boring brother 🤓: i'm home, where are you? 

the one time he doesn't check his phone, his brother decides to be at home. jungwon sighed as he walked back home alone. 

"hyung! you need to get out of this soul sucking laboratory and head out," jungwon nagged as he placed the lunch he packed for his brother beside a microscope. 

it was already the next morning and jungwon found his brother had already left for university at the crack of dawn. 

 "can't. i have to collect more data." 

jungwon rolled his eyes. his brother was the only one at the lab right now at eight in the morning when his class starts at ten. he lived, breathed in that damn laboratory while his other friends who also majored in physics seemed to have much much better work-life balance which is practically non-existent to his brother. 

"yah park sunghoon, have you seen—" the door busted open as beomgyu clambered into the lab with a bunch of apparatus in his arms. 

"oh hi jungwonnie!" beomgyu attempted at waving. 

keyword: attempted. he nearly dropped a thousand dollar contraption by doing so. jungwon chuckled at beomgyu's near panic attack at the thought of nearly paying for damages before leaving for his class that starts in fifteen. 

"have you seen the new dude who enrolled into liberal arts? he completely put joohyun in place!" beomgyu shoved his phone under sunghoon's nose that had a video of the incident last night. 

sunghoon pushed beomgyu's arm away, "not right now hyung. i'm doing something." 

"when are you not but at least listen to me." 

sunghoon sighed, beomgyu is really smart but for every brain cell the man has, his ability to speak endlessly just doubles. 

"i went snooping around online this morning. apparently his name is kim sunoo, he's also apparently very good friends with the hot business major jay. some are saying that they must be together since they only smile and laugh around each other—" 

sunghoon nodded absentmindedly as beomgyu drones on until something pricks at his mind. he momentarily paused before turning to beomgyu. "what was his name again?" 

"yah weren't you listening? that boy's in your brother's class. kim sunoo." 

there's no way it's him. 

before sunghoon could comprehend, he was already dashing towards the faculty of liberal arts, without even removing his lab coat. 

"excuse me." "coming through." sunghoon breathed out as he navigated through the campus of liberal arts. 

think sunghoon. which classroom could your brother be in right now? 

"i met a new friend yesterday in the lecture hall. he's not my friend but..." 

sunghoon remembered jungwon chatting away about a new guy last night after coming back from the party. 

"excuse me where's the lecture hall?" sunghoon pulled a random girl aside. 

"i—i..." she stuttered, a blush tinting her cheeks as she tucked a piece of hair behind her ears trying to maintain eye contact with sunghoon.
