"good morning everyone!" the woman greeted her students. "please, go back to your seat. i have something to announce." she said.
chenle rested his chin on his palm as he tries not to fall asleep. he's sleepy and his head is aching. he should've stayed at home. going to school is a bad idea. he grabbed the bottled coffee on the table, opened the cap, and took a sip. his seatmate noticed his actions, and she chuckled, "are you okay? you seem tired." the girl beside him asked.
"i'm good. i'm just sleepy." chenle replied. the girl nodded.
"are you guys ready?" their teacher asked, making the others get confused, ready for what? everyone inside the classroom nodded. the woman smiled widely, "okay, great! now let's meet your new classmate!" she said with a wide smile and cheerful voice. "you can come in now!" she yelled, the door opened, getting everyone's attention.
once the door is opened, the girls squealed, while the boys greeted the new student.
"good morning! introduce yourself."
chenle keeps his head rested on the table, he doesn't give a fuck to whoever the new student is. he wanted to sleep and he doesn't have time to greet the student. his seatmate tapped his shoulder, "hey chenle, look at him." the girl said. "i don't have time to meet him, i'm sleepy. let me take a rest." he replied sarcastically.
meanwhile, the tall male in the front smiled widely, "good morning everyone! i hope you guys are having a nice day." he said cheerfully.
wait, the voice sounds so familiar, very familiar. chenle looked up, and what the heck?
"i am jung sungchan! nice to meet you all!" sungchan said, he bowed while having a big smile on his lips. "i hope we can all be friends! please take care of me." he looked around the classroom, but his eyes widened when he saw... chenle?
"chenle!" he said, waving his hands and smiling widely at chenle. "it's nice to see you again!"
but the other male's reaction is the opposite, "what the fuck are you doing here?!" he yelled, he doesn't care if the teacher heard him, he just can't believe that sungchan.. is standing in front of him, and.. they're classmates. "why are you here?" he asked.
"to study, obviously!" sungchan replied, "ah, never mind," he looked at the teacher who was looking like she was uncomfortable with the two boys talking casually like they were the only two inside the classroom. "thank you so much, mrs. yoon!" he said, the woman smiled back at him, "okay.. you can take a seat now."
sungchan bowed once again before he walks into the fourth row, he saw some girls waving at him, so he waved back, making the girls squeal. finally, he reached his seat. he took the seat behind chenle, after sitting down, "chenle! i didn't know that you were here! what a coincidence!"
"yeah, it's nice meeting you too." the said boy replied coldly. yes, he is happy to meet sungchan again, but he is tired, he wanted to take a rest just for at least thirty minutes.
"why are you like that? are you not happy to meet me?" sungchan pouted.
"i am happy." chenle replied, resting his head on the table once again.
"you don't look like one."
"what do you want me to do? celebrate?"
"oh come on! at least greet me back, with a smile on your face!" the taller male whined. chenle didn't reply, making sungchan pout, "okay. sleep well, i guess."
jisung walked out of the classroom, he took out his phone from his pocket, and as he opened it, he frowned a little. there are still no messages from chenle. it's their lunchtime, maybe the older is busy eating his food and didn't even realize that he hasn't sent a message. jisung let out a sigh, he placed back the phone in his pocket, and he then continued walking.
maybe he should check the older in their classroom.
"yep. i should go and check him," he whispered to himself.
while walking, someone bumped into him, she's running and going in the same direction where jisung is going. the tall male was about to say sorry but the girl suddenly yelled, "gosh! can you please make way? you're blocking my way!" the girl said.
and jisung can't help but be irritated, "it's not my fault."
the girl raised her eyebrows, "what do you mean it's not your fault? you're blocking literally the way!"
"and you're not looking where you're going." jisung replied with a stern tone, "and you don't have the right to get mad at me. it's not my fault that you're dumb," he said before walking away. that girl is irritating him, he didn't even notice that he's almost in chenle's classroom.
jisung walked through the door, he peeked inside, there are only a few students inside, including chenle who is peacefully sleeping in his seat. but what caught jisung attention is the tall guy who's sitting beside chenle, his face is so close to the older and if someone saw them, they'll probably think that the two are kissing.
he clenched his fist tightly, as he tried to calm himself down.
"uhm.. hi. do you need anything?" a young man who's wearing glasses walked up to him, "are you.. looking for someone?" he asked with a smile. jisung smiled back, he took a deep breath before answering,
"yeah—" but before he can continue what he was about to say. a girl approached them, it was the same girl who bumped into jisung. the girl gave jisung a teasing smile before looking at the other young man, "me too, i am looking for someone." the girl smiled.
jisung glared at the girl, he wanted to choke the girl and slam her on the wall until she was out of her breath but no, he can't just do that because he's irritated. he might get suspended, or worst, the principal might kick him out of the school.
"oh.. do you guys know each other?" the small male asked.
"no—"
"yes! we know each other!" the girl said, teasing the taller male, she looked at jisung. "right?" but jisung rolled his eyes. he's trying his best to calm down but the girl is really irritating him.
"who are you guys looking for?" the other male asked.
"i am looking for chen—"
"is chenle sunbaenim inside? i just wanted to give him this." she showed the box of cookies that she was holding. jisung wanted to punch the girl but he can't. she keeps on interrupting jisung and she's also looking for chenle!
jisung took the box in the girl's hand, "you know what? get out of here. i can give this to him and tell him that it's from you. just please, get out." he said. he can't help it anymore.
"that's rude! and mind your own business!" the girl said, taking the box of cookies in jisung's hand before looking at the other boy, he nodded, and the girl went inside. and of course, jisung will not give up, so he entered the classroom without anyone's permission.
when he reached the older's seat. jisung pushed the girl aside, "get out." he said, he tried scaring the girl but she just rolled her eyes.
sungchan looked at the two teenagers fighting in front of him. he is confused, why are they fighting over chenle? he gulped before talking, "excuse me, you two?" the two of them looked at him, "can't you see that chenle is sleeping? and who the heck are you? why are you two here? just to fight?" he asked sarcastically.
"this guy is trying to stop me from giving chenle a gift! isn't that rude—"
"be quiet, you asshole!" jisung said.
"see! he even called me 'asshole'!" the girl said.
"shut up, both of you!" sungchan finally yelled. making chenle whimper in his sleep, seconds later, the said male opened his eyes, and he rubbed his eyes, trying to get used to the sunlight. he fixed his hair before yawning. when his eyes are fully opened, he looked up. but the funny thing is, he is looking at jisung, making the girl open her mouth slightly in disbelief.
chenle stood up, "jisung, what are you doing here?!"
"uh.. check up on you. you didn't send a message and i am worried that's why i checked up on you." jisung answered while smiling confidently. "and it's already lunchtime, would you like to have lunch with me?" he asked like he's asking chenle for a date.
"excuse me?" both sungchan and the girl said in sync.
chenle then looked at the girl. it's the same girl who gave him the cookies last night. chenle rolled his eyes, this girl is so annoying, she keeps on giving chenle food and gifts, almost every day, "uh.. look... i.. uh.. i appreciate your gifts but.. can you please stop..? it's making me uncomfortable, and i will never like you. i'm so sorry. but.. yeah." he finally said.
the girl frowned, "am i annoying—"
"yes you are, now get out. you heard him right? he doesn't like you." jisung said to the girl while having a teasing smile, "plus you're dumb, how will this precious angel will like you?" he looked at chenle before looking back at the girl.
"get out." he said with a stern tone while glaring at the girl. she was about to complain but she looked at chenle and sungchan who were also glaring at him. "get out, loser." sungchan said.
finally. the girl finally went out of the room with a frown on her face.
but to be honest, chenle doesn't want to hurt the girl's feelings, but she's so annoying!
jisung then smiled, "what about now? do you want to eat lunch with me?" he asked once again.
chenle was about to nod but sungchan said something that made jisung's blood boil.
"i'm sorry but my boyfriend is not available." sungchan said while smiling widely.
