[ 🫶²⁸ ] yeonjun's uno reverse.

"say it again," yeonjun pleaded. "i never get tired of hearing it!"

soobin smiled widely.  "you're cute."

"not thatttt, i know that," yeonjun shifted closer to soobin so that their bodies were touching, and slid his arms around soobin's shoulders.

soobin laughed and absentmindedly wrapped an arm around yeonjun's waist.

their foreheads touched, and soobin stared into yeonjun's eyes.

"i love you."

yeonjun giggled shyly and buried his face into soobin's chest, squirming.

soobin brushed at yeonjun's hair, unable to stop smiling.

"alright, i said it," he tapped yeonjun's head, "now you say it."

"say what," yeonjun looked up, leaning his chin on soobin's chest.

"you know what."

"okay fine," he sighed,  "but just one more time."

soobin clapped his hands eagerly as yeonjun sat up, readying himself.

he took a deep breath, then looked over at soobin, holding out a thumbs up. "you did a good job! good, good, good!"

soobin just about died of laughter, rolling around on his side of the bed.

"i don't know why you like my impressions so much," yeonjun shook his head and wrinkled his nose at soobin's cuteness, also laughing.

"do you think they haven't noticed us come in yet," jisung looked to daehwi.

daehwi crossed his arms. "is anyone this bad in your group?"

jisung rolled his eyes. "don't get me started on my group."

daehwi sighed. "do we just leave them or what?"

jisung argued, "they'll get in trouble if they don't show up to the assembly."

"maybe we should just let them get in trouble," daehwi laughed.

"why do we have so many assemblies anyway," yeonjun grumbled as he rolled off the bed and to his feet.

soobin did the same, also looking grumpy that they were interrupted. "we already know what it's gonna be about anyway."

thus the four of them walked to the auditorium together.

it had been a few months since the fallout with wonwoo and mr. lee, long enough for the ex-principal to lose his credentials and job, and for wonwoo to get sentenced.

ms. choi had replaced the principal, and consequently kept her word; jongho, soobin, chris, minho, and the others had returned to school with nothing of their suspensions or expulsions left on their records.

the assembly was supposed to be her announcement of these things, and also that the rules would be changing.

they wouldn't be forced to stay on school property at all times anymore, and the security was done away with. this was strictly to battle against the fact that many students would leave school property anyway, especially during school hours.

she cleared her throat and continued pointedly, "also, our poor janitor has begged me to tell you all that the supply closets are forbidden access to students. he would very much like to enter them without fearing for his sanity."

everyone laughed at this, and yeonjun looked over at soobin to see him red-faced, humiliated.

yeonjun elbowed him lightly. "aw, too bad. the closet was a nice place to hang out, huh, binnie?"
