Hyunjin's words are stuck in Seonghwa's brain as the next couple of days passes by, and Seonghwa hates to admit that he might not know Yeosang at all yet. Although Hyunjin probably was saying most of the things out of pure jealousy and spite, the words still manage to mingle themselves into pretty much any other thought Seonghwa has.

Even before the incident with Hyunjin, it was clear to Seonghwa that Yeosang is carrying something heavy inside his mind, and most likely his heart too. Something that has made him seem so careless and cold, distant and closed. But Seonghwa has also started to see a new side of him; a side so soft, warm and gentle. One that Seonghwa is more than eager to learn more about.

And for each time he sees Yeosang, for every kiss and every smile, Hyunjin's words slowly start to fade away. They might not be completely forgotten, but Seonghwa isn't paying much attention to them at least.

Seonghwa rubs his eyes which have become tired from reading through twenty pages of the probably tiniest font ever. He has tried to avoid putting on his reading glasses because he thinks he looks dumb with them on, and he doesn't want Yeosang to make fun of him. But finally he has to give in and find the stupid glasses from the drawer in his desk, and with a long sigh he puts them on. Yeosang is sitting on the bed just scrolling around on his phone, but he looks up when he hears the sound of the drawer being opened and closed.

"Wow. You look sexy like that," he grins and puts his phone away.

"Yeosang, your sarcasm is not appreciated right now," Seonghwa just grumbles, trying to stay focused on the book in front of him. He soon feels completely distracted when he feels Yeosang's warm hands on his shoulders, slowly gliding down over his chest.

"I'm serious," Yeosang whispers in Seonghwa's ear, "like some hot teacher kind of type."

"Yeosang... I need to finish this tonight..." The voice that leaves Seonghwa's lips is almost just a simple whine as the feeling of Yeosang's hands all over him making him give in.

Yeosang drags Seonghwa's chair away from the desk before sitting down over Seonghwa's lap. Slowly and seductively the younger starts to pull his shirt over his head, revealing the lovely body that Seonghwa just can't say no to.

"And I need to feel you, right now," Yeosang murmurs, biting his lower lip. "It's okay, you don't have to do anything. You can just finish your work. Meanwhile, I'll finish you off," Yeosang mumbles between the kisses on Seonghwa's neck. Before Seonghwa can protest, his belt has already been pulled off.

An inaudible gasp leaves Seonghwa's lips as he feels Yeosang's hand slip into his pants. There's just something so magnetizing about Yeosang, something that never fails to turn Seonghwa on no matter what. At this point he has started to think that he's become some kind of sex-addict, when it comes to Yeosang at least.

While staring deeply into each other's eyes, Seonghwa runs his fingers through Yeosang's soft hair before tangling his fingers into hit, gently tugging it as the younger's hand is moving around in Seonghwa's pants, making him feel absolutely amazing.

But just as Yeosang is about to crawl down from Seonghwa's lap, to get down on his knees instead, a knock on the door disturbs them from going any further that night.

"Ah, fuck..." Seonghwa grumbles. "Who is it?"

"It's me, Hongjoong!"

"And Yunho!"

Seonghwa and Yeosang look each other in the eyes for a couple of seconds, both greatly disappointed by being disturbed, before Yeosang removes himself and puts his shirt back on. He grabs the nearest book he can find and sits down on an empty chair next to the Seonghwa is sitting on.

"Hey, what's up?" Seonghwa forces a smile as he opens the door, cautiously making sure to hide his lower body behind the door as he peeks out at his friends.

"Hey we-... Oh, you have company? What are you guys doing?" Hongjoong asks as he looks into Seonghwa's room and sees Yeosang, who is waving awkwardly at him.

"Oh, Seonghwa was just... helping me with this assignment I was stuck on. We met at the library earlier and he offered to help me out," Yeosang quickly replies.

Hongjoong and Yunho sends each other a brief look, well aware that Yeosang and Seonghwa's lines of study don't have much in common. But Hongjoong soon shrugs his shoulders and looks at Seonghwa with a smile.

"Ah, of course. Seonghwa is the smartest person I know!" he laughs.

"Anyway, are you guys about done?" Yunho then asks. "Mingi said we should meet him in twenty minutes. Yeosang, you can come too of course. I actually think Wooyoung's gonna be there as well."

~

Twenty minutes later Seonghwa finds himself in probably the most awkward situation of his life. Mingi had arranged a surprise meet up at a nearby bar, with the girl, Sowon, he has been dating for a while now. And of course her friends, including Yerin who Seonghwa probably would have forgotten all about by now if it hadn't been for Mingi's constant nagging for him to go out with her again. Until now, Seonghwa had managed to avoid another date, but apparently Mingi had decided to take actions into his own hands.

Getting seated right between Yeosang and Yerin is absolutely horrible and Seonghwa is twisting his brain to find an excuse to leave, but he can't. Yeosang seems rather uncomfortable too and keeps glaring at Yerin whenever she leans in towards Seonghwa, smiling at him and trying to hold his hand.

"Seonghwa oppa? Wouldn't it be great if we had a date alone soon?" Yerin asks in an extra cute voice, brushing her hand against Seonghwa's for probably the 100thtime already.

Seonghwa freezes completely by her words and he notices how Yeosang cringes by the sound of the very same.

"I should get going, it's getting late," Yeosang suddenly says, about to get up from his seat.

"No! Yeosang, you need to stay!" a loud complain instantly comes from Wooyoung from across the table.

"Why?" Yeosang asks with a long sigh, clearly wondering why his presence is so important to Wooyoung who has been busy flirting with one of Yerin's girl friends.

"I want you to stay, please?" Wooyoung begs with big puppy eyes.

"I would like you to stay as well," a voice suddenly says from the other end of the table. One of Yerin's guy friends are looking at Yeosang with a charming smile, and Seonghwa glares at him with a clenched fist under the table.

Yeosang slowly turns his head and looks at Seonghwa, then Yerin and then at the guy. Seonghwa feels his heart stop the second Yerin lays her hand on his, and the look at Yeosang gives him when he is too shocked to move away could probably kill.

"I guess I'll stay a little longer then," Yeosang mumbles, moving his eyes away from Seonghwa and to the new guy.

~

Throughout the night, Seonghwa can't keep his eyes off of Yeosang and the other guy whose name apparently is Minho, not that Seonghwa cares about that at all. All he cares about is that guy staying away from Yeosang.

"They are so cute! But can I ask you something?" Yerin smiles at Seonghwa as they are standing by the bar, getting another round for the table. "Is your friend... Gay?"

Seonghwa looks at her in shock, not sure what to answer at all.

"It's okay if he is. Minho is gay, and he sure seems really interested in Yeosang. So... Wouldn't it be great if our friends started dating? They would look so good together."

Her words are like a punch in Seonghwa's stomach and he feels out of breath, almost having to support his body against the wooden bar. He turns and looks at Yeosang who has been occupied with that Minho guy for what feels like forever. When both of them rises from their seats and walk towards the door, Seonghwa excuses himself from Yerin and quickly follows. He doesn't even know why he is feeling or acting like this. Yeosang is not his boyfriend, but the thought of him being with someone else is scaring Seonghwa to death.

When he steps outside, he sees Minho and Yeosang sitting together on a bench just a couple of steps away from the bar. Everyone has been drinking quite a lot by now, and Seonghwa knows how being intoxicated can cloud one's judgment. He is afraid that it will happen to Yeosang as well. And when Minho moves closer, gently stroking Yeosang's cheek, Seonghwa walks with fast and determined steps towards them.

"Yeosang. Can I have a word with you?"

The two guys look up at Seonghwa, and Seonghwa can't deny that the two of them would look good together, just as Yerin said. Minho is a very attractive guy as well, which just worries Seonghwa even more. He definitely can't let Yeosang be alone with him.

Yeosang looks like he is just about to protest about Seonghwa's sudden interruption, but Minho just smiles while getting up.

"I'll wait for you inside," he says and runs his fingers through Yeosang's hair and down his cheek before walking back inside.

"What the hell are you doing?" Yeosang asks, clearly annoyed, as soon as Minho is gone.

"Well, what are you doing?"

Seonghwa sits down next to Yeosang on the bench, and although they've been sitting next to each other a million times by now, something feels off.

Uncomfortable.

"Seonghwa, what is it that you want? I'm forced to look at you flirt with some girl, but as soon as some guy is nice to me you act like this?"

"I-I'm not flirting with her! She is flirting with me, there's a big difference."

"Is there really? Because you sure seem to like it! Being with her would make things a lot easier for you, right?" Yeosang snorts, rolling his eyes at the same time.

"Just stop talking, Yeosang," Seonghwa growls back, agitated by the truth in the younger's last words. "It-it's nothing like that! I'm just worried about that other guy... He seems weird."

"He most certainly does not seem weird. The only one who is weird right now, is you! Tell me, what is it that you really want?" Yeosang moves himself closer to Seonghwa, his hand slowly stroking across Seonghwa's thigh while the silky soft lips are almost touching Seonghwa's neck. "Is it this?"

Seonghwa flinches back, heart in his throat, scared that anyone saw them. His eyes flicker around, while his heart pounds like crazy. Yeosang just looks at him, disappointed but not surprised. He rolls his eyes before getting up from his seat.

"Didn't think so," he says before walking into the bar again. "Why don't you just go fuck her instead then?"
