15 CHAPTER FIFTEEN

"What the fuck did we just fucking saw?" Wonwoo cursed, looking at both Jeonghan and Seungcheol, just staring at each other, speaking with their eyes.

"Is that even part of the plan?" Mingyu asked, but obviously that wasn't even a part of it. It was all real and natural. Jihoon thought as he saw the sight of them, eyes were still locked with each other.

"Did they just fucking kissed in front of us?!" Hansol almost shout but Seungkwan stopped him. Jeonghan's friends don't have such comments about what happen, they're all shocked, including Seokmin, Jihoon and Seungkwan, specially Jisoo.

Mr Lee came back, but Jeonghan and Seungcheol didn't even bother to pay attention with the teacher's presence.

What are you doing Seungcheol? - Jeonghan.

What are you doing to me, Jeonghan? - Seungcheol.

They're exchanging questions as if like they can read each other's minds.

"Mr Yoon, Mr Choi, are you gonna stare at each other forever?" Mr Lee caught their attention, Seungcheol immediately stood up and offered his hand to help Jeonghan up but Jeonghan calmly refused and stood up by himself.

"W-We're done, Mr Lee," Jeonghan said, lowering his head. "Okay then, you two can exit the gymnasium and change your clothes now," Mr Lee smiled, while Jeonghan and Seungcheol both bowed in front of him and both of them made their way outside of the gymnasium.

They were walking side by side. No one dared to talk. The only thing that can be heard was their footsteps.

Jeonghan can still feel Seungcheol's lips on his. He can still feel it. He took a glance on Seungcheol who's looking at the other direction while walking. He was probably shy because of what happened.

As they walk through the hallway, a cold breeze of wind welcomed the both of them. Mostly of the students right now are in their respective class, and it's only them who's walking in the hallway right now.

"J-Jeonghan.." Seungcheol called him out, Jeonghan slowly turned his gaze on Seungcheol. "I'm sorry," Seungcheol said and lowered down his head.

"I-It's okay," Jeonghan stuttered. He himself doesn't even know if that was the right answer for Seungcheol's apology. And at that very moment, Seungcheol grabbed Jeonghan's hand and both of them made their way inside their classroom.

-

Jisoo, Seokmin, Soonyoung and Jihoon were also done with their curl ups. Seokmin and Soonyoung were chatting in front of Jisoo and Jihoon, that's why Jihoon took this opportunity to ask Jisoo about what happened.

"Hey, you fine?" Jihoon asked, he's whispering so these two loud people in front of them won't hear them.

"O-Of course.. I was just shocked with what I saw," Jisoo tried not to crack his voice. He's hurt you know?

"At this state, we can clearly tell that there's a high possibility that both of them might fall." Jihoon stated, Jisoo just sighed because he himself knew, that there's really a high chance, even he knew Jeonghan as a straight person.

"I'll grab what I deserve and go," Jihoon smiled and he immediately runs and wrapped his arms to the tall man, Soonyoung. Jisoo was left with Seokmin who's now pouting because Soonyoung and him were still chatting but Jihoon dragged him away.

"Come on," Jisoo said and dragged his friend Seokmin away.

-

Areum walked out of the gymnasium with her friends, Nayun and Yena. The three of them went to the Ladies' Restroom and Areum wash up her face.

"What's the plan, Areum? Looks like the rain became a storm," Yena asked, pertaining to Jeonghan. They thought Jeonghan is just a rain as Yena says, but no, they realized he is a storm that is hard to defeat.

"Did you just saw what happened? Seungcheol kissed him in front of us." Nayun stated and looked at Yena, and back to Areum.

"My charm is still here. My seduction skills is also here. Trust me, I can get Seungcheol back," Areum said and fixed herself. She applied a make up on her face.

"Yeah right, just make sure of that. Because it looks like, Jeonghan is not that type of person you can just defeat." Yena said and that made Areum smirk. "I'm a bit challenged. Just wait and see," Areum smirked even more. Nayun and Yena also smirked, waiting for Areum's next actions.

Areum and her friends walked straight to the classroom, and they saw Seungcheol trying to get Jeonghan's attention, they look really like a couple you know?

"So what now, Areum? We're waiting for your next step." Nayun said, sounding sarcastic while looking at those two boys.

"Shut up, Nayun. You're not helping," Areum said and walked away from the two, "If you say so," Nayun said and shrugged Areum off. Yena plastically smiled. She's gonna laugh her ass off of Areum.

Areum glared at Jeonghan and Seungcheol's direction. She can't take this anymore further, but what is she gonna do?

-

Classes has ended, but Jeonghan's responsibility isn't. Seungkwan told him that they need to prepare for the upcoming Camping, Friday next week.

"Where are you going?" Seungcheol asked when Jeonghan was about to leave, heading to a different direction from the parking lot, "Student Council Office. We need to discuss something there," Jeonghan simply answered, he hoped that Seungcheol won't wait any more longer and he would left without him but he's wrong, "Alright, I'll wait for you outside the office." Seungcheol said.

Seungkwan, together with these two behind him headed to the Student Council Office.

When they reached the outside of the office, Jeonghan turned his head on Seungcheol, "You can wait here," Jeonghan said and Seungcheol followed his words.

Seungcheol waited there. While waiting, Jeonghan occupied his mind. Why am I even doing this shits? Seungcheol thought. No one made him follow their words like that, except Jeonghan. Maybe I'm doing this because of the deal. He thought once again, but suddenly, what he did earlier to Jeonghan came up to his mind. Why did I even did that? I'm straight damn it! He thought.

His mind and what his heart tells are contradicting. He can't even identify what his heart is telling him. All he did was something, he can't say that he didn't want.

It's frustrating him seriously. He's in between. Does he want it, or not?

Or perhaps? Seungcheol erased his thought. He will never, ever like Jeonghan. He doesn't, right? Or maybe he's only in denial. But that's too fast.

-

"Call Irene, Jihyo, and Suho, we need them here," Jeonghan ordered and Moonbin immediately followed. He called the three.

In just a few minutes, Irene, Suho and Jihyo entered the room, but with a confused look on their faces, "What is Seungcheol doing there outside?" Irene asked, Jeonghan couldn't answer but Moonbin did, "He's waiting for Jeonghan hyung."

"Is there something between you two?" Suho's turn to ask, but Jeonghan immediately denied, "No! Of course there's nothing between us! What are you saying?" He tried to chuckle.

"Why are you so defensive? Chill, dude," Suho said, trying to contain his laughter.

"Okay, so about the Camping and the Music Fest coming this month, Mrs Yoo already came up to me earlier before the classes end. By tomorrow, our homeroom teachers will announce about the upcoming Camping, Friday next week. We got one week to prepare, and the whole faculty is expecting us to be ready, specially us, Student Council Members, because we will also help them facilitate." Jeonghan started the discussion. The others are intently listening to him.

"Second, about the Music Fest. Since it's also a tribute for our retirement, the teachers asked us to prepare multiple performances. You can also have your own group if you want to." Jeonghan continued. All of them were too excited because they also have their own groups to perform with them and it would be really an amazing day for all of them.

"Jeonghan hyung and I will be performing with our team, the Vocal Team of Pledis University." Seungkwan said. They have been planning this, and now it's coming. Jihoon, Jisoo and Seokmin were also ready.

"Sure, I gotta perform with my friends, we're 12, geez." Suho stated and he suddenly felt the frustration of having 11 more people to discipline in times of practice.

"I gotta perform with Wendy, Seulgi, Joy and Yeri," Irene said.

"So, is this settled already?" Jeonghan chuckled and took a look on the papers on his desk. "Okay, you can prepare now for the Music Fest if you want. Let's just hope that this would turn successful!" Jeonghan cheered.

-

All of them left the office, as they all bid their goodbyes. Jeonghan tried to spot Seungcheol but he's nowhere to be found. "Did he left already?" Jeonghan mumbles to himself. He keeps on roaming around not until he heard a snore.

He went nearer where the sound of the snore is, and there, he saw Seungcheol lying on the bench. Such a sleepyhead, Jeonghan thought.

He bend his knees to level himself with Seungcheol. He stared at Seungcheol's features. It's all perfect. As if there are no any kind of flaws. "You're way too perfect, but your attitude sucks," Jeonghan mumbled, and he laughed. He rest his head on his arms that was now resting on his knees. He kept on staring.

He stared to caress Seungcheol's cheeks up to his hair. "You're too perfect. I wonder why Areum cheated on you, if she really did that."

He continued to stare not until he saw Seungcheol moving his eyes. He must have awaken. Seungcheol stretched his arms on the air making Jeonghan to move a bit.

"O-Oh, you're here.." Seungcheol paid attention on the guy in front of him. "I'm sorry, I fell asleep." Seungcheol immediately apologized and stood up. Jeonghan did the same.

"Let me take you home," Seungcheol said and he unknowingly held Jeonghan's hand. He's making it a habit now.

Jeonghan felt a sudden pump on his chest. Does his heart beats for him? He can't tell.

All he know is,

It's starting.
