Jongho's gaze slid over the Polaroid picture, which depicted a young man with blond hair and freckles. His smile was not only infectious, it shone brighter than the sun.

Jongho looked up at his best friend, who was sitting on his desk chair and scribbling something on his notepad. "Don't you think you should finally take that picture of Felix down?" Jongho asked, pointing back to the wall he was standing in front of.

Wooyoung looked up and glared at him. "Don't you think you should finally find something of your own instead of living with me in my far too small room?" Jongho had to laugh. He loved Wooyoung's sarcastic nature.

He moved away from the wall where Wooyoung's ex was still hanging after months and walked over to him. Without hesitation, he pushed Wooyoung's notepad away and dropped onto his lap. "Am I annoying you?" he asked, pouting.

"Oh, nonsense," Wooyoung mumbled and rolled his eyes. Then he wrapped his arms around Jongho and leaned forward. When Jongho realized that Wooyoung wanted to kiss him, he grimaced in disgust and pulled away from his embrace. He stood up and flopped down on Wooyoung's bed instead.

"Don't worry about it. As soon as I've saved up enough money, I'll look for an apartment." Wooyoung's playful look disappeared and he became more serious. "Don't you want to talk to Vernon?" Jongho sighed loudly but seeing the concern in Wooyoung's eyes, he nodded slightly. Silence pervaded the room and Wooyoung rolled his pen across the smooth surface of his desk.

Jongho tilted his head. "Are you okay?" he asked, as Wooyoung often had that look on his face recently. A look on his face that screamed for help. Normally, he was always in a good mood and didn't let on, but since Jongho was with him so often in his room, Wooyoung couldn't hide his feelings from him anymore.

Wooyoung shrugged his shoulders and the pen fell to the wooden floor. "Is it still because of him?" Jongho's finger pointed back to the Polaroid picture. Wooyoung shrugged again and Jongho knew he was right. But he didn't know what to say. He never knew that when it came to Felix.

"Have you heard from Mingi?" Jongho quickly changed the subject and hoped that Wooyoung's mood would improve again. "He texted me the other day that he and Yunho are hiding now but they are really happy." Jongho nodded with a smile. "Those lovebirds." Jongho remarked, trying to sound teased, but it didn't quite work, because if he was honest, he had to admit that he was jealous of what Yunho and Mingi had with each other.

"What's wrong with you?" Wooyoung suddenly interjected and turned to Jongho with a scrutinizing look. "Huh?" he asked. "Don't think I missed the fact that you were out all night Saturday?" Heat shot into Jongho's cheeks and he averted his eyes. Less than two seconds later, Wooyoung landed in bed next to him. "So who were you with huh?" Jongho couldn't stifle a grin and turned to the wall. A pillow landed on him. "Tell me," Wooyoung urged him.

"You don't know him," Jongho said without thinking. "HIM?" Wooyoung screamed so loudly that Jongho covered his ears and grimaced painfully. "YOU DID IT WITH A MAN?" Wooyoung continued to shout. Jongho's hand landed roughly on his mouth. "Pssss. You have neighbors."

Wooyoung grabbed his hand to push it away from his mouth. Jongho could see that he was shocked. He couldn't blame him. "Since when..." Wooyoung couldn't finish his sentence. "I don't know, it just happened." Wooyoung's eyes light up. "Omg who was it? Is that why you were in such a good mood yesterday? Omg do you have a crush on him? Who was Bottom?"

Wooyoung couldn't be stopped and jumped around on his bed excitedly. Jongho tried to calm him down, but it barely worked. "What's his name? What does he look like? Is he older or younger?" "It's Yeosang."
