mark shyly tapped jaemin's shoulder in spite of nervousness. jaemin whipped around and turned his attention to the older, "hyung? did you need something?"

mark frailty and feverishly nodded, "uhm. jeno said that you would be the best person to ask for help with an essay that's due soon."

jaemin's face light up and you could tell that he was elated. he brought his hands together and let out a squeal, "i'm sorry mark but i'm afraid that i can't help you this week since i have soccer practice for our tournament this week."

mark let out a dejected chuckle, "it's fine. i can find someone else to help me with the essay."

jaemin wrapped one of his arms around mark's shoulders. mark shuddered at the sudden display of affection, "but i do know someone that is available this week and is even better at writing than i am."

mark nodded promptly, "who is it?"

jaemin leaned in to whisper into mark's ear.

mark's eyes widened, "no way. you can't make me work with him!"

jaemin smiled widely and giggled, "i'm afraid i can."

mark shook his head while laughing, "you, renjun, and jeno did this on purpose."

jaemin jokingly slapped mark's back, "it was either we suggest him or jisung. and i'm sure you don't want a freshman telling you how to write your essays."

mark stopped in front of jaemin and started to plead, "please come with me. i don't want to ask him myself."

mark's sudden mood change brought amusement to jaemin. jaemin crossed his arms over his chest, "okay okay okay. just don't let me do all the talking because then he's going to freak out."

-
jaemin lightly knocked on the wooden door, "he's often in here by himself so just knock and he'll let you know if you're allowed in."

"so he's in mr.-"

"come in." a muffled familiar voice said.

mark breathed in deeply before he followed behind jaemin into the room. he was prepared to see the person he was so afraid of talking to and mess up everything for.

"ten!" jaemin exclaimed and went to go for a long hug.

ten was sitting on his boyfriend youngho's lap peacefully until he was being picked up by jaemin and squished to near death. "i missed you ten-hyung." jaemin said delightfully

ten pushed jaemin off of him and stood there with his arms over his chest and huffed, "excuse me! it is still school hours so i am mr.leechaiyapornkul."

youngho giggled from his seat, "actually it's mr.seo."

ten bashfully smiled at his husband and turned his attention to jaemin, "anyway it's mr.seo don't break the rules."

mark scoffed and rolled his eyes, "you guys are all over each other even when mr.moon lectured you guys about public affection."

youngho smirked, "you're just upset that donghyuck isn't your man yet."

mark's face burned with a bright firey red, "n-no that isn't it."

ten snickered, "yeah uh huh. anyway, mark i can't help you with your essay but i can assign my student ta to help you."

mark quirked his eyebrow at ten's words, "oh?"

jaemin covered his mouth and kept switching his gaze towards youngho, ten, and mark. "you do know who ten's student ta is right?"

"mr.seo." ten corrected quickly

jaemin murmured a shut up, which earned him a sharp stare from both older males.

mark sighed, "it's donghyuck isn't it?"

"yes! you two can meet each other in the library after school. i'll be sure to tell him when he comes in for my class. now shoo children you're disturbing my lunchtime with mr.seo."

jaemin intertwined mark's hand with his own and tightly shut his eyes, "let's go before they start eye fucking in front of us."
