Going to school wasn't much of problem for Kim Yugyeom before. In fact, he was always so eager to go to school and do his best, not because he wanted to topped the class, but because he wanted to be good enough with everything like his long time crush, Park Jinyoung. Just the mere thought of going to school, seeing and admiring that senior from afar is enough for him to be determined to woke up everyday and prepare himself for school...

But that was before...

Before he embarrassingly shouted his feelings for that hyung in a drunk game while having almost all of the university's population in there.

Honestly, he had been daydreaming a lot of the day that he'd finally confess to him. He imagined a very romantic scene with roses and candles. Where he would asked him to dance to a sweet song and will finally told him how much he likes him, but of course, it was just an imagination and even though he had been planning that in his mind for years, he knows for sure that he doesn't really have the guts to even stand right in front of him without looking so dumb and pathetic, and in just a snap, look who's hiding here at the tree near the university's gate because he embarrassingly shouted his three years of secret admiration for his senior at that party?

"Yugyeom?"

The said boy suddenly flinches on his spot the moment he heard someone from behind him, turning around, he saw Mark smiling at him.

"What're are you doing here?"

The older asked while Yugyeom starts scratching the back of his head.

"Uh...I'm just...not sure if I want to attend today's classes or not..."

He answered, not really sure of what he was saying. He lift up his head to look at his hyung when he heard him chuckling.

"Is it true?"

Mark asks, slightly confusing the kid in front of him.

"Hyung?"

"I mean, your thing for Jinyoung, the one you shouted so loud at the party last Friday? Is it true?"

Yugyeom's cheeks suddenly feels like heating with Mark's questions. He didn't know why do it feels so weird to hear it from someone else even though it was true anyway.

Yugyeom couldn't find his tongue to even answer his question, so he just nodded his head to confirm it, earning a giggle from the older.

"I knew it."

He said and ruffles the younger's head. Yugyeom looks up to him again with a surprised look as if asking him how did he know?

"It was kind of obvious to be honest, though you weren't that close with Jinyoung, everytime he's around or some of us would mention his name you kind of have that spark in your whole being or some s like that,"

"Was it really that obvious?!"

He asked, amazed by his own obliviousness. He suddenly thought that if it was that obvious then does the person in topic had noticed it already before he even did embarrassed himself?

Mark started to walk ahead of him while laughing. Yugyeom just hesitantly followed him.

"For me it was obvious, I don't know with other people,"

He answered, now having the younger walking beside him.

"D-Do you think, uh...J-Jinyoung hyung....he..."

"If do noticed already?"

Mark finishes the question himself, knowing how shy and hesitant his junior is.

Yugyeom just nodded his head.

"I'm not sure to be honest. You know how reserved Jinyoung is, it was very hard to read him sometimes, but I think he did notice it already."

Mark couldn't help but laugh again when he heard that loud gasp from the younger as if he just literally held his breath while waiting for his hyung's answer about it.

"So Jackson told me you've got some plans now huh?"

He asked while giggling, playfully nudging the younger on his side as they finally entered the university's gate.

Yugyeom just let out a hesitant laugh, suddenly losing all of his confidence about it.

"Okay, here's all I can give you as an advice,"

Mark started,

"I know you're still young, you're shy and sensitive, but I'm telling you, if you're afraid to be rejected, don't even try to get near with Park Jinyoung,"

He said, being a lot more serious than before.

Yugyeom couldn't help but swallowed the lump on his throat as he anticipated his hyung's advice.

"Jinyoung isn't an easy guy. He's seriously one of the hardest people to please, so if you have a weak heart you shouldn't even try to be involved with him,"

He added. He stops from walking for a while, making the younger stopping  in front of him too.

"Look, I'm not saying this to scare you or to make you feel like you have a bad pick on people, I am saying this because I want you to be ready for all the things you might've encountered with him, and besides Jinyoung isn't just all snarky and a moody bastard, I know that you know he had some soft sides, you wouldn't get to like him that much anyway if you didn't saw that right?"

He said and just chuckles at the end, making the younger laughing a little bit about it too.

"I got it hyung, and thank you that would be very helpful to me,"

Mark smiled at him like a proud dad as he lifted his hand to ruffles the younger's hair.

"And don't worry, we got your back, we will make sure that you'll get Jinyoung before our graduation this year,"

"Really?"

Yugyeom asked with pure excitement. Somehow, a bunch of determination suddenly crept up through him.

"Yeah, so you better do you best okay?"

"I will, hyung!"

"Alright, and speaking of that moody bastard, here he comes!"

Mark suddenly said, looking at the younger's back and waving to someone.

"Park Jinyoung!"

Yugyeom instantly felt frozen on his spot. His temperature is rising to its highest level as his heart starts throbbing painfully on his chest. His eyes was in big circles as he secretly muttered SOS to his hyung with his mouth.

Mark only gave him a wink as if telling him to just stay still.

When he said he'd do his best to please him, he meant later, later when he finally build up his confidence, not on this very spot and time where he was still planning everything. This will seriously gonna be the end of him.

'Oh screw my life! I think I was just purposely born to embarrassed myself!'

He thought as he heard those footsteps getting closer and closer.

"Good morning!"

"Morning."

The senior shortly greeted back.

And it was all enough to send Yugyeom on his own dig up grave.

His mind was in chaos right now trying to find the perfect version of Kim Yugyeom or any version of him aside from this embarrassing one.

"You seems in good mood today uh?"

Mark said trying to check the mood first before throwing his younger friend to the battlefield. He gave Yugyeom a meaningful look as if telling him to just act normal.

"It's because, I haven't get to meet those bastard yet."

Jinyoung answered. Just thinking of those disrespectful and airheaded students at the detention already makes his blood boils.

"Take it easy brother, you didn't want to scare my friend here,"

Mark said trying to hold in his laughter because Yugyeom just looks so pale right now. He suddenly hates himself from laughing.

"Anyway, remember him? He wanted to say, hi!"

The older said and finally make the younger turn around so they would be now both facing Jinyoung, and it was actually getting weird having one of them facing him with his back.

Yugyeom's pale face surprisingly turned a hot red the moment he faced his senior. His arms and legs became so stiff while his hands starts shaking beside him.

Jinyoung's face obviously turned a little annoyed as he finally noticed the younger. He wasn't really mad or anything and it's not as if he believed that or what? He just didn't like the way the younger shouted it almost to everyone, because the least thing that Jinyoung wanted right now is to be linked to someone. He already have a lot of issues circulating around him inside this University, he didn't need and want a new one, but this kid here just topped all of those issues with a fresh one. Great.

"He's your boyfriend's closest friend, almost always with him and the others how wouldn't I remember him?"

He plainly answered, sending chills to the younger's whole body.

To say that Yugyeom is nervous is an understatement. He was freaking dying right now! He wasn't that oblivious though, watching this senior from afar for three years kind of made him memorize those intended expressions, that look that Jinyoung had the moment he started facing him was a sign that he isn't that glad to see him right now and Yugyeom do knows why.

'I ed up real bad.'

He thought.

"Well, in case you already forgotten, his name is, Kim Yugyeom, junior at journalism, 20 years old and you do know what's up with him right?"

Mark said while patting the younger's shoulder while Yugyeom tried to stop him from saying that by secretly muttering 'hyung~'

He didn't honestly know whether to be thankful or not about this.

Jinyoung is just having his normal straight face as if telling them 'whatever.'

Yugyeom quickly avoided his senior's eyes the moment he starts looking at him with that straight face. One thing that Yugyeom kind of didn't like about him is that expression, that straight face he was always pulling out was the hardest to ever read.

"You should get used on seeing and having him near you—I mean us, now. This boy's been aiming for something and someone should at least, give him a chance because he's totally whipped!"

"Hyung!"

This time Yugyeom couldn't help but let out whine. That was just the most embarrassing thing that this hyung could ever blurt out about him. He's whipped for Park Jinyoung, but heck! Why blurt it out to in front of the senior's face just like that?

Mark just starts laughing as for seeing Yugyeom's never ending embarrassment.

"So funny, but I'm sure that someone isn't interested at all."

Jinyoung sarcastically said and finally made his way passed them and into his major's campus, obviously getting on his moody side again.
