❝good friends my ass.❞
chan flinched from his placed and turned to the side with his brows furrowed, surprised to hear the older say that with such language. ❝anything bothering you?❞
jeffrey helped him in arranging the books in the bookshelves and even carried some for the younger as they were making their way to find a vacant table at the corner of the library. ❝i've had enough of everything already!❞
it was so not like the wong to look so frustrated as ever. the last time that chan had seen him like this was when the older was too busy with managing with his school projects that he didn't get to visit his papa to the hospital, who was expecting for his youngest sibling. three weeks, jeffrey blamed himself for three weeks for being a bad brother for not being present there and witnessing little sushi's first breath in this world. the lee can't calm him down, and not even his bestfriend's jokes were able to put a smile on his face during that time.
seeing him act like this, he must have been so conflicted with his situation. he was always seen as someone who's composed and collected, who is so kind and patient, someone who can never get mad even if you get jiro to pick up a fight with him. watching him cussing his life out and having a fistful of his hand clutching on to his hair— chan was lowkey enjoying this.
❝it's a surprise that you're coming to me for this.❞ the younger said with a chuckle, dropping the books he was forced to read down and placed all his attention to male sitting across him. ❝i thought jiro is your partner in crime.❞
the mention of that guy's name caused for jeffrey's brow to twitch. ❝don't even get me started with him.❞
❝i know, he brought twenty to a bar.❞ chan then started to explain to him what his boyfriend ranted to him with their phone call last night. ❝and so did his parents find out about it.❞
that was the part of the story which the wong did not know of. ❝is that why he's not here?❞
the lee laughed with a nod. ❝he's grounded.❞
not saying anything for a good minute, jeffrey started clapping as if he was congratulating his friend for winning something. ❝deserved.❞
chan can't help but roll his eyes at the two's friendship. way back, he can clearly remember how that park hated this guy's guts. he didn't know if it was because the wong had done something to annoy him, or because he is just simply jealous. knowing jiro, it's probably the latter. he can be truly a handful sometimes, chan is still wondering why he ever fell for someone like him. then again,
❝so, let me guess, no gadgets?❞ jeffrey questioned.
only to have the younger shake his head. ❝he reasoned out that it was the only way to catch up from school while being grounded.❞
