Jehyun was beaming the moment he step foot inside the university. It's finally the day they would teach, meaning the last day they'll have to work with the seniors. Skipping his way to the classroom, he made sure to positively greet every person he would pass. He was really in a good mood.

And it wasn't only him. His classmates were happily chatting while finalizing things for later. They were busy arranging papers for their lesson and activities for the kids. Even Chen, who usually didn't pay attention to these things, was busy finalizing his powerpoint.

"where's Joshua? " he asked his best friend, seeing no sign of their sane friend. Chen didn't look up from what he was doing but answered. "in the lion's den"

Jehyun looked at his best friend quizzically. Still not looking up Chen answered, "his in the senior's room"

Jehyun then made an 'o' face. Makes sense knowing their grade conscious Friend. Any how, he took out his laptop and went on finalizing the presentation. He planned on meeting his partner after break time since that would be the time they would start teaching.

🌟

"well hello to you too Kim" Jung hoon rolled his eyes as he noticed who entered the council room. It was only him at the moment and he chose to stay here instead of his classroom. Knowing that it would be packed with juniors and seniors.

"that's not a nice way to greet your partner" Seojun sat on one of the couches that the room offered, kicking his feet and placing them on top of the coffee table. Jung hoon didn't have to hide his disgust.

"what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in that drama of yours" he didn't want jehyun to know that the celebrity was here.

"oh that, well my noona excused me from it. It's clear that I got the role why stress about it and" Seojun waved his hand. "this is my grade we're talking about. I don't to get scolded because I failed"

Jung hoon stopped typing to raise his head and looked at the celebrity. "is she that scary? "

"positive"

🌟

"aish can you shut up and listen! "

Jehyun ignored what his friend said and went back to explaining to his partner about their topic in biology. He's happy that his partner agreed to it since this was the only subject he could understand easily. "and that should be it"

"that all? I though it would be complex or something" his partner said in disbelief. "but what if I forget something? "

"then I'll go up to help you" he patted his partner's shoulder in comfort. "but knowing you since you are part of the ranks I don't think it would be a trouble and—"

"wah! "

Papers were falling from the sky. Everyone in the cafeteria looked at their direction. Jehyun who wondered why followed their gazes, immediately placing a poker expression once he realized why. Chen, being the dramatic person he is, threw his research paper in the air in exasperation. Joshua who sat beside him merely glanced at the butterfly before going back to typing. Talk about being unbothered.

"don't mind him " he reassured his partner. "he's always like that"

🌟

"and that kids is that reason why we use pronouns" Seojun finished his lesson and smiled at the year 1 students in front of his. After arguing with junghoon and proving that he can in fact teach , the senior had no choice but let him.

Seojun actually thanked all of this to his noona who kept tabs for him. He was even forced to take a crash course in English just for this project. Not only that but he was forced to speak with his noona in formal English, meaning no slang and proper grammar whatsoever.

"didn't think you had it in you Kim" Junghoon patted his shoulder as he sat down beside him. He finished passing the answer sheets he prepared to the students.

Seojun shrugged. "I'm not that dumb you know"

"yeah says the one who thought 7 times 9 was 64"

That was sometime when the senior asked Seojun what 7 times 9 was. Being the confident person Seojun is, he answered with no hesitation, "64"

"aish how would I know it was 63" the celebrity snorted. "it's just one number away. I don't get why you so stiff about it"

Junghoon rolled his eyes. How did Jehyun manage to survive with his kid? The more he talks to him, the more he is losing braincells. Speaking of Jehyun, he wondered what he was doing. Maybe he should message him.

🌟

Jehyun stopped chewing to Grab his phone from pocket and check what Jung hoon sent him. The two have been exchanging messages since an hour ago. A smile made it's way to his lips as the older sent him another one of his lame jokes.

Chen looked at his best friend with disgust. The other wouldn't see thought since he was busy with his phone. Joshua who sat beside him sighed before nudging him. "can you stop that"

"why would I? My ship is obviously going to sink! " Chen exclaimed.

"yeah and so will your brain"

Junghoon🐕: can we meet up later after school?

Hyuniie🦁: sure why though?

Junghoon🐕: I'm going to tell you something

Hyuniie🦁: was that supposed to be the one yesterday?

Junghoon🐕:yeah

can you come to the archery practice field?

Hyuniie🦁: sure😊

"should I call Seojun" Chen didn't care if the lion cub heard him. In fact the lion cub didn't notice that Seojun was present that morning, walking blatantly in the university hallways while annoying the council president.

Joshua shot him a puzzled look. "since when were the two of you close? "

Chen smirked before throwing himself at Joshua, the other boy catching him like it was the most normal thing to do. "since we went to the mall"

"you went to the mall? "

🌟

Jung hoon waited patiently for Jehyun. He would occasionally shoot an arrow, calming his raising heart in the process. He should get this over with. Jehyun deserved to know how he felt. How he felt butterfly when he saw the younger for the first time.

It was back in his sophomore year when he first met Jehyun who as a freshman that time. The younger standing out because if his best friend who wouldn't stop shouting his name. Not only that but after jehyun was able to change the ways of the bullies he got more attention. He probably fell for him when the freshman was introduced to him as his clubmate when the younger was once part of the archery team.

"hey Junghoon"

Putting down his bow, he turned and was the greeted with the glorious sight of Jehyun. The younger had some of his books, he must have skipped a class to meet him.

"hey hyun" he greeted softly, placing down his gear and walking closer to the younger. "here" he got out a chocolate wrapped in cellophane and gave it to the younger.

"for me but why? "

"because... " I love you. "because I have something to say to you"

"really what's that? "

"I like you Hyun. I really do"

Jehyun stood there in shock. Jung hoon just confessed to him and it made his stomach turn in an unpleasant way. No, he didn't hate nor did he dislike the older but it just didn't sit right with him. His heart didn't also react. It instead felt empty.

"h-Hyun? "

What, what should he do? Should he reject him but it looked like the older was preparing this for a long time. He didn't want to crush the older but also didn't want to lie.

"yah mutt I got—lion cub? "

Why did Seojun have to enter? Wait Seojun!? He's here!?

Turning around, he caught the sight of the grizzly bear holding up a can of soda and a bag full of chips. He watched as the celebrity gave him a puzzled look.

"Can you leave us Kim? "

Jehyun shivered at the low voice the senior Used. He turned again and saw the senior looking down on the floor.

"j-junghoon" he watched as the senior expectedly looked up. He closed his eyes, it was not or never.

He took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry but I can't accept the feelings"

Seojun let go of the bag and let the soda he once held fall to the ground. He watched as the senior stood there rigidly, eyes void of any emotion. Jehyun did fuck up so bad. He may not know the older that long but he knew the older was literally head over heels in love with jehyun. He even considered on stopping his pestering of the lion cub for the senior's sake.

"is that s-so" Jung hoon gulped down the salica forming in his throat, then bitting the inside of his cheek to stop crying. "that's ok"

What? That wasn't OK. He should explain further why he liked him, when he liked him, why—

"I am well aware you like someone" the senior said softly, closing the distance between him and Jehyun. He then raised his hand and placed his hand on the junior's shoulder. "and I hope he would realize it as well"

Jung hoon then retrieved his hand before walking away, out of the room. Seojun guessed he was going to go to his driver who was waiting for him and drive to the company.

Jehyun on the other hand sighed in exhaustion before falling down to the ground where he hugged his knees together. He felt tired watching the older take in what he said. It also made him guilty as how the older brushed it off like it was nothing and say that he, jehyun, liked someone. Maybe he should go after the older.

"I think you leave him. He needs some time" Seojun mumbled loud enough for him to hear. He watched as the older crouched to his height and ruffle his hair, showing a healing smile. "can't believe you just reject the university's best in boyfriend material"

📱

Jung hoon knew he shouldn't be mad. In fact it was his fault for confessing when they weren't that close yet. He also shouldn't be mad at the celebrity who ruined their moment. But at the same he should be thankful that the other made the air less tense in a way.

"aish I came here to see miss Lianne not some mutt" a rude person suddenly said and made Jung hoon look up from where he sat in his cousin's office.

Excuse me but he's the CEO's cousin for heaven sake! So how dare this sta—"jayden? "

Jayden looked at him and showed a smirk before walking close to him. This made Jung hoon panic and Try to move back but ended up leaning against the wall. Dang did the heavens hate him today.

The soloist then leaned down on him and wrapping his arms on Junghoon's waist. "well if ain't my favorite Chihuahua "
