This is not a love story but a story about love, friendship and second chances.
Sunoo fell in love with probably the most handsome person he has seen in his whole life. Their story was going well until Sunghoon left him without saying goodbye.
Sunoo and Ni-ki being the first shifters, made sure that all systems were running before opening the library for the students. Early birds started pouring in to get the first dibs on the books required for their respective subjects and courses. It was a moderately busy morning for the two which made Sunoo miss several texts and calls from Jungwon.
After their shift, Sunoo went about his busy morning attending classes without even checking his phone for a second. After his classes that morning, he saw several missed calls from Jungwon and assumed that he must've been waiting for him at the cafeteria for lunch. He hurriedly went to the cafeteria without checking Jungwon's messages as he knew how his bestfriend becomes when someone is not punctual.
Sunoo spotted Jungwon with Jay and hurried over to their table.
"Hey, sorry. Busy morning. Gosh!" Sunoo apologized, huffing from all the running he did.
"Baliw ka... kanina pa ko tawag ng tawag! Nabasa mo ba mga texts ko?!" Jungwon scolded.
"Sorry, di ko na nabuksan. Bakit di pa kayo bumili ng food?" Sunoo asked trying to change the subject.
"Ummm..." Jay hesitated, anxious.
"Basahin mo yung texts ko... dali!" Jungwon told Sunoo urgently.
"Huh? Bakit ba? Teka..." Sunoo pulled out his phone, "Andito naman na ko... ano ba kasi to?"
Sunoo opened his convo with Jungwon and scrolled up. And as he was reading it, someone sat beside him. He looked up and saw the same boyish charm and shy smile he remembered.

Sunghoon caught up with Sunoo in an almost empty hallway to the library. He held Sunoo's arm and Sunoo swatted it off, he then raise both of his hands as if surrendering.
Sunoo paused and faced Sunghoon but he couldn't say anything. He wanted to hug Sunghoon, to slap him, to punch him, to hold him. He wanted to cry, to ask the many why's he has, to tell him to go away. But he couldn't do anything. He just looked at Sunghoon in disbelief and in awe and relief.
Sunghoon slowly dropped his hands and reached for Sunoo's hand. Sunoo let him.
"S-sunoo... I'm so-"
"Please... okay na ko." Sunoo cut him off. Sunoo smiled and pulled his hand away from Sunghoon, "Okay na ko."
Sunoo smiled and then he walked away.

Heeseung, Jay, Jake and Sunghoon were hanging out on the stairs.
"Buti naman naisipan mong bumalik." Heeseung told Sunghoon.
"May gusto kasing balikan." Jay said.
"Nakuuuu, patay tayo dyan. Hahah!"
"Yun nga sabi namin sa kanya na mahihirapan sya."
"Oo nga, mukhang imposible na." Jake added.
"Ay dyan ako disagree.. walang imposible." Heeseung opposed.
"Eh di goodluck." Jay grinned.
"Hoon, you know this is all on you." Jake said, "Gusto ka man naming tulungan pero foul kasi yung ginawa mo eh."
"Baka naman may reason sya. Di lang natin alam." Heeseung offered.
"No..." Sunghoon answered, "Tama sila. I was a douche. Don't worry, I know na ako lang makakaayos nito."
"Support pa rin naman kami sayo, Silently nga lang. Heheh..." Jay said.
"Oo, tsaka, baka pag-untugin kami ni Won." Jake added.
"Naku! Kung kutsilyo lang yung tingin nun, puro na ko siguro saksak sa katawan. Mas grabe kaba ko nun nung nakita nya si Hoon kesa kay Sunoo eh. Para akong kakainin ng buhay. Katakot." Jay complained which made Jake and Heeseung laughed. Sunghoon just merely smiled.
