Mingi walked across the campus in the direction of the building where Yeosang had class. As he walked, he had to shake his head with a grin. Wooyoung was crazy. On the other hand, unlike Mingi, he was brave and dared to try things out.

Mingi sighed and opened the door of the building. He walked to the last room, lost in thought, and realized late that there was no one anywhere to be seen. Was everyone gone already? He was about to open the door to the room when his phone rang and he flinched terribly. He held his chest in shock and pulled his phone out of his pocket.

"Hey Yeosang I was just about to..." Yeosang interrupted Mingi. His voice sounded strange. "Mingi, you have to help me," his voice rang out. "Sure, what's going on?" Mingi asked, looking around the half-dark hallway. "Someone locked me in the storage room." Mingi immediately started walking and while Yeosang described the way, his steps became faster and faster until he turned the corner and spotted a familiar face.

He lowered his phone and watched him from a distance, then he understood what was happening. His eyes narrowed and he continued walking. "How come you're here?" he asked with a provocative undertone. The person addressed turned in Mingi's direction and Mingi realized that he was right and that none other than Yunho was standing in front of him.

Yunho looked a little surprised to see Mingi. "Oh, I'm uhm waiting for uhm someone here," he stuttered. Mingi had to smile slightly and crossed his arms. "Oh yeah, aren't you here to lock up a certain person?" Mingi knew that it had been Yunho and that this had all been Hongjoong's doing.
Yunho shook his head hesitantly and tried to push past Mingi, but Mingi shoved himself in his way.

"Was that Hongjoong's idea?" Yunho looked at him. He looked perplexed and puzzled. Mingi rolled his eyes. "It's enough that you're making my life hell, why do you have to mess up my friends' lives too? What does Yeosang have to do with all this?" When Mingi didn't get an answer, he nudged Yunho lightly, causing the older one to stumble backwards a little.

"Hongjoong wants to annoy you, that's all," Yunho finally said. "But this is going too far. What if Yeosang hadn't reached me, what if he'd stayed in there until tomorrow?" Mingi didn't even notice that his voice was getting louder. "Chill. I would have let him out eventually."

Without thinking, Mingi took a step forward and grabbed Yunho by the collar. "It's not funny. You can tell Hongjoong to leave my friends alone or I'll report it to the principal." While they maintained an intense eye contact, Mingi recognized a small smirk on Yunho's lips and it only made him angrier. "Maybe it's just a joke to you, but I've really had enough," Mingi said.

He could tell from the look on Yunho's face that the older one wasn't even taking him seriously. But he's really had enough. Since he had come here a few weeks ago, there had been something different every day that made his daily life more difficult and he didn't understand why Hongjoong and Yunho couldn't just leave him alone.

Mingi let go of Yunho. "Give me the keys," Mingi demanded and Yunho reluctantly pulled them out. Annoyed, Mingi grabbed them and walked past Yunho to the storage room. He unlocked the door and Yeosang immediately came towards him. There was panic in his eyes. Mingi didn't wait long and pulled him into his arms. "I'm here," he whispered.

"I'll have a cappuccino and a brownie," Wooyoung said with a smile and his mysterious crush nodded. Wooyoung took a deep breath and sorted out the words he wanted to say. When the stranger came back and placed his order in front of Wooyoung, Wooyoung gathered the last of his courage and began to speak with a pounding heart.

"Do you work here often? I noticed you the other day as well," he said. The stranger looked at him a little confused at first, but then he smiled and Wooyoung could have screamed at the sight of his dimples.
