“Please wipe the drool from your mouth.” Came Oh Sehun’s amused remark.

Jongin’s hand immediately flew to wipe the unpleasant remnants of liquid from his mouth.

“Seriously, bro, learn some proper hygiene!”

Sehun could go bash his head on the nearest wall and Jongin won’t even bat an eye. What right does he not have to stare at Luhan? Jongin thought amusedly.

“Shut up, prick. I have every right to drool over my boyfriend, okay?”

Luhan, Jongin’s boyfriend for a year now, was currently running about in the field along with his soccer buddies, he was currently the team’s captain and was intent on making his team rise up to the sport that’s where things are at (well according to Luhan that is).

Jongin along with Sehun, sat by the field’s bleachers and were currently taking a “break” from dance practice.

Sehun scoffed upon hearing that apparently their taking a “break” meant Jongin being the creepy-stalking-boyfriend that he was.

The younger of the two never fails to find it amusing to always witness Jongin on his fanboy mode whenever Luhan was playing soccer, smiling, walking or talking or just basically being Luhan. Upon becoming a couple, those two basically were joined to the hip, unable to properly function whenever the other one would not be there to steady the other. Sehun would always make fun of the two whenever they are practically all over each other’s personal space but would secretly admire them at how open they were being about their relationship and just how much they value each other.

Luhan and Jongin’s love was a love that was all consuming, forever lasting. Sehun remembered thinking of it once. 

But since Sehun was a good friend and because Jongin was a brat, Sehun would never let those thoughts out of his pretty little mouth.

Instead he opted to annoy his bestfriend.

“Come on Jongin, stop being creepy!”

Sehun received a shove in the face as an answer.

“Yah! You-“Sehun was about to shove back when he saw the expression on Jongin’s face, he stealthily got his phone out from his pocket and directed the camera on Jongin’s face, discreetly recording a video.

Jongin completely wore that love-struck look one usually sees only in anime characters. Sehun sniggers internally because damn, this would be a very fine piece of blackmail material.  The younger was about to stop recording the video, because really that dumb look on Jongin’s face was enough to give Sehun a stomachache, when Jongin suddenly squealed.

Sehun spluttered.

He nearly dropped his phone.

Sehun followed Jongin’s line of vision and upon seeing what his dumb friend squealed about, he sighed in defeat.

Jongin can’t take his eyes off Luhan. He always knew that deep down that doll like face of his boyfriend, lays a man who loves soccer beyond doubt and a person of high regards into the workings of real men.

Luhan was running about in the field, wearing his red jersey which has the number seven printed at the back, the soccer team was having a mini game between themselves as sort of their own way of practicing and having the moment as the perfect time to try out new drills and passes with the members.

Jongin saw Kim Minseok running around with the ball, he was scanning the whole field, calculating who would be best to pass the ball to. Minseok avoided interceptions with ease that Jongin had to admit that the older was a good player. Minseok continued to run, still avoiding the ball from being stolen when he suddenly kicked the ball to his left.

What the! No one’s there! Was he an idiot?! Jongin thought sourly.

Jongin was so sure that the other team would capitalize with the mistake that Minseok made when he saw Luhan suddenly materializing from Minseok’s left. Jongin swore that Luhan was nowhere near Minseok when he passed the ball and was openly surprised to find his boyfriend already running with the ball, avoiding the opposing team’s members and clearing a perfect goal.

Jongin watched as Luhan and Minseok’s team members erupt into a loud cheer and patted the two on their backs. Jongin continued to watch as Luhan and Minseok hugged each other tightly and longer than what Jongin deemed as just a teammate’s bro hug.

Luhan and Minseok were smiling at each other, with their arms slung on each other’s shoulders, as they turned to their other teammates to return the cheer.

Jongin’s tongue tastes bitter.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sehun along with a pouting Jongin made their way towards Luhan as they saw the soccer team go about their own ways towards the locker room.

Minseok was still talking to Luhan and was the first one who noticed the two.

“Hey Jongin, Sehun!” Minseok greeted cheerfully.

“Yo Minseok hyung, Luhan hyung.” Sehun greeted back platonically.

Jongin nodded his head towards Minseok as a form of greeting and he turned to Luhan.

“Hey, hyung.”

Luhan flashed him with one of his beautiful smiles, complete with sparkling eyes and side eye wrinkles that the younger nearly forgot about the bro hug that Luhan shared with Minseok earlier.

“That goal was awesome, hyung.” Jongin offered lamely.

Luhan chuckled “I got lucky because the pass was just right.”

Minseok slapped Luhan’s shoulders good naturedly while chuckling.

Jongin suddenly wanted to strangle something.

“Well, whatever. I’ll head back to the lockers first, Lu. See you around Jongin, Sehun.” Jongin watched Minseok as he jogged towards the locker room. Jongin haven’t noticed that he was burning holes into thin air when he felt a hand massaging the back of his neck.

“I thought you have dance practice, what are you doing here?” Luhan asked as he continued to massage Jongin’s neck.

Jongin leaned into the skin contact and was about to answer Luhan when Sehun decided that it was the perfect time to open his thin, mean mouth.

“We were on our break Luhan hyung when Jongin decided to stalk, oh I mean check up on you at soccer practice. “

Luhan cast an amused grin towards Sehun and turned to Jongin. “Well, I guess breaks aren’t supposed to last this long right?”

The two teenagers stiffened visibly and scrambled to check the time on their phones.

“!”

“!”

Luhan’s laughter rang loud upon seeing the panicked look on the two teenager’s handsome faces, he waved them off as he made his way to the lockers to shower.

“You better run, idiots. Laters!”

Jongin and Sehun sprinted as fast as their long legs allowed them to towards the dance club’s room.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When the two arrived at their room, panting hard, the group was halfway through learning the new choreography. Movements stopped upon noticing the presence of the two late members.

Someone cleared his throat. “Okay everyone! Focus please, back to learning! Please join us, Jongin ah, Sehun ah. “Zhang Yixing, the dance club president, flashed them his dimpled smile.

Jongin and Sehun’s shoulders sagged in relief as they scrambled at the back and effortlessly caught up with the new choreography.

Thank the heavens for blessing them with an angel of a club president, Jongin thought thankfully.

As Jongin immersed himself to his passion that was dance, thoughts of lingering touches and hugs and past connections left his thoughts and he started to flow with the beat, commanding every note under his movements. He let his muscles work, let his senses soar, he started to dance.

After the dance practice, Yixing pulled Jongin and Sehun to the side and reminded them kindly of punctuality and responsibilities. The older waved the two off with a pat on the back and a word from the two that they wouldn’t be having a repeat of the incident they had this afternoon.

Once Yixing left, Sehun hurriedly went for the door but halted on his steps when Jongin hollered about showering, Sehun hollered back that he’d do it once he got back to his place and dashed off to who knows somewhere.

Jongin then decided that Sehun was gross and that he would never follow Sehun’s unsanitary ways ever. He retrieved his backpack from the floor and went into the showers and let the hot water ease his tired muscles.

When Jongin got out form the dance club’s room, freshly showered and clean, he was startled to find Luhan leaning on the wall opposite of the club room’s door. The older looked up and graced Jongin with a smile.

“Hey.” The elder greeted.

“Hyung, what are you doing here?”

Luhan squinted his eyes on Jongin and teased “Do you perhaps know of a certain Kim Jongin? You see I was stalki-“

Jongin groaned.

Luhan bit his lip to fight back his laughter. “But seriously, is it wrong for me to come and wait for my boyfriend?”

The tips of Jongin’s ears felt hot upon hearing his hyung’s words. “You should have just said so.” He stepped closer to Luhan and grabbed his hyung’s left hand using his right one. Luhan clasped their hands together tightly and they fell into steps.

It was nice holding Luhan’s hand like this, Jongin thought contentedly. He can feel the warmth of their joined hands, making him smile and just lavish the moment, walking together hand in hand in silence.

“Let’s grab dinner! What do you say, Jongin ah?” Luhan asked as they neared the school’s exit.

“Oh let’s get chicken then!” Jongin gushed.

“Chicken again? Yah Kim Jongin, soon enough you’ll start growing a pair of wings because of eating too-“ Luhan was having fun teasing his boyfriend when he felt his phone vibrate from his pocket.

He got it out and saw that he received a new message notification from Minseok. Luhan unlocked his phone and read the message while walking hand in hand with Jongin.

Curious because his boyfriend suddenly stopped at his teasing, Jongin looked over Luhan’s shoulder and began reading the text the he received. And upon reading who the sender was, Jongin scowled.

From: Baozi

Yah Luhan!!! U were the one who stole my new TVXQ socks werent u, u doe eyed unmanly man!!!! U prick, u better return them to me or I’ll strangle u with ur Hello Kitty wristbands!!!

Luhan began cackling when he read his friend’s angry outburst but paled immediately when his Hello Kitty wristbands were mentioned. How did Minseok knew about them?!! They were safely buried under all his stuffs inside his locker! 

Luhan hurriedly typed a response.

To: Baozi

From: Baozi

Watch me u doll faced deer!

To: Baozi

Yah u steamed bun!! How dare u call me a doll!! U will pay u little !

From: Baozi

u, u deer!!! Lets see what will happen to ur beloved stash of Hello Kitty cotton candies!! GIVE ME BACK MY TVXQ SOCKS!!!

Luhan suddenly stopped walking and screeched, he began typing furiously.

Jongin’s scowl deepened when Luhan let go of his hand and started typing like a mad man on his phone. Unable to do anything else without Luhan’s hand on him, he stuffed his own hand roughly on his jean pockets and grumbled to himself.

“Hey, Lu I thought we’ll be getting chicke-“ Jongin was about to get Luhan’s attention when the older held up his palm and pointed towards his phone, someone was calling him. When Jongin saw the caller ID, he felt the bitter taste that he got this afternoon coming
