Jisung pulls his hood up over his head as he enters the school. It's not that he was avoiding his friends again, but he didn't want the bombardment of questions as to why he had been absent.

He quietly makes his way down the busy hallways, heading straight for his class and sitting down at his desk. After his conversation with Jeongin he had felt pretty confident in confessing to Minho, but the more he thought about it the more he didn't want to do it.

It's not that he thought Minho would reject him, it was more the fact he couldn't seem to shift the idea that he was going to ask out a guy he had spent the last two and a half years hating. Even though they were past that, it was still playing on Jisung's mind.

"You're back!" A voice says and Jisung jumps, pulling his hood over his face a bit more. "What's wrong? Are you still sick?"

Just hearing Minho's voice was enough to make Jisung nervous all over again. "N-no I've just got something in my eye" he lies, moving his hand to rub his eye, turning his head away from Minho.

"Here let me look for you" he offers, moving to kneel in front of Jisung's desk. He gently takes ahold of Jisung's wrists causing the younger to freeze, no longer having any sort of control over his body. Minho moves Jisung's hands away from his eyes, looking at them intensely to see if there was anything in them.

Before he could lean closer for a better look, Jisung yanks his hands away, standing from his desk "what are you doing?!" He yells, looking down at where Minho still sat.

"I was checking to see what was in your eye" the elder shrugs, jumping back up to his feet as if nothing had happened.

Jisung watches as he moves from around the desk and takes a seat at his own. "W-well I didn't ask you to" he mutters, noticing the rest of the class beginning to enter the classroom.

The younger sits down, watching as the teacher enters the room "Han Jisung" he says, pointing at the boy "hood down, you know the rules"

Jisung sighs but pulls his hood down, instantly noticing Minho looking at him from the corner of his eye. He tries to ignore it as best he could but he ends up turning, glaring at the elder "Can you stop?" He whispers.

"Stop what?" Minho asks, instantly looking down at his textbook.

"Looking at me, you're annoying me"
At this Minho looks up, studying Jisung for a moment.

"What is wrong with you lately?" He asks "have I upset you?"

Jisung feels his heart drop a little. He knew he was being mean and bitter but he didn't know how else to act. If he wasn't mean then he would be a stuttering nervous mess which is not what he wanted.
"Sorry" he mutters, looking away and trying to focus as the lesson starts.

Once class was over Jisung was slow packing away as usual, avoiding the crowds. He was hoping Minho would leave but unfortunately the elder didn't seem to be rushing.

Jisung tries not to look at Minho as he places his books back into his bag, pulling his hood back over his head once again.

The sound of loud footsteps could be heard and it catches the attention of both Jisung and Minho. An out of breath Jeongin runs into the classroom, a smile on his face as he sets off a party popper "congratulations!"

Jisung pinches the bridge of his nose slightly, shaking his head in disappointment.

"Congratulations for what?" Minho asks, glancing over at Jisung who only shrugs.

"Seriously? You haven't told him yet" Jeongin whines "this was my only party popper, Seungmin stole all the others" he pouts a little as he kneels down to pick up the multi-coloured paper.

"Told me what?" Minho crosses his arms, turning to Jisung.

The younger boys eyes widen slightly and he forces a smile "I haven't told you that I...I got an A in Math" he lies only to receive a disappointed head shake from Jeongin. "I thought you'd be proud".

Minho didn't look completely convinced but he nods "um well done I guess" with that he turns and leaves the room, giving Jeongin a smile on his way out.

"Jisung you're a coward!" The younger boy yells causing Jisung to roll his eyes.

"I need time, I'll do it eventually I promise" he explains, not liking how disappointed Jeongin looked. It was like upsetting an innocent puppy.

"Fine" he huffs, throwing the empty parry popper and it's contents into the trash "but remember hyung, you're only hurting yourself" he points, exiting the classroom and leaving a stressed Jiusng on his own.

He takes a deep breath, looking up at the ceiling "Okay I can do this" he mutters to himself "but not today".
