Is this who I think it is….
“Sunghoon, are you the one of the people who commented on my post?” Heeseung asks as he plops down on the chair which lets out a loud squeak under his weight. He finished his last class of the day and decided to join Sunghoon for a lunch break.
“What?” Sunghoon asks with his brow furrowed. Oh right it’s not like Sunghoon knew he anonymously confessed he was into Sim Jaeyun on the universities forum.
Heeseung grabs his phone from the back of his pocket and pulls up the post he made. Sunghoon shoots him an unimpressed look right after. “You’re lame and a coward.”
“No this is called making moves,” Heeseung rolls his eyes and continues to scroll through the app. It’s a place where students can say anything they want and choose to stay anonymous or expose themselves. And some people are clearly way too comfortable. But it’s a fun way to know all the haps on campus. And also a good way to find out about Jaeyun without making seriously embarrassing advances on the said boy.
“What moves? You’re just coming off as a creep,” Sunghoon scoffs and Heeseung takes offense in this. He is not a creep! He just doesn’t want to come off as a shy lovestruck virgin boy who can’t form words when he’s face to face with his crush.
Unfortunately for Heeseung, he already came off that way. Like the one time he had to introduce himself to the class and the moment he locked eyes with Jaeyun he stuttered so hard he had to force himself to shut up. Or the other time the professor assigned them into groups for a class activity and when Jaeyun came up to him he got startled so bad he accidentally wacked his apple pencil off his tablet sending it flying a few desks over. And to make things worse, he knocked his water bottle with his foot while getting up to fetch his pencil and it clanged loudly on the floor. The list goes on and Heeseungs is too embarrassed to recall half of them.
“Well good thing it's anonymous so no one knows it's me!”
“Except that one person who commented under your post,” Sunghoon points out. “Actually, let me try something.” Heeseung watches as the latter types away on his phone. “Ok check the app.”
“Anonymous”
Who do you guys think is the anon that’s interested in sim jaeyun???
Heeseung rolls his eyes when he sees the newest post. However, he doesn’t expect the comments that come right after.
“Anonymous”
Who do you guys think is the anon that’s interested in sim jaeyun???

↳“Anonymous” commented:

↳“Anonymous” commented:
I think it's that guy with the blonde hair he’s cute tho
No fucking way. Is Heeseung that obvious?
“Holy shit,” Sunghoon marvels at the comments. “You’re kinda famous.” Heeseung lets out a deep sigh and runs his hands through his blonde locks. So much for staying anonymous. He just hopes Jaeyun isn’t on the app because he just made it ten times worse for himself. There’s no way he’s getting a chance with the latter now.
Heeseung is lucky he doesn’t get anymore replies and no one is evil enough to drop his name. So really, he learns his lesson and decides not to fuck with that app. He also works on toning it down and keeps his interactions with jaeyun to zero. Heeseung is scared he’ll end up making a bigger fool of himself than he already has. It’s kind of hard though since the latter sits in front of him and the professor loves to make the students discuss with each other. He even thought about dying his hair to black but that’s a little much. Plus, he likes his blonde hair and other people seem to like it too.
He was going strong with his little plans for a good two weeks and he felt proud of himself. Heeseung managed to dodge all interactions with Jaeyun. Whenever they had to do class discussions, he would turn around to talk to the person behind him. He was extra careful with the things on his desk making sure nothing gets knocked down and even leaves the class right when the professor announces its end. And it’s not like they really interacted before this. They didn’t unless it was something for class. But Heeseung is just paranoid that Jaeyun will see right through him just like other people have. He would rather not let it get to that point. However, the universe loves to fuck him in the ass because they get assigned a midterm project and Heeseungs name is paired with Jaeyun. He doesn’t even read the other two names in his group, too stuck up on the thought that his life is going to end.
Fuck the universe. Fuck the professor. Fuck himself. Fuck that stupid ass app. Ignorance is bliss, he shouldn’t have made that post on the forum. He would’ve lived a happier life not knowing that people know he’s into sim jaeyun. Fuck it all! Jaeyun probably knows as well.
Heeseungs thoughts get interrupted by a perfect, heavenly voice. “Hey, want to exchange our numbers for the project?”
He stares blankly for a few seconds, entranced by the beauty that is front of him. “Oh sure,” he responds and Jaeyun hands his phone. Heeseung is surprised he didn’t stutter but his nerves show in the way his fingers shakily tap his digits into the phone. After he’s done, he hands the phone back.
“Thanks Heeseung,” Jaeyun chimes with a bright smile and Heeseung offers an awkward one. He couldn’t offer much of a response back when his mind was racing with thoughts he couldn’t suppress. He knows my name! He’s so fucking beautiful I think I might cry or die or both. He knows I’m Heeseung! Wait he knows I’m Heeseung, oh fuck. Now his thoughts are ruined.
“Ok I’ll text you guys about the project later!” Jaeyun says when the other people finish inserting their numbers. Heeseung nods his head in response, scared that if he opens his mouth it’ll let out something stupid, then leaves the lecture hall.
He manages to stay calm and composed on the ten minute walk back to his dorm. But once he slips into the door to his apartment and catches a glimpse of sunghoon in the kitchen his whole body relaxes. “I think I should just die.”
“Um,” Sunghoon shoots him a concerned look before switching his attention back to his phone.
“Are you not going to ask me what got me feeling this way?”
“No, because I know you’ll tell me.”
Heeseung rolls his eyes, he’s right. “I got assigned a group project and guess who's in my group? It’s sim motherfucking jaeyun.” Sunghoon starts clapping his hands with a smug look. “Why are you clapping?!”
“Because I’m happy for you!” Sunghoon exclaimed with a smile on his face. Heeseung can’t tell if it’s genuine or fake. “You can finally make some moves!”
Heeseung groans loudly and pulls out his phone to scroll through the app. Maybe he’ll feel better if he sees other people post about their miserable lives. He ends up regretting it soon after he sees the most recent post.
“Anonymous”
Update! Heeseung and Jaeyun are partners on a group project!

Finally some progress omg
“Really Sunghoon?” Heeseung deadpans and Sunghoon already knows what he’s talking about.
“Someones gotta keep the crowd entertained and that happens to be me,” the latter throws his hands up in defense.
“My love life is not entertainment”
“It’s not even a love life to begin with!”
Heeseung doesn’t know how to respond, Sunghoon is right as always so he just flips him off and makes his way to his room.
