"Am I hearing things..?!" Gyuvin thought out loud as he couldn't believe what was happening.

'How the hell did he fall for me?! This wasn't part of the fucking plan' This unexpected turn of events completely threw Gyuvin off guard, causing him to panic and question his own actions. Lost in his own thoughts, he struggled to find the right words to express his confusion and disbelief. "I- uh-", he stuttered as his mind was a jumbled mess.

Ricky felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him as he witnessed Gyuvin's reaction to his confession. The sight of Gyuvin's surprise and perhaps even shock caused his cheeks to burn with humiliation. Ricky stammered, "I- I'm sorry...". Unable to bear the weight of his embarrassment any longer, the blond instinctively covered his face, and immediately ran towards his apartment. Just as he was about to open his door, he felt a firm grip on his arm. He turned around to find the person he had just confessed his love to, looking at him with a surprised face.

'why did I just fucking jump on him?!' Gyuvin thought to himself as his body reacted faster than his mind. He was unsure about why he suddenly grabbed the boy. But he felt that this might be their last interaction once the blond leaves.

Ricky was caught off guard and felt confused about the brown-haired boy's sudden action. He was torn between hope and despair, overwhelmed by what he just did. He wondered if he could handle the potential rejection or if this unexpected encounter would bring clarity. Before he could say anything or go inside, Gyuvin held onto his arm tightly. "You can just forget about it-" Ricky's voice trailed off, and his breath caught in his throat.

"I- sure. I would love to go out with you," Gyuvin smiled at the blond. Upon uttering these words he saw Ricky's face slowly brighten up.

'I DONT KNOW WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS GOING' Gyuvin thought to himself as he muttered those words without thinking of the possible effects it may cause to the future. 'But I guess this would still help my story...somehow?' he hoped to himself, as he started to sober up completely.

Ricky's eyes widened in shock as he absorbed Gyuvin's response. The unexpected declaration left him speechless, his heart filled with a surge of hope. With a hint of disbelief, he questioned, "For real?" His once dull eyes now glimmering with anticipation.

Gyuvin couldn't help but be captivated by Ricky's irresistibly cute expression, thinking to himself, 'damn, who wouldn't want to go out with someone this pretty?!' The sight of Ricky's adorable face filled Gyuvin with a mix of awe and desire, making him unable to resist to be Ricky's lover.

With an enthusiastic tone, Gyuvin agreed, "Yes, I would love to!" This cheerful response caused Ricky's ears to turn an even deeper shade of red. Unable to contain his amusement, he let out a light chuckle upon witnessing the blonde's adorable reaction, and proceeded to gently pat Ricky's head.

"Then, should we leave together tomorrow? We have the same class" Ricky shyly asked the brown-haired boy with his face still blushing.

"Sure" Gyuvin replied, as he retrieved his hand from the blond's head

"Cool! See you then, good night Gyuvin..." Ricky said, looking at the other with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Sleep well, Ricky..." Gyuvin bid his goodbye as Ricky went inside his apartment, after seeing the boy safely go back home, he soon returned to his own apartment as well.

Upon entering his home, Gyuvin immediately washed up in an attempt to sober himself up. After he finished getting ready for bed, he quickly lay down on his bed without bothering to fully dry his hair. His mind wandered as it became overwhelmed with various thoughts. "Is this a dream? Am I losing my mind?" He laughed hysterically, questioning his own sanity.

'But how? Why?' He never expected this to happen, he never even imagined that he would be able to talk to any of his muses, but now he even managed to date one of them. "I can't even complain about dating Ricky, he's literally perfect." He sighed, he had never intended to be in a relationship, but he was afraid that their relationship would deteriorate if he ever rejected Ricky's confession. "Uh, I don't know, I'll just take this opportunity to see them interact more often," he grumbled as he allowed himself to fall into a deep sleep.

A new day came, and Gyuvin woke up to the sound of his alarm, feeling a slight headache from the alcohol he had consumed the previous night. He immediately went to shower, with his mind preoccupied by the unexpected confession he had received. "That was just a dream right? I hope so," he sighed, as he finished washing up and tidying himself. Just as he was about to leave his place, a faint knock startled him. He hurried to open the door and was taken aback to find Ricky standing there.

'Good morning!

"Damn, he looks good," Gyuvin greeted. The sudden utterance of those words immediately made both of them blush for very different reasons. Gyuvin couldn't help but feel ashamed after saying those words, his hangover seemed to mess up his thoughts and words.

On the other hand, Ricky couldn't help but feel shy after hearing Gyuvin's compliment. He responded with a shy smile on his face, "You look good too." Gyuvin responded with a small smile and then grabbed his bag before leaving the apartment.

The two walked with a slight tension between them, their hands occasionally brushing against each other. Their faces were flushed as they continued walking. Ricky then slyly grabbed onto Gyuvin's arm, causing the brown-haired boy to be startled. Gyuvin quickly glanced at Ricky, but was met with a sweet and endearing smile. The boy quickly redirected his gaze and attempted to act nonchalant by starting to whistle due to shyness.

'How the hell did Jiwoong survive this without developing feelings for this blond man?!' he internally panicked. He hasn't even hung out with Ricky that long, but every time they saw each other, his face would constantly turn red and his heart would dance to its own rhythm.

While the two were leisurely making their way to their class, they were unexpectedly struck with an aggressive tap on their shoulders. In response, the couple swiftly spun around and came face to face with Jiwoong, who was staring at Ricky's tight hold on Gyuvin's arm.

"I'm finally free?" Jiwoong teased Ricky, still staring at the closeness of the new couple.

"Oh~ Shut up, you're the one who was clinging to me" Ricky rolled his eyes at the boy.

"Poor Gyuvin, if you ever feel annoyed by the blond just ditch him and hit me up", Jiwoong completely ignored Ricky and casually put his arm on Gyuvin's shoulders.

"Dude, you're the one who's pissing him off right now," Ricky scoffed, taking Jiwoong's arm off of Gyuvin.

"Woah, is my little honey bunch sugar plum, jelly?" Jiwoong teased the blond.

'I am loving this interaction' Gyuvin internally screamed with joy as he witnessed his muses flirting in front of him.

"Me? Jealous? Never. Just fuck off" Ricky dismissed Jiwoong with a roll of his eyes, telling him to leave.

Jiwoong teasingly said, "Aw babe, don't act that way," as he gradually moved in between them and placed his arms on their shoulders.

"You can share me if you want, but I kinda like Gyuvin more" the older smiled as he playfully winked at Gyuvin who was clearly blushing as his face was flushed red. Ricky saw this interaction and couldn't help but feel a slight pang on his heart.

"Oh please~ None of us want you," the blonde chuckled.

"Really-"

"Please, please, shut your mouth. You two" Gyuvin begged. As much as he'd love to see the two bicker and flirt more, he's starting to get tired of hearing the constant bickering. And he also felt that if he dragged it out any longer, he might get caught up in it, sending out a negative signal to Ricky, his boyfriend.

The two laughed and eventually listened to the brown-haired boy. They walked peacefully, with Jiwoong's arm still around each of their shoulders. Afterwards, they arrived at their class, sat beside each other, and endured the dull lecture.
