Pen pals l SeongSang

Chapter

It had been a week since Yeosang had asked his friends to get information on Seonghwa as well as a week since he had sent his letter to Mars. Two days later he had received another letter from the boy but he had refused to read it. Keeping it safe in a drawer at his desk, he hadn't had the heart to throw it away.

On his own, Yeosang had reached the conclusion that Seonghwa did like him back. He suspected it because the elder was always looking after him and had gotten more touchy with each passing day. But it was yesterday when Seonghwa had insisted on sitting next to him during movie night, spending the entire night rubbing shoulders and teasing him that he had been sure the boy liked him back. So today he was waiting for Hongjoong to arrive with more information before making the final decision of confessing later today.

"Hello, children"

Yeosang's head whipped to the side when he heard Hongjoong's high pitched voice. The three forest engineer students appeared before them, San immediately sitting down and rubbing his legs.

"Are you tired just from walking all the way from your faculty?" Jongho teased.

"Forest engineer is far away" Wooyoung barked, defending his friend.

"It's also because I go to the gym five days a week, you moron" San turned to look at Wooyoung. "Thank you, anyway" He said and ruffled the other's hair.

Through all this drama, Yeosang had his eyes glued to Hongjoong who had already scanned him twice, wondering why he had been staring but the ravenette hadn't muttered a word since he had gotten here. Was Yeosang dying to get his hands on the elder, yes? Could he do it right now, without arising suspicions, no.

So for the next fifteen minutes Yeosang tried to get along with the jokes but his mind couldn't focus on anything that wasn't the pretty gray haired boy in front of him. He would look at Seonghwa as often as he could, frequently crossing eyes with the other.

After small talking about their respective classes, the boy eventually left the college grounds to go eat at the nearby McDonald's and by the time their order came through Yeosang had forgotten all about Hongjoong and was busy stealing fries from Yunho.

Just as he was about to grab another one, a hand smacked his away.

"The fu-"

"Stop stealing his fries, I think you ate more than half already" Seonghwa scolded the other.

"But they're so good, they're super salty" Yeosang tried his best to make puppy eyes but it didn't take the older more than a second to break character and offer him his signature smile.

"Just eat these then" Taking out a fry from his own stack, he fed it to Yeosang who happily munched on the salty potato.

It was details like this that made him believe the other liked him back and encouraged him to tell him what had been on his heart for the past week. But not now, not here. There was a time and place to do this and it wasn't squeezed between six other boys in a crowded McDonald's filled with students and screaming toddlers. Which clearly wasn't the case for two of their friends.

"What did I just see?"

The others looked at Yeosang with a puzzled face whereas the two culprits looked down.

"What, what happened?" Yunho ate the fry he was about to feed Jongho which made him smack his friend on the arm.

"Wooyoung just gave San a kiss after dipping his fry in his sauce!"

"Is that a sexual euphemism?"

"Mingi, I swear if you don't shut up" Wooyoung seemed to have recovered from being outed quickly as he shot his friend a death glare.
