This chapter will still be in Junhui’s POV to make up for the previous one since it was really short. Also, it’s in all text form since the next chapter won’t have a lot (since they’ll be together, yay!) I'm also uploading this fairly quickly considering my usual upload pace since I figured it was only fair. Lotsa love to everybody who commented on the previous chapter!!! ♡

Bold is Junhui, Italics is Minghao!

[August 1, Monday]

(9:57AM) Minghao?

(9:57AM) Are you in class?

(10:10AM) If you’re not replying then that’s a yes, right?

(10:32AM) I never thought I’d be glad to get no replies from you.

(11:03AM) Please never text during class hours.

(11:32AM) I thought you liked talking to me.

(11:32AM) I do!!!

(11:32AM) I just had a bad dream.

(11:33AM) That involved me replying during class?

(11:33AM) Is this some kind of smart person joke I don’t understand?

(11:33AM) You’re not even in your own class right now.

(11:34AM) I won’t give you the specifics.

(11:34AM) It might actually happen.

(11:35AM) Let’s just say I’m glad you don’t reply during your class hours.

(11:35AM) I won’t even ask.

(11:36AM) So you really did sleep instead of heading to class?

(11:37AM) Yeah, but I think I was punished for it with the bad dream.

(11:37AM) Was it that bad?

(11:37AM) Yes. Absolutely.

(11:38AM) So I’ve decided to stay awake and make another cup of tea.

(11:38AM) That’s unhealthy.

(11:38AM) Maybe you got a nightmare from all the tea you drank.

(11:40AM) I should be fine as long as I don’t sleep, right?

(11:40AM) I can’t get bad dreams if I don’t sleep at all!

(11:41AM) This is the opposite of what I wanted.

(11:41AM) I’ll be fine, Minghao.

(11:41AM) I’m an engineering major, this isn’t the first time I haven’t slept.

(11:41AM) That makes it worse.

(11:43AM) So you’re going to school instead?

(11:44AM) Well, I don’t really have any classes left today.

(11:44AM) You can totally go back to sleep then.

(11:44AM) You love sleeping any other day.

(11:45AM) Maybe once I get over my bad dream.

(11:46AM) Whatever you say.

(11:46AM) Sleep earlier tonight, at least?

(11:47AM) I will! I’m excited for tomorrow, after all.

(11:47AM) Are you excited, darling?

(11:47AM) Maybe.

(11:48AM) It’s not a no!

(11:48AM) It’s not a yes, either.

(11:48AM) As always, I’ll take what I can get.

(11:51AM) Hey.

(11:51AM) It’s nothing against you, I’m just nervous.

(11:52AM) After all this time?
(11:52AM) Always.

(11:52AM) Nice reference.

(11:53AM) I’m pleasantly surprised you got it.

(11:53AM) Ten points to Junhui?

(11:54AM) Depends. What’s your Hogwarts house?

(11:54AM) I have a strong feeling that if I reply with something different from your house, I’m not going to get those ten points.

(11:55AM) Are you as competitive with this as you are with our actual schools?

(11:57AM) Absolutely. Even more so.

(11:57AM) You’re a scary boy, Minghao.

(11:57AM) Let’s save this topic for another day.

(11:58AM) If you say so.

(11:58AM) Are you going to have a proper meal, at least?

(11:59AM) I might drop by Chickie’s for some wings.

(11:59AM) Anything healthier?

(11:59AM) Not without Seungcheol around.

(12:01PM) Fine, fine.

(12:02PM) You know…

(12:02PM) Am I supposed to ask what again before you continue?

(12:03PM) Really?

(12:05PM) What?

(12:05PM) I like it when you tell me to eat and stuff.

(12:06PM) Because I’m not telling you to starve?

(12:06PM) I’m a nice person when I want to be.

(12:06PM) It’s not just that.

(12:07PM) It makes me feel how much you care for me.

(12:07PM) I care for all my friends.

(12:07PM) Are we friends now, Minghao?

(12:07PM) Bit too late to be asking that after asking me to be your boyfriend, don’t you think?

(12:08PM) Okay.

(12:08PM) That caught me off-guard.

(12:08PM) But you have a very good point.

(12:09PM) Next thing I know you’re going to ask me again even if it hasn’t been two weeks yet.

(12:09PM) Trust me, Minghao, I’ve learned to be very patient.

(12:11PM) Really? That’s a surprise.

(12:11PM) I am absolutely patient. You don’t have to answer today.

(12:11PM) I wasn’t planning to answer today, but okay.

(12:12PM) Patience is a virtue.

(12:12PM) You sound like a different person.

(12:12PM) I am a changed man, Minghao.

(12:13PM) Are you having lunch?

(12:14PM) I was supposed to meet up with Hansol, but he’s not replying to me.

(12:14PM) I think he’s not in school today.

(12:14PM) Again.

(12:15PM) Eat with Soonyoung?

(12:15PM) With exams coming in, he has less free time than everyone else.

(12:15PM) If I were there, I’d eat lunch with you!

(12:16PM) Thanks, too bad you’re in Carat Science University.

(12:16PM) Hey, Minghao?

(12:16PM) Yes?

(12:17PM) Can I ask something completely random?

(12:17PM) That has nothing to do with my bad dream at all?

(12:17PM) You’re really bad at being subtle.

(12:17PM) But okay, go ahead.

(12:18PM) So you know how I’m in Carat, right? Your rival school?

(12:18PM) I’m pretty sure I’ve made my feelings about that clear.

(12:18PM) You wouldn’t, like, hypothetically…

(12:19PM) Reject me because I’m from a
