Friends With Benefits

7: "With You"

Jinyoung smiled widely as he was handed his test paper.

Most of his blockmates were either sulking or cussing while looking at their own paper, but not him. His kind of smile is priceless. A kind of smile one has when given something he or she really wants. And getting an A+ on an exam could compare just as same. Jinyoung has spent four straight nights in reviewing for his midterm exam.

He has spent too much time on reviewing that Jackson has to break into their apartment and drag his ass out, to have late dinner or late snacks. That chinese friend of his has a lot of time to spare, and besides, the guy hates reviewing, or studying in general. Jinyoung sometimes wonders how the older gets to pass each of his taken subjects. What kind of sorcery is that when he hasn't seen him read a single book?

For the last four nights, Jackson has done nothing but distract him from reviewing. But Jinyoung has to admit, he is thankful for the guy. If not for Jackson, he would've gotten ulcer, from skipping meals too much.

Aside from Jackson, he also has Mark to thank. For four straight nights, the blonde didn't bother him, even once. Mark is also busy reviewing for his exam since only Jackson doesn't care about his acads. Most of the time, when he comes out of his room, he would see Mark's door closed also, where he could hear some mellow rock music playing. He could only count in his one hand, how many times the two of them have interacted in the last four nights. But ever since Mark saw him drinking an energy drink to keep him up at night, everytime Jinyoung opens the fridge, he would see newly bought bottles of energy drink.

Jinyoung was still smiling happily as he walked outside his classroom. He now has a two hour break before his next class. He was about to head towards the cafeteria when he felt a heavy arm wrap around his shoulder.

"Hey, Jinyoungie!" Jackson greeted him cheerfully. "What you got there?"

Jinyoung felt a bit prouder, when the chinese asked. "An A+ in Physics." He even shoved the paper in the older's face. "In your face, Jackson Wang."

"I also got a plus on my test." Jackson said while pushing his hand away.

"Oh yeah?" He asked arching his eyebrow.

"It's a C+ but it's still a plus."

He just laughed at him. He admires Jackson's positivity. Only his friend has that. "Aren't you hungry? Let's go eat lunch." Jinyoung said, tugging on Jackson as they both head to the cafeteria where their other friends are probably waiting for them.

When they both arrived, the others were already there, sitting on their usual spot. Shortly after, Mark also arrived and instantly bragged about his A+ too, which had Jackson cursing. Jinyoung is actually surprised that Mark is also doing well in his acads. All along he thought all the blonde knows is how to flirt. He might've misjudged the person. Guess that you can't judge a book by its cover thing is correct.

They were all eating lunch, with Jackson squeezing facts from Yugyeom and Bambam. The chinese's questions were too vulgar that Jinyoung wasn't able to stop himself from smacking Jackson's head.

"Ouch! Why'd you do that?" But he might've done it too hard, which had Jackson rubbing his head, while wearing that long pout. Jinyoung didn't apologize though. Besides, what he did was funny. He also sneered, seeing how Mark is smirking from the side of his eyes.

"Are you that lonely that you're here sticking your nose to our sex life, huh Jackson?"

"Hey, call me hyung!" Jackson shouted, throwing a fist at Bambam.
