[ But I'll see you, it's not a problem:) >

I laugh in front of my screen but enter my room, and I close the door behind me. "Late again. I wonder who keeps you away so much," my roommate mentions to tease me since he knows who this someone is. I smile but take my shoes off to head to my bed and sit down. "I was studying at the library with her."

"What's her name?" he peeks up from his book, combing his hair back. "Y/n."

"Hm," he grins and looks down at his work. "That's a pretty name."

"She's pretty too," I do not keep it to myself, and he sneers, knowing I am getting soft for her. "Every girl we have a crush on is always the prettiest girl to us."

"Even if I didn't have a crush on her, I'd think the same," I drop my school bag on the floor. "I believe you."

The feeling of my phone vibrating on my bed makes me reach out for it and take a break from playing to my ps5, but another vibration follows the first one in a short second.

[ do you know how many girls would love to see me in their dreams? >

[ I'm jk. I'm not arrogant, I'm just trying to defend myself because you always attack me! >

[ thanks for feeling bad for it. Go to bed and have the worst nightmare ever, damn brat >

[ I don't want to wake up in a sweat >

[ you think😂 >

[ have a good night too, even if you don't deserve it >

I smile but lock my phone, not forgetting the fact that she called me 'muscular man'. I should go to bed as well, I do not want to be tired tomorrow again.

I turn the console off and lay my controller on my bedside table but take a look at Chiwon. He is not sleeping yet but being on his phone. "Are you not playing anymore?" he asks me, not seeing my features or body in the dark now that the TV is switched off. "I'm not. Why?" I grab my phone, but he blindly looks in my direction. "Can I take it and play on my TV a little?"

"If you're careful with the controller and use your account, yeah," I do not refuse since I know he cannot afford one. "Thanks," he happily leaves his bed but turns one lamp on to discern what is around him, and he gets to my belonging.

Wondering if y/n is asleep, I go on Instagram and look for a picture that I could post. I do not want something too racy, so I pick the one I took while playing earlier, this one that shows my controller over my crotch and my legs in my grey sweatpants that always hit a weak spot into girls. I add a caption 'game night👌' and post it.

Once this is done, I check y/n's Instagram to see if there are new comments and see if that guy that Kimoon talked about might be there. I see girls comments that compliment her, also one guy who is always there. I wonder who he is. I go on his account but receive a notification that catches my attention more than the others.

Y/n is awake. She just liked my post.

I go back on the picture that I shared and take a look at the comments but see that I am already at two hundred likes. I read the comment that Hojun left.

_ is it your new dildo? _

_ _ yeah, it vibrates so good you should get one _ _

I do not even fear to answer him with this since I know he is just a dumbass, and I read the other comments that are from the girls.

_ can I be the controller?😳 _

_ youre hot without doing anything. How?! _

_ let's play together some day❤ _

_ I wanna be your girlfriend and sit on your lap while youre playing:( _

I ignore the rest of the comments once I receive a dm from Hojun but laugh at how stupid he is.

_ im too poor to pay 900 dollars for this shit man. My hand is free _

_ _ my fleshlight is better _ _

_ wanna use your fleshlight on me daddy?😏 _

_ _ stop making me horny _ _

I hold back from laughing to make sure Chiwon does not ask me why.

_ ill suck your dick to get that ps5 bro _

_ _ as if sucking my dick was not a gift already _ _

No more message gets sent from him, so I text y/n since I know she liked my post instead of sleeping.

[ what are you doing on my Insta, stalker? >

The sight of a new message from Hojun makes me go back on that conversation, but I stumble upon a nude, but he leaves a new comment on my post, so I hurry to check to understand this.

_ Oops. I sent you a nude in dm by accident, it was supposed to be for my girlfriend, sorry:) _

I know exactly what he is doing. He knows Gayoon is still checking my posts for sure, and he is just provoking her.

As soon as I see y/n's text, I leave this and focus on her.

[ oh sorry, but you liked it tho >

[ sleep now >

[ goodnight and dream of me >

I do not say anything more to leave her alone and make sure I am not the reason why she remains on her phone, and I lock mine, plug it in, and I put it down on my bedside table to go to bed as well.

— Next day —

I get out of the bathroom after taking my shower and brushing my teeth, and I head to my bed, with a pair of jeans on, to grab my belt and put it on.

"I'm going out tonight, so I won't come back until, at least, midnight. Okay?" Chiwon warns me in case I might get worried, and I nod, put my black, long sleeve t-shirt to tuck it in my pants and close my belt. Then I take hold of my phone and bag to move towards the door and put my sneakers on.

Once I am ready, I make sure to put my black oversized zip-up hoodie, grab my cup of coffee, and say goodbye to leave the room and go downstairs. I make fast since I am late, and I put my hood on as soon as I step outside to reduce the cold impact on my body as much as possible.

I step towards Kimoon who is chatting with his friend, and I join them but get greeted right away. "Hey," he interrupts their conversation. "Hey," I answer in a husky voice without even expecting it, and I continue to sip on my coffee but look around us while they are both talking.

Not even five seconds are enough to find y/n. I have not forgotten about what she has done yesterday, so I am still planning on taking revenge for sure this time. Unfortunately for me, she is focused on her phone.

I keep my eyes on her even if she is not returning it, and I look her up and down, loving the fact that our clothes match. She is even cuter in this black oversized hoodie and checked skirt.

"Yeah, see you later," Kimoon says goodbye to his friend who left, so I now glance down and avoid getting caught. "How was it yesterday?" he asks me. I am not even surprised to hear this question. "Great. That was cool."

"Hm. You both seem closer," he does not miss to talk about what he saw, and I smile. "We are, I guess. I mean, I feel like we were already close before even though there was nothing but eye contact."

"Well, eye contact can be very intimate, you know," he tells me, making me believe we had some sort of indirect connection. "I agree," Hojun chimes in the conversation without warning, and we both peek at him. "I made eye contact with that girl the other day at a club, and you know what?" he gives us both a look, asking us to make him say more, and we do it. "I went up to her because I could feel that we both wanted each other, and once I approached her and asked her if she wanted to have a drink, she glared at me and said 'Stop staring at me, you creep' and made me feel like shit for the rest of the day."

I do not chuckle in front of him to not break his heart into smaller pieces, but Kimoon does not give a damn about that, he lets it out. "I said 'it can be'. It's not always intimate, especially if you don't do it with the right person."

"Yeah...I understood...thank you," the bitterness that remains in his throat since then worsens, and I look away to grin. "Why did she slap you yesterday though?" he asks to know as well since he did not hear anything, so I slide the straw away from my lips to quickly answer. "We were just annoying each other."

"Already at the flirt stage, I see," his assumptions make me smile and shake my head. I do not want to deny it. I do try to flirt but do it as subtly as I can. I feel like the eye contacts we had caused so much tension that I cannot get her out of my mind at all.

•••

I take another gummy candy out of the bag that I placed on my crotch to eat my treat, sitting on a bench with my best friends to stay outside. "Bro, I think we should have hung out tonight and not last night," Hajoon complains while eating his Burger Kind food. "I fell asleep during art history, and I can't keep my eyes open as soon as we're in class."

"Honestly, same," Kimoon agrees, these two not caring about their grades as much as do. I do not enter this conversation since I do not have anything to say but take another bite into my candy, and I put my other hand in a pocket of my jeans, spread my legs to get more comfortable, and look at the students who are near us while holding the rest of the strawberry candy close to my lips.

"What are you going to do tonight, Kook?" the brown-haired boy next to me ruins the peacefulness, chewing on his burger a bit too loudly. "Sleep a lot."

"Ugh...I forgot you were a baby," he judges me, not knowing what it is. "You'd know how it feels like if you were studying as much as I do."

"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to offend you," he does not reply to me but only find a way to defend himself, and I suck on the piece of candy in my mouth but glance at him.

"What?" he moves his chin up to look down on me, and I smirk. "You're ridiculous," I never keep my legs still, making them go in opposite direction from left to right. "And close those legs, hoe."

I giggle but swallow what is in my mouth. "I thought you wanted to suck my dick. Uh?" I remind him of what he sent me by text last night, but he ignores me for a few seconds, pulling the tomatoes out of his snack with his teeth to eat it. "It's just a bro thing," he drops his hand on my crotch and sets his eyes on mine, but I do not even bother pushing it away. I am way too lazy today. "I just wanna give you a hand and make sure you're not stressed, see how good of a friend I am?" he rubs me over my pants. "I know you'd never do it because if you do, I'm never going to leave you alone but remind you that you got on your knees for me."

"He already saw you naked, or with a boner, this cocksucker would get on his knees to get it no matter the consequences," Kimoon states facts that I hate to agree with, and Hojun takes his hand off of me to bite in his snack. "I just know what's worth it."

"You just want his dick in your mouth," he fixes his eyes on him but gives him a judging look, making Hojun feel it and gaze back at him. "And? What's wrong about that?"

"Don't say you're not gay then," he starts an argument again, glaring at each other. "There's nothing gay about this..."

"I'd never put a dic-"

"Hey," a female voice that I now know by heart, cuts him off, and we all turn our heads towards her.
