“So,” Wonshik started when Hakyeon pulled the chair out at their table the next day.

“How was your date with Jujutsu?”

“It wasn’t a date!”

“It was totally a date.”

Hakyeon rolled his eyes.

“First of all, stop calling it a date. Secondly, his name is Taekwoon!” Hakyeon’s voice had risen and it caught the attention of the table next to theirs. Wonshik laughed as he watched Hakyeon sputter out apologies to the other patrons.

“I think you should ask him out then. Go on a real date.” Wonshik suggested as he stirred his coffee. They were at a café not far from campus, just a short walk away from the shopping district.

“You know I’ve thought of that. It’s not that simple.” Hakyeon sighed as he put his head in his arms on the table.

Wonshik sipped at his coffee.

“It isn’t that simple. But this is you we’re talking about. You’re the most outgoing, obnoxiously social person I’ve ever met. It’s unlike you to freeze up when an opportunity arises.”

Hakyeon just groaned.

“I don’t know what your deal is, man. You can do it. I believe in you.” Wonshik’s words were encouraging but the sarcasm was real. Hakyeon lifted his head and eyed him.

“Nice enthusiasm there, buddy. He probably already thinks I’m annoying. He’d say no before I even had the chance to properly ask.”

“I mean you are annoying.” Wonshik supplied.

Hakyeon buried his face again.

“I’ll kill you if you ever tell anyone I said this but you’re a great guy. Aside from being loud and overly excitable, you’re sweet and you care a lot about the people you hold dear. If he can’t see that then he’s not worth your time.” He sipped at his coffee again.

When Hakyeon looked up he had a huge smile plastered across his face.

“I always knew you cared.” Hakyeon said as he rested his chin on one hand.

“I don’t have the faintest idea of what you’re talking about.” Wonshik eyed him. Hakyeon’s smiled grew wider.

“You need to find you someone too, you know. You waste all that kindness on the wrong people.”

“You mean like you?”

Hakyeon kicked him under the table.

“No, you creep. Like that guy you were talking to last semester. What was his name? Taekook? Taemoon?”

Wonshik stared at him, his gaze having grown cold.

“You know his name is Taemin and I’d rather not talk about that.”

“Suit yourself. Stay alone forever. Watch me marry Taekwoon while you suffer in jealousy.” Hakyeon said as he began packing up his bag.

“I do waste my kindness on you, you filthy marmoset.”

“I am not a marsupial!” Hakyeon exclaimed, feigning offense.

“Neither are marmosets!” Wonshik countered.

Hakyeon huffed as he stood and began making his way towards the door, Wonshik right behind him. They waved to the employee behind the counter as they left.

“I’m going to stop by later with the video I made in practice yesterday. I want you to tell me if I captured the feeling of your song.”

“Whatever you want. Just text me. I think I’m going to try to sleep for a while.”

“Still not recovered from your hangover?” Hakyeon laughed.

“No. No, I’m not. And I hold you accountable.”

Hakyeon rolled his eyes but pulled Wonshik in for a hug before they parted.

“I’ll text you then.” Hakyeon called as he spun around and headed in the opposite direction.

Wonshik waved after him and made to turn in his own direction back towards the school but was met with an elbow to the face.

“Ah, ! Sorry. I’m in a hurry. I’m really sorry.” Wonshik heard as he clutched at his mouth.

“What the hell?” he yelled as he looked up. But all he saw was the back of a man running down the sidewalk, pushing people out of his way as he went.

Wonshik pulled his hand away from his mouth and saw blood on the tips of his fingers.

“Fan-ing-tastic!” He hollered, not caring that he was attracting the attention of those walking down the sidewalk.

He needed that nap.
