The week only continued. The first week always felt like the longest. Mainly because there wasn't much homework and teachers spoke for 50 minutes about class schedules.

To Jongho, and many other freshmen this just meant more free time. Jongho sat in his room playing on his computer. He would normally do that when he was at home. He played lots of different games. Literally anything he could get good at.

This game in particular Jongho couldn't get the hang of. He cursed at the game while his friends laughed at him from the other side of the screen.

"Ugh fuck you guys. I'm done. This game is shit anyways." He pouted and crossed his arms.

Wooseok was also in the room. He was watching a show on his laptop. It was a little hard not to be distracted by Jongho's rage quitting. Wooseok paused his show and tapped Jongho's shoulder.

"What?" Jongho asked still upset at the game.

"Sorry. What are you playing?"

"It's okay.. It doesn't matter I'm over it." Jongho said quitting the game and taking off his headset.

"Oh." Wooseok only said and nodded.

Jongho smiled a bit, "what are you watching?" He asked looking at wooseoks laptop.

"Just a drama."

"Ooo which one? I like dramas." Jongho asked.

Wooseok explained the drama and eventually Jongho was glued to the screen as well.

Eventually Jongho's phone began to vibrate. Jongho looked at it. It was Yunho. "Oh.. it's my friend." Jongho told wooseok.

He opened his phone seeing a text that read: 'Hey me, San, seonghwa, and wooyoung are going to the mall. wanna come?'

Jongho read the message then sighed. He would normally say yes but this time he had to think about it. He hadn't really seen Yunho all week and it was Saturday. Jongho felt somewhat lonely when he was around Yunho and seonghwa. Maybe it's because he missed how close they were.

"Are you leaving?" Wooseok asked. Normally when Jongho gets a call or text it means he is gonna hang out with friends.

"Uhh maybe. My friends are going to the mall." Jongho mumbled as he thought of how to answer.

"Oh fun."

"Sorta.." Jongho shrugged.

"What's wrong?" Wooseok asked wondering why Jongho was upset.

"Well it's not that something is wrong.. it's just I don't know. Lately I have been feeling awkward around them." Jongho explained.

"Oh I see. Why's that?" Wooseok continued the conversation since Jongho was opening up.

"They seem to be busy with each other and their other friends. I think since they are all upperclassmen. They just don't hang out with me much." Jongho said.

"Oh I'm sorry. Are all your friends upperclassmen?"

"Well all except wooyoung. But his boyfriend is in the friend group so." Jongho replied.
