jinyoung: are you alright?

jackson: yeah, why

jinyoung: i saw you getting dumped outside the west wing's lecture hall

jinyoung: that was a hard slap you received

jinyoung: is your face okay?

jackson: oh

jackson: you saw

jinyoung: yeah, i saw

jinyoung: with my 20/20 vision

jackson: you find this amusing, don't you?

jinyoung: i never said i did

jackson: you absolutely do

jinyoung: what did you do?

jackson: i rejected her.

jinyoung: so you weren't dumped

jinyoung: but why?

jackson: it was either i go out with her and lead her on, or i let her down gently

jinyoung: gently?

jinyoung: but you were slapped, so clearly it wasn't gentle enough

jackson: why do you care?

jackson: as you always say, it's none of your business

jinyoung: it's none of my business but it was funny to see you get slapped like that

[18:56]

jinyoung: did i overstep my boundaries?

[19:20]

jinyoung: i'm sorry, i really didn't mean to make fun of you getting hurt like that

jinyoung: well, that's a lie. i absolutely did mean to make fun of you, and it would also be a lie if i didn't laugh about it

jinyoung: but i shouldn't have

jinyoung: it was just funny, you know

[20:05]

jinyoung: that was clearly the wrong thing to say

[22:12]

jinyoung: i'm sorry

jinyoung: but i'm trying, so A for effort, right?

jackson: you asked jaebeom? for my locker number? wow.

jackson: but anyways, that's not the point. why did you donate your jacket to me after i washed it and returned it to you?

jinyoung: it's not a donation, you walnut

jinyoung: did you not look at the note?

jackson: you say this thing didn't cost much but i'm pretty fucking sure it did

jackson: like, look at the quality and the material??

jackson: holy shit

jackson: i shouldn't be the one being the sugar daddy, you should be

[15:30]

jinyoung: if this is how you show your gratitude then give the jacket back to me, my one's getting old anyways; i could really use a new one

[17:43]

jackson: just because i say you shouldn't have given it to me doesn't mean i'm not going to keep it

jackson: no take backs

An idiotic smile hangs on his face as he reads Jackson's text over and over again; it takes a yell in his ear to get him to startle out of it. He almost drops his phone to the floor from the scare.

"What the fuck?" he snaps when Mark lowers himself into the seat next to him. He rubs at his ear, scowling at Mark.

What is he trying to do, make him deaf?

"Who are you texting?" Mark asks, gesturing at Jinyoung's phone. "Are you dating someone or something? Your smile is so big, it's almost scary to witness."

"Shut up," Jinyoung mutters, sliding his phone into his pocket. "And I'm not dating anyone. It's my partner for my assignment."

"Oh, that one? The media elective, right?"

"Yeah, that one."

"Damn. Are they nice?"

"They're... Alright." Jinyoung grimaces as the word slips out of his mouth. He can't believe he's calling Jackson alright. He's far from alright; that right old prat belongs in the dungeons. He can't believe he's smiling over his texts. Is he becoming fond of him? He shivers slightly at the thought.

That can't be. He simply won't allow it.

Quickly, he fishes his phone out of his pocket and navigates to his and Jackson's messages, quickly keying in a message and pressing send.

[17:59]

jinyoung: this is why i don't like you

a/n: I don't think I mentioned this but I'm basing their university schedule from my own university schedule this year, and as I live in Australia, things might operate a bit differently in terms of the semesters, etc.
