Jisoo groaned as he opened his eyes, his only sight being the bright rays of sunshine drifting in through the windows. He put his pillow over his head and wiggled around in his bed, trying to find a comfortable spot so he could go back to sleep. He let out a soft, scratchy cough, and after a few moments of silent debate, he finally decided to get out of bed. He grabbed a tissue and blew his nose. Jisoo had caught a fever at the beginning of the week, but he was definitely feeling better than he felt then. He took a shower and got ready. When he was done, he checked his phone. He had a few texts from Jeonghan.

Jeonghan😇🌸🌚: good morning! i left some leftover pasta in the fridge for your lunch. feel better soon!!!
Jeonghan😇🌸🌚: hey dickface wake up it's like 12 p.m. jfc
Jeonghan😇🌸🌚: or should I say jisoo christ lmao im hilarious

Jisoo: wtf it's only 11:15 a.m.??? and no you're really not funny idek how you have a boyfriend
Jisoo: thx for the food tho💕

He got a response from Jeonghan after a few minutes, but decided to check his social media instead. He went on tumblr for a bit, liking a few posts of cute animals and some gifs of shows he watched. After a while, he decided to go downstairs to heat up his food. As he waited for his meal to heat up, he decided to check his texts from Jeonghan.

Jeonghan😇🌸🌚: fuck you
Jeonghan😇🌸🌚: btw seokmin's been asking for your number so im gonna give it to him
unknown number: Hi is this Jisoo? Did Jeonghan give me the right number?
unknown number: Hello?
unknown number: I'm really tempted to type out some SHINee lyrics now lol

Jisoo's eyes widened slightly in surprise, and the microwave started beeping at him loudly. He grabbed his food and brought the plate and his phone to the table. His fingers hovered over the keyboard hesitantly, then he drew them back, then hovered them over the keyboard again, then drew them back, and then finally decided to type out a response to Seokmin.

Jisoo: hey!!! sorry i was asleep. this is seokmin right?
unknown number: Yeah hey! What's up?
Jisoo: nm just eating some pasta. wbu?
Seokmin👻👾🌟: I'm in math class rn actually
Seokmin👻👾🌟: Oh yeah, how come I haven't seen you at school lately?
Jisoo: ah, actually ive been sick. im still kinda sick tbh but im definitely feeling better than a few days ago!
Seokmin👻👾🌟: Aw, I'm sorry I didn't know! Feel better soon, okay? I haven't seen you in forever and I miss you!

"This guy really doesn't understand the effect of his words," Jisoo muttered, blushing. He put his plate in the sink and went to his room to watch some YouTube videos on his laptop.

Though he was trying to pay full attention to the video he was watching, he couldn't stop thinking about Seokmin's text. Jisoo twiddled his thumbs awkwardly, and tried to clear his mind. He eventually decided to pause the video and text Seokmin back.

Jisoo: thanks! and aw that's cute lol ive missed you and everyone else too

He shook his head and deleted the text, embarrassed that he had even considered sending that.

Jisoo: aren't you in class rn?
Seokmin👻👾🌟: Well, not anymore...now I'm in lunch.
Jisoo: still, you were in class earlier. you really shouldn't be on your phone in math.
Jisoo: tsk tsk
Seokmin👻👾🌟: I'm so sorry hyung!11!!1! Pls forgive me!!!
Jisoo: give me chocolate bc im hungry and sick and you have a deal
Jisoo: AFTER SCHOOL THAT IS I DONT WANT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOU SKIPPING SCHOOL STAY IN SCHOOL KIDS
Seokmin👻👾🌟: You're such a killjoy Jisoo ;( fine I'll come over after school with chocolate then okay?
Jisoo: bless your soul
Seokmin👻👾🌟: Are you kidding me m8 I'm in French and we're having a pop quiz why this
Seokmin👻👾🌟: Unfortunately, you're going to have to be alone for a little bit. Don't worry, I'll finish the quiz quickly so that you can bask in my amazing and glowing presence again soon!
Jisoo: pls let this quiz be so difficult that for some weird reason you take all class to finish
Jisoo: gl tho

Jisoo let out a small sigh, then went back to watching random PewDiePie videos on YouTube.

After a while, his phone screen finally lit up again. Jisoo immediately grabbed his phone to see what the text said.

Jeonghan😇🌸🌚: have you eaten yet
Jisoo: yes mom
Jeonghan😇🌸🌚: does that make seungcheol daddy af ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Jisoo: that's disgusting and you need to stop

Jisoo was slightly disappointed that it wasn't Seokmin, but he kept himself optimistic since he knew that Seokmin was probably going to text soon. He got a text from someone else and he clicked on the notification excitedly, though some of his excitement faded when he realized that yet again, it wasn't Seokmin. Why did he care so much if Seokmin texted him anyway?

Seungcheol😎🔥🍌: why is Jeonghan calling me "daddy"?
Jisoo: omg nooo
Jisoo: you need to control your bf seungcheollie
Seungcheol😎🔥🍌: I would and I do but sometimes he can be p dom and it's super hot ngl
Jisoo: did I say I wanted to hear about your sex life
Seungcheol😎🔥🍌: dude Jeonghan is super hot in bed
Seungcheol😎🔥🍌: you know he has this one really special spot

Jisoo shivered, then quickly opened his notifications to respond to Seungcheol before it was too gross for Jisoo to handle.

Jisoo: STOP TELLING ME ABOUT YOUR SEX LIFE
Seokmin👻👾🌟: Wtf I literally just told you I finished the quiz

Jisoo's eyes widended as he realized he texted Seokmin accidentally when clicking on his notifications. He resent the text to Seungcheol quickly and then read the text that Seokmin had sent him.

Seokmin👻👾🌟: J'ai fini l'interro!
Jisoo: omg im so sorry i meant to send that to seungcheol
Seokmin👻👾🌟: It's ok lol why is Seungcheol telling you about his sex life
Jisoo: so i called jeonghan mom jokingly and now he's calling seungcheol daddy and yeah um
Seokmin👻👾🌟: Oh god that's uh
Jisoo: yeah well anyways
Seokmin👻👾🌟: IM GOING TO HISTORY NOW FINAL CLASS OF THE DAY YES
Jisoo: do you have friends in that class
Jisoo: wait you don't have any friends lel
Seokmin👻👾🌟: I do have friends I'll have you know how rude of you
Seokmin👻👾🌟: And yeah, my friends Sungyeol, Woohyun, Jun, Minghao, and Jihoon are in this class with me, but Sungyeol and Woohyun are pretty much flirting in this class everyday, so Jun, Minghao, Jihoon, and I just talk to each other when we can(that is, if Jun isn't shamelessly flirting with Minghao lol)
Seokmin👻👾🌟: Haha the teacher actually called out Sungyeol and Woohyun once and Sungyeol started blushing really hard and both of them started talking really loudly bc they were embarrassed it was so cute
Jisoo: omg you say so much it took me so long to read all that
Seokmin👻👾🌟: Oh sorry do you want me to talk less? I can do that if I'm making you uncomfortable
Jisoo: nonono it's fine it's cute
Jisoo: sHIT I DIDNT MEAN TO SEND THAT UM
Seokmin👻👾🌟: Hey I mean if a cute guy is gonna call me cute I'm not gonna complain lol

Jisoo turned red and put his phone on the table beside his bed. He went to the bathroom and splashed some water on his face, and then went back to watching YouTube videos.

It was around 6 P.M., and Jisoo was still on YouTube. Jeonghan had come back home at 3:30 P.M., when school had ended, and he screamed something about needing Jisoo's help for getting ready for his date("Why should I help you?" "You're gay! Gay guys have a great sense of fashion." "Jeonghan...that's a stereotype...and you're gay too..." "Okay yeah that's true, but you still need to tell me if I look hot or not." "Ah seriously...this guy...").

Jisoo, though he was pretty reluctant, helped Jeonghan, and about half an hour ago, Seungcheol picked Jeonghan up for their date, leaving Jisoo alone in the house since Jeonghan's mom and dad normally both came home from work late. Jisoo hummed the tune to an EXO song as he went downstairs to get a glass of water to drink.

After he drank his water, he wiped his mouth, and headed to the staircase to go back to his room. However, the doorbell rang suddenly, causing Jisoo to look at the door questioningly. He walked to the door and opened it to see Seokmin standing there with a bag of food from a chicken restaurant, a to-go coffee cup, and a bag from a grocery store. Jisoo stared at him, confused.

"Hi Jisoo-hyung! I brought your chocolate!" Seokmin said with a smile, raising the grocery store bag. "Can I come in?"

Jisoo, still somewhat confused, nodded and opened the door wider. Seokmin stepped in, thanking him and taking off his shoes.

"So...what's all this?" Jisoo asked, tilting his head to the side a little.

"Don't you remember? I said I'd get you chocolate if you forgave me. Sorry I took so long though! I had baseball practice," Seokmin replied. He took the chocolates out of the grocery bag. "I didn't know what type of chocolate you like, so I got you a large milk chocolate bar, a large dark chocolate bar, and a large cookies n' creme bar, though personally I think those are disgusting. Oh! Also, since you're sick, I brought you some hot chocolate since it always helps me feel better when I'm sick. And since I knew Jeonghan was going on a date with Seungcheol, I brought you dinner."

Jisoo stared at all of the things Seokmin had brought him with wide eyes. He couldn't believe that the younger had thought so much about him and gotten him all these things. He gave Seokmin a warm smile.

"Thank you so much Seokmin. Would you like to eat some of the chicken with me?" Jisoo asked. "We can watch a movie too or something if you'd like."

Seokmin beamed and nodded. The two sat down at the dinner table and took out the food. Jisoo put on a random drama and the two silently ate their food. Seokmin watched the show and Jisoo switched between watching the show and watching Seokmin.

"Hey, I think I know this show! My friend Soojung was in it with Park Shin-hye and Lee Minho," Seokmin said, pointing out a girl on the screen. Jisoo recognized her as the girl who came to the orchestra room with Seokmin a while back.

"Your friend acts professionally? That's so cool! I can't even play the guitar well," Jisoo replied, chuckling slightly.

"Aw, I don't believe that." Seokmin said. He paused for a moment before his eyes widened in realization. "Hey, a while back, didn't you say that if we met again, you'd play guitar for me?"

Jisoo stuttered slightly, and Seokmin took this opportunity to plead Jisoo to play for him. Jisoo eventually agreed, and Seokmin quickly finished his food so he could hear Jisoo play. The two turned off the TV and headed upstairs to Jisoo's room.

"I haven't played in a while so I'm a little rusty," Jisoo explained, nervous that he was going to be playing for someone that wasn't his teacher, his family, or someone from his old church.

"That's fine, I don't mind. Hey, you should sing along too!" Seokmin suggested with a mischievous grin.

"I can't sing," Jisoo lied rapidly, avoiding eye contact with the younger boy.

"Hey, don't lie to me like that! I heard you singing before, remember?" Seokmin replied. He gave the older boy an adorable and persuasive look "Please sing for me?"

Jisoo hesitated, but found himself unable to refuse the younger boy yet again. Besides, how bad could it be? He used to sing in church.

"Okay," Jisoo said, rolling his eyes as Seokmin let out a cheer of victory, "But only if you sing too."

Seokmin responded with a wave of his hand and told him to hurry up and play the song. Jisoo quickly tuned his guitar, then looked at the fret board and strings, carefully placing his fingers. Before he could play the first chord though, Seokmin interrupted.

"Wait!" Seokmin said. He held up his phone. "Can I record it?" he grinned.

Jisoo looked at him incredulously. "No, you may not record it."

Seokmin widened his eyes and gave Jisoo a cute pout. Jisoo crossed his arms over his guitar and looked away.

"I mean, I could just tell everyone about that time I heard you singing along to the Haikyū opening song," Seokmin teased, giving Jisoo an evil smile.

"You wouldn't," Jisoo stated, though he himself was unsure.

"You never know," Seokmin drawled. "C'mon Jisoo, I promise I won't show anyone else! It'll be our secret. Please?"

Jisoo sighed and said, "Fine. But you can't show anyone else okay?" He put out his pinky and thumb, and Seokmin wrapped his pinky around Jisoo's and connected their thumbs, giving Jisoo a smile.

Jisoo took a silent breath, and started to play the song as he sang along.

"You and I are young, what makes it wrong for us, to fall in love, and either way, we'll never change, we'll talk and touch, the day away..."

When Jisoo finished the song, he looked up to see a dumbstruck Seokmin staring at him with wide eyes. Seokmin finally noticed that Jisoo was finished, so he ended the recording and clapped loudly for him.

"Jisoo-hyung, I didn't get to hear much of your singing the other day, but you're really good! You sing so beautifully in English!" Seokmin exclaimed, giving the older boy two thumbs up. "I really enjoyed it! You're the best!"

Jisoo blushed, enjoying the smiling boy's enthusiastic and positive response. "Thanks. Hey, but you have to sing for me too!"

"Ah actually Jisoo, I have to get going now. It's getting kinda late and my mom will be worried if I don't come back soon. Maybe I'll sing for you another time. You better feel well tomorrow so I can see you at school, okay?" Seokmin said, grinning at Jisoo. He quickly walked out of Jisoo's room.

"Hey! You can't just leave!" Jisoo complained, chasing after Seokmin.

"Bye Jisoo!" Seokmin waved at him after he put on his shoes. He started to walk out the door, but turned around to say something. "Oh yeah, by the way, hyung..."

"What?" Jisoo asked, trying to be menacing. He gave Seokmin what he hoped looked like a glare that could kill.

"I don't know if this'll make you ignore me again, but I meant what I said earlier. You know, about you being cute," Seokmin continued. Jisoo felt his face heat up.

"See you tomorrow Jisoo!" Seokmin said, his face slightly flushed. He waved at Jisoo again, then bolted out the door.

"That guy, seriously..." Jisoo murmured fondly. He took some medicine and walked back up to his room to sleep.

Seokmin👻👾🌟: Goodnight Jisoo-hyung!
Jisoo: goodnight you lil shit. sleep well.

A/N: zoo wee mama that was long. it was like 2,500 words or somethin but anyway *screams* my friend and i were talking about gay ships in shows and stuff and lunch so i ranted to her about haikyuu and then she told me about this web comic called "check please!" and it's so good and i love it and all i can think of is "lord is that a kitchen." so basically during my life before it, i didn't freak out about any web comics (though i still freaked out over a lot of other things) but then

tbh i just wanted to use that pic...ok anyways,that's all for now, stay in school, be cool, buy every f(x) song on iTunes, vote for kevin (effin) skaff for best guitarist in the APMA's, and have a nice day! also the linked song is "Young" by The Summer Set(acoustic cover they did) and the pic is a cute pic of junhao that i thought of in class. it's probably one of the best pictures to exist bless also i almost forgot to publish this on time whoops !!!

3/25/16 edit: the reason you may have gotten so many notifications for this story is bc i lightly edited the chapters and i changed the names to the dates so that it would be a little bit easier to understand the timeframe.
