seokmin: is that all?

mingyu: what do u mean IS THAT ALL can u not notice im freaking out

seokmin: dude youve chosen the right person

seokmin: i will forget that i was hurt about the fact that i was your last choice and just help you with your big gay problem

mingyu: REALLY

mingyu: HOW????????????????????

seokmin: trust me 😉

mingyu: that wink emoji isn’t trustable at all

Seokmin laughs, amused at Mingyu’s “big gay problem”, as he likes to call it. Seokmin wasn’t lying, he actually have an idea on how to help his troubled friend. And that is, adding Soonyoung to the chat. Soonyoung is a very close of friend of Seokmin, who also happens to be one of Wonwoo’s bestest friends. He figures that adding Soonyoung could help Mingyu, knowing that the former has a lot of information about Wonwoo’s likes and dislikes. Seokmin pats himself on the shoulder and grins, feeling proud of his very own brilliant idea.

So, he adds Soonyoung.

seokmin started a chat with mingyu, soonyoung, junhui, and wonwoo (10:40 PM)

seokmin: there my friend, i have done my part

seokmin: i added soonyoung so he could give you information about wonwoo

seokmin: and then you can finally “step up your game”

junhui: step up his what??? :ooooo

wonwoo: why would you need information about me? is this something i should be worried about?

seokmin: holy shit i fucked up why are you both here

seokmin: fine i choose junhui

seokmin: im so sorry mingyu i cant risk junhui telling IT

mingyu: BUT YOU CAN RISK MINE??????????

wonwoo: why do you type like that, mingyu?

mingyu: oh

mingyu: just a habit, i guess?

seokmin: did you just use comma? kim mingyu typed properly for once?

junhui: lol mingyu i can sense how flustered u are :))))

wonwoo: why is mingyu flustered?

soonyoung: why are you so dense?

wonwoo: again, how am i dense? i am so perplexed

soonyoung: you are a what

soonyoung: a PRETZEL???

junhui: oh god soonyoung ur so dumb -_-

soonyoung: why? do you know what perplexed means, genius???

junhui: no but at least i know it isn’t the same as pretzel

wonwoo: I don’t think that makes you any smarter, junhui.

junhui: whatever u say :*

junhui: anyway all of u are so boring so im gonna add more people

mingyu: YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE THE AUTHORITY ON THIS GROUP CHAT!!!!!!!

junhui: oh

junhui: but i have the authority on seokmin 😉

junhui: isn’t that right, seokmin?

seokmin: …yes

junhui: great! now add the most beautiful boy first

soonyoung: lee taemin?

seokmin: kwon jiyong?

mingyu: he’s already here…

wonwoo: really mingyu? who do you consider the most beautiful boy in this group chat?

junhui: shut the fuck up densie boy

junhui: anyways uncultured swines

junhui: the most beautiful boy is of course, my boyfriend xu minghao

junhui: go add him and then add the rest

seokmin: who’s “the rest???”

junhui: ask again and ill actually say IT

seokmin: aye aye captain

seokmin added minghao (11:02 PM)
seokmin added seungcheol jeonghan joshua jihoon seungkwan vernon chan (11:03 PM)

junhui: welcome to the club everyone! :DDDD <333333

Mingyu lets out a sigh, immediately closing his phone as soon as he sees Junhui’s message, placing it on his bedside table before lying down on his own bed. He didn’t know what the actual fuck just happened. Thirty minutes ago, he just needed someone to talk to so he could rant, which happens to be Seokmin, which also happens to be an idiot who magically ruined his life. (Well, “ruined” is a bit of a stretch, but Mingyu is known to be overly dramatic) Mingyu closes his eyes, ignoring the continuous vibration from his mobile device that’s obviously caused by the bombarding notifications from the group chat, and sleeps instead.

vernon: how did this gc even happened in the first place

minghao: i feel like i know why

junhui: well

junhui: mingyu wanted some information about wonwoo and he messaged seokmin about it

junhui: and seokmin helped by adding soonyoung

junhui: but since hes dumb he accidentally added me and wonwoo too

junhui: mingyu wanted to kick us all out but i didnt want that to happen so i blackmailed seokmin and asked him to add all of you

junhui: so voila! the gayest gc have been made

seungkwan: is that why mingyu keeps on messaging me…….i was ignoring him the whole time

minghao: lol seungkwan same

minghao: i had to fake a dance practice because i already know what hes going to say and im completely tired of it

vernon: junhui hyung why do you know so much

junhui: :D

jihoon: seokmin how do you just accidentally add someone

seokmin: i dont know what happened i swear my fingers moved by itself

minghao: lol nice excuse u got there buddy

wonwoo: uh, i still have no idea why mingyu needs information about me.

junhui: dense.

soonyoung: dense.

jihoon: dense.

minghao: dense.

seokmin: dense.

seungkwan: dense.

vernon: dense.

chan: dense.

jeonghan: this might not be a drama club but the amount of drama in this gc is very interesting

jeonghan: i woke up just to say that

jeonghan: goodnight everyone

jeonghan: muah

Jeonghan turns off his phone once he hears Joshua whining beside him. “Baaaaabe, stop using your phone, it’s cuddle time” Joshua says with a pout, but Jeonghan just kisses it away as he wraps his arms around his partner, bringing him closer. “You’re being extra whiny today babe, are you sick?” Jeonghan jokingly places his hand on Joshua’s forehead, earning another pout from the younger. “I am not, silly. Can I not ask a cuddle from you?” is the last thing Joshua says before burying his face on Jeonghan’s neck, falling asleep a minute later. Jeonghan smiles and ruffles Joshua’s hair, murmuring “I love you” over and over again until he falls asleep himself.

(4:35 AM)

seungcheol: looking forward to be closer with you all

seungcheol: and jihoon is right, we are not dating

seungcheol: yet.

vernon: damn man its 4 am why are u awake so early

seungcheol: well i exercise every 4 am

vernon: wow wish i was that health conscious

seungcheol: im pretty sure you are!

seungcheol: i mean, what could be the reason you’re awake at 4am?

vernon: lol

vernon: i havent slept actually

vernon: ive been watching buzzfeed unsolved since 12am

vernon: and now im convinced that jon benet ramsey is murdered by her parents. dont you think so?

seungcheol: yeah youre right

vernon: that her parents murdered her?

seungcheol: no

seungcheol: that youre not health conscious

(7:04 AM)

seungkwan: rise and shine my kids

joshua: seungkwan 10 people here are literally older than you

seungkwan: so

joshua: plus we’re in college everyone has different schedules

seungkwan: so

mingyu: seungkwan shut up

seungkwan: make me

mingyu: you ignored my messages last night im gonna make u shut up whenever i want

seungkwan: ur so dramatic

mingyu: coming from u

minghao: shut up both of u i was disturbed

minghao: i was sleeping fuck it

mingyu: no minghao u shut up

mingyu: u ignored

mingyu: my

mingyu: messages

mingyu: too

minghao: u were only going to talk about [redacted] for hours whats the point

minghao: be grateful i didnt say the name im such a good friend

mingyu: be grateful to u?

mingyu: never

jihoon: i will fucking hunt all of u later

jihoon: my class starts at 12 and you all made me wake up at 7

jihoon: and seungcheol fuck u too

Mingyu enters the room, fifteen minutes before his class starts. His life dictionary doesn’t really acknowledges the word early, so you could imagine the face both Minghao and Seokmin makes when they see him. “What has gotten into you?” Minghao raises an eyebrow as Mingyu goes to his assigned seat, which is behind Seokmin and besides Minghao. “I needed extra time so I could kill someone before our professor arrives” he answers, purposely making his voice louder so Seokmin could hear.

And as if on cue, Seokmin hurriedly runs outside their room and Mingyu quickly follows, knowing well that his dumb best friend would do that classic move. It took him an exact five minutes before he finally catches Seokmin, cornering him somewhere around the hallway. “Fuck off, Seokmin. Now I don’t have enough energy to kill you” Mingyu groans as he catches his breath, trying his best not to let his friend escape from him. That is, until, a familiar voice shouts “Mingyu!” which made him distracted, and Seokmin took his only chance to run for his life. And Mingyu, instead of chasing his suspect, diverts his attention to the person who called him.

Which was Wonwoo.

“Hi Mingyu” Wonwoo says once he’s in front of Mingyu. “Wonwoo hyung, uh, hi” Mingyu, in the most sheepish way, greets back. “What are you doing here?” Mingyu asks, realizing that this was the arts building and there’s no way Wonwoo would have a class here. “Oh yeah, about that!” Wonwoo looks like he had an epiphany with Mingyu’s question, making the latter even more confused. “I actually came here to see you”

Now Mingyu is more confused as ever. Why did Wonwoo came all the way here? What does Wonwoo want? Why is he looking for-

“Hello? Earth to Mingyu?” Wonwoo waves his hand in front of Mingyu, successfully breaking his tiny little trance. “Oh, uhm, is this something about last night? I can expla-“ Once again, Mingyu is cut off by Wonwoo. “No, no it’s not about that” Wonwoo answers but quickly follows a “well it’s technically about last night, except you don’t have to explain”

“Huh?” is the only thing Mingyu was able to say.

“Well, I still don’t know why you need information about me. But I feel like you badly need it, so I came here to give you what you need, only this time it’s not coming from Soonyoung” Wonwoo looks around the hallway for a while before speaking once again. “But I don’t think this is a good place, should we go to a nearby coffee shop instead? After your class?”

Mingyu doesn’t question why Wonwoo knows his schedule, doesn’t question why the older is doing this for him, doesn’t question the absurdity of the whole situation.

He nods. “Sure thing, hyung”

Last night, he wanted to ask Wonwoo for some coffee. Funny how things have changed.

mingyu started a chat with seokmin (10:00 PM)

mingyu: thank

mingyu: u

mingyu: so

mingyu: much

mingyu: I OWE U BIGTIME MY BESTEST FRIEND

Chapter Text

(08:00 AM)

seokmin: uhm

seokmin: [image: screenshot of mingyu's message] 

seokmin: he literally wanted to kill me earlier yesterday what the fuck is up

junhui: hmmmm something smells

seungkwan: smells fishy : )

jeonghan: but isn’t he allergic to seafood

vernon: what

seungkwan: smells meaty : )

vernon: what

jeonghan: hey mingyu you sound like you WON something yesterday!

junhui: yeah mingyu, how much of WOOing did you do yesterday?

chan: ohhhhh i get it now!!!!!!

joshua: vernon even chan gets it there’s no way you still don’t know what they’re talking about

vernon: i literally have no idea

vernon: whatever im going back to sleep since buzzfeed unsolved kept me up all morning

seungkwan: i told you not to watch that at night anymore you dumbass!

seungkwan: when do u ever listen to me

jeonghan: aww what a sweet couple

seungkwan: how many times have i told you that we are not a couple

seungkwan: i am more of like….vernon’s mom

seungkwan: he is a literal 5 year old trapped in a 20 year old body

vernon: yeah yeah what he said

chan: lmfao its so funny that vernon hyung just agrees into whatever seungkwan hyung says

junhui: can we go back to the main topic

junhui: lets push aside verkwan for a minute

jihoon: who the fuck made up the word verkwan

jihoon: sounds like a discounted venom

junhui: again! back to the topic!

wonwoo: drop it, junhui.

jeonghan: ooooooh look who’s here

jeonghan: wonwoo, care to share why mingyu thanked seokmin? hmm?

wonwoo: lol

wonwoo: how would i know

seokmin: fuck off wonwoo u never use lol like never

seokmin: ur obviously lying

wonwoo: excuse me?

seokmin: oh my god hyung that was soonyoung im sorry

seokmin: we’re eating breakfast together and he left his phone in our apartment

seokmin: so now hes using mine

wonwoo: i understand, seokmin.

wonwoo: please don’t believe whatever he says

jeonghan: seokmin care to tell us what soonyoung said to u

seokmin: i dont feel like i should

junhui: seokmin : )

seokmin: ugh junhui hyung pls stop blackmailing me

junhui: i’ll be waiting : )

seungcheol: i’ll be waiting too

jihoon: seungcheol since when have u been interested from things like these

seungcheol: since i joined this gc

“Now look what you’ve done!” Seokmin cries, shoving his phone to Soonyoung’s face.

The older takes it, and was about to press the voice message option until Seokmin stops him. “What are you doing?”

Soonyoung shrugs. “I am going to tell them the story Wonwoo told me last night”

“But Wonwoo hyung would be mad!” Seokmin protests, receiving a laugh from his roommate. “Chill, he never gets mad. I’m one hundred percent sure Wonwoo won’t mind, he’s just trying to maintain his intimidating aura”

Seokmin doesn’t reply with that and just lets Soonyoung do whatever he wants with his phone, but instead of doing that, the older just looks at him with his eyebrows furrowed. “Also, care to tell me why Junhui keeps on blackmailing you? What does he know that I don’t?” Soonyoung asks, his voice sulky.

True enough, Seokmin tells Soonyoung anything. Like literally anything. From his random thoughts to his deepest ones, Soonyoung knows it all.

Except this one. And Seokmin has no plans on telling it sooner, especially when the secret he’s trying to hide highly involves Soonyoung.

“It’s nothing! Continue with your Wonwoo agenda” Seokmin says, abruptly changing the topic, hoping Soonyoung didn’t notice how tense he is at the moment.

He grabs his phone from his roommate and presses the voice message option, deciding to just tell it himself.

“Soonyoung hyung told me that Mingyu and Wonwoo hyung went for some coffee yesterday, and had a good talk”

(8:13 AM)

seokmin: [voice message]

junhui: seokmin thats it??

junhui: they had a ‘good talk’??

junhui: cant u be any more specificer than that

minghao: babe i dont think specificer is an actual word

junhui: i do what i want minghao

minghao: oh yeah?

junhui: no baby of course im just kidding i love u

joshua: i can’t believe i waited thirteen minutes only for seokmin to tell that

seokmin: hyung ur becoming a lot like jeonghan hyung

jeonghan: and thats a good thing

seokmin: i dont really think so…..

seungcheol: seokmin just tell me what happened yesterday between mingyu and wonwoo

seungcheol: im really curious

mingyu: SEUNGCHEOL HYUNG????????

mingyu: EVEN YOU???????????

jihoon: see, mingyu’s awake

mingyu: SO THAT WAS A TRAP??????

seungcheol: yeah ji made me do it

seungcheol: sorry gyu

mingyu: damn

mingyu: i

mingyu: feel

mingyu: betrayed

jeonghan: dramatic mingyu aside

jeonghan: jihoon and seungcheol are together

jeonghan: early in the morning

jihoon: lol we are not

chan: they are!! i was on my way to my 8:30 class and saw them at the park!!

chan: they seemed pretty sweet with each other too

minghao: lmao

minghao: karma hits

jihoon: we are not dating.

joshua: whatever you say, jihoon.

mingyu started a chat with wonwoo (11:30 PM)

mingyu: thank you for today, hyung : )

wonwoo: thank you too, mingyu.

wonwoo: i had fun.

mingyu: hyung, can i ask something?

wonwoo: yeah?

mingyu: were you serious about earlier?

wonwoo: that i prefer latte than frappe?

wonwoo: yeah, why?

mingyu: NOOOOOOOO

mingyu: i was

mingyu: talking about

mingyu: the L word…

wonwoo: the what?

mingyu: NDEKKTHATYOUHFEFHEFE

mingyu: EJJFEKFJEKFJEKLIKEMEHFEKFJ

wonwoo: oh.

wonwoo: yes, i was serious about what i said.

wonwoo: i do like you.

wonwoo: too.

mingyu: HKHFEJHFEUHEWUIHFEJHFEJHFEUGFEUFHEFGEJEFJBEFHHBEBHFEBBERBUEBB

mingyu: HYUNGHJEFBEJHFEJHFEHFEFJFBJRBBVBVBYEYGIROIROJ

wonwoo: but we’ll take it slow, yeah?

mingyu: YESOFCOURSEJJEJFKEBESHAHFEHEFEJYYKDGKNGJRKNGREJNRNRF

mingyu: and no telling to anyone yet

mingyu: i promise

wonwoo: thank you mingyu.

wonwoo: good night : )

Mingyu pinches his arm and winces after doing so, trying to make sure he’s not dreaming.

What happened earlier was something he didn’t expect, especially from Wonwoo. They had coffee, was awkward at first, but things gradually got better once Wonwoo pulled out a dad joke out of nowhere and suddenly they just become comfortable with each other’s company.

Wonwoo did share information about him. From his major, why he chose it, and a lot more. (Mingyu can’t really distinguish if he should be proud or embarrassed that he knows some of the things Wonwoo has said, all thanks to Soonyoung)

Until Wonwoo stopped, and asked Mingyu why he needed all of these information. Mingyu isn’t really sure if Wonwoo was serious about the question, trying to see if the older was just acting dense. But based from Wonwoo’s face, he does seem pretty confused.

Mingyu doesn’t know where he got the confidence to confess. He just felt like it was the right thing to do, so that’s what he did. Stating the reason why he needed information about the older, why he’s always in the library even if reading is actually the last thing he wants to do, why he’s always asking about Junhui to Wonwoo even if he doesn’t really care about what the former is doing.

“Well, it’s because I like you, Wonwoo hyung”

Mingyu bows his head. He was ready for the rejection. He really was.

Until he hears Wonwoo chuckles. “Really? I like you too”

And that’s it.

They’re not together yet, but at least they’re now at the same page.

(8:05 PM)

chan: fellas, is it gay

junhui: it is

mingyu: it better be

chan: i saw seungkwan hyung feeding vernon hyung earlier at the cafeteria

seungkwan: very funny chan

seungkwan: i told you i’m like vernon’s mother

seungkwan: isn’t that a mother thing to do

seungkwan: like feeding your child???

junhui: oh my god guys its confirmed

jihoon: i don’t like where this is going

junhui: seungkwan has a mommy kink

jihoon: oh god there it is

“A mommy kink?!?!?!” Seungkwan exclaims, and Vernon has to cover both of his ears because of how loud Seungkwan was.

“What the fuck does that even mean?” Seungkwan rolls his eyes and it makes Vernon laugh. His childhood friend always have the tendency to be over dramatic; no wonder he’s close with Mingyu.

“Don’t mind them, they’re probably just talking nonsense”

“Yeah, I know. Can you believe they're always pushing the fact that we’re a couple? I mean, just how? That will never happen”

Vernon laughs, a fake one this time. “Yeah, it’ll never”

Chapter Text

Minghao has to practically drag Junhui all the way from their dorm up to their campus, his boyfriend looking grumpy ever since Minghao woke him up from his deep slumber.

“It’s your fault for choosing morning classes” Minghao points out once he’s tired of seeing Junhui’s annoyed face.

“As if I had a choice, Hao” Junhui retorts, rubbing his eyes with a pout on his lips. Minghao would’ve find it cute in a different situation, but it’s 7 hellish AM and his dumbass boyfriend is making it hard for the both of them by walking so goddamn slow.

They’re not really late, but Minghao thinks being on time is late, so he usually arrives fifteen minutes before his class starts.

“Babe, look!” Junhui shouts all of a sudden, tapping Minghao’s shoulders vigorously.

Minghao wonders the reason behind his boyfriend’s sudden change of mood, not until he looks to where Junhui is pointing.

It’s Mingyu and Wonwoo.

They’re hugging.

In front of the fucking campus.

Look, it shouldn’t be a big deal. Mingyu and Wonwoo are both adults, and them liking each other is totally a normal thing.

But Mingyu and Wonwoo have been pining each other since god knows when, and seeing them finally fix their shit together is just a sight to see.

Bonus points, Junhui gets to tease Wonwoo, while he gets to tease Mingyu.

junhui: haha true they’re dumb

chan: did you get it, junhui hyung?

junhui: no, lee chan. fuck off

chan: i was just asking??????????????

Vernon chuckles, obviously entertained with his friends banters in the group chat. Seungkwan rolls his eyes, trying his very best to hold back his burst of laughter. Because honestly, the thing with the group chat isn’t the reason why Seungkwan is laughing; It’s actually because of Vernon.

The younger has been giggling for minutes and Seungkwan finds it amusing that Vernon easily finds happiness in simple things. Seungkwan has to admit that he mostly says it’s one of the things he doesn’t like about the younger, but in reality, it’s really the one he likes the most.

“Still finding it funny?” Seungkwan asked, not even trying to hide his smile. Vernon didn’t give an answer, just nods and smiles back, his gums showing, as he scrolls through the group chat.

Seungkwan suddenly cannot decide what he likes more about his best friend. (the gummy smile, maybe?)

soonyoung started a chat with seokmin (12:17 am)

soonyoung: hey seooooookkie

soonyoung: u still up?

seokmin: yeah why?

seokmin: dont tell me you lost your keys and you have to borrow mine again

seokmin: cause fuck off kwon soonyoung im already in bed!!!! i dont want to get up

soonyoung: shut up i still have my keys with me

seokmin: ok good 2 know

seokmin: so whats up? thought ur going to have a sleepover w ur friend

soonyoung: yeah but i changed my mind

seokmin: what why

soonyoung: are we playing 20 fucking questions why do u have 2 ask everything

seokmin: fine ill zip my mouth

soonyoung: can we go and get some ice cream plsssssssssssssssssss

seokmin: so u really want me to get up…

soonyoung: my treat!

seokmin: hah kwon soonyoung u know me so well

seokmin: ill be ready in five :D

Seokmin arrives at the ice cream shop in exactly five minutes. What he meant by “ready in five” was to get up in his bed, wear his neon green slippers, and then go straight to the shop.

So here he is, looking like shit with his pajama pants and oversized shirt, pairing it with his bright colored slippers his grandmother gave him last Christmas. “So people who drive at night can still see you even when it’s dark.” His grandmother reasons out, which Seokmin finds stupid, but he loves his grandma and he didn’t want to offend her, so he just smiled and accepted it, hoping his fake ass smile was believable enough.

“You look like shit.” is the first thing Soonyoung says once Seokmin finds him inside. “Psh, tell me something I don’t know” Seokmin retorts as he sits in front of his best friend. “What’s with the treat by the way?”

“There you go again with the questions” Soonyoung shakes his head, checking the menu as if he won’t order the same thing he orders every time they go here: Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.

“I know you so well, Kwon Soonyoung. Now spill” Seokmin makes a face and Soonyoung imitates it before speaking. “Fine fine, but only after I get my Chocolate Chip.”

They didn’t have to wait long for their order to arrive, so Seokmin only had to wait for a few minutes until Soonyoung says whatever he’s going to say.

 “The sleepover.” Soonyoung bites his lips, one of the things Seokmin knows his best friend always does whenever he’s nervous. Seokmin didn’t say anything, just motions Soonyoung to continue. “My friend confessed.”

“That he likes me.” Soonyoung adds, scratching his head. “And he confessed to me while we were watching TV. So I didn’t know what to react? I thought that kind of shit only happens in movies. Fuck it.”

Seokmin was rendered speechless. He didn’t know what to react, or worse, what to say. Does Soonyoung needs advice? Or he just really wanted to share it because they’re best friends? Seokmin doesn’t stop thinking what he should do, without realizing that Soonyoung was in front of him the whole time.

“Hello? Mr. Lee? You still there?” The older waves a hand in front of him.

“Yeah, yeah” Seokmin composes himself. “What were you saying?”

“I was asking, dumbo. What do you think should I do?”

Seokmin puts a spoonful of ice cream in his mouth before responding to Soonyoung’s question with another question. “Well, do you like him?”

Soonyoung, as if waiting for that question to be asked, quickly answered with a “No, I don’t.”

Seokmin sighs in relief, earning a confused look from Soonyoung, which he ignores because he doesn’t know how to explain why he was relieved by the fact that the older didn’t accept his friend’s confession.

 “So?” Soonyoung asks again.

Seokmin’s advising skills is at par with his cooking skills: they’re both equally shitty. But he thinks hard, trying his best to put himself in Soonyoung’s shoes, trying his best to make sure he doesn’t give a bad advice this time.

“Just tell him the truth, dude”

“Wouldn’t that be mean?” Soonyoung asks with a pout, making Seokmin smile. Classic Soonyoung. “I mean, you really don’t have a choice? I really think it’s better to stick with the truth.” Seokmin mentally pats his head for giving a decent advice, silently hoping Soonyoung thinks the same.

Soonyoung heaves a sigh, followed by a nod. “Yeah, I think you’re right. I’ll do it tomorrow.”

“Good. Now can we continue eating our ice cream? It’s melting!”

Seokmin and Soonyoung had to order another two cups of ice cream just so they could continue their chit chat, done with the serious stuff and finally back talking about nonsense topics which they both seem to enjoy. Seokmin loves it, loves it when he gets to spent these kind of moments with Soonyoung, loves it when they both laugh until their stomach hurts. Which is probably the reason why he doesn’t have the courage to confess.

He likes Soonyoung. A lot. But he’d rather keep his feelings than lose his best friend.

seokmin started a chat with junhui (2:32 am)

seokmin: jun hyung? you up?

junhui: unfortunately yes

junhui: ive got an assignment for my class later but im almost finished

junhui: why??????????

Chapter Text

seungcheol: can we order pizza?
jihoon: i thought you're on a diet?
seungcheol: its cheat day today

"Reasons." Jihoon huffs as he looks at Seungcheol. "Also, why do you keep on texting me? We're literally besides each other." He reminds the older, emphazing the word besides for Seungcheol doesn't seem to understand his point.

"But you're replying?" Seungcheol fires back, a grin plastered on his face.

"Whatever." It's Jihoon's go-to word whenever he runs out of things to say, especially when it's his boyfriend he's talking to.

Boyfriends. The word still feels foreign to Jihoon. Not in a bad way, but more of an i-can't-believe-this-happened-to-us type of way.

It was unexpected, really. Jihoon has never thought of dating someone like Seungcheol. They're polar opposites. Jihoon couldn't even think of a time where they both agreed on the same thing— talk about antithetical.

"Who the hell spends hours at the gym?"
"And who the hell spends hours at the music studio?"

Jihoon lets out a chuckle from the memory, receiving a look from Seungcheol who seems weirded out about his boyfriend laughing out of complete nowhere.

"So, pizza?"
"Yeah, but only if you order hawaiian."
"But you know I don't eat pineapples on pizza, Ji!" Seungcheol reasons out, acting like a child.

Jihoon may or may not have something to admit to his friends later.

(7:30 pm)

(9:42 pm)

chan: goodevening guys

junhui: *gays

junhui: how many times do i have to correct u about this my little chanathan

chan: fine

chan: goodevening homosexuals

soonyoung: yeah? u called?

chan: so a guy ive been texting for quite some time showed me multiple red flags

vernon: oh wow ive never known someone who has colored flags as a collection

jihoon: vernon, for your information. lee chan meant red flags as in the red flags in a relationship

vernon: huh?

jihoon: nvm i shouldn’t have explained i dug this hole myself

jihoon: chan please carry on

chan: yeah so i like the guy but :/

chan: i dont know what i should do!! i kinda like him

seokmin: my dude...ignoring red flags just cause ur tryna see the good in people will always backfire on u

chan: wtf that actually makes sense

mingyu: yeah because he got it from twitter

wonwoo: seokmin that was plagiarism

minghao: u guys are no help

minghao: look chan ive seen so many red flags with junhui and i still chose to stay

chan: how many is so many

minghao: i wouldve been a fucking pirate by how many red flags he has shown me

junhui: BABE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

minghao: ha just kidding

soonyoung: jokes are actually half meant

junhui: i dont need that information right now buddy

chan: ive been chatting with you guys for like 20 minutes and i still dont have any idea what to do

seokmin: dont blame people for disappointing you, blame yourself for expecting too much from them

wonwoo: blatant plagiarism, lee seokmin.

(2:09 am)

jihoon: i hope no one is awake

jihoon: but i have something to say

jihoon: seungcheol and i are dating

jihoon: like for a month now

jihoon: a month and a week to be exact

jihoon: yeah that’s about it

jihoon: night everyone.

“Holy shit!” Jeonghan screams as he sees Jihoon’s spur of messages, waking Joshua up.

The latter was about to get mad, considering the fact that it is two in the morning and they have class in less than five hours.

But Jeonghan beats him into it, showing Joshua the messages Jihoon sent. 

“Babe, look!”

Joshua has to blink multiple times, adjusting his eyes from the brightness his boyfriend’s phone emits; he mentally notes to remind Jeonghan that too much brightness isn’t good for his eyes.

“It was pretty obvious, but I am happy Jihoon finally admitted it. Opening up isn’t really his specialty.”

“I know, right?” Jeonghan agrees as he gets his phone back from Joshua, probably sending a text to congratulate Jihoon.

jeonghan started a chat with jihoon (2:14 am)

jeonghan: jihoon im so happy for you!!!

jihoon: what the fuck why are you awake

jeonghan: i had a feeling you were going to admit it by tonight so i stayed up late

jihoon: wait, really?

jihoon: that’s creepy.

jeonghan: no dumbass i can’t believe you’re as gullible as mingyu

jeonghan: but yeah happy for you my little munchkin

jihoon: please never call me that again

jeonghan: noted, sugar donut!

jeonghan: can’t wait to see more pda between you and seungcheol xoxo

(7:42 am)

junhui: ah

junhui: another win for the gays!

soonyoung: GAYS NEVER LOSE

seokmin: #gaysneverlose

(11:15 AM)

mingyu: MINGHAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

mingyu: u werent in class today

mingyu: IS EVERYTHING

mingyu: OKAY

mingyu: DID JUNHUI HYUNG BREAK U YESTERDAY

joshua: why would junhui break minghao

seungkwan: they had sex last night

jeonghan: omg seungkwan pls censor the word sex theres an actual child here

chan: im 20…

jeonghan: i was talking about joshua

vernon: s*x

jihoon: vernon that’s worse

jihoon: i can’t believe im spending my precious one hour vacant for this group chat

mingyu: JUNHUI HYUNG RELEASE MINGHAO

mingyu: WHERES MY BESTFRIEND

junhui: my beautiful gorgeous boyfriend is sick

junhui: so pls stop pestering him and me

junhui: and pester wonwoo instead ;)

mingyu: HES SICKKKKK UGH

mingyu: TAKE CARE OF HIM THEN

mingyu: ILL VISIT HIM LATER 

(11:18 am)

mingyu: jun hyung told me to pester u instead of minghao

mingyu: so here i am

mingyu: im just obeying hyung

mingyu: and not because i really wanna talk to you

mingyu: totally not at all

wonwoo: whatever you say, mingyu.

mingyu: im really a bad liar arent i

wonwoo: well….”bad” is an understatement

wonwoo: i’d rather use the word terrible

mingyu: HYUNG!!!!

mingyu: ur so mean >: (

wonwoo: don’t take it as an insult

wonwoo: at least that makes you an honest person, right?

mingyu: yeah ig

mingyu: how about u??

mingyu: are u a good liar or a bad one?

wonwoo: wait mingyu something came up i’ll just text you later

mingyu: oh

mingyu: okay..

“A bad one.” A voice behind him speaks.

It’s Wonwoo.

Mingyu turns around to find out if he’s right, and he is. “Hyung, you’re here!” Mingyu waves a hand at Wonwoo, his canines showing out from smiling too much.

“Yeah, I could hear you sulking through text.” Wonwoo teases as he pokes the younger’s sides. Mingyu doesn’t say anything with that, and just jokingly swats Wonwoo’s hands away, acting as if he doesn’t like what the elder is doing. (Plot twist: he secretly does)

“What are you doing here anyway?” Mingyu asks once Wonwoo is finally done with his tickling agenda. Wonwoo just shrugs and puts a hand on his shoulder. “Wanted to see you so bad.”

Mingyu wasn’t expecting that mushy answer, so he covers his face.

See, that’s the thing with Wonwoo. Unlike Mingyu who is totally an open book, unlike Mingyu who word vomits every second, and unlike Mingyu who has a very readable face, Wonwoo is the exact opposite. And that’s what he likes most about him. He’s mysterious.

Not secretive, but mysterious.

“Stop doing that!” Mingyu pouts, his face turning into deep crimson.

Wonwoo just looks at him, feigning innocence. “Stop doing what, exactly?”

“You know, that!” Mingyu tries to gesture with his hands, but fails terribly. Ironic. For someone who speaks a lot, Mingyu is shitty with explanations.

Wonwoo just smiles and reaches out for Mingyu’s hands. “So, lunch?”

(4:31 pm)

seungcheol: is everyone free until 7

mingyu: seokmin and i are both free

mingyu: and wonwoo hyung too!!!!

soonyoung: yuuuuuup!

junhui: seungcheol hyung do u really have to plan a treat when minghao and i arent available

jihoon started a chat with seungcheol (4:09 PM)

jihoon: do you really think it’s a good idea?

seungcheol: 11 people eating at a bbq resto, what could go wrong?

vernon: its the last episode

junhui: pls enCOURAGE seokmin about it

seungcheol: i don’t think that’s a good thing to do

jihoon: you send me endless pics (whether it be memes or gym photos) whenever you’re bored in class seungcheol

jihoon: you’re not one to talk

minghao: no shit sherlock

seokmin: dude i wish i could

seokmin: he literally blocked me

seokmin: i think hes still upset about earlier

seokmin: not sure tho

jeonghan: seokmin…

jeonghan: he hasn’t talked to you, he blocked you, and he doesn’t want to open the goddamn door

jeonghan: and you’re still not sure that he’s upset?

jeonghan: you’re denser than wonwoo

wonwoo: why do i always seem to be included in a conversation i didn’t even take part in?

vernon: thats life for u man

wonwoo: very inspirational, mr chwenotchew.

seokmin started a chat with soonyoung (9:37 pm)

seokmin: HYUNGGG (failed to send)

seokmin: pls let me enter (failed to send)

seokmin: i know ur upset (failed to send)

seokmin: but i cant really say it (failed to send)

seokmin: TOO confidential (failed to send)

seokmin: involves a certain man named kwon soonyoung (failed to send)

seokmin: FINE (failed to send)

seokmin: u wont be able to see this anyway (failed to send)

seokmin: ur the one i like (failed to send)

seokmin: kwon soonyoung

seokmin: i

Seokmin realizes that his messages are finally sending, which made him stop. He lets out a sigh of relief, thinking of what could have happen if he continued sending them. It’ll be a big problem, for sure.

soonyoung: “i” what?

seokmin: uhhhh

seokmin: i was about to say im sorry!!

soonyoung: then why stop at i

seokmin: i wanted to say it in person

soonyoung: ur such a bad liar

soonyoung: no wonder ur friends with mingyu

seokmin: whatever u say

seokmin: just pls let me in its really cold

soonyoung: fine

soonyoung: even if im still mad at u >:(

seokmin: but i already said sorry

soonyoung: u said “i” dummy

soonyoung: that doesnt sound like an apology for me

seokmin: soonyoung my dearest best ever roommate kwon soonyoung

seokmin: let me in and ill personally apologize

seokmin: i promise

soonyoung: one question before i open the door

seokmin: dude….really

seokmin: but fine

seokmin: what is it

soonyoung: if i was the last person on earth, is there a chance that you would date me?

Seokmin gulped. He wasn’t expecting that. Soonyoung’s questions were usually weird, but nothing gets weirder than this one. Seokmin figures that it’s just one of his roommate’s gags, so he replies jokingly.

seokmin: hyung if u were the last person on earth

seokmin: i wouldnt exist

soonyoung: ur so annoying

soonyoung: u couldve just answered with a yes or no

seokmin: so

seokmin: the door?

soonyoung: answer it first

seokmin: hyung i already did

soonyoung: ill rephrase it this time and ur only choices are yes or no

seokmin: u literally said ONE question

It’s been five minutes, and Soonyoung hasn’t replied. Seokmin was about to knock continuously at their door when he heard a message notification.

soonyoung: if u and i were the last people on earth, is there a chance that you would date me?

Seokmin has to spend a minute forming a reply when he could’ve easily just said yes, because that’s obviously his answer. But he doesn’t.

soonyoung: so?

“Here goes my freaking courage” Seokmin voices out to himself, changing his mind as he types.

seokmin: yes, hyung.

seokmin: i would.

seokmin: 100 percent.

seokmin: how come u didnt tell me any of this!!!

jeonghan: well, i didn’t want to meddle

jeonghan: though it was obvious for me that you like each other, it was also obvious that both of you are oblivious for your feelings of one another

seokmin: IM SHY

seokmin: this still feels surreal to me

seokmin: its literally the first day of our relationship and ur already asking if i want us to sleep together

soonyoung: im not talking about having sex u nasty

seokmin: i know! im aware but!!

soonyoung: we’ve slept together a lot of times

soonyoung: like countless of times

soonyoung: why are u suddenly so shy

seokmin: because this is different

seokmin: we’re boyfriends now not best friends

seokmin: how are u not affected by this

soonyoung: i am

soonyoung: believe me

soonyoung: im sweating like crazy

seokmin: then why do u sound so cool about all of this

soonyoung: because god knows how much ive waited for this

soonyoung: ive liked you for a long time dumbass

soonyoung: and if we took this long to admit our feelings for each other

soonyoung: who knows how long we’ll take if both of us will be shy in this relationship

seokmin: ur right

seokmin: im sorry hyung :(

soonyoung: its fine i understand

soonyoung: will u finally come inside?

Soonyoung didn’t get a reply, so he decides to come to Seokmin’s room instead. Before he gets up though, he hears the door open, the sight of the younger holding a pillow with his body crouched, obviously shy.

“Hi?” Soonyoung says, breaking the ice. It was funny, how they’re so awkward with each other as if it’s their first time meeting one another. Seokmin didn’t say anything, just gives him a smile in return as he walks to the direction of Soonyoung’s bed. The younger motions Soonyoung to move, which he obeys, patting the available side as he looks at Seokmin.

Seokmin lies down, which took almost a minute because Seokmin moved so slowly, probably still feeling shy about the whole thing. As Seokmin settles himself, Soonyoung surprises him with a hug, his face buried in Seokmin’s neck like a glue.

“Feeling better?”

Soonyoung feels Seokmin gulped before nodding and muttering a low “Yeah”. The former just hugs the latter tighter, making Seokmin comfortable that finally stopped him from being stiff, and lets Soonyoung cuddle him like that.

That night, Seokmin and Soonyoung had the best sleep they had in years. (A little hyperbole won’t hurt, right?)

(8:41 am)

wonwoo: I LOVE MINGYU

wonwoo: KIM MINGYU BEST BOYFRIEND

junhui: i guess someone finally got his egg mcmuffin huh

Chapter Text

Minghao comes out from class, and Junhui just can’t stop himself from staring.

His boyfriend is beautiful, that’s for sure, but there’s just something different about him today.

“God, he’s so beautiful.” Junhui accidentally points out loud, making Yugyeom hear him.

The latter puts his arm around Junhui’s shoulder and taps it twice. “Don’t worry hyung, you’re handsome too.”

Junhui looks at Yugyeom, checking to see if he’s joking, but his face convinces him that he’s not.

“I’m not being jealous, Yugyeom. I’m being gay.” he deadpans.

“You’re gay?!”

Junhui motions a “shhhhh!” and rolls his eyes, nodding. “And Minghao’s my boyfriend, how come you do not know about this?” he questions, since Yugyeom is one of Minghao’s closest friends.

Yugyeom answers, though the surprise look on his face doesn’t disappear. “Well, he never told me.”

minghao started a chat with junhui (3:43 pm)

minghao: hey babe?

mingyu: i pity u my brothers

chan: MINGYU HYUNG??? u have it memorized???

jeonghan: exactly my reaction, little chan.

chan: i am not little

jeonghan: :)

wonwoo: yes. i didn’t allow mingyu to use his phone for two hours. he was able to memorize the whole poem earlier.

mingyu: thank u wonu hyung <3

seokmin: oh god must be nice to have wonwoo hyung as a boyfriend

minghao: i second that

soonyoung: EXCUSE FUCKING ME?

junhui: i second that

“Hyung, for the love of god, I am not a baby.” Chan sighs in irritation, making Jeonghan giggle.

It’s lunch time, and for some reason Jeonghan’s vacant for today is the same with Chan so they eat together at the cafeteria. If the younger only knew that Jeonghan would pester him like this for the whole time, he would’ve not said yes.

“But you are!” Jeonghan emphasizes, pointing a fork at him, making Chan’s eyes roll.

Thirty minutes in and the older still doesn’t stop, so he just gives up and agreed to whatever nonsense his hyung is saying.

“Fine, I am your baby. Happy now?” He raises an eyebrow, and most people would be intimidated by that, but Jeonghan must’ve find it cute because the only thing he did was pinch his cheek.

(4:38 pm)

jeonghan: i have a baby

joshua: yeah, me.

jeonghan: unfortunately not.

vernon: hyung did u get someone pregnant

jeonghan: vernon, what? of course not!

seungkwan: you’re cheating on joshua hyung?

jeonghan: again, no.

seungcheol: you found a baby and decided to adopt it?

jeonghan: someone who has common sense, answer please.

chan: lol they cant everyone has classes except for the people that just replied

jeonghan: oh there!

jeonghan: there’s my baby!

dino: i am not your baby, hyung.

jeonghan: but u agreed!

joshua: context, please.

vernon: lol i love how joshua hyung is so chill about this

seungcheol: joshua never gets mad about petty things

vernon: be like joshua hyung seungkwan

seungkwan: i am not petty stop calling me petty

vernon: but i didnt call u petty

seungkwan: you just said i get mad about petty things!!

vernon: but again

vernon: i didnt call u petty

jeonghan: quarrelbirds, focus on the topic. i am talking about my baby.

jeonghan: chan, whose baby are you?

chan: NO ONE

joshua: context, please. (2)

vernon started a chat with seungkwan (9:13 pm)

vernon: kwannieeeee

vernon: chan and i are on our way to subway u wanna come?

seungkwan: no

vernon: oh okay

seungkwan: kay.

vernon: chan said ur replies look like ur mad

vernon: u are?

seungkwan: because u called me petty!!!!!

vernon: oh

vernon: sorry kwannie

vernon: ill bring u a hamburger as an apology

seungkwan: whatever

vernon: and ill call u pretty instead

vernon: chan told me to tell you that

chan started a chat with seungkwan (9:18 pm)

chan: im typing this in secret but i didn’t tell him to tell you that lol that was just a lame excuse

seungkwan: that’s nonsense why would he lie about that

chan: idk????

chan: youre his best friend shouldn’t you know better

Seungkwan blushes at the thought of what Vernon said.

Seungkwan doesn’t understand on why he would blush about something that Vernon said, because duh, it’s Vernon for pete’s sake.

Seungkwan has to think of another five minutes until he comes into a realization.

Seungkwan realizes he might like his best friend.

Yeah, just might, not entirely sure. Seungkwan tries his best to assure himself.

junhui: if i didnt add all of u ur lives would probably be boring

junhui: everyone say thank u junhui

seungkwan: because i’m not dumb to “accidentally” add people i shouldn’t add

seokmin: I TOLD U MY FINGERS TYPED BY ITSELF

seungkwan: so step aside the three of you and say thank you seungkwan!

jihoon: do u really think i am thankful to be a part of this shit

jihoon: never

seungcheol: i am

seungcheol: if it weren’t for this group chat you wouldn’t admit our relationship

vernon: gross

vernon: oops that’s a typo hyung

vernon: i meant

vernon: great : )

minghao: god this group chat is nothing but a bunch of liars

 (11:18 pm)

junhui: just curious

wonwoo: don’t be.

junhui: fuck off

soonyoung: OH NOW I AM CURIOUS TOO

soonyoung: seokmin do u like to tell them

junhui: one party wonwoo wanted to “lift his spirits up” because hes feeling down so he drank until he fucking cant

junhui: he threw up at the house owner’s garden

soonyoung: god i still remember that day

soonyoung: wonwoo literally look like a human vomit fountain

junhui: still cute huh mingyu

wonwoo: how do you block someone in real life?

joshua: well, there’s a thing called restraining order

jeonghan: or murder

junhui: well that escalated quickly

(9:28 am)

vernon: sup yall

vernon: has anyone seen seungkwan

mingyu: uh no

mingyu: shouldnt u know

vernon: would i ask if i did

mingyu: fair point

Seungkwan sees the messages from his notification bar, purposely ignoring it because he’s still trying to assure himself that he doesn’t like his best friend.

Their friends have always teased them, and he used to not care, used to, but now he doesn’t think he could still act the way he usually reacts, nonchalant and just laughs it off.

Seungkwan feels bad for avoiding Vernon, especially when the latter doesn’t even have any idea why he’s reacting this way. He can’t just simply say “Well you know, I kind of had a realization that I like you like, like like, more than a best friend kind of like.”

Sounds like bullshit when he played that scene in his head. Vernon would probably just laugh at him, would think that he’s joking because even Seungkwan himself still finds everything unreal.

He has zero idea on what to do, and he doesn’t want to talk about it to anyone, so he comes up with the brightest idea he could think of (News flash: bright would be the least thing to describe it.)

(8:30 pm)

seungkwan: HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII KIDDOS

vernon: thank god ur finally alive

seungkwan: vernon i was literally gone for less than a day of course i am alive

junhui: and itll be amazing to call it verus dont u think

junhui: cos VERnon so VERus

wonwoo: you didnt have to explain everyone got it

junhui: why did no one laugh then

minghao: because its not funny babe im sorry

minghao: at least i never lie to u <3

junhui: fair point

junhui: kim mingyu i honestly cant stand u

mingyu: cock a doodle do!

Vernon heaves a sigh as he checks his phone, trying to see if Seungkwan has replied, as if he hasn’t just checked for the last thirty seconds.

It’s confusing, all of it. He doesn’t know where it all started. The avoiding, the sudden dating thing, the ignored messages.

Vernon had asked Chan’s penny of thoughts, the younger not advising much except for the fact that his other best friend keeps on encouraging him to confess.

A lot of his friends have done it and succeeded, namedly Mingyu and Seokmin, who’s now happy with their love life, but that doesn’t stop Vernon from thinking about the worst that could happen once he does the same with Seungkwan.

Vernon massages his temples, he was content with how everything was, choosing to just keep his feelings hidden because Seungkwan is happy, and when his best friend is happy, Vernon is happier. But now it’s just a mess because for the first time, Seungkwan have avoided him for three straight days, making up excuses that he can’t come to lunch with him, not even reading his text messages, not getting updates from his best friend’s everyday life, everything just doesn’t sit well with Vernon.

“Is it because he’s finally dating someone?” Vernon says out loud, ruffling his hair in frustration and was about to get up and leave, until he feels a hand on his shoulder, warm and familiar. It’s Seungkwan.

“Hi, Nonie.”

Chapter Text

“Nonie?”

Vernon stays put for a good ten seconds, until the same hand taps his shoulder, bringing him back from his reverie.

“Hey?” He finally faces the older, his voice unsure.

Seungkwan gives him a smile, that smile was one of his favourites, because it didn’t have any hint of teasing he usually gets from his best friend. It was just, a smile, as simple as that.

The smile quickly goes away though, replaced by an apologetic look that then turns into a pout.

“I’m sorry.” Seungkwan starts off, his voice similar with Vernon’s just a while ago, also unsure. He was about to say “Its fine.” because that’s what always happen to him and Seungkwan. They have a petty fight, one apologizes, one accepts, and then everything is back to normal once again.

But this wasn’t just a petty fight, Vernon knows that it’s more than that.

“What happened?”

Seungkwan, though surprised, also seemed to be waiting for the question.

The older heaves a sigh, a deep one. He sits on the chair in front of Vernon and finally starts explaining.

“I don’t have a boyfriend.”

“I didn’t think you have one?” Vernon says. “I thought you were just going on dates.” He added.

“Well, there were no dates.” Seungkwan clarifies, which didn’t really help Vernon much because all it did was make him more confused than he was ten seconds ago.

Seungkwan looks at him, his face showing at least ten emotions at once. And how his best friend was able to do that, Vernon has no idea.

The older finally settles with one emotion, which was nervousness. Vernon can clearly tell because he has seen this face whenever Seungkwan was called on class recitation.

“Promise me first that you won’t be mad at me?”

Vernon squints his eyes. “What is this about?”

The older pouts again, mutters a please with his hands clasped.

“What is it?”

“Ilikeyou”

“What? Haikyuu? Are you finally watching that anime?” He asks, though bringing up anime at this time seems absurd.

Seungkwan sighs deeply.

“Vernon. I’m saying that I like you.”

Vernon finally understands and nods, until every single word Seungkwan uttered finally processed inside his brain and he looked at the latter, his eyes about to bulge.

“You what me?!”

(9:32 pm)

mingyu: so you guys know i like math right
