"Sunoo? Kim Sunoo, are you there? Are you breathing? Are you alive?"

While his body was sitting slouched in class, Kim Sunoo's eyes could not be taken off of the senior that was waiting for him patiently outside of his class.

After the 'incident' with Niki, Sunghoon had suddenly more touchy with him. While it was sizably smaller things, such as hand-holding, picking him up from class, and just being within a 10 meter radius of him, Sunoo still felt his cheeks burn whenever Sunghoon did so. He couldn't help it, obviously. How could he not react when his crush of multiple years was suddenly cozying up to him in public space?

Right then, Sunghoon had on attire that was considered casual for school but, in Sunoo's opinion, made him look so much more attractive. The look was so effortless it quickly succeeded in swiping Sunoo off his feet.

Sunghoon turned towards him before the younger could register the action, meeting his eyes. Sunoo gulped, his cheeks burning as he could clearly see Sunghoon begin to chuckle, staring at him with a look Sunoo didn't allow himself to describe as 'fond.'

"Psst. Your boyfriend is kinda hot, not gonna lie."

At Niki's voice, Sunoo's mind immediately returned to his classroom, finding everyone scattered in small cliques. Niki had chose to turn his chair and sit directly across from Sunoo, staring at him with a devilish curiosity.

Sunoo glared at Niki, flicking his forehead. "Sunghoon hyung isn't my boyfriend."

"Ah, but you stare at him with those lovely dovey eyes~ doesn't that mean you like him?" Niki pestered, showing Sunoo his signature cheeky grin. 

In that moment, Sunoo found his grin to be very ugly. How dare that young unfortunately smart kid tease him about his crush? And only boost his delulu fantasy that one day Sunghoon would in fact be his boyfriend?

With warm cheeks, Sunoo slumped his posture, resting his cheek on his palm. "So what if I like him? He only sees me as his friend anyways...

"Yah...why are you looking at me like that?"

Niki was suddenly staring at him with a mischievous grin, though it was different -more troublesome- than before. "Let's test that little assumption of yours, since Mr. Prince-Charming is outside anyways."

Before Sunoo could object or stop Niki from doing his devil's work, the younger boy reached across the table and pinched his cheeks, squishing them with an overdone affectionate look on his face.

"Nishimura, what the fuck are you doing?" Sunoo whispered, wincing in annoyance.

Niki let go of his cheeks, reaching down and playing with Sunoo's hands. "Just go with it, I'm trying to get you a good reaction."

Despite not trusting Niki and being awfully fed up with the boy's dumb ways, Sunoo complied, letting the boy be all touchy-touchy with him in the way he would find less appalling if Sunghoon were to be the one in front of him instead.

The dismissal bell rang suddenly, ringing in Sunoo's ears as he relaxed, thinking the trouble would be over. "That wasn't fun. Okay Niki, get lost-"

Before he was even halfway out of his seat, Sunoo heard his favorite voice pierce through the classroom. 

"Kim Sunoo!"

Niki snickered, slowly retracting his hands from Sunoo's, sending the boy a sly wink and mouthing 'You're welcome~'.

Sunoo turned his head, only for Sunghoon to instantly take his bag and pack it up. A vein strained on the elder's neck, though he didn't show any big sign of discomfort.

"Hyung, it's fine I can-" Sunoo started, reaching to his back with a sudden embarrassment he didn't expect himself to feel. 

Sunghoon yanked the younger's bag onto his shoulder, shaking his head and holding his hand out to Sunoo. He looked at the boy, biting his lip before taking that same hand he had held out and wiping Sunoo's cheeks.

"Sunghoon hyung- what are you doing?" Sunoo muttered, his cheeks burning red, the boy knowing very well Sunghoon could feel his flusteredness but was merely choosing not to comment on it.

"I'm getting germs off your face. Be thankful." Sunghoon muttered, sending Niki a glare. "Come on then, let's go. I didn't wait for you so we could stay here."

Though Sunoo did hesitate on exiting, Sunghoon took the boy's hand in his, immediately shutting the boy up and making him lap up Sunghoon's actions like a dog.

They began to walk out of the building, and only then did Sunghoon utter something else to him. "That Niki kid...I don't like him."

The junior honestly felt very happy at that statement, believe it or not. The younger's head-over-heels mind translated that very sentence to be of jealousy, one that Nishimura had caused. He owed the kid one, seriously.

Happily, Sunoo tightened his grip on Sunghoon's hand, smiling up at him. "It's fine, Sunghoon hyung. We're not super close anyways, he's kind of just there to entertain me."

This seemed to relax Sunghoon a bit, the male tilting the corners of his mouth up at Sunoo. "Really?" 

At Sunoo's nod of confirmation, Sunghoon seemed to have perked up even more, rushing them over to the bus and immediately sitting next to the younger.

Throughout that one small bus ride, Sunoo could only think about two things:

Sunghoon's hand, that still was firmly entwined with his,

and the possibility, the mere possibility, that Sunghoon liked him too.
