Tutored by desire| jaewoo

Chapter twelve

Jungwoo had a free period, so he made his way to the library, to blow off some steam, and to also get some sleep, but somehow he couldn't, he was conflicted. How would he face jaehyun?, how was he going to tutor him with their current situation?, it weighed on his mind like a burden he couldn't shake off.

Just as jungwoo's thoughts were spiraling into a vortex of anxiety, a cheerful voice cut through the silence.

"Hey, hyung! What's up?"

Jungwoo's gaze drifted up to find Renjun standing before him, with a bright smile plastered on his face.

Renjun's bright smile managed to lighten the mood a tad bit, his eyes crinkling at the corner as he greeted the older male. His messy honey-brown hair framed his heart shaped face, making him exceptionally attractive and cute.

Jungwoo forced a weak smile, trying to shake off his troubled thoughts. The brunette and renjun really didn't speak so often, but seeing themselves once in a while like this, they exchanged pleasantries.

"Nothing much, renjun. Just...studying," jungwoo replied, gesturing to the books scattered before him.

"Studying? I know this isn't my place to say, but you look like you're worrying about something hyung."

Jungwoo chuckled, attempting to downplay his concerns. "Nah, I'm just...thinking about my schedule. Tutoring and all"

Jungwoo hesitated for a moment before deciding to bring up the topic. "Hey, renjun? Can I ask you something?"

Renjun smile dulled a bit, and his eyes lingered on jungwoo's face for a fraction of a second longer than usual. "What is it hyung?"

"You know how I'm suppose to tutor you this afternoon, I was wondering if it's okay with you if...if jaehyun joins us,"

Jaehyun?, the school most popular former athlete, jaehyun?, this was new, in all of renjun's days of taking tutoring sessions with jungwoo, he knew the brunette never associated with people popular, or they simply never received tutoring sessions from jungwoo, but it was quiet understandable, considering that it was a well known news that jaehyun was repeating the senior year for the third time now, so renjun did not want to put much thought into it.

"Jaehyun, huh?" Renjun's expression turned thoughtful, as he nodded slowly. "Sure I don't see why I'd be a problem."

Jungwoo took a deep breath before continuing. "There's also something else. You know how I usually hold my tutoring sessions at your place?"

Renjun nodded. "Yeah what about that?"

"Well, I was wondering if it's still okay if we use your place for the session, with Jaehyun joining, we need a quiet space since the library is t available after school hours, and your home is usually empty during the afternoons...," jungwoo trailed off, hoping renjun wouldn't mind.

Renjun's expression softened, and he smiled, his voice becoming warmer. "Of course, hyung. You're welcome to use my place."

Jungwoo felt a wave of relief wash over him, he was overjoyed that renjun had agreed to this considering they weren't even that close. "Thanks, Renjun. I really appreciate it."

Renjun's nodded, his eyes sparkling with kindness, and for a moment, jungwoo thought he saw something flicker in renjun's gaze, but it was gone before the brunette could grasp it, having him wonder if it was just his imagination.

"No problem, hyung. Actually...I was thinking, after your next class, maybe we could grab lunch together?"

Jungwoo's eyebrow shot up in surprise. It was an unexpected request, considering their interaction were usually limited to pleasantries when they ran into each other.
