jisung turned around on his bed, facing his best friend's bed.

chenle was fast asleep, his face squished against his pillow, one of his arms hanging from the edge of the bed, and soft snores leaving his opened mouth.

he looked incredibly cute like that.

jisung couldn't stop thinking about what sungchan had told him during the afternoon.

chenle and shotaro had hung out together, leaving the two other halves by themselves. and this led to interesting and sensible conversations.

you like chenle, jisung, it's obvious. you have to tell him. we all know that everything will get better when you'll have told him how you feel.

jisung completely agreed with what sungchan had told him.

he needed to tell his best friend.

he couldn't live like that, seeing chenle getting closer and closer with other boys.

sure, shotaro had feelings for sungchan, but there could be other boys.

jisung didn't want to see chenle liking other boys.

he wanted to be the only one.

but did chenle even like him...?

jisung, chenle likes you back. i'm sure of it. he's your best friend, and he could be so much more. you just have to do one little step. and that is voicing out your feelings to him.

jisung sighed, sunghcan's words repeating over and over in his mind.

he was right. he had to confess.

not only it would relieve him, but also, chenle could actually have feelings for him.

"chenle?" jisung spoke quite surprised when he saw the chinese boy standing up from his bed.

jisung waited for an answer, never receiving one.

he looked at chenle walking slowly towards his desk.

he pulled the chair and took a sit on it under jisung's stare.

"huh... chenle, what are you doing?" jisung asked.

"i am sitting..." chenle replied in a sleepy and inhuman voice.

jisung furrowed his brows.

was chenle sleepwalking?

he didn't seem to be fully awake, and yet, his eyes were open.

that was strange.

"don't you think you should go back to bed?" jisung told.

"yeah."

with that said, the chinese boy stood up again, and he took slow steps towards the bed.

however, instead of going to his own, he plopped onto jisung's bed, right next to the younger.

"c-chenle?" jisung spoke. "this is my bed..."

"mine..." chenle replied as he placed his head on jisung's arm and cuddled into jisung's side.

jisung tried to cotrol his heartbeat, not wanting it to wake the cute chinese up.

and so, he fell asleep with chenle cuddled into him.

he really needed to confess.

𝓗

"go place it back, i'll keep the door."

renjun nodded giving a last glance at jeno before tightening his grip on the elder wand and entering the corridor bringing to the deathly hollows room.

renjun was bringing the wand back, and as promised, he had asked jeno to help him with it.

jeno and him had both met outside, and they had walked to the limit of the forbidden forest where renjun's father had brought the wand back.

the two boys had sneaked into the school and opened the third floor's door, and now jeno was waiting for renjun outside, making sure that no one was approaching.

"what the heck is he doing...?" he asked out loud, looking at the time on his phone.

renjun had entered the corridor five minutes ago, which was a huge amont of time considering he just needed to put the wand back.

jeno decided to go and see by himself.

he checked his surroundings one last time before entering the corridor and closing the door behind him.

he walked carefully, taking his wand out to fight back if anything happened.

he was surprised to see two persons when he pushed the door of the room open.

"here you are."

jeno stared at jaemin with confused eyes, and then looked at renjun whose wand was in jaemin's hand.

"j-jaemin? what are you doing here?" jeno stuttered.

"i return the question, jeno. what are you doing here?"

jeno didn't answer.

he kept his mouth shut, glancing at renjun from time to time.

"so, you are the wand stealers." jaemin stated.

"jeno didn't do anything. it was me." renjun spoke, tensing when jaemin pointed his wand in his direction.

"it seems that the two of you are involved in this mess."

"we did it because we had to." jeno said, tightening his grip on his wand.

"because you had to?" jaemin raised a brow. "why would you have to steal the wand?"

jeno looked at renjun to make sure it was okay to tell.

everything they were talking about was renjun's business.

jeno didn't want to overshare his problems if he was against it.

"to heal my mother." renjun mumbled.

"what?"

"my mother has a lung cancer. nothing muggles do can heal her. i needed magic." renjun said a bit louder.

jaemin let out a chuckle before looking at jeno deep in the eye.

"muggles can't do anything right, can they?"

jeno's jaw tightened, and he would have thrown jaemin a spell if it wasn't for jaemin yelling "expeliarmus" before jeno could act.

"so, what will i tell the teachers?" jaemin played with the boys' wands as a smirk appeard on his face.

"you wouldn't do that..." renjun let out, his eyes filling with tears.

"my family would be proud to know i found who stole the elder wand... the teachers too." jaemin spoke.

"jaemin, you can't!" jeno exclaimed. "renjun did that to save his mother!"

jaemin raised a brow, chuckling again.

"you understand nothing, don't you?"

jeno and renjun looked at the boy confusedly. jaemin truly was a sick man.

"if the director learns that a muggle stole the elder wand, all muggles will get fired of hogwarts, and everything will be as us wizards like."

renjun gasped at jaemin's words, immediately understanding what he meant.

"jaemin, you can't do that."

"watch me."

"please, jaemin." renjun spoke, dropping on his knees in front of the pure blood. "i beg you."

jaemin looked at renjun in the eyes, seeing his teary orbs made him feel guilty.

"how can you be this attached to a muggle...?" he mumbled, giving a glance at jeno who was confused by this whole conversation.

"jaemin, who you come from doesn't define who you are." renjun tried reasoning the boy.

"it does. mostly if you're a mugblood."

renjun turned towards jeno to look at him.

"i'll do anything." he said, looking back at jaemin.

"what?" the pure blood raised a brow.

"don't tell anyone about me stealing the wand and jeno helping me. and i'll do anything you want in return."

a wide smirk decorated jaemin's face, and for a second, renjun regretted saying this.

"anything i want?" he asked.

"yeah, anything..."

jaemin nodded.

"stop hanging out together. from now on, renjun sticks with me."
