"Did Keuran pay you to seduce him!" Jaebum was about to fight Youngjae and he wasn't backing down either. Jinyoung was frantically trying to keep them cool but it wasn't working. He's now realizing the problem and now it's blowing out of control. "Yeah she fucking did!" He spat before Youngjae could answer.

Everyone froze when Youngjae pushed Jaebum hard enough to send him stumbling back into the dresser. "My parents are sleeping!" Jinyoung whispered loudly hoping they would just stop the nonsense. That did nothing since Jaebum got up to take a swing at Youngjae which he dodged. "Jaebum!"

"He hit me first!"

"What the hell is going on here!?" The three boys froze when Jinyoung's mom walked in with tired eyes and a broom. "Who are all these people in my house!"

When no one answered any of her questions, Jaebum stepped forward to clear the air. She positioned the broom to hit him which slowed his actions. "Mrs. Park, we actually are here for a study group session. Youngjae here, got the wrong answer and we got a bit carried away when teasing him."

His mom didn't look to be pleased with that answer. "Why didn't you tell me, my son?"

"Mom. This project is important and I knew strongly you would say no. I'm sorry I went behind your back but this is the last day."

His mom rubbed her eyes one good time and held her arms out. "A hug from each for forgiveness." They did as told and gave her warm hugs so she can quickly leave. "For a moment I thought my baby boy brought in a girl. That would be weird especially since you have a boyfriend."

"Huh!? What!?" Jinyoung almost croaked over. "Who told you-"

"Well your principal called me in to watch a video of some boy confessing his love. I was going to bring it up to you but I wanted to wait until you were ready. You're taking too long." She shook a finger at him before exiting the room. "Now you all keep it down. It's late."

The moment she left Youngjae darted our the window leaving his shoes behind. Jaebum turned to try and get a hit in but there was no one standing there but Jinyoung. "You're my best friend?" The younger boy said in curiosity. When Jaebum shrugged it hurt him but he didn't show it. "You are my best friend."

"Okay, yes! What does that have to do with you being my boyfriend and laying up with another guy? After I literally came out to the world and ended up getting grounded!" He fell on his knees in front of Jinyoung as if he was in pain. "I wanted to make you happy, Jinyoung. I wanted to be in love like you wanted and I wanted to make it work." He grabbed Jinyoung's hand and he quickly pulled away. "Jinyoung..."

"I love you, Jaebum. And I've tried desperately to forgive for all you've said and done to me, but I just can't forget it. I can't get it out that we're not the same. I need a moment to think things over. Please give me that."

"English? What a garbage class." Jaebum threw his homework on the empty bench next to him.

︳Junior
On my way!!

The older boy smiled down at his phone while continuing to empty his bag. He then heard soft crunching of leaves behind him and he knew it was Jinyoung. He started to tell him the gig was up but instead he just let the boy jump on his back. Jaebum let out a fake action of fear which caused the biggest laugher to escape Jinyoung's lips.

"I finally got you!" He poked at his cheeks. "Oh, Jaebummie! I forgot to tell you the funniest thing that happened last night." Jaebum went into a cold sweat just thinking about that night all over again. "When Youngjae jumped out my window he sprained his ankle so as a sorry for putting him through it, I carry his bag from now on."

Jaebum's eyebrow rose as he forced a smile. "Doesn't he have better friends for that?"

"I am his better friend." The conversation grew tense and quiet. Jaebum stares at the ground for a few minutes before jumping when he felt Jinyoung's head rest on his shoulder. "Do you wanna know what he'll say?"

"Huh?" Jaebum looked perplexed. "Who?"

"Your boyfriend when you hug him!" The younger jumped up from his seat and got in Jaebum's face. "He'll say oppa!" Jinyoung then tackled the boy until they were laughing and wrestling on the ground. "Oh you like oppa!" Jinyoung teased. "OPPA!"
