[A/N: I'm so excited for the concept photos later omg. Drop your current bias here and comeback after seeing the photos and tell me who your bias is after seeing the photos]
One week later, two days before their tour. Wednesday.
Sunghoon is heading to the cafeteria alone. Heeseung was supposed to pick him up in the classroom but the younger refused. Yes, you're right. They're still not okay.
Those past few days, a lot of girls are flirting with Heeseung even though Heeseung would always move away and say that he has a boyfriend. Heeseung's girl classmates are way too flirty and doesn't believe that he have a boyfriend, they thought it was just an excuse.
Sunghoon and Heeseung had a mini argument, their friends doesn't know about it. They've been sleeping separately for a while now, actually, their friends noticed that last night.
Sunghoon doesn't want to make it a big deal but the girls are crossing the line. They're always touchy with Heeseung even though his face shows that he's uncomfortable. One of the girls even kissed Heeseung's cheek. Sunghoon didn't saw that but Heeseung told him. The oldest would always update him.
"Sunghoon!" A voice yelled when Sunghoon entered the cafeteria. He roamed his eyes around and saw Jay waving. He's with the other boys already. He looked at them while walking towards their table.
"Where's Engene?" Sunghoon asked as soon as he sat down. Heeseung's brows furrowed after hearing Sunghoon's question.
"Why? You like him now?" Jay asked. It was a joke but Heeseung secretly glared at him.
"No, I love someone already" Sunghoon said and glanced at Heeseung. The oldest looked away when their eyes met, hiding his red cheeks.
"So where is he? I don't see him around" Sunghoon immediately changed the topic.
"I actually don't know, ask Jake"
"Well, I don't know as well. He just told me earlier not to wait for him, I'm starting to get worried coz he's still not here" Jake said, obviously worried.
"Should we look for Engene hyung?" Ni-ki asked.
"Yeah, I think we should do that" Sunghoon agreed.
"No, you're staying here. You haven't eaten anything yet" Heeseung interrupted.
"I can eat la-"
"Park Sunghoon"
"Yeah, I said I'll stay" Sunghoon immediately agreed, kinda scared of Heeseung. He knows that when the oldest called him by his full name, he's freaking serious and about to get mad so it's better to stay.
Jay and the others just laughed at their cute argument.
"Ni-ki and Sunoo, can you two help me find Engene?" Jake asked. Ni-ki and Sunoo nodded, they can't say 'no' to Jake.
"I'll go to the classroom and garden. Sunoo, please go to the library while you Ni-ki, please go to the music room" Jake said, his tone and eyes full of worries.
"Yes, hyung. Let's go, we still have a lot of time"
The three went out and separated their ways. Heeseung, Sunghoon, Jay and Jungwon are left in the cafeteria. Jay and Jungwon felt a bit awkward coz Heeseung and Sunghoon aren't like this. They normally talk and cling to each other whenever they are together. They can sense that the two has a problem. However, no one dared to ask. They're just waiting for Heeseung and Sunghoon to open up.
"Baby, should we leave them?" Jay whispered, leaning to Jungwon's shoulder.
"Yeah, I think we should so they could talk" Jungwon said. Jungwon cleared his throat a bit before speaking up.
"U-uhm.. Heeseung hyung and Sunghoon hyung, we'll go now" Jungwon said as he stood up, pulling Jay to make him stand up as well.
"Yeah, see you later at the dorm" Heeseung replied. Sunghoon just waved at them and continued eating silently.
"Hey, I'm going to the bathroom. Don't leave and wait for me here" Heeseung said and stood up. Sunghoon just glanced at him and nodded.
"Here's your water" Heeseung placed a bottled water in the table before leaving. Sunghoon took the water bottle, it has a sticky note on it. He looked at the letter and smiled.
"Stay hydrated, babe. I love you, I miss you :("
He drank the water and wrote something on the sticky note. He wants to go back to the classroom but also wants to wait for Heeseung so he did.
After a few minutes, Heeseung came back. Sunghoon got confused when he saw Heeseung panting a little bit. He handed the water bottle earlier and let the oldest drink it.
"What took you so long?" Sunghoon asked, brows furrowed.
"Another girl followed me. She said she wants to be friends with me but I declined" Heeseung said after drinking the water.
"Why did you declined?"
"Coz I don't want to be friends with her. She's like the other girls"
"Oh well, good decision, then. By the way, I'll go to the classroom now"
"Wait, Hoon. Can I bring you there?"
"Yeah, sure" Sunghoon shrugged, walking away. Heeseung quickly followed him and stay beside him.
They're both quiet on their way to Sunghoon's classroom. When they reached the classroom, Sunghoon faced Heeseung and put the sticky note on his forehead. The younger leaned closer and whispered something on Heeseung's ear.
"Don't let the girls touch you again, tell me if they do and I'll talk to them"
"Y-yes, noted"
"Hmm, I'll go inside now. I love you" Sunghoon pecked Heeseung's cheeks and quickly went inside the classroom.
Heeseung is still dumbfounded. He removed the sticky note from his forehead and read the letter on it.
"Stay hydrated as well. I love you too, I miss you too. Let's talk later :)"
Heeseung smiled when he saw what's in it. He happily walked towards their classroom. He didn't mind the girls that's calling him. He's just staring at the note and making himself happy at the thought that him and Sunghoon will be fine soon.
Jake almost searched for Engene in the whole entire campus. He was about to give up when he saw Engene being pulled at the back of the school. Jake quickly and quietly followed them.
Jake didn't noticed Sunoo and Ni-ki following him as well. When the two noticed that Engene was with the bullies, they immediately went back inside to call a teacher.
"I told you to stay away from Jake, right?" The girl asked. It's Choi Jina. She's with the other bullies. There's two guys standing on the corner, they're with Jina.
"Y-yes" Engene answered with a shaky voice, scared that he'll get beaten up again.
"Then what did you do?! Did you follow me?! You keep on hanging out with him! I told you, he's mine!"
"How can I do that when I love him?! You think it's easy?!" Engene exploded and shouted back. He regretted it immediately.
"You're talking back now, huh? Boys, beat this ugly thing up!" Jina said. One of the boys walked closer to Engene and gave him a punch on the face.
Jake was about to rescue Engene but someone pulled him, stopping him. It was Ni-ki.
"Let the teacher handle them, hyung"
"But, Engene-"
"Don't worry" Sunoo said. A teacher followed them and shouted.
"Hey! Stop that!" It was Mr. Kim Taehyung. He's scary as hell when he's mad. He's with Mr. Min Yoongi.
Jake's eyes widened when one of the boys covered Engene's nose with a handkerchief. Engene fainted because of the smell, leaving him on the ground. The two teachers got the students and pulled them away while Jake ran towards Engene and carried him.
"I'll go to the clinic, follow Mr. Kim and Mr. Min" Jake said. Sunoo and Ni-ki nodded. The two of them followed the teachers and bullies inside the office.
Jake ran as fast as he can. He arrived in the clinic in just a minute. He laid Engene down on the clinic bed while the nurse is checking Engene.
"Will he be okay?" Jake asked, obviously so worried.
"He will, don't worry. He'll wake up after a few hours, he fainted. Would you like to stay with him?"
"Yes, I want to"
"Okay, then. I'll tell this to your teacher. What grade are you in?"
"12. Please tell this to Mr. Kim Taehyung and Mr. Min Yoongi, they're in the office" Jake said politely. The nurse nodded and went out of the room, leaving Jake and Engene inside the clinic.
Jake's face softened when he saw a bruise on Engene's arm and a scratch on his lips. Maybe it's because of the punch the boy gave him. Seeing Engene like this makes Jake mad. He wanted to talk to those bullies but he's afraid he might do or say something wrong.
Jake sat on the chair beside the bed. He quietly held Engene's hand and stared at him. There's one question in Jake's head that startled him.
Do I like him already?
Jake thought. He shrugged it off and focused on Engene.
Five minutes later, Jake heard a knock on the door. He didn't bother to open coz he's busy staring at Engene. When Jake heard the door opened, he looked behind and saw Mr. Kim Taehyung.
"Oh, hi Mr. Kim" Jake stood up and lowered his head to give respect. Jake is standing up but he's still holding Engene's hand.
"Hmm, hello. How is he?" Mr. Kim asked as he walked towards the two student.
"He's good, he fainted but he'll wake up later" Jake answered, his voice full of respect.
"That's good. I'll let you stay here with him"
"Thank you so much, Mr. Kim. Anyways, what will happen to those bullies?"
"The four girls are suspended while the two boys... Well, the principal wants to expell them, they've done a lot of bad things inside the school already"
"Isn't that too much? I mean, the expell thing"
"No, it's not. They always cause trouble, one of the students before committed suicide because of them"
"O-oh.."
"By the way, I'll go now since the class is about to start. Just call me if you have any problems"
"Yes, Mr. Kim. Thank you soooo much and I also want to thank Mr. Min Yoongi"
"Yeah, anytime!" Mr. Kim Taehyung said and waved at Jake before closing the door.
Jake sighed and sat at the bed, holding Engene's hand tightly.
"Yah, Engene, wake up already. It's just hours that I haven't heard your voice but I miss you already" Jake said while caressing Engene's hand.
"Come on, Engene, wake up. The nurse said you're fine but I'm still worried" Jake added. He didn't get a response coz Engene is still sleeping. The thing he smelled earlier was too strong so it'll affect him more.
"I guess I have to wait for you *sigh* but please wake up soon, my Engene" Jake said softly and planted a kiss on Engene's forehead. He sat at the chair again and put his head on the bed to take a nap while waiting for Engene.
Author's note:
