Yukhei sighed loudly, flopping down onto his bunk. The wood groaned in annoyance. Johnny flipped him off.

"Can you not, this bed already handles a lot," Johnny muttered, pulling his covers up.

"Who's idea was it to make two six foot dudes share a bunk bed?" Yukhei groaned. Johnny ignored him.

"Johnny, I need boy advice," Yukhei said again.

"You sound like a pubescent heterosexual female in junior high school," Johnny muttered. Yukhei rolled his eyes.

"Whatever, but I need boy advice," Yukhei said.

"You need to talk to him," Johnny said. Yukhei snorted.

"Is that what you did with Ten?"

"No,"

"You do realize that no one in this entire situation got their boyfriend by 'talking to them'?" Yukhei pointed out. It was true; Taeyong had slid into Jaehyun's DMs; Renjun, Jeno, and Jaemin were in the same class; Chenle and Jisung were natural buddies; Taeil and Doyoung had kissed in the bathroom; Johnny and Ten had gone straight to the first date. Just Yukhei left.

"Yeah, but everyone had their own approach to the situation," Johnny noted, "maybe you destined to 'talking to him'." Suddenly, a banging came from the other side of the wall.

"Can y'all shut up or do I have to shut you up?" Yuta yelled.

"Not as bad as you two moaning at three am!" Johnny challenged back.

"Go the fuck to sleep," Taeyong screeched from the other wall. Johnny and Yukhei looked at each other and shrugged.

Jungwoo plopped himself on the couch next to Ten. Ten didn't look up from his phone. Jungwoo sighed loudly. Ten still didn't look up. Jungwoo sighed loudly again. Ten looked up.

"What do you want?" Ten wrinkled his nose at him.

"What is love, Ten?" Jungwoo asked.

"What the fuck?" Ten answered.

"How do I know I love someone?" Jungwoo asked. Realization dawned on Ten.

"Oh, is this about that six foot hottie from Dante's Inferno?" Ten asked.

"His name is Wong Yukhei, and he's exactly six feet tall," Jungwoo said dreamily.

"Talk to him," Ten said. Jungwoo looked at Ten.

"I'm too scared for that," Jungwoo said. Ten shrugged.

"Then I guess you don't love him enough," Ten replied.
