"I am sincerely very sorry, Sicheng. What happened the other day was very unprofessional of me. I hope you can forgive me.", Yuta said the moment Sicheng entered in his apartment.

Sicheng's mood dropped. Does that mean Yuta didn't want it? He thought. Does that mean he doesn't like me? Oh what am I saying! He's my teacher, of course he's not supposed to like me. "It's okay, I forgive you.", he forced a smile.

"Great!", Yuta clasped his hands together. "Let's get on with our work then.

🍀

Yuta was sitting on a bench by a lake. The stars were shining like diamonds on the evening sky. The light breeze that blew ruffled his hair. The moonlight fell on the lake giving it a nice shimmer. The lake never failed to make Yuta relax. The bench was hidden away by the trees and bushes, so he was always alone.

He had noticed the sudden flash of disappointment and hurt in Sicheng's eyes when he had apologized that morning. Was Taeyong right then? Does he like me too? But he's my student, why would he like me?

A sudden presence startled Yuta. Whipping his head to the side, he saw Sicheng looking at him. What was he doing here? "A penny for your thoughts?", Sicheng asked. "It's nothing.", Yuta curtly answered. Sicheng nudged him. "It's not nothing. I've never seen you this serious before!", he teased, laughing. His laugh was like music to Yuta's ears. His heart skipped a beat. God, how whipped is he?

"Well, I like this person...and I don't know how to confess to him.", Yuta blushed. Sicheng felt a pang in his heart. Yuta likes someone? I knew it. Why would he even want to fall in love with me? "I think you should confess to him when you think the time is right. Wrong timings could lead to wrong answers.", Sicheng said, his voice void of any emotion.

"I will.", Yuta said, smiling. Oh how much Sicheng loved his smile. He wished he was the one making Yuta smile like this. But unfortunately not. "Hey Sicheng, is it okay if I cancel our session tomorrow?", Yuta asked. "Funny, I was just going to ask you that.", the student chuckled. "I'll see you on Tuesday then. Good night, Sichengie.", the older smiled, getting up from the bench. "Good night, Yuta.", the younger wished, his heart leaping out of his chest because of the new nickname.

🍀

"Happy Birthday, Junnie!", Sicheng greeted his brother. "Where are Jeno and Jaemin? Got any special present from them?", he teased wiggling his eyebrows.

"Sicheng ge!", Renjun blushed as he playfully hit his older brother on the arm. "Okay, okay! I'll stop now. I'll go and see if Ten's here yet."

"He's already here. He's there with Kun ge.", Renjun nodded towards the food corner. The older nodded and headed that way.

"...that was fast." "What was fast?", Sicheng questioned. "You know that Hansol guy from fourth year who confessed to Kun few days ago? He asked him out on a date.", Ten explained. "And you said..?", the youngest trailed off. "I said yes.", Kun giggled. Their excitement was cut off by an enthusiastic shout.

"Nana! Nono! You came!", Renjun ran up to them, arms wide open.

"Happy Birthday, Injunnie!", Jaemin wished as he peppered the older's face with kisses.

"Happy Birthday, Injun!", Jeno wished, showing his infamous eyesmile as he kissed his lover's forehead.

"They're so cute.", Sicheng sighed, looking at them with dreamy eyes. "Now that all of us have a partner each, we'll have to find you one.", Ten looked at Sicheng, a sly smirk playing on his lips.

"Well..I kinda do have someone in mind, but I'll tell you when the time is right."

"Who is it? I promise I won't tell anyone! Tell me, tell me, tell me! Pleaseee!", Ten pleaded, showing puppy eyes.

"Nope.", the Chinese said, popping the 'p'.

At the mention of the certain 'someone in mind', Yuta came through the doors.

Sicheng had already moved away to a corner, quietly sipping his drink. As soon he saw the student, he sauntered over to him. "Hey Sicheng."

The younger nearly choked on his drink when he saw who it was. "Y-Yuta? What are you doing here? Is this why you cancelled our session?

"It's my younger brother's boyfriend's birthday. And besides, I don't know anyone as well as I know you, so here I am.", Yuta shrugged.

"Who's your younger brother? Jaemin?", the younger asked.

The older hummed. "Hey, do you have a boyfriend?"

The younger raised an eyebrow at him in question, causing Yuta to ramble. "N-No, like I just asked you. We've known each other for sometime. I just wanted to ask you. And of course, you wouldn't have one. Silly me. You're still moving on from the break-up. Right. Do you have a crush or anything? Like- you know what. Forget it. Forget-"

"No and yes."

"Huh?

"No as in, no I don't have a boyfriend. I'm still moving on from the break-up. Yes as in, yes I have a crush."

"Y-You have a crush?", Yuta stuttered, hurt seeping through his heart. "Does he know?"

"No. But he will, eventually.", Sicheng smiled, causing butterflies to erupt in the Japanese's stomach.

Oh, how I wish I was the one making you smile like this, Sicheng.
