At 9:32 a.m on a Monday morning, Hanbin realizes two things:

1) Taking Statistics with Dr. Oh has been Hanbin's worst college decision since he decided to embark on the Broke College Student Journey, he very much regrets signing up for it only because his best friend gave him the puppy eyes that has Hanbin doing anything that is asked of him, no questions asked.

2) He is a little infatuated with said best friend.

It is not the most romantic of places to figure out that he has more than platonic feelings for his best friend in his Stats class with Dr. Oh who looks like the typical creepy old man who stares a little too long at students without any reason being.

It is also not as earth shattering as he would have thought finding out that a few boners are gonna start popping out in random places because his best friend is really hot and Hanbin likes that a little too much.

If he's telling the truth, it takes a while for Hanbin to realize how deep his feelings run for his best friend. They're taking an exam, the scratchy sound of pencils scribbling paper, and the dread that sticks like humid air onto their skin is palpable throughout the entire room.

Hanbin has been stuck on question ten for the better part of fifteen minutes, eventually getting so bored with re-reading the same problem that his eyes start to wander around the room.

The girl in front of Hanbin is cheating. She's got her phone out between the space of her thighs and her finger sliding across the keyboard while her other hand taps on the surface of the table.

Hanbin moves his eyes over to a boy with long, greasy hair that has busied himself with picking his nose and flicking away the buggers towards another boy with a hat that hasn't been in fashion since 2015.

Bored from staring at his classmates, Hanbin switches his gaze to his best friend, Jiwon. And finds that he can't stop looking.

Which can come off a little creepy to the average stranger, but Hanbin is no stranger to Jiwon. He attempts to flicker his gaze back to his exam, but it's like Jiwon is a magnet and Hanbin keeps getting pulled into him.

It wasn't like Jiwon was looking any different than usual. Jiwon was hot – in that once upon a time Straight Best Friend way that used to exist for Hanbin.

He had a broader body than Hanbin, sinewy muscles, and a six pack he was always showing off at any given opportunity like some frat boy.

But Jiwon's choice of clothes wasn't that great which could be a little off putting for some people. Sometimes he dressed like he'd gotten all of his clothing from the trash pile at a local Walmart and wore his stuff inside out like it was the new fashion statement – which it wasn't.

Hanbin had never thought of it as cute until that Monday morning at 9:32 a.m. The hoodie pulled over his head had two holes where messy blonde strands peeked out and his wrists were wrapped in bright colored bracelets that Hanbin would usually see his younger sister wear – wack, because she was 12.

It was distracting, following the soft slope of Jiwon's nose and the striking curve of his jawline instead of working on his exam. Jiwon bit down on his pencil, brows furrowing as he blew his bangs away from his forehead exasperatedly.

His crooked teeth that Hanbin had always teased Jiwon about (and one time punched a guy in the face when he made fun of Jiwon) didn't change much in Hanbin's perspective except that now they just added to the infatuation he held for his best friend.

Jiwon glances up, must have felt Hanbin's obvious stare on him. He nods at Hanbin in question, mouths a what?

I think I like you in a very gay way which is against the rules of the Bro Code.
