"I kinda... fell for someone else." Yeosang gulps.

"So... who is it?", I inquire before I have thought it through if this is really my business.

Yeosang bites down on his bottom lip, then looks down at his lap, blushing. "My... my flatmate. San."

Oh.


"What do you wanna do about it?" I hope he doesn't notice how tense my voice suddenly sounds.

Yeosang inhales deeply. "I was planning on... telling him. Just letting him know. And maybe, if he wants to... take him on a date sometime soon?"

Oh.

"Sounds..." ... terrible. "... like a good plan", I force myself to say. I'll get over it. There are other cute guys at this uni too, I try to console myself. I didn't even talk to San since Monday last week. Yeosang is the one who knows him better, even lives with him.

They'd probably be perfect together.

I hate how I'm wanting two contradicting things at the same time: being a good, supporting friend to Yeosang – and getting a shot at with San myself.

"Good." Yeosang cracks a weak smile. "I'm actually kinda... nervous. I wanted to tell him this morning already, but he was gone before I even got out of my room, so... yeah."

"There's nothing wrong with being nervous", I tell him. San might even like him back. "And the sooner you tell him the sooner you've got it off your chest, right?"

Yeosang swallows, then nods slightly. "Yeah. I guess so."

San looks up from his plate, both surprised and uneasy when he sees Yeosang approaching their table in the cafeteria. "Shit", he mutters, interrupting Yunho's story about how he and Mingi were on some party last weekend, dancing so enthusiastically that they knocked over a table.

"Huh, what is it, Sannie?" Yunho ignores the glare San throws him at the nickname and looks around instead.

Jongho turns around to San, questioning. "It's just your flatmate – what's the problem?"
