Seven:

                                    

                                          
❝mr Na and mr Lee, since you both are failing my class, retaking a test won't save you. I'd rather have you do something together, since the test won't show your intelligence anyway.❞
                          
And so Jaemin and Jeno were seated next to each other, looking over some topics to make a essay of while the teacher went to copy some guides.
                          
Jeno watched as the pink haired flipped the pages of the book and said:
                          
❝nice nails,❞
                          
Jaemin blushed. He had forgotten that he let Jisung paint them. He was about to thank the other when he was interrupted.
                          
❝oh! I meant it as a compliment, your nails really do look nice. Since there's nothing wrong with guys painting nails, i accept tha-❞
                          
❝yeah, thank you.❞ that was Jaemin's way of kindly saying ❛shut up❜ to jeno, as he wasn't embarrassed enoug. 
                          
Although he didn't understand why the black haired would give a compliment or how he even noticed that Jaemin's nails were painted, since the glitter wasn't in many layers, but only one and on each nail there were as much as seven if not more specks of it.
                          
The thought made Jaemin somewhat sad. Since Jaemin never had the chance to give nice comments about the older in any kind of way, Renjun was always the one to take care of him and make the compliments. Maybe indeed that's what has been wrong.
                          
Maybe that's why Renjun liked Jeno, the latter made him feel worth it with those unnecessary sugar-coated compliments.
                          
But the truth was that Jeno noticed Jaemin appearance as the first thing when the latter had ran into class. The oversized pastel blue sweater made the pink haired look much more smaller than he already was and the tight ripped black jeans hugged Jaemin's legs nicely. If Jeno noticed those how hard it was to notice the nails? Or that Jaemin's lips had some gloss on it? Jeno noticed it all, and he himself wasn't sure why he liked to see it all.
                          
Jeno didn't like the silence. It seemed like Jaemin didn't like Jeno one bit, so he didn't try to speak back or at least hold a conversation about the topic of the essay.
                          
Unfortunately Renjun hasn't talked about the pink haired informatively either, so Jeno had no idea what Jaemin would like, and since Jaemin won't speak up what he wants to do then it leaves Jeno no other choice but to do it himself.
                          
❝well, maybe we could make the essay about all kinds of different species of chamomiles? Since that's much more easier than writing about photosynthesis.❞
                          
Jaemin shrugged. It wasn't a bad idea, but knowing their teacher it was possible that he wanted some samples of the flowers, which also would mean that both of them would have to go together and collect them, which was not what Jaemin wanted.
                          
❝i'll take it as a yes. We don't have much time to search any more topics because classes are starting soon, and i doubt you'd want to meet up after school.❞
                          
❝fine, not like we have to meet up any other day.❞ sometimes Jaemin felt like Jeno was dumb, and that moment was one of those.
                          
❝you can go, i guess. I'll talk to the teacher, i have biology first anyway.❞

Renjun sat at his desk with sadness pouring over him. Usually Jaemin sat next to him during geography, but today the boy seemed to be absent. He had waited the whole week for them to be together, though now Renjun was kind of relieved, he wasn't ready to face Jaemin yet.
