Today, the senior classes were to be considered as the luckiest class as they don't really have any academics to do for the day, their homeroom teacher just supervised them while they all brainstorm. All of them were given the time to come think of ideas for their graduation party and later assist in helping the organizers and student councils in preparation.

Well as expected, only a handful of students participated and the student council members held a panel-like situation in another room to get the ideas of every student.

"So I was thinking we should have like an American high school party for our graduation—" This one male student suggested on the panel.

"God help you" Taeyong interrupted, as he know where this was going. Majority of the male students thought they were sly enough to suggest alcohol in the graduation party.

"W-What?" The male student pretended to act innocent.

"You're clearly trying to convince us to do this kind of party so that you can bring alcohol, you're not that smart, now leave" Taeyong crossed out the name, while the student tried to look for help from the other panelists, Taeil and Doyoung, but they seemed to be powerless.

Despite Doyoung being president and Taeil being vice, they lost power from Taeyong's demeanor and energy. And Johnny was just there because he has to be near Taeyong.

Taeyong looked at who's next from the list, he saw Jaehyun's name, and when he looked up the boy was in front of him. He ignored his eyes and looked down on the paper.

"What's your idea?" Taeil tried to lighten the mood.

"I-I don't have one, I'm here to talk to Taeyong" Jaehyun looked like he was pleading for mercy.

"No" Taeyong spoke, all eyes were him, and Jaehyun's heart dropped.

"No idea, get out, this isn't any appraisal or whatnot" Taeyong said while his cold eyes stared back at Jaehyun's.

Everyone was silent, the at atmosphere was extremely thick, very suffocating.

"Look, I just wanted to talk things out" Jaehyun stated.

"Are you deaf? I said if you don't have an idea, then leave, you're not that big of a help anyways" Taeyong went back to his checklist and crossed out Jaehyun's name, once he heard the close.

The day went slowly, Taeyong being feared by the students and Jeno's occasional flirts with the older. The class also noticed the aura between Jaehyun and Taeyong, they all felt awkward whenever they were near together, their backs faced away from one another.

Alas, the day finally ended and Taeyong walked towards the bicycle parkings, and stood there unconsciously. His eyes getting lost at the sunset-colored concrete while his shoes peaked out in his vision.

Suddenly, his mind started replaying his memories with Jaehyun, and he smiles. He didn't even noticed that he smiled but it kept growing and the butterflies in his stomach went wild when his body recalls the way Jaehyun's fingers would brush on his soft, pale skin.

"Taeyong?" A voice called him out.

Taeyong looked up and his smiled drops from the realization. Johnny stood in front of him, with Jeno behind of him.

"Why are you here? You were supposed to be at the front of the school not here" Johnny grabbed Taeyong's backpack and walked towards the front, while Jeno slowly trails behind.
