Wish You Were Gay - Billie Eilish

Yeosang has returned back to class, not like he has another choice in that matter either way.

Of course he still had to sit beside Jimin but strangely he didn't feel that unusual tension that always would bubble up when they're beside one another. That's no surprise really since Jimin underneath this façade is a literal nerd when it comes to academics.

It's almost like a professional type of façade, he will push whatever conflicts from outside the classroom away just to get his work done.

Perhaps during class Yeosang would glance to the feverish way Jimin would write down notes on the notebook, finish his class work before the time and turn in every homework assignment the professor has given.

The two have not once spoken to each other for the past two weeks, during or outside of class. Well, truth is whenever Yeosang goes over to the form Jimin is never there. The only time Yeosang sees Jimin is for class, but not even for the weekends.

Joshua has told him, without Yeosang asking really, that Jimin has been more on the alone side lately. Since exams are coming up in two weeks, he usually studies around this time like crazy.

Sometimes Joshua even spends days or weeks without seeing him, but he doesn't worry too much because he knows Jimin will be okay and he prefers being left alone.

It's a constant habit he does every single year.

Looking at him now, Yeosang can see Joshua was definitely not kidding about it.

Despite Jimin's full focus in class, there are dark circles under his eyes that he obviously tried to cover with make up, his lips are chapped which means he's dehydrated, and perhaps his pale complexion is either because of lack of eating or going outside.

Today his hair is a wavy mess over his forehead, making his eyes pop out more than usual in a strange innocence. His usual dress to impress attire is more involved with jeans and a hoodie. A more neutral and lazy type of clothes considering Jimin's taste.

He just looks....... Different.

And tired.

It's weird seeing him like this.

"Alright class, remember the assignment due next week, Thursday, which is the last day of classes before finals week, and it involves working with your table partner. I will accept it by midnight. You're dismissed."

Right the assignment they were given today.

Honestly Yeosang was just thinking of working on it by himself, since most likely Jimin would want to do that too considering how busy he is with his schedule.

Besides they're always fighting, the last thing Jimin would probably want is to work on it together to not increase his stress levels.

However as Yeosang was stuffing his laptop in his backpack, a strip of paper slides to him on the table.

A number.

He furrows his eyebrows and looks up, seeing Jimin standing there as he gathers his stuff, refusing to look at Yeosang as he zips his backpack.

"That's my number, text me so we can get this done early. I have a lot of things to do," Was all Jimin said before storming out of the class before anyone else.

Well....... Guess he does take academics a bit too seriously....

Even his voices sounded different; So distant and just closed off.

So unlike his smug tone from two weeks ago at the arcade.

Staring off to where Jimin left and back to the neatly hand writing on the paper, Yeosang grips the paper tighter- Already memorizing the number digit by digit- before getting up and exiting out of the class, finally done with his classes for the day.

Usually he would meet up with Joshua to get lunch at the campus center cafeteria, so he was on his way there while scrolling through the endless messages from his fathers and Lisa.

After the whole murdering of the two people- that seemed a long time ago actually- Jeongguk hasn't been so happy with him. Taehyung was pretty impressed and didn't give him too much shit, but Jeongguk was more so worried that he would've been caught and scolded him to not do it again.

Meanwhile, the angel of his life, Lisa diverts his attention away from Jeongguk's blasting curses of messages and invites him to attend one of her matches. She's a fighter at an underground ring and perhaps she could sneak him in without causing a scene that the Spawn is in town.

Well he is going to have to get back to her after he figures out when he would go study with Jimin, and if it doesn't class the same day then he would definitely consider going back for a while.

The thought of Jimin made Yeosang nearly pause in his steps, chewing on the inside of his bottom lip with furrowed confused eyebrows.

Hm.... Jimin.

It's just so bizarre seeing him the way he was since he's never like this. Sure Yeosang has seen how studious he is in action, but gradually has noticed as the days passes by, the more frantic and distant he became.

At least he's eating from what Joshua has told him. Perhaps a few admirers have stopped by their dorm for his assistance but Joshua would just slam the door to their faces.

If Jimin barely sees Joshua as it is, mostly likely he would definitely not want to see them.

It must be tiring or kinda disappointing only being wanted when it comes to others needs. Besides Joshua, has anyone truly cared about him at all? Asked if he's eaten or tried to be an emotional support when he's going through a time like this?

Highly doubtful.

People can be greedy these days, especially when it involves stress and lust.

Even though Jimin doesn't mind it and prefers relationships like that, it doesn't take a genius to know that it reaches a point to where you want just everything to stop.

Perhaps this is Jimin right now, his only focus to be is school work to avoid everything around him in hopes it just stops for a while.

Could be possible but not entirely certain.

At one point Yeosang went through something similar, and that's what kinda nudged him to be the way he is now.

It just..... Grows frustrating at one point.

Even as for someone with the title of 'The Prince of Sins'.

Yeosang only shakes his head and sends a message to the number Jimin gave him, saying it's him and asking when he's free to get started on the assignment.

As Yeosang goes through the doors of the main university building, he goes up a flight of the wide staircase to finally reach the cafeteria.

His eyes moves up from the phone and looks around to try to find Joshua. It perhaps took a while since it's pretty full here with students and professors, but just as he was about to send him a message he finds him sitting on a circular high seated tables.

And he's not alone.

He's with one of his other flings, Yunho, both eating and just smiling up a storm together.

Ah not that surprising.

Usually when Yeosang sees Joshua with his admirers, he prefers just turning the other cheek and walking away. It gets kinda awkward and Yeosang isn't that much of a social person either way when it comes to new people.

He should feel jealous really. They've been talking for almost a whole month already, perhaps adding a week, but truth is he never does get jealous.

It's not like they had anything serious either way.

Mostly likely never will either.

Suddenly Yeosang phone buzzed and he looks down.

Seeing a message from Jimin.

Jimin:
I'm talking to my professor at the moment but I'll be done soon. After that I'm free.

Yeosang looks up at Joshua for a moment longer before turning around to leave, responding back to Jimin.

Yeosang:
Tell me where you are and I'll wait for you. We can study at my apartment

Jimin:
You sure? I'm not slow, I kinda got the hint from last time that you don't like having people there

Yeosang:
Being considerate now?

Jimin:
More so avoiding conflict. I'm not in the mood for arguments, I just want to get this done

Yeosang:
Are you sure you're okay to study|
You can rest today|
|
You've already been to my apartment so I don't care. Besides, it's private there

Jimin:
I hope you're referring to the fact that Joshua isn't there so we can have space to concentrate and not something else

Yeosang:
Why would I be referring to something else? You know better than anyone I'm not nudged easily when it comes to you, let alone try to initiate it

Jimin:
Right. I'm at the third floor of the secondary building, just wait for me at the lobby

Yeosang:
Ok
