Han Jisung is hopelessly in love with Lee Minho, the boy in his potion class. With no hope of approaching him in any sorts, his best Friend Lee Felix jokes about smothering the boy a love potion.
Clue: Jisung didn't pick up on the joke and took it...

Jisung stared onwards dreamily.
He was currently sitting in his potions class, staring at the back of a certain someone's head. More precisely, Lee Minho.
"For god's sake, Jisung. You're acting like a virgin teenage girl with her first crush. Your literally eighteen. Just go talk to him and give him your number."
"It's not that easy!" Jisung whined, causing a few other students to slightly glare at the boy but went back to work soon enough. Not that Jisung cared enough about their opinions though.
"You're a pretty guy, Jisung. Of course it's not exactly 'easy' but it's worth a shot right?" Felix tried his best to encourage the older.
"What if I get rejected?" Jisung pouted slightly, looking at a verge-of-smashing-Jisung's-head- through the wall Felix.
"Seriously? God just shove a love potion or something down his throat why don't you." Felix rolled his eyes.
"Felix you're a genius! Love potion, that's it!"
"No Sung I was joking-"
"That's a great idea! There's ones that last about a week or months or years!" Jisung looked like he was about to go insane. Understanding of course though, I mean who wouldn't go crazy for a man like Lee Minho?
"Jisung you can't legally purchase ones that last over a week you know." Felix couldn't even try to convince Jisung otherwise, the latter had their eyes set on one thing only.
"Where can I get one? Ooh Eunwoo might have some-" Jisung had practically turned into a whirlwind in seconds. Surely that's deserving of a place in the record books.
"Jisung! Slow down and more importantly, calm down. Your not giving him a love potion-"
"Love potions? Why do you need love potions?" Both Jisung and Felix looked to the left of themselves to see a confused boy with fox-like features, his eyebrow raised in suspicion.
"Uhm.. because my friend here is hopelessly in love with someone he's never talked to and is too pussy to actually talk to them." Felix would never usually put his best friend like that but the boy was getting on his nerves a little.
"Really? Well I actually do know someone in this class who can get you exactly what you want." The fox boy's lips turned into a smug smile as he leaned back into his chair, seemingly pleased with himself.
"Who!?" Jisung exclaimed, a little too loudly. Earning glares from people around him but yet the old, crippled teacher didn't seem to notice at all. The poor man was most probably deaf in both ears.
"Kim Seungmin." The boy pointed at another boy, lower down in the auditorium styled classrooms. The boy had features like a puppy and was currently paying close attention to the things being graved into the whiteboard.
"Does he charge money or something for them?" Jisung inquired.
"No. He doesn't like to offer them about but I'm his friend so I can easily get you one. Meet me after class with him." Jisung nodded as the boy turned his attention back to whatever he was doing before.
"Wait! What's your name?"
"Jeongin." Jeongin replied calmly, before Jisung was soon back to staring at a certain someone.
"I don't think it's a good idea, Jisung." Felix whispered out of earshot of prying ears and eyes.
"I think it's a great idea."
"Of course you do. Shouldn't someone love you if they love you? Isn't it kinda inhumane?" His eyes formed into a slightly worried look.
"It's only for a week. Not that bad right?" Jisung himself deep down, questioned it but nonetheless wanted to go through with it. It was his crush after all.
"Hmm." Felix replied with an unsure hum, returning back to his notebook, jotting all sorts of random things down.

The last half hour of potion class dragged by everyone so slowly. Like that one person in the hallways that walks incredibly slow but you can't overtake them.
Jisung had stolen glances at this Kim Seungmin guy, never hearing of him before. From what Jisung gathered theory wise and witness wise, Kim Seungmin was a smart boy that kept himself to himself and had a way with potions.
Jisung felt as if he was to doze off when the ear piercing bell sounded, signalling the end of class and the academic day. The latter jumped from his seat and immediately found himself at Jeongin's side who was leading him towards Seungmin.
Felix lagged behind, preferring to observe than take part in the act about to ensue. He watched as Jisung was quickly acquainted with the puppy looking boy as they headed outside and onto the fresh field that sat, laid out at the back of the campus.
The four boys plopped softly onto the green, dry grass.
"So you want a love potion?" Seungmin looked at the excited boy, analysing every inch of emotion he held within and outside his body.
"Yep! One that only lasts a week. I'm not trying to have the Potion Police on my ass." Seungmin chuckled at this and leaned backwards, using his elbows for support..
"What's in it for me if I give you this potion?"
"What would you want?" It was now Jisung's turn to raise his brow as the first questioner pondered.
"Hmm. How about... Ah I've got it! Set me up with Hwang Hyunjin."
"Hwang Hyunjin? Seriously. That's impossible."
"Uhm no it's not?" Seungmin scoffed.
"How exactly do I do that?"
"I actually know Hyunjin. I guess you could say we're acquainted. I'll do it for him. Just give him the potion. " Felix spoke up and his tone shifted. Jisung immediately noticed but now was not the time to question his friend.
"Alright then. You've got yourself a deal. I have some made so come to my dorm at midnight, Han."
"Alright. I'll be there." Jeongin and Seungmin got up and walked away, deep in new conversation. Felix and I sat in silence for a minute, both staring at the grass beneath us.
"Are you sure about this, Jisung?"
"Not completely but it's worth a shot right? It's only a subtle one. Apparently."
"That's great and all but how are you going to actually give it to him?"
"I didn't really think about that."
"For someone topping quite a few classes, you sure are a bit dumb."
"It's being around you. You radiate dumb energy. It's infecting me." This comment earned Jisung a slap on the arm from Felix who got up.
"Come one you little shit. Let's get going and back to the dorm."
"Alright. Also you need to tell me your plan about setting Seungmin up with Hyunjin."
"Of course. How could my dumb self leave you out of that?"
The two boys laughed, knowing little of the ears that had listened to their conversations. Even the one with Jeongin and Seungmin. Felix glanced behind him, sensing someone.
"Felix? You alright?"
"Yeah. I think it was an animal or something." Jisung just nodded, not thinking much of it all.
