The Things We Do For Friends...

Chapter 2

Hyunwoo awoke to a barrage of unwelcome texts summoning him out of his pit bright and early, two hours before his lessons were due to begin. He threw himself upright, shrugging on a hoodie of questionable ownership and let out a soft sigh, gazing over at the sleeping figure opposite, Hoseok had his face snuggled into his oversized plush rabbit snoring sweetly with his blankets tucked up around his face. "You're lucky your cute" Hyunwoo said with a sigh as he silently crept out of the dorm.

The library was eerily quiet this time of the morning, even the main desk was empty. Hyunwoo wandered aimlessly, listening to the hum of the computers as his eyes scanned the room for the younger boy that had called him here.

As if on cue Kihyun's head popped up over a row of screens smiling broadly, far to chipper for this time of the morning. "Hey over here!" Kihyun called out waving him over to a row of computers at the back of the room, where a chubby faced boy with a mess of brown hair and black rimmed glasses was sat beside him.

"This is Jooheon, our helper for today" Kihyun announced happily as Hyunwoo grunted a greeting that the boy waved off, "So why am I here?" Hyunwoo complained, yawning lazily as he plopped down into the seat the other side of the Jooheon. "Cause you are necessary for this plan to work" Kihyun spat back sassily, shaking his head slightly as if this should be obvious.

"Care to enlighten me, what is this plan?" Hyunwoo drawled in response, smirking slightly as Jooheon stifled a giggle. "Hyungwon and Hoseok are in the same History class" Kihyun said, talking with his hands as he blabbed on with unnecessary details, as always. "Ok?" Hyunwoo said, realising that Kihyun was pausing for a response.

Kihyun nodded, seemingly satisfied with the bare minimum that Hyunwoo was giving him, "They have a project that has to be in by Monday, on... dystopian ideals and stereotypes which they have been told they have to use a specific book for reference" Kihyun explained, reading off a sheet of paper that was clearly labelled to Hyungwon.

"Ok... and?" Hyunwoo asked with shrug, not sure where this was going. "We're going to check out every copy forcing Hyungwon to ask Hoseok to share" Kihyun beamed giggling excitedly as he clapped his hands together. "Doesn't that seem excessive?" Hyunwoo stuttered out rubbing his temples in confusion, "Won't he just ask someone else? Someone he knows?" Hyunwoo whined, this plan was ridiculous. "It's not excessive! You have a better idea?" Kihyun whined, crossing his arms like a bratty toddler, "No" Hyunwoo shrugged, he fell silent giving up, he had signed up for this after all.

"We will make sure he talks to Hoseok" Jooheon said finally looking up from the screen and offering a small smile, exposing dimples in his cheeks that Hyunwoo felt the urge to poke, so he did. Kihyun swatted his hand away angrily, "Hyunwoo you can't just touch people!" He scolded as Hyunwoo gazed up at him confused before shrugging, "You can't just scold people older than you" Hyunwoo retorted with a smug grin as Kihyun sulked back into his seat, lost for words.

"He's got you there hyung" Jooheon giggled sweetly, "It's ok, everyone likes to touch the dimples" he added smiling widely so he's cheeks went all squishy reminding Hyunwoo of Hoseok.

"So let's get started" Kihyun grinned, ignoring their earlier exchange, "We need to focus if we want to get this done before the librarian starts" he added jumping up out of his seat. "Get started on what?" Hyunwoo whined as he got to his feet, cursing at himself for being such a loyal friend. "Well whilst Jooheon hacks into the accounts to check each book out we need to take them off the shelves.... And then deliver them to the other students" Kihyun said shyly as Hyunwoo followed him down the aisles, hands outstretched as he offered to be a human trolley.
