Tension | Hyunsung ✓

"Sir, I don't feel well today. Can I stay back in the class?", Jisung didn't know back then "you do look kind of pale. Sure, go ahead. If you don't feel well again just go to the infirmary" that skipping P.E class would change something between him and Hyunjin from then and forward.

Today too was a peaceful day, he made eye contact with Sae Hee quite a few times whenever he walked around the corridor but she never seemed to be bothered to notice him. She seemed a lot happier with her friends.

Jisung too, felt a lot happier and glad Sae Hee decided to ignore him. He knew how burdensome he could get. He became to dependant on her because only she showed kindness to him.

How he came to know her was from the basketball club. She was in the female basketball club and she was the one who recommended the club to her. At first, he joined because of his father but it had merely started as an idea which she pushed him to do. She gave him encouragement.

I'm quite pathetic, Jisung thought. "Hey, Jisung!", He turned around, his body shrinking when he saw one of his senior marching towards him. He didn't like this senior because he always bothered Jisung, to put it in a word, he was a bad person.

If he could, he wanted to disappear at this moment but he couldn't, could he? If he could, he would already be gone instead of carrying some books to the staff room when he was supposedly 'sick'. Jisung narrowed his eyes in anger, "that senior is really no good", it was such a bad luck to bump into him.

The weight on his hand suddenly lessen, "aren't you supposed to be sick? Why are you carrying all of these?", Hyunjin appeared, a silly smile on his face. Jisung found a bandaid on his forehead but he did not ask anything about it, instead he just kept quiet and continued walking to the staff room.

After they finished sending the books to the staff room, Jisung asked Hyunjin. "Aren't you supposed to be at the field?", Hyunjin's class had the same P.E period as Jisung's class.

"I'm sick too! See!", He pointed at the bandaid on his forehead. Jisung narrowed his eyes at the bandaid, he didn't really believe Hyunjin.

Truth to be told, Hyunjin was healthy as a human can be but when Jisung walked away with a somewhat pale moody face, his classmate threw a ball at him right on his face. He took the advantage to make an excuse. "Whatever", Jisung said when the same senior bumped into him again.

Seriously, what was this senior doing lingering around the corridor? Moreover in the junior building!?

"I see, Jisung you sent the books? Thanks a lot! I had to do something just now", Jisung didn't like the smile on his face. The gaze was a ridiculing one. He patted Jisung's shoulder and gave it a squeez, "I can ask for your help next time too, right?" Jisung shivered, this senior was up to no good. He was thinking Jisung was easy to be mess around with.

-pa!

Jisung gasped, Hyunjin had slapped the senior hand away without hesitation. "What- you!", The senior opened and closed his mouth as Hyunjin rubbed his neck, his eyes lazy which seemed like he didn't care about the senior's reaction nor his manner. The angry senior was immediately silenced when Hyunjin finally landed his gaze on the older, "you have hands and legs, no? I'm sure senior can do it by himself since he's a capable and great senior"

Jisung swallowed his saliva, he wanted to say something but the senior was glaring at him too. He wasn't scared, he just didn't want to mess with the seniors because it will make his stay in the basketball club difficult. "Jisung? Is this your friend?! He is so rude!"

That, even Jisung knew he was rude but for some reason, he was quite angry that someone like his senior dared to criticize Hyunjin. "Hey, you. What's your name? Shouldn't you know your place?!"

Hyunjin smiled, "you're one to talk, senior. What are you doing in the juniors building? I'm sure you're supposed to be in the school hall for a lecture."

"Do the teachers know you're here? I'm pretty sure they know because you're supposed to send the books to the staffroom. What would you do if they notice you're taking a lot of time here?", Hyunjin's face darkened as a ridiculing smile appeared on his face. He had heard a lot of this senior of Jisung's. He sure heard a lot from the gossiping member of the basketball club. They were always noisy and chatty.

"If you don't have anything to say. Please, excuse us", Hyunjin grabbed Jisung's hand before anyone could react. He wasn't quite confident if he could avoid being punched by that senior had he stayed longer. It was better not to mess with him too much. Jisung was also with him after all.

Hyunjin dragged Jisung to his class because it was the nearest. "Sit", Hyunjin told Jisung who sat obediently on the seat next to Hyunjin's. "Now, stop thinking too much about that senior or the basketball team".

The way he said it sounded so reassuring, Jisung had no problem with agreeing with him. He laid his head on the desk and sighed before burying his face in his arm. "I'm going to sleep. Wake me up when your classmates come", Jisung said, taking a peek from his arm. Hyunjin hummed. "Go sleep"

Nights had been sleepless to Jisung. He had severe insomnia but now that Hyunjin asked him to sleep, he felt like he could sleep easily with Hyunjin by his side. The idea of coming to Hyunjin's house once in a while appears in his mind but not long he fell asleep and Hyunjin who was supposed to be guarding him,observed his face.

The boy who was always noisy became so quiet like this. It wasn't anything bad. A piece of hair fell on Jisung's face and Hyunjin slowly removed it away, tucking it behind his ear. One fact he couldn't deny was that Jisung was pretty. It was sad how he himself didn't notice it. Hyunjin sighed, "why do you only hear those critics from those people?", He knew how Jisung had been beating himself for the bad things his teammates been telling him.

He would talk about it with Jisung's parents later. Even if Jisung would ended up getting angry, it was better than staying quiet when he knew exactly what had been keeping Jisung up late at night, the reason why Jisung always call him at 3 am despite having other friends than him.

The longer he stared at Jisung, the smitten he got.

Will it be an unforgivable sin if he just lean closer and pressed his lips against Jisung's?

He found it too late to be thinking of the sequences when he already felt Jisung's lips- soft and sweet. He reminded himself, Jisung always carried around bubblegum with him.

Pulling himself away, his face bloomed into redness. He checked Jisung's expression to see if there was any sign of waking but the boy was deep asleep. He breathed a sigh, that was so dating of him. Too daring that he would be scared to go anywhere near Jisung because he might just do it again.

Not far from the class, he heard sounds of footsteps and laughter, P.E class had ended. He shook Jisung's shoulder, stirring the shorter up from his sleep. "Erm... they're here", Jisung rubbed his eyes and smiled. "Okey, see you after school then", he said , standing up before going out from the classroom. Hyunjin would engrave the scene of Jisung waking up and smiling at him in his heart, oh, how he adored Jisung.

However, he failed to notice Jisung's disoriented eyes and slightly flushed cheeks. Jisung was not asleep after all. In fact, he was quite the light sleeper.
