3rd person POV (Jongho):

After Jongho and Yeosang broke apart to catch their breath, a wave of embarrassment washed over them. As soon as Jongho suggested going home, Yeosang hopped into the car. Once they reached the dorm, they retreated to their respective rooms. Jongho couldn't help but ponder over every possible mistake he might have made, so he decided to text the group chat consisting of him, Hongjoong, Mingi, and San. Naturally, all three of them went into a frenzy upon learning that Jongho had just experienced his first kiss. They were definitely freaking out!

Jongho received a call from the group, bombarded with a thousand questions, but only one lingered in his thoughts, 'Did it feel right?' He couldn't tell if it was because it actually felt right or because Hongjoong had asked him that. 'It felt...perfect,' Jongho managed to say about the kiss. 'God, he probably hates me now,' Jongho whined, as the other three on the call tried to reassure him.

Hongjoong suddenly turned to the group and asked, "Hey guys, can I talk to you about something?" Jongho quickly replied, "Of course, go ahead." "I just can't shake this feeling, why is it so hard for me to accept that I have feelings for Seonghwa? No, it's more than that, I love him," Hongjoong confessed, his voice wavering. "Hyung, you were conditioned to believe it was wrong, you were put through so much, but have you talked to Seonghwa about how you feel?" San inquired. "No, I was too scared and I messed up big time," Hongjoong admitted. "You need to talk to him, he cares about you and he's at the dorm right now, he's been gone for a while," Jongho said while thinking about when Seonghwa left their dorm. "Hongjoong, you need to go back to the dorm right away," he added firmly. Hongjoong understood the urgency and ended the call. "Do you think he's okay?" Mingi asked nervously, breaking the silence. San and Jongho reassured him that Seonghwa would be fine.

After receiving a text from Hongjoong assuring them that he's okay, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief and ended the phone call. Jongho, feeling a bit peckish, decided to step out for a snack. As he opened the door, he was surprised to see Yeosang standing there, about to slip something under his door. "Oh, here," Yeosang quickly said before darting back into his room and locking the door. Jongho didn't pay much attention to it, knowing he could read the letter later. He grabbed his snack and made his way back to his room, placing the letter on his desk. However, as he sat on his bed, munching on his snack, he completely forgot about the letter and soon dozed off.

That night he dreamed about Yeosang, his eyes his features and his smile.

3rd person POV (Yeosang):

Yeosang hurried back to his room, quickly locking the door behind him. He plopped down on his bed and let out a scream like a high schooler. "Oh my gosh, I just kissed my roommate, oh no," Yeosang muttered, trying to process what had just happened. "I think I might actually like my roommate," he realized, coming to three important conclusions all at once. First, he's a merman and can't date a wizard. Second, he's not sure if his mom is on his side. And third, how on earth is he going to break the news to Wooyoung without causing a scene?

Yeosang made up his mind to write a letter, and as he penned it down, tears welled up in his eyes. Yeosang isn't one to show his emotions often and prefers to keep things to himself. After completing the letter, he gently kissed it and made his way to Jongho's room. Just as he was about to slip it under the door, it swung open, catching Yeosang off guard. In a panic, he quickly handed Jongho the letter, saying, "Oh, here," before rushing back to his own room and locking the door behind him.

Yeosang embraced Angel tightly, wondering to himself, 'Is this what love feels like?' His phone suddenly rang, interrupting his thoughts. Without checking the caller ID, Yeosang answered, "Speaking with Kang Yeosang, how can I help you?" It was Seonghwa on the other end, informing Yeosang that he wouldn't be staying over. Yeosang, though he cared for Seonghwa, couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. "No problem, hyung," Yeosang replied. "Oh, and congratulations on your first kiss," Seonghwa added before hanging up, leaving Yeosang in disbelief.

And then came the flood of Wooyoung messages, if Seonghwa knew, Yunho knew, and if Yunho knew, Wooyoung definitely knew. Yeosang silenced his phone and gazed up at the ceiling, thinking, "It's time for a change, don't you think?" He spoke to Angel, picking up some hair dye and heading towards the bathroom. He was tired of his brown hair and wanted something more exciting. Yeosang grabbed the bleach and bleached his hair, aiming for a blonde look. "This is much better," he exclaimed, admiring himself in the mirror with a sense of satisfaction.

Yeosang wiped off his makeup, revealing his birthmark. He despised it and wished it would disappear, but unfortunately, that wasn't possible. His mother always insisted that it was beautiful, but he couldn't see it that way. Jongho barged into the bathroom without even knocking, his eyes fixed on Yeosang's newly blonde hair. "Looks good," Jongho commented, pointing at Yeosang's birthmark. Yeosang quickly tried to hide it, but Jongho gently pulled his hand away. "Don't hide it, it's beautiful," Jongho said before casually walking out, leaving Yeosang feeling a bit of a mess.

Yeosang couldn't believe it when he heard the words, "You're beautiful." He was so overwhelmed that he sank down to the floor. "Wow, I have to tell my mom about this," he exclaimed, getting up and quickly tidying up the bleach and toner before returning to his room.

'Mom.' Yeosang started but got cut of by his mother 'You're gay i know what else?' Yeosang was shocked but he didn't care for a second and said:

'I think i love him.'
