Ménage à Trois (A Feverish Series)

Wang Yibo

Jeff rounded the corner of the University's main cafeteria. Of course, they have their own at the Arts and Music college building, however, there were some people there whom he'd rather not spend his lunch break with. He just wanted to be left alone and read the manuals sent to him by the record company he will be interning at.

"Oh, come on Yibo! You know you are the only one we can count on this. Are you going to let our college go down the drain on our last year in this university?" Youn beamed as the rest of the pack surrounding them nod in agreement.

Yibo kept a straight face as he bit on the sandwich that Jeff prepared as breakfast for the three of them, which he was not able to eat because he was running late so he packed them for lunch instead.

"Youn leave Yibo alone, will you? He had been cramming on projects and there is also his debate team competition." Mian-Mian smacked Youn on the back of his head to get the latter's attention.

Yibo mouthed a 'thank you' to which the woman replied with a smile.

"Who will lead the basketball team if not him then?" Youn whined at Mian-Mian, "Besides the fact that he can gather a big crowd because he is famous, he also can bring us to the finals."

"That seems to be a You problem" Yanli, Mian-mian's girlfriend interjected in the conversation.

Amidst all these, Jeff quietly passed the group and seated himself at the far corner of the almost empty cafeteria, away from the lively crowd. He breathed a sigh of relief as he settled himself at the table unnoticed - so he thought.

Yibo, who saw Jeff the moment he peeked from the door before entering, narrowed his eyes as his gaze followed Jeff's every movement. Once he saw that the latter had taken out his food and started reading some papers, Yibo stood up and walked towards Jeff's table.

Jeff noticed, Please don't come over, don't come over

"You stray far from your turf," Yibo said curiously

"I can be anywhere inside the university so long as I don't bother anyone, I believe" Jeff retorted

Yibo smiled and sat in front of Jeff.

"Thanks for the sandwiches, they taste good"

"Really? I experimented on them" Jeff said smiling

"Just don't put poison and I will eat every food experiment you'll make," Yibo said as his thumb reached for Jeff's lips to remove a stain of mayo and bring it near his lips to lick it with his tongue.

Gasps can be heard from the group at the other table.

"Do you want soda?" ignoring his friends' hushed whispers

Jeff nodded, "Please?"

"Don't tell Bibi, okay? I don't want to get in trouble" Yibo warned, remembering how Bible scolded both him and Jeff for buying too many cans of soda that day they went for groceries.

Jeff laughed as he watched Yibo make his way to the counter. He also heard the whispers from the group on the side, so he glanced at them to give a nod down and a shy smile.

"Wow, he is really pretty," he heard one of them say in a low tone.

"He is, that is why that idiot at the counter is crushing on him" Youn, if Jeff remembers correctly as Yibo's best buddy, replied to the other person's statement.

It made Jeff blush a little which Yibo noticed as the latter came back with soda in hand.

"I'll stay with you until you are done with lunch then I'll walk you back to your building" Yibo
