"Ooh, don't leave us hanging, what is it?"

He places both hands on Choi Seungjoo's shoulders. "Seungjoo and I are now officially dating!"

Wow, fuck you. Fuck you very much.

He's still smiling, though.

Hyun-jae looks at Seungjoo with concern. "Blink twice if you need rescuing."

He blinks once.

Then he winks.

"Wow."

"Oh, we're just joking, congratulations!"

"What is seventy-five percent of a need for rescue?"

"He just likes to see me suffer," sighs Yoo-min, sitting back down again.

"Guilty!"

"So the way he's been stringing you on for months..."

"He just wanted to see me squirm!"

"Your kink is not my kink but your kink is okay."

"Busted."

This doesn't feel any worse than being near Lee Tae-gun but it's still not actually improving his mood at all.

"I heard Yun Minseo-sunbae and Baek Ji-woo-sunbae have also started dating," Lee Tae-gun observes.

Gasp. "Tae-gun, are you... ahead of the gossip mill??"

"...I just ran a dungeon with Yun Minseo-sunbae the other day and she mentioned it."

"Oh but this needs confirmation, BRB," he says, getting up again to walk over to the other table.

Everyone! Everyone around him! Gets to have that! And he doesn't! And he won't!

Argh!!!!!

...handsqueeze?

His Haru is so good he really likes his Haru he wants to be with his Haru and none of these people especially not Lee Tae-gun.

He squeezes Haru's hand right back and—doesn't quite succeed at masking any better than he was a second ago, which was enough to fool everyone other than Haru.

We can go home if you want.

His Haru is so good.

I don't want to ruin your fun.

You can also go home without me if you'd rather, I'm not in a particularly bad way right now and I can coast for an hour no problem.
