Too Innocent ~ Jeongchan

Chpt. 23

   Chan woke up to screaming. He whined and tried to ignore it, reaching to grab Jeongin, but the younger was missing. Chan sat up and rubbed at his eyes with his sweater paws while he tried to tune into the screaming. He soon realized that one of the voices was his love, and got out of the bed and began shuffling to the door. He listened for a second before opening the door and heading to the living room where the noise was coming from. He stood in the hall and listened since no one had seen him yet.

   "I'm not going! Why would I go?" He saw Jeongin yell.

   "Because you shouldn't do something like that over text! That's not fair to him!" Hyunjin spoke up. 

   "What's not fair is him putting me in the middle of this!" Jeongin grumbled loudly.

   Chan decided to go ahead and make his presence known. He walked over into his now slightly taller boyfriends side. Over the past few months, Jeongin had a grown spurt and was now a few inches taller than himself.

   "W-what's going on?" Chan mumbled quietly, still sleepy.

   "Well, your boyfriend here got-" Changbin started before the youngest cut him off.

   "No! Stop! There's no need to tell him because I'm not going," Jeongin said assertively.

   "Innie? What's happening and why are you all yelling?" Chan asked, becoming nervous. What happened? 

   "Just tell him, Jeongin. He'll understand and can help diffuse the situation.," Jinwoo said softly.

   "Fine. So basically this kid from school texted me and asked me if we could meet up because he has something he wants to tell me. Felix knows he wants to confess to me, and I don't wanna go. I have you. If I don't show up, he'll get the point," Jeongin said turning towards Chan.

   "Innie, you should go. At least tell him in person. If someone stood me up and didn't even let me confess I'd be pretty upset. I can go with one of the boys and we can sit at a different table. How does that sound?" Chan asked. Sure, he was a bit jealous, but he felt bad for the kid. It wouldn't be fair to him.

   "Well, I guess that works," Jeongin mumbled. Chan smiled and kissed his cheek.

   "So, who is it?" Chan asked, yawning a little after.

   "His name's Eric. He's in my grade," Jeongin said.

   "Ooh, he's the one that shot that 3-point that got us to the championship for basketball last year! I've talked to him before and he's nice!" Chan said, hugging Jeongin tighter. 

     "Alright well let's all go get changed! I know you all brought a change of clothes so once we're all ready we can head out!" Minho said. Everyone nodded and went back to their rooms. 

   "Alright baby I'm gonna go get a shower, I'll be right back!" Jeongin said, grabbing his bag and kissing Chan on the cheek before heading into the shower connecting to their room. Chan smiled and grabbed his bag to get changed. However, instead of finding clothes, he found a note. 

   It read, "Meet me in my room, I have an outfit I want you to try! - Seungmin"

   Chan tilted his head, a little confused. He shrugged before going to the room that Seungmin and Hyunjin were staying in. He knocked, hearing a "Come in!" before he opened the door and walked in. Hyunjin was fixing his hair and Seungmin was applying a little bit of makeup. Seungmin finished putting on his blush and turned towards Chan.

   "Hey Hyung! So I have an extra outfit cause I always pack extra in case of an emergency! I thought it would look really cute on you! Here! Go try it on! If you don't like it, I  have the clothes you had originally packed on the counter in the bathroom!" Seungmin said, thrusting an outfit into Chan's hands. He smiled with a small blush and made his way into the bathroom. He took off his pj's and put on the outfit Seungmin chose.
