Chapter 12

"I want to meet with him." The Faerie King told him. "To discuss."

"Discuss?" Winwin said, raising an eyebrow. The king nodded.

"I heard my daughter is fooling around with a werewolf." The king said, clearly unhappy with the thought.

Jeno?

The king shook his head, shaking the thought away. "Anyways, I just wanted to talk to Mr. Moon about his students mingling. He should have better control over them."

Winwin tried so hard not to scoff. The Academy was created so we mingle and learn to live together.

It was clear that the king had old school thoughts and there was no point arguing so Winwin just nodded his head.

"I'll let him know and we can arrange a meeting when he has time." Winwin said to the Faerie King.

The king nodded his head in approval, dismissing him. Winwin gave him a bow before opening a faerie door to bring him back.

Sleep at last, Winwin thought as he entered his room but was scared out of his mind when he saw Lucas in there, casually sitting on Winwin's bed, flipping through on of his fashion. "What are you doing here?"

"I was bored." Lucas said, skimming the page. "And wanted to play on your computer but I forgot the password. Also, you should start locking the door."

Winwin rolled his eyes before sitting down in front of his huge gaming setup, logging in for Lucas. "Should I make you a spare key then?"

Lucas grinned as he made his way to Winwin's chair, tossing the magazine to the side. The older male heading to the closet to change for the night.

Winwin pulled a black hoodie and sweatpants out, already hearing the sounds of his keyboard. He glanced over and Lucas was already focused on the screen.

Winwin sighed as he decided to change into comfortable clothes. Once he finished, he threw his dirty clothes in the laundry basket before plopping onto his bed, going through the magazine Lucas was looking at earlier.

Seconds later, Winwin heard the sounds that signalled the end of a game. He looked up to see Lucas running his hands through his hair.

"Lost already?" Winwin asked, even though he already knew the answer.

"Yup." Lucas said, popping the "p." "Your default game is too hard."

Winwin smiled to himself. "Lower it then."

"No!" Lucas quickly replied. "I'll beat it one day."

"Sure." Winwin said, flipping through the pages of the magazine. He sighed, deciding to put it down. He saw that Lucas had spun around, turned away from the computer.

"Where were you anyways?" Lucas asked, resting his chin in his hands, elbows in his knees.

Guess he's done playing for now.

"Faerie council meeting." Winwin told him.

"Yeah, but you were gone longer than usual." Lucas pointed out.

That was true. Normally, Winwin would already be back in time to open his door for Lucas.

"The king asked me about Taeil. He wanted a meeting because he doesn't like Jiwoo and Jeno together." Winwin replied. Lucas' eyes were wide.

"He said that?" Lucas exclaimed. Winwin shook his head.

"Of course not. But he sure did imply it." Winwin answered.

"Damn, I didn't know the Faerie King was so strict about his kids dating." Lucas said, leaning back into the chair. Winwin shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess it's because he wasn't too happy about Jaehwa and Seungmin." Lucas' eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, gege, can you keep a secret?" Lucas asked.

"I mean, it depends on what it is." Winwin replied. Lucas went on internal debate with himself before deciding to tell Winwin.

"Well, I actually went to Jungwoo's room before this." Lucas told him. "And you know how I don't really knock and just enter?"

"Yeah, it's a terrible habit, don't do that." Winwin said, scolding the boy. Lucas just gave him a sheepish grin before letting it fade.

"Well, I honestly don't think I'll be doing that anymore." Lucas told his friend.

"Why?" Winwin asked.

Lucas took a deep breath, staring at his fingertips.

"Well, because when I entered, Jungwoo was pushed off his bed and onto the floor." Lucas told him.

Winwin covered his mouth as he let out a small laugh. "Who pushed him off?"

Lucas looked into Winwin's eyes. "Sejung. They were cuddling."

Winwin's eyes widened, the smile falling from his face as he realized what that meant. "You mean?"

Lucas nodded his head.

"I think Jungwoo and Sejung are dating."

...

"You that hurt." Jungwoo said, narrowing his eyes as he rubbed his shoulder. Sejung ran hand through her hair.

"Sorry Woo, it was just instinct." Sejung said, moving over on the bed to give space for the male.

Jungwoo tried his best to keep his face but he couldn't help but smile.

"You're lucky that I like you so much that I'm wiling to forgive you." Jungwoo mumbled as he got back into his bed.

Sejung instinctively wrapped her arms around Jungwoo's torso. "Do you think he knows?"

Jungwoo shrugged. "It's hard to tell with Lucas. He either knows everything or nothing at all."

Sejung nodded her head. "Okay, let's hope it the later."
