It can't be a crush, right?

"Soonyoung...?"- Latter snapped out of his thoughts and realized he's been staring at Jihoon the whole time.

It's not like Jihoon minded it anyways. He simply thought, that Soonyoung either got lost in his thoughts and didn't pay attention or (hopefully not) Jihoon's zone out mixed with troubled expression on his face concerned the older. Overall, whether it was the first or second one, Jihoon didn't care. He tends to zone out and stare on stuff or people for a long periods of time, he knows how it feels to get caught.

Awkward.

They were just standing there silently, not even at the grocery's yet because they stopped walking without noticing it. Untill the older one spoke: "I'm sorry. You know, for staring. I just-". "Got lost in your thoughts, huh? Don't worry, I don't mind it. I get caught staring a lot, no need to worry."- younger said as he gave older a shy smile trying to make situation less awkward.

"Cute..." - older thought

"Y-yeah, thanks" - "why did I stutter?"

"We probably should get going already, it will take some time to get to the grocery's and I don't want to waste my day off-" Jihoon said and began to walk towards the direction of the shop again.

"Oh, yeah, right!" - answered Soonyoung and joined the other male.

It was silent for a while, it's not like the silence was uncomfortable for any of them. It felt right? The type of silence like they've been friends since a long time. Like, they knew each other before. However, as expected from Soonyoung, he started another conversation.

"Jihoon, well, you said you have a day off- Are you working somewhere or... maybe studying?"

"Oh, well... I'm a student a actually. But I work in a part time job as well" - answered Jihoon.

"What are you majoring in?" - asked Soonyoung, again.

"Fine arts. I'm on my 2nd year, actually." - replied shorter boy.

"Oh- What a coincidence, again! To be honest, I moved in here because I transferred to college around here, I'm a Fine Art's student as well!"(Does that even work like this? I don't even know- just let's pretend it does.) - said Soonyoung happily.

"O-oh?"

So... I might actually see him everyday, huh? Why did he transfer though?

"I see. Well, hmm, any reasons you decided to transfer? It's unusual for a college students to do that." - asked Jihoon, now getting kind of interested in not so awkward conversation.

"Nothing deep honestly. It's just that I've wanted to live on my own and be more independent for a while now. I just needed some time to find the right place and normally I don't think I would transfer, overall I was already attending college. So yeah it was bothersome with all that transfer stuff. It's just, you know, I've got a best friend that goes to the same college here. So I thought it would be comfortable for me, besides that I feel like I can really broaden my mind here. I don't know, just live my life and do stuff I love, if that makes sense?" - answered Soonyoung.
