two.

jisung arrived at school the next day and was disappointed to find out seungmin was, yet again, not there. he went through his first three periods feeling quite bored as he and his best friend are quite chaotic and loud during class time, which he was missing out on without him.

break flew by with just him, felix and jeongin hanging out under the stairs and he quickly made his way to his fourth class. art. as per usual, it was the same boring classroom they take all of their classes in, with the same boring teacher they take for art three times a week. 

he took his seat and listened as the teacher explained the project that's to be completed by the first period of art they have next week. she explained that any materials can be used as long as they are cohesive, which made jisung happy.

but his mood quickly dropped when she announced that it's going to be a project done in partners.

students instantly found their way to the people they were friends with, already making conversation on what they wanted to do. his eyes followed everyone's movements until he took a glance at the boy to his right, still sat in his seat as he stared out of the window in silence.

his eyes reflected an emotion he could only read as... lonely?

in activities that require partners, seungmin and jisung always partner up - being best friends and all. and those who didn't have partners went in threes with their friends to avoid even going near jisung's seatmate in fear of what he'll do if they even try.

so, when the teacher asked those who didn't have a partner to raise their hand, minho raised his like every time. but so did han jisung. the teacher's eyes softened as she looked at the two boys before bringing her gaze to look out at the rest of the class.

"does anyone want to include jisung in their group?"

at those words, the blonde felt his blood boil. for some reason it made him mad that she just assumed he wouldn't want to work with minho just because he's intimidating. it irritated him that she thought that lowly of not only him but his seatmate, too.

he didn't know what came over him but, just as some girl was going to make an offer, jisung declined. he shook his head and looked the teacher in the eyes, his heart racing but a warm feeling in his heart.

"it's okay, i can work with minho."
