Sungchan had stuck around Jihoon for a while now, it didn't really bother anyone they liked him. Except for Hyunsuk, he thought this was an issue. However, he tried not to let his feelings take over as Jihoon always just treated the younger male as a little brother.

Jihoon doesn't like him like that.

Hyunsuk always told himself this, but if he wasn't worried why would he have to constantly keep reminding himself? It was stupid.

Right now they were all at lunch since some didn't have class and some were canceled, It was fortunate for the friend group since they had really found the time to hang out anymore. Mashiho had nudged Jihoon catching his attention from whatever Sungchan was telling him about his first class.

"Yeah, Mashi?"

"Nothing just Hyunsuk looks like he's about to strangle Sungchan," Mashiho held back a laugh.

Jihoon took a quick glance and Mashiho was right. Hyunsuk wasn't red in anger or anything, he had a light glare set in his eyes and annoyed slack in his jaw. Jihoon would be lying if he said jealousy wasn't a good look on the older. 

He's so fine.

Jihoon blinked realizing this wasn't the time to be swooning over Hyunsuk especially since they haven't exactly talked to each other for a couple of days. Jihoon looked at Sungchan who was now making conversation with Yoshi and Junghwan.

The poor boy was so oblivious.

"Hey Sungchan," Jihoon spoke up drawing the boy's attention.

Sungchan's eyes glowed, "yes hyung?"

"Did you meet any potential friends?"

Sungchan clapped with a bright smile, "there was this cute smaller boy named Shotaro, I hope to become close to him!"

Jihoon pinched the boy's cheek, "how cute."

Sungchan swatted the boy's hand away with a whine, "hyung!"

"Sorry, sorry, I'm just so proud that soon you will be making your own circle as I have," Jihoon smiled.

Sungchan smiled back, "it's great huh? Soon I'll be out of your hair, I do really like your friends though but, I do feel like I'm getting in the way." 

Jihoon shook his head, "Don't worry about it, most of us are about to graduate like me so sadly I can't always be around."

Sungchan nodded placing a hand on Jihoon's, "yeah but I'm really thankful that I met you Hyung, you helped me out so much. I'm nearly a pro at navigating my way through the campus to my classes and dorm."

Jihoon just chuckled patting the boy's hand with his other hand, "you're welcome, Sungchan it's nearly one didn't you have a meeting with your counselor?"

Sungchan's eyes widened, "oh shoot!"

Sungchan pulled Jihoon into a quick hug before getting up and bowing to everyone, "I'll be leaving first."

In unison a series of byes and see you laters was directed towards the boy leaving.

Jaehyuk smiled, "he's such a nice boy."

"Yeah, he reminds me of a younger you," Jihoon chuckled.

Jaehyuk rolled his eyes, "okay, we don't need to get into that."

The boys laughed as Jaehyuk dismissed his past self. Jihoon looked over at Hyunsuk who sat in front of him spacing out in the direction Sungchan had left. Jihoon adjusted his legs to kick Hyunsuk from under the table to snap himself out of his thoughts, acting like it wasn't him.

"Ow, what the fuck."

Jeongwoo looked over with worried eyes, "Hyung are you okay?"

Hyunsuk rubbed his calf looking at everyone's curious and worried eyes except for the one person who wasn't looking at him, "yeah, I just got a cramp."

Jihoon looked smiled cheekily at Hyunsuk, was he teasing me? He's so mean.

Doyoung who was sitting next to Hyunsuk leaned over to him, "relax he's just trying to lighten the mood."

Hyunsuk looked at Doyoung, "by kicking me?"

"Honestly you deserved it, avoiding him the way you do. Also, I don't know if you realized that you looked like you were going to kill Sungchan just you should be glad that Sungchan doesn't read the room very well. If I was him I would have left a while ago."

"Really?"

"You would have made me uncomfortable and if you were listening he just started here a couple of days ago and Jihoon was in charge of showing him around," Doyoung said.

Hyunsuk sighed, "now I just feel like an ass."

"You are but, he didn't pick up on that so don't worry. Just understand that Jihoon is his first friend here and so Jihoon brought him to expand his friendships soon as he finds his own group of friends we probably will see less of him, do you still talk to Hongjoong Sunbae?"

Hyunsuk shook his head, "no."

"See, you are being over dramatic, it will be okay Hyung. Now eat your food or it will get cold," Doyoung stated pointing at the male's food.

"Doyoung, It's a salad, it's already cold."

Doyoung just places a finger over his own lips, "shhh."

Hyunsuk shook his head with a smile on his face, he's such a dork.

After lunch, Hyunsuk broke away from the group of friends he was with and made his way toward his faculty. He felt a light push in his shoulder he turned and saw Jihoon.

"Jihoon?"

The male stopped looking at the male, he was confused and also couldn't read the male's face.

"What is your problem?"

Hyunsuk blinked, "what are you talking about?"

"If you aren't going to express your feeling just keep them to yourself," Jihoon said.

Hyunsuk scoffed, "seriously what are you talking about?"

"Why did you look at Sungchan like that earlier," Jihoon asked, his big brother instincts kicking in. "Do you have a problem with him?"

Hyunsuk shook his head, "no, no, Jihoon calm down it just took me a second to realize he's new and I didn't understand why he was there."

Jihoon scoffed, "just admit it already."

"Admit what?"

"I don't know."

"I can't give you the answer you want if you don't even know."

"Admit you're jealous, that you like me and you don't want to see me with anyone else," Jihoon mumbled but it was quiet, and Hyunsuk didn't know if Jihoon wanted him to reply to his comment. Jihoon threw his hands up in the air, "you know what? Talking to you was pointless."

Hyunsuk was so confused as Jihoon stormed off, he tilted his head, "what the hell was that about?"
