"You passed?"

 

Jaebum asks with an obvious teasing tone, acting as if he couldn't really believe what his friend was saying right now.

 

" you, Im! What do you think of me, huh?!"

 

Jackson said while smiling, playfully hitting his friend with his book.

 

"Isn't just unbelievable? You're always getting on that professor's nerves, she kicked you out a few times and you didn't even pass any of her exams and yet you passed? What miracles have you done, seriously?"

 

Jaebum spoke. It's not that he's getting all so bitter about his friend passing that subject despite him being a big black sheep for that professor, he just really couldn't believe it and he just finds it really funny.

 

"Believe it or not, I really did nothing!"

 

Jackson said in defeat while chuckling, throwing his hands in the air.

 

"Yow, what's up!"

 

Both Jaebum and Jackson shifted their heads at the new comers once they heard that familiar voice. The three younger guys immediately sit down beside their hyungs at the lounge once they reached them.

 

"What are you guys doing here?"

 

Jaebum asks since their campus was surely far from here and they don’t usually visit them, it was often Jaebum and Jackson visiting them all.

 

"You sounded like you didn't really want us here?"

 

Youngjae said as he clings at his boyfriend's arm, pouting and trying to be cute.

 

"You know that's not true."

 

Jaebum answered as he places a kiss on his forehead.

 

"Aren't you guys supposed to be in class during this hours?"

 

Jackson asks after quickly checking the time on his wrist watch. It's not that they didn't want them here, it's just they find it so weird that they were indeed visiting them since it was never the case. These guys were just too lazy to walk some distance or even take a short ride.

 

"Okay fine, then we're just going!"

 

Bammie playfully said as he started standing up pulling Youngjae and Yugyeom with him.

 

"What the heck? We didn't mean it that way?"

 

Jackson said while laughing a bit, pulling them back on their seats.

 

"Okay seriously, what's up?"

 

Jaebum asks again.

 

"Nothing much really, it’s just our professor got really mad at the whole class and then she kind of kick us all out so now we have three hours of vacancies,"

 

Bammie explained, not even taking it seriously.

 

"Really? That was insane!"

 

"Yeah, so we thought why not check the other hyungs at their campus since they're on a second break and we still have a lot of time?"

 

Youngjae added.

 

"It's a surprise though. You guys never dared to work your asses out to go here before?"

 

Jaebum said while chuckling. Putting his arms on the younger's shoulder beside him.

 

"Well, people change?"

 

Bammie said sounding a bit sarcastic. Earning a playful smack at the head by his Jackson hyung at his side.

 

"What're you guys talking about earlier anyway? I heard something like Jackson hyung doing miraculous thing or something?"

 

"You aren't doing something illegal behind Mark hyung right?"

 

Youngjae added and both him and Bammie throws their hyung a suspicious look.

 

The hyungs couldn't help but exchanges some looks and started chuckling after it.

 

"Kill me now if I did."

 

Jackson spoke, just telling pure truths because he's too head over heels for that Tuan to even cheat.

 

"We're just talking about one of our subjects. Jackson passed it without literally doing anything?"

 

Jaebum explained, starting to laugh again, making the other guys laughing too.

 

"He did some inside business,"

 

Bammie said as he gives his hyung a mischievous look that instantly earns him another playful smack at the head.

 

"I don't swing that way! Specially with the older ladies,"

 

He said and cringes on his own with the thought of it.

 

"She won't be passing you without a reason though?"

 

Youngjae said, getting curious about it too.

 

"Isn't that girl from the other day her niece?"

 

Jaebum reminded his friend when he suddenly remembers that a girl suddenly approaches them yesterday while being shy and all as she gave Jackson a letter that the other didn't even seem to remember now because he just slips it inside his bag, not even intending to read it. He just took it because he didn't want to hurt her feelings.

 

"Ah!" All of them and even some of the students at the lounge snaps their heads up at Jackson when he suddenly beams. "Right! That was her niece!"

 

"Did she pleaded her to passed you?"

 

Jaebum analyzes, while Jackson seems to be thinking about it.

 

"Woah! So cool!"

 

Bammie commented because it's just cool at the same time insane that someone would have the power to passed a college student just because she like the guy? Or that her niece like the guy?

 

"If that's the case, then I think she did hyung?"

 

Youngjae said.

 

"Wouldn't that be dangerous though?" Jaebum said as he suddenly thought of something, "What if she uses it to hold you back?"

 

"Good point." Jackson said, now turning a bit serious as he thought of it, "Should I talk to her?"

 

"Yeah, you should tell her to stop, it wasn't really a nice act of impressing your crush anyway,"

 

Youngjae agreed.

 

"Wait, if you tell her that then you'll definitely fail that subject? Wouldn't it be more complicated for you hyung since your graduation is just a few more kicks from now?"

 

Bammie added and they all started to be so quiet. Trying to figure out what should they do to help their friend and to revive that subject without depending or using anyone. Especially now that they're graduation are just around the corner and they should be really taking everything now seriously more than before since they're final grades would sentence them if they'll be able to graduate or not. Jaebum doesn't really have much of a problem since he's excelling with everything, Mark and Jinyoung at their college wouldn't have much of an issue since they're just all diligent. It was only him who's seemingly about to step on fire with this one freaking subject. Jackson suddenly regretted not taking that subject seriously.

 

'Well, if the professor was always mad at you for almost everything then how would you even have the slightest bit of will to take it seriously?'

 

He thought, suddenly feeling annoyed because that professor just seems to be making him a stress ball, pouring out all of her stress and frustration on him.

 

"But it's totally wrong, Bammie. You shouldn't use someone for you to benefit, especially if there's a big possibility that they might be hurt by it."

 

"I know that, it's just that I'm nervous for Jackson hyung? What if he didn't get to march on time because of that one subject?"

 

"You're too paranoid? There's still other ways? He should try talking with that professor for it? Or ask for some special projects?"

 

Youngjae suggested. While Jaebum and Jackson was just listening to them taking everything into consideration.

 

"What if she really asks for some special projects? 'That' kind of special project?"

 

Bammie said as he started smiling mischievously while quoting 'that' with his fingers. Youngjae immediately gives him a straight face as he playfully reaches for his hair and pulls it.

 

" you, we're being serious here, Bammie!"

 

Youngjae said and they all started laughing, except for that youngest guy who doesn't even seem to be there since he's too quiet and just too absorbed with his phone.

 

"Okay let's go back on being serious," the younger said after fixing his hair again, "What do you really want to do about it hyung?"

 

"I don't know? You were right that I'll definitely fail it if I told her niece that and it might even delay me at the graduation, but Youngjae is right too, it wasn't even right in the first place even if you turn it into different angles,"

 

"And think about, Mark?" Jaebum speaks. Jackson immediately looks at him when he mentioned his boyfriend's name. "How do you think will he react to that? Both from you failing or using that girl or being delayed at the graduation?"

 

He said and Jackson seriously turns more serious than before. He suddenly got afraid of what Mark would say about it if he found out? Specially, Mark was really dreaming of them graduating together. He couldn't bear to ruin that and he just feels so scared by just thinking about it. Also, his parents were rooting for him, he couldn't fail them.

 

". What should I do?"

 

Jackson cussed as he started brushing his hands on his face, slowly getting stressed over it.

 

"Talk to the professor and talk to her niece,"

 

Youngjae suggested.

 

"And probably apologize to her? I mean, I know it wasn't mostly your fault and she's just being so unreasonable sometimes, but a single apology wouldn't hurt specially if your graduation is at stake?"

 

Jaebum added.

 

"Just be true and sincere hyung, she'll spare you some mercy, I'm sure of that,"

 

Bammie said as he puts his arms on his hyung's shoulder pulling him closer to cheer him up.

 

"Okay." Jackson agreed, after all he didn't have a choice anyway, "Can you guys keep it from Mark for now?"

 

He asks with hopeful eyes and the guys only nodded their heads.

 

"I'll go talk to her now, please wish me luck."

 

He said as he finally stood up and grabs his bag at his back. The guys started wishing him good luck as he started walking away from them too, making his way to that girl's room.

 

"He'll be fine, right?"

 

Youngjae asks as Jackson was finally out of their sight.

 

"He's, Wang Jackson, he'll be fine no matter what,"

 

Jaebum said and they just all let out a sigh.

 

"What's up with Gyeommie anyway? Why are you so quiet right there?"

 

Jaebum asks when he noticed that he never heard him talk since they got here. He almost even forgot he was there with them.

 

All eyes shifted at the younger boy beside them as they watch him focusing on his phone. He had been on his phone since morning and they didn't even know why? He was responding when they're asking him anyway and he didn't seem that sad to the point that he'd be breaking down again just like before, so Youngjae and Bammie just shrugged it off and lets him.

 

"Eh?"

 

Yugyeom hummed as a response, still not tearing off his eyes on his phone.

 

"Are you texting Jinyoung?"

 

The older asks and the younger only nodded his head to confirm it, letting out a small groan after reading that text that seems to be from Jinyoung.

 

"Dude, is everything alright?"

 

Bammie asks now getting concerned because the younger was getting a lot more stressed about it than before.

 

Yugyeom lets out a deep sigh as he finally tears his eyes on his phone and locks it for a while, brushing his hand on his face as if he was trying to calm himself or something.

 

"Are you having a fight with Jinyoung hyung?"

 

Youngjae asks and Yugyeom only shrugged his shoulders before speaking.

 

"No...not really...I mean...I don't know?"

 

He said, now scratching the back of his head as he didn't freaking know what is up with them today.

 

"I don't get it. Do you guys get it?"

 

Bammie said getting confused with what he was saying. Both Youngjae and Jaebum started shaking their heads.

 

"What is exactly happening with the both of you? Is he mad or what?"

 

Jaebum asks, trying to pick it up by bits.

 

"I don't know,"

 

Yugyeom answered as he stares at his phone's black screen. Pouting and seemingly so bothered about something.

 

"Okay, dude, we couldn't really help you if you won't be going to tell us what is up?"

 

Bammie spoke, scratching the back of his head too as he didn't even know what to do about his friend.

 

"I just..." Yugyeom started, trying to figure it out but he really can't, so he just ended up letting out another frustrated groan before continuing, "I just don't know what's up too okay?"

 

He said, his voice sounding a bit stressful already as he lets out another deep sigh.

 

His friends are just watching him, just waiting for him to talk because they couldn't seriously understand him right now.

 

"I mean... we're all fine before...and maybe fine now too, but... I just don't know what's up that he'd suddenly turns so... cold or something? It happened once yesterday and I thought were good now this morning but then...I just don't know why he was at it again right now? He just keeps on being so quiet and... he'll just snap at me if I keep on asking him and I don't want that?"

 

Yugyeom tried to explained despite him not really understanding it. He just seriously didn't know what to do anymore? It's not that Jinyoung was yelling at him or pushing him away, he doesn't even seem that mad or something. He'll just suddenly turned too quiet for Yugyeom's liking and he couldn't help but be so bothered about it. Jinyoung would just told him it's nothing when he's asking him then he'll snaps saying 'just stop asking,' when the younger started digging on it. He was like that yesterday too when they've met at the parking lot after he waited for Jinyoung at the basketball court. That night the younger notice that even though he was replying to his messages, it obviously seems so cold and short. He just lets him because he didn't want him to be mad, and so just this morning he thought it's already fine since Jinyoung was back at smiling at him, but he just freaking don't know what is up again that after their lunch earlier, he was totally back on being cold again, even more quiet this time. Yugyeom even felt bad that Jinyoung goes inside his room being a little irritated since they had a little confrontation about it when he walks him there after lunch, he was just trying to ask him again what is wrong but Jinyoung only snaps at him, though he didn't yell or what, Yugyeom knows he was annoyed and irritated. He keeps on texting him too like the usual, checking on him and stuffs and he didn't know if he was just really busy right now or he just really didn’t want to answer him, and it was ing bothering his whole being.

 

"So he's mad at you?"

 

Youngjae asks.

 

"I don't really know? I'm not sure...I don't even know what I did wrong this time?"

 

Yugyeom said, just fiddling with his locked phone on his hands.

 

"That's...complicated?"

 

Bammie said, not really sure what is wrong with his Jinyoung hyung to give their friend such headache.

 

"Have you thought of the things you did lately? Maybe you unconsciously did something he didn't want?"

 

Jaebum asks, being the only one who's trying to work his brain out right now.

 

"I already did reflect if I did something he didn't really want and there's some but we already talked it out before he could even have turned like that?"

 

He said. He actually did reflect on his own if he did something stupid again, but as he thought of it, he really did some. One is that thing yesterday about announcing their thing on his mom, but they already talked about that, and another one was when Jinyoung thought he hides his books, but he doesn't really seem mad at him during that time? They were even hugging and stuffs. So that couldn't be the reason right? He just keeps on thinking and thinking what else did he do for him to be like that, his head actually feels like throbbing already.

 

"Since when did he start being like that?"

 

Jaebum asks, digging on it a little bit more while Bam and Youngjae was just quiet on the side, totally giving up about figuring it out.

 

"Yesterday?"

 

"What're you doing that time?"

 

"Well...I was just waiting for him to finish his stuffs, I went to the court to play basketball for a while...then he just gave me call and he already sounds cold or pissed? We met at the parking lot and he's just too quiet the whole ride...he didn't even want to look at me..."

 

Yugyeom answered, his shoulders dying down as he speaks.

 

"You just play basketball?"

 

Jaebum asks and the younger only nodded his head.

 

"Maybe, he doesn't want you playing basketball?"

 

Bammie said, earning a look of disbelief from Youngjae.

 

"That's ridiculous!"

 

"We'll never know? Jinyoung hyung hates many things! What if it's one of those?"

 

"I don't think, Jinyoung hyung is that of an unreasonable being to be cold at Gyeommie over a damn basketball?"

 

"What if, Youngjae! I was saying what if, okay?"

 

Jaebum just lightly patted his boyfriend's lap trying to gesture him to just let it go before he could even make another snide at his friend. Youngjae only rolls his eyes, deciding to just shuts his mouth before they started bickering again.

 

"You sure you didn't do anything before that?"

 

Jaebum asks again. Yugyeom thinks about it for a while and just slightly shakes his head as he couldn't really remember doing anything aside from that.

 

"Then how about today? When did he turned like that?"

 

"After lunch,"

 

"We just ate lunch and then he's at it again after that?"

 

Jaebum asks in disbelief, suddenly having that urge to smack that senior's head for being this stressful. Yugyeom only nodded his head, pouting even more with the thought of it.

 

'What the heck is his problem?'

 

Jaebum thought. Suddenly being quiet at his seat as he tries thinking about it even more.

 

"You really sure, you didn't do anything?"

 

"Aish! Hyung, I told you I didn't do anything! I don't know okay? I don't even have a single ing idea!" Yugyeom slightly snaps, startling the other guys beside him as they started giving him a confused look. The younger only lets out a deep sigh before speaking again, "Sorry..."

 

He apologizes and started sulking on his own.

 

"Alright. Uh..." Jaebum speaks, scratching the back of his head still a little bit shocked about the younger snapping like that, "Are you playing alone yesterday at the court?"

 

He asks, thinking if maybe, this problem involves other people and not just them?

 

"I was alone for a while before Jungkook sort of passes by and joined me,"

 

The three other guys immediately shifted their heads at him when he mentioned that name, suddenly giving light to this seemingly un-logical issue.

 

"Jungkook? You mean, Jeon Jungkook? That junior rep?"

 

Yugyeom only nodded his head.

 

"Did he know you're with Jungkook yesterday?"

 

"Yeah,"

 

"You told him?"

 

"He was asking about that when he called me, why would I even lie?"

 

"Oh..."

 

Jaebum said, now starting to chuckle as he finally got a hint of it.

 

'Silly.'

 

He thought. Now remembering that they also have the junior rep around earlier at lunch because Yugyeom invited him to their table and even asks him to hang out with them some other time.

i kinda frustrated when you made Jinyoung super duper tsundere in this story skjsjsk i guess that's Park jinyoung for you, he speaks through his eyes, his eyes speak everything, and of course the pure and kind Gyeomie, props to him for putting a lot of patience for Jinyoung really his patience is as wide as pacific ocean gaah even i'm mad at him sometimes skshsj but nevertheless they really deeply in love with each other that's why they could face every problem that came through, i really love the story you wrote, i love in the beginning it started really sweet and i love the kind of story when they got teased by their friend a lot and ot5 just supporting and having their back, and the whole confession thing it's just so cute! the fact that 160k only just for one month of their love story imagine a whole year or everyday life bruuh i'm down for that if you decided to make a sequel or something, i would read all of that even if it had a million words!
