the fact that jaemin still went to school the next day surprised both taeyong and jaehyun. they suspected him to at least stay home to heal for about two to three days, but no, that wasn't how it went.

jaemin didn't want anyone to really worry about him about being gone for a couple days without saying anything, so he pulled himself out of bed the next morning and got ready for school. not wanting to expose his bandaged up arms, he stuck with a hoodie that provided him the coverage he needed and some warmth in their overly chilly school.

"are you sure you want to go back now? your cuts haven't really healed yet jaemin." jaehyun looked at the boy worryingly. with what he went through the night before must've been traumatizing enough, and jaehyun would really rather the younger to stay home and rest.

"i'm fine--" that was proved wrong when he slipped on his backpack and let out a sharp hiss, dropping the backpack back onto the floor.

"jaemin--"

"i said i'm fine, jaehyun. i can handle this myself." jaemin then picked up the backpack again and threw it on his shoulder. he still was in pain, but he just held it in.

"please be careful at school today jaemin. your wounds aren't completely healed yet." taeyong warned, walking out of his room with a roll of clean bandages, "and here. when you find the time, change your bandages okay?"

"alright." the younger agreed, taking the bandage roll taeyong held out for him.

after that, he was off to school, and hopefully no one would know what happened the night before except three people. at least not yet.

"jaemin!" the said male was almost knocked to the ground when his best friend tackled him in a hug.

jaemin bit his lip to stop himself from letting out any verbal indication that he was in fact, in a hell of a lot of pain at the moment.

"h-hey, hyuck." he mustered up, slowly wrapping his arms around the elder male.

"are you okay?" donghyuck pulled away, cupping his cheeks and forcefully turned his head from left to right to see if there were any signs of injuries on the male's face.

"i'm okay," jaemin pulled donghyuck's hands off his face then proceeded to muster up the best smile he could through the pain, "see?"

donghyuck didn't trust that smile, or more like the emotion masking the true ones. but he let it go anyways, thinking that he'll be told when the time is right.

"let's head to class shall we? don't want to be late."

"when where you so concerned about being late?"

"since now. so let's go!" jaemin grabbed ahold of donghyuck's hand and started to race down the halls that were starting to clear of student.

"bitch! it's too early to be running--ahhhh!"

it was lunch time right about now, and jaemin needed to go change his bandages, and quick. he excused himself from the table, and rushed towards the nearest restroom. once he found one, he entered it, totally forgetting to check if anyone was in there or not.

jaemin pulled out the roll of bandages from his hoodie pocket then place it on the sink. he rolled up his sleeves to see some spots dotted with a bit blood, must've been from when donghyuck tackled him into a hug.

sighing lightly, he started to unroll the bandages, discarding them in the trash near him. his gaze lingered on his damaged skin, and he wondered when will he be brave enough to show his arms and torso again. it's definitely not now, so when will it be?

right when he was starting to wrap his arms in the new bandage, he heard one of the restroom stall doors opening. in a state of panic, he yanked down his sleeves and started to act like he was washing his hands after he stuffed the unrolled bandages in his pocket again.

"oh hey nana." greeted jeno as he took the sink next to him.

"h-hey, jeno." jaemin greeted back, keeping up his act of washing his hands.

"i was just about to go back to the cafeteria, want to go together after you're done?"

"sure." the younger male mentally cursed himself out for not being more cautious. now he had to make sure to be cautious of where he puts his arms to avoid opening up one of the cuts again.

drying his hands with a paper towel then disposing it in the trash bin, he followed jeno out.

"nana?" jeno called out, seeing as the male was lagging behind a bit.

"y-yeah?"

"i was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me and renjun after school today. we were planning to go out and eat somewhere. i just don't know exactly where yet though."

hesitation struck jaemin for a few seconds before he decided on an answer, "sure, why not."

returning to the table, jaemin sat down in the seat next to mark while jeno sat down next to renjun. but not after landing a short kiss on the elder's cheek.

and of course, jaemin didn't miss that sight.

it was something that caused him to shyly look down at the table and a blush up his cheeks. they were perfect for each other. every act or movement seemed to never flaw in his eyes.

dang, jaemin was in deep, and there's definitely no way for him to get out now.
