Jungwoo quite frankly wanted to gouge his eyes out with the mechanical pencil in his back pocket when he walked into the only class he'd ever hated this much. STATS 280: Honors Introduction to Statistics & Data Analysis, even the white board in front of him was screaming about the dreaded subject. It was only his second week in his class, but he didn't understand a single thing.

"Good morning my lovely students, we have a lot to get through today, but I do have a surprise!" Their professor said as she walked into the room exactly when class started. She was an incredibly stunning woman, who had every gender swooning over her. If Jungwoo didn't hate what she taught so much, he probably would've too.

"Ms. Sunmi, please tell me the surprise isn't another graph."

Sunmi let out a small laugh before flashing a gorgeous smile, "I can assure you it isn't another graph."

She spent the first half hour of class droning on about the fifth chapter in the book. Even though she over explained almost everything, it all went over Jungwoo's head, he was utterly lost. It was almost as if she was speaking in a foreign language he had never heard before.

"Ok, enough of that. The surprise is...group projects! You'll be in groups of four and I want you to put together a visual of what you learned in chapters six through eight—which we haven't gone over," She paused and put a document on the screen that had the students grouped together in their groups, "You still have about...twenty minutes so I recommend meeting with your and coming up with a plan. Oh! These are due on Friday!"

Jungwoo glanced up at the screen and saw his name under group three along with Soojin, Doyoung, and Dokyeom. Out of those three he only knew Doyoung, but it was a big relief he knew anybody at all.

Walking over to the man in question, Jungwoo had to stifle a laugh when he saw Doyoung asleep on his desk. He gently tapped the elders shoulder, which caused him to jolt awake.

He quickly sat up and wiped the drool off of his chin, "Oh hi Jungwoo..."

"We're in a group together." Jungwoo said as he gestured to the screen at the front of the room.

The group had barely gotten through reading the first chapter before class was over. Soojin had her next class in less than a half hour so they couldn't stay any longer. After going through all of their schedules, they decided to meet tomorrow and Thursday morning at the cafe on campus.

A small pout formed on Jungwoo's face when he realized it was Monday so Lucas was in class right now. Although reluctant, he left the classroom and headed to his own dorm.

Just as he got out of the building, somebody came up behind him and tapped his shoulder. He turned around to see Dokyeom standing next to him. "Oh hey, do you need something?"

"I was wondering if I could take you out on a date this weekend." The man stated more than asked.

"I'm sorry, but I have a boyfriend," Jungwoo replied politely.

Reaching out a hand, Dokyeom roughly grabbed the younger's arm when the boy went to walk away, "He doesn't have to k—"

"Jungwoo hyung!" Haechan yelled excitedly as he dragged a very unhappy looking Mark behind him. "We were just about to go to Ten and Johnny's, you should come," He turned towards Dokyeom and eyed him judgmentally, "Who's this?"

"We're in a group together for Stats," Jungwoo said harshly before yanking his arm away from the man. "I'd love to come with you guys."

✨✨✨

"Have you seen J—"

"He's right there," Ten said flatly as he gestured to Jungwoo, who had fell asleep on the floor.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Lucas visibly relaxed at the sight of his boyfriend. He had spent the last twenty minutes trying to find the boy since he wasn't answering his phone.

"You should probably wake him up or he'll be up all night." Johnny interjected.

An evil sounding laugh slipped out of Ten, "Good luck with that—the last time I woke him up he screamed at me for like an hour about why sleep is important."

"Then didn't go back to sleep at all that night." Johnny grumbled as he recalled the sleepover Jungwoo and Ten had a few months ago.

"I—I'll be fine..." Lucas's voice was shaky with uncertainty. He wasn't that nervous before, but after hearing how he reacted to his best friend...

It took a few seconds to work up the courage until Lucas sat down on the floor next to his boyfriend. His hands were trembling slightly as he reached out towards the elder. Pausing, Lucas's hands hovered over the others body while he thought about what to do.

He decided on gently grabbing the boys hand and pulling him up into a sitting position. The boys eyebrows furrowed as he let out a small whine, his body resting against Lucas's.

"Hi baby..." The younger boy whispered, rubbing his hand up and down Jungwoo's back.

"Why are you...here?" He muttered before trying to push himself out of Lucas's arms.

A small pout formed on his face, "You fell asleep here and I couldn't find you. I don't want you to sleep for too long, angel."

Jungwoo aggressively slammed his head back down on Lucas's shoulder, "Wanna go back to sleep..."

"Can we go back to my dorm so you can go back to sleep there?"

"Yes please..." Jungwoo mumbled before he stood up. He turned around and waved to Ten and Johnny, "Bye love you~"
