After all of them stepped into the dorm whith the spare key that Jeongin used to open the door which he received from Jisung.

Jeongin:“weird...”

He let out looking around the dorm trying to find the owner of it, after everyone put their shoes at the doorstep and removed their coats, Hyunjin sat on the bed and besides him sat Felix and the other two stayed standing.

Felix:“what's wrong,  jeongin-shii?”

He asked concerned after seeing a troubled expression on Jeongin's face.

Jeongin:“please call me without the "shii"... I don't see Jisung-hyung around”

He doesn't want Felix to treat him as some famous and he rejected the honorific from him since the model was older than him.

Hyunjin:“wait... Is jisung the same jisung I know? The emo guy from high school??”

He asked not believing he is going to meet with the outcast again, and they weren't that close since hyunjin only heard about him and never had the chance to meet him except for the prom party when he learned that the outcast has a crush on Jeongin.

Hyunjin wondered if he moved on...

Seungmin:“yep...the one and only”

Jeongin turned toward his best friend and gave him a "WTF" face.

Jeongin:“why does it sound like you know him? you joined the school after he graduated”

Seungmin rolled his eyes at the blond's behavior and crossed his arms and let a tired huff.

Seungmin:“because you were blabbering about him nonstop that's why”

Jeongin decided to ignore him and look around the dorm again, it wasn't that big and he easily could spot him if he was hiding. So he didn't give up on searching the outcast because the blonde promised him to stay by his side this evening.

Jeongin:“JISUNG-HYUNG!! IF YOU'RE HIDING PLEASE COME OUT...YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SCARED OF ANYONE ALL OF THEM ARE NICE PEOPLE...you already know about Seungmin being my best friend and you already met Hyunjin before and Felix is a neat guy who's wearing a good outfit”

What he said made Felix do a little inner party in his head as he lowered his fist then pulled it behind and said under his mouth...

Felix:“yezzz”

Jisung:“can you come alone here...I'm in the bathroom”

Jeongin looked towards the bathroom, how did he not think of that place before... He is such a dumbo.

Jeongin:“one second, guys...I'll be back”

He told the guys then walked towards the bathroom, he opened the door and here he was the outcast seating onto the toilet seat while shaking his legs out of stress.

Once Jisung looked towards jeongin, he threw his hand towards which confused the blonde.

Jisung:“can you hold my hand...i can't do this...”

Jeongin held his hand and walked closer as he crouched down to be on the same level as Jisung.

Jeongin:“don't worry hyung...everything is okay...no need to panic I'm here...I'll be by your side the entire evening”

He comforts him with words where his left was holding Jisung's hand and the other hand was fixed on top of the outcast's thigh that was shaking.

Jisung:“promise?”

He stopped shaking his leg the minute the blonde put his hand on his thigh.

Jeongin smiled at him nodding at what he said.

Jeongin:“yeah promise...now let go, Seungmin can't wait to meet you”

He let go of his both thigh and hand then stood up and started walking away but jisung was fast to stand up and dash towards the younger to grab his hand again.

That startled Jeongin and looked at his hyung with wide eyes but then he smiled and dragged the outcast outside the bathroom.

Seungmin:“so this is what the famous Jisung looks like”

He let out which made the owner of that name flinch at the word "famous"

Jisung:“I'm not famous”

He said with a low husky voice without making eye contact.

Felix:“well you are because you are Jeongin's friend”

Jisung hates that word, he doesn't want to be his friend but he can't show it either so he just nodded his head to the Felix guy.

Hyunjin sighs at his boyfriend getting hyped up for being around the ex-idol as he turned to Jeongin and apologized.

Hyunjin:“I apologize, he's a fan of yours”

Jeongin:“nah~it okay I appreciate that I still have fans though”

The rest took a seat on the bed in front of the couch where Jeongin sat in between Jisung and Seungmin where the best friend couldn't take his eyes from those who were being clingy.

Seungmin:“so he's going to be close to you like that the entire evening?”

Jeongin rolled his eyes and turned to his best friend with an upset expression.

Jeongin:“i already told you he had social anxiety and he can't bear with so many people at the same place”

He defended his other friend which caused Seungmin to shut up impressed by how Jisung had affected his friend.

Jeongin rarely gets upset for anyone.

Jisung:“I would be fine if you keep holding my hand”

What he said somehow made the blonde blush and nodded his head to the outcast.

Felix:“awww that's cute, you both make a cute couple”

He commented which caused Seungmin to look at him with a terrified expression.

Seungmin:“excuse me...what?”

The blonde laughed at both Felix's comment and Seungmin's reaction as he waved a "no" with his hand towards the model refusing that idea.

Jeongin:“I already have a girlfriend and I'm only into girls but if that's what you think about us then, please don't because it would only ruin of our friendship”

Ouch! That really stings right into his heart and the only one who was able to notice that is Hyunjin.

Hyunjin:“you guys didn't see him at the graduation party 2 years ago, he was stunning”

He decided to low-key Chang the subject to something else so the outcast won't be bothered by his one-sided crush.

Felix:“ohh really? You got pictures?”

Jeongin told him he got pictures since he saved pictures on his phone from Jisung's phone and was about to show them until the outcast stopped him.

Jisung:“Jeongin don't...i swear if you show them I would not be your friend again”

It's not like he would do it anyway, he's just saying that because he's afraid of others to judge his appearance...jisung isn't that much confident in how he looks.

Jeongin:“why are you so anxious about your face and appearance? You should know that you're both handsome and pretty”

Jisung appreciates Jeongin's compliment but he was still against it as he started sweating while his eyes went towards his hand where he was holding the phone and he could see his picture that he took two years ago... He thought he looked good at that time but now looking back at it, it only made him want to puke that the outcast actually thought he looked handsome.

Felix:“I think we shouldn't pressure him more, he looks like he's about to faint”

He said concerned about the outcast's situation which took Jeongin's attention as he tightened his fist around his hand and asked making sure he was okay.

Jeongin:“you okay, babe?”

Jisung stopped thinking about that prom day and looked at the blonde with wide eyes. Not just him, everyone in the room turned to look at Jeongin.

Jisung:“did you just call me babe?”

Jeongin just realized that just now and immediately found an excuse.

Jeongin:“sorry, after dating so many girls... It spilled from my mouth unintentionally”

He Himself doesn't know why he called him by that, it is nothing related to him dating with girls it just felt right calling the outcast by that nickname.

Seungmin:“Jisung you are so lucky, Jeongin isn't like that to any other guy I know...not even me”

Hyunjin:“the heartthrob womanizer actually called a guy "babe"...Interesting”

Both boys teased Jeongin who blushed a little and gave them a deadly stare.

Jeongin:“SHUT UP YOU TWO!!”

He was really worried about Jisung... but now he feel ashamed that he called him by that pet name, Jisung must hate him by n—

Jisung:“call me by that pet name again”

Jeongin widened his eyes as he looked towards Jisung again who just said these words... He didn't hate it?

Jeongin:“don't worry babe, no one here thinks you are ugly except for Seungmin because he's ugly himself”

The best friend who was just sitting beside him felt offended.

Seungmin:"HEEYY!!!"

It is his and Jeongin thing to call each other ugly so he didn't get upset about it but Seungmin can't believe the blonde brought that up just to comfort Jisung.

Jisung:“I think I'm okay now, thanks Jeongin”

both Of them look at each other with a smile, both find themselves drowned in each other's eyes as it is the first time Jeongin has this much long eye contact with anyone since he's bad at it.

They all looked at them with side eyes as they kept staring at each other.

Felix:“what do guys wanna do now?”

He decided to break their intense eye contact.

Jisung:“I've got monopoly...who's up for a round?”
