Mingi got off his motorcycle and pulled out the keys. Then he took off his helmet and tousled his light gray hair in the sun.

Just as he was straightening his leather jacket and heading towards the university building, a person crossed his path. Unsure, Mingi stopped and looked sceptically ahead to where someone with chocolate-brown hair was standing.

Yunho smiled at him and Mingi made sure several times that he was really looking at him and that there wasn't someone behind him. Then he walked on. "What do you want?" Mingi asked with a slightly annoyed undertone. If Yunho was there, Hongjoong was probably not far away either. Mingi looked around but there was no one to be seen.

Then he looked back at Yunho, who was now holding something out to him. Mingi's eyes wandered to Yunho's hand. He clutched a dark blue can. Mingi looked up again. "How do you know I like this?" he asked, pointing at the drink. It was his favorite soft drink from the vending machine next to the cafeteria.

Yunho shrugged his shoulders slightly. Mingi's eyes narrowed. "Did you put anything in it? Or did you shake it?" Mingi trusted him to do anything. Yunho continued to hold the can out to him. "I really didn't do anything. You can drink it."

Mingi was still skeptical, but with a glance at his watch, he didn't have time to think about it anymore. He grabbed the can and walked past Yunho to the entrance. As he hurried to his next class, he couldn't think about anything but Yunho and why he was suddenly being nice to him.

It was noon. Yeosang walked across the path in the small park in front of the university, lost in thought as usual. His hands were buried deep in his pockets and instead of a plain shirt, he was wearing a large hoodie today. He felt the need to hide somewhere all day and not talk to anyone.

The silence was interrupted by a bright voice. "Hey," someone called out and an arm went around Yeosang. He looked to the side and caught sight of Wooyoung's face. To Yeosang's surprise, however, there wasn't a playful smile on Wooyoung's lips like there usually was. He looked dazed.

"What happened?" Yeosang was the first to ask and they stopped. Wooyoung looked down at his feet, then back up and snorted in frustration. "You remember San?" Yeosang didn't have to think twice since Wooyoung talked about him every day. "I think I put too much pressure on him and he doesn't take me seriously."

Yeosang raised an eyebrow, daring Wooyoung to explain more with his expression. "I wanted to get to know him, whether as a friend or more I didn't care at first, but I think he was just annoyed the whole time and he thinks I have nothing better to do than play games." Although Wooyoung's voice was as firm as ever, Yeosang could hear how upset he was.

Slowly, he placed a hand on Wooyoung's back. "Don't give up, maybe he just hasn't realized how serious you are." Wooyoung shook his head slightly. "I think he really doesn't want to get to know anyone, I just leave him alone. Maybe he doesn't like guys at all." Yeosang was about to object when they were interrupted by someone.

"Hey guys!" someone shouted and Mingi could be seen from afar. Wooyoung turned to Yeosang. "Please don't say anything to Mingi. I don't want him to have any more reason to make fun of my crushes." Yeosang nodded hesitantly.

Mingi appeared in front of them.
"What kind of faces are you making?" he asked skeptically since both of them probably looked devastated.

"And what happened to you? Why are you beaming like that?" Wooyoung asked instead, crossing his arms. Mingi shrugged his shoulders with a smile. Yeosang looked between the two of them. Now that they were both here, it was the perfect opportunity to talk to them. "Guys, I have to tell you something," Yeosang said rather quietly, but Mingi and Wooyoung immediately gave him their full attention.
