"Are you fucking kidding me?" Jeongin cusses under his breath as notices the familiar face in the hallway. He quickly gets behind the wall.

You would almost thing he was wearing the same suit from the other day, but this time, fabric was different texture. Or at least, it's how Jeongin saw in the little time of his eyes falling on Seungmin.

Why was that guy here? Didn't Hyunjin say he works with him now? Why was he in Jeongin's university.

"Hey, Jeongin?!" Minho calls him, and he quickly turns around towards the professor.

"Yes?" He quietly asks.

"I asked if you already went over the papers I sent you?" Minho asks hesitantly, probably not because he's asking about the favor he asked of his ex, but because Minho isn't sure Jeongin is listening.

"I did, " Jeongin sighs, "I will have them sent back, just not right now."

This wasn't a big deal. Long ago Jeongin has asked Minho to let him help with grading the papers, not because he was worried Minho was overworking himself or anything of that kind. It was just great practice, plus Jeongin could write this in CV as experience. Luckily, both of them were too professional about their careers to care of personal life and its complications.

"Who are you stalking?" Minho grins, leaning over the wall to get the better view of the hallway. "Oh, is that Seungmin?"

"Yeah, what is he doing here?"

"How do you even know him?" Minho asks bit skeptically, "ah, right. You were there before I arrived the other day."

"Hm, they cared enough to tell you I was there?!" Jeongin chuckles.

"Don't be like that, " Minho rolls his eyes, "everyone cared about you before you pushed them all away. Me, Annie, Even Felix knew you from university."

"It's hard to stay at that table, when your ex is about to arrive with his new perfect boyfriend."

"Jisung isn't my boyfriend," Minho starts, takes a deep breath and adds with a smirk, "yet."

Jeongin visibly cringes, "ew, can't believe you're trying to get ex of the girl your ex cheated on you with."

Minho laughs wholeheartedly, "it's funny, isn't it?!"

"Not at all."

"Oh, come on. It's not like you still have feelings for me."

"Not at all. But I still think it's weird to keep you around as a friend."

"Jeongin, you don't have any other friend." Minho starts to walk away, "it's too late for you now. You're graduating, you don't have enough time to make any close friend in university. You still only know me here, just like you only knew me when we dated, because no matter how much you want to be close with someone, you will always push them away."

Jeongin was almost chocking on unshed tears, "you're a fucking dickhead."

"At least I never cheated on my boyfriend."

"You were always a fucking asshole to me." He was about to lose it, and quietly he thanked god that lectures have already started and only people in empty hallway were them. "Don't even try to hide it, you know shit you did and you know how much it fucked me up. Yet you have a fucking nerve to stand there and try to make me feel worse about myself. Yeah, I can't make friends. Even my own parents don't want to be close to me. I hope you're happy that we finally acknowledged it."

"Jeongin..." Minho starts, but is silenced by Jeongin's deathly stare.

The stare that appeared only because arrogance in Minho's voice was almost all faded away. Jeongin couldn't stand being there with eyes of pity on him and out of all people, eyes of Minho.
