Never in a million Years

Whipped

Falling in love was not a part of Jihoon's plan. He was in trouble. Never in a million years did he think that he would fall in love with the school's most popular boy. And if you're wondering who it is, then the answer quite simple. Choi Seungcheol is his name, and the fact that he is undeniably straight makes everything worse. Just how he fell in love was a freaking mystery to the boy.

Jihoon looked across the table for what seemed like the hundredth time.

"Jesus fucking Christ man. How long are you gonna continue on staring at Seungcheol?" said Soonyoung, but everyone called him Hoshi.

"Tsk I was not staring," said Jihoon defensively. Jihoon was currently sitting at the far end table with his friends Soonyoung and Jisoo. And no matter what anyone said Jihoon was not staring. Well, he liked to call it observing.

"Oh that's bullshit," said Jisoo. He swore if he had a dollar for every time he caught Jihoon staring at the other, he would be rich as hell.

"I'm not lying. I wasn't staring," said Jihoon looking away from Seungcheol. He knew that falling in love with the other boy was hopeless. Seungcheol was the popular guy and Jihoon was the not so popular guy. Of course he had many friends, but not at the level of Seungcheol's.

"I'm surprised he hasn't noticed the staring. I swear some people can be out right ignorant," said Jisoo as he poked his food around with a fork.

"Oh I think he has," said Soonyoung

"I swear this is just like a high school romance novel. You know the one's where the girl falls in love with Mr. popular and they somehow fall in love and stuff," Jisoo said as help ate a spoonful of potatoes.

"Don't tell me you read that kind of crap," replied Soonyoung.

"Hell no. I'm a grown ass man in college. I don't have time to read that stuff."

"Then why did I see that romance kind of stuff in your dorm yesterday," said Soonyoung as he and Jihoon burst out laughing. They were making quite a lot of noise from the other side of the cafeteria where Seungcheol could hear them laughing. Jihoon glanced across the room and noticed that he had caught the attention of the other boy.

"Fucking shit. Shut up we're making too much noise," he said trying to avoid eye contact with the object of his affections.

"What? Afraid he'll listen in to our conversation. He's all the way across the cafeteria. It's not like he could hear your confession of undying love," said Soonyoung as Jisoo put his hand on his heart and acted like a love sick fool.

"Oh Seungcheol, oh my love won't you give thee a kiss on thy SMACK"

"Ouch," he said as he pouted.

"That was uncalled for," he said as he rubbed the spot on his head where Jihoon had smacked him. He looked back across the room and noticed that Seungcheol wasn't looking at them. He was laughing at something that his friends had said.

"Oh my god. Again, I swear to everything that is holy that you are downright obsessed. I bet you follow him around and wish that you could have a chance to be alone with him in a room and-"

"Shut up," said Jihoon. The truth was he did like Seungcheol, but he didn't have those kinds of crushes where he would do anything to be alone with him. No. He liked to admire him from far away where he didn't make a fool out of himself.

"Okay I'll shut Up, but I swear one day he'll be bound to notice, and when he does you have some serious explaining to do."

"Yeah, that won't happen," he said as he stood up and threw away his trash. Soonyoung put his arm around his shoulder and the three friends walked outside of the cafeteria. Jihoon refused to look at Seungcheol because while he didn't want to admit it, he could give himself away.

Meanwhile on the other side of the cafeteria, Seungcheol didn't notice his friends trying to get his attention. He was focused on the retreating figure of Jihoon.

"Earth to Seungcheol," said Vernon as he waved hand in front of his friend's face.

"Hmm," replied Seungcheol.

"What's got you so distracted," said Vernon as he looked behind his shoulder.

"Nothing," he replied.

"Yeah right, what's got the leader of the diamond group so distracted," said Mingyu. That's what they called him and his group of friends. The diamond pack. It was a silly name that some random person started their first year of college, but it stuck around.

"I bet it's that girl from your political science group eh?" asked Vernon.

"Nope," he replied.

"Damn, she pretty cute though," Vernon said.

"No. I know who it is. It's woozi isn't it?" asked Mingyu.

"Who?"

"Seesh, you're pinning over the guy and you don't even know his nickname," said Mingyu incredulously.

"I am not pinning," he said defensively.

"Uh yeah you are. If you like him just go talk to him."

"Wait," interjected Vernon. "You mean peached haired woozi. Jihoon. About yay high," he said while dropping his hand ridiculously low.

"Hey, he's not that short!"

"O my god, you do like him!" said Vernon while he laughed. Okay, so what if he found Jihoon a bit interesting... okay maybe a lot interesting. He liked the way he smiled. And the way he would look away when he found him staring. Jihoon was very energetic, but could be adorably scary when he got angry. He once found him going off on one of his friends. Something about how Jisoo's snoring kept him up at night or something, but he found it cute.

"Hellooooo! Earth to Choi. Hellooooo. Dude he's whipped," said Vernon as he and Minyu burst out laughing.

"I say you should just declare you undying love already," said Mingyu between chuckles.

Seungcheol thought about it for a while. He was going to tell Jihoon, but he had to get the other to talk to him. And he would start tomorrow.
