It was chemistry class and there was a substitute teacher. Jaebum sat way in the back alone, which was his favorite spot to sleep if he was honest. Youngjae sat in the front with his close friend, Yoo Youngjae, which yes, did cause a lot of confusion.  

Since there was a substitute teacher, no one was caring about class and even the substitute gave up. Youngjae, however, was working on some ASB stuff in class only to be tapped by his table partner.

    “Hey dude, Youngjae. Have you seen this video?” Youngjae shoved his phone in the other’s face and played the video.

Choi Youngjae was absolutely stunned. It was a video of him singing his composed song, My Day, which he wrote based on his fight with Jaebum, but also exaggerated. It was just the other day in the streets, but no one cared much about street performers that a video would be passed around. That was why he performed there, to keep it lowkey.

    “A moment with you in my day / I didn’t know it would happen to me / Baby it’s you who my heart is going to.” He had sang that song dozens of times, the lyrics hitting to heart each time. It was just shocking because it just couldn’t believe that the video was of him and no one knew.

The day Youngjae wrote that song was a couple days after the start of their fight. His emotions were in a rut and he didn’t want to spend a moment without his boyfriend, but he couldn’t give in. He couldn’t act suddenly upset and then forgiving to Jaebum when he was also full of lies. He needed time away from Jaebum to figure out how to make this relationship work but every single day killed him being away from his love. The lyrics of the song didn’t 100% tell their relationship’s story, but he liked it that way. In the thought that Jaebum could come across his music and suspect that Ars was Youngjae, it gave Youngjae a sense of peace that at least his lyrics weren’t a dead giveaway.

Yoo Youngjae soon tucked away his phone as the video finished. The other quickly turned around to see if Jaebum was listening, but the fencer was peacefully sleeping.

   “Amazing, right? The video is going viral and with almost 2 million views. Everyone’s trying to find who this guy is. Apparently it’s a self composed song an--”

   “Wait a minute, people are looking for him?!” Youngjae interrupted in disbelief. His music was getting big? No, not possible. It can’t be true.

   “Uh, yeah,” Youngjae answered a bit awkwardly due to the other’s sudden interjection, “I mean, his singing is all over the internet. This guy could seriously become famous.”

    “Yeah, yeah. Of course. I wonder who he is,” the ASB president tried to play off and not sound too obvious.

Youngjae moved over to talk to Daehyun and Choi Youngjae checked his phone only to receive a spam of texts from his music friend, Kyungsoo.

Youngjae laughed as he read the messages and put his phone back in his pocket, mentally reminding himself to give his friend a call because Pluto didn’t sound like a fun place to be. The bell rang soon after and everyone quickly left, but as Youngjae turned around to leave he saw Jaebum still in his sleep, taking a deep nap with his mouth hanging and drool dripping from his mouth just a bit. Despite them being on a break, Youngjae took the opportunity to take a picture of him before leaving.

Now what am I going to do about Jaebum?

Jackson paced back and forth in his room with his phone in his head, trying to craft the perfect message to none other than Mark Tuan.

    “Hey friend! Lets swim tonight! Yeah?” he sighed as he deleted the text, “No, that sounds weird. Are you available for another swimming lesson tonight?” he deleted again in frustration, “No. That sounds too formal.”

Cool Swim Captain, 3:00pm

Hey girlfriend! You and me swimming tonight after your practice? Whaddya say?

Jackson meant that text as a joke, but he found himself regretting even typing it as his thumb accidentally clicked send before he could delete the horrendous m
