Jeongin in chapter 21 vs this chapter
Keep in mind that only a day has passed since he drank
This is what Jisung meant when he said Jeongin would change after drinking from a human

It had been a few hours since the debacle at breakfast, and Jeongin began to feel different. He didn't know why, because the feeling wasn't nausea. His first reaction was to text hyunjin, but the boy was out looking for his mum and Jeongin didn't want to disturb his search.
"Ah shit" he whispered and stood up, setting down his glass of water. The liquid sloshed over the side but he felt no inclination to clean it up.

Jeongin stalked up the stairs to hyunjin's room, he hadn't left the boy's house yet and he wasn't sure if he wanted to. Once jeongin had reached the top of the stairs he opened the bathroom door with so much strength that he could hear the wood begin to split. Jeongin looked up as one of the hinges came loose.
"What the fuck!" Jeongin harshly whispered in disbelief. Where had this strength come from?! Jeongin hardly had the strength to hit a soft ball a few feet, never mind nearly tear a door right off the frame! Jeongin's hands began to shake. Is this what Jisung meant when he said there would be changes? With a newfound curiosity he began to walk into the bathroom, subconsciously making sure not to touch anything in case he broke it too. Jeongin looked into the mirrored cabinet and clasped his hands over his mouth.

His face was more defined and his cheek bones more sunken. His eyebrows had gotten bolder and he had definitely lost what baby fat he had previously had. His lips no longer seems too wide to fit on his small face because everything was much more proportional. Jeongin admired his reflection, running his hands over his now soft and acne free skin. He looked like he had aged two years in less than 24 hours! Jeongin smiled until he became afraid that he would only grow up more rapidly from now on, and would be hobbling about on a walking stick by the end of the week. He bolted down the stairs in a frenzy, swinging around on the banister at the end of the stairs and grabbing his phone from the breakfast table. With shaky (and larger?) hands he clicked on Hyunjin's familiar phone number. Jeongin crawled into the corner of the room and waited there for an answer.

Jeongin had been waiting for ten minutes and began to feel his eyes fill up with tears, overcome by the idea that hyunjin didn't care enough about him to call back. Jeongin half-heartedly picked up his phone from where he had left it on his side on the floor and rang hyunjin one more time.
One beep
Two beeps
Three beeps
No answer Jeongin kept thinking
Four beeps
Click
"Jeongin? Is something wrong? Did something happen?" Jeongin felt euphoric when Hyunjin's worries voice came through his phone's speakers.
"I uhh- yeah I- I don't know how to describe it" Jeongin took a shaky hand and tucked a strand of hair behind his ear.
"Are you hurt?" Hyunjin asked, and Jeongin could hear his loud footsteps on the other end of the phone line
"No? I don't know what's happening to me! I- I look two years older, my hands are bigger, in really fucking strong now? I don't know what's happening" Jeongin kept repeating the last phrase until Hyunjin's voice calmed him down from the other end,
"I'll be back soon, I'm at the top of the road. Just, wait" hyunjin hang up and Jeongin buried his face in his hands, unsure if he would react differently when he saw the boy than he would have pre drink.
