Chapter Text
it was but a beautiful saturday morning. the birds are chirping, the sun's out, it's a perfect 74 degrees fahrenheit, nothing could get better than this!
but, where's keonho?
oh, right.
"HYUNG! i'm being serious! i need helpp!" he whines into his phone as he dramatically face plants into his bed. a laugh can be heard over the speaker.
"god, you're so dramatic." james says, clearly entertained by the younger's mental breakdown. keonho gives his phone a glare, despite knowing james isn't able to see a thing.
"i know you're glaring at me right now keonho, stop!"
"how the hell-"
"don't ask," james swiftly cuts him off, which stops keonho's glaring (for now, at least) "now tell me about this amazing master plan you called me for while i could be housing down my breakfast?"
"okay fine. so, you know how i've lowkey-highkey-middlekey liked seonghyeon for a bit?" keonho starts as he plays with his spiderman sheets (that's a long story he's not explaining any time soon).
"yeah, it's embarrassing as hell."
"be nice! any way, i've decided to finally do something about it before i either graduate heartbroken, or blow up. the plan is i make seonghyeon fall in love with my sexy, awesome self. how does it sound?"
a long, relieved sigh is heard from the other end, in typical james fashion. (give him a break, he's heard too much about this seonghyeon guy for his own sanity.)
"thank god you got some balls and did something about it! i finally get a break from hearing about seonghyeon and can focus on finally pulling som-"
"tsk, tsk, tsk, hyung. rookie mistake. you forgot a very crucial part to this whole scheme. you're gonna be helping me!"
silence. too much silence, especially for james. he's undoubtedly known for being pretty loud, chaotic, and out there. keonho checks his phone to make sure the other is still on the line before speaking again. "hello? hyung? chat am i muted?"
"oh, i thought you were joking. this is real, okay!" sarcasm oozes out the older's voice so much that keonho can essentially feel the face james is giving him right now. huh, maybe that's how james knew he was glaring?
no time to ponder, keonho got an eom seonghyeon-sized fish to fry right now.
"keonho, look. or hear i guess, i don't know. i will help you plan, but that's it. i'm not being a goddamn wingman for you."
"ugh, fine. i suppose i could settle for that." keonho turn onto his back and splays all his limbs out.
"good! now open the door, let's plan this out and get you a boyfriend!"
keonho jumps up from his bed, suddenly sitting up with impeccable posture. phone still in hand, he screams into the speaker "WHAT?! HOW DID YOU EVEN GET HERE THAT FAST??"
"do not doubt my abilities ahn. now open this door or so god help me!" james' frustration could be heard through the phone and how he was actively banging on keonho's front door. seriously, the way he was banging he could've put a hole through it!
"okay damn! i'll be down in a few." keonho hangs up the phone and flops back down onto his sheets. he loudly groans and runs his hands down his face, regretting even asking james to be some type of help. as he accepts his fate, he sluggishly arises from the bed and walks out his room. what a good, beautiful day for anyone but ahn keonho.

it's safe to say ahn keonho's a goner when it comes to eom seonghyeon.
if you asked him how long he's been infatuated with his classmate, he'd probably not reply. he's too scared to admit a thing like that. but if keonho did respond to the question, he'd say something along the lines of "uh, i'm not really sure how long. but it's been a while." the thing is, he's partially lying. yes it's been a while, but he is very, very sure of how long it's been. not that anyone's counting, but it's been two years, eleven months, and 27 days since he started liking seonghyeon—and in four days it'll be a pathetic three years. yay to him.
it all stemmed from his first day at cortis high school of the arts, where keonho was tremendously unprepared. he forgot to check his schedule until the day before school—he planned to check it on the day of orientation, but he spontaneously got sick the day of. it didn't cool off until the day before school—and now doesn't know where a single one of his classes are located. he would ask james, his best friend that's currently a sophomore at the same school, but lucky for him the older is in LA. for what? who fucking knows.
so, with no idea of how this campus is formatted. keonho is officially fucked. he's currently looking for a class 03-143, but he somehow ended up in building 27. so, with no idea of how this campus is formatted. keonho is officially fucked. he's currently looking for a class 03-143, but he somehow ended up in building 27. don't ask questions, not even keonho himself knows how he fucked up that bad. he's about ready to give up and camp out in the bathrooms the rest of the day when he trips on his own shoelace and eats shit. his life couldn't possible get worse, right? wrong. very wrong. because when he lifts his head up, he sees a guy looking up at him with concern painted all over his face. his hair is brown with highlights, his eyes are big and pretty but are laced with a sharpness to them, his lips are so full and pretty it's insane. they are the perfect shade of pink, if keonho looks longer he could probably recite the hex code. this is single handedly the prettiest, most attractive guy ahn keonho has seen in his fourteen years of life on earth. "hey, are you okay? you fell pretty hard." the beautiful guy asked him. his voice was kinda deep, and he spoke so softly. if his voice was turned into a song, keonho would stream it 24/7. luckily, keonho got his shit together in time to somehow get out a reply. "oh yeah, i'm uh- fine. sorry." his voice was embarrassingly shaky, and keonho was sure he was probably blushing. i mean, can you blame him? an angel is right in front of him! "no you're fine! do you... need help getting up?" he put a hand out for the black haired boy. keonho took it, and the brown-blonde boy effortlessly pulled him up. he should have not found that attractive, but keonho is just a boy. "t-thank you." "no problem! what class are you headed to right now?" "um... 03-143?" the beautiful boy's eyebrows furrowed, and he pushes a hair behind his ear as he says "but this is building 27 though...?" god, how can pushing a hair back be so pretty when he does it? "yeah i know, i'm insanely lost." "yikes, been there before. i kept on getting lost during orientation so i feel you. i have the same class so we can walk together?" keonho's eyes light up, relief passing through his system. he might've just eaten shit in front of the most gorgeous boy ever, but at least they have a class in common together! "yeah, that sounds great!" the boy softly laughs at keonho's excitement before leading the way. keonho follows behind like an overzealous dog. "wait, i didn't even introduce myself!" the boy sharply turns around to face keonho, and hold his hand out for a handshake. "i'm seonghyeon, eom seonghyeon!" seonghyeon smiles as he introduces himself. eom seonghyeon. eom. seonghyeon. seonghyeon. eom. what a pretty name for a pretty boy. seriously, is this guy perfect or what? yet again, keonho snaps back into reality to shake his hand and introduce himself as well. "i'm ahn keonho, it's nice to meet you seonghyeon." "likewise, keonho! that's such a cool name!" seonghyeon's smile gets even bigger and keonho knew that was the moment where eom seonghyeon—the pretty boy with blonde highlights and sharp yet beautiful eyes—had his heart. they didn't talk much after that. sure, they were mutual on social media, god along pretty well during assigned projects, and ran in the same friend groups, but their paths never fully aligned. that's just great for keonho! so splendid. so as the black haired boy stares at his ceiling at an alarming time later that night (or day? keonho doesn't know. all he knows is that it's some type of a.m.) he sees the plan list him and james made earlier in the day thanks to the blue led lights he's commited to keeping on at all times. he focuses on the first part of the plan. "1. find a way to talk to him" it's now or never, keonho thinks to himself. two years, eleven months, and 27 days too long of yearning and pining over eom seonghyeon. he needs to do something and he's gonna do it soon.
