Mingi was bored. It was Friday, his professor didn't show up for class and he woke up late anyway, so he didn't bother standing up from his bed, or go out of his room for that matter. He probably should get up and get some coffee. But that means going out of the dorm he shared with his 8 friends and going to that coffee shop 10 minutes from there.

He took his phone, opened Instagram and started to scroll down. After a few minutes of scrolling, a familiar user caught his eye.

Y/N, a college student at his university and a part-time at his local coffee shop

Y/N, a college student at his university and a part-time at his local coffee shop. Mingi usually see her at his college library every Tuesdays and Fridays. The other days, she spends it at the coffee shop. He may or may not have caught a slight crush on her, otherwise he wouldn't know her favorite hangouts or how she loves the smell of coffee and old books. But it's just a small crush, isn't it? Mingi thought to himself.

Mingi tapped around and started to scroll down her profile. She's really cute, I hope I could talk to her one day. What's her schedule anyway? Will she be at the coffee shop today? Should I go and waste some time there? He asked no one in particular. He didn't even know how many minutes passed as he tried to conceal his smile. He passed a picture of her and her cat and started giggling to himself, She's cute! My heart! He tried to calm down and continue to scroll but as if by reflex his fingers tapped twice. His breath hitched as he stood up and looked at his phone wide-eyed.

Then he started screaming.

Hongjoong was enjoying his music when Mingi burst in his room

Hongjoong was enjoying his music when Mingi burst in his room. "Hyung what do I do?! Oh my god I fucked up!" Mingi screamed. "Mingi, calm down." He said trying to soothe his friend. Mingi jumped on his bed and screamed at his pillow, "What happened?" Hongjoong asked. "He did something stupid." A voice said and Hongjoong looked at the person entering his room while crossing his arms. "That's not nice Yeo." He chuckled as his other friends came in running while laughing. "MINGI LIKED Y/N'S POST FROM 5 YEARS AGO!!!" Wooyoung exclaimed as he continued to laugh. "Ahh yes, the consequences due to the obligatory stalking of your crush's IG." Yeosang said.

"WHAT DO I DO?!" Mingi groaned and started to pull on his hair. Now all of his friends are laughing at him. Mingi is still recovering from his mental breakdown when Hongjoong cooed at him, "I don't know...Maybe...not stalk her IG and just talk to her personally?" his gummy smile showing as he fought the urge to laugh again. "HOW CAN HE TALK TO HER PERSONALLY? HE COULDN'T EVEN SAY HI WITHOUT RUNNING AWAY FROM HER." Wooyoung suddenly shouts. Mingi's head suddenly snaps up to look at them, wide-eyed. "What? Me? Talk? To her? In person? Like, face to face?!"

"No Mingi, why don't you collect cans and tie them by a thread and make a make-shift telephone." Yeosang groaned as the others laugh at him. It was sarcasm. A joke. All of them knew that.

Except for Mingi.
