"No way, so you're telling me that the boy you've had a crush on for literally ages is going to be staying in your bedroom for the next few months?!" Jisoo inquired, his eyes boring into Jeonghan's incredulously. Jeonghan nodded.

"Wow hyung, you're so lucky! Do you know how happy I'd be if I got to live with my crush?" Seokmin exclaimed, swooning with a dreamy look in his eyes. Jisoo glared at Seokmin and slapped the back of his head to snap him out of his daydreams.

"We aren't talking about you, you dimwit, this is about Jeonghan. No one cares about the mystery man that you're in love with," Jisoo jealously growled. He turned back to Jeonghan. "So what's living with Seungcheol been like?"

"Jisoo, it's only been a few days. What do you expect of me?" Jeonghan responded, giving Jisoo a flat look.

"Hey, I mean, who knows? You guys are two young, horny, teenage boys that are sharing a room together. You must've done something," Jisoo stated. Jeonghan sighed.

"Unfortunately, nothing new has happened. He still hates me, and I'm still head over heels for him," Jeonghan said. Jisoo opened his mouth to reply, but he was cut off by a loud voice.

"Guys, guys! Did you see? Our literature exam rankings have been posted!" their friend Soonyoung shouted, running up to them.

"Really? Let's go see what I got! I bet I got a higher ranking in my grade than you did in yours, Soonyoung-hyung!" Seokmin declared excitedly.

The two childish boys raced to the bulletin board, and after sharing nervous looks, Jisoo and Jeonghan ran after them. They pushed through the crowd to look at their results, then backed away into a less crowded area to talk.

"I can't believe it! Seungcheol got first place again!" Jeonghan cheered happily. Jisoo sighed.

"I thought I told you to stop checking what he gets on tests and to start checking what you got instead, you creep," Jisoo said, his voice oddly similar to one of an annoyed father's.

"Ah, right...sorry," Jeonghan replied sheepishly, rubbing his neck. Jisoo sighed.

"That's fine. I expected that you would forget, so I checked for you. Jeonghan, you got 52nd place," Jisoo told him, his tone patronizing. Jeonghan beamed.

"That's better than last time!" Jeonghan said, a wide grin on his face.

"Jeonghan, you barely got out of being in the bottom five," Jisoo scolded. Jeonghan frowned.

"I know, but I'm just not good at literature! Trigonometry, physics, biology, I can do all of those in my sleep. But literature? I don't understand poetry, nor do I understand what all those stories and plays mean. God, I hate literature! It's too confusing," Jeonghan complained.

"Hyung, think about it! This is the perfect way to get Seungcheol-hyung to fall in love with you!" Seokmin said as he rejoined the pair. Jeonghan gave him a confused look.

"What do you mean?" Jeonghan asked.

"Well, Seungcheol is good at literature right? And you're terrible at it! So, you should get him to tutor you. Then, you can get him to fall in love with you, just like in 'My Tutor Friend!'" Seokmin explained.

"Seokmin, this is real life, not a movie," Jisoo told him.

"It's worth a shot, though, right?" Jeonghan admitted. Jisoo sighed.

"If that's the only idea that you can think of, then go for it, I guess. Maybe it'll work," Jisoo conceded. Seokmin grinned at Jisoo.

"Right? I think it'll work too! I'm so glad you agree with me, Jisoo-hyung!" Seokmin exclaimed, a lovesick sparkle in his eyes as he stared at Jisoo.

If this was an anime, Jeonghan was sure there would be hearts in Seokmin's eyes. Jisoo glanced back at Seokmin, then turned away, his face red.

"Shut up. Besides, you got the wrong movie. It'd be more like 'My Tutor Friend 2,' since they're living together," Jisoo said as he walked away from the other two boys. Seokmin ran after Jisoo like an overly energetic puppy.

"Ah, you're right as always. Oh, by the way, I saw your test ranking! You did amazingly, just as expected! I did well, I guess, but not as well as you did! Hey, maybe you can tutor me too!" Jeonghan heard Seokmin ramble as he and Jisoo got further away from Jeonghan, who was walking behind the pair at a slower pace.

"D-dumbass! What are you saying?! Don't you have a crush already?!"

"I could never like someone more than you, Jisoo-hyung!"

Jeonghan chucked fondly as he stared after his friends. If only his love life was as easy as theirs. He smiled as he thought of Seungcheol and his perfect score again, and Jeonghan let out a small cheer, earning weird stares from nearby people. Oh, how he hoped this plan would work.

A/N: hahahahaha I have my first AP test in about 110 minutes and I'm still kinda freaking out bc I barely studied for it(and looking over my notes for the year for about 15 minutes this morning hardly counts as studying, right?). I think I'll be okay though. I got a 3 on the practice exam with no preparation(and not completely answering one of the FRQs), and that's all I need to pass. still, wish me luck anyways!

linked song is "Boomerang" by The Summer Set bc it's the first song I ever heard by them and I immediately fell in love with it. also, if it isn't one of your favorite songs ever, you may want to consider getting your ears checked out. wow and they're all so attractive like woah what??? how??? and the music video is pretty cute itself :D

also sorry about the Seoksoo bits but not really lmao if you didn't know that I'm Seoksoo trash by now that's just weird like when don't I talk about Seoksoo? jealous Jisoo is gr8 you gotta admit it ;) anyways I hope you enjoyed this!!! have a wonderful day and tysm for reading!!! <3 <3 <3
