Mingyu woke up by the sunlight alone in a room that is not familiar to him. He squints his eyes against the sunlight and got somehow irritated by it. He aggressively covered his head with the white blanket. After a couple of seconds, he realized that he's alone.

He slowly removes the blanket from his head and looks at the other side of the bed. Mingyu knew that he will be gone before he wakes up because he needs to act as he studied for the whole night to his parents.

Mingyu sits up and looks around. He found his thick black eyeglass and wears it. He walks towards a big mirror and stares at his ***** body. He looks at his neck to check any kiss marks. He found some and quickly put concealer on them.

He found his clothes on the floor and started to wear something. While he's trying to wear his pants, he noticed a note on the side table. He half nakedly walked towards it.

...I'll treat you to lunch later. See you....

He read and sighed because he has been always cold. Everything is still the same except the fact that they've been doing sex for 2 years already. For Mingyu, this relationship is the reassurance that no one will reveal their secrets. Nothing much happens between them but sex.

...Two years ago......

Mingyu is excited to be on his first day as a college student in one of the prestigious universities in South Korea. He looks up and stares at the name of their university. Seoul National University.

"Are you ready?" A man asked Mingyu who is beside him.

Mingyu nodded as a response. "You?" He asked.

"More than I'll ever be." Hoshi answered while staring at the sign.

The two entered the university and began their new journey together. They both went to the orientation where the officers of their course officially welcomed them, gave them the guidelines of the school, and laid out the exciting parts of being one of them.

And then, there's one guy which made Mingyu glue his eyes on. He is the second year representative. He has a black two-block hairstyle and pale skin. He's tall but not as tall as Mingyu and he's big.

"Hello, everyone." He greeted and bowed down. "I'm Choi Seungcheol, from 2-3 of second-year level. Nice to meet you all." He added as his voice echoed in the hall.

Seungcheol began talking about what his batch did for their course and what they achieved for the past year. Everyone in the room is attentive since it's their first day.

"That's all. If you have questions, you can ask now." Seungcheol announced then he patiently waited for someone.

"I guess no on-" Seungcheol was about to conclude his time when someone beat the buzzer.

Cheol let him speak and the other senior gave him a mic. "You said that you've come up with the best ideas for our course. If that so, does that mean we should not expect anything new this year?" He asked.

Seungcheol is left speechless because he has a point after telling them that. He began panicking inside but managed not to show it.

"What's your name, Student?" Seungcheol asked.

The orientation ended and all students were on their way to their first schedule.

"What's our first subject?" Mingyu asked as he looks for his copy of his schedule in his bag while walking.

"It's general business." Hoshi answered while looking at his copy.

Mingyu gave up looking for his and shared his friend's copy. "Room what?" He asked.

The two successfully exited the building and began looking for their schedule.

"303, business building." Hoshi answered.

"Where is that again?" Mingyu asked as he looks around.

"Northeast from here." A short and paled skin guy answered him.

"Oh, really? Thank you!" Mingyu said while smiling.

"Are you one of our seniors?" Hoshi asked.

"Yep! I'm Lee Jihoon from 2-3. Just call me Woozi." He introduced and bowed down.

"Nice to meet you! And thank you for the help." Mingyu said enthusiastically.

"So, this is the person who asked me a question earlier?" A man's voice interrupted them.

"You already know my name. So, I don't need to introduce myself, right?" He asked as he walks in their direction.

Seungcheol stopped and crosses his arms as the two slowly nod their heads.

"What's your name again?" Seungcheol asked.

"Ahh, Kim Mingyu. Right?" Seungcheol answered his own question.

Seungcheol is staring at Mingyu as he feels like he found his prey.

"You're going to have fun here." Seungcheol said to the two but it sounds like it's only for Mingyu.

A week have passed since Mingyu and Hoshi entered the college life. They've been very active and passionate about everything since they're new to them. The excitement that is brought by the curiosity for more discovery is still very evident to the best friends.

"Hoshi!" Mingyu shouted as he jogs towards the hamster who is already waiting at the bus stop.

"You almost missed the bus." Hoshi stated while smiling after he removes his earphone.

"I slept late because of the assignments we have, did you finish them?" Mingyu asked while panting.

"Yep!" Hoshi answered confidently.

"Let me see later, there are things I'm still not sure about." Mingyu said and Hoshi agreed then the bus arrived.

The two went to the cafeteria while they wait for their first class. They bought some snacks while Mingyu is busy finishing his assignments.

Mingyu stopped reading Hoshi's notes and began looking at something back and forth in his notes. "Hoshi, I think your answers are wrong." Mingyu said while looking at the answers then he shifts his eyes to his friend.

"I just searched them because I'm not sure either." Hoshi confessed and laughed a little.

"Don't tell me you played computer all day." Mingyu said and Hoshi didn't respond which means he did.

Mingyu sighed. "I guess we both have to finish our own work before the class start." He said.

"Expo." Someone said which made the two startled for a bit.

Mingyu looks behind him and someone's standing there. He's a brown hair guy that obviously looks like a foreigner.

"Oh, hi. I'm sorry we didn't see you there." Mingyu said in english.

"Don't worry, I shouldn't have sneak up onto you. Also, I speak korean." The foreigner said and this made Mingyu feel embarrassed.

Mingyu noticed that he was holding a tray of food. "Do you want to join us?" Mingyu asked.

"If you don't mind." The stranger said and sat on the aisle.

The three senses the awkward atmosphere. Mingyu clears his throat before speaking. "I'm Kim Mingyu. He's..." Mingyu gave a signal to Hoshi but he didn't receive it fast.

"Oh, sorry. I'm Kwon Soonyoung but my friends call me Hoshi." Hoshi introduced. He's shy in front of new people that's why he acts too stiff.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Chwe Hansol." Vernon introduced.

"C-chuwo?" Hoshi tried to pronounce his name but he can't.

Vernon giggled on his own. "Just call me Vernon." He said while smiling.

"Who are these?" Someone spoke behind Mingyu again.

"Oh, Cheol." Vernon said and the two looked behind them.

They're surprised to see the person that Mingyu wants to see the least. He remembers how he put Seungcheol in an embarrassing situation in the orientation.

"Oh, Mr Kim and Mr Kwon." Woozi appeared behind Cheol.

"Why are you guys standing there?" A girl approached them. "Oh, are they your classmates?" The girl asked Cheol.

"No."

"Yep"

Vernon and Cheol answered it differently which made the two stares at each other.

"They're freshmen. We made friends with them." Vernon clarified.

"Oh really? Hi! I'm So Yuna!" Yuna enthusiastically introduced.

"I'm Kim Mingyu, he's Kwon Soonyoung." Mingyu introduced nervously.

"Nice to meet you! Let's sit now." Yuna said and grabbed Cheol's arm. Mingyu saw it and glanced at Cheol's face but he noticed that the Camel was looking at him. His nervousness grew. Mingyu guessed that Yuna is Cheol's girl friend.

The three sat and they began talking to each other as if the two didn't exist. They don't know how to act or what. The puppy and hamster look at each other and decide to leave.

"Guys, we need to go. We have our class." Mingyu announced nervously as they began picking their trash.

"Oh, okay. See you around." Woozi said.

Mingyu smiles at him and they're about to go when Cheol speaks. "Wait." Cheol said.

The two turned around. "Let's have them in our hideout." Cheol said which made the others in obvious shock.

"Why?" Woozi asked in a very curious tone.

"Why? Vernon said WE made friends with them." Cheol answered then shifted his gaze to Vernon who is already staring at him.

Cheol looks at the two. "Tomorrow, after class." He said and smiled at them.

The two nodded and began their way to their room with full of confusion in their heads.

After several hours, the best friends' classes ended and they started their journey to the gate where they should meet the juniors. Mingyu and Hoshi are talking about Mingyu's suspicion. The puppy seems so anxious so the hamster tried to calm him down and told him that nothings going to happen as long he's with him.

"Hey!" Someone yelled as soon as they are near the gate. It's Cheol. He's in the driver seat of his expensive black car while Woozi is beside him and Vernon is at the back, busy reading a book.

The two sophomores nervously smiled at him and made their way into the car. Cheol unlocked the doors and told them to get in. The drive is pretty awkward for Mingyu and Hoshi but because Cheol is a talkative person as well as Woozi, they're making the atmosphere less suffocating.

They stopped at a small building and the two Best friends are confused. Mingyu's thinking that the building looks old, why would Cheol own the rusty building. Cheol opened the door and looked back at the newbies. "Don't worry, it looks better inside." Cheol said then he leads the way to the basement.

The place looks so cool, the corner of the room is filled with rainbow neon lights, there are a bunch of arcade machines that's why it seems that the whole room looks like a game room. There is a mini buffet, refrigerator, and other kitchen machines. There are bean bags and camping sleeping mattresses.

The two boys look around in awe as Vernon and Woozi act like it's their house. They threw their bags at the floor and made their way to the mini buffet.

"Feel at home. Just play, rest or eat as much as you can." Cheol said while smiling. "I'll be at my room" he added and started walking away.

"Told you, there's nothing suspicious about this. Basically, he wants us just to release our stress from school." Hoshi tries to convince Mingyu to think optimistically but Mingyu is still busy looking around. Instead of nagging him, the hamster dragged him to the food buffet and they started eating.

After eating, the others are scattered around the building while Hoshi and Mingyu are together playing ping pong when suddenly he got a message from his Gay app.

He excused himself to Hoshi that he was going to the restroom. The tall guy reached the restroom after minutes of looking for it. He was amazed about the theme of the restroom. The colours are yellow and violet, scattered around like pop art.

He went to one of the stalls and opened his app.

...©#37's Chat Box...

You there?

^^^Yeah, why?^^^

R u busy?

^^^Not really. Why?^^^

Let's jerk off.

Mingyu looks around if it's safe to do it here.

^^^Sure. But I can't turn on my mic. I'm in the public restroom.^^^

That's okay.

The guy video called Mingyu and his shirt was already way up to his neck, revealing his torso while his pants are halfway down to his crotch.

After Mingyu put his air pod, the guy gasp. "Why?" Mingyu turned on his mic.

"Where are you?" The guy asked.

"Restroom like I told you." Mingyu answered.

"I mean the location." He clarified.

"Oh, I'm in my... friend's house." The puppy answered. "What's with the snoopy pillows?" Mingyu asked and giggled. "Nice taste." He teased.

The guy didn't speak for a moment which made Mingyu confused. "Are you there?" He asked.

"Yeah, let's go." The guy said and they began pleasing themselves.

After masturbating with a stranger, Mingyu came out and went to the playroom.

"That's a hell of a dump." Hoshi joked who is playing pools by himself.

Suddenly, Woozi appeared. "Guys, let's watch some movies. Come to the living room." He said. The little one was about to go. "oh, also. Look for Vernon. I can't find him." He added and went out.

The two decides to look for the foreigner as they check the rooms, door by door.

"Oh, Mingyu. Vernon is here." Hoshi announced and went inside the room.

Mingyu gets in the room, finding Vernon scrolling through his phone while sitting on the couch. The room is big and the colours are well matched.

"Vernon, Woozi said let's watch some movies." Hoshi said.

"Really? Okay, let's go." Vernon said and stood up.

While Mingyu is still fascinated about the room, the two already got out. "Yah, what are you doing? Come on!" Hoshi peaked at the door.

"Yeah, coming." Mingyu answered.

He was about to go when he noticed something. He slowly walks to the bed and stares at the pillows. They are snoopy pillows.

Mingyu goes to the living room with Hoshi and Vernon. The puppy is still bothered by the pillows. He keeps thinking if it's just a coincidence or someone in this room is the one who he met in the app.

Cheol enters the living room. "Oh, you're fast." Woozi said to Cheol.

"What do you mean?" Cheol asked and sat on the couch in the center.

"You said you're going to the restroom." Woozi said.

"Yeah, why?"

"For 5 seconds?" Woozi asked as if it's very unusual.

"Why do you even care how long I am in the restroom?" Cheol asked out of frustration and Woozi didn't respond.

The others began to discuss which movie they should watch but there was one person who is busy thinking.

"Mingyu!" Hoshi called as he pushes him on his shoulder.

"Oh? What?" Mingyu asked out of confusion while looking around.

"I've been calling you for the nth time." Hoshi said.

Mingyu noticed that everyone was looking at him. He looks at them one by one which made the atmosphere awkward.

"Yah, what are you doing?" Hoshi asked while laughing awkwardly. "We're asking if you have any movies you want to watch." He added.

"No, you guys decide." Mingyu said as he looks at the screen in front of them.

Whether he's here or not, Mingyu feels that he must be careful because he cannot let anyone know his sexuality.

After hours of bonding in Cheol's hideout, Mingyu, Hoshi, and Vernon decided to go home. Woozi is staying in.

"If Woozi is staying, where would he sleep?" Hoshi asked while they were walking to the bus stop.

"Oh, we have our own rooms there because we're there most of the time since we met Seungcheol. So, Cheol let us build our own space since he basically lives there alone." Vernon answered.

Mingyu began to investigate the others. He assumed that the snoopy pillows he saw earlier are his. "You really love Snoopy, aren't you?" Mingyu joked and nervously laughed.

"Yeah. It's my childhood." Vernon answered while smiling.

Mingyu starts to feel that it's Vernon who he has been video calling but he still needs more evidence to prove that it is him.

Days have passed, Mingyu's focus diverted from his studies to finding the person he met in the app. Currently, he has been investigating Vernon. Casually talking to him while low-key finding out things about him, yet none of them helps him because all he knows is the guy's body and \*\*\*\*.

Mingyu sighed while playing with his lunch. "Mingyu, are you okay? You're not eating your food." Hoshi asked and Vernon heard this.

"Oh, I just don't have any appetite." Mingyu answered plainly.

"Why? Did something happen?" Vernon joined the conversation.

Mingyu looks at him. He realised that he has been overly focused on Vernon to the point that it tires him out. "No, Hyung. I'm okay, I ate earlier." He answered.

"Cheol, I'm going to the hideout. I left something." Woozi said.

"Yah, you don't have to tell me. Just go, I'll go there anyway." Cheol said and Mingyu heard this.

"Yah, when can I go to your hideout? It's been a while since the last time I asked. You said soon." Yuna asked and whined.

"Babe, all of us are guys. Also, that's why it's a hideout. MY hideout, meaning boys only." Cheol explained, emphasizing the word My.

"Fine." Yuna said in defeat.

"C-Can I go too?" Mingyu said nervously as he raises his hand and Hoshi looks at him in surprise.

"Okay, sure." Cheol approved.

"Why don't we just all go?" Vernon asked and everyone agreed.

Song recommendation: Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin - For you

The guys arrived at the hideout an hour ago and Mingyu had been busy investigating every room.

"Yah." Hoshi appeared at the end of the hallway calling Mingyu. "What are you doing? I've been looking for you." Hoshi asked as he walks towards Mingyu who is busy looking around.

"Why?" Mingyu asked without bothering to look at his friend.

"They want to drink. Come on." Hoshi answered.

"You go first. I'll catch up." Mingyu said and finally looked at him.

"You better be." Hoshi said and walked away.

After some minutes, Mingyu decides to go now but then he saw Vernon's room. He enters and looks at the Snoopy pillows. He wants to look around but his moral thinks it's bad to touch things in someone's house. So, he gave up and went to the dining room where they will drink.

The whole little party was just them being drunk while playing drinking games. Mingyu also forgot the reason why he wanted to go here in the first place. The party was going well when Vernon began to throw up and ended up puking on Cheol.

When Vernon finally realised what he did, he begins to apologize to the pale guy and he sobers up.

"I'm going now, I'll take a bath. Vernon, you better wash these clothes." Cheol announced and left the room.

"Mingyu, bring this bag to my room. I'll just finish my business at the restroom." Vernon said as he hands him his shoulder black bag and he runs to the restroom.

Mingyu began his way to Vernon's room. When he arrived there, the door was open. He enters and heard the shower is on. The puppy put the bag on the floor and quietly went to the shower to look who it is.

He carefully opens the door, enough for him to peak. Then, he saw that it was Cheol. He wonders why is he showering in Vernon's room. He peaks back to the bathroom and his eyes begins to travel to his body.

In his point of view, Cheol's back is facing the door. Mingyu admires his buffed body and his big butt.

"Mingyu, what are you doing there?" Suddenly, Vernon arrived.

Mingyu was startled to the point that he literally jumped. He looked back at the bathroom and Cheol heard him. The puppy rushes towards Vernon and drags him outside.

"What are you doing there?" Vernon asked again.

"I was just curious who's showering in your room. So, I peak." Mingyu explained.

"Wait, wait. What? You think that's my room?" Vernon asked in confusion.

"Yeah. Why?" Mingyu asked as he begins to feel that he's missing something.

"That's Seungcheol's room." Vernon answered.

"Then why does Seungcheol have Snoopy pillows?" Mingyu asked as he begins to panic.

"Because I gave them to him." Vernon answered. "Yah, what's wrong with you and the snoopy pillows?" He asked out of confusion and frustration.

After that incident, Mingyu thinks of a plan to reveal everything. He went to the restroom and chatted the guy in the app.

...©#37's Chatbox...

^^^Hey, you there?^^^

Yeah, why?

^^^Can we video call?^^^

Someone seems horny huh?

^^^Yeah, very.^^^

He didn't reply for a minute.

What about we meet each other?

^^^I don't do meet up remember?^^^

We don't have to meet up because you're already here.

This made Mingyu confused and weird out by his reply. He was about to type when the door of the stall flew open.

"I told you, we don't need to meet up because you're already here."
