Jaemin strides across the numerous rows of books lying in the library. His hand softly brushing against book spines, as his eyes search for the correct book.

"Aja! Found it," he pulls one scarlet book and quickly inspects the back. He reads the synopsis before frowning and pushing it back in. Not the book he was looking for.

His eyes dart around the room and he sees Jeno. The blond boy hunched over his notes, flipping through pages before annotating on his notebook. He wears a gray sweatshirt with his hood up, covering his tousled hair. The round glasses that rest on his nose slide down a little before they are pushed back.

Jaemin thinks it looks cute, but he quickly shakes the idea out of his head. The short message exchange that happened earlier has made him imagine things. He momentarily curses his soft spot for family oriented boys before walking towards Jeno and his table. He sits down in front of the boy, quietly resting his head on his hands. A pink bottom lip pushes out as he tries to catch Jeno's attention. It seems to work.

"W-what?" the boy looks around him, unsure if Jaemin is pouting at him.

"The book I thought could help us it's more about a different topic," Jaemin sighs before straightening on his chair. "I'm tired of doing homework now. Let's do something else."

"Like what?" Jaemin's only response is a widening grin. The boy grabs his backpack and starts shoveling all of his items in it before motioning Jeno to do the same. Said boy begins to do so, not without looking confused in the process. Jaemin then stands and grabs Jeno's wrist, pulling him across the library. They exit together and continue walking towards a coffee shop nearby.

Meanwhile Jeno's heart is trying to push out of his ribcage as his skin begins to feel the warmth of the other boy. The blood rushes to his cheeks and he silently prays the other doesn't notice.

They arrive at the coffee place and Jaemin motions Jeno to sit at an empty booth. "Drink is on me. What would you like?"

"Uh..." he considers rejecting the offer, but how can he say no to Jaemin's expecting brown eyes? "Strawberry Green Tea Lemonade please," he murmurs before lowering his gaze.

"Coming right up!" Jaemin happily skips towards the counter to order. Jeno watches as he pulls out a card from his wallet and hands it to the blushing girl at the register. He guesses no one can resist Jaemin's charm. And now that he thinks about it, is Jaemin straight? Well, he has been flirting with him on Instagram.

"Here you go," Jaemin returns and pushes Jeno's drink toward him. He takes a sip from his own drink before speaking again. "I've been dying to get a coffee since this morning." Jeno silently nods before taking a sip from his own drink.

"So is your house nearby?" Jeno nods.

"I live in the college dorms," Jaemin's mouth forms a small 'o'.

"That's cool. I live four blocks away in a small apartment. Depending on the mood I either walk or take my bike," Jeno process the information, slightly recalling a disheveled Jaemin arriving on a black and yellow bicycle. "What's it like living in the dorms?"

"Loud. Very loud," the boy stresses. "One of the kids down my hall always plays his stereo at 11:00 p.m. It's so annoying." Jaemin giggles.

"Have you tried asking them to stop?" There is a small glint on his brown orbs as he observes a now stressed blond shake his head.

"Donghyuck doesn't give two shits about my sleeping schedule."

"Donghyuck? You know his name?"

"He's actually my friend," a deep sigh is released before he slumps on his seat. Jaemin eyes widen in suprise. "I love him, but sometimes he's a little shit. He insists music helps reduce his stress and that I can resolve my sleep issue by buying some noise canceling headphones." Jamin takes a moment to process the information before bursting out in laughter. Jeno stares at him amusement clear on his face as the blue and blonde boy holds his stomach.

"Your friend," laugh. "Sounds," more laugh. "Hilarious," he finally allows air to fill his lungs and wipes a stray tear from the corner of his eyes. "Man, please tell me he's joining us for this Friday's hangout," the corner of Jeno's mouth twitches upwards and he straightens on his seat.

"Yeah, I invited him. I apologize in advance for any chaos. Or if we get kicked out of the movie theater. It has happened before," Jaemin shakes his head in disbelief. For a moment he wonders if Jeno's friends resemble him in a way. He's managed to slowly push out the shy and quiet little Jeno and he wonders what more is there to his personality. Then a buzz from his phone snaps him back to reality.

"Sorry, I gotta take this," he pulls out his phone before checking his new message. "Ah, I forgot I need to go pick up something at my friends house tonight," he finishes sipping the last of his coffee, before throwing his backpack over his shoulder. "Let's talk later, kay?" He winks at Jeno before storming out of the coffee place. Said boy remains seated gawking at the direction a certain blue-blond boy had exited. He gulps before picking up his phone.
