A Wish Upon a Star | Yeonbin ✓

XXXIII

The morning classes quickly passed by and soon it was English Literature class, the moment Soobinn had been dreading.

As soon as the bell for English rang, Soobin shot out of his seat and hurried to the English room, determined to reach there fast and to collect himself before having to meet Yoonho.

"What's up with him?" Beomgyu commented when he saw Soobin leave without waiting for them.

Yeonjun smiled, "He's trying to do his best with Yoonho."

Beomgyu sighed, "I swear to God, I will kill Yoonho if he bullies our Soobinnie-hyung any mo-"

"Quick Taehyun, we need to go get seats near them, let's go," Yeonjun cut off Beomgyu and ran out the door in a hurry. Taehyun and Beomgyu too, speedily followed Yeonjun out.

In the English Literature room, Soobin was one of the only people there. He took deep breaths as he tried to calm his nerves. He was determined to try hard, not for Yoonho, not for the project, but for Yeonjun, for the Yeonjun who believed in him.

"Yeonjun-hyung trusts me to be able to do this. I won't break his trust, I'll make him proud," Soobin silently pep-talked himself, lightly hitting his cheeks to get fired up.

"Yes baby, make me proud," Yeonjun's sweet voice reached Soobin's ears and he felt Yeonjun kiss the top of his head.

Soobin, who hadn't realized that Yeonjun was already in the room, turned around to face Yeonjun with reddened cheeks, "H-Hi hyung."

"Hi, best of luck," Yeonjun flashed him a bright smile before putting his own books on the table directly behind Soobin's.

"Hyung will be right here, so don't worry, okay?"

"I'll beat Yoonho up for you if he tries anything more," Beomgyu too, piped up taking the seat right in front of Soobin's.

"Don't get pushed around by him and take care of yourself, hyung," Taehyun too, gave Soobin a reassuring smile.

"Thank you so much, guys," Soobin felt happy and warm.

Right then, Yoonho walked in through the door, the other boys shot short reassuring glances at Soobin and settled down on their seats as the teacher too, entered.

Soobin took a deep breath as Yoonho took the empty seat beside him.

"Hi, Yoonho."

Yoonho briefly glanced at Soobin before turning to look at Yeonjun, "Hey, Junnie."

Soobin just stayed frozen in awkwardness, still turned to Yoonho who wasn't even looking at him.

Yeonjun looked up to meet Yoonho's eyes, they seemed cheerful, way too cheerful.

Yeonjun switched his gaze to Soobin who was just awkwardly watching Yoonho try talking to him.

"Hi, I hope you do good with your work," Yeonjun forced a short smile to Yoonho before switching his gaze to Soobin, "Best of Luck, Soobinnie."

Yeonjun got back to work with Taehyun, underlining points and jotting down his ideas.

"Let's get working," Soobin suggested hesitantly, switching his gaze at Yoonho again after giving Yeonjun an awkward glance, sensing the older's annoyance.

"Yeah, yeah," Yoonho replied, eyes not wavering off of Yeonjun.

"Can I help you?" Yeonjun was growing annoyed as he felt Yoonho's gaze on him.Yeonjun could also sense Soobin's discomfort, it was contributing to his grump.

"I thought you'd never ask!" Yoonho exclaimed, indifferent to everyone else's distaste.

"Just focus on your work, Yoonho," Yeonjun curtly said.

"On one condition," Yoonho held up his index finger, smirking.

"The teacher's been looking at us weird," Taehyun said, bending over his work but still projecting all his attention at Yoonho and Yeonjun.

"Tae's right, she is," Yeonjun agreed, about to go back to his work when suddenly, Yoonho reached out and softly grabbed his hand.

Yeonjun looked up at Yoonho, horrified.

Yeonjun tried to quickly snatch his hand back, Yoonho tightened his grip.

"The teacher's going to scold us any second now," Yeonjun snarled, staring dead into Yoonho's eyes.

Soobin and Taehyun watched intently, Soobin growing anxious.

"We're just discussing some things with them because we need a bit of outside advice, ma'am," Yoonho politely spoke up.

"Okay, just make sure not to disturb the others then, boys," the teacher replied, skeptical but willing to let it go.

"There you go babe, don't worry now."

"Don't. Call. Me. Babe."

"You're really sexy when you're angry," Yoonho continued.

"Do your work and stop being such a bother, you little bitch," Yeonjun growled.

Both Taehyun and Soobin were surprised as well as a little bit scared, they'd never seen the older be as angry before.

"Like, I said, on one condition," Yoonho grinned.

"What?" Yeonjun snapped.

"Go on a date with me."
