„Mornings playboy“, Baekhyun shouts a bit too loud to Jongins taste and excitedly bumps into him from behind.

„What on earth have I done to deserve this?“, Jongin moans and throws his arm around Baekhyun as they wander down the hallway together.

„Just stating the truth dude. Or is it just some malicious rumor that you had a bite of Jenny last party?“ He suggestively wiggles his eyebrows while staring at Jongin more than curious.

Jongin rolls his eyes in annoyance and proceeds to walk a bit faster, leaving a grinning Baekhyun behind.

„Oh come on“, he shouts, gaining some unwanted attention from several students lingering in the hallway, „You know you can't lie to me bro.“

„Won't you just shut it Baek? Please?“

As Baekhyun catches up on Jongin he flashes him a meaningful smirk.

„You know half of the school wants to bang that and you're the lucky one she chooses?“ He exaggeratedly throws his arms into the air while whining with a fake high-pitched voice: „What a horribly inequitable world.“

Jongin fastens his steps with an irritated roll of his eyes.

Luckily the classroom isn't that far away anymore so Baekhyun would stop throwing random fake tantrums.

Sure enough he took Jenny home last party but the heck who wouldn't have with an offer that explicit?

That must've spilled the tea among all her stupid friends when it wasn't even cold yet.

He bets they were texting in some random group chat afterwards as he had noticed the flashy display of her mobile after he ed her but Jongin had been way too high on he didn't even know to pay any further attention.

Perhaps he should stop banging random girls, they were always much too talkative to his liking and as much as his reputation is obvious among the students, he still hates those rumors being spread all the way everytime.

With a growling sigh, he flops down on his seat, lazily putting his stuff onto the table while Baekhyun rambles on about some random topic Jongin doesn't even care about.

„Oh by the way, how's it going with our hot mess of a teach-“

„Shhh!!“ Jongin stops him before Baekhyun could utter out another single word.

„You know this is supposed to be a secret yes?!?“ With a sharp voice, he continues scolding Baekhyun until the latter is quiet.

Jongin looks around to see if anyone is listening before he whispers as quiet as he can: „If anyone gets whiff of this, we're both done for good, Sehun AND I. Got it??“

Baekhyun just nods a little intimidated but quickly puts on his signature grin again.

„Alright, I'll give him some code name then … Mmmm … How about the big O?“

„Oh my gosh Baek you can't be serious“, Jongin slaps forehead.

„Sure, what an adequate name for what's gonna be up with you two, huh?“

„BAEK!!“

„What? You know this is so gonna happ-“

But before Baekhyun could ramble on Jongin puts him in a headlock to silence his blabbering.

„You know that this is NEVER gonna happen yeah? So just please keep that pretty mouth shut about everything even far related to it ok?“

„Ok ok let me out, you're ruining my hair.“

As Jongin let's go, he suddenly remembers something.

„What's happening with Chanyeol and you anyway? Last time I checked he was all over you.“

With a triumphatic smirk, Jongin notices Baekhyun blushing hard at his words.

The latter lowers his head in slight discomfort while muttering almost inaudibly: „Nothing's happening with me and Chanyeol, stop asking.“

„Awww, am I spotting some rainclouds in armors heaven?“

„I said stop it!“

But Jongin couldn't help but tease even more until Baekhyun is finally silenced, sitting on his chair pouting like a cute little child.

„Aww, that's why I love you Baek“, Jongin grins, while poking his friends cheeks, „you never seem to age a single bit.“

And while Baekhyun still tries hard to be offended, Jongin could already spot a little grin forming in the corners of his lips.

„Let's save this whole discussion for another time and some bottles of cheap beer, ok?“

„It's a deal then“, Baekhyun agrees, „but keep me updated on Sehun nonetheless.“

Jongin absentmindedly sorts his stuff as he speaks up: „Well there's not much to talk about anyway. My mom is finally out of the hospital and moved in with us a couple of weeks ago. Things haven't really been that thrilling since then.“

He pauses for a moment as if to hesitate before he continues: „You know he really cares for us, especially for my mom. She's still quite occupied with her injuries and Sehun tries to help wherever he can. Both of us have our own room with seperate bathrooms and he even got my mom a little puppy because she always keeps telling him about our last dog Mable.“

As Jongin talks, Baekhyuns smile becomes wider and wider.

Not necessarily with ambiguity but more of genuine happieness for Jongin, now that they finally managed to get away from his abusive home.

Hearing him talk about his new home makes Baekhyun realize just how much more relaxed and easy-going he had gotten.

Not to mention that he looks gorgeous without any bruises and injuries on his face which not only Baekhyun had noticed.

Jongin could barely save his from dozens of suitors, male or female that continue to lie in wait for him at any given opportunity.

Life slowly seems to start normalizing again.

„What the hell are you grinning at so blissfully?“, Jongin snaps him back to reality and Baekhyun hastily averts his gaze but still smiling to himself.

„Nothing really. We should focus on the lesson, exams are coming up.“

Jongin groans in pain. „Gosh don't remind me, there's still so much to do.“

„Oh come on, you're the one with a teacher an armlegth away, don't play whiny-.“

„He's an arts teacher, don't forget that. And better don't forget that I aced his class by the way.“

Baekhuyn rolls his eyes but grins nonetheless. „Little prick you are.“

„Come on you still love me, don't you?“

Baekhyun supresses a giggle. „Well I do but the teacher isn't quite looking like that to be honest.“

Jongin silences immediately but manages to murmur into Baekhyuns ear quietly: „Who's the little prick now?“

„I'm home“, Jongin shouts while throwing his keys into a little bowl besides the entrance.

The chilly november air has gotten into his bones and his whole body is shaking while he peels himself out of a thick coat.

Temperatures had been dropping significantly since last week and almost everyone excitedly expects the first snow coming soon.

Girls roam around in huge scarfs and elegant winter coats while Jongin just couldn't find a coat thick enough to shield him from the frosty air.

As he tries to get out of his shoes without falling over, the little puppy suddenly makes it's way towards Jongin with his short, fluffy body.

„Mable Junior, what an honor“, Jongin greets her and pets the little furball gently.

While he does so, her tail is wiggling excitedly from side to side.

„Please don't tell me you wanna go outside because I certainly don't.“

A small howl is suddenly outdrowned by a deep, husky voice: „No need for that, I took her out a couple of minutes ago. She's just happy you're home.“

Jongin looks up from his shoes to spot Sehun standing in the doorframe of the kitchen, a gentle smile on his face.

His towering figure is dressed in a cosy, white pullover with fitting dark jeans. His hair is gently playing around his head rather messily as if he had just gotten out of bed.

Although Jongin doesn't want to admit it, his mind is still stunned by Sehuns gorgeous appearance. He hastily shakes his head and proceeds his way into the kitchen.

„Is mom at home?“, he casually asks as he looks around the kitchen where his mom mostly spends her time.

The first time she had seen the spacious room with a modern stove, her whole body had been wiggling excitedly like a little child and now she just couldn't seem to get herself away from it, alway cooking the most delicious meals for Jongin and Sehun.

The most beautiful thing Jongin had seen in years now is the overjoyous smile when her food got complimented.

Especially Sehun never spared an appreciative smile whenever he took his first bite.

It had almost gotten routine that Jongins mom would secretly spy on the two eating to make sure the food tasted good.

When one of them smiled with relish, she would turn around to the stove again grinning to herself contently, continuing to prepare lunch and dinner.

„Your mom said she wanted to meet a friend tonight“, Sehun smiled as he prepared a plate for Jongin, „must've been a long time she had the chance to go out huh?“

Now that Jongin thinks about it, he had never seen his mom going out and meeting friends.

Her husband and Jongin were the only two persons that actually defined her social life.

Only partially digesting what his mom must've been through, Jongin suddenly loses his appetite infront of the deliciously smelling food.

That's when he feels a huge hand gently grabbing his shoulder.

Startled by the unexpected action, Jongin slightly jumps in his seat, almost flipping his plate over.

„Careful“, Sehun smirks, taking another seat besides Jongin.

„Want some tea?“

Jongin, still mildly shocked by his almost accident, doesn't answer immediately.

„Jongin?“

„H-Huh?“

Sehun smiles again quite amusedly.

„I asked if you want some tea? You look perished.“

„Sounds amazing. I doubt that Mable Junior is going to warm me up small as she is.“ As he said her name, Mable looks up to him from his lap, blinking a few times before snuggling up against his belly again.

Sehun, who had noticed the puppy's action, chuckles to himself deeply before setting two steaming cups onto the table.

Jongin takes a grateful sip, letting the hot liquid slowly warm him up together with Mable peacefully slumbering on his lap.

„It's Friday, you've got plans as well?“, Sehun asks after a while of quiet sipping and the occasional snores of the little puppy.

Jongin shakes his head and sets his cup down. „Actually I've been invited to some random party but I'm not really in the mood to go out today. It's way too cold and I've got a load of work to do on the weekened so I might as well just keep it calm today.“

Sehun sets down his cup as well. „Talking about a load of work, there's actually something regarding the youth club I'd like to discuss with you.“

„Sure, what is it? Things have been running quite smooth lately haven't they?“

Sehun smiles. „It's nothing bad actually. In fact, it might appeal to you in many ways.“

„Now spill the tea, I'm curious.“

„It's about our annual christmasparty. I wanted to ask if you, Baek and Lay could help me organize some stuff.“

Jongin doesn't think twice. „I'm smelling glogg and some delicious food. Alright, I'm in.“

„It's not like you had a choice anyway“, Sehun chuckles maliciously, patting the tiny little furball on Jongins lap.

The younger inhales sharply as Sehuns hand is way too close to areas he'd rather have him avoiding but he quickly relaxes again as the slender hand withdraws.

Mable huffs a few times at the loss of attention but eventually returns to the state of peaceful sleep.

„You know exams are coming up, from now on until next month I basically always have an excuse, but well, the selfless boy that I am, I'll still do my best.“

Sehun huffs with a cheeky grin. „You know you're such a prick at times Jongin. Get started tomorrow.“

He tilts his head, arching a challenging eyebrow at Jongin. „If you can arrange it.“

Jongin, careful not to drop Mable, shifts in his seat, holding Sehuns intense gaze.

„You're actually lucky I'm such a genius at manging my time. I'll be done in no time.“

As Jongin speaks, Sehun cracks the most vicious smirk Jongin had ever seen. His oh so dark eyes seem to cloud even more and his gaze intensifies to a level Jongin just couldn't hold it anymore.

His heart almost seems to pound outta his chest as he averts his gaze with blushing cheeks.

Only now he realizes his breathing has changed as well.

His chest now heavily moves up and down with trembling breaths emitting from his lips.

„Don't get too full of yourself or else I'll have to take measures.“

The way he talks is nothing like the usual Sehun Jongin knows. His voice is suddenly layered with a dark, husky tone Jongin had never heard before.

A commanding, dominant one.

Goddamn, Jongin never realized this man had such a stunning charisma.

As he tries to calm himself while not making it obvious that he's kind of flustered, Sehun shifts position nd before the younger realizes, Sehun is only a few inches away from his face.

For a short, chest-ripping moment, he just stares into Jongins eyes, then shifts his attention to the tiny puppy.

„Let's do some cleaning before your mom get's home. I don't want her to have to do that late at night.“

In a split second, Sehun is back to his normal, cheerful self, leaving an utterly confused and flustered Jongin on the seat together with his little dog.
