"So..."

Everyone's attention shifted on Jinyoung's phone when it suddenly dinged in the middle of their meeting and to their surprise, their president has actually check it out this time. Which is so unusual because he normally ignores everything when he's conducting a meeting, heck he's even putting it away sometimes just for him not to be bothered.

From: Kim Yugyeom

You done, hyung? I'm outside the office.

"Yeah so...as I was saying..." Jinyoung continues after reading the text, he puts it back down again as he shifted his attention on the people around him, "We need a more relevant evaluation sheets for the seminars next week, I've check it out earlier and the objectives aren't that clear, so do make some modifications about that. Also, the two other seminars aren't that being promoted so well unlike the first one, we need more creative posters and adds in social medias and bulletin boards to encourage the students to attend it,"

"Then are we going to modify the posters too or not?"

"We will."

"And what about the guest speakers? Should we—"

"Uh, okay. Let's talk about the guest speakers and other stuffs tomorrow,"

The officers inside suddenly throw him a confused look after saying that. What does their president mean by tomorrow? Normally, Jinyoung wouldn't let them out without everything being tackled and answered? Is he procrastinating his duties? This is seriously getting so strange now, they thought.

"Meeting dismissed."

Jinyoung said and immediately stands up, going back to his table to tidy it up and prepare his bag and he seems like he was in a hurry, while his officers were still sitting there in circles, looking so confused and are just watching him being like that.

"Bye."

Jinyoung said when he tidied everything up and finally walks out of the door.

The officers inside starts exchanging some looks with each other and seconds later they start laughing, not really sure if that was really their president or he had been abducted by aliens or what?

"Did he actually told us bye while smiling?"

One of them said.

", yes!"

"That's not our president believe me!"

They said in disbelief. Jinyoung had never actually been like that before. He would just usually make his way out not even bothering to say bye to anyone and seeing him being like that earlier as if he was in such a good mood was a major puzzle for all of them.

While his officers were literally confusing about him inside. Jinyoung keep his cool once he got out of the office, he saw the younger leaning against the corridor railings while patiently waiting for him.

Jinyoung cleared his throat to get his attention, walking a little nearer to him.

Yugyeom finally lifted his head up to look at him and a smile immediately appears on his lips once he saw his hyung. He pulled himself up from leaning against the railings as he walks in front of him.

"You done with your meeting hyung?"

He asks, getting the folders in Jinyoung's arms while the older only lets him as they started walking, almost getting used to it.

"Yeah."

He shortly answered. Yugyeom only nodded his head as they both made their way outside the campus.

Jinyoung didn't know when does he started feeling this comfortable with him, but he wouldn't deny the fact that he likes it like this than before. Somehow he started to really consider him as a close friend. Not just someone who keeps on following him or someone who keeps on pissing him off and he really feels sorry for that. Especially now that he feels like he was finally getting to know him more, that he was indeed, not just a kid or someone who would just go around telling him that he likes him for fun or stuffs. But even though he was almost that fond of him now, Jinyoung still didn't want to think about the younger's feelings for him any deeper. He still didn't want to talk about it or engrossed himself about it and as much as he can, he avoids just thinking about it because it seriously makes him so nervous and paranoid. Jinyoung had never yet encountered someone like him before, someone who would be that patient to get along with him and his nasty attitude and so it really makes him scared. He knows that he can still get worse than he is right now, and he didn't know how much the younger can still take about him, so he just thought that maybe, he should just really go with flow and not take it too seriously yet. There are a lot more things that can happen and sooner or later the younger would finally realize it himself if he really likes him or not despite his rusty parts.

"I should've brought an umbrella with me?"

Jinyoung snap out of his thoughts when he heard the younger speaking. Seeing he was looking up at the sky, Jinyoung then notice that would be raining any minute.

"Oh !"

Yugyeom cussed when the rain started pouring down on them, grabbing Jinyoung's wrist as he started pulling him somewhere where they can at least stay at while the rain is still pouring down heavily.

"Oh my, I'm sorry hyung! Your folders..."

Yugyeom said in panic as he tries to survived the papers inside.

Jinyoung couldn't help but smile as he watches him being that nervous about it.

"Don't mind it, that wasn’t signed yet and I still have a copy of that on my flash drive."

He said and Yugyeom finally lets out a relieved sigh. Chuckling on how is he so paranoid too.

They stayed quiet for a while under that bus stop shed while waiting for the rain to go off. Jinyoung was just standing there beside him staring at the street while Yugyeom was staring at him as if he was some kind of an art.

Jinyoung felt the younger's eyes on him and so he shifted his head to look at him, but he quickly averted his eyes somewhere when Yugyeom was indeed staring at him. He waited for another seconds before trying to glance up at him again but Yugyeom is still looking at him and this time, they couldn't help but smile. Yugyeom started scratching the back of his head as he suddenly feels shy, while Jinyoung was just biting his lips preventing himself from smiling even more.

'Damn Park Jinyoung, are you nuts?!'

The senior thought.

"Should we go now, hyung?"

Yugyeom asks when the rain finally stops. Jinyoung only nodded his head as they both started walking again.

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

Yugyeom sits awkwardly at Jinyoung's small sofa as he was drying his hair with a towel. His uniform was slightly soaked; they had been running in the rain earlier just to get here at the older's apartment. The rain just didn't seem to stop and it looks like there would be a typhoon coming because of the heavy storm and constant growling of thunders.

Jinyoung came out of his small kitchen as he handed him a cup of hot coffee, which the younger just willingly accepts with a shy smile. Jinyoung sits at the floor as he turns on his television to seek for some updates about the current weather.

"We should have really brought an umbrella earlier,"

Yugyeom said when the weather forecaster announced that there was indeed a typhoon coming and everyone is being advised to just stay indoors to avoid getting some colds and other serious illnesses.

Jinyoung finally turns it off and just proceeded to get his laptop at his side, he opens it and started doing his stuffs while Yugyeom was just there sitting at the sofa, not really sure what to do.

He stares at the senior at the floor who looks so serious right now as he keeps on typing and clicking things on his laptop.

Yugyeom couldn't help but smile a bit as he stares at him. He would be lying if he says that he didn't like what was happening right now or even these past few days. Yes, he had been in so much troubles these past few days, he got into a fight and he got beaten up, but Yugyeom wouldn't even dare to regret any of that and in fact, he thinks that it had been a great part of what they are right now. Not that Yugyeom is saying that they have finally something special between them, like what he always keeps on thinking, he didn't want to assume things, and when he says that he likes what they are now compare to before, he means, he likes being a little closer to him now. It was as if he wasn't just a junior for the older anymore and to be honest, he felt really glad that Jinyoung is at least considering him now as a friend. Yugyeom wouldn't demand something further than that if the older didn't want something deeper than that. He respects him and just being friends with him is more than enough for him, but of course, he still have the feelings. It was hard to just get over it when he had been dealing with it for the past three years, he just keeps on telling himself not to make that feelings a hindrance in their friendship. If Jinyoung do really just wants to be friends with him then he'll do it. He'll do it with his closeted feelings.

Yugyeom lets out a sigh as he roams his eyes around the older's apartment. It still looks the same since the last time that he visited it. Organized and clean.

He lets out a yawn when sleepiness and tiredness suddenly envelopes him. He looks up at the clock hanging on the wall and seeing it was already 11:45 PM, Yugyeom suddenly felt anxious on his seat. He took out his phone on his bag as he tried calling his mom. Wondering if she could go drive him home since the rain didn't even seem to stop tonight and it says on the news that there would be a strong wind with it so he really needs a ride. Also, even though he really wants to stay here throughout the night, he was scared that the older wouldn't feel comfortable with it. And who is he anyway to suggest himself to stay here over the night?
