|Jeongguk|

It was Wednesday, and surprise! Jeongguk was late again

Of course his friend, Hoseok, is not surprised about it. He knows Jeongguk and he understands his reason why

"Dude, you okay? You don't look good" He asked the younger when he entered the art room looking like a bird's nest

"Overslept again, but I'm good" he gave a smile that looked like a grimace, tiredness is laced on his voice as he spoke

Hoseok grimaced at the younger's state. He let Jeongguk sit beside him and slump on his desk to get some sleep

Mr. Kim is still not inside the art room so he thinks the younger would have a nap

Jeongguk feels like pure shit. He badly wants to lay on his bed and sleep all day with Gureum cuddling with him.

He had a rough night again. Although it was a weekday, Tuesday nights at the club are wild

Damn, insomnia can be sometimes good but also bad

"Goodmorning class. I'm sorry I'm late, I just didn't see the time and I was still eating and- yeah"

Jeongguk jolted up at the velvety sound of the art teacher's voice

He can't help but to be mesmerised by the way he looks. He's wearing a beret and a simple shirt tucked in his slacks with loafers on his feet

He looks like a french artist Jeongguk would bang 100/10

Wait, what? He shrugged his thoughts away

Mr. Kim is a looker and nobody can deny that. If someone finds him not attractive, that would be someone blind

He can't avert his gaze from the male in front of the class, swiftly calling everyone's name for a roll call

He doesn't even know why he does that but he isn't complaining because he gets to hear the sound of his warm voice

"Jeon Jeongguk?" And the way he says his name, the younger could just close his eyes and fall asleep from the elder muttering his name over and over again

"Mr. Jeon?" The raven haired male snapped back from his imaginations when he heard his name for the second time

"Here" he said and when the brunette caught his gaze, he intake a sharp breath

Mr. Kim gave him an amused look, quite surprise that Jeon was there before him.

"All right. Seems like all is here" he puts down his clipboard where he kept all the papers he needed

"Now, Ms. Kim Hyuna taught you the principles of art and things related to it. But today, this semester, we will start to apply them" he started walking around the art room, Jeongguk found himself following the teacher with his eyes, trying hard to keep them open despite the heavy feeling of his lids

"But at this moment, I just need to clarify other things to you and also to explain further said principles"

As Mr. Kim spoke, the raven haired boy felt his heavy lids slowly close

He knows that he shouldn't sleep at this hour, or the following hour. The teacher already talked to him about it happening the first time, he can't make it a second time

He snapped his eyes open wide, wide enough to make Hoseok startled at the sudden action

He tried hard to keep his eyes wide open and not to blink, afraid that he'll close it totally for another hour
