"So, have you seen Jimin today?" Hoseok's voice muffled in a mouthful of salad, a piece of lettuce stuck stubbornly to the corner of his lips.


Jeongguk didn't look up from his studies, a gentle breeze caressed at his fingers while he typed away on his laptop.


"No. Haven't seen him in a while. He said he's sick," he replied nonchalantly, brows slowly falling into a gentle furrow. Then after finally breaking focus, he sighed out loudly.


Hoseok continued. "He's been really distant lately, you know? And he won't tell me anything... Are you sure he's alright?"


Jeongguk gnawed at his lip.


No, he's in love with you, is what he wanted to say. But they weren't words Hoseok should be hearing from him.


"He'll be fine," is what he settled on, then proceeded to rub his temples in frustration.


Hoseok narrowed his eyes. "And... what about you, is your assignment really that annoying?"


Jeongguk leaned back with another audible sigh. "I'm not... really focused on that right now.."


"Then what are you sighing left and right about?"


The boy tapped his fingers mindlessly over the table. He knew exactly what was bothering him and why. But for some unconventional reason, he felt heavy talking about it. As though it should be something kept to himself. Ultimately, that man just had that effect on him. Yet, this was his Hoseok-hyung he was talking to. There would be no harm in ranting, surely.


"It's... It's Taehyung, I... I just—"


"—Morning, lovelies!" A voice swiftly interrupted him, brown strands of hair lifting into the air, a shine from the sun casting from her head. Jeongguk swivelled to the side to see Yerin cheerily approaching the two, only to plop herself down beside Hoseok on the outdoor bench.


"Baby, what... are you doing here?" Hoseok blinked in surprise.


"What, I can't visit my boyfie between classes?" she pouted, then laughed softly while she reached a finger to wipe the lettuce from his mouth. "You have food stuck to your face, you dumb baby." She turned to Jeongguk. "Hi Ggukie! How's my favorite little man doing?"


"Hey, noona," the boy chuckled with cute rosy cheeks. "How's the jetlag?"


"Aw, baby, not too bad. I'm settling in our new apartment really well, at the very least," Yerin grinned. "What were we talking about? Did I interrupt something?"


"Hm, nah. Jeongguk was just about to tell me about his sex life again, I think," Hoseok shrugged.


Jeongguk's face turned redder. "Hey, I wasn't—!"
