It was Monday morning again. Everyone seemed pretty exhausted. Heeseung gulping down coffee with a sleepy Sunoo on his shoulder, Ni-ki was also sleepy, leaning on the other side of Sunoo. The seven gathered outside of the school building before class but it was clear there was something. Jake and Sunghoon always talked and we're inseparable, even during the early morning. Jay squinted before rubbing his eyes, yawning right after.

"Is something wrong with you guys?" Heeseung asked while pointing his coffee cup at Jake and Sunghoon, moving his shoulder so that Sunoo laid more comfortably. "No, nothing—" Jake yawned. "Nothing is wrong," Sunghoon nodded and went to take a seat on the arm of the bench, leaning to balance himself. Using his hand to grip the backing of the seat and his other on Jay's shoulder, he sat upright though he could feel the tiredness taking over.

"Us five talked over text and we're planning to go get boba after school, are you guys coming?" Sunghoon could see Jake's face brighten at this question, smiling to himself a little. "I'm in," Jake exclaimed before turning to hear the younger's response to Heeseung. "I'm coming too," Jake blushed a little, turning away when their eyes locked together.

Jay placed his book down on the desk, taking his backpack off to hang it on the chair. Sunghoon was already sitting at the desk beside him. "Did you finish the homework?" Sunghoon mumbled while frantically scribbling things onto the workbook in front of him. Half of it was completely empty and it was obvious that he didn't pay attention to last week's class. Flipping through the other book beside him, Jay sighed and took his workbook out of his backpack, throwing it onto his table. "Just hurry it up," The older paused to sit down at his desk. "You had all weekend to do it yet you still didn't finish it, what happened? I'm guessing that you were with Jake?" Sunghoon froze with a blush covering his pale cheeks, moving his free hand to rest his head on.

"Yeah, we hung out on Saturday," Jay nodded, signaling for him to continue explaining. "Seriously, explain. It's very clear that something happened when you were together, it was so quiet this morning" They already had talked about the whole situation before Jake left to go home but it didn't remove the fact that they both still didn't know what to think of the whole thing. Sunghoon knew for a fact that he didn't mind it either but he also didn't know what they were anymore. Were they more than friends now? Did they both confess what type of feelings they have for each other with that one kiss?

"Jake and I..." Jay hummed and went to rest his chin in his left palm, turning his whole body to face Sunghoon. "We kissed and it was really awkward after... We sort of discussed it but I don't know how Jake really felt about it," Sunghoon ran his hand through his hair, biting on his bottom lip. "How did you feel?" The older asked simply, flipping open his notebook with a pen in his hand. "Well I honestly think I have feelings for him, it's just—I'm scared I made him uncomfortable with the kiss."

"What was his reaction to the kiss?" He continued to question on. Their classmates began to fill up the rest of the seats quickly. "He—He may have kissed me again right after," "Are you serious?! You guys really need to talk. He kissed you again? Dude you need to sit down with him and talk about your feelings for each other." Jay himself didn't have much experience in dating but seeing the whole situation unfold in front of him was painfully hard to watch.

"But I—" The older put his hands over his ears and began to shake his head. "I love you and all but you're really stupid," Sunghoon furrowed his eyebrows and frowned, shaking his head as well. "Not my fault! This is my first time feeling like this..." The bell rang as their teacher stood up to begin the lesson. "All the advice I have to give is talk with him," Sunghoon nodded slowly, looking out of the window.

"Jake hyung, are things with Sunghoon alright?" Jungwon asked carefully after taking little glances at Sunoo for approval. The three were currently walking around the cafeteria trying to find an empty table for themselves. The others were busy with their own things today so it would only be the three of them for now. "C-can I be honest?" Jake stated when they took a seat, a blush already beginning to cover his cheeks.

Sunoo saw this and smiled, lifting both of his eyebrows in a teasing manner. "Did something happen that we should know about?" The blonde male scoot just a little bit closer to the oldest, shoulders touching as he leaned down to listen to him. Jungwon was on the other side of his, looking at him through his dark bangs that covered his eyes slightly. "Sunghoon and I kissed, it's been awkward since Saturday. But we both haven't talked about how we really feel about it, we were too caught up in our thoughts to begin talking about it," He could hear the two younger males squeal at this.

"Oh my, I knew it!" Sunoo gasped, putting his index finger in the air before smirking towards Jungwon. "Well, it didn't seem like he disliked it right?" Jungwon questioned, moving his legs to cross over each other. The male shook his head, his nervousness was very obvious. "And I'm assuming you didn't dislike it either?" Jungwon added, watching in the corner of his eye as Sunoo held a breath. "I didn't dislike it..." The two smiled at each other.

"What should I do guys, I don't want it to be awkward anymore but I also don't know where to start" Jake whined, putting his head against the white table. The cold surface cooled his warm cheeks quickly. "I'm sure Sunghoon hyung wants to talk as well," Sunoo stated while going to open his drink. Jake turned his head to pay attention to the younger speaking, nodding slowly.

"So go and talk with him, as soon as you both are ready"
