jake smiled while scrolling through his twitter post for his best friend. all of his mutuals are congratulating jay, and he's really happy for his achievement. he watched jay play soccer since middle school and he's going to make a great leader.

he stops scrolling when his eyes caught something amusing. my roomie? babie? jake frowned a bit. they call each other like this? it's cringey.

now that i've noticed it, jay always calls sunoo his baby. did he give birth to him or something? he rolled his eyes and turned off his phone.

i bet he likes to get all touchy with sunoo, too.

jake remembered how surprised jay's reaction was when he gave him a kiss on his cheek. well, he wasn't supposed to do that but he just got a little too excited. it's not like best friends don't kiss each other, right?

jake didn't get to talk to jay after that because he went off somewhere else, saying that he still has a class.

he chuckled when jay's face flashed on his memory. he was really shocked that i kissed him, it's like he didn't know how to react.

now that i think about it, it's probably the first time that i kissed my best friend. jake shrugs, it wasn't a big deal anyway. although seeing jay's cute reaction makes jake want to do it again.

"jake hyung!"

a bit startled, jake stops walking down the halls of the main atrium building of the university. he looks around and sees jungwon waving to him while carrying a box of bondpaper.

"hey won," he smiled when the boy reached closer to him. "you look busy."

"i'm doing some inventory and our editor in chief wants me to bring some extra bondpaper because apparently he doesn't want to use the ones inside our headquarters." jungwon raised the box and put on a sarcastic smile. "i'm not that busy."

yeah, he looks like he's gonna have a meltdown soon. "wow, you hate it don't you?"

he sighed. "yeah. i mean journalism is chill sometimes, but sunghoon gives a lot of chores."

jake nodded, empathizing with the younger. not to judge but sunghoon does look like he has a bad personality.

"then how about you just leave that org?" he grinned at jungwon. "you could join us! you know that jay's the captain now, right? he could let you join even without opening tryouts!"

jungwon shakes his head, looking scared. "i appreciate the offer, hyung. but i suck at sports and i just hate balls."

jake whispers a soft oh, and smiles at him. "well you could try other clubs as well..."

"no, i can't quit this org or else he'll have my head chopped off and displayed on a silver platter. that's how much he hates me." jungwon started walking again, "i'm gonna head first, hyung. see you around!"

was he referring to sunghoon? jake had his brows knitted in confusion while waving goodbye to the younger.

"he kissed me! can you believe that?" jay keeps pacing back and forth inside the journalism headquarters.

"you've been saying that for like ten times since you got here. i'd be an idiot if i say i don't believe you." sunghoon says with a boring tone while flipping through their newly published newspaper.

"he's never been that touchy when it comes to me- i mean, i'm used to him clinging to my arms like a monkey..." jay plops into the sofa bed. "but kissing me?"

sunghoon groaned. he already had a bad morning to start his day, and doesn't want to hear whatever his friend has to say.

"he kissed you. on your cheek, jay. that's like equivalent to me kissing my mother. plus i kiss sunoo like that every time i want to bite his cheeks."

"you suck at giving advice." jay throws him a judging look.

sunghoon takes off his eyeglasses. "oh so you want an advice? from me? well okay then, i can give you one if you really want to."

"actually, never mind-" jay gets cut off from talking.

"that kiss? it probably wasn't a big deal to jake. he's happy with you being the new captain so i'm guessing that he was just excited, the reason why he kissed you. or maybe he actually has feelings for you. but then how would you know when you're just here in front of me blabbering about it?"

"you're here assuming things, thinking of every possible reason there is as to why jake kissed you, but nothing's going to happen anyway. nothing will happen for as long as you don't tell him that you like him."

sunghoon's laugh sounded like a mockery. "there, i said it. congratulations on being the team captain by the way."

oh, wow. that was a lot.

jay blinks, slowly processing what sunghoon just said. it sounded like a motivational speech to him, just without the motivation part.

"thanks for congratulating me. and uh, you do have a point- minus all those offensive words you just said." he smiled with hesitation.

"i always have a point, dumbass." sunghoon replied with a muffled voice while his head is lying down on his table. "i want to kill someone today."

yikes, it's one of those days. jay cleared his throat and packed his things back inside his duffel bag.

"well, i just hope that it won't be me." he snickered. "i think you just need some caffeine. want me to buy you coffee?"

"yes please." sunghoon sighed. coffee sounds legal than killing someone off.

sunoo:

why tf would u want to move in

sunghoon:
no reason
i'm just bored 🤷🏻

jay:
so heeseung's going to move in the room right beside us?
is that final?

sunoo:
maybe, if he'd agree to it

heeseung:
yeah sure
thanks sunoo 😊
tell the landlord that i'll come by sometime to check the room

jay:
why

heeseung:
???
why what

jay:
sorry lol hahaha wrong send my bad
but uhm
u sure u don't want to check out other apartment complexes?

sunoo:
why would he lol
the room beside ours is great too

heeseung:
sunoo's right
i mean, why would i check out others when there's the best one in front of me? 😊

jay:
but how'd u know that it's the best when u clearly haven't seen the others?

heeseung:
i'll take my chances
life's about taking risks anyway :)

jay:
ok fine
it's your choice anw

sunghoon:
uhm okay
we're still talking about apartments here right 🧍🏻‍♂️

jay:
ofc we are? dumb af 🙄

sunghoon:
i'm letting that slide bc u bought me coffee 🙃

sunoo:
jay bought you coffee? wow what did you do to deserve that

sunghoon:
i had an ugly morning
and jay kind of made me his human diary earlier
oh and i gave him advice 🥰😌 #therapist

jay:
???? yeah sure
but for the record, you'd probably get fired on your first day as a therapist

sunoo:
nooooo why would u ask sunghoon for advice when i'm right here????? 😭😠

sunghoon:
he doesn't need advice from a person who's in a healthy relationship

heeseung:
why do you need advice anyway?

jay:
well
it's none of your business ☺️

sunghoon:
oh don't ask him
he's too shy to admit it
also bc it's not a big deal 🫢

heeseung:
oh okay then
i just hope you gave him decent advice

sunghoon:
trust me hee, i did 😉
i somehow wished y'all heard me say those words to him
it was like a gospel 🙏🕊️

jay:
yeah it was
words of wisdom coming from the mouth of st. sunghoon patron of gultripping and gaslighting 😇🙏

sunghoon:
see? he's already absorbing my words 🥰

sunoo:
idk what y'all are smoking but i want none of that shit 😐
