"Do you know if Jumin had other friends beside us?" Parker asked while Miracle was busy on her laptop.

Miracle stopped typing and looked at the wall across her. "Hm," she hummed. "Perhaps, I'm not sure though."

"Hm, so it could be someone else," Parker whispered and went deep in thought.

"One of us?" Miracle repeated.

Parker looked back up at her and waved her off. "It's something that Jumin told me, but it isn't that important," he replied.

"Tell me, tell me!" Miracle turned her chair to Parker, grinning smugly. "Is it something embarrassing?"

"He just said..." Parker lowered his head as he began playing with his shirt. "That he's demi but he won't tell me who he has a crush on. Which I find unfair," Parker mumbled.

"So he told you," Miracle muttered. "I bet that he thinks that Jumin likes me," she thought and laughed. "And what's up with that?"

"Like I said, nothing." Parker sighed and slumped in his seat. "But I don't know why I have this feeling in my chest."

"What kind?" She asked.

"I'm not sure what it is," Parker laughed, feeling a little embarrassed to talk about his feelings. "Every time I talk to Jumin these days, I remember that he likes someone and I feel my chest tighten for some reason. I didn't know who I could talk to about this except you. It'd be weird to tell my dad about it."

Miracle crossed her legs as she furrowed her eyebrows. "Have you considered that it could be jealousy?"

"What would I be jealous of?" Parker scoffed. "That he likes someone and I don't?"

"Or maybe because you like Jumin." Parker's expression of disbelief turned puzzled. "Am I wrong?"

"But it's not like I fall for guys though," Parker replied. "And why would I like Jumin?"

"You tell me. Like I'm supposed to know." Miracle shook her head. "And why should gender matter? If you someone, you like them. You can't do shit about it and you just have to live with it."

"But I'm not sure about that yet," he sighed. "I could be feeling like this for any stupid reason."

"Just think about it a little more, okay? Maybe you do like him," she said.

"But how am I supposed to find out if he likes me?"

"I don't know, make him jealous or some shit like that," Miracle replied. "But that's kinda cringe. You can always be straightforward, but I recommend you not to do that. Talking from personal experience."

"I'll think about it."

"Parker," Jumin whisperer softly. "Wake up. We've almost arrived."

Parker got his head off of Jumin's shoulder and covered his mouth to yawn. "How many minutes do we still have?"

"Three minutes or less," he replied.

"Finally," Parker groaned and rested his head on Jumin's shoulder again. "It was so nice to sleep on your shoulder like that. Just wake me up when the train stops."

Jumin flicked Parker's forehead. "Park, there isn't time to fall asleep now," Jumin sighed.

Parker rubbed his forehead and looked up at him. "I can't? It's still so early."
