School had started up again a couple of weeks ago and Jaemin was not having it. For some profound reason, his teachers decided to give him and his classmates 5 pop quizzes in the span of 2 ½ weeks. If Jaemin ever found what crack his teachers were taking, he'd want some.

"Mark~" The honey-haired boy whines and slumps over his friend's shoulder, making Mark grunt under the weight.

"What~" Mark repeats, rolling his eyes and packing up his gym bag.

Jaemin hits his shoulder. "Don't mock me, Mork Lee." But the older boy only laughs and carries on with packing his things. "Anyways!" Jaemin stands up straight once more and follows his friend out of the school. "Chenle and I were talking the other day, and Lucas hyung's puppy has started training now. Chenle said he was happy that his shoes weren't covered in dog pee anymore." Mark chuckles at the story, his eyes now focused down at his phone.

"Hyuk is by the school gate..." He reads further into the text. "And he says... 'so is that stranger-next-to-Jaemin guy'..." Jaemin chokes on his spit, remembering exactly what Donghyuk meant. Mark raises an eyebrow at his friend. "You...alright there bud?" He pats Jaemin's back, letting him calm down.

"Y-yup! Just aha- Just fine." He smiles to prove his point. Mark nods slowly.

"You really worry me sometimes." He smirks and begins to run towards the gates as soon as he sees Jaemin's irritated face.

"Fuck you, Lee."

Laughing, Mark quickly hides behind his boyfriend. "Not my job sorry!" His laughs soon turn into shrieks as Jaemin bolts after him.

"You asshole!"

"Hyuk! Save me!" But Donghyuk only shakes his head, a small smile on his face as he watches his boyfriend get attacked by Jaemin.

"Don't save him Hyuk- AH!" Jaemin's brutal chase was cut short thanks to someone lifting him off of Mark. "Whoever this is I will kick you in the groin and shove my foot up your ass!" He threatens, the person's hold too tight for him to turn and see who it is.

"That's not very nice to say to your boyfriend. Now stop trying to kill your friend." Jeno chuckles, gently placing Jaemin back onto the solid ground. The teen grumbles a few curses and brushes the dust of his jacket before sending a glare to Mark. The boy just smirks, points to Jeno and mouths 'It's his job to fuck you.'

"MARK LEE YOU ARE SO DEAD!"

"I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!"

Jeno turns to his eldest brother, a concerned look on his face. "Doyoung hyung..."

Looking up from his book, Doyoung smiles. "Hm?"

"Did I do something to annoy dad? He's been giving me the cold shoulder for weeks now."

"I don't think so....did something happen with Jaemin that he might have figured out?"

Jeno shakes his head. "I don't let anything slip. As far as he knows, Jaemin is just Chan's babysitter and my friend."
