Today I called to tell you that I'm changing, but
I don't think you have enough respect to see me try

Minho's POV
I walk out of the building and immediately my eyes drag towards my friends that sit at a nearby table. They always weirdly sit around campus until their last class is over but honestly, I try to escape campus as soon as possible.

Let's just say living in the dorms on campus freshman year was an experience, one I don't ever want to go through again. It's how I met Chan, he was my roommate and truthfully he was wired every night. It was possibly all the Adderall.

"Dude, are you coming over again tonight?" Hyunjin asks me as I approach the table. I could feel Krystal's eyes on me but I don't stare at her as I answer.

"Maybe, not sure yet" I shrug lightly and Hyunjin nods before continuing his conversation and betting on what football team is going to win today, the reason why all of us were planning on going to his place.

"Hi," I felt her lightly kick her foot onto my leg to grab my attention. My eyes go to her as she leans back on her hands, sitting on the table with her feet on the bench part. Krystal is conventionally attractive and to be fair we all kinda seen her as innocent... who would've known she would be the one making the first move more or less giving me head in the parking lot of her apartment building.

I force a smile "Hi" I would be super into her if I was just a normal straight guy, too bad I'm bisexual and more into my roommate who is a guy...

"Study today?" Her brown eyes watch me as I inhale deeply. No doubt she felt how I kept her at arm's length, she knew she could have any guy she wanted yet to chose to fuck around with someone who was caught up in someone else. Distraction, that's what she called this.

"Sure"

I felt an arm sling over my shoulder "What's these weird eyes shit you two are doing?" Ryan laughs and I shrug off his arm. I've grown the most distant with him and still, I don't find myself trying to mend it, he could eat shit for all the things he's said about Jisung.

"Fuck off" My harsh words rang through the group and they look at me. I don't need anyone in my business and especially I didn't need people to know Krystal and I fucked around. More like I don't need this to get to Jisung.

"Chill man, it's all a joke" He chuckles lightly but backs off. I look to Hyunjin who shrugs with a small smile.
He tells Ryan to lay off a bit, they all probably felt my sudden mood change this past month. Possibly thinking how bipolar I've become. Happy one day, pissed off the next.

When my eyes leave my best friend when I spot the familiar guy that's scattered everywhere in my head. He walks with Georgia, her arm linked with his as she talks to him about something.

I almost started walking towards them with no thought. I wanted to hear his voice, the last time I had was when Krystal was leaving the apartment. I had left the notes she let me borrow in my room and before I dropped her off I picked them up, I wasn't going to be a dick and leave her in the car alone so I invited her in and as she was walking out she joked my room smelling like weed and how I need candles.

I knew how it looked but after I dropped her off I went to Chan's to get high, he was already high and Georgia was doing something with fabrics—not sure. I ended up just hanging around there for two hours and we did end up smoking. I thought about talking to Jisung and explaining but then I realized I had nothing to explain. If anything I would feel foolish to think he would care.

So I just left it and now we haven't spoken nor hung around each other. I missed him. His presence and his smile.

Jisung's POV
"She didn't pick my dress and I know it's because Quinn is a suck-up, honestly she needs to grow up—" Georgia rambles on and on about getting the second-highest grade. Mindlessly my eyes wander the courtyard when they land on a group. Specifically, Minho who talks with his friends. "Are you even listening to me?"

I hum looking back to her and her eyes train on the group before she looks at me with a questioning look. "What's with that look?"

"Something up with you two or?" She asks me.

I look towards the male again "No" I look ahead as we walk, "But do you think Minho's been a bit off?"

I gaze at her briefly, "No" She tells me immediately, "You, yes" I roll my eyes. Of course, he still talks to Jeongin and Georgia but avoids me.

I sigh and look away from her, "I didn't ask about me" I shove my hands in my pocket and she links her arm with mine.

"I'm assuming this has something to do with that crush of yours?" She tries to pry into my business.

"Not a crush and that's over," I tell her, looking at her as she frowns.

"Didn't go well?"

I swallow harshly, "Never started to begin with" I shrug, "Pretty sure he doesn't want to deal with my shit"

She pulls away "Why do you say that?" She asks me, completely interested in my irrelevant problems. "Did he say that?"

I shake my head "No but I can take a hint"

"So you're giving up?" She stops walking and so do I, turning to look at her as she furrows her brows "The first guy you ever really like, and you give up on it like that?"

My hands go in the air lightly as I shrug helplessly, "I don't do relationships Georgia, isn't that obvious?"

She steps closer "Your my best friend and so I'm telling you this out of love and respect" She starts, "Stop being fucking stupid, you like this guy, and from the looks of it—you like him a lot" She pauses before saying, "It never hurts to try instead of running all the damn time"

"Trying does hurt" I joke and she rolls her eyes.

"Oh cut the shit" She starts walking away and I catch up to her, slinging my arm over her shoulder as we both laugh.
