Renjun sighed.

These guys were a mess.

At least they were in morning panic and not in deep gay panic.

"Hello everyone! My name is Huang Renjun, and I'm from China! Please take good care of me~!" Renjun did his  most energetic bow.

Whispers and squeals erupted from the new classmates Renjun didn't really pay attention to.

He was distracted by Jeno and Jaemin, sitting next to eachother smiling at him.

Butterflies awakened in Renjun's stomach.

"Thank you, Renjun. You can go sit by... ah! Let's put you by Daehwi!" The teacher, Mr. Lim, gestured to a fluffy looking boy at the very back of the room, near the corner by the window.

Cliche.

Renjun internally shrugged at himself. It felt like a typical anime cliche.

He walked on over to the boy with gray hair, Daehwi. Sitting down, Renjun politely greeted him.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you~" Renjun softly said.

"It's nice to meet you too!" Daehwi cutely smiled.

Oh hey...
He's pretty nice.
I wonder if he's gay....

"Alright class, if you could just turn to page 433..." Mr. Lim started the lesson.

Renjun followed along in class diligently, not wanting to drag behind because he transfered in the middle of the year.

"Psst!"

Renjun scratched his ear.
What was that.

"Pssssst!"

Renjun glanced up for a second, surveying the room, and then returning to his classwork.

"PSSST! YAH! RENJUN!"

Renjun snapped his head to his right.

From all the way across the classroom, Jaemin was gesturing like crazy to get his attention.

Renjun held a laugh.

Jeno was giving him a hilariously  judgemental look.

"Renjun! Let's sit together at lunch!" Jaemin whispered, making a heart with his fingers.

"Dude what about me?" Jeno quietly  shot. "Renjunnie, sit with me!"

Renjun was in another dilemma.

Why couldn't they just sit together?

Renjun sighed and shook his head with a smile.

"I'm gonna sit with Lele and Jiji!" Renjun mouthed back.

"WHAT?!! AWE~" Jaemin whinned loudly.

"Mr. Na, do you have something to say..?" Mr. Lim raised a brow.

Jaemin immediately stood up, cheeks flushed with embarassment.

"Y-yes... um... er.. no... uh..."

"Don't tell me I have to give you a detention on the first day back from break," the teacher shot him a disapproving look.

Mr. Lim sighed and reached for the detention slips when Jeno raised his hand.

"Mr. Lim," Jeno looked at Jaemin. "He was asking me to help him find his notebook. Is it okay that we share? I think he left it in his last period."
