No one can guess how much a small kitten could change someone's life. This small kitten changed Jungwoo's life in many ways. Some where good, some where bad. Just like this case.
Jungwoo walked back from saying goodbye to his new kitten friend. Donghyuck and Lucas already left for class so the latter was left to get his books by himself. He was too busy thinking of nicknames he could call the cat to notice the tiny crowd around his locker, something he wished he would've noticed sooner. Diamond? Star?.. Chicken? Nah, that's ridiculous. He thought, keeping his head down. Something cute..
Jungwoo kept looking down and his cheeks were puffed out cutely while he was deep in thought, until he heard a sudden "shit!" followed by the sound of scattering feet. The latter looked up, but he wished he didn't. He didn't see much of who was in the small crowd but all he remembered was flaming red hair and two people with a significant height difference. "H-Hey!" Jungwoo shyly called out, quickly approaching the corner to try and see who there was. However, they were gone. The latter sighed and rubbed the back of his neck as he turned to his locker. It was closed, and Jungwoo did remember him leaving it open since he was distracted by the small kitten.
He walked over, heaving a little sigh and pouting at the unknown commotion that was going on. Of course, he was scared that something bad was about to happen, but he was also still super soft from the kitten. Jungwoo entered his code and pulled the lock down so it opened. He pulled open his locker but jumped back, softly gasping as he saw something long and plastic hanging off of the inside of the locker door. He covered his mouth with one of his hands to keep back any noises. In front of him was a dildo, stuck onto the inside of his locker. And to make it worse, there was a photo of Lucas beneath it, just of his face, puckering his lips. It was an old photo cause Lucas's hair was lighter now.
Jungwoo slammed his locker shut with one hand, his other still firmly placed over his mouth. The only good thing was that there was no one laughing at him.
"Wh-What the..fuck.." Jungwoo mumbled into his hand as his eyes prickled with tears. "What the fuck!" He said louder. He stepped back from his locker. He couldn't open it now. He caught attention of the little students coming down the hall and the dildo could be seen from ages away. It was a sex toy in a school, after all.
Jungwoo didn't even realise he wasn't breathing until he felt nauseous. He inhaled sharply and shakily, making it sound like he gasped again. It didn't take long before tears spilt from his eyes. Jungwoo got out his phone and texted the only person he knew he could count on.
Jungwoo:
donghyuck
Jungwoo:
donghyuck what class are you in?
Donghyuck:
english with mr.grumpy pants
Donghyuck:
im sorry id love to talk but hes
gonna take my phone off of me
Donghyuck:
talk at lunch, k?
Jungwoo frowned more and more tears spilt. The one person he trusted couldn't even talk. In a panic for someone, anyone, to come help him, he also texted Kun and Doyoung. No response. Of course not... Jungwoo didn't have many friends, even though he was the nicest person in the whole school, and he was desperate for someone to be there. So, he texted the one person he had left.
Jungwoo:
what class are you in?
Lucas:
science. why?
Jungwoo:
what classroom?
Lucas:
1.12
Lucas:
why are you asking?
Jungwoo didn't reply anymore. He slid his phone into his pocket as the back of his opposite hand dragged against his closed eyes, wiping away his tears. The young male wrapped his hands around his own waist and gripped to the sides of his shirt while he walked down the hallway. He fought back more tears since he didn't want to endure any teasing from passing students.

Lucas furrowed his eyebrows when Jungwoo didn't answer back. It was strange, he thought, but he didn't question Jungwoo anymore when the teacher came in and he slid the phone under his pencil case. He pulled out his earbuds, only for his chair to be kicked and for him to be snickered at. Lucas turned around to face whoever was behind him as his eyebrows furrowed.
"Taeyong, can you s-"
"Your lover boy is at the door." Mark interrupted as he rolled his eyes.
Lucas raised his eyebrow at Mark before they furrowed again. "The fuck are you talking about?" He asked, just above a whisper. Unfortunately it was a bit too loud.
"Mr. Wong please be quiet and face the front." The teacher called out.
Lucas scoffed and turned back around, earning another kick on his seat. He crossed his arms over his chest and ignored it. A few seconds past and there was a knock on the door, causing all students and the teacher to look over.
The teacher sighed. "Stay in your seats and get out your textbook." She instructed before going to the door and opening it.
All Lucas could see was the teacher speaking to a figure hidden behind the door, and only seconds later, his eyes met with the teacher's. "Mr.Wong, you are needed and are excused." She said as she strolled back to her seat to start the class.
Lucas slowly nodded but got up nonetheless, who wants to do work anyways? He grabbed his phone again to put it in his pocket while he was walking to the door. As he got closer, he could start to make out the figure through the small window. It was Jungwoo. He fastened a little when realising he was in distress. Lucas's hand grabbed the handle of the brown sliding door, pulling it back just enough for him to exit. He closed it again and looked at the older male in front of him. He was definitely in distress. Jungwoo had his hands on his waists, his fingers were fidgeting and trying to grip as much material as he could and his eyes were puffy while tears ran down his cheeks. It was a wonder how the teacher didn't try to help him.
"Jungwoo? What's wrong?" Lucas asked as he shifted away from the door and so did Jungwoo.
"I-I.. They put.." Jungwoo choked on his words as he had trouble to speak. He covered his mouth when he coughed, yeah he literally choked.
Lucas sighed and moved forward as he moved his hand behind the male's back, rubbing small circles on his back. "It's ok, Jungwoo." He said softly. Once Jungwoo stopped coughing, he cried instead and his hands slowly moved off of his own waist then around Lucas's. He didn't care who it was anymore, he just clung onto Lucas and poured out his emotions in tears.
Lucas's eyes widened but he didn't hesitate as he hugged back. His hand slid behind Jungwoo's head and gently directed it to his chest, which Jungwoo gladly nuzzled into.
It took a few minutes before Jungwoo was calm enough to even talk. One of his hands detached from the younger's hoodie and reached up to his own face. The back of his hand gently rubbed across his eyes before rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"Donghyuck would kill me if he saw us right now." Jungwoo mumbled, although his hand moved back around Lucas's waist so he could stay cuddled up.
"What?" Lucas asked, raising an eyebrow. "Why?"
"C-Cause.. Cause he always wants me to go to him."
"Then why didn't you?"
Jungwoo paused for a second. He sniffled then tilted his head up to look at the younger. "He said he had a bad teacher. The teacher doesn't like me or him.." He said softly, almost like a whisper.
"Oh.. Alright." Lucas nodded. His hands slowly detached from Jungwoo's body and he started to move back.
"N-No!" Jungwoo said with a small whimper. He moved closer again, pressing his forehead to Lucas's chest. "Just.. A bit longer, please. I- I need someone.."
Lucas's teeth dug down onto his lip but he nodded. He wrapped his arms back around the elder and rested his chin on his head. The two stood there, embracing each other in a tight hug, enjoying each others warm touch.
