Today is the third day of Jeno and Donghyuck's punishment, but instead of Jaemin, the other student council member Jisung is watching Jeno. Jaemin is currently in a meeting with the secretary of the student council to discuss the three-planting program that will take place next week.

Chenle proposed it, and Jaemin liked his idea, so he immediately wrote a letter for the project proposal.

"Jisung-ah, what are they going to talk about?"

The younger one turned to look at Jeno after asking. "Hm?"

"Meeting." Jeno muttered.

"Ahh, I think the meeting is all about three-planting. Chenle found some places that usually having floods after heavy rains and told Jaemin hyung about it. Jaemin hyung didn't even hesitate and agreed with him right away." Jisung explained proudly.

Jeno couldn't help but find Jaemin and Chenle impressive and cool. The school is not the only thing they are concerned, but they are also concerned about the environment. They were only seniors, but they were already planning such an activity. And for Jeno, that’s really cool.

"Not one, but four distinct locations. I'm curious what they intend to do." Jisung rubbed his chin, and he appears to be thinking deeply, as does Jeno. Being a student council officer isn't really his thing, but he was intrigued by their school-related projects.

"Are we included, or only the officers of the student council?" He asked curiously.

"We'll see what happens after the meeting." The younger replied honestly, still smiling at his cousin. Jeno nodded and went back to cleaning.

Jeno is doing fine, behaving like he usually does but Donghyuck seems not because apparently, he's with Mark again.

"It's still dirty here" The vice president then pointed out to the other side that Donghyuck hasn't started cleaning yet.

"I know and I'm not done. Can you shut up?" The younger couldn't help but respond angrily. His day was already ruined by seeing his face, and now this bastard is adding fuel to the fire.

"I'm just saying. You might want to skip that part if you want to finish early. That's a form of cheating, you know?" Mark smirked at the younger as he followed him.

Donghyuck gave him a death glare. He was tempted to argue with him, but he restrained himself. If he really did start arguing with Mark and couldn't stop himself, his punishment might be extended, which he doesn't want to happen. Donghyuck simply needs to stay strong a little longer. After all, everything has an end.

"Right?"

"Stay away from me. If you don't stop talking nonsense, I might hit you with this ing mop on your annoying face. How many times should I repeat myself that I didn't mean it and I apologized already? My friend didn't even make it a big deal, but you? It's not even your business but you're so affected?"

Right, Donghyuck knew that he's wrong and admitted it already, but this guy here keeps reminding him about it. He keeps making him feel guilty all over again and it's not right anymore. Donghyuck thinks that he's crossing the line.

He couldn't believe it until now that he used to like this guy here. He used to think he was the sweetest person because he was always smiling and approachable. Students couldn't help but compare him to Jaemin because he was always with him. People like to greet Mark because he is approachable and friendly, not to mention that he is also good looking, and he is always willing to assist others. Jaemin, on the other hand, is the polar opposite of him. He doesn't smile much, and he has an icy look in his eyes that makes him intimidating. Despite this, he acknowledges everyone who greets him, even if most of them are unaware. He is also trustworthy and always willing to help too. Will he become president if he is not?

Donghyuck's bad mood worsened when he heard the older's giggles behind him.

"What are you laughing at? Do you think it's funny?"

Mark shook. "Nothing. For a brief moment, I thought you were cute." He then turned away from the younger to look for a chair to sit on.

After hearing that, the younger's brow furrowed, and he looked at him weirdly. He chose to ignore Mark because he thought he looked crazy and that’s the best thing he can do to calm himself. If he still has feelings for Mark, he'll be on cloud nine right now because they were together. However, this is not the case anymore because he’s not that stupid.

Jeno went to the washroom after lunch to wash his hands. His friends returned to their classroom immediately after eating their lunch. He hasn't seen Jaemin in a while. Perhaps he's still busy, and Jeno will be cleaning the ground again because it's still siesta time. It's written in the rules that they have to clean their respective areas every break, and that's exactly what he'll do after washing.

"Hey, I ran into Jaemin earlier and forgot to wear my ID," the male student stated to his friend. They were right next to Jeno. "And he scolded me. For ’s sake, what am I? A child? He's so ing annoying. I'm sure he's not that good either. Why is he trying to be perfect? What a ing hypocrite." He cursed before washing his hands as well.

"Well, that's his job. But I'm sure he's just like the others, he has an ugly side that he's trying to hide by staring at us coldly like that!" the other guy said, and they all burst out laughing.

"He's a teacher's pet. So ugly."

"And he still has good grades. Bro, he's not even attending some classes."

"Maybe, he's bribing the teachers."

Jeno clenched his jaw as he abruptly turned off the faucet. He's not close to Jaemin but hearing that made him irritated for some reasons.

“Whatever Jaemin has today, he earned that through hard work. He doesn't attend classes very often because he is too preoccupied with school projects and meetings.” Jeno stated sternly as he lo
