it seemed as if a week had gone by already. hoseok, jeongguk didn't mind him that much. he wasn't touchy except there were occasional side hugs, but he said it was because the person was there. jeongguk wasn't able to figure out who it was. on the contrary, he was lucky that yoongi didn't find out as well.

but then again, yoongi was busy. he was always busy now. it seemed as if he had no time for jeongguk, despite them who had started dating just a little over a week ago. don't get jeongguk wrong, he loved yoongi, but he didn't want to see him hurt, so doing what hoseok asked him to was his only option.

it was another rainy day for the college campus. finals were coming up, so it was common to see students carrying books from the library. jeongguk didn't have many finals, but he was definitely dreading the medical safety final. if he recalled, the professor said that they'd have to be drawing blood from a fake person. jeongguk wasn't okay with this, but he had to get through it.

umbrella in hand, he headed towards his class. today was supposed to be the last day with him "dating" hoseok, and yoongi was coming to see him after class, too. today was looking up to him. he was bouncing, despite the pouring rain, he felt happy. bag in hand, he found the building and entered, making his way to his class.

he entered with a huge smile. setting his bag down in the usual corner he always did. he felt a pair of arms slip around his waist, and all color drained from his face. he'd been too happy that it was the last day that he forgot he still had to go along with it. he grabbed hoseok's hands, whispering to him.

“last day, right?”

“if all goes according to plan, yes, and then you'll have your precious boyfriend back.”

“good. he's coming after class and i've never been happier.”

jeongguk couldn't see the smirk that grew upon hoseok's face at that sentence. hoseok left him standing there. yes, it may have seemed all was downhill, but he didn't think that. today was his day! he was going to make it his best!

the professor walked in, and class started. they worked on the choreography for the performance. they took occasional short breaks, jeongguk "pretending" to be hoseok's boyfriend. it was probably someone in their dance class, jeongguk thought, cause it only happened then.

they got back to work, and danced for the rest of class. it was fun, but very sweaty, and the window had definitely fogged up. the class ended, and the window finally cooled down. jeongguk headed back over hoseok, who held him by his waist. jimin, yugyeom, and hoseok spoke while jeongguk kept quiet, but sent glances outside the window every now and then.

yoongi was late.

“so, hoseok, are you and jeongguk really dating? like as a couple?” yugyeom asked. jimin looked down in guilt.

“yep, we are,” hoseok said with a curt smile, pulling jeongguk closer. jeongguk, at this point, was getting uncomfortable. he couldn't glance back now, he had to make it seem genuine. he didn't like how close they were. hoseok glanced back before pulling jeongguk by his hips and kissing him, right on the lips.

--

“so, yoongi, hear me out, but how about getting flowers for jeongguk?”

“only if he passes the medical safety final, namjoon, he deserves the whole world if he does.”

they turned the corner, walking up to jeongguk's class. he cursed himself for being late. he just had been so busy preparing for finals he had lost track of time. he saw the window, but didn't rush.

right as he came into view of the class, he froze. he saw jeongguk in someone's arms, being held by the waist, talking to yugyeom and jimin.

“yoongi, what's wro-”

namjoon froze at the sight of it too. they saw the person holding jeongguk glance back. there was a smirk. hoseok. damn hoseok. yoongi clenched his fist. was jeongguk already bored of him? before he could storm away, he was forced to watch hoseok kiss his boyfriend. his heart shattered into millions of pieces.

jeongguk glanced back towards him, he face flushing with fear. hoseok was smirking all the while. yoongi ran off, only to save his hurting heart. namjoon stood there. this wasn't jeongguk. for the two years he and jeongguk had been together, it was obvious jeongguk was loyal. he would never try to betray someone's heart.

would he?
