"Good morning, Jeno!"

The jet-haired boy turned around to be greeted by a red head, with sun-kissed skin.

"Oh, Hyuck. Good morning!"

He returned the greeting with a small smile plastered across his lips, his smile not reaching his eyes like they usually would.

Though, the boy in front of him didn't seem to notice it and couldn't care less about it.

Donghyuck wrapped an arm around Jeno's shoulder, bringing the taller boy to bend down. "I know it's too early to ask you this, but the team and I are planning to have a friendly game of basketball after class. You're a good player! And I was wondering if you'd like to join us? Don't worry, everyone's friendly!" The red headed chirped, grinning while he keeps his gaze fixed on the latter.

Jeno let out a light chuckle, shaking his head as he carefully took Donghyuck's arms off of him.

"Ah, the offer is really making me want to join you guys and play. But I unfortunately already have plans for later after class. I am so sorry, Hyuck. I'll try to join you guys some other time. Good luck looking for someone else to join you, though! I'm sure there are willing students out there."

The said boy huffed in disappointment, puffing his cheek before letting the air out with a slight nod.

"That is a shame. I don't know any other good basketball players out there other than you. But I have no right to complain or force you to join us if you already made plans for later. Hmm. Maybe some other, Jen! I'll see you in class."

Donghyuck gave him one last smile while waving, before running off somewhere to which Jeno assumed is the start of Donghyuck's hunt for another player to join the later game.

Jeno watched Donghyuck run until he was no longer in sight. He heaves a sigh as he fixes his backpack's straps, sauntering towards his locker to pick up his textbooks with him that he will be needing for class.

The halls were slowly being occupied by students who just arrived. He walks past everyone and went straight to their room. Settling his stuffs and bag down before taking a seat on the seat he was assigned to. The room is just as noisy as the hall, students are coming inside one after another, filling in the once empty seats.

Jeno shook his head at the sight and rummaged through his stuff for his earphones. He plugs it to his mp3 player, with Saosin's Sleepers playing. He moves forward to rest his arms on his desk, flipping through the book for nothing.

Class has barely started but Jeno is already wishing for his class to end soon.
