"So you can do icing and foam art, huh? Are you good at drawing then too?" Seungcheol asked Jeonghan as the pair walked home. "You probably are, aren't you? Of course you would be."

"Actually...not really. I can draw decently I guess – after all, I need to be able to make fairly accurate diagrams for science and all – but...I don't know. I can't make super accurate drawings like most people can. They're just not terrible. I don't know why, but for some reason, icing and foam art are just way easier for me," Jeonghan answered. He frowned. "Sorry. That didn't help explain it at all, did it?"

"Well...not really," Seungcheol replied, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. Jeonghan bit his lip nervously. "B-But I kinda understood what you meant! I think!"

"Thanks." Jeonghan half-smiled gratefully, and Seungcheol nodded. The two boys were quiet for a few minutes before Seungcheol finally broke the silence.

"Hey." Seungcheol walked in front of Jeonghan to stop him. "I'm craving snacks. Wanna go get some? My treat."

"O-Oh, you don't have to do that!" Jeonghan shook his head. "We can split it!"

"Are you kidding? You always pay for my siblings and I. Hell, your family is even offering mine a place to live. I can pay for a few snacks, Jeonghan. I'm not that broke," Seungcheol joked.

"Right, okay. Still, I feel kinda bad–" Jeonghan started.

"I'm paying, and that's final. C'mon, let's go get some snacks already. We need to go home soon for dinner too," Seungcheol said, grabbing Jeonghan's hand and pulling him along.

"Huh? I–okay then." Jeonghan blushed.

Seungcheol kept making him so flustered. What was Jeonghan going to do? His heart dropped. Seungcheol was straight. He never had a chance in the first place. He had to stop thinking that he did. Seungcheol wasn't gay. He was straight. Jeonghan would never have a chance. He felt a sharp pang in his chest. Nothing would ever happen. Seungcheol would never see him as anything more than a friend. Jeonghan frowned. Fate was cruel.
