbers, silently typing new contacts into their phones. After they were done, Chenle sighed. 

"I just really hope that the situations not what I think it is. I hope that he answers my call when I get home." Jaemin nodded in agreement with his words. "Do you mind telling us if he answers?" 

Chenle shrugged, "Sure." 

Then the bell rang, and the group bid their farewells and headed off to get their books for their upcoming classes, or alternately to head off to class if they already had theirs. 

Renjun was sitting two rooms away from Jaemin's class the period after lunch, and what a situation he was in.
