Chapter twenty-nine

♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

It was Sunday and the boys had already eaten and were ready to go to school. 

"You guys go, I have to take out one of my friends," Minho says to which the other two nod and leave their apartment after a quick goodbye. 

"Oh, Lix, I think I forgot my phone in the kitchen. Be right back," Jisung says just as they were about to leave the elevator. 

"Okay, I'll be waiting outside then. You can leave your suitcase with me."

As the elevator opens Jisung's met with Minho and his suitcase. And in his hand,  "My phone! Thanks, Minmin," Jisung yells taking his phone out of Minho's hand and giving him a fast small hug.

"You're welcome. I saw it on the kitchen table and figured you forgot it."

They both enter the elevator and Minho's eyes never leave Jisung. 

"What's up?"

"I was just thinking of something," Minho says, "I really want to be in the same cottage as you."

"How so?"

"I don't think I trust the other students in our year enough to sleep five nights in the same room as you," Minho explains. The two had had eye contact the whole time and Jisung couldn't break it.

"You know you shouldn't be afraid of that right? There's no way I'd cheat on my mate. Especially if he looks the way you do," Jisung answers swallowing, still not breaking the eye contact and making Minho's cheeks redden a little.

"It's not you who I don't trust, it's them."

"I think the chance that they'd be able to rape a werewolf is really small. And if I couldn't protect myself enough fe- Never mind," Jisung continues after seeing Minho's eyes drift off from his own eyes. Oh my gosh, how can I resist that stupid face of yours?

Jisung leans in and up a bit and connects their lips while putting his arms around Minho's neck. Minho was waiting for this to happen for way too long so he didn't lose a second and put his arms around Jisung's waist and leaned down deepening the kiss. Then the lights fell out. 

Jisung turns his face bringing Minho to clash his lips onto his cheeks. Jisung laughs at this, still having a curved back since Minho was still leaning down. "Someone's needy," Jisung laughs.

Minho abruptly stands right up, due to which Jisung almost falls backwards. "I'm not," Minho states clicking on the button for the ground floor. "Hahaha, you're so adorable sometimes, Minho, did you know?"

"No one calls me 'adorable'. I'm not." Jisung goes to stand before Minho. 

"You're adorable for me," he says, smiling sweetly. Minho didn't dare to make eye contact because he knew he'd crumble if he did so, so he kept staring at the wall behind Jisung.

Jisung stood on his tippy-toe and kissed Minho on the cheek, "Bye, cutie," Jisung told him still smiling sweetly as the doors of the elevator opened.

Minho rested his head on the wall behind himself groaning. How did that little squirrel-like-werewolf ever make me this soft?  He got up quickly holding the door before it closed and walked to the apartment's garage to get his car.

"Please be quiet, everyone, and listen carefully if you hear your name!"

The teacher's voice reverberates over the parking lot. They were going to divide all the first-year students into a couple of buses with which they would get to the camping area where they would be spending the next week. 

Soon everyone had taken place in one of the dozen busses and they were off to a week promised to be full of fun team activities and more.

They had arrived late due to a traffic jam, so the teachers decided to let the students have their dinner as soon as they got to the camp. 

"All eyes on me please!" A quite young man yells over all the talking in the dining room, "Your principal had sent me a list of the names of the people who'd be sharing a cottage and wanted me to share this info with you since he couldn't attend and he didn't trust the teacher's to not mess up the list to fuck some of their students on purpose," all the students started laughing once they heard what the man had told. Someone whispered something in his ear after which he continued.

"Apparently I was supposed to articulate that differently, my bad," the man continues, irony clearly audible in his voice, "Anyways, my name is Eric, nice to meet you I guess? I'm your camp leader, so if there's any kind of problem please communicate with me before you go running to one of your teachers as a lost helpless puppy, thank you." 

"I already love this man," Jisung whispers to Felix. "Look at everyone's faces, I think everyone's in love with his sass," he laughs. 

"I expect everyone to come up front once I call your name. Okay? Okay. Oh, and before I forget it, the principal especially asked me to tell you that the groups are made to mix the different classes, so you won't end up in a cottage with anyone out of your class. I'll start with the list of the male groups and then the female ones, is everyone okay with that? Great." and the man started to call names one by one. 

Felix looked at Jisung extravagantly pouting, "So there's no chance I'll get paired with my bestie," he pouts.

Jisung laughed at this and hugged Felix just then they both looked up at the same moment. His name was called.

"Already?" Felix says again pouting, "You had to be in the first group, hadn't you?"

"Then this is goodbye, my dearest friend. Don't forget about me once you've met your new roommates," Jisung says while standing up. They both stretched their hands out as if they were trying to hold each other's. Some people were laughing at this dramatic exchange and so did Jisung once he had turned his back to Felix.

He wasn't listening when Eric had called the other names so he was met with a small surprise once he looked up front. "Glad to know I don't have to spend these nights with total strangers."

"Luck, isn't it?" the boy standing the most in front of the two says while going in for a hug. 

"Definitely, Jun," Jisung answers 

"The other dude already went down the hallway once your name was called and he has the keys so we better follow quickly or we won't be able to find our cottage," Heeseung says. 

They run out of the building and see a figure walking just a couple of meters away from them.

"Wait," Jisung says abruptly coming to a halt due to which the other two stopped too.

"'sup?" Yeonjun asks.

"Our roommate is Minho?"

"Yeah," Heeseung answers, "Do you know him?"

"Yeah, we're roomies, together with Lix." 

"Really?" Yeonjun asks in disbelief, "What a coincidence!"

Yeah, Jisung thinks to himself, what a coincidence.
