"i hate you." // jaeyong

XIX. partner

"still, why did you leave us waiting at the carnival? i couldn't find you anywhere so i had to tag along with that long chin guy and his boyfriend," wong yukhei exclaimed to jaehyun, running an enormous hand through his own head of brown hair, "they were getting all handsy and shit, i just wanted to leave. but guess what? i couldn't find you anywhere."

jaehyun rolled his eyes. the two boys were dressed in uniform this morning, returning back to school after a few short days free. it was 8 o'clock this monday morning and yukhei could not express his annoyance enough at his best friend jaehyun. the said boy walked a few steps ahead of the other to open the university's enterance doors for the both to walk through.

"it wasn't a big deal. i just went to go get lunch and back to the dorm after that," jaehyun said, completely passing over yukhei's words. he looked over to see his friend's angry face and slightly smirked to himself.

as the two walked further through the hallways jaehyun had started to notice the staggering amount of couples up against each other right next to the walls. boys and girls, hands down each other's asses, lips locked and slobbering, it was quite an unsettling sight. jaehyun grimaced and looked at his shiny shoes. even though he hated the sight of the couples, he couldn't help but feel a want to have that in his own life. someone he could touch and have all to himself, nobody else, the one person he enjoyed and felt vulnerable with, without feeling awkward and embarrassed.

he knew seulgi was out of the picture, so who else could it be?

jaehyun looked around the hallways and spotted a selection of women in their short skirts, laughing and smiling at things their friends had said. long and short hair of all different colors, pretty makeup, they were extremely gorgeous in a way.

except, jaehyun didn't really feel interest for the girls. he wanted seulgi and couldn't have her, now he just couldn't feel anything for any of the other women? what did this mean?

"jae!" yukhei said, interrupting the male's thoughts. jaehyun looked over to the other. he realized they were standing right in front of their classroom door.
jaehyun and yukhei walked into the room together. the boys were quite early, so they weren't expecting to see that many students in the classroom yet,

except for one.

jaehyun looked up to the top row of the classroom seats and spotted a luscious head of black hair.

lee taeyong.

jaehyun melted at the sight.

the man had his head resting on his palm and in his other hand, a pen, scribbling in a notebook. his eyes were very concentrated on whatever he was writing, his pupils dilated and wide. his pale face seemed more awake today.

the noise of metal on metal was heard as the door closed behind them and taeyong looked up from what he was doing to look at the door. he stared right into jaehyun's eyes.

the two held the shared eye contact for a few seconds before jaehyun did the unthinkable, and winked. jaehyun had winked. taeyong seemed taken aback from the sudden act of confidence and ran a flustered hand though his hair. jaehyun broadcasted a brilliant smile as he began to walk to his seat. the boy sat down and waited for the professor to arrive, ignoring everything yukhei was talking about this morning. he let his mind wander.

taeyong. the first thing his thoughts went to.

just a few short days ago the boy and jaehyun sat at that small cafe, getting to know each other all evening, seemingly never getting tired of the time spent. the silence they shared hadn't been awkward at all and jaehyun had actually appreciated it every so often, giving him time to reflect on their conversations. he would look straight into taeyong's eyes as the boy lit up, talking about whatever came into his head and exclaimed with true passion. jaehyun swore he could listen to taeyong talk forever. he then thought back to the time he and taeyong had played basketball at the park. it was unintentional, but somehow taeyong ended up directly under jaehyun and wow, their bodies were close.
