ATEEZ FAMILY

Chapter 8:Pretty Boy

Yunho and Mingi were playing video games.

Yunho was losing terribly to Mingi's mad skills

Yunho slouched in his seat in defeat as Mingi basked in the glory.

"So about your friends. You need to stop hanging out with them." Yunho spoke in a serious tone.

"But they're really not that bad."

"They're influencing you Mingi. They're not your friends. Trust me. This is for your sake. Okay?"

Mingi went silent for a while but agreed to it. Maybe it was for the best. All his friends did was make him do dumb shit.

Yunho felt he did the right thing. He would always protect them.

No matter what.

The next day was Yeosang was late for breakfast because he was too nervous for his appointment.

"Hey sweetie, why you late?" Seonghwa asked as he set his son's plate on the table.

"Oh, uuuuh, just nervous for the appointment. No big deal."

"Don't be nervous everything will be fine. After breakfast I'll take you to your appointment then school afterwards."

Yeosang nodded and stuffed pancakes in his mouth.

"And after that I'm taking you out on a date."Hongjoong winked at Seonghwa who giggled at his husband's cuteness.

"Aweeee look at you two, still so in love."San cooed as his brothers agreed with him.

"Well, I do love your mom. He's caring, sweet, hot, what's there not to love."

"Oh you!" Seonghwa laughed and slightly smacked his husband's shoulder making their kids laugh

Jongho nervously watched his parents. He couldn't take it anymore.

"Jongho, where you going?"

"I'm gonna head out. Bye guys."he grabbed his packed lunch and left.

Seonghwa looked at him worriedly but decided not to dwell on it too much.

Jongho put on his headphones and blasted music.

He walked down the streets feeling frustrated. Music always made him feel better.

He still didn't have an answer to his problems. He let the music cloud his thoughts.

He wasn't watching where he was going, too busy in his thoughts.

His face came in contact with someone's chest. He stumbled on his feet as he looked up.

He widened his eyes at the person before him.

Jaehyun.

The man that kissed his mother.

"Hey you okay?"He asked as he looked at Jongho curiously.

Jongho wanted to shout out all his frustration. Insult him. Curse at him. Possibly punch him across the face.

Jongho tsked and continued walking.

Was this a coincidence? Or maybe a sing?

A sing to confront his mother and expose him for cheating?

Jongho put his thoughts aside and focused on his music.

Yunho opened his locker to take out his books. It wasn't time for class, he just wanted to study.

Yunho loved to study. He could study anytime and it really paid off. Many people envied his smart brain and ability to grasp things quickly. His teachers just admired the boy and everything he did.

"Hey." Yunho turned around to meet the owner of the voice.

He rolled his eyes to the far back of his head.

"What winwin?"

The chestnut-haired boy giggled.

"Just saying hi. What's the big deal?"

"The big deal is you made me help you cheat, threatened to take my brother to the police, need I say more?"

"He deserved it."

"He did, but what you did was also fucked up. And why are you here. Shouldn't you be suspended or something?"

"I got my ways. I bribed the principal."he had a smug smile on his face.

Yunho looked at him in shock.

"You what?"

Winwin shrugged.

"I bribed the principal. He was pretty easy hehe. Anyway I'm here and I ain't going anywhere."

"Yay me."

Yunho closed his locker and faced the boy. He was slightly taller than Yunho which irritated the boy because he didn't like it when people were taller than him.

His dark eyes met Yunho's and he felt like he couldn't look away. They were indeed beautiful, he couldn't lie.

"I just have one question." their faces were inches apart. Winwin looked at his lips and back to his eyes.

"What?"

"Why does the school bad boy, who clearly doesn't care about studies, have the intense urge to stay in school. To even go to the extent of bribing the principal. Hmm?"

Winwin let out a low chuckle that made Yunho slightly shiver.

'what the hell is he doing to me!'

" What do you think?"

" Is it because of your precious Ferrari? "

"Nope." winwin moved a little closer. Their noses slightly touching.

'we're in the damn hallway how is nobody seeing this!!!'

It was still early which meant there weren't a lot of people in the halls.

"Then what?"

"Would you believe me if I said it was because of you?"

"Absolutely not."

"Then you better believe me, pretty boy."

Yunho felt his breath hitch. 

Winwin smiled once more and left. Leaving Yunho a confused mess.

Yunho refused to fall for the boy's flirtatious acts. And his beautiful eyes, sharp jawline, lilac scent, kissable lips.

Yunho slapped himself for having such thoughts. But one particular kept lingering his mind.

'pretty boy'
