The Transferee's Mute ⇥ Luwoo

Chapter 15

JUNGWOO'S POV

"We can do this guys. We have to make this perfect tomorrow." Minhyuck tried to brighten their moods but it made the actors feel more anxious.

It was our final rehearsal and exams are starting on wednesday. I couldn't feel more nervous for us and my grades.

The whole group showed up, I don't know how they knew we're at school today, to support Taeil and Lucas, or maybe because they want to go to Seoul mall after our practice.

I'll take the second guess.

They were all shouting and screaming, except for Kun, Renjun, and Jisung, when Lucas's part came up. Kyungsoo and Minho were trying to shut them up but here I am glaring at Naeun because of jealousy.

"Stop being jelly Jungwoo, we all know Yukhei likes you and he talked to Kyungsoo about that scene." Minho tried to calm me down before I do something unnatural. "Yah! Shut up!" He yelled at the backseat.

Then I heard it.

I looked at him shocked. "One of your friends told me and I'm keeping it a secret, also it's obvious you two like each other." He said. My cheeks were flushed and felt my face getting hotter.

Minho laughed loudly and the other guys diverted their attention from the play to us. I put my hand on his mouth to shut him up and shook my head.

"Let go or I'll lick your hand." He muffled. I quickly removed my hand and wiped it on the sleeve of is shirt. "I didn't even do anything. Stop wiping."

I stuck my tongue out and focused my attention to the stage. I don't know what scene they were because I didn't read the whole story.

"I admit your singing voice is great."
"Taeil hyung was awesome!"
"Is that why you chose Glee club?"
"I should've chose Literature, even though my acting skills are useless."

The hyung line complimented Taeil and Lucas while the maknaes admired them. Mark was just staring at the wall, or more like to Donghyuck.

Then there's Yuta. "Good thing I didn't took Literature this year." He muttered. Doyoung and Jaehyun laughed at him.

I was kind of left out because I can't join their conversation without tapping the table repeatedly to get their attention so I remained silent, like I always do.

We finished at 6:30 PM and went to the mall to eat dinner. We decided to eat at a big restaurant for us to to fit in inside. Being in a group consist of 18 boys is a tough one but I'm not saying anything bad to them.

Sitting to my left was a wall and to my right was Jeno. He was engrossed with a book and I knew very well if I try to get his attention.

In front of me was Lucas but he was talking to Taeyong. I sulked because I have no one to talk to until Jeno tapped my shoulder.

"Everything alright hyung?" He asked. "I also learned sign language so you can talk to me." He smiled.

I signed to him that I kept quiet because some of our friends don't understand me and I don't have my phone or a pen to write down.

Jeno patted my back. "It's okay hyung, you can talk to me if you want."

Minutes later, the food we ordered came and we ate quickly since we didn't ate lunch. Still, I kept quiet.

"Jungwoo." Lucas called me. I looked up from my plate and he was giving me a napkin. I took it and looked at him. "Um..." He pointed to his cheek.

I wiped my cheek and blushed slightly. He laughed softly. "You had sauce on your face but you didn't noticed so..." Lucas trailed off.

I borrowed a pen from Jeno, which I was thankful for because he had one, and wrote on the napkin Lucas handed to me.

'I didn't felt it, thanks Yukhei.'

I continued on eating and we were all finished in a matter of time. We agreed to go home and parted our ways, except for Lucas and I, as always.

He walked home with me all the time ever since he knew where I live.

We were halfway walking to the apartment when it started raining. "Let's hurry!" Lucas grabbed my hand and we ran as fast as we could.

We reached the building, soaking wet as we watch the sky outside on the window. "I can't go home with this weather." The rain was getting heavier minute by minute.

Lucas looked at me. I looked back at him.

Don't tell me...

We got inside my apartment. "Your room is more spacier than mine. Does Taeil come here often?" I nod.

I went to my room to see if I had a hoodie or something that fits Lucas. He will stay here for the night. Oh my god.

I heard sounds on the living room so I assumed he turned the tv on.

Ok Jungwoo, calm yourself. He's just going to sleep here, nothing else. No more funny-

My thoughts were cut off when he knocked on the bedroom door. "I'll sleep on the couch if you're uncomfortable. Sorry to be a bother." He said.

I smiled at him and handed him the largest hoodie I owned. I picked up my phone and typed. 'Sorry, I don't have any pyjamas that fits you.'

"It's fine. Can I use your bathroom?" I pointed to my bedroom, telling him that it's inside.

He thanked me and went there. I plopped on my couch and heaved a heavy sigh. We aren't even a thing yet but I was starting to have weird thoughts.

Then I remembered he asked me out last tuesday.

This is going to be a long night.
