With worried eyes, Wooyoung strolled over the stone towards the university. Deep in thought, he didn't notice when a motorcycle stopped not far from him and someone with gray hair got off.

"Wooyoung!" Wooyoung turned around questioningly. Mingi came running. As usual, he was wearing oversized jeans and a leather jacket. Wooyoung swallowed and stopped. When Mingi finally stood in front of him, he lowered his eyes. Mingi tried to calm his breathing, then he cleared his throat. "I wanted to apologize."
Wooyoung immediately looked up again. "You were right. With everything. I liked Hongjoong more than a friend and I lied to you because I didn't want to admit it to myself. I'm sorry."

Mingi bit his lip slightly. "And I'm also sorry for what I said, that no one likes you back. That's not true, you're perfect Wooyoung. Everyone would like you if they knew you better. You're great and you're my best friend. I'm sorry if I've kind of forgotten that lately."

Wooyoung stared at Mingi with glazed eyes, then suddenly he had to smile. "Mingiaaa.", he squeaked and threw his arms around Mingi's neck. Mingi started to laugh. "You know you shouldn't call me that," he said and returned the embrace.

Wooyoung laughed and pulled away from Mingi's arms again. "I'm sorry too, I didn't mean to argue with you," Wooyoung finally said. Mingi nodded slightly and grinned. Wooyoung breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't stand it when he and Mingi argued.

Suddenly, Wooyoung remembered something. "By the way, I got a message from Yeosang that he won't be coming to university for the next few days. He went home because his dog wasn't feeling well." Mingi's smile turned into a worried frown. "I hope he's all right," Mingi mumbled and Wooyoung immediately agreed.

As Mingi and Wooyoung entered the university building, Wooyoung poked Mingi in the side. "By the way," he mumbled, his cheeks heating up immediately. Mingi turned to him with a skeptical look. "Me and San." Wooyoung started to giggle. "We kissed."

Mingi's eyes widened and he slapped Wooyoung on the arm. "Are you kidding me?" he said, surprised. "Ouch.", Wooyoung complained. Then he smiled again and felt even warmer. Mingi gave him a heartwarming smile. "I'm so freaking happy for you Woo. Honestly." Wooyoung couldn't hide his joy and giggled again.

Shaking his head, Mingi walked down the hallway after dropping Wooyoung off at his class. He was very happy for Wooyoung and fervently hoped that San would make him happy.

As Mingi turned the next corner, he stopped abruptly. A few meters in front of him stood Yunho. He wore a hoodie as he almost always did and leaned against the beige wall of the corridor. When he spotted Mingi after a few seconds, he pushed himself away from the wall. And with a smile, he waved to Mingi.

Mingi just stared at him in amazement and when he noticed Yunho coming towards him, he turned around in a flash and ran away. He knew that what he was doing was totally childish, but he couldn't talk to Yunho right now. He had to think about everything first. With quick steps, Mingi walked to the toilets and hoped fervently that Yunho would disappear soon so that he could go back to his class.

During the lunch break, Mingi got his favorite drink from the vending machine next to the cafeteria. He looked at the can in his hand as he walked back and remembered how Yunho had given it to him. It had only been a small gesture, but no one had ever done anything like that for him before and Yunho even remembered what his favorite drink was. Maybe Yunho really meant it when he said that he liked him. But why would he like Mingi of all people?

Mingi shook his head in frustration. He was so lost in thought that he didn't realize where he was going and he bumped into someone "Oh my god sorry." Mingi groaned and reached for his can that had fallen to the ground.
