youngjae has been waiting for his call. he has but it never comes. why isn't jaebum calling him like he promised to? did he regret what had happened between them? no. he had seemed to have enjoyed it. the younger can't help but be nervous about it and in class, he can't think about anything else.

"that's it for today. see you tomorrow!" his teacher exclaims.

he sighs and starts putting his stuff back in his bag. he stands up and is about to leave the classroom when his teacher stops him.

"youngjae, can i talk to you for a moment?" she asks him with a gentle tone.

"yes, ma'am."

he goes back to her desk on which she's sitting with her arms crossed. she looks at him and he gulps, the look in her eyes making him feel uneasy.

"did something happen recently?" she inquires with a worried tone.

"o-oh.. no, everything's fine. why-why do you ask?" he tries to smile but he's not sure it's a success.

"you seemed a bit distracted today and usually, you're more active in class so i was worried," she replies.

"i'm just tired. but thank you for worrying," he politely bows to her.

"you know you can tell me everything, right? you're one of my favorite student so i want you to be healthy and happy."

"yes, it's really nothing. if something ever happens, i will tell you."

she nods with a smile and lets him go. he smiles at her and leaves the room. youngjae sighs as soon as he closes the door and mumbles under his breath.

"fucking hell."

he runs a hand through his hair and starts walking out. in the hallway, he bumps into yugyeom who looks really really happy.

"hyung! i was looking for you!" the tall boy says, rummaging through his bag.

"what is it?" youngjae asks, a smile appearing on his face.

"look!"

yugyeom shows him an assignment. when youngjae looks closely, it's an assignment for his songwriting class.

"i got an a! thanks to you," yugyeom smiles, his eyes forming moon crescents.

"that's great, gyeomie! how did you write the rest of the song?" he asks as yugyeom starts bouncing up and down in happiness.

"on my own! aren't i great hyung?" he says, fishing for compliments.

youngjae chuckles and gives him a pat on the back while saying,

"you are, you are."

yugyeom smiles widely, hugs him and waves goodbye at him, walking away with light steps.

"he's cute," youngjae whispers, shaking his head.

he then gets out of the school building and throws the hood of his sweatshirt over his head, starting to walk.

"did you miss me?" a voice he can recognize easily calls him.

he looks up and sees jaebum leaning against his car. youngjae scoffs and gets closer but not too close because he's a bit mad at his boyfriend... it's weird for him to be able to say it.

"hey," he greets, shoving his hands into his pockets.

"is something wrong?" jaebum immediately asks, worried.

"everything's fine. really. it's not like i'd been waiting for a call which never came," he mumbles, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

jaebum's eyes widen a bit before he chuckles a bit and grabs youngjae by his hips, pulling him close. the younger whines in annoyance as jaebum looks at him with a smirk.

"are you mad at me, baby?" he asks, tone a bit playful.

"don't call me baby, i don't want to talk to you," youngjae replies halfheartedly as he unwillingly relaxes into jaebum's hold.

"i'm sorry i didn't call you. i was busy with my job and classes but i can assure that all i could think about was you. you and your gorgeous smile. you and your pretty pink lips..." jaebum whispers softly, thumb gently swiping his bottom lip.

the younger feels his face heat up at his words. he can't believe he caves in so easily but the older has a strong effect on him.

"please don't be mad at me," jaebum gently pecks him on the lips once. "i don't like it," twice. "i'm sorry about that." thrice.

and youngjae can't help but crack a smile. he pouts and hits jaebum's chest but it's too light to be considered a punch. jaebum just laughs and hugs him, burying his face into the crook of youngjae's neck. the latter closes his eyes, inhaling his boyfriend's scent.

"we can do everything you want. i want you to forgive me," jaebum whispers against his neck, tickling him a bit.

"deal. but let's stay like this a bit longer," the younger wraps his arm around jaebum's neck.

"that's totally fine by me."

and youngjae laughs loudly as jaebum picks him up and spins him around. but what the couple doesn't know is that somewhere near, someone is watching their every move with careful eyes.
