September 5th, 2019

Following the resolved issues of the previous day, Soonyi was back at school, although she probably didn't completely want to be, but at least she was cleared.

Her voice had returned to its usual height as she sat in class, drilling herself into her hateful thoughts instead of drilling into the math problems in front of her.

Stuck in her head, the only thing able to knock herself out of it was the bell to announce lunch.

Hoping to kill her thoughts by feeding her stomach, she prepared herself to go get food.

Not paying particularly any attention to the doorway until a cough sounded from a certain someone, someone that was on top of her avoid list.

The moment Soonyi's eyes met Choa's, was the moment they jolted out to the side, in need of help.

Choa smiled with barely any smirk to it, "Wanna get some lunch?"

In her moment of panic, yet composed, Soonyi spotted someone that would help.

Soonyi's eyes were forced strong to make direct contact with Choa's, "No."

"Now if you'll excuse me..." Soonyi said with fake kindness as she squeezed through the space not taken up by Choa.

"No?" Choa questioned quietly as she turned with Soonyi's movement to catch Soonyi grabbing onto a guy's arm flirtatiously.

"Ready for lunch?" Soonyi's smile morphed to a smirk, "Or a little more?"

'Okay now that's not a smart idea Soonyi' Choa thought as she watched the two walk away. Her lips dipped slightly, 'oh well I'll just go eat with Hangyu'

───────────

The day continued on and brought the group all together to the club.

Well everyone but Jihoon, who stopped by to say he wouldn't be staying for the day.

There weren't many objections to this, not many were there yet, just Yoonha yelling at him that he better stay tomorrow.

Of course he was caught privately, or as privately as the doorway is, for Haejung to randomly ask him what his hobby was.

To which he questioned her suddenly asking him, but still he answered with the activity that he was actually just about to do, photography.

With that, he was off to do his own thing.

Back in the club, those who had shown up yesterday finally asked where Haejung had been the other day.

"I had to complete my end of the deal." Haejung answered, shrugging.

"What deal? It better not be one with the devil or something." Jinwoo questioned and threatened slightly.

"Jinwoo don't worry," Junjie chuckled, "The devil can't make deals with herself."

"Jiji, that's mean." Yoonha scolded, turning back to Haejung, "You're not the devil."

Haejung chuckled herself, giving her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, I know."

"It's funny that Junjie's the one saying this," Soonyi voice commented from the doorway as she walked in when the attention moved to her, "When he's actually the devil's spawn."

It's funny how she said this as a joke, but the truth within the comment made Junjie agree in his head.

"You should keep your mouth shut because I can argue the same for you." Junjie sent back, "And hey devil's seem to get along quite well, huh?"

Soonyi caught his wink and unconsciously rolled her eyes.

"What? Not your taste anymore?"

Those words left the whole group in silence while the two had a flirtatious stare down of some sort.

"Does Jiji taste good or something?" Yoonha broke the silence with her small voice.

"Oh Yoonha..." Jinwoo shook his head.

"He would if he'd agree to the Cheeto bath I suggested see do." Samyeong said, pointed a Cheeto at Junjie, pouting slightly.

"Bro no, just no." Junjie showed a face of disappointment.

While Junjie wasn't paying attention, Choa and Hangyu had staggered into the room. Hangyu being Hangyu, went up to him secretly and bit his arm.

The look of shock on Junjie's face was priceless, "What the hell?!"

"Hangyu," Choa scolded, "bad dog."

"D-dog" Hangyu spluttered, offended,
"I'm not a dog!"

"Are you sure?" Junjie asked, still wide eyed.

"Hmph" Hangyu let out, taking a seat instead of going off.

"Anyway," Jinwoo redirected the conversation, "What deal did you make?"

"It was with NamNam, she wanted me to agree to do something so I could make this club." Haejung answered more.

"NamNam? What?" Eunbi questioned from the corner, where she was currently doing her homework after getting in trouble for getting detention.

"Your mother. The principal."

"You call her NamNam? That's great!" Choa chuckled.

"Yo yo yo! What's up bitches!" Yiren yelled in greeting as she strutted into the room, breaking the previous conversation.

Changmin jumped slightly, gaining a glance from Yoonha next to him, "I almost had a heart attack" He muttered to himself.

Yoonha giggles at him, earning Changmin a quick, barely even a glare, look from Junjie.

Turning his attention back to the new comer, Junjie asked, "Okay now where were you yesterday?"

A select few were surprised by the lack of extra comment from him.

"Hm, Choa and Soonyi didn't tell you?" Yiren blinked, gaining blank confused stares from everyone but the fore mentioned two.

"I guess you didn't." Yiren stated, "Well I saved Soonyi from being sued by a bastard while those two held hands and watched my badassery."

At the mention of hand holding, Soonyi glared and gulped worryingly at the same time.

"Why the heck were you being sued??!" Jinwoo exclaimed in angry worry.

Junjie, at the same time, "Ooo is Soonyi dipping her toe now in something new?"

Of course this just got Junjie a glare, which he returned with a smirk.

"Are you sure she's not diving in?" Choa drawled out slowly, flirtatious, walking softly to Soonyi, wrapping her arm around her shoulder fast enough to not be stopped in the process.

Soonyi was preoccupied with anger and her brain filling up with disgusting words that her repulsion of this action was delayed.

"Get off me you disgusting fag!" Soonyi yelled with grit, pushing Choa with enough force to leave her stumbling back.

Choa came close to falling, but was stabilized by Hangyu coming out of his sad puppy mode to help his best friend.

"Don't touch my best friend!" Hangyu growled, like actually growled.

"And he's not a dog?" Junjie mumbled.

Haejung kneed Junjie in the side, "Shh"

Choa held her hand up against Hangyu, "Stop, I'm fine." She stated nonchalantly.

Even after Jinwoo and Choa separated Soonyi and Hangyu from each other, Hangyu still sent threatening glares at her from across the room.

After all the huba huba was over, the group spread out.

For one, Yoonha and Changmin were over on the couch, having another conversation about dogs.

"So when I woke up this morning, Cheonsa was snuggling up with one of my panda plushies, it was SO cute!" Yoonha gushed, "Do you want to see a picture?"

Changmin chuckled softly at her cuteness, "Of course I do."

"Hey guys!" Hangyu exclaimed, cheerfully, bouncing over to the pairing, "What are you guys talking about?"

Changmin blinked at the new arrival, blown away by the new found energy, but also suddenly falling into a pit of self insecurity.

"Sure Hangyu!" Yoonha said happily, beginning to hold out her phone to him, "Here you can see the picture I was talking about."

Hangyu grinned, showing his teeth, and peered at the picture, making his smile drop with a sudden shiver. "Aw it's a dog."

Hangyu commented, but said aw like 'too bad' , something that ticked something within Changmin.

" 'aw it's a dog'? What's that supposed to mean?! Dogs are great!" Changmin said with force.

"No their not!" Hangyu argued like a child, "But cats are!"

"Ha" Changmin breathed before starting to go off.

Before Yoonha got in between any physical altercation, the verbal stuff was already enough, she wandered over to Junjie and Samyeong.

"They're at it again." Yoonha stayed, plopping down next to Samyeong.

The two both glanced over to where she came from, nodding.

"Not surprised," Samyeong responded, reaching out his arm with a chip bag in his hand, "Chip?"

"Thanks." Yoonha thanked, about to just take the bag but then was shooed off by
Samyeong, who then held up one finger. Yoonha pouted her lips slightly, but only received a shake of his head, proving her tries unsuccessful. Unwillingly, she only took one chip.

"Oh, come on" Junjie said exasperated, "just give her the bag."

"No." Samyeong responded, adamantly.

Junjie sighed, "You leave me no choice." He said before reaching over Samyeong.

Samyeong gasped, extending his arm as far as he could to get the bag away from Junjie. An action that caused Junjie to have to reach farther. Stretching more than he could from his seat caused him to full on fall out and onto Samyeong.

"Get..off.." Samyeong groaned breathlessly, trying to shake the other boy off of him.

This only gave Junjie an idea, therefore he simply stopped using any energy and laid on Samyeong like he was sleeping.

"Take the chips..." Samyeong said giving the chips the Junjie, who jumped right back up.

"Thank you my friend!" Junjie then shifted his self and closed his eyes as he held out the chip bag all mightily to Yoonha.

However, Yoonha was no longer seated there, having walked off to get her own bag of chips.

"Well thank you my kind sir" Samyeong played along, snatching the bag from Junjie's hands as he himself sunk into his chair.

Junjie simply stood there dumbfounded.

Haejung laughed, "Oh my god, that was hilarious!" She exclaimed, wiping fake tears from her eyes.

"Yeah, haha" Junjie laughed sarcastically.

"Hi HJ" Samyeong simply greeted.

"Hi Sam!" Haejung greeted back, "Now, sorry to bother- wait this is a blessing- anyway, what are your guy's hobbies?"

The two answered cooking, eating, and art respectively.

You may be asking, why the heck is Haejung coming with the random question? Well she's building a plan, a plan that requires her to ask everyone their hobby and well, she did.

She had wandered over to the currently quiet duo of Eunbi and Soonyi earlier earning gaming, poetry, and dancing.

She also managed to sneak in the question before Yiren ditched to find her love, getting dancing again, but in public this time.

Along with those she got Hangyu, Jinwoo, and Changmin's after Jinwoo broke up their fight. She got graffiti, sports, listening to music, and playing with animals.

Last, but not least, she caught Yoonha at the snacks and got drawing and and unsure singing.

───────────

Once Yiren had heard that Jihoon wasn't in the club today, she set out to find him because she was not letting two days pass without seeing him.

On the other hand, Jihoon was quite content without having her cling to him, actually he didn't think much of her. Instead, he focused his mind on his work, his pictures.

Jihoon had chosen the school's secret garden, a square space that you could only really get to by a door in the library.

He was peacefully taking pictures of a flower when he was scared out of his socks by the slam of a door.

He moved his face away from his camera and preceded to glance over his shoulder.

What his eyes met, scared his very being; Yiren, eyes wide, looking like she was about to eat him.

With one swish, Yiren had tackled the boy into the grass, said boy protecting his camera to his best ability.

"I missed you Hoony~" Yiren cooed.

Jihoon wasn't overly upset with this, he was warm but also extremely uncomfortable.

"Um.." Jihoon started awkwardly, "Can you get off of me?"

"Not until you say you missed me too." Yiren argued.

"But I didn't." Jihoon put it bluntly.

Yiren simply got off to cringe at her previous actions, although she enjoyed it, and to frown at him, "Why not?"

"I'm not close enough with you to miss you."

"But- we hangout all the time, how aren't we close?" Yiren questioned.

"You just pull me along on your little 'adventures', we don't really talk." Jihoon explained seriously, biting the inside of his cheek, unsure of his decision.

"My adventures are great Hoony." Yiren started seriously, "But sure I'll do you a favor and talk."

Jihoon nodded, "But let me finish taking pictures."

"Ooo can I be in some?!"

Somehow Yiren got him to agree to this, well all she had to do was be annoying about it and throw in just a little threat about that little camera of his.

So for the rest of their time out there, Jihoon took some pictures of Yiren and some of the nature.

Just to say, Jihoon did smile later at the pictures of her when he was uploading them. They just weren't particularly full smiles.

───────────

"Mom, I'm home!" Jinwoo called into the house as he took off his shoes by the door.

"You're late." His mother stated as she walked out of the kitchen with a face that showed a sense of anger.

Jinwoo glanced slightly at his watch, "It's 5:30, I'm on time."

"No you were supposed to pick up Chaeyoung from her dance lessons at 4, remember?"

Jinwoo scrunched his eyebrows in thought, "I thought you said that you'd be picking her up today?"

"Jinwoo," His mother said in a stern voice, "I never said that, but you did agree to pick her up. Remember I told you last night when you were on your phone, just ask the girl that you were talking to while you were supposed to be working on your homework. Don't you have a test, you need to keep your grades up to get into medical school remember."

Just like that, Jinwoo was hit with a rush of pressure and what seemed to be a lace of judgment from his mother. However, he simply took it all in and nodded, "Yes mom, I know. I won't forget next time and I'll keep my grades up."

"Good, cause I don't want to see you with a distraction, like with Hyejeong."

He wasn't about to why having friends is a distraction, so instead he agreed.

"Okay, now let's go eat dinner, hm?" His mother gestured to the dining room as she went back into the kitchen.

Within 5 minutes he was sitting at the table with the rest of his family, even his father was there.

"Jinwoo, where have you been running off to that you have forgotten your responsibilities?" His father asked, pausing the previous conversation about Minhyung's upcoming test.

"Um.." Jinwoo was caught off guard by the sudden question, "I've joined a new study group."

His father nodded at his answer, "That's good, but make sure to keep up with your home responsibilities as well as your school ones."

A part of Jinwoo's mind laughed at the thought that the response was exactly what he expected, but another part looked like spongebob's brain in panic. He also knew that if he had told him that he joined a club that gives him no ups on college, that he would never hear the end of it.

The talk over dinner continued with his siblings filling the air mainly as Jinwoo himself smiled slightly whenever he saw sparks of excitement when they talked.

"Jinwoo help me with the dishes."

"Okay" Jinwoo agreed, moving to clear the table.

"Remember, tomorrow you'll need to pick Byunghoon up from his piano lessons and take care of your other siblings to. Also, make sure to complete your chores too."

"Understood." Jinwoo responded, washing the dishes after that in silence.

Once he was finished, he made his way into his room where he released a breath for one of the first times since he'd gotten home.

He was starting on his homework after turning down a call from Haejung, telling her that he was just 'going to sleep early'. Which truly, she probably didn't even believe, I mean the eye bags he'll have tomorrow will expose that lie.

As he was working, he heard a light knock on his door.

He glanced at the door in confusion, "Come in?"

The door opened slowly, "Jinwoo.." his sister, Chaeyoung, greeted quietly.

"Hm?"

"Can you help me with my homework?" The 9 year old asked.

"Of course, come here."

The girl walked over and was met with Jinwoo picking her up to sit her down on his knee.

From there he helped her, giving her a kiss goodnight once she finished.

Sadly, it wasn't a goodnight for him yet, as he still had his own work. Work that pushed him onto 12 before he finally shut his eyes.

Well, at least he still got more sleep than Yiren.
