"And then I- Are you even listening?" Mingi was telling Jongho how he screwed up his presentation in class earlier. They were currently sitting in a café in the mall. But while the older was talking Jongho had been staring somewhere behind him. It seemed like none of the words his friend has spoken even reached his brain. Mingi turned around to find out what he was looking at.

What his eyes fell onto wasn't a "what" rather than a "who". A tall, raven-haired boy was standing at the entrance to the café, his back turned towards them, apparently waiting for someone. Mingi turned back around and waved his hand in front of the youngers face to get his attention. "Who is that?", he asked the younger. Mingi felt like he had seen the raven head somewhere before, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Jongho shrugged and tried to stir the conversation away from the boy he might have had a crush on: "I don't know. I'm sorry, what were you saying earlier?" "Doesn't matter. I'd rather you tell me why you're staring at him", Mingi nodded his head towards the boy behind him. Jongho blushed. "U-uh. I-I wasn't s-staring at him", he said with wide eyes. Mingi didn't buy it. "You were. Do you know him?" "N-no?", Jongho shook his head hesitantly. "H-he just seems kinda f-familiar. As if I had seen him s-somewhere." Mingi nodded slowly and turned around again.

The raven-haired boy had turned around a little, making it possible for Mingi to see his face. He did know him! He turned back around. "How would you know Gunho?", he asked his friend. "You know his name?", Jongho looked at the older confused, "How?"

Now it was Mingi's turn to be flustered: "Uhm... He's my b- umm f-friend Yunho's little brother." "I didn't even know you were friends with someone named Yunho. How come you've never told us anything about him?", Jongho was suspicious. Mingi was slightly panicked now, but tried to not let it show. He wasn't ready to spill his secret about having a boyfriend yet. "I guess it just never came up?"

Jongho decided to not ask any further. Mingi wouldn't let out a fulfilling answer anyway. "Nevermind. Let's just eat up and continue shopping", he suggested, given that Gunho had already left in the meantime, meaning he didn't have anything, or rather anyone, to stare at anymore anyway.
