The Next Day – Awkward Study Session
Jisung arrives at the library, grumbling to himself. Minho’s already there, looking way too relaxed.
Lee Know
“I was starting to think you chickened out.”
Han Jisung
“No, I was debating whether this essay is worth my sanity.”
Lee Know
"You have sanity?"
Han Jisung
"Do you want to survive this project?"
Lee Know
Minho chuckles but doesn’t push further. Instead, he slides his notebook toward Jisung. “I wrote something. Tell me what you think.”
Jisung hesitates before reading. The words hit harder than he expects.
Unspoken feelings aren’t just about romance. Sometimes, they’re about the things you wanted to say but never could.
They’re about moments lost, friendships ruined, and the fear of speaking up when it matters most.
Jisung’s throat tightens.
Han Jisung
"...Did you write this?"
Han Jisung
Jisung looks at him carefully. "This… isn’t about us, right?"
Lee Know
Minho’s smirk falters for just a second. “What do you think?”
Jisung opens his mouth to answer—but nothing comes out.
Because deep down, he already knows.
Jisung can’t stop thinking about Minho’s words.
Even after they wrap up the study session, even after he goes home—it lingers.
He stares at his phone, fingers hovering over Minho’s contact.
Should he ask? Should he bring it up?
But before he can decide—
For a split second, his heart stops.
Lee Know
💬 You’re overthinking again, aren’t you?
Jisung stares. How does he always know?
He hesitates, then types back.
Han Jisung
💬 No Okay, maybe …Shut up.
Lee Know
💬 Just go to sleep, dumbass.
Jisung exhales. His chest feels lighter.
Even after everything—Minho’s still here.
The next day, Jisung almost convinces himself that things are fine.
Because the second he steps into the hallway—he freezes.
Someone is standing by his locker.
Someone he never wanted to see again.
Jisung’s breath catches. His whole body locks up.
Jihoon turns, smiling like nothing’s wrong.
Kang Jihoon
“Jisungie. It’s been a while.”
Jisung’s hands clench into fists. His chest feels tight, his mind screaming at him to run.
And for the second time in two days—
Jisung is absolutely terrified.
