"I was just-" Wonwoo took off the eyelash from Mingyu's eyelid. "Removing this." He showed Mingyu who took a moment before the corners of his mouth lifted. "You saw that... all the way from there?"

Wonwoo scratched the back of his head. "I have good eyes." He mumbled. "You wear glasses." Mingyu reminded him pointing to the pair of glasses he had on.

"Whatever, just go back to sleep!" Wonwoo turned around, about to walk to back to the couch when Mingyu stopped him, holding his wrist. Wonwoo closed his eyes, attempting to calm down. His heart was racing for the hills and he had no idea why.

"Can't you study later? Let's do something fun!" Mingyu begged but Wonwoo had to say no. He had two exams tomorrow and if he looked into Mingyu's eyes, he'd accept the boy's suggestion.

"Mingyu, I'm going to send you home if you don't let me study." Wonwoo decided and Mingyu let his hand go, resting his head on the table again.

Wonwoo walked to the couch, resisting the urge to look at Mingyu and picked up his book burying his face into it.

He'd already done all his projects and submitted them but he had two written exams and he had to pass because he was on a full ride scholarship. Any slip in his grades would make him lose his scholarship and he really didn't want to put the responsibility on Hoshi's parents.

He needed to pass.

A few hours passed by and it was already 6pm. Mingyu had so far, used his phone, looked around the house and napped multiple times while Wonwoo continued studying.

"Okay, this is not good." Wonwoo heard Mingyu say as he stepped out of the bathroom. "What's not good?" Wonwoo asked.

"You haven't taken a break in like 3 hours. You're going to burn out." Mingyu protested dragging the book out of Wonwoo's hands. "I still have a lot to cover Mingyu, I can't just take a break." Wonwoo countered taking the book back.

"Okay, how about this? Just take a 20 minute break, I'll make something for you, you eat and then you continue." Mingyu appealed to Wonwoo who shook his head in disagreement.

"If you don't agree, I will literally play any song at the highest volume on my phone and try to distract you in any way I can." Mingyu threatened which made Wonwoo give in. "Whatever." He muttered, standing up and walking to the barstools.

"What are you going to make?" Wonwoo questioned as he sat down. Mingyu opened one of the cupboards finding a pack of Buldak. "Do you like this?" Mingyu took out the pack and waved it.

Wonwoo nodded immediately and Mingyu started to prepare the Buldak stir-fried noodles. Wonwoo watched Mingyu as he cooked. How was it that the boy had so many hidden talents?

Once Mingyu finished up his cooking, he plated Wonwoo's Buldak and handed it over to him before plating his and sitting beside the beauty.

Wonwoo took a bite and his face lit up at the taste of the Buldak. Whatever Mingyu had done, had made the Buldak taste even better than usual. "Do you like it?" He heard Mingyu ask from beside him.

"Mingyu, it's honestly so good!" He gave the boy a thumbs up which made him very happy.

The two continued to talk about random things while they ate their ramyeon. Mingyu was such a natural conversationalist, he really could draw anyone in... including Jeon Wonwoo.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mingyu washed up the dishes while Wonwoo went back to his work. Mingyu didn't want to go back to his dorm. No one was there, not even Seokmin.

"Hey, Wonwoo hyung, can I stay over?" Wonwoo's pen fell rolling out of his hands. Mingyu wanted to do what? Stay over?

"I'll stay in Hoshi hyung's room, he's never here and I'll leave first thing in the morning... we're friends aren't we?" Mingyu attempted to convince Wonwoo.

He watched as Wonwoo pondered on the offer, tapping the table with his index finger. "I mean, okay, I guess you can stay."

Mingyu rejoiced before folding his arms. "Wait, you didn't answer the question." Wonwoo's brows furrowed in confusion. "What question?"

"We're friends, aren't we?" Mingyu leaned backwards. "Yeah, sure." Wonwoo's unconvincing tone made Mingyu pout.

Wonwoo still didn't think they were friends? He knew it would be hard to become anything with the beauty but it was still a bit upsetting. I mean he just agreed to spend the summer with who? An acquaintance? You spend summer break with your friends!

"Mingyu." Wonwoo called and Mingyu escaped his thoughts, his eyes now focused on Wonwoo. "Hmm?"

"We're friends. I think we're friends." Wonwoo assured Mingyu whose pout instantly formed into a grin. "Really?" His eyes widened in happiness.

"Yes." Wonwoo giggled then turned back to his work. Mingyu smiled. He was so cute. He was always so cute.

"I'll wait here until you go to sleep. Then I'll go to sleep." Mingyu sat on the barstool. "I don't think that's a good idea."

"Why?" Mingyu wondered. "You're going to sleep off." Wonwoo replied but Mingyu just chuckled. "I'm not going to sleep off."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wonwoo was right, once again. It was 9:30 and Mingyu had already dozed off. Wonwoo sighed as he stood up. He moved towards Mingyu and attempted to carry him up.

When he eventually managed to do that, after a couple tries, he directed Mingyu to Hoshi's room, pushing the boy on the bed and covering him up.

"He's so heavy, like a big furry dog." Wonwoo murmured, panting. Wonwoo turned off the lights before leaving the room and going back to study.

After about an hour, he closed his books ready to sleep when the door into the dorm opened. He turned to see both Hoshi and Jun walk in. "Why are you guys here?!" He whisper-shouted.

"This is our dorm...?" Jun replied. "Is it?" Wonwoo looked at Hoshi. "Jihoon kicked me out. Said he needs to study." Hoshi sighed in distress.

"Myungho also kicked me out." Jun added. "Well, Mingyu's sleeping in your room." Wonwoo told Hoshi who folded his arms.

"Then I'll sleep in your room." He replied and Wonwoo looked at him, confused and a little annoyed.

"Why?"

"My boyfriend wouldn't want me sleeping with another guy." Hoshi shrugged making Wonwoo roll his eyes. He glanced at Jun who shook his head, "Mine wouldn't want that either."

"Either you sleep on the couch or... you sleep with Mingyu." Jun informed Wonwoo of his options. "I prefer the second." Hoshi inputed his opinion which Wonwoo immediately disregarded.

Guess he would be sleeping on the couch today.
