"jisoo hyung" seokmin smiled softly, looking down at jisoo with fondness in his eyes. 

it had been so long since he had actually seen jisoo's face and it was refreshing. he looked just as beautiful as before though the sickness was clear due to his reddish nose and puffy eyes. seokmin just wanted to hold him tight and never let go. he went to reach for jisoo's face but frowned when he flinched and moved his head to he side, avoiding the touch.

the older refused to make eye contact, biting his lip and staring off to the distance. he wasn't prepare to see seokmin, let alone be standing chest to chest with the taller. why won't he stop chasing him? shouldn't he be spending all this time with his girlfriend? did he really feel that sorry for jisoo that he would go through all this trouble? doesn't he know how much pain jisoo was feeling?

"excuse me" jisoo blandly said, trying to maneuver around seokmin, which made the taller chuckle but grab his wrist. jisoo let out a shaky breath.

"hyung, please stop trying to run away from me" seokmin tried, eyebrows creasing together when jisoo didn't turn back around to face him. "can we talk?"

"i'll be late to class" jisoo lied swiftly, tugging on the arm seokmin had in his grasp but huffed when seokmin wasn't letting go. seokmin shook his head at the excuse.

"you don't even have any more classes today"

jisoo blood froze cold when hearing the younger's words. he turned around slowly to see seokmin's triumphant smile but eyes filled with slight cockiness.

"how-"

"did you forget minghao was some sort of computer wiz and can hack into literally anything? i saw your schedule" seokmin said with a cheeky grin with jisoo groaning slightly. 

seokmin had a hold of his schedule which meant he could find him any time at school. why was this happening? jisoo opened his mouth to speak until a voice, calling out towards them stopped him.

"seokmin-ah!"

the two boys turned to see kim jisoo waving brightly, strutting towards them in a dress that shaped her body perfectly and ankle boots that made her skinny legs look extended and long. she looked radiant under the shining sun; so put together and beautiful. jisoo gulped, tearing out of seokmin's loosened grip and recomposing himself, insecure thoughts arising from the back of his mind.

"why do you waste your time on me when you have her?" jisoo asked the younger, almost glaring into his eyes. seokmin planted a confused expression on his face.

"what?"

"have fun with your girlfriend, seokmin" jisoo spoke calmly, walking away in disappointment.

seokmin was left to stand outside the library, trying to process the five words the older male had spoken. that was the moment seokmin pieced it all together. he slapped himself in the face harshly which made jisoo scrunch up her nose.

"whoa, okay... who was that by the way? your boyfriend?" she smirked, noticing that seokmin was holding that other guy's wrist and was standing quite close to him.

seokmin laughed bitterly due to the realisation he had just had and walked to the bench, dragging his body along. "defiantly not"

jisoo squinted her eyes and followed the male, sitting down next to him. "something's up, huh? wanna talk about it?"

seokmin sighed then groaned, burying his head in his hands. "i think i totally messed up"

so, jisoo had thought seokmin was together kim jisoo. no wonder he was acting so sad and distant. the guy he had poured out all his feelings towards seokmin, only to find out the guy he liked was "dating" someone else. seokmin felt like an idiot for not realising even if there was no way of noticing in the first place. jisoo was mad because he thought he had no chance and he was avoiding seokmin because of his heartbreak. 

seokmin felt terrible after explaining everything to jisoo, from the situation to what he believed was going on in jisoo's mind. she listened carefully, occasionally nodding or humming when appropriate.

"you should really clear all of this up as soon as possible" jisoo concluded which made seokmin slump in the bench.

"you think i haven't tried? he just keeps running away, he won't listen!" seokmin yelled in frustration.

"well, i don't blame him. poor guy got his heart broken" jisoo frowned which only made seokmin feel worse. she noticed his wince and laughed awkwardly, quickly saying sorry. "um, i don't really have any advice for you besides doing the obvious which is trying to talk to him. i guess you should take him to a place where he can't easily run off and try to make him understand. you care about him don't you?"

there wasn't even a slight ounce of hesitation in seokmin's response. "of course!" he exclaimed suddenly.

"then you can't give up"
