The next day at school Jaemin was sitting next to Jeno in his first period class and he had trouble concentrating. The moments of the day before were still on his mind and he couldn't get over the feeling of Jeno's lips on his. "Ahhhh. Why can't I get it out of my head? Why can't I stop thinking about it? What are you doing to me?". "Hey" a deep voice said startling him. Jaemin turned his attention to the older male next to him since he was that one that talked.

"Yeah?" "Pay attention or you'll get detention" "Hehe right" Jaemin chuckled nervously knowing that won't happen. "I can't focus with him next to me". He raised his hand and thought of a good lie to tell the teacher. "Yes Mr.Na?" "Uh I'm not feeling so good. May I go to the nurse?" he asked. "Yes you may. Jeno please take him" Mr.Dong responded.

The two got up and walked to the nurse office. "I lied so that I can be away from him yet here I am. Walking next to him". "You seem to do that a lot lately" Jeno's sweet soft voice broke his thoughts and the silence between them. "Do what?" Jaemin tilted his head. "Zone off" "Oh that. I just have a lot on my mind" "Are you still thinking about those kisses? Don't think too much about it. I just needed help with my homework" and just like that Jaemin's heart shattered to pieces once again. "Jerk"

"I wasn't thinking about that. I was thinking about something that happened with Sanha a week ago" "Is he talking about them cuddling?" Jeno thought. "What happened?" Without thinking Jaemin started rambling about Sanha wrapping his arms around his waist and him liking the moment and how they slept on the same bed. "Looks like you two had lots of fun". Jaemin smiled and nodded, "We did."

They arrived at the nurse office and Jaemin immediately laid down on the bed. His mind wondered off again for the fifth time that day. "Why do I like him so much? Did I actually think I would be able to win his heart? He basically used me. Why are you so stupid Jaemin?". The said boy let out a sigh and closed his eyes.

"Jisung told me about your parents" he told the raven haired boy. "He said they're homophobic and that you're gay". "I'm not gay! Don't listen to what he says". "Okay. I'll go back to class in a few minutes. You can leave". "I'll stay with you Nana" Jeno said.

After school was over Jaemin was walking home with Haechan. "Hyuck?" "Hmm?" "How did it feel like when Mark asked you out?" "Why do you think Mark asked me out?" Haechan asked offended. "Cuz he's top. So seriously he asked you out?" "Totally. I don't have the guts". The two laughed but it was cut short when Jaemin put on a straight face. "How did it feel?" "I was happy. It was the best day of my life. I couldn't stop smiling. And then we kissed. It was magical. It felt like a dream bc it was too good to be real". "That sounds nice" Jaemin tried to be happy for his friend but instead frowned.

"Is this about Jeno?". "Hyuckie you know me too well" Jaemin said as he clinged onto the other male. "I want him to like me" "Then stop trying so hard. Want to hear a secret?" Jaemin instantly nodded. "He likes you too" Haechan whispered. The caramel haired boy hit the other about a thousand times, "Don't joke with me like that" "But I'm not joking" Haechan muttered and fortunately for him Jaemin didn't hear.
