Lee Jeno,

Hey Blue Boy, you're still trying to guess who I am? Well let me help you...I'm not Jihoon, Joongki, or Jungsik. I hope that helps you, but I'm still not revealing myself just yet ;)
I hope you do well on your history project! I'm sure you'll do great~

Don't be afraid to cry~ I'll always be here to make you smile~

Signed, ºRed Boyº

"I feel like I'm being dumb. Like I should know who it is but I don't..." Jeno says, questioningly looking at the letter.

"I mean, maybe that's their plan. He wants to keep you guessing, but still not know...or something...I'm not sure." Jaemin responds. "Now help me with this research, I didn't invite you over to eat my pocky at stare at your love letter Nono."

"I know I know. Now hand over the computer, you type too slow."

"You can't type any faster old man." The younger grumbles, but gives his friend the laptop anyways.

Just to spite Jaemin, Jeno runs his fingers over the keys as quick as he can. The clicking of the keyboard is all that can be heard in the small living room. Jaemin continues to look at the instructions, gently correcting Jeno every now and then while they continue with their research. They were both grateful to their teacher for giving them a well-known dynasty; it made their research much easier.

"No no no, it lasted till 1912, not 1915. You know how Mrs. Won is about dates." Jaemin quickly snatches the computer to retype the number. Jeno rolls his eyes, and waits for the pink haired boy to finish before taking the computer back.

"Ok, now who was the first emperor again?"

"Emperor Kangxi, he ruled from 1654 to 1722. He enacted policies that were favorable to farmers and stopped land seizures. He was known for his several cultural leaps as he ruled. He oversaw the creation of the dictionary for the Han Language and funded extensive map surveys."

Jeno nods along, and types as fast as he can, still trying to make everything orderly. Jaemin pauses every now and then so Jeno can type without getting stressed.

"Damn this is so complicated." Jeno groans, leaning back into the couch.

"This is only the research, we still have to make a slideshow, and prepare our presentation speech."

"Fuck that man.."

"I am not failing because of your lazy ass Lee Jeno." Jaemin glares playfully, Jeno just sticks out his tongue.

"Yeah yeah, ok. Now, what else do we need to do?"

Jaemin and Jeno continue to get as much research as they can do, and eventually Jeno just decides to sleep over at Jaemin's house; it was too late and dark out to go home anyways.

~*1 week or so later because time*~

"Alright, I am going to come around to each group to see how you all are doing. We only have a week left for this trimester, which means only a week left for you all to work. I really hope that all your research as done last week, so now all you have to do is put it together and prepare to present." Mrs. Won smiles to her students. Most just roll their eyes.

Jeno gives a breath of relief when Mrs. Won says that he and Jaemin are on a good schedule, he really didn't want to spend more nights awake till done trying to work. Jaemin pats his back comfortingly. "Just have to design the slideshow, and that's always the fun part."

"Yeah..."

"What's wrong?"

"I really just want to know who the letter person is. It's driving me insane Nana." Jeno groans and puts his head on the desk.

Jaemin laughs and glances around nervously. I really wasn't planning on telling him till next trimester...

"Plus the end of the trimester is almost here and I still have no clue...like it's been 3 and a half months..."

"Mhm." Shit shit shit...

"Well, I'll just keep guessing and waiting for his letters. Anyways, let's just try and get this presentation done. I'm really ready for it to end." Jeno chuckles and takes out his computer to start working. Jaemin nods silently; he's a bit more anxious now.

Should I confess? Or do I wait...Ugh this is so confusing...

Jaemin smiles down at his phone, laughing quietly. Through Donghyuk's sassy and blunt behavior, you can find a caring and hilarious friend. He was always there for Jaemin, even when they didn't really talk. Jaemin was grateful to have a friend like Donghyuk; the older boy gave him confidence to do things he never would have risked...like thinking about confessing to Jeno even when he knows that the boy doesn't like him back. He made that clear a long time ago.

Jaemin sighs and locks his phone after putting on a podcast. He pulled the blanket up to his chin and fell asleep, his dreams filled with a certain boy.
