"HOW DO YOU tell someone you like them?"

jisung's mother snapped her head up. "what?"

the boy sighed and focused his gaze on his plate. recently he had been wondering if he should just tell his crush already but he was hesitant. chenle had been his first serious crush and he was so awkward and confused.

"i don't know, i just... i've liked him for so long now. should i just be honest? it kind of sucks holding it in."

mrs. park pursed her lips. "i think you should. maybe not now but definitely tell him soon. it's not healthy to hold these things in. plus he's your best friend, he deserves to know, don't you think?"

jisung nodded, taking a bite of his breakfast. "i'll ask nana after school today."

mrs. park smiled. "okay, sweetie."

"aight, what is this about? i know you don't need help with math. it is the dolphin?"

jisung snickered at the nickname but nodded nonetheless.

"duh."

jaemin raised his eyebrows teasingly. "finally gonna confess, huh?"

"actually, wait–" jaemin cheered when the flustered jisung froze and turned red. "oh my god, jisung, really?"

jisung groaned, hiding his blush. "maybe...?"

the older squealed and bounced up and down in his seat. he was excited. he imagined all of the cute ways that jisung could confess and the blush that would so obviously stain his cheeks and chenle getting all shy and happy and- okay, jaemin, calm down. he looked at jisung expectantly.

"so? you have a plan?" jisung thought for a moment and shook his head reluctantly, biting his lip. jaemin grinned even wider. that meant he could help!

"yay! okay, let's brainsto- wait, can i call jeno here?"

jisung huffed. "of course you want jeno here."

jaemin winked but took that as a yes and pulled his phone out, finding jeno's contact immediately (acorn with hearts around it). jeno picked up after a few moments, answering with a 'what is it this time, nana?'

the two had a short-lived conversation that jisung didn't even bother to listen to before the caramel-haired boy put the phone down with a dreamy smile. "he's coming."

"whipped," jisung coughed. the other heard him and leaned forward to slap his arm. "says you, bitch. we're literally about to discuss how you're going to tell him that."

they chatted about school, dance, whatever they could think of until jeno arrived, waddling into the library in his colour-blocked hoodie and three iced teas. he placed them all on the table and smiled to his friends, ruffling jaemin's hair (and making him smile even wider. again- whipped.) "now that i'm here, let's discuss the wedding."

jisung nearly spit out the tea he had just taken a sip of. "jen, we're not-"

"yes! i can use my license for wedding planning now," jaemin joined in, high-fiving the eye smile chick. the youngest whined, looking at his two friends with a face of 'please stop torturing me before i cry.'

"aight! first things first, you wanna be cliche 'n shit or just be straight up?" jeno leaned forward, pulling out a little notebook and pen that jisung hadn't even noticed before. he sighed. "either way it'll be awkward. have you met me?"

"okay, let's not think about that," jaemin waved his arms. "cute or classic?"

jisung puffed his cheeks. "classic? i'm not very good at cliche."

jaemin snorted. "okay but you remember what you told me you did a few days ago? when chenle was sad that he couldn't be in a cute relationship? that was pretty fucking cliche, my man."

jeno nodded, squinting his eyes and inhaling sharply. "true."

the youngest of the three sighed. "okay. well, give me ideas. i don't want to just walk up to him and be like 'oh h-hey i uh didn't uh sEE YOU THERE' because we all know that is what is going to happen if i don't figure it out."

it was silent for a moment. they all stared at each other quietly before suddenly, somehow, both jeno and jaemin started spewing out ideas like a volcano. all jisung got out of their rambling was 'just kiss him' and 'give him flowers and mwah' and something about llamas?

jisung's eyes widened. "...what?"

jaemin rolled his eyes, nudging jeno's shoulder as a gesture for him to go first. jeno winked at him before turning to jaemin and taking a sister sassy sip of his tea. "i say you catch him off guard. take him out for ice cream or something and just be like 'i like you' and boom. if he's confused or asks you to repeat it, then go into a bit more detail."

jisung thought over it for a moment and wondered, 'am i confident enough for that?' until he realised that it was probably one of the easiest ways to do what he wanted to. he nodded sharply.

"i'll think about it."
