"HE DID WHAT?!"

Han clamped his hand over Felix's mouth. "Dude, hush! I don't need the whole school knowing my business," he said through gritted teeth.

Felix removed Han's hand from his mouth. "Sorry, it's just...a lot."

"For real, and when were you going to tell us you went on a date?" Jeongin asked.

Han put his head in his hands. "I didn't know it was a date."

Seungmin looked at him in disbelief. "Damn, you are so blind. I mean, at least you have us to steer you in the right direction," he shrugged.

Han nodded, his head still in his hands.

The first thing he had done this morning was run to the school and find his friends. Thankfully, they all had first period together, so it was easy to find them in one place.

The four of them sat in a square pattern at their desks, where Felix and Han sat next to each other with Seungmin and Jeongin directly behind them.

"Okay, so just to reiterate: you guys went on a date, he kissed you on the cheek, and you cuddled, but you still aren't confident in telling him your feelings?" Seungmin counted each point with his fingers to emphasize his argument.

Han sighed. "Look, I-"

The door of the classroom slammed shut with a bang, abruptly ending the conversation. Their teacher walked over to his desk and faced the class. "Alright losers, time to learn some chemistry."

"You're fucking with us, aren't you?" Hyunjin asked.

Minho wiped his face with his hands. "I wish I was," he said, exasperated.

"You actually kissed him?" Changbin asked, in shock. Minho only nodded in response.

The lunch table grew quiet for a moment as they all processed Minho's situation.

"Dude, he's in love with you," Chan stated.

Minho glared at him. "I wouldn't go that far..."

"Has he openly told you that the kiss or the cuddling made him uncomfortable?" Changbin posed.

Minho sighed as he thought. "Well, no-"

"-Then why the fuck are you so nervous? Oh shit, here they come." Hyunjin nodded to the four first-years walking towards them, lunches in hand.

"Hey!" Felix greeted them brightly. Changbin smiled and pat the spot next to him, which Felix happily went to.

"Hey..." Han said hesitantly. He sat down next to Minho.

"Hey, Ji," he replied. He decided it was best to act like everything was normal. He laid his arm over Han's shoulders casually. "How was that test in second period?"

Han blinked a few times before smiling. "It was fine, I know I at least passed."

"Well that's good," Minho said sweetly.

"-so we need to talk about your birthday," Chan said.

Minho turned his head to face him, pointing at himself to make sure he was the one Chan was talking to.

Chan rolled his eyes. "Yes, you. Your birthday is in a week. What kind of cake do you want?"

Everyone looked at Minho attentively. "Umm, how about chocolate?"
