Chapter 8

Chapter 8:

It's Monday and since Junhoe and him have the same long breaks in between their classes he asked Junhoe's help to check and edit his work. They were in the library sitting close as they couldn't talk too loud inside.

Junhoe was carefully reading his work. He was so focused while holding his pen and biting the tip of it. He's supporting his head with his left hand while scratching his head.

Jinhwan unconsciously stared at him. He was looking at Junhoe intently. He fondly observed him while he wrote something from time to time and nodding his head sometimes. He leaned his head on the table with his hands folding and supporting his head like a pillow. His gaze didn't leave Junhoe's face. He smiled. Junhoe looked cute while eyebrows met halfway, lips biting his pen, and head move upside down when he read something nice.

"This is unexpectedly nice." Junhoe said without looking at Jinhwan.

"Hmm..." He replied feeling his voice vibrated on his arm.

"You just need to create some conflict. The relationship is just too perfect here. You need to stir them a little."

"Hmm..." Jinhwan's eyes still plotted on Junhoe's face.

Junhoe caught him staring at him. Confused with the fond eyes staring at him, he rested his head on the table as well, dropping both his hands under the table. He faced Jinhwan and pouted.

"Are you listening to me?"

Jinhwan smiled and nodded. After a few seconds, his eyes went down on Junhoe's pinkish lips. His eyes widened on his odd stare and suddenly sit straight. Junhoe also sit back and crossed his arms.

"Are you sick?" He asked.

"No. I'm fine." He was flustered. "C'mon, let's eat. I'm hungry." He said and grabbed his things.

"Suddenly??" Junhoe asked but chuckled.

"Yes. I'm hungry." Jinhwan said in excuse before Junhoe see his red ears.

They went to the cafeteria and ordered their own tray of food. Since it was already lunch break, there was not much seats available. They ended up sharing with others. They were at the corner of a long table sitting side by side – Jinhwan on the aisle.

They were casually eating and talking about random things. They're in the middle of talking when someone bumped on their table causing the cup of water to spill on Jinhwan's clothes. He automatically stood up to avoid more water to spill on him.

"Ya!" Junhoe yelled at the student who's obviously a junior to them.

"I'm sorry, hyung. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I tripped. I'm really sorry." The junior kept on bowing while saying sorry to them.

"You should be careful! Look what happened. You might hurt someone next time." Jinhwan could trace the irritation on Junhoe's voice so he grabbed his arm and stopped him from possible fight.

"I'm so sorry." The student looked scared now.

"No. It's okay. You can go now." Jinhwan tapped him on the shoulder, nodded, and let him go.

Junhoe was still pissed of what happen. While Jinhwan was trying to dry his shirt with his hand, Junhoe grabbed him and assisted him in the men's room.

"I want to punch his face." Junhoe said out of frustration.

"Ya. I'm fine. He didn't mean it, stop being pissed."

Junhoe pouted while getting his handkerchief from his pocket. He helped Jinhwan dried his shirt. It got wet from his stomach down to his pants on the pocket area.
