"OMG!!! IT JEONGIN!!!!"

Just after he stepped into Jisung's lecture class, his female colleagues stood around him blocking his way in.

Jeongin:"WOAH...hello ladies"

The blonde didn't expect this much of the girl's attention after that fake rumor about him, but thinking again of other possibilities maybe they were after him because of his looks.

"What are you doing here, Innie?"

One of the females with her face was totally red, her front bangs was hidding her face, and her voice was barely heard.

She was totally Jeongin's type but he wasn't interested in the girls right now, honestly.

All he wants to find is an introverted masked gloomy looking hyung.

Jeongin(while looking around): "I came for a friend..."

He looked around the massive lecture class hoping to find Jisung so both can hang out.

"Who's your friend? we can help you find him..."

The girls start looking around for guys who they think are at the same level as their crush.

Jeongin smiled apon spotting his hyung.

Jeongin(raise his hand): "JISUNG HYUNG!!! OVER HERE"

He shouted from afar that it took Jisung's attention from his book and looked at the direction of the voice of what he assumes was Jeongin's, and then looked at the beautiful view of the blond smiling his heart warming smile while waving in his direction.

Jisung could feel the time start slowing down and the only people who were presented were him and Jeongin.

"Ehhhh...that's your friend?"

One of the girls judged after seeing who's Jeongin called and she didn't like him.

Jeongin:"excuse me ladies"

He tried walking through the girls who were demanding answers to their questions but he just ignored them and walked away towards Jisung.

"Why would someone like Jeongin be friends with-wait, what was his name again?"

One of the girls asked her friend.

"What is wrong with him befriending him, at least he's not a girl"

Jeongin soon arrived at where Jisung was sitting and sat beside him.

The younger was welcomed by a very disappointed look from his hyung.

Jisung:"what are you doing here?"

He wasn't actually expecting Jeongin to come at all, he thought he was the last person he would think of.

Jeongin:"what do you mean? I came to hang out"

He smiled innocently while collecting Jisung's belongings to put them in the bag and both can go out and hangout.

Jisung:"I have a lecture now"

He said in a stern tone, not budging from his place while deep down he wanted to go with Jeongin but being with him would only get his situation worse because of his feelings for him that he still didn't get over with.

Jeongin(puppy eyes):"won't you skip for me?"

Jisung never received that kind of face from the younger one before and it made him blush and look away then yelled...

Jisung(blushing):"NO!"

Jeongin was mad at Jisung for rejecting his request, no one rejected his requests before.

So he put his hands on Jisung's shoulders from behind and started shaking him gently.

Jeongin:"come OOON!! Just this once...COme ONN JISUNG-HYUNG!!!"

That brought a lot of students attention and Jisung hated when he was the center of attention so he calmed himself and his heart and turned around to reject Jeongin again.

Jisung:"I just said I am no-"

But his feelings weren't on his side.

Jeongin(puppy eyes):"please...pretty pretty please Jisung-hyung...?"

He surrendered to his feelings and gave up by sighing and going with Jeongin after.

it was the first time in his life to skip something related to school/college.

Jisung:"why did you choose to study marketing?"

He asked him, while both were walking at the bridge in front of the sights of the sea.

Jeongin:"I didn't, my dad chose for me"

He said after he put his both arms on top of the guardrail of the bridge.

Jisung:"to fulfill your promise"

He did the same exact act Jeongin did but only with one hand.

Jeongin:"to be honest with you, I hate it...I mean college"

He confessed.

from the beginning Jeongin wasn't a fan of school/college. he wasn't good at it and found it a waste of time.

But in the end, he didn't succeed without it.

Jisung:"why don't you speak to your father about it..."

Both start walking again after minutes.

Jeongin:"whenever I do, we'll always end up fighting... He doesn't respect my dream and decision in becoming an idol"

His dad was his problem, he could go around being a trainee for years to make his debut again but his father was against it saying it is a waste of time and effort and studying is an easy way to achieve a lot of things in a matter of 4 years.

4 years only to go to college but he forgot the job hunting matter that could take a long time too.

Jisung:"does it affect you?"

Jeongin was caught of what his hyung had said, widening his eyes while looking at him.

Jeongin:"what do you mean?"

Because he kept overthinking about the matter, and he wished that he was never a womanizer and he doesn't know what the future holds for him anymore and that scares him...

Jisung:"like, hmmm...looking down at yourself, Frustration over your crushed dream, anxious about the future, and such..."

And Jisung guesses right what he was feeling all those past months...

Jeongin:"yeah! That's what I really feel- how did you know...?"

He was impressed by Jisung's ability to know right what the other felt.

Jisung:"i take therapy and these are some psychological signs that people usually have"

Wait... Jisung take therapy?

Jeongin never knows about it, he knows that his hyung was always an outcast but he never thought that Jisung was actually going through tough times himself.

But he was afraid to ask Jisung about his condition, not when they weren't close.

Jeongin:"so, I suffer from depression?"

He was still confused on what really is happening with him and his mind.

So he misunderstood that as depression.

Jisung:"i don't know, do you suffer from depression?"

He answered him with a question.

Jeongin(not sure):"I don't think I do..."

As much as he knows, Jeongin never experiences having negative thoughts and he never heard voices inside his mind before.

Jisung:"if you feel worse in the future, just tell me and I'll give you my therapist's business card"

He suggests but the younger just shrugged it off by saying...

Jeongin:"no need, thank you, I'm good"

Jisung had noticed that both were walking without direction and it happened that they ran into a small ice cream truck so he pointed there and asked Jeongin.

Jisung:"wanna have ice cream?"

Jeongin checked his pockets and found them empty.

Jeongin:"I don't have money on me"

Jisung:"that's okay, I'll pay... now let go"

He wrapped his arm around Jeongin's shoulder and started dragging him towards the truck.

Jeongin:"I'll pay you back in our next hang out"

Jisung:"you don't have to..."

It didn't bother him spending money on Jeongin, because he deserves more than any simple ice cream, Jeongin deserves the whole world-No! THE WHOLE UNIVERSE!!!

Jeongin:"but it isn't fair, we are finally hanging out with each other as friends, and I want for our friendship to be even"

The blonde was insisting on paying Jisung back because he only felt a heavy weight on his chest if he didn't do that which made Jisung sigh.

Jisung:"sure, how about you treat us to lunch next time? How does that sound?"

He hates it!

He wishes to be in a better position that could give him the all mighty to spoil Jeongin without him paying back.

Jeongin(smiling):"yeah, I like the sound of that"

But that would only happen in his dreams.
