The Transferee's Mute ⇥ Luwoo

Chapter 22

NO ONE'S POV

One day before the christmas party. Everyone was had their free time, on their phones or talking to their friends in class.

The professors were also on break, keeping an eye of the class for any ruckus, or checking the students' homework papers.

The trio was quiet, either sleeping or staring at space and minding their own business.

Jungwoo was looking outside the glass window, which the view was the streets. His mind was blank, not in the mood to overthink anything about school. His two friends were dozing off.

He looked at his seatmate, who was now completely asleep. This was the time to study his features because he can't stare at him without blushing and Lucas teasing him all day whenever he got caught.

The mute wasn't kidding when he thought Lucas was handsome because he really is. Not because of his face, his personality and charisma were the characteristics Jungwoo got attracted to.

The older was so mesmerize he didn't realized Yukhei was aware that he was staring, and he was slightly enjoying it.

Taeil woke up because of his classmates' noise. The first thing he saw was his best friend gazing at his tall friend while wearing a small smile.

Not to break the mood, he let them be and went to talk to Minhyuck.

The field was pretty quiet until Jungwoo's group of friends decided it would be a great idea to hang out there at 11:30 AM.

The peaceful atmosphere became noisy. As usual, the Dreamers were joking around about Jaehyun asking Taeyong out.

"It's completely clear that he likes you Jaehyun hyung. Don't say he doesn't or I'll lost it." Mark covered his ears. He doesn't want to hear his hyung telling him 'No, he's not'.

Jaehyun thanked that Taeyong wasn't with them or he'll strangle each and every one of his friends.

"If you stop forcing me, I'll ask him if he's available." He promised. The group cheered and sat to the bleachers.

They did their routine every this hour. Taeyong arrived but quickly excused himself and dragged Jaehyun with him.

Ten yelled, "Let's get it Jaehyun!" They laughed and saw his ears getting red before the two of them disappeared.

'That was something.' Jungwoo signed to Taeil. He just laughed and fixed his things.

The oldest suddenly remembered something. "Should we stay in the library or in a classroom? We can stick together in one room." He asked.

It got them thinking and debating whether they can stay in an empty classroom, which should be the Geometry room, or the library.

They decided to go to a classroom where only a few students stays in or they can get it for themselves since they could get kicked out of the library.

"It's settled. I'll just informed those two later. I'm going now." Taeil went back to the building, so did the others.

Yukhei was about to go down as well but Jungwoo stopped him and motioned to sit beside him.

He chuckled. "Why? We should go back also." The younger said.

The red haired pouted as his answer. Then Yukhei recalled that he had to ask him about Younghyun.

Curiosity got the best of him. He can't help it but to think what happened between them.

He inhaled deeply. "Jungwoo." Lucas called. The mute looked at him with a soft, innocent look. Now he doesn't want to bring his bright aura down so he removed the thought away. "Nevermind."

The taller ruffled his hair and kissed his forehead like he always do when they reached the mute's apartment.

Jungwoo can get a hang of this.

"Should I ask him about it? I don't want to ruin his good mood today." Lucas whispered to Taeil and glanced at his crush, who was winning the game of rock-paper-scissors against Seungmin.

Taeil shook his head. "You can ask Younghyun. You just had your date and talk about his past with that guy? I don't think so." He sipped on his hot chocolate.

They were at Summer Cafe and happened to ran into Seungmin. He was alone so they kept him company.

Yukhei sighed. "I think I'll talk to Younghyun if he's in somewhere tomorrow." He slumped on his seat. His mind was a mess ever since Jungwoo told his story.

"I'm going home guys. See you around at the party." Seungmin waved goodbye and walked out of the cafe.

The trio got themselves comfortable on the couches until night time strikes.

Taeil separated ways with the two. Jungwoo's heartbeat was going on a fast rate. He was used to Yukhei and him walking home as always but his heart still flutters everytime he's alone with the taller.

The silence was long gone when the younger started chattering, just to keep the silent feeling away.

He was talking nonstop. It's not that Jungwoo wanted to have some peace and quiet, he always dreamt of a roommate because he was tired of the stillness in his apartment room.

They got into the building in a short time. Jungwoo and Lucas faced each other.
"You're here. Good night Woo." He leaned in.

The former prepared himself for the kiss but tonight was a different one.

Instead on his puffy cheek, Yukhei placed the kiss on the corner of lips. That left him dumbfounded for sure. The red haired was startled that he didn't felt the younger slapping his arm lightly. "Hey!"

Jungwoo blinked rapidly. He smiled and waved at him goodnight then fast walked to the building door.

He was lucky Yukhei didn't saw how red his face was.
