summary:

junhui is too damn handsome for his own good and longtime best friend minghao has had enough of it.

alternatively, minghao gets jealous when a creep hits on junhui and junhui teases him about it later.

____________________________________________________________

Junhui getting asked out is nothing new.

He's handsome, tall, smart, cute, funny, deep-voiced, beautiful, always hungry, flexible, and drop-dead gorgeous. Minghao isn't surprised in the slightest that people ask the elder out almost daily.

Minghao also isn't surprised that he's not asked out as often as Junhui is.

He isn't handsome, or tall, or smart, or cute, or funny, or deep-voiced, or beautiful, or always hungry or even drop-dead gorgeous as Junhui. All he has going for him is his baby face and flexibility. Which isn't much once he really thinks about it.

Junhui would disagree though. As best friends, they're required to hype one another up, even though Junhui doesn't usually need it. He has enough adoring fans in their university alone that Minghao is very concerned about the size of the older man's ego.

However, Junhui is undeniably attractive. It's a fact that Minghao has always known. Ever since they were children Junhui had always been favored by the neighborhood aunties and the popular kids at their schools. A flock of people had always followed Junhui around. They were all eager to become close to the most handsome guy in school and maybe get a shot at dating him. Minghao considers himself lucky for being friends with the elder for so long.

It really was by chance that their mothers happened to be in the same book club and planned out playdates for them as toddlers. Still, even the one year difference in their ages hadn't stopped Junhui from pestering Minghao day in and day out.

He doesn't know when he fell for the older boy.

That took him completely by surprise.

Even so, Minghao doesn't say anything about his feelings for the elder. Junhui is pursued by admirers almost daily and Minghao doesn't want to become one of them. It's almost pathetic how someone will shove a gift into Junhui's arms and ask him out on a date, as if they're hoping to somehow buy Junhui's interest, but Junhui merely shoves the gift back at them and declines.

Minghao used to keep a tally of how many people had failed to get to Junhui, but in their senior year when he'd marked off the two-hundredth person, Minghao stopped keeping score. Now he just tries his best to not act bothered when yet another person decides they're going to be the one who wins Junhui over.

And now they're in that same predicament once again. Well, at least Junhui is.

But also Minghao as well since he doesn't like the way that Junhui's entire body is tensed as if he's ready to run. The boy in front of them doesn't look like he could harm either of them, he's shorter than Minghao is and he knows from experience that this boy is only a freshman.

The way Junhui is acting though, Minghao would probably think that the kid standing before them is a serial killer or something.

"Jun-hyung!" Minghao cringes inwardly at the honorific, still not used to the Korean language. "I bought you an Americano!"

The boy pushes the cup he clenched tightly in his hand into Junhui's and Minghao huffs out an irritated breath when he holds on much more longer than what is socially acceptable before letting go. Junhui keeps shooting him glances and Minghao should probably help him get away, but he already told the elder that his admirers are his own problem, not Minghao's.
