"Seojun I don't think changing Wasabi as mocha is good" Jehyun deadpaned as he watched the celebrity place the Wasabi as their mocha buttercream For their macaroons. "nor do I think you should give them to Chen"

Seojun ignored the lion cub and proceeded to wrap up the macaroons. He wanted to get back to butterfly who frightened him during archery class. The butterfly had the audacity to shout, causing him to be startled and almost shot their instructor, it was a good thing the old man dodge it quickly.

"and done" the celebrity clasped his hand together, beaming at his creations. He was lucky enough to bump into Jehyun and was able to drag him to their university's kitchen where he baked these macaroons. Turning to Jehyun who raised a brow, he let out a scoff. "don't worry too much lion cub. Chen would die if he eats this"

Jehyun would beg to differ. The Chinese hates spicy food. He can't even eat spicy ramen even if he's forced to. The last time he did ended up with Joshua covered in spicy ramen while Jin's kitchen was on fire. He placed a hand on his hip. "yeah and Joshua is straight"

"what is with you guys and his sexuality? " Seojun wondered why they tried to make their point they would say that. He asked Joshua once and the latter merely shrugged and dismissed the question.

"oh please, that boy is straight as a ruler" Jehyun snorted. He wasn't wrong though. For the duration of their friendship, the boy never once batted an eyelash to the same gender. The only reason he hangs out with them was because he wanted to. It didn't even surprised Jehyun when Chen suddenly said to him that he liked Joshua but quickly dropped the idea since the older was straight. "but why would you even give Chen these? " he picked up the container that contained the dessert. He shot a look at the celebrity.

"I almost shot our archery instructor during class because of that damb butterfly " Seojun replied. "I was aiming for the apple behind the instructor but that butterfly suddenly shouted and made me let go of my arrow while the instructor was giving instructions . It was a good thing the old man was able to duck"

Jehyun made an 'o' face. "you know what, you should give him this" he shoved the container to Seojun. "and you don't have to worry about the old man because that guy got use to it especially when Chen is around"

Seojun didn't understand what the lion cub meant. Jehyun who caught on the former's confusion quickly answered, "Chen almost shot that old man countless of times. It's a miracle that the guy is still alive"

Where was the lie? In Jehyun's point of view, Chen was the epitome of bad luck especially during archery class. The guy would cause almost injuries because of his presence along. You can't count how many times Joshua had to bail the butterfly out of detention. Not only that but the butterfly had his unfiltered mouth that also caused trouble for them. There was even one instance that Joshua had to duck tape his mouth to shut him up.

"here"

Jehyun looked at the vanilla macaroon that Seojun held out. He didn't realize the celebrity made two batches, one Macha with Wasabi and plain vanilla with caramel buttercream. "when did you make this? I only saw you making the wasabi" taking a bite, he hummed in delight at its delicious taste. "it's good by the way"

This made Seojun smile. He actually bake that last night since he couldn't fall asleep. Why? He was conflicted to say the least. He wondered why he couldn't bring himself to hate and Try to destroy the lion cub in front of him. Hell wasn't that the first thing he wanted to do when they first met and yet here he is not even trying. He also wondered why he was conflicted. He should annoy the cub to the extent that he would beg for him to stop, not be there whenever the cub was in trouble. He also didn't get why time somewhat slows down whenever he's the other.

"seojun are you ok? "

No, he's not. He's confused as to why Lee Jehyun makes him question things. Hell he's confused as to why he was so pent up when Junghoon like the cub. Why was the only thing that he could question and not get an answer.

Chen inspected the container that Jehyun suddenly gave him as they walked past each other. He wondered why his best friend suddenly gave him that. He knows his best friend is not the type to give gifts, so receiving one was alarming To say the least.

"is he trying to poison me? " he turned to Joshua who sat beside him for geography class. The older of the two looked up from his book and shrugged. This made the butterfly frown. There goes Joshua blatantly ignoring him because of his studies. If only he wasn't the headmaster's son, he would have forced the older to cut classes with him. "weird.. "

"weird how? " Joshua closed his book, propping his elbow on the table and raised one of his brows. The butterfly looked at him expectedly. "Jehyun gave me this"

OK that was weird. Even Joshua found it weird. He leaned closer to Chen who backed away a little. "you should open it"

The younger of the two hesitantly opened the container, head scrunched together as they were greeted with the sight of Macha macaroons. "macaroons? "

Joshua got one, sniffing it and found nothing weird. He placed it in front of Chen's lips who hesitantly took a bite. Mouth scrunching as he tried to decifer the distinct taste.

"I don't see an—"

"AH SHIT IT'S SPICY"

Chen suddenly got up from his seat, tongue out for the world to see and was flapping his hands in attemp to cool it. Joshua, who was watching, could only blink as he watch Chen ask people if they have water. Do they have? Of course not. They aren't allowed to bring drinks inside the classrooms.

"QUIT SITTING THERE JOSH AND FIND ME WATER"

The said friend flinched as he hastily stood up from his seat, grabbing Chen by the collar and running to the cafeteria where he was sure there was water.
