The sky was as usual. The sun shone bright, the clouds shown in the clear sky. It was always the same, but the day beneath it, so different for every single one under its warm blanket. Some laughed, some cried, some suffered and some fell in love.

...

He was always on the sidelines.

That was how he was, an observer. Standing on the sidelines and looking in. Admiring in. And when he had to come up front, he ran away.

But not now. This was special. This was different. It had always been different. This was so much not like his previous crushes, when all he did was stare and observe¸ or sat in their seats when he was early, or stalked them on their social.

No, this was different. Soobin was always different.

Because he didn't run away.


"Excuse me, do you...um...do you have a partner?" Taehyun looked up, only to be met by a tall but awkward male. He had never expected this to happen and could feel his cheeks heat up.

"N-No not yet..." Taehyun let out, removing his eyes from the taller male because fuck he was staring.

"Oh, then, would you like to partner up with me?"

Taehyun nodded in response.

"Great! May I have your number then? We can meet up at some café later to finish the assignment."


This wasn't real. No, Kang Taehyun, it's not a date. It's just a friendly meeting up at a café to complete university work. Nothing more, nothing less.

He was squealing like a high school girl.

He fell back onto his bed, smiling like an idiot while holding his phone, looking through the chat with the older male, his thoughts filled by him.

He had to pick an outfit.


"Right here, hyung!" Taehyun waved with both his arms upon seeing a certain tall male. Soobin passed the younger a small smile as he approached their table.

The older bowed respectfully and scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment, "Forgive me for being late, I was actually out with my boyfriend who didn't want me to leave."

At this Taehyun froze. Right. What was he expecting, a guy like Soobin, on whom about everyone in the campus has a crush on, of course he was dating. Seeing the sudden change in the younger's face, Soobin tensed up.

"Oh, I'm sorry, are you okay with me being gay and all..."

Taehyun looked up and let out a little laugh. Forcefully.

"Oh yes yes, I'm gay myself," he said, earning a grin from the older.

"I see, shall we start with the work though?"


And so he went back to the sidelines once again.


...


"YO BG!"

The younger male turned around. There was only one person who called him that.

"Stop being loud, Yeonjun, we are literally in the corridors."

Yeonjun gave the younger a playful smile. "Since when did you start lecturing me about being loud?"
