"Yo, Lee Seokmin! What's up?!" Seungkwan called out in English, his heavy Jeju accent slurring his speech. Seokmin waved at him.

Hansol, who was walking next to the loud boy, rolled his eyes, and Seokmin distinctly heard Hansol insulting Seungkwan's English, earning a slap from the older boy. When the pair reached Seokmin, Seungkwan slung his arm around him and gave him a mischievous look. Seokmin glanced back at him warily, unsure of what Seungkwan's look meant.

"So, how's that lover boy of yours, hm?" Seungkwan asked, leaning into Seokmin annoyingly.

Seokmin shoved Seungkwan off of him. He had told his friends about his crush on Jisoo a few days ago, and ever since, they'd been teasing him nonstop. They would even talk about it at lunch in front of Jisoo, but they wouldn't mention his name, leading Jisoo to continuously interrogate Seokmin about whom he had a crush on.

"Why don't you ask him yourself?" Seokmin replied, glaring at Seungkwan.

"Well, I don't see him around, so I figured the next best person to ask would be his boyfriend," Seungkwan taunted, smirking at Seokmin challengingly.

"Quite unlike yourself, Jisoo happens to be straight," Seokmin replied, disappointment evident in his words.

"What are you talking about? I am straight," Seungkwan lied jokingly. Seokmin and Hansol looked at him incredulously.

"Really? You weren't last night," Hansol retorted, finally breaking into the conversation.

He immediately blushed after he realized what he had said, as if he himself couldn't believe the words that had just come out of his mouth. Seungkwan shot his boyfriend a lovesick grin.

"Disgusting. I don't need to know what you two idiots do in your free time," Seokmin complained fondly, though he felt a pang of jealousy as he looked at the happy couple. If only he and Jisoo could be like that...

A sudden force slammed into Seokmin's back, clinging to his waist and hugging him tightly. Seokmin let out a frightened, girlish scream, and Hansol and Seungkwan laughed at him.

"Am I really that scary?" a smooth voice spoke into Seokmin's ear while soft hair brushed against his neck. Was that Jisoo's voice?

Seokmin turned his head, and surely enough, Jisoo's beaming face was looking up at him teasingly. Speak of the devil. Seokmin glanced down at Jisoo's lips, then realized the proximity of their faces and quickly moved away, a deep blush spreading across his face.

Jisoo let out a moan of complaint when Seokmin separated his body from Jisoo's, and he surged forward, hugging the younger boy again. A surprised look set across Seokmin's face, and after a few moments of hesitation, he placed his arms around Jisoo, patting his back awkwardly.

"You're so warm," Jisoo mumbled into Seokmin's shoulder. Seokmin finally noticed the goosebumps on Jisoo's arms, and he held the older boy closer, his face burning red.

"Wait a second, here we go," Seokmin muttered as he unzipped his coat and wrapped it around Jisoo and himself. Jisoo nuzzled himself closer into Seokmin.

Over Jisoo's shoulder, Seokmin saw Seungkwan standing with Soonyoung, who seemed to have joined them, as they mouthed things to Seokmin furiously and made suggestive gestures.
