[college au where Seungcheol is utterly smitten with Yoon Jeonghan]

“He’s Yoon Jeonghan, and he’s a Microbiology major,” Joshua says. And then, carelessly, nonchalantly, “He says he’s met you.”

Seungcheol’s brain sizzles out of function for a full ten minutes. Joshua watches on, mirthful and knowing. When Seungcheol returns to earth, he fumbles for a reasonable conclusion.

“He’s a Microbiology major,” Seungcheol echoes weakly.

Joshua nods encouragingly, “Go on.”

“He’s really smart then,” Seungcheol says helplessly.

A few minutes pass, and Seungcheol’s still trying to think of Jeonghan decked out in a white lab coat, with dorky lab goggles and his hair neatly pulled into a ponytail. A high ponytail. With loose strands of hair framing his coy, charming smile. The image is too salacious, too titillating, too scandalous, and Seungcheol has to lie back down. 

Joshua stares at him the entire time. When it’s clear that Seungcheol can no longer contribute anything meaningful to the conversation, Joshua presses a palm to his forehead gingerly. “How did you get into college with those comprehension skills?”
