Work Text:
Minho is a senior in university. Being the regular college student like everybody else. Going to classes, having a lunch in the cafeteria, doing assignments and whine while doing the said assignments. Minho is just a regular college student just like others. Yet, he is the only one who can capture Jisung's heart.
Jisung on other side, is just another regular college student who's coincidentally having a crush on Minho, for who knows how long. No one knows when exactly it started or how could Jisung likes Minho. But the man never dare to step up his game to be close to the said crush. He likes to watch Minho from afar, how the man seems to joke around with his friends, how he would doing his assignment in the library, or how his crush would casually walk, ignoring people around him, somehow gracefully.
Jisung convinced himself that he will content to just looking at his crush from afar. He was once. But somehow, seeing his crush crying alone in the library, quietly, making Jisung wants to embrace him tight, and just be there, saying it all will be alright. But no, it won't be good. Jisung will just scares Minho if he suddenly just doing that. What will he said to him? 'Minho, I've been watching you from afar these past months and seeing you cry I just want to hug you now?' Ridiculous. So Jisung just does what most likely should be done by a stranger who has a crush on the crying man. Waiting.
Jisung waits for at least ten minutes, and Minho is calmer than before. Not crying anymore, just a little bit sobbing but he is way calmer to left the table and start finding books for his assignment. Hurriedly, Jisung write something on the sticky notes and put it on Minho's table, alongside the known drink, Pororo milk flavor he likes most. Don't want to get caught, Jisung quickly back to where his belongings were and leave the library in instant.
"Hell- what was I thinking doing that? Sunbae will think I'm a creep now." Jisung walk faster to his next class even though there's still 30 more minutes until it began. Anywhere but library, he thinks.
Meanwhile, back to the library, Minho got confused as why there is a pororo drink on where he sat. Did someone put it there by mistake? Taking back a seat, he noticed there's also a notes besides the drink.
ㅆㅆㅆ
Hi, I know it sounds weird but I see you crying before. I don't even know what happened but- I hope you're okay. You've been doing well all this time. You'll be okay. Fighting!
P.s. ah I hope this drink will help to cheer you up
ㅆㅆㅆ
So, someone watch him over? He should be freaking out right now, but seeing the stranger even give this cute pororo drink, somehow it warms his heart. Yes, he definitely can do this. With new spirit in him and a little drink, Minho starts doing his assignment with smile.
ㅇㅇㅇ
It's been weeks since Jisung give little notes to Minho. They've been living their lives as usual, like before. Well, there is one thing that for sure changing. Minho now seems to buy pororo drink daily, even a few times Jisung run into him in accident when he's trying to buy the same product. Today as well, they run into each other in the same market.
"You seem to like this drink?" It startled Jisung as he hear someone ask that, even more shocked as to know who's asking. It's Lee Minho. It's his crush. What should he do now? His crush asking him a question and he hasn't prepared this encounter at all. "U-uh yeah. It's good, isn't it?" Minho giggles at that, thinking how cute the person to be nervous at a stranger. He must be a shy person.
"Yes. You are right. This drink is so perfect." Seeing Minho takes one bottle with a tender smile makes Jisung's heart skips a beat. Hell, no wonder Minho is his crush. That man has a killer smile. "Uh- do you perhaps want to eat something with me?" Jisung absolutely didn't think he would be brave enough to ask his crush eat a lunch together.
"I'm sorry, I can't." Oh, of course. Who want to eat with me? Jisung thinks. His crush must be busy too. What a dumbass, Jisung. "I have a class right now, but I can give you my number and we can eat together some other times?" For real, Jisung is speechless right now. Does his crush just agreeing to eat lunch with him some other time? "O-oh sure." Like hell he will let this chance go. So that way, they have each other's number on their phones.
Just like that, the two becomes closer. Minho and Jisung always together when they have their times. Not to be that clingy couple (even though they are not a couple), but they find themselves always in the same place like canteen, library, market, or even cafes and makes them just spending time together. Just like that.
ㅇㅇㅇ
They are closer but it doesn't mean Jisung is brave enough to declare his love for Minho directly. For Pete's sake, Jisung doesn't even know if Minho swing that way. So he did what most cowards do to their crush, or maybe he isn't a coward for taking the step. He writes a love letter. Not really a love letter. Maybe just another little note to make Minho knew he has a secret admirer.
And today is the day. Jisung isn't sure if what he's doing is right or he will regret it later. But what's done is done. He already put the love letter inside Minho's bag in the library when Minho's not there. He bolted out in instant too, of course a secret admirer should remain a secret, shouldn't it? Figured he's far from the library, he takes his steps to the canteen instead. This whole 'confession' thing drained more energy than he's expected.
In the library Minho is confused as why's another letter is on his desk. He thought it's a one-time thing. But on the side note, he's glad that the person doesn't really disappear or didn't stop caring for him. Opening the letter, he finds a cute little letter, ordinary ones. Usually a love letter contains a long paragraph of how the person feel towards the others, instead it's just contain paragraphs that sound a lyric to him. Or maybe it is a lyric of a song.
ㅆㅆㅆ
On this highway, it's a runaway
Your eyes that looks into mine are the milky way
Just love me right
Baby, please love me right
Come to me, don't hesitate
You're alluring, you're my universe
Just love me right
My entire universe is you
And I just wanna make you love me
ㅆㅆㅆ

Jisung is eating peacefully when Minho suddenly approaching him panting. Seems like the guy run from the library. Trying to look innocent from what he did before, Jisung give him a weird look. "Why are you running like that, hyung? Someone chasing you? A ghost, maybe?" He chuckles. Good acting, Jisung praises himself.
What he didn't expect was Minho to giggle too. "Actually I'm chased by the time. I have a class in twenty." Jisung starts to panick- if so why is he here? "Then why are you here, hyung? It's a canteen not a classroom." Jisung hopes Minho won't talk about the letter or else the truth will accidentally slip his mouth. He is not ready for that.
Instead answering, Minho put a letter in front of Jisung, making his face paler. 'Please not be something I think it is.' Before Jisung could even ask, Minho beat him to it. "So, I just have to love you right, no?"
