Jinyoung laid down on the bed thinking about what Jackson had said. Continue to pretend we're dating or go back to ignoring each other. He wanted Jackson by his side. He didn't want to go back to ignoring each other. But he must choose one. He placed his hand on his chest to know if his heart outweighs his brain. Pretend to date. Tʜᴜᴍᴘ. Tʜᴜᴍᴘ.
He got up and fixed himself when he noticed a phone...a dead phone. This must be Jackson's. Is this a sign? He put the phone in his pocket. And went to thank the nurse before he left the clinic. He walked down the quiet hallway and went straight to where the lockers are. He leaned on the wall near their classroom door waiting for the class to finish in few minutes.
The school bell rang and kids started filling the hallway. Jinyoung ignored all the stares and murmuring. He continued looking at his phone while he waited for Jackson.

"Jinyoung? What are you doing here?" Jinyoung looked up and saw Jaebeom and Mark walking towards him.
"Hey, Jaebeom hyung. Hi, Mark. I'm waiting for someone"
Mark laughed softly, "we figured that out but I think Jaebeom meant why are waiting in here when you can just go inside your classroom since Jackson is still there."
Jinyoung straighten himself, looked at the two and smiled, "thanks, Mark...see you both around." Before he can move, Jaebeom grabbed his arm, "is everything ok? You feel better?"
"Hyung, I'm ok...really. It was not a big deal...it was just hunger pains ok." Jinyoung replied
"You sure? You know you can tell me right?" Jaebeom still asked and did not let go of Jinyoung.
"Really, Hyung. I am ok...I'm more embarrassed....please I need to go, before Jackson leaves."Jinyoung said trying to leave.
Mark held Jaebeom's shoulder to let Jinyoung go. "He said he is ok, Jaebeom...just let him go."
Jaebeom turned to Mark who gave him an assuring look. He finally let go Jinyoung and the younger walked away from them.
Jinyoung went inside the empty classroom. Damn it, he left. I missed him. Jinyoung was frantically searching for Jackson. He went to the gym. He went to the outdoor court. He went back to the clinic in case he went there. Nothing. He called Yugyeom to ask Jackson's dorm room number. He went to the dorm and knocked at his door. No luck.
Where could he be? Jinyoung now panting from walking around. He tried his best to think where could Jackson be. He knew that he didn't know that much about him which made him more annoyed.
Jinyoung hang his head low out of frustration and started walking to his car to charge Jackson's phone.
"Seunie!!!" Jinyoung shouted when he saw the boy walking carrying 2 school bags with him. Sweating and all. He looked like he ran a marathon from all the sweat.
