「Two」

Chapter Two: Of curly hair and missing sketchpad

"I'm definitely screwed as fuck," Jeongin mumbles as his head hit the table with a loud bang. A sigh soon escapes his lips as another loud thud resonates around the fully-packed cafeteria from a tray being put down. "Language, young man--"

"Stop acting like you don't curse, Felix."  The said boy only rolls his eyes at Jisung before looking back at Jeongin. "--Is what I'm gonna say to you if I don't use that kind of vulgar language every day--" Felix glares at Jisung for interrupting him yet, once again.

"You use 'fuck' as if it's the most common word in the world ever." The younger (by a day) scoffs and continues to ignore Jisung's witty remark and pats Jeongin's head softly. "--But, what's wrong, Innie?" The said boy only shakes his head. Seungmin snorts at that movement. The blonde turns to the brunette with questioning eyes.

"Jeongin lost his sketchbook yesterday." The tallest of the four says as he casually takes a bite of his tuna sandwich. "Oh, just that?" Jisung asks, stuffing his cheeks with the mac n' cheese he brought from the cafeteria. "Just that? It's not just a sketchbook, hyung! It's my sketchbook --my sketchbook!" The youngest of them all exclaims, clearly agitated at how his friends don't get it. "Chill, you can always just buy a new one." The blue-haired male calmly suggests. He takes another bite of his mac 'n' cheese.

Jeongin grumbles on his seat as he points an accusing finger at Seungmin, glaring at him before opening his mouth to probably shout at him. "You! You were the reason why I lost it! If only you weren't running away from your feelings for Hyun--" His best friend immediately stops him at that by literally slapping a hand over his mouth. "You're overreacting, Innie." The latter says as the said boy shakes his head in disagreement. "Hyung!" He points a finger at Jisung, making the said boy startle for a second before looking at the younger with questioning eyes. "Imagine your lyric notebook going missing! Isn't it bad like how everything, literally everything is in there?" Jeongin asks with wide eyes and expressive eyes.

Then, Jisung ponders for a moment. "Well, if you put it that way, yeah, it's pretty awful." The youngest perks up at that. "See!" Then he turns towards Felix, who had been suspiciously quiet during the whole ordeal --only to see him staring at the table across the room. The youngest follows his dreamy-like gaze only to see the notorious bad boy of the school, Seo Changbin.

"Look at what we have here," He says in an obvious teasing voice. The other boys, excluding Felix, as he's too busy making heart eyes towards the bad boy, look at Jeongin and confusedly following his gaze only to find the said ogling boy. "What do you mean?" Seungmin asks in a confused manner as the blonde looks at the youngest with questioning eyes. The youngest but, definitely not the shortest, rolls his eyes playfully at his friends and tells them to follow Felix's lovesick gaze.

"Wait, you like Seo Changbin?!" Jisung exclaims as he dramatically stands up on his seat while pointing an accusing finger at Felix. And as if on autopilot, the latter immediately whips his head towards the dramatic boy. "What the fuck? Jisung!" The freckled boy exclaims as he drags his best friend down before looking around to see if he had caught the people's attention. Felix heaves a sigh of relief as he looks at the almost empty cafeteria.

Then he looks at Jisung with a glare. "What the fuck was that for?!" The latter pouts at his best friend's words. "Sorry..." Felix sighs and looks at the direction where he had been absentmindedly staring. He whips his head only to see the one and only Changbin looking back at him.

"Oh shit, oh shit, he saw me! Fuck, Jisung, this is all your fault!" Felix ducks his head in embarrassment as he buries his warm face with his hands. "Not my fault why you were staring at him in the first place." The blonde male says as he shrugs his shoulder and continues to eat his lunch as if he didn't cause a ruckus in the cafeteria.
