The Bet (SF9 DaBin) ~ Book 1

18 ✔️

"Yah Inseong stop right there" Jaeyoon called out after he left Sanghyuk, noticing the way the older tensed as he heard Jaeyoon being the one who followed him.
"What is it?" the older asked, trying to not show how nervous and worked up he currently was.
"He's always been like that, you know that but he's a good kid."
"I'm not so sure anymore to be honest. I never thought he would do that" he mumbled, not wanting to reveal how hurt he was.
"He's still young and he's experimental. Also he didn't know that I was looking for you, it's not his fault" Jaeyoon remarked, smiling gently as he noticed the older blushing.
"I don't know what you mean" he stuttered, avoiding Jaeyoon's gaze as he tried to pass by him.
Swiftly Jaeyoon maneuvered him against the closest wall, trapping him with his arms.
"Hyung I'm not blind. I notice the way you always look at me" he replied with a smirk, making the older blush even more.
"Class is starting soon" he whispered, still not looking up at the younger boy who was already so close to him.
"Let's skip class" Jaeyoon suggested, the older immediately looking up at him in shock.
"I can't" he replied, feeling his heartbeat rapidly picking up it's pace as he was only a few centimeters away from his friend.
"Hyung let's meet tonight then."
"Fine and now let me go to class or else we'll be late."
"Not yet. Be nice to Sanghyuk, he'll probably never change but he's still our friend. Also I wouldn't have found out the truth about you if it weren't for him and you wouldn't have found out that I also like you" the younger replied, letting Inseong go as he finished talking.
"Huh?"
"Let's go to class or else your score will be ruined" Jaeyoon reminded, already starting to walk into the direction of their classroom.
"Yah Jaeyoon wait" he called out, running after his best friend who couldn't stop smiling to himself.
"I'm sorry if I scared you" Jaeyoon chuckled, noticing Inseong blushing even more and he already loved teasing him about it.
"Yah don't act like you look so intimidating. You aren't intimidating at all" he complained, pouting as he sat down at his designated desk.
"Do you want to see me being intimidating?" the younger immediately asked, leaning closer to Inseong once again.
"Are you crazy? Of course not" Inseong mumbled, lowering his head as he couldn't forget the way Jaeyoon looked at him only a few minutes before.
"So you do."
"No. Sit down and shut up."
Once again the younger could only chuckle at his behavior, already thinking of a way to really  confess to him in the evening. He just felt happy knowing that he was the reason of Inseong's happiness and that he could make him blush so easily. He was too scared to tell anyone about his crush so he was really grateful that Sanghyuk accidentally informed him about his mutual feelings. 
"Were you serious before?" Inseong suddenly asked, looking at him with a nervous smile as he was already fearing his answer.
"I'm sorry hyung but you have to wait until tonight."
"That's not fair Jaeyoon-ah" the older complained.
"I won't tell you now" the younger replied, looking back at the older who was still pouting at him.
"Why are you even my friend? I still don't know why I'm doing this to myself" he mumbled to himself, shocking the younger a bit.
"Yah stop being so overdramatic hyung."
"I'm not being overdramatic, I'm being serious" Inseong lied, having to really stop himself from laughing out loud at seeing Jaeyoon's smile fade.
"Hyung" he whined as soon as he noticed that Inseong was teasing him, now being the one pouting.
"I'm sorry but it was only fair to tease you too" the older chuckled, smiling at Jaeyoon with the same angelic smile he fell for, making it hard for him to not tell the older on the spot how he feels.
"Let's concentrate on the class" he added, of course always being the smartest out of them.
Watching the older from the side studying made Jaeyoon's heart flutter, hoping that Inseong would really reciprocate his feelings and agree on dating him, after all they have been friends for a few years already. He felt extremely nervous but also couldn't keep his eyes off of the older, having always liked his feline eyes and his usual pouty lips whenever he was concentrated. Jaeyoon knew that he was absolutely in love with Inseong and that he never wanted to date somebody else, at least not in this lifetime.
"Jaeyoon-ah why are you looking at me like that?" Inseong softly asked, turning his head around to meet the younger's gaze. There was a small smile forming on his lips, looking at him with so much love, that it made Jaeyoon's heart beat faster. He couldn't help but get lost in the older's dark brown eyes, allowing himself the luxury to just stare at the older a bit longer.
"Lee Jaeyoon, would you please stop staring at your classmate?" a voice suddenly rang through the classroom, letting him snap out of his trance.
"I'm sorry" he mumbled while bowing slightly, hiding his face from the older in embarrassment and concentrating on his schoolwork.
