it was finally monday - go to school, sort out things with jeongwoo and maybe leave him alone for a while. that was the plan haruto had decided to stick to, coming up with over the weekend.

that was until, he saw jeongwoo walking in history with an oversized hoodie with his spectacles on, and a iced latte in his hand.

yedam could swear he saw hearts in haruto's eyes for a second but he brushed it off to pay attention to the cute dancer boy next to him.

although he was tempted haruto knew it was better to keep his mouth shut for now and not make any conversation when jeongwoo comes to his seat. what made it worse was when he saw jeongwoo sit next to the booger kid of the class. fucking booger kid – the kid everyone, including the teachers disliked. oh god, did he fuck up that bad?

haruto couldn't concentrate during the whole lesson, it was only the start of the semester and he already felt like he was failing.

jeongwoo on the other hand thought he was over it, done dealing with haruto, he just would do anything to not let the boy cross his mind again.

as soon as class ended, jeongwoo was the first to rush out. unfortunately haruto lost him in the crowd due to break time.

after being asked several times by mashiho if he was okay, while the four were having their lunch at the usual spot, the question got jeongwoo emotional and he finally broke down and let it out.

"that asshole haruto, son of a bitch i hate him so much." the shorter ended emotionally.

all he got in return after his long rant was three pair of eyes staring the shit out of him, which honestly kind of scared jeongwoo making him wonder if they even believed him or not. did he say something wrong or offending?

"so um, remember how we mentioned about mashiho's brother? haha! how ironic this is! his brother's, yeah, um haruto." junghwan broke the silence ending his words with a slight chuckle.

"hey jeongwoo.... that doesn't means i'll support everything he does, i'm disappointed in him and i apologize for his shitty behavior. honestly i'm not gonna defend him but not having your parents around while you're growing up does make you kind of an ass. i'm just relieved that dumbass is acting mature now." mashiho finally spoke up after a minute of more silence, while yoonbin just sat there and ate his food.

letting out an exaggerated smile jeongwoo passed a small smile before clasping his hands together and making his way out of the cafeteria.

oh my god. that was the only thing running through his head, this time it was gonna be jeongwoo who looses a screw. he finally thought he had some new college friends he could be comfortable around but ofcourse life just had to remind him that it's a bitch.

"a better suggestion to just let this mess disappear would be something like, a fake boyfriend. i volunteer since you're cute." yoonbin said pretending to think while suggesting his idea and made his way over towards jeongwoo who was currently sitting outside the cafeteria not sure where to go and what to do.

"i don't even know you, besides that sounds like a terrible idea." just like your outfit, jeongwoo thought.

"it's not actually, if you think about it. you get rid of haruto, and i get to know you better, it's a win–win situation." the taller replied with a smug expression giving the shorter a wink.

"i don't think so, ha. leave me alone." jeongwoo walked away, certain that he needed to talk to someone about this, someone who'd actually listen. so he eventually found himself walking towards the huge room in the dormitory where he and his friends decided to meet whenever they were free - which they actually never ended up doing since they've been busy.

jeongwoo was surprised to find hyunsuk there, all by himself watching something on the tv. as soon as he saw jeongwoo walk in a huge smile made it's way on his face making jeongwoo miss being around his friends.

"yo woo who was that hottie you were with outside the cafeteria?" the blonde said while emphasizing his first word, making way over towards him interest in the taller written all over his face.

had he been keeping an eye on him what the heck? jeongwoo was frazzled and remembered what he came for. "no one you should be concerned about hyunsuk, where's yedam?"

"dude, no need to be so rude, he your boyfriend or something? i can see it happening haha..." earning a glare from jeongwoo which kind of made the other gulp, "uhhhh you know that dancer boy doyoung? yedam doesn't even joins us during lunch anymore, he's always with him at his dance practice or just hanging out together, i mean yedam who during high school wouldn't leave our side at all costs and was persistent about our group always staying together, college changes you man.... but whatever i'm still about that party life!"

hearing that made jeongwoo's heart hurt a little, sure he didn't have a crush on yedam anymore but the other's presence was just so precious to him that it alone would make jeongwoo cheer up. despite sharing history and geography jeongwoo barely got to see him even in the classes.

"hey you remember haruto? what an asshole he was during high school?" jeongwoo blurted just wanting to let someone know how he felt, how fed up he was.

"to be clear - only an asshole to you and ofcourse who can forget him, we share sociology together." hyunsuk replied while giving jeongwoo his box smile. 

"he takes sociol- he told me he's into me, can you believe that?"

"oh man! that pussy ass bitch finally confessed! god jeongwoooooo i'm so happy for you, i always knew since high school that you'd get your sappy romantic ending with haruto just like in the movies!" the blonde said dramatically while throwing his hands in the air.

"you're hopeless oh my god. hyunsuk! this is why you're single." jeongwoo let out frustrated.

"hey man, i was only joking you're being too harsh you know." and he walked away after a while of silence, leaving the boy alone in his own thoughts.

jeongwoo made his way back to the dorm after classes and paced around the dormitory, he finally came to a decision - okay he had a plan. fake date yoonbin, let haruto know jeongwoo isn't interested, haruto finds someone new to annoy. jeongwoo goes back to minding his own business. perfect.

before he'd change his mind and came up with a worse idea he quickly left his room and knocked on yoonbin's door. after only a single knock the door opened and the taller gladly let jeongwoo gladly in. "i'm sure you're here to let me know about how absolutely right i am, cause i know i am." yoonbin said while giving an eye smile.

"yeah yeah. i guess you weren't so wrong. i mean what's the harm?.... just some clarifications though. no doing it over the top, only infront of haruto and only at a minimum limit, i can get uncomfortable easily so just letting you know."

"whatever you say, shortie." the taller replied giving him a wink. "guess we start tomorrow."

"yeah, i'll leave now.. uh thanks yoonbin." jeongwoo got up to make his way out of yoonbin's dorm when a thought crossed his mind.

"hey yoonbin? if you're mashiho's best friend wouldn't it be weird for you to fake date me? just clearing it up." jeongwoo asked wondering why the taller was totally up for doing this. wouldn't it make it a little uncomfortable, it would be that way for him if he was in yoonbin's position.

"not when i'm doing exactly what he did to me."
