"he loves me so much"

"he's traumatized"

the energy is unmatched, sunghoon kept pouting but jay's eyes are focused on one person, no one else, just him, he's profusely sweating, tugging on his jersey to get the sweat out of it, he's so tall and it's like the jersey itself was too stiff, he took it off, getting grounded by the coach but he kept smiling and laughing while his jersey lays on the grass "he's so fucking hot" Sunghoon's eyes opened wide, he couldn't even blink, he's staring at his friend like he said something very inappropriate which is kind of the case, but being honest shouldn't kill anyone.

"why don't you ask him out if you like him that much?"

"are you crazy" he scoffed, leaving his friend behind, sitting alone on the grass, he's too exhausted to get back on the game "come on park, get back on the game" seems like he can't chose his fate.

"alright fine" he stood up, the boy he ran after earlier was staring at him secretly, his fitted body doesn't go unnoticed through his compression shirt, he's clearly staring at them, they're kind of huge, and he's not even a woman "go there, I need you in front, I know you can do it" he secretly turned his eyes up to the sky before going where he was told, and just like that, the said boyfriend couldn't help himself from staring at sunghoon, he didn't notice it at first.

he's definitely handsome.

for some reasons, he's now hoping that the 'boyfriend' meant actual boyfriend, having one shouldn't be too bad.

Getting to know each other is a different thing, and it'll be complicated for him, he's not confident enough to talk about himself nor to ask some questions to others.

"woah be careful, I almost pushed you straight in the dirt"

He's weak in the knees.












"oh my gosh jay, I can't find him anywhere"

"he might be gone already, the day is over what did you expect" he chuckled while almost tripping in the stairs, Sunghoon's time of reaction was too slow but luckily someone else was walking up the stairs, probably because he forgot something upstairs.

"are you looking for a small trip to the hospital?" he jokingly said, but jay's cheeks became warm and red, just like his ears, it's heeseung, the tall and hot guy jay has been crushing on since eight grade now "no, not really" what's funnier is the way sunghoon completely disappeared, like he was never there, he probably saw his 'boyfriend' but it's probably just because he wanted to leave jay alone with his crush, his way of teasing but also being a good friend.

"your name is jay, right?"

He knows his name.

"ye-yeah" oh no, that's unfortunate "it's nice to meet you, jay"

"ha yeah, me too..."

He's so embarrassed and anxious, he couldn't look into his eyes, nor talking a little more "sorry" he's apologizing because he's still holding on jay, after what could've possibly happen, and when his hands left his waist, jay felt empty, or just a little sad, maybe he wished more from him, or are these false expectations, it's not like the feelings were the same, he doesn't even know him personally anyways.

"It's fine"

"wanna walk up to the dorm with me? after I grab my book"

"why not"

He didn't think, he just thought it was a great idea, everything related to heeseung seems great to him so it's not a surprise.

after entering the door, jay found out he was paired with someone by the name of jake, but heeseung texted him to say he had no roommate. before they parted ways, heeseung asked for jay's phone number so that's the main reason why they can text each other. honestly, deep inside him, jay couldn't stop himself from fanboying, he's too excited from the fact he finally has heeseung's phone number.

Just when he expected a call from this one, he accepted a random call, but it's just his friend sunghoon, he was annoyed.

"hey playboy, guess who's my roommate" he said, and he even tried a strange accent to fit in another type of mood, but instead jay felt like crying.

"who is it"

"my boyfriend"

"Sunghoon, he's not your boyfriend"

Sunghoon flipped him off through the video call, he's angry at him, not really but he hates it when jay is right or when he's being so strict and moody "yes he is"

"ask him right now, he'll tell you"

"are you challenging me?"

"um not necessarily-" behind the camera, sunghoon was running through the dorm given to him, he almost tripped but then he stopped in front of the boy, his name is riki apparently, and he's Japanese.

"you're my boyfriend right?" he asked, we can't see riki but it's obvious he's taken aback, in total shock, he only wanted some water, but he's being disturbed "uh, I don't know?" he arched an eyebrow while trying to get away, but sunghoon held onto his arm.

poor boy, he's clearly stressed out.

"do you like me? because I like you"

"okay enough, I've found my answer" first thing, he's truly annoyed by what he's hearing and seeing, and secondly, heeseung keeps texting him, he even asked him if they could call, so he hanged up on the video call he was on, besides sunghoon keeps asking strange questions to riki, and again he's chasing him in their dorm, in the end he hugged the boy tightly, he said he fell in love with him at first sight.

yet he couldn't believe him.

"why are you like this"

"like what? I can't be cuddly with my boyfriend?..."

"but I never said yes! No that's worse, you never asked" he could hardly move, but he had the strength to turn around a little, they're facing each other in the empty bathtub "look, I don't mind getting to know you, but we're not boyfriends"

"oh..."
