(A/N - Is there any Alpha fans? Anyways I kinda made Joong a fan of them bc why not lol. Enjoy.)

Damn... was what Seonghwa thought as he sat on the city bus with his music softly playing in his earbuds blocking out the noises from around him. A week has passed since he began going to his classes, it's also been a week since Hongjoong has last talked with him and it didn't feel good nor bad it just made Seonghwa wonder what happened for him to stop talking with him. Shaking the thought out his head he rung the bell standing up as the bus pulled up to his stop with San and Mingi following closely behind. The three got off the bus making their way to the building seeing other students walk in and out depending if they had morning or afternoon classes.

"See you later." Mingi waved as he walked up the stairs as San and Seonghwa walked down them heading to class. Once in Seonghwa was face to face with Hongjoong who stepped aside and walked out the class. Weird? Walking in Seonghwa took his seat beside Hongjoong's pulling out his notebook and pencil.

"Hey? What happened with you and shorty? I thought he had a thing for you?" San leaned in as he whispered in his ear, to others it may look as if San was kissing his cheek but from the side other students were sitting they knew San was just whispering in his ear. With a shrug Seonghwa pushed San away, with one movement he could see Hongjoong walk over to his seat slowly as if he had just walked in on something leaving Seonghwa confused.

"You good shorty?" San questioned once he saw Hongjoong looking a bit down before taking his seat. Shaking his head with a smile San nodded as he too pulled out his notebook and like clock work the teacher came walking in starting his class like usual.

After the afternoon session was finished Seonghwa walked out of class with San up ahead as he had plans with Mingi that evening meaning he had time for himself after declining the offer of hanging out with them. As Seonghwa was lost in his own thoughts he hasn't realized that Hongjoong stood beside him as he walked up the stairs that until he felt a tap on his shoulder pulling him out.

"Do you wanna tag along with me to work?" Hongjoong asked with a smile displayed on his facing bringing a warm feeling to his chest as he nodded. With a soft come on then, Seonghwa followed Hongjoong to the bus stop as they waited for the bus. It didn't take long as usual and soon enough the two were on the bus.

"Wanna listen?" Hongjoong said as he held out his wired earbud to Seonghwa who put his in his case soon taking Hongjoong's placing it into his ear and with a second a song started playing. Seonghwa wasn't familiar with who it was so he looked at Hongjoong who chuckled before showing the taller who it was.

"It's Alpha's ostin ba? It's a boy band." Hongjoong chuckled as he hummed along with the band who sang, Seonghwa wasn't going to lie, he liked how fresh the music was from this band finding himself humming along with them not knowing the next melody. It took both males to finally make it to the coffee shop which cut the two's music listening sessions short.

"So~ what do you think? Good right?" Hongjoong asked as he waited patiently for Seonghwa's opinion knowing that the band wasn't known much and was also a q-pop band he found two years an a half back.

"Not bad actually, I liked how they have their own way of singing and rapping. I liked the one who says... wait." Seonghwa said as he tried to remember who the person was whose name was said or said by the following singer, it was in a few of their songs. Looking at the shorter Seonghwa could see his face lit up almost instantly as he jumped, walking alongside Seonghwa, he must know who I'm talking about.

"You mean Qozzy?" Hongjoong smiled as he held onto Seonghwa's arms as he excitedly waited for Seonghwa's reply.

"Yeah that one." Seonghwa chuckled as he watched Hongjoong fanboy over this. He's cute like this. As the two walked into the coffee shop Seonghwa chatted with Yeosang who took his order quickly before handing him his book he felt the day before. Leaving to his usual table Seonghwa read as he waited for Yeosang to come up and chat with him knowing that he would as it was his thing when it was shift change and sure enough Yeosang came up to him chatting.

"Anyways I'll text you later. Jongho must be waiting for me." Yeosang chuckled as he waved at Seonghwa who waved back but before he could leave Seonghwa stopped him.

"Are you and Jongho?" Seeing how red Yeosang had gotten he had figured it out as Yeosang just nodded before finally leaving. It was just him and Hongjoong in the coffee shop which was fine as he felt comfortable enough with the shorter.

"I have a question." Seonghwa heard as he looked up from his book placing it down as he took a sip from his tea he had in his hand before nodding at Hongjoong to continue.

"Are you and San a thing? Like are you guys dating?" Hongjoong whispered the last parting knowing for a damn fact that Seonghwa had heard but just let it be. Seonghwa was shocked but shook his head repeatedly as he let out a shocked no.

"Never, he isn't my type though he is a wonderful friend to have just not someone I would date you know?" Seonghwa sighed as he could see how Hongjoong smiled at the taller before nodding.

"I just kinda thought that you lied to me when I asked for your number you know?"

"Wait, is that why you haven't spoken to me? You thought that me and San? The Choi San were dating?" Seonghwa said once he put two and two together as it all made sense now why Hongjoong has ignored him the past week.

"I know it's stupid... sorry." Hongjoong said but Seonghwa shook his head disagreeing with the shorter.

"It's ok, I know for a fact I would feel the same as you do." Smiling at Hongjoong Seonghwa took another sip of his tea as it became quiet between them again before Hongjoong jumped up from his chair he was sitting on.

"Do you wanna listen to music? I can play it throughout the shop." Hongjoong said as he walked closer to the cashier desk ready to turn on the music if Seonghwa agreed and once he did he ran behind the desk and into the staff room. It took a minute or two for music to play and once it did music started playing, it was the same band Hongjoong had introduced to him on the bus. If he keeps playing them I'll become a fan soon. Seonghwa chuckled. Maybe that isn't a bad idea?
