New Beginnings- Jicheol

Chapter 6

"Okay, so do you guys get it?" Wonwoo asked Jeonghan, Jisoo, Mingyu, Minghao, Junhui, Seungkwan, Hansol, Chan, Soonyoung, and Seokmin. They all nodded. Wonwoo was going over how they were going to get Seungcheol to tell them if he liked Jihoon and how they were going to get them together. They were in the lounge of their university, but in a more private area.

"We already know that Jihoon has some feelings. It's pretty obvious about Seungcheol, but we just need to make sure," Seokmin added. Everyone nodded. Junhui put his arm around Minghao.

"Okay, so me, Jeonghan, and Wonwoo are going to talk to Seungcheol tonight?" Jisoo asked, putting a reminder in his phone.

"Yeah," Mingyu replied, checking his watch.

"Okay, we have to go to class now, but you guys get it, right?" Soonyoung asked, while all of them nodded. Soonyoung ran off to find Seungcheol.

"Wait, what if Seungcheol doesn't have feelings for Jihoon?" Seungkwan asked Hansol as they held hands. Hansol's class started 5 minutes later than Seungkwan's so he was walking him to class.

"Have you seen the guy around Jihoon? He's a total fool. I could probably kick him as he stared at Jihoon and Seungcheol would apologize," Hansol pointed out to Seungkwan and the other nodded.

"Okay, I just don't want this all to end up in a mess, because Jihoon has never been in a relationship and Seungcheol's last relationship didn't end well. Remember, his ex cheated and Seungcheol was so broken up about it," Seungkwan looked Vernon in the eyes.

"You care so much about our friends, but let's just wait until tonight, okay?" Vernon kissed the top of Seungkwan's hair and playfully hit him on the ass before going off to his class. Seungkwan opened the door to the lecture hall, hoping that two of his best friends would work out.

"What do I text Seungcheol?" Jisoo asked Jeonghan as they walked to their last lecture of the day.

"I don't know. Ask him if he will be home for dinner," Jeonghan said, re-adjusting his backpack.

"Okay, is your back still hurting?" Jisoo asked after pressing the send button, trying to take Jeonghan's backpack from him.

"I'm fine," Jeonghan pulled back the backpack.

"You need a better mattress," Jisoo told Jeonghan.

"It's okay. I'm fine right now," Jeonghan said, smiling.

"You can stay over if your back gets really bad," Jisoo offered.

"It should be fine, but I can still stay over," Jeonghan winked, which earned him a slap on the arm.

"You're such an idiot," Jisoo laughed before opening the door for his boyfriends for a Socratic seminar.

"Did he reply?" Jeonghan asked, peering over Jisoo's shoulder.

"Just now. He said that he would be at home after picking up the groceries," Jisoo said, settling down in his chair and pulling out the tray to take notes.

"Perfect time for us to interrogate," Jeonghan smiled angelically before the professor called attention.

"I'm home!" Seungcheol called out to the rest of the apartment. Wonwoo, who was sitting in the living room doing calculus with Jisoo, replied with, "Good for you."

Seungcheol set the groceries down in the kitchen as Jeonghan came flying out of the bathroom with wet hair.

"Okay, now get out of the kitchen. I'm going to make dinner now and you can't be in the way or I might slap you," Jeonghan shooed him out. In forty minutes, all four of them were sitting down at the table. The meal began in silence but Seungcheol could feel six eyes on him.
