"It feels like it's been forever since we hung out, Jisungie," Felix complains, his arm wrapped around Jisung's shoulder as they walk. "I know you like Minho but I misssss you."
"I know, I'm sorry," Jisung sighs as they return from the car. He had agreed to go to the mall with his friend but didn't realize it would've taken four fucking hours. "But he's hanging out with the group a little bit, every so often, right? When he's comfortable, we'll all hang."
"Yeah, until you two start to date and you want privacy."
"Whoa, whoa!" Jisung pulls away and stares in bewilderment. "D-dating?!"
Felix raises a brow. "Yeah, dating. You know, when two people like each other, that's what TENDS to happen."
"Hey, I'm not even sure he likes me!"
"Seriously?" The blonde smirks. "After he does shit like call you Hannie, when he doesn't give anyone else nicknames. Let's you take selfies with him but when Jeongin asks, he threatens to break his phone."
"Y-yeah but-"
"He lets you rest your head on him but when I tried, he asked me if I wanted to die."
"I think he was kidding," Jisung mumbles, sighing when Felix gives him a pointed look. "Okay but he-"
"Hey, what the hell is your problem?" Jisung and Felix give each other a strange look when they hear Hyunjin's voice. "Do you like Jisung or something?"
"Did something give you that impression?" He hears Minho ask. The blonde raises a brow at the student but they both stay silent.
"Seriously? You're kidding me, right? You're always giving him these stupid puppy eyes or calling him cute nicknames-"
"Hannie is the only one I gave him and if I remember correctly, the other boys call him nicknames too. I guess since Jisung calls Felix 'Lix' or Jeongin 'Innie', it must mean he has a crush on them."
Hyunjin scoffs. "That's not what I meant! Not only that but whenever I try to get close to him, you're pulling him away physically or changing the subject."
All of them go silent for a few moments. "You don't have any manners then..." Minho speaks up.
"What?!"
"You think I have a thing for Jisung and yet you're still going after him. Don't you think that's a bit rude?"
"That's-"
"And he's an adult, you know. If he wants to spend time with you, he's free to do so. I'm not forcing him to be around me all the time," Minho continues.
Hyunjin huffs. "So, you do like him..."
The dancer goes quiet for a few seconds. "I'm growing...to really enjoy his company."
"So that's a yes."
"Maybe. Though, you should stop being so invested in my relationship with Jisung and look around you for once. You might see someone who's always trying to get YOUR attention."
"What?! Who...?"
"The next time we're in class, pay less attention to Jisung and more towards the youngest one."
"...Jeongin?"
"Maybe. Now, if we're done..."
Jisung and Felix quickly look at each other, unsure what to do when they hear footsteps approach their direction. Seeming to panic, the blonde reaches over and harshly pinches the other boy's side.
"Yah, ow!" Jisung yelps, glaring at his friend. "What was that for?!"
"Stop leaving your shoes on my side of the room!"
