"I can't believe that it's our last day here" I mutter along with a sigh.

It was the night before we all had to finally head home. Sadly we still had to deal with enrolling and preparing for different colleges.

Jaemin, Chenle and I found ourselves seated on the ledge of the balcony in my room, staring at the ocean.

"I don't want to go back yet" Jaemin whines, leaning on my shoulder and lazily placing his arm around my waist.

"OUCH" He suddenly pulls back and I arch a brow at him. 

"Chenle slapped me!"

I turn to my left to see Chenle flashing an innocent smile at me. "Zhong Chenle apologize!" I say. "Hell no! We had a rule! No pda while I'm around!"

"HOW IS LEANING ON HER SHOULDER AND PUTTING AN ARM AROUND HER PDA?!" 

"IT JUST IS!"

"Aww Chenle!!!" I open my arms wide and hug the life out of Chenle. "I'll never let you be a third wheel!" I say as I sway us back and forth. "THANKS Y/N BUT STOP SWAYING US. WE'RE LITERALLY GOING TO FALL IF YOU KEEP DOING THAT"

"Sorry"

Silence fills the air after that. Although it's a comfortable kind of silence. I sigh before wrapping an arm on Jaemin and Chenle's shoulders and pulling the two of them close.

"We survived guys! We officially survived the jungle called highschool"

"But now we have to enter another jungle... alone" Chenle says with a small pout. "Yeah... to be honest, I only survived last year because of you both" Jaemin mutters.

"We'll be fine. I'm sure of it!" I say, trying to smile. My body betrays me though because my voice cracks and my eyes go teary.

"I'll miss you guys"

  ~~~~~    

"Remember not to-"

"Yeah yeah yeah... " I say with an eye roll before dictating the list of things that I'm sure my brother is about to say over the phone.

"Remember not to immediately trust someone in school. Stay away from boys. Always check if someone is following me home. I get Jae" I say with a small smile, despite knowing that he won't see it.

"I taught you well" I hear him say with a chuckle. "Well, I'm already at the gate. I'll call you later Jae-"

Just when I was about to end the call, I bump into someone, the impact making fall on my butt.

"Oh! Sorry!" A low, raspy and familiar voice says. I look up to see this tall guy, crouching down a bit with a hand stretched out to me. My eyes go wide when I realize who it is. 

"Aren't you Wong Yukhei?" His eyes seem to go wide as well. "Oh! You're the girl on the beach-"

"-and might I ask who you are?" Another voice says as I feel someone snake an arm around my waist, pulling me close to his side.

I roll my eyes at Jaemin's actions before glancing at him to see him staring at Yukhei.

"Jaemin it's the first day of school"

"Yeah it's the first day and you're already flirting with this tall, handsome guy who -by the way- is NOT your boyfriend"

I'm just about to say a smart remark when the sound of laughter cuts off my train of thoughts. Jaemin and I turn our heads to the source of laughter and arch a brow at Yukhei.

"Congratulations on finally ending up with him! Anyway, I gotta head to class! I'll see you around girl from the beach!" And just like before, Yukhei runs off before I could say anything, leaving Jaemin and I all confused.

"So care to tell who he is and how you know him?" Jaemin asks, wrapping his other arm around my waist and pulling me close, our faces barely an inch apart.

I lean my forehead against Jaemin's, chuckling at his words. "Don't worry about him"

Jaemin pulls away a bit, pouting at me. "Sorry... you know how jealous I get"

"Yeah I do" I mutter. Silence fills the air for a few seconds as Jaemin and I stare into each other's eyes.

"You know, our first day feels kind of incomplete without 'Le" I suddenly say, a pout forming on my lips.

"We'll visit him in his college after classes" Jaemin says, tucking stray strands of my hair behind my ear before his hand cups my cheek.

At that moment, my eyes couldn't help but trail towards Jaemin's lips so I leaned in and placed a small peck on them before flashing Jaemin a bright smile.

"Let's head to class" I get myself out Jaemin's grip and grab him by the hand, dragging him to our first class which we shared.

I look back to see Jaemin still in trance. He blinks a few times before flashing me a bright smile.

 "I still can't believe that you're mine" He says, shaking his head a bit.

I stop walking and cup his cheeks, placing a soft kiss on his lips.

"Believe me now?" 

Jaemin pretends to think about it for a moment. "Hmm not ye-"

"HEY KIDS! NO PDA ON CAMPUS! AND THE BELL ALREADY RUNG!" Jaemin and I turn our attention to this guard who was heading towards us with a scowl on his face. "WHAT ARE YOUR NAMES?!"

I stare at Jaemin with wide eyes as he mirrors my actions. "What about we run for it?" He asks with a mischievous smirk.

"Well what are we waiting for?!"
