eleven

Jungwon carefully shut the door of the classroom as he made his way to his assigned desk in the very back, along with Jake and Riki. Chemistry was one of the periods that he didn't share with Iseul, unfortunately.

After a fun and energizing weekend, the idea of being stuck in multiple classrooms for the next few hours didn't really surpass him. Taking his seat, he greeted the other boys before taking out his books and writing down the notes on the board as the teacher explained.

"I'm bored," Riki mumbled while he mindlessly clicked his pen, not caring about the lesson. "We should do something after school."

"Yeah, we could go to the arcade." Jake chimed in while dropping his pen. "I heard they have some new games."

Jungwon snorted, "The day just started and you two are already talking about after school." He continued to copy his notes, noticing how Jake finished.

"It's called pre-planning." Riki retorted while Jake hummed along. "Are you gonna join us?"

He nodded. It's not like he had anything else to do with there being no rugby practice. He didn't have any plans with Iseul anyway, so the arcade seemed like an entertaining way to spend his day. "Sure."

"Really?!" Jake gawked, barely able to comprehend the words that came out of his mouth and if they were true or not.

This only earned him a weirded out stare from the dimpled boy, finding his reaction a little dramatic. "What...?"

"N...no it's just, I didn't think you'd agree..." He replied while still staring agape. Beside him Riki could be heard trying to hold in his laugh but failing miserably - Jungwon forwardly becoming a victim of it's results. They burst into laughter while Jake overreacted.

Jake rolled his eyes at the two. "Quit laughing, I just thought you would be hanging out with Iseul."

Toning down, Riki found his senses as he agreed with the latter, "Yeah, you guys usually hang around together. Did something happen between you two?"

"What?! No - why would something happen between us?" This mere question had left him flabbergasted. "Just because we might not always hang out doesn't mean we aren't friends, Riki."

"Oh." The younger was left slightly dumfounded. "I'm just used to always seeing you two together." With a shrug he make another decision to start on his notes.

"Yeah," Jake joined, "It wouldn't surprise anyone if you two were actually dating - ow! What was that for?!"

Before he could properly finish his sentence, a smack had landed on the back of his head. He faced Jungwon, the source, while rubbing the pain out to smooth the spot.

"Don't say stuff like that." Was all he said in a defensive tone.

"But it's true!" Jake reasoned, "You guys have known each other since birth, it's bound to happen."
