"a senior and junior teaching project" Jehyun lowered the flyer that Chen got from the announcement committee. The butterfly happily nodded his head, jumping in his seat. "I know right! I wonder who we're going to be partnered with"
Seojun looked at the flyer with distaste. So this is what the senior meant when he message the celebrity the night before. He clicked his tongue at the older's poor efforts. There is no way—
"wait all students from section 1 are required to join!? " everyone's attention went to jehyun who had a hand on his forehead, brows furrowed in distress. "not only that but we're getting paired with the senior's from section 1 as well"
Some of his classmates replied with a groan. They didn't have the best relationship with those from their seniors section 1.
"oh why should we worry. We aren't section 1" Chen tried to reassure the others. Joshua scoffed and hit the butterfly's head with the book he was reading. "idiot—we're section 1. What do you think our section is? "
Jim rubbed the sore spot. "two? " Joshua heaved a hopeless sigh. It amazed him how the butterfly even got into their section when he was mostly clueless during discussions.
Seojun ripped the flyer one of his classmates gave him. The action getting the attention of some. "well not like Jehyun—"
"here's the official list of pairings! "
Everyone stopped what they were doing, those sitting down got up and went to the front board to check who they were paired with. Some scrunched their noses in disgust as they found their partner. Some, mostly girls, were happy that they got the famous boys as their partners.
Jehyun on the other had had his jaw dropped as he discovered who his partner was. Turning TO Chen who was grumbling curses under his breath, "Chen I don't want to be partnered with him! " his best friend shrugged what he said, pointing an accusing finger at him, "at least you got Jung hoon I got someone I don't even know! "
"really" Joshua stood beside his friends, hands in his pockets. "that's what you are worried about" he clicked his tongue and tilted his head. "how about worry about what the two of you would discuss. May I remind you—"Yeah yeah" Chen waved their friend off before letting out a loud wail and dramatically falling To the ground. This made Joshua roll his eyes. He turned to Seojun who was silent the whole time. "how about—" lion why don't we exchange partners? "
Seojun is a genius and he knows that. So with his quick thinking the made a plan on how this mutt's plan would backfire.
Jehyun who was busy trying to get his friend up, looked at the celebrity. "huh? Oh—you would do that? " Seojun nodded his head. "yeah I don't know who this person I'm partnered with and I can't just go with someone. I'm a cel—"Yeah celebrity" jehyun rolled his eyes. He kicked Chen so that the butterfly would stand up.
"so what do you say lion cub? " Seojun looked at him expectedly. Jehyun thought for a moment. Seojun's proposal is a win-win situation at its finest. So why not. "sure what could go wrong? "

Jung hoon arranged his books for the fifth time that hour. He was nervous, constantly checking the library door for any sign of Jehyun. He knew he's a genius and that's the reason why he proposed this junior-senior teaching plan. He knew the headmaster wouldn't dig into it ant deeper, seeing that was a great idea in helping stop the fued between the two levels. Not only that but his main goal is to get closer with Jehyun.
He smiled and looked up expectedly when he heard the chair in front of him move. But a frown quickly replaced it. He even glared at the person who sat across him. "what are you doing here Kim"
"I should ask you the same... Partner" Seojun had a smug grin on his face as he saw the annoyed expression on the senior's face. Throwing his bag on top of the table, he took out his phone, taking a selfie with the glaring president. He looked at the photo, smiling widely. "so what should we discuss for the elementary students? "
"aren't you supposed to be with your partner" Jung hoon grumbled, starting to arrange his books. Seojun faked a gasped And placed a dramatic hand over his chest. "why haven't you heard that I'm your partner"
"what? " Jung hoon stopped what he was doing and looked at the celebrity. Seojun scoffed before taking out a piece of paper from his bag. It was the new official list of partners. "news travel slow to you"
Jung hoon snatched the paper from the celebrity, eyes widening as he read the list. How come he wasn't informed about this. And he's the council president for heavens sake! Why didn't his secretary inform him about this.
"buhu" Seojun wiped a fake tear. "is the mutt going to cry? "
Jung hoon clicked his tongue, loudly slamming the list on the table. The sound echoed the spacious library, heads turning to them in wonder. Even the librarian was looking at them. "how did you do it huh? "
Seojun smiled and leaned on the table. "being a celebrity has its perks you know"
Jung hoon mumbled curses under his breath. He underestimated the celebrity. But he shouldn't be worried, the celebrity may have some type of advantage but he had a couple of things up his sleeve. "and you don't think being school council president doesn't have as well" he can easily ask the headmaster to change partners.
Seojun smiled. Jung hoon was too predictable. "don't even ask the headmaster. I told him after the lists were given and guess what mutt, he said you'll be my partner" he watched as the president huffed. "you can ask him if you want"

Chen flinched in his seat as the sound of the roaring thunder and the heavy patter coming from the rain. This was their last class for the day, it being mathematics. He heaved a sigh as he watched his seatmate, Joshua, continued to write down the equations on the board and effortlessly solving them. He then looked straight ahead and watched as his best friend was doing the same, only scratching the back of his head every time he got confused. He wondered how much—cring!
"well that is all for today class" their professor started keeping his things before looking at the class who were busy stretching, "continue solving the equations at home because we'll be checking that tomorrow. Be careful in going home and good bye"
Once their teacher left, everyone started fixing their things. Jehyun in particular was ready to leave. He didn't want to get caught up in the rain on his way to the police station. He was about to sling his book bag when Seojun stopped him.
"ride with me to the station" he simply said before walking out of the room. Jehyun blinked twice to catch what the celebrity said. If it wasn't for Chen harshly slapping his arm then he would have stood there the entire time. "go on. Your grizzly bear is waiting"
Jung hoon was annoyed for the rest of the day. This caused him to have a short temper that caused him to snap at his co-council members. He badly wanted to punch the smug expression the celebrity had when the asked the headmaster to change his partner. The celebrity just had to trail behind him.
As of the moment he was doing his after-school rounds on the ground floor when he saw Jehyun. And like magic, his mood lifted. He happily approached the younger. "hey jehyun! " he tapped the younger. Jehyun turned around and met his chest.
"oh hey Jung hoon! " jehyun quickly moved away from the senior. "what are you doing here"
Jung hoon chuckled at the younger before reaching out to ruffle his hair. "I was doing my rounds. Want to join? "
Jehyun bit his tongue. He couldn't let Seojun wait any longer, knowing that the celebrity had somewhere to go after school, but he also couldn't say no to the senior. Seeing that Jung hoon was making an effort to befriend him. "well... "
Seojun irritably tapped his foot onto the pavement. Beside him was his manage who held an umbrella over his head. Jisoo checked his watch and clicked his tongue, nudging the younger. "who are we waiting for anyway? We got to go Jun. You got a photo shoot in five"
Seojun clicked his tongue, he notice he's been doing that ever since he challenged Jung hoon. He got out his phone and tried messaging the lion cub. He didn't want the other walking in the rain and since they'll be passing the station, bringing the other with them would be a problem.
"you really didn't have to Junghoon"
He looked up from his phone, frowning as he watched his lion cub laugh at something Jung hoon said. If it wasn't for his manager stopping him, he would have marched up to the two and grabbed Jehyun.
"took you long enough" he grumbled, eyeing jehyun. He had the senior's blazer over his and Junghoon'S head. Seojun then glared at the senior's direction. "thanks" he pulled jehyun closer to him and grabbed the cub's bag that the senior was holding. He watched as the senior's eyes were glued on his cub. He wrapped his arm around jehyun's waist and pulled him closer, completely ignoring the surprised look he got from his manager and jehyun. "we better go"
🌟
"don't talk to him" Seojun finally said after an few minutes of deafening silence. He had his eyes stuck on his phone but it was obvious he meant what he said. Jehyun slowly looked at him while his manager glanced the celebrity from the passenger seat.
"what? " jehyun managed to say, somewhat afraid about what the celebrity could say next.
Seojun heaved a deep sigh, tearing his eyes away from the script he was reading on his phone to look at the lion cub. "don't talk to him or in fact don't talk to any other guy other than me and your friends" he grimaced as he watched jehyun really to retaliate. He looked out of the window, noticing that they stopped in front of the police station. "we're here"
Jehyun looked around, surprised how they got here so fast. He looked at Seojun who went back to his phone. "look I don't get why you don't want me to talk to other guys but that can't happen" he watched as Seojun let out a sarcastic laugh before shutting his phone and turning to look at him straight in the eyes. "because? "
"just because"
Seojun chuckled, leaning closer to his lion cub. "what if I say I get jealous when I see you with another guy who isn't me" he then opened the door on his side and got out, his manager panicking. Seojun went to the other side, ignoring the fact he's now drenched in the rain and opened the door for the lion cub. He helped the other down, even offering his blazer as a cover on their heads and escorted the other to the front of the station.
He took a step back and eyed at the younger, tilting his head he said, "I'm jealous when you look and talk at someone who is not me" before turning around and getting in the van.
Jehyun stood there, trying to process things. Not noticing the van speeding off. The only thing in his mind was what Seojun said.
Seojun was jealous of him talking to other guys. It made him pace around. That can't be. A celebrity getting jealous because of a petty thing as that couldn't be true. "no he's trying to get into your head Hyun. " he shook his head, placing a hand over his beating heart. "yeah, he's just playing with you "
