When Jungsu made sure that everyone is asleep, he sneaked out of the room, wandering through the dark halls on tip-toes in order to not make much noise. This part was still the scariest, because he didn't know if he would suddenly meet a teacher, but at least Jungsu now knew all the places in the laminate that didn't make any noise when he stepped on them.

He sneaked up the stairs. Once he reached the first floor, there was already the room of the boy he wanted to visit. Room 120. He put his hand on the doorknob yet as soon as he heard someone talking in the room, he refused to push it down in order to enter. Instead, he listened and could immediately hear that it was Hyeongjun and Seungmin who were talking.

".. and I can't do this anymore", he heard Seungmin cry, the volume would be the same if he stood right in front of him; The confirmation that their doors weren't soundproof at all. He heard some bedsheets shuffle, and then a sad sigh. "We'll be okay.." Hyeongjun spoke quietly and Jungsu could picture that he hugged him, based on the cries that sounded muffled now. "So far no one suspected us, that's good right? And if we don't tell anyone, how are they supposed to know?"

Wait what? Know what?
"I know but.. Look at what happened to Gunil and Jungsu when their relationship was discovered. They got lucky because Gunil is the son of that bastard but we? They'll kill us, that's for sure.." The more they we're talking, the more Jungsu seemed to understand the situation. And as the words "I love you" sounded, his hypothesis got approved; Hyeongjun and Seungmin were a couple.

And they really were secretive about it, they didn't even tell their closest friends that. All the time everyone thought they were just really close friends, perhaps even platonic soulmates, but in reality they were in love? Jungsu took some steps back, realizing that he shouldn't have listened in and decided to sleep in his own bed that night. So he returned, overthinking what happened. And the more Jungsu thought about it, the more moments he recalled where it was kind of obvious they were more than just friends. He prayed that nothing bad would happen to them. Being punished just because you're a person capable of loving is hard.
