"Another autograph?" Lee Know smirked.

"I-uh-no, sorry-" Jisung stuttered. Fuck, what's happening to me? "I was in a hurry."

"It's okay." Jisung breathed a sigh of relief until Lee Know said, "Wait, aren't you Han?"

Han almost literally collapsed on the spot. HE KNOWS MY NAME? WHAT THE FUCK? Thought Han.

"Yeah, it is you! I saw you in the crowd with Yongbok." Lee Know continued, oblivious to Han's panic.

"Yeah, I guess it's me, anyways, uhm-I-" Han chuckled nervously.

"Oh yeah, sorry for that." Lee Know said. "And also, that shirt looks nice." He smirked seeing Han's face.

"Thanks, I-" Han broke into a run as he rushed for the washroom. He hadn't ever been this eager to go to the washroom.

What the fuck? Did he actually say my shirt was nice?

For a moment, Han was hopeful. Eager, almost, until the voice came creeping in his head.

How could a star like Lee Know be with someone like you?

Han had always tried to avoid that voice. But now it was creeping, coming, louder than ever. Han had to believe it was true. He had social anxiety. He was scared, terrified, of Lee Know even.

He's way out of your league.

And Han wondered if it really, really was true. That nobody could love him.

Shut up, that's crap! Jisung thought, pretending as if he didn't always wonder if it was true. And the tears came out as Han weeped silently.

"Hey, Han! You back?" Felix asked, until seeing the boy's face. "H-han? What's up?"

"Oh nothing, I just-just- fell down, that's it." Han said, trying to smile.

"Are you okay?" Chan asked, looking worried.

"I said, I'm fine! Now don't you two have an anniversary?" Han said, as his lips broke into a grin.

Around seventeen shots later, it was time for Felix and Han to get back home.

"He'll be okay, he's just had a lot." Chan said, not looking too reassured.

"Are you sure? I can drop Han if you want- he's not feeling his best either." Seungmin said, looking even more worried at the boy half in his arms.

"He'll be okay." Chan repeated, looking at Felix and Han with an exasperated look on his face.

"Bye, then! See ya tomorrow!" Han slurred. "Seungmin, I can walk."

"Not now you can't. So shut the fuck up, I'm driving."

back at their apartment, in the morning, 11:30 AM

"Woke up? You're very early!" Seungmin said, already having spent three hours working.

"Hi." Han yawned and drank his water, checking his phone. He then spat that water out.

"What the hell?!" Seungmin said. "You sprayed water over my books- are you still drunk?"

Han said nothing and continued to stare at the phone, eyes widening. His face broke into an unusual smile Seungmin had only ever seen very rarely.

"What? What's up?" Seungmin said, getting up to check.

"L-Lee Know just texted me." Han said, his dreamy smile still not fading away.

"Lee Know?" Seungmin looked confused. "You mean last night's singer?"

Again he got no reply from Han.

Han was too busy staring at Lee Know's text: Hey, aren't you the Jisung that bumped into me yesterday? Saw your account, you're cuter than I thought. Hang out sometime? 😉

"Lee Know! Hyung!" Jeongin shouted from the kitchen. "Where's the cereal?"

"I didn't buy any more." Lee Know said, checking his phone.

Jeongin came storming out of the kitchen. "Whaddya mean you didn't BUY ANY MORE?"

"I meant I did not purchase the cereal." Lee Know said calmly.

"Then what do I do for breakfast? Starve?" said Hyunjin, coming in the room.

"Oh my god, not you too!" said Lee Know as they both started arguing over cereal.

"Alright, alright! I'll go get some more! In the meantime, don't starve." Lee Know said, debating on whether to get cat food and call it cereal. He decided he didn't want any accidents before the next concert.

"You better!" Hyunjin and Jeongin said.

Maybe I should get that cat food, Lee Know thought.

As he was walking to the store, his phone lit up with a text from Jisung: Hey! Saw your text, yeah, I am that Jisung haha. Sure we could hang out.

"Perfect." Lee Know smiled as he walked into the store to get the cereal, feeling unusually happy.

What's happening?

HAN? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THERE?" Seungmin shouted from outside.

"Alright, alright! I'm coming out!" Han said. He was exhausted.

It had been three hours since the text from Lee Know, and he couldn't stop thinking about it.

He'd anxiously sent a text back to Lee Know, who still hadn't replied yet.

Has he even seen it? Han worried.

As he was putting on his clothes, his phone lit up with a text from Lee Know. He had seen it.

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit I have to reply.

Han grabbed his phone as he read and reread the text from Lee Know: Soz to get your message late, I was out. Cool! How about tomorrow for breakfast? I'll pay :D.

A/N: Bold texts like this mean they're texting!

Han quickly put his clothes on and replied:

leedoesknow: Soz to get your message late, I was out. Cool! How about tomorrow for breakfast? I'll pay :D

officialquokka: sure hehe! I'd love to go out what time tho?

leedoesknow: how does tomorrow at 9 sound? i'll send you the café

officialquokka: hello? lee know? WHADDAYAMEAN

later at chan and felix's apartment, lunch

"So, Han, Seungmin told me you've got plans tomorrow." Chan smirked at Han.

Han glared at Seungmin, who was eating his kimchi obliviously.

"Yeah, I did tell Seungmin that. I also told him to keep it a secret."

Seungmin, who had finally realized what was going on, shrugged and kept eating.

"Why would you keep a secret from us?" Felix pouted.

"I didn't mean it like that, I just didn't want you guys to get all excited." Han said.

"Well, it's great that you're in the game." Chan grinned at Han. "It'll be fun to have someone else around."

"Because I'm boring? Excuse you, oldie." Seungmin said, kimchi still in his mouth.

Now it was Chan's turn to glare at Seungmin.

Felix, who was watching all this, said, "Well, I told you the club was a good idea. And guess what? Felix is never wrong. Now tell me about Lee Know."

"You already know about him." Han said.

"Yeah, well, I'm not the one going on a date with him! I meant what have you learnt about him?" Felix rolled his eyes.

"The date's tomorrow, Felix, all I've figured out is he drinks coffee."

"Wow, because that's really fascinating." Felix rolled his eyes again. "You find out all the fun stuff."

"Tell me fun stuff about Chan then." Seungmin said.

"I'm your best friend, idiot." Chan huffed dramatically.

"Is it a best friend thing that you and Han have? Gift of the obvious, or is it just old people stuff?" Seungmin smiled.

"Shut the fuck up, Minnie. You're in your twenties too."

"And yet I don't have cracking joints."

"I don't either!" Chan said indignantly.

Seungmin and Felix rolled their eyes while Han tried not to laugh with great difficulty.

meanwhile at lee know's house

"Hey hyung, you free tomorrow?" Jeongin said, mouth full of his beloved cereal.

"No, I'm going on a date tomorrow. Why?" Lee Know said, absorbed in a book.

"Ooooh, a date? With who?" Jeongin smiled.

"Mind your business, toddler." Lee Know said.

"Aw, you won't tell ME? Your cute little toddler?" Jeongin pouted.

"Jisung. I'm going with Jisung." Lee Know rolled his eyes.

"Who, Han?" Jeongin asked.

"Do you know any other Jisungs?" Lee Know asked.

"I didn't know he was gay. Nor did I know you were, too!" Jeongin said.

"Toddlers usually don't know these things." Hyunjin said, coming in the room and putting his arms around Jeongin.

Jeongin smiled as Hyunjin sat next to him, arm on his shoulder.

Lee Know knew they'd liked each other for a long time, but it took even longer for the two of them to confess it. Once they had confessed, and they'd started dating, Lee Know knew they were perfect for each other. They could brighten each other's moods just by being there. Lee Know hadn't felt that with anyone for a long time. That got him thinking about Han, the cute boy he'd asked out on a date. Lee Know didn't know what he felt about him, but he was just different. Different in a way that, Lee Know found himself liking.

"So, date with Jisung, eh?" Hyunjin said.

"Do I need to repeat myself every time you three will ask?" Lee Know said.

"Just want to get the details right." Hyunjin grinned.

"I swear if you spread a rumor, I'll-" Lee Know started.

"I won't, I won't, promise." Hyunjin smiled slyly. "My lips are sealed."

Lee Know glared at Jeongin. "And you?"

Jeongin mimed zipping his lip. Lee Know felt annoyed.

"I'm going out." He said.

"You just went out!" Hyunjin said.

"I'll take a walk." Lee Know replied.

Lee Know stepped out and started walking, already lost in his own thoughts. It'd been so long since he'd dated anyone, yet he just felt like there was something about Han. What did he even know about Han anyway? Sure, he was cute, handsome, and pretty much on Lee Know's mind a lot since the texts, but...

His thoughts were interrupted by an incoming call. Lee Know's heart leapt when he saw the number.

What do they want now? He wondered, his every instinct screaming as he pressed Accept.

"Hello?" Lee Know said.
