"This is still normal right?"

Youngjae asks while him and Bambam are watching their friend laughing and smiling on his own while he's staring outside the window as if there's something funny outside.

"Yugyeom?"

Bammie tried to call him but the other did not even shifted his attention to him even just for a bit as if he didn't hear him at all.

"Kim Yugyeom?"

Youngjae tried too but still, there's no response from their friend.

He's already been like that since morning. He steps inside the room looking so bright and all smiles. When they asked him what's the reason of his obviously good mood, he'll just give them a big smile that almost tears his lips and slightly shakes head while saying, 'nothing much!' then he'd be staring outside while smiling and giggling.

"Yah! Kim Yugyeom!"

Bammie said and slaps his friend's arm. Yugyeom immediately came back to reality because of that.

"Ah waeee?!"

He complained as he rubs his arm that had been slapped.

"You've been staring out of the window smiling like an idiot for the whole damn period! What the heck is wrong with you?"

Bammie asks.

Remembering the last night's event, Yugyeom couldn't help but smile and giggles on his own again.

"Yah! You're starting again! Come on tell us what's up?"

Youngjae demanded, being a little desperate to know what's making his friend like that.

"Nothing much seriously,"

Yugyeom answered still having that big wide smile.

"You've been saying that since last night!" Bambam said as he shifted his chair at the side so he could face and focus on his friend. "This has something to do with Jinyoung hyung am I right?"

He added.

Yugyeom seems to be in a whole great mood since last night. He keeps on chatting on their group chat, sending random things and stickers as if he's that excited and happy that you could honestly tell that something so good had happened to him and when they asked him what's up, he'll just say it's nothing and it goes on till this morning up to now. They were glad that he's happy but come on! Can't he just share something to them a little about it? They're all friends anyway?

"Don't just smile there! Tell us now!"

Youngjae said and slaps his arm again, now seriously impatient.

"Okay! Okay!"

Yugyeom defeatedly said as he rubs his arm that had been slap for the second time this day. He lets out a deep sigh before speaking.

"Well...I just...I just went to his apartment this morning so we could go to school together...then I just sort of...walk him to his campus and to his first subject earlier..."

He said trying so hard not to let out a squeal and a smile but he actually failed on the smile part because he couldn't honestly remove it on his lips right now. It was hard not to smile every time he gets to remember it.

Actually, just yesterday, while him and Jinyoung were doing that catalog stuffs they're also talking about a lot of things and haven't noticed that the catalogs were all done and that it was almost dinner time. Unexpectedly for the younger, Jinyoung sort of casually invited him for a dinner before going home. Though he knows it doesn't mean anything for the senior, he couldn't help but feel so happy with just eating there at the same table with the senior with just the two of them inside his apartment. Also, just this morning, he tried texting Jinyoung if he could go walk with him to school. Jinyoung didn't replied and just leave it as read. Yugyeom thought that it's a no, but he still tried to went to his apartment only to see the older standing just in front of his gate, looking a little impatient as if he's waiting for someone. Yugyeom immediately jogged his way to him and shyly greeted him a good morning. Jinyoung was just looking at him with his usual straight face as if he's already expecting to see him. He didn't say anything and just started walking ahead. They walked quietly beside each other to school. Yugyeom even walked him to his campus and to his first subject's room. Though, Jinyoung is quiet the whole time, Yugyeom wouldn't deny the fact that he feels so satisfied. He didn't want to assume things but he feels like they were finally being a little bit close with each other and for him, even not in a romantic way or just being friends it was still a good sign.

"Woah! Really? You've been progressing so fast my dear friend!"

Youngjae cheered, even clapping his hands in excitement.

"So you're officially courting him now huh?"

Bammie asks while wiggling his brows. Yugyeom chuckles slightly before answering.

"Why do you guys think so?"

"Well, he's already letting you do those things?"

Youngjae said.

"Yeah, if he's already letting you, then that's already an approval for courting, that's sort of entertaining a suitor,"

Bambam added and Yugyeom immediately blushed with the thought of it.

"Yah! What're you guys saying!" He said as he started scratching the back of his head, "That's not true. He aren't actually freely letting me to do those things, I'm just kind of insisting it all the time until he agrees, that doesn't mean anything for him."

He said feeling a little shameful for actually saying that, but it's true anyway. He still didn't want to consider that as an official act of courting because Jinyoung aren't giving him a direct approval yet. At least that's what he believes. He's just letting him because he keeps on insisting and Jinyoung is just probably letting him sometimes because he's his junior at school and his best friend's friend. He'll just consider it as official when Jinyoung finally approve it and said it himself, without the involvement of anything or anyone, which he actually thought he would never have since he already told him from the start that he won’t be holding him back for something.

"That's just the same thing!"

Youngjae said.

"No, it's not."

"What the heck Yugyeom? Are you actually waiting for him to say it? No one would go, 'Okay, you can court me now.' to their suitor! It's just a feeling you, idiot!"

Bammie scolded him.

"I know! But I haven't feel the direct approval yet and I don’t think I would have?"

He answered. Bammie lets out a deep sigh.

"Oh fine! Whatever!"

He said as he shifted his chair back to its original position when their next professor finally came in.

"But honestly speaking, gyeom? I think that's already a cue from him,"

Youngjae said at last before he stood up and goes back on his chair beside Bambam.

***************

"You're late."

"I know Mr. Park! No need to say it!"

Mark whisper yelled, trying to do his best not to get caught while slipping on his chair beside Jinyoung inside the audiovisual room.

"Why are you late?"

Jinyoung purposely asks in a much louder voice, attempting to tease his best friend. Some of their block mates shifted their attention at them while Mark cursed Jinyoung under his breath as he glares at him. Luckily, their professor seems to be already sleeping in front of his laptop so he didn't notice him at all.

"You'll freaking pay for this Park Jinyoung!"

Mark whispered beside his best friend when he finally settled down on his chair.

"Why are you late though?"

Jinyoung asks not even minding his best friend's threat.

"Jackson's having a bad day and he wouldn't let me go,"

Well I don't really want to go leave him during his bad day too. He thought.

"What happened?"

"He keeps on saying he ed up his performance earlier on stage when the only mistake he did was that he forgot a line at the script that didn't a
