The Work of Love (Hajeongwoo)

15

Everyone is watching Jeongwoo solving the long ass problem equation in the board- their mouths are all left open seeing that it's like Jeongwoo is just writing his name, it's that simple for the genius kid. As much as how they are so into Jeongwoo's voice when he sings, it's the same way they feel when it's about his intelligence. It's unargumentable- the kid has a lot of talents.

"Wow numbers are sore to my eyes." someone in the class murmured.

Mr. Kwon smirked watching Jeongwoo nailing the mathemical problem. How did he just remember the long ass formula when he just taught them about it awhile ago?

Haruto can't help himself to be drown in amusement, he is smiling watching how confident Jeongwoo in front of the class. He looks so brilliant and smart in his eyes, making him fall for his best friend even more.

Everyone clapped their hands when Jeongwoo finished writing the solving.

"Does anyone did not try answering it?" Mr. Kwon asked when he stared at Haruto. The kid suddenly felt nervous and shooked his head.

"I saw you trying to solve too. Can we see it?"

all eyes on Haruto. Gue took a peak on haruto's paper and smiled "Sir, our friend needs tutoring from Jeongwoo. He only got to write x=y" the class laughed but not in an insulting way, it's just that they found it cute.

Haruto chuckled and scratched his head.

"Hope you can share it too but anyways, give Jeongwoo a round of applause. As usual, our genius king." Mr. Kwon patted Jeongwoo's back and the kid bowed his head a sign of gratitude.

"Woah, our Mr. Genius!" everyone is cheering for Jeongwoo but Haruto stood up and clapped his hands wildly.

"Woah! That's my friend!"

Jeongwoo and Haruto locked gazes. Haruto forgot that Jeongwoo is upset with him and when he realized it, he took a seat and just pretend he did not overreact.

Haruto

"Go on now, Haruto. Give it to him now." I am with Yedam hyung in the cafiteria since the other guys aren't here yet and Jeongwoo is with a classmate discussing something I don't even have a knowledge about.

I held the lunch box tightly, I'm afraid Jeongwoo will suddenly shout at me here. I pressed my lips as I gulped.

But out of nowhere, Yuki appeared in our table.

"Hey, Haruto." she said showing me a smile. I noticed everyone is now watching us and I started feeling awkward.

"U-uh yes?" I asked.

"I made you a lunch box. This is my first time doing one so you better eat it." she said with an autorative tone having her right hand on her waist and her left hand stretching the lunch box in my face.

I heard other students exclaiming and I saw Jeongwoo glanced at us and just rolled his eyes. Yedam just smiled at me looking like he is telling me to accept it.

I gulped as I accepted the offer. It will be rude of me to decline it especially there's a lot of people here.

"You can also keep my handkerchief!" she said as she was about to leave.

"Or you can keep my heart since it's yours now." her back is facing me and I know she did it intentionally to let everyone hear her saying those things.

"Yuki being all confident!" the other girls shouted making the cafiteria filled with words teasing me with Yuki.

"What do you think about her?" Yedam hyung asked.

"Not my type." I said without hesitations as I glanced at Jeongwoo still being serious with the meeting.

"Honestly hyung... I like Jeongwoo." I confessed.

Yedam

"Honestly hyung... I like Jeongwoo." I almost drop my jaw hearing Haruto confessing to me this kind of things.

"R-really?" I stuttered asking him. This is the first time I saw Haruto being serious- I mean he's playful.

"Yes. For five years already." he added. He suddenly looked sad saying that to me.

"Ever since, you like him?" I asked. He nodded his head.

"I really like him hyung... I think I'm going crazy." he said started sulking like a baby. I chuckled seeing the Haruto who used to be shy being a cutie in front of us.

I patted his head. "What do you want to do now?" I asked.

"I want to tell him badly. I can't.... wait anymore." he said feeling determined.

I sighed knowing if he will do that, Jeongwoo will kick him.

"Haruto... take it slow." I said.

"But... when will I tell him?" he asked glancing at Jeongwoo who's still busy with the school paper.

"Work for your friendship first. Haruto, you got all the time in this world, Jeongwoo won't go anywhere." I said. He sighed.

"I'm afraid he won't accept both my love and friendship."

"Don't say that, Haru. Jeongwoo is not that bad, take it from me." I told him as I held his hand to calm him.

"Be positive. He will surely have his heart melt when he found out you like him."

"R-really hyung? You think so?" his eyes are now sparkling and I laughed.

"Of course!"

He showed me a puppy smile when Jeongwoo passed by.

"Jeongwoo!" I called him. He turned his back and gave me a serious expression.

"Jeongwoo. I made you a lunch box." Haruto said smiling.

"Sorry I don't eat recycles." he said. Haruto furrowed his brows and said "this ain't recyle." his tone lie down feeling sad.

"Oh, really? Then hand me that." Jeongwoo said. The kid happily hand him the lunch box when Jeongwoo threw it in the trash can.

"Then it's a garbage." He said. Haruto looked pissed with what Jeongwoo did. He stood up and shouted

"Stop being a brat now, Jeongwoo!"

Haruto dragged Jeongwoo out of the cafiteria attracting some attention from other students.

"Get your ugly hands off me!"

"Shut your ugly mouth!"

And I saw the old Jeongwoo and Haruto bickering.
