"why are you both late to class? it's almost 3rd period." their professor scolded them, and the boys had their head down, while the whole class snickered at them.
"detention after school. you both young men are going to stay back, clean every class room and set the tables and chairs in the correct order of the second and third floor. understood?"
"yes sir." both jaehyun and doyoung nodded, even though they were sad because they had to stay back for detention.
the classes went on by, with doyoung jotting down the notes and concentrating on the class.
it wasn't the same with jaehyun though.
the milk he drank that morning during breakfast must have been stale or from a magical cow because he couldn't keep his eyes off doyoung.
well, yeah sometimes he would look back into his notes and read what he wrote for like a second but then again his eyes would go back to doyoung, to his soft hair and the way he sat in tiny.
and being in the back was a huge advantage too.
-
the classes went by quickly, jaehyun sitting beside doyoung in lunch and both having the most random conversations ever.
doyoung whipped out his phone, dialing jisoo's number and putting it on speaker.
"doie!"
he laughed when she shouted through the phone, hearing some sounds going around the back, and knew she was at some kind of a big and lavish party.
"hey ji. how are you?"
"i'm great. came across many familiar faces and that is making me feel very happy."
she laughed in the background, and he looked at jaehyun.
"ji? who are you with?"
"huh? oh me? i'm with dad, and some other guy that i really don't know." her words sounded slurred, and both the boys realized she's drunk.
"are you drunk?" doyoung asked her sternly.
"yeah. god this wine is heavenly doie. it's so sweet and delicious. anyway, what are you doing? it's lunch isn't it?"
"hmm yeah. i'm with jaehyun. he joined me for lunch."
"oh that's good! hi jae!"
"hey jisoo." he smiled at the phone like he could see her, and doyoung felt a weird feeling spread throughout his stomach.
"aww guys, sorry but i gotta go! let's talk tomorrow okay! bye!"
"ji-" the phone got cut off, and doyoung put his phone on the table and worriedly gazed at it, chewing on his rosy lips, jaehyun's eyes falling onto that action.
"doyoung?"
"she's drunk jaehyun. and probably doesn't know what's going on around her. i don't think her parents are even there with her. what if, what if someone, seeing her in this state tries to-"
"doyoung. nothing won't happen to her. i promise. jisoo's a strong girl."
"yeah. but she's innocent too you know. she's too kind and too nice. people take advantage of that." he looked sad, and jaehyun pat his back, comforting him.
"she'll be fine doyoung. she's strong and grown enough to know what she's doing okay? hmm?"
"yes. thank you for that jaehyun."
doyoung smiled at him, and jaehyun had to look away to stop himself from staring and making himself look like a complete idiot.
oh god kim doyoung.
-
"i fucking hate detention." doyoung exclaimed, adjusting the strap of his bag on his shoulder, the pink detention slip between his fingers.
jaehyun laughed fondly at his frowning hyung, the both walking uptowards detention.
it was the one of the empty classrooms upstairs, but they had an advantage because the room had a smart board, and windows that overlook a beautiful view of the other school block and their playground, big trees surrounding it.
"it's okay hyung. atleast we will have a nice view to look at."
"hmm. maybe. if the teacher let's us."
they entered the class, only to come face to face with no one else.
"where's the teacher?" doyoung said, keeping his bag on a chair and looking into the class, and then at the empty hallways again.
"don't know." jaehyun did the same too, keeping his bag on another chair, walking upto the window and looking down at the students, going back home, some walking, some on their bikes, the rich kids in their luxurious cars and the rest getting up on the school bus.
"it's fine jaehyun. maybe we should just start working on making these classrooms neat and right. that way we can go home fast. also, the teacher may appear then. let's go."
both of them headed to the first room on the left, coughing as soon as they walked into it. it was so dusty. jaehyun was sure his finger would be black if he wiped it on a table.
"my nose is so itchy."
doyoung said, and started sneezing cutely, wiping his hands on his nose.
he hasn't stopped sneezing, and that made jaehyun worry, who took a handkerchief out of his pocket and went to the elder, making him face him by holding his shoulders and tying the cloth around his nose and mouth.
"you still carry a handkerchief?" doyoung's voice sounded muffled from under the cloth.
"yeah." jaehyun could see the way doyoung's eyes crinkled up, and he knew that the latter was smiling.
"so cute." he said, making jaehyun not look away from him.
"yeah. so cute indeed."
doyoung could feel the weight of jaehyun's arms on his shoulders, and their close proximity, and the way their eyes never strayed away from one another.
doyoung sneezed again, breaking the 'moment' they were having, and the both walked away to the either side of the room, doyoung setting the tables right, and jaehyun dusting the chairs.
it was a lot of hard work to two teenagers who wanted nothing more than to go back home and have something to eat.
they were done with the first room, and then moved to the second one, grimacing as this seemed way dirtier than the first one.
"how can give us these classes to clean? this is seriously so unhygienic."
jaehyun sighed at the statement, nodding as it was true.
"c'mon. let's get this done quick. after this maybe we can roam around the school."
