"Finally! Finals are over!" Nicholas cheered as the six of them exited their lecture hall, walking towards the exit to meet up with the rest.
"Yeah! Oh, by the way, are any of you going to the Gbogh Fest?" Heeseung asked, and Jungwon's inhaled a breath sharply. He glanced over at Jake and Sunoo who were shaking their head slowly, not making it obvious.
"Uh..yeah! Yeah, we are," Jake told Heeseung, scratching the back of his neck. Heeseung raised an eyebrow and headed over to where he was. He began to whisper something into Jake's ear and Jake just rolled his eyes, pushing Heeseung away from him.
"Yeah, right Lee," he joked and Heeseung made an offended face. Jungwon shook his head. Just then, they found the others standing at the entrance. Geonu, Daniel and Taki were standing beside each other, crowding around Daniel's phone. Niki stood beside them and peeked over while Sunghoon was scrolling through his own phone.
"Huh," Sunoo announced, "Niki's taller than Sunghoon hyung."
Jake spat out a laugh and Jungwon felt like smacking his hyung's mind. "No shit, shernoo," Jungwon sarcastically joked and Jake just continued laughing. He and Jungwon were both thinking the same thing: how blind could this guy actually be?
"Niki is damn tall though," Nicholas added, "whatcha all give him? Growing serum?"
"He probably just devoured all the TenTen we were suppose to share when Jungwon got it. And maybe puberty just decided to bless him," Jake scoffed, scrunching his nose up at the younger.
Niki caught this and raised an eyebrow. "What, are you talking to them about, my height?" he predicted, and Jake frowned at him in disbelief.
"How'd you know?"
Niki laughed. "You always make the weirdest faces hyung, it's not that hard."
The two of them began bickering all over again and Jungwon and Sunoo just sighed at them. Sunoo then made eye contact with Sunghoon, and bounced over to where he was standing.
"He is and still is blind," Jungwon muttered, trying to his best not to sigh loudly when he caught Niki look over, his eyes trailing Sunoo sadly.
Poor kid."Hey, do you uh...wanna hang out after this?" a voice from behind him asked. Jungwon turned around and met eyes with a shy looking Jay, a side of which Jungwon never saw before.
"Now? What would you want to do?"
"Just talk. I never have the time to chat with you these days cause of finals," Jay complained and Jungwon swore he saw little pout forming on the older's lips. He bit back a smile.
"I'll think about it. But probably not now since I have something to do....how about tomorrow?" Jungwon suggested. Jay's eyes lit up at that and nodded. Jungwon grinned slightly at Jay's cuteness.
Cuteness? Oh mah god you've gone crazy.
But Jungwon didn't care. He didn't know why he didn't. Maybe it was because Jay actually did to something to him. Something he couldn't put his finger on. Which was frustrating and....kinda nice at the same time. Jungwon loved the feeling, it gave him a sense of suspense.
"So, tomorrow afternoon? 12pm? We could go for lunch,"Jay suggested and Jungwon agreed. Before they could go their separate ways from the Uni, Jay leaned down to Jungwon's ear level, and whispered,
"It's a date, Yang."

It was 11.30 am the next day, and Jungwon was extremely-he didn't know why-nervous. Like for the first time, meeting someone he knew was like meeting a stranger.
