"okay, everyone shut up and listen." the art teacher clapped his hands and read the list. "so we're going to be drawing each other today. you have three weeks to finish the assignment, in any style but not mess up. i will name the people now."

taeyong's breathe hitched when his name was called. "taeyong with.. doyoung. doyoung, you'll be doing the same with taeyong. start now."

"well, look who i'm with." doyoung muttered as he was seated next to taeyong, the other male rolling his eyes.

"oh shut up." taeyong started to sketch, already thinking what he's going to do. he didn't know why but he really focused on it. doyoung glanced at taeyong and saw him putting while concentrating. still the same.

"taeyong." the said male hummed, not taking his eyes off the canvas. "do you still hate me?" taeyong's hand stopped its action.

"do you?" doyoung watched taeyong as he shakily placed his pencil down, letting out a sigh.

"doyoung. let's not talk about this in class." taeyong picked up the pencil and started to sketch again when doyoung spoke.

"then just talk to me after class. after school." taeyong was about to say something when the bell rang.

"doyoung-" before he could call him out, doyoung went to his other class.

needs to be handed.

taeyong's art piece was not going so well. with doyoung in his mind and everything he's been through with doyoung.

"goddamn it." taeyong sighed, earning a weird look from ten. "yong. you've been letting out sighs for god knows how many times. if you still like him, just tell him."

"sure, after i said i hate his guts in front of his face? i'll definitely have the balls to do that." taeyong snickered and crossed his arms.

"then i don't know." ten placed down his phone. "look, if doyoung wanted to talk to you, that wouldn't mean he want to be just friends again. he even asked first if you still hate him. give the guy a chance."

1 week before the assignment needs to be handed.

"ten, tell me if this sucks." taeyong turned the canvas around and showed it to the thai male.

the canvas was a painting, a fanart style of doyoung leaning against a cherry blossom tree, the petals looking like they were about to fall with some already falling. it was absolutely beautiful.

"and you did this in a week?" taeyong smiled proudly and nodded. "and you're gonna give this to doyoung? are you finally giving him a chance?"

"well." taeyong sighed and placed the canvas down gently. "i've been thinking about it and maybe i could give him a chance."

ten smiled. "atta boy! go get some!"

"okay, everyone has their assignment, am i right?" once everyone said yes, the teacher smiled. for once everyone did their shits. "i have a meeting to attend so behave yourselves. exchange your assignments with the person you got!"

once the teacher left, taeyong looked down at his art piece. he sighed before walking up to doyoung, about to explode from nervousness.

"doyoung." the said male looked up and was given a canvas. "holy.. taeyong?"

he saw the latter's signature on the bottom right and looked up to see taeyong. "the assignm-ment. also, can we talk? please?"

doyoung looked around and once he saw everyone minding their own businesses so he nodded. taeyong sat down next to doyoung, timidly.

"i-i'll give you a chance." doyoung looked up, taeyong smiled. "it maybe a little late b-but if you want to start over we can-" doyoung cut him off and hugged him tightly, earning some attentions from others.

"thank you. thank you so much." taeyong saw other people staring at him but then, they all gave him a thumbs up. "d-doyoung. people are staring at us."

doyoung pulled away and stared at taeyong's eyes, before pressing their lips together. taeyong's eyes widened as doyoung's arms wrapped around his small waist.

cheers in the classroom along with claps and whistles were heard from their classmates as taeyong kissed back, fluttering his eyes shut while his hand played with doyoung's hair.

"let's continue this at home shall we?"

"d-doyoung, wait- hmm." taeyong was cut off when doyoung kissed him passionately, closing the door behind him before pinning taeyong against the door, both breathless.

"d-doyoung.." doyoung watched as taeyong panted, trying to catch his breathe, his lips slight swollen.

"i love you." doyoung panted as well and kissed taeyong's forehead.

"i love you too."
