A/N: First off, apologies for being slow with the update. Thanks for the comments, guys!!  I'm kind of in a rush now, so I won't be able to address them directly but I did read them (with a big smile). 

I am making up for the delay by posting a long one and there is also this thing I did (I don't know what to call it). I wonder if you guys can spot my references while you're reading. All I can say is, timing is key XP. Hahaha, it's kind of stupid. 

Anyways, let me know what you guys think of the story or chapter or whatever in the comments section~ (You can also yell at me for being stupid with the mini I-spy thingy ^^)

Danke Shaun for all the comments and subscriptions!!! 

Love,

So Min~

Boy # 1

In SCUTA [An Hour before]

I wonder if there are any squirrels with broken teeth. How do they break? What happens to the squirrels without any teeth? And what if rabbits also had broken teeth? And wha–

"Ahem" Himchan stopped his daydreaming and stared at the woman before him. Since she was short, he could see that behind her, the rest of the class was watching him too. Did I blurt something out loud? Wait...Did she ask me a question? Probably. What could her question be~? 

"From the look of pure confusion on your face, Mr. Himchan, it looks like I'll have to repeat myself. Again." The boy could practically taste Ms. Noh's distaste for him by the way she emphasized each word and rolled her eyes at the same time. "I asked, how your project was going? It's due in a week but I'm sure you know that."

Himchan tried to make his voice as earnest as possible. He didn't need Ms. Noh asking any more questions and if she believed him, he would be able to spend the rest of the class peacefully. "Of course, Ms. Noh." 

He noticed how his teacher seemed a bit surprised at his calm and collected response before she nodded, "I'll be expecting, Himchan ssi." Even though his outward expression remained the same, Himchan had long started panicking. 

Of course I didn't know it was due in a week!! When did you tell us? Wait, does everyone else know? Does that Yongguk know? Has that been doing any work at all? 

Once Ms. Noh started moving her interrogation to another boy, Himchan was free to steal a glance at his stupid partner's direction. Yongguk was intently writing in his notebook and Himchan prayed that it was for their project. He wouldn't know what the other was up to, of course since they hadn't really talked all day. Himchan had taken the bus, again, in the morning and even during lunch, Yongguk hadn't showed up. So the pale boy had spent the period with Jongup and his pale new friend, Junhong—which wasn't a very pleasant experience.

Being the eldest and the most outgoing of the three, Himchan had tried to get to know the new boy – especially since Jongup seemed to like him so much – but the other had kept his responses short and terse. In fact, the older could swear that during certain moments, he found Junhong silently observing and examining almost every inch of his face and body. And if that wasn't weird enough, when Himchan saw and asked Daehyun to come eat with them, Junhong became even colder to him. The younger boy's behavior made Himchan confused and frustrated—only one other person ever did that to him. Himchan unconsciously turned his gaze to Yongguk as he started to mentally rant; everything he could never say to the other out loud.

So you're not even going to talk to me now, is that it? Yongguk? Fine. I don't need you either. I'm tired of always having to cater to your mood swings. And I don't even know why you have them!!! Yes, you give me rides to school and also, supposedly because of you, I don't get bullied or bothered for being gay. But, you have tons of flaws too. Like your mood swings and when we're in your car, you don't let me open the windows. And because you are so scary, I don't even get have many friends! You are blunt and stupid and you only care about sleeping and making me frustrated. I bet you made me your partner just so you could make me miserable but guess what? I'm not going to fall for it. No, mister!! 

Himchan continued to rant in his head while peering at Yongguk's side when he saw the other momentarily stop writing. Yongguk's head, previously dropped low, suddenly perked up and he started nodding. And then, just when things couldn't get any weirder, Himchan saw his friend ex-friend briefly turn in his direction. Though he felt his heart rate quicken, Himchan kept his cool and in the most natural way, pretended to be looking at Daehyun, the boy next to Yongguk. Thankfully, the said boy caught Himchan's gaze too and brightly smiled back. Thank bejeesus for Daehyun!! 

When Yongguk reverted back to his notebook and whatever useless stuff he had on there, Himchan started to work on his own notes. Again, even though Himchan looked fine, he was ecstatic on the inside. He had just proven to Yongguk that he could and did have other people to focus on besides the loser. And this couldn't have happened if not for the tanned boy's excellent eyes that caught on so quickly. Himchan smiled into his notes. I have to treat Daehyun to food for having the best timing. 

Boy # 3

In the cafeteria [3 hours before]

Every so often, when Jongup would look up from his food, he would see Junhong's face in a slight frown. The older would then follow the younger's line of sight and see that it was none other than the oblivious Himchan hyung. 

Aww he's so cute being all jealous of Himchan hyung's friendship with Yongguk. Not that he needs to be since he's way better than that loser in every way. 

Jongup had been thinking and thinking about how to get Himchan hyung to spend some time with Junhong all night long, well, until 10 pm because that was when his mom turned out the lights. And today, the teen had literally skipped a little when he entered the cafeteria with Junhong and that the dreaded Yongguk wasn't latched on to Himchan. In fact, the said loser was nowhere near the vicinity which translated to being very good news for Jongup.

The brunette wasn't surprised to see how shy Junhong was in front of Himchan, only giving one or two word answers and avoiding the latter's eyes for the most part. Junhong wasn't like his Zelo at all in that aspect. Jongup's Zelo was confident and had such spunk that if it wasn't for his baby face, people would assume Jongup to be the younger of the two. In front of Zelo, the older boy could barely opened his mouth since the other was never quiet long enough that Jongup could say a sentence or two. To anyone else, it might've seemed overwhelming to deal with such an enthusiastic kid but Jongup didn't feel tired at all. He longed for Zelo's energy and he thrived under his big, doe-like eyes that gazed at him. After losing the younger, Jongup had tried to be energetic and recreate the same sense of enthusiasm -he had continued to smile even though it hurt his cheeks- but it wasn't the same.

"So, how's school so far? How come you're so pale? I think you're like the only other boy in the whole school that's as pale as me! Oh, and you are in our SCUTA class right? You are a second year?" Jongup heard Himchan ask in one breath and the younger smiled at his hyung. Even though he spoke low, Junhong's higher pitched voice contrasted starkly with Himchan's raspy tone and Jongup easily heard him.

"It's good. I don't why I'm so pale. Yes, I'm in SCUTA too. Yes, I'm a second year."

Junhong made sure to use as little words as possible while also answering each of the questions addressed to him. Jongup thought that his eccentric manner only added to the latter's charm and he hoped that Himchan thought so too. 

Hyung, isn't he super cute? And he's interesting too! Much more than that loser you always talk about.
