"oh! Good job!", Woojin patted Jisung's shoulder, a proud smile on his face. Jisung smiled back. "You had been gone for a day...I was going to scold you but you're doing good at practice"

"Just what did you do yesterday? You're in such a great shape today!", Jisung shrugged. Woojin had be dumbfounded if he knew Jisung just spent his day crying while ranting to Seungmin yesterday." Secret.", He gave a meaningful gaze at Seungmin who nodded at him. Seungmin really helped him a lot. He didn't know all he needed was someone to talk with and his burden lessened.

"Ah, right. Today can I skip drinking with you guys?", Jisung begged, clasping his hand together. Woojin shrugged. "I'm not forcing you too. Do you have any other plan?", Jisung nodded.

"He have a plan with me.", Woojin turned around, shock spread all over his face when he saw the owner of the voice. "Kevin?" He looked at Jisung then Kevin back to back. "You're friend with him?"

Jisung nodded. "What...I thought you hated him?", Woojin found it fishy that they were suddenly friend.

What really happened was...back to 4 hours ago when Jisung walked out from his dorm to take the trash out. He was wearing Hyunjin's hoodie without his realization and Hyunjin immediately recognize him. "Ji?", Jisung's heart skipped a beat when he heard the familiar voice calling him by his nickname. He didn't turn around, too afraid to face Hyunjin. It was especially hard to look at him when he heard everything from that night.

"Jisung?", It was as if Jisung was glued on the ground, he didn't turn around even after another person called him. It was Na-Eun. At first, he wondered why Na-Eun was there but then it came to him, she must have accepted his confession.

Jisung threw the trash into the trash in with the idea of running afterwards. Hyunjin managed to stop him before he could. "Are you avoiding me?"

"W--why should I?", He slapped his lips for stuttering. You sound more suspicious, you dumbass!!

How could Hyunjin believe him when Jisung refused to look at him in the eyes. All the time he was holding Jisung's hand, Jisung hadn't turn his head at all.

"I...have to go meet my friend now. Thanks for the book anyway, Hyunjin!", Na-Eun said and swiftly left before any of the two could stop her. She smiled at herself for leaving at the right timing. Had she stayed a bit longer, she might got into the way.

"Na-Eun!", Jisung yelled but he felt a tug on his wrist. He finally turned around, meeting with Hyunjin's angry gaze. Is he glaring at me?

"Why are you giving me that dirty look?", Jisung asked, feeling offended but still not brave enough to look into Hyunjin's eyes as he snapped his head away. "Why are you avoiding me?", Jisung shook his head, tugging his hand away from Hyunjin. "I'm not avoiding you! Do you think the world revolve around you or what?!" So full of himself. Jisung scoffed.

Hyunjin said nothing, instead he eyed the hoodie Jisung was wearing. Realising his gaze, Jisung became self conscious and started rubbing his shoulder. "If you don't have anything to say...I will leave now."

"You're wearing my hoodie", Jisung stopped on his track and looked down at what he was wearing. He cursed internally. He didn't realize he out this on because he wears it on daily basis. He forgot it belonged to Hyunjin. "I will return it later!"

"Why should you? Just keep it", Hyunjin didn't want to admit it, he liked seeing Jisung wearing his clothes. It made him thought that the bad tension between them wasn't that bad. Jisung hummed, not knowing how to respond back. He should be angry at Hyunjin but weirdly he felt warm all over. It wasn't s foreign feeling, it was like the first time they met and a couple of occasions that happened in the past. Maybe the heat was getting into him.

"Jisung...what did you want to talk abou-", Jisung yelled. He didn't want to face that right now. He didn't even know what to talk about with Hyunjin and he wasn't smart enough to come up with an excuse. "I have to go now"

Hyunjin held Jisung's shoulder. He didn't like the way Jisung was changing the topic every second. It was obvious Jisung was hiding something from him. "Tell me first. What did you want to talk about?"

More than nervous, Jisung was getting irritated. Did Hyunjin not know Jisung didn't want to talk about it? In the past if this ever happened, Hyunjin would just ignore the topic and try his best to cheer Jisung up. One thing lead to another, Jisung raised his hand to the air.

—pa!

"I hate you! That's what I wanted to say!", Hyunjin's face turned pale when Jisung said it. He didn't expect to hear it from Jisung. 

"And I don't need you anymore! I will return this hoodie to you but I have a plan today!", He looked around and saw Kevin walking out of the dorm with a basket in his hand. He ran towards Kevin as if he was going to attack him, wrapping his arm around Kevin's hand. Kevin flinched and starer at him bewildered. "What the hell, Jisung?"

Jisung eyed him, giving him a gaze wishing Kevin would understand the meaning behind his stare. He looked up and stared at Hyunjin before getting the idea. "Did you wait long, Ji?"

Hyunjin held his stinging cheek and stared at the two in disbelief. "Kevin is my new best friend! I don't need you!", Then he dragged Kevin away, leaving Hyunjin scoffing at them by himself.

When they were far enough from the dorm, he finally freed Kevin. He looked around to see if Hyunjin followed them or not.

Kevin cleared his throat. "What do you think you're doing?", Jisung flinched. His do he say that he just used Kevin to escape from Hyunjin? But that's the only way he wouldn't bother me anyway.

"If you're using me, shouldn't you at least pay me for it?", Jisung frowned. He pulled out the hoodie pocket. "I'm broke and didn't you say you're offering yourself as a substitute best friend?"

Kevin laughed, Jisung took that seriously? Kevin looked at his watch. "Hrm...fine then. I guess I'm your substitute best friend now?"

"Since you used me. Make sure to be free this afternoon. I need you to come with me somewhere," Kevin had been worrying about something and Jisung just happened to stumble upon him today. It was really like fate.

*

"I guess...just go with him then", Woojin said while scratching his head. Kevin and Jisung was a really weird combination. He knew Jisung and Hyunjin both hated him.

Jisung smiled and ran to Kevin who immediately flicked his head as if they were close. Jisung glared at him when he pointed at the figure standing at the entrance— Hyunjin.

The frown in his face changed into a bright smile. " Let's go!", He said, pulling Kevin out.

They walked passed by Hyunjin without sparing him a glance. Kevin enjoyed the view it irritation displayed on Hyunjin's face. It felt different from all his imagination of how a defeated Hyunjin looked like.

"So, where are you taking me to?", Kevin looked down. "Oh...I'm taking you to a blind date", Jisung nodded, a...blind date?!??

"Blind date?!?!", He pulled back, looking at Kevin with widened eyes. "Why are you taking me to a blind date?!"

Kevin rolled his eyes. ," Don't worry. I'm not matching you with someone or something. I just need a reason to reject her", Jisung tilted his head. Just what did Kevin meant by that?

"He's my boyfriend, so now we can stop meeting", Jisung didn't know how his relationship with Kevin had turned into this. Kevin brought him to a blind date set by his mother to reject all the girls and he became the fake boy friend.

"Now, make sure to be free every Wednesday", Kevin reminded Jisung. His mother kept setting a blind date for him and he was growing tired of it. Jisung really was a life saver. Jisung nodded.

"When is your game?", Jisung hummed, looking up. "Tell me when is your game. Don't Hyunjin always go to your game", Jisung bobbed his head. "Three days ahead". Kevin nodded, already clearing his schedule for the day.

Back then, it didn't come to Jisung that a rumour about them would be circling around the campus and reached Hyunjin.
