It's Our Little Secret | JOHNYONG | NCT

4. Jelly

Ms. Kwon arrived at exactly 9:00 for second period and Taeyong still hasn't looked at Johnny after his little stunt with Jaehyun Jung.

He hasn't looked at Jaehyun either, too embarrassed to face him.

"Settle down, millenials." Ms. Kwon greeted(?). "We'll be discussing your book assignment today plus I'll be assigning the pairing for the final term paper."

Taeyong barely registered anything during the lesson. He felt like there were so many people boring holes on the back of his head. Who wouldn't after that scene where Johnny dragged him to their seat, their hands interlocked.

Taeyong just glared at Johnny the whole time, completely blaming him for the entire situation.

"I have here the list of partners for the project, I'll be posting it on our bulletin board for everyone to see." Ms. Kwon instructed as she made her way to the board to pin the list on it. After she dismissed her class, all the students flocked the bulletin board to see who they ended up with.

Taeyong may have been out of it, but he still checked along with the other kids who they'd end up pairing with for the term paper. He didn't really care at this point, his only hope is that he didn't have to be partners with Johnny Seo.

Yes, he was still pissed.

Taeyong searched for his name amidst the number of people swarming around the list. He finally found his at the second to the bottom row, his partner's name just next to his.

Taeyong Lee - Jaehyun Jung

"Uh, what?"

"Guess we'll get to talk more often after all."

The hair at the back of Taeyong's head crept up when Jaehyun Jung whispered in his ear. He whipped his head to face him and found the Godly heavenly sent smile of Jaehyun Jung being bestowed upon him.

Jaehyun was beaming ear to ear as he fished out his shirt pocket to retrieve his phone. "I probably should get your number. You know, so we can schedule meet ups for the project?"

Taeyong was too dazed and he was pretty sure he was drooling like an idiot before he actually tried taking his phone out to give Jaehyun his number. When their contacts were exchanged, Jaehyun gave him another soft smile.

"I guess I'll see you around, Lee?"

"Y-yeah." Taeyong smiled shyly. "I'll see you around... Jung."

"LEE!"

The two had their eyes wide hearing Johnny call for Taeyong. Taeyong almost cursed as he shot Johnny a dirty glare. Jaehyun just sighed, looking a little pissed. "That's probably my cue to leave. See 'ya, Lee."

"No! I-"

"It's okay." Jaehyun stopped him. "I'll call you."

And with that, Taeyong watched Jaehyun walk out the classroom. A sigh couldn't help but escape his lips and as soon as realization had hit him, he turned towards Johnny Seo, stomping furiously.
