one.

"i just got on the train," chanhee announced, holding his phone between his head and his shoulder as he was talking to his friend younghoon and both his hands were occupied. he was trying to get a ticket and hold his jacket without it slipping off his arm. "it's not packed but i obviously still would've preferred  if my car never broke."

as he took his ticket he looked around and found a place to sit where there weren't too many people around.

he could finally take his phone in his hand and talk normally but while he was heading to the seat, he didn't notice the person who had just gotten on the train and slightly bumped into him. he stepped back and put his phone aside for a moment, looking at the red haired boy he had bumped into. "i'm so sorry," he quickly apologized.

the other only lifted his hand up slightly, reassuring that it was alright. before even giving him a chance to say anything, chanhee brought his phone close to his ear again and proceeded to talk with younghoon, sitting at the spot he had chosen.

"couldn't you just pick me up with your car, you don't even live that far away. it's not fair, i really don't like public transport and bumping into random people," chanhee just kept on whining until he ended up being called a spoiled brat by his own friend and being told that he wasn't going to die from breathing the same air as a few other people on the train.

he rolled his eyes and huffed, bringing his free hand up to fix his bangs slightly. "okay, fine, i'll see you on campus. drive carefully."

almost as soon as he hung up, chanhee took his headphones out of his bag and connected them to his phone. he then listened to music while looking out of the window until the end of the train ride.

he let out a quiet sigh of relief around twenty minutes later when it was finally time to get off. on his way to the faculty he met with another one of his friends, kevin, who would always bother him to do different club activities with him and this time was probably no exception.

"hey," chanhee greeted with a smile and walked over to kevin.

"oh hey," kevin smiled back at the pink haired boy. "did you just arrive? i didn't see your car."

chanhee's smile suddenly became awkward. "my car is at repair, i came here with the train because younghoon didn't want to drive me here."

"well, maybe he's too busy driving his new boyfriend around." kevin put his hands in his pockets and the two boys started walking towards the entrance gates.

chanhee looked at kevin and raised his eyebrow up at him. "younghoon having a boyfriend?" kevin nodded in response. "are you sure you've checked your facts? i think that if my best friend had a boyfriend i'd probably know about it."

the other boy shrugged and just continued walking, leaving chanhee to frown and have more and more questions. but those were things that he had to ask younghoon about. it wasn't kevin's business to know details about this even though he apparently already knew much more than him.

"are you coming to the drama club today?" kevin asked as they reached the entrance.

"what?" the pink haired boy snapped out of his thoughts and looked at kevin again. "oh... uh. no, i don't think i'm going to have time. i have a meeting with the student council and i don't know how long it would take."

the other tilted his head back and groaned in frustration. "can't you just skip for once? you barely ever join us anymore."

"i'm sorry, i promise i will come tomorrow." chanhee patted kevin on the shoulder and gave him a slight apologetic smile before the two boys went in different directions, heading to their lectures.

chanhee stopped by the vending machine to buy himself a bottle of cola while his thoughts were still occupied by what kevin had just told him. was he supposed to believe that so easily or was younghoon really hiding from him?

he shook his head and took the bottle, turning to head to his classroom and proceeding to once again bump into someone. and it somehow was the same red haired boy he had seen on the train, he recognized him almost immediately.

it was so embarrassing. today wasn't his lucky day.

"oh my god, i bumped into you on the train too right? i'm really so sorry for being so distracted." his eyebrows curled upwards as his lips curved into a slight pout. "if i can make up for it, tell me."

once again the other wasn't saying anything at all even though now he was given the chance to speak. yet he was just looking at chanhee and only shook his head, putting his hands up. he couldn't really say anything but at least it was obvious enough what he was trying to tell chanhee with his gestures. or at least he hoped it was obvious.

"okay then, if you're sure about it." chanhee smiled at the guy and looked at his phone to check the time, realizing that he had to go. "i'm gonna be late for class, bye," he waved at the red head before shoving the bottle of cola in his bag and running off.

luckily, he managed to reach the classroom on time and sat at the back row next to the window where he usually sat unless someone else had taken his place.

he let out a sigh and rested his head on top of the table, closing his eyes and breathing heavily. he wasn't the best at sports and he wasn't athletic at all. he didn't even do exercises of any sort. therefore now he was out of breath just because he was running to the classroom and climbed a flight of stairs really fast to get there.

but he didn't even care about being on time all that much. he just felt too awkward being around the red haired boy and wanted to go somewhere else as soon as possible even though today was the first time he saw him.
