"So, why did you text me to meet up with me?" Hyejeong questioned, sitting on the desk across from Jinwoo.

"Can't I just meet up with a close friend?" Jinwoo answered with an unsure question, "Is that wrong of me?"

Hyejeong rolled her eyes, "I'm not here to avoid the obvious point. Now, tell me what's wrong."

"Oh nothing," Jinwoo chuckled sarcastically, "Just the normal"

Hyejeong sighed, "You know, Jinwoo, you're never going to get rid of your stress without talking to your parents about the pressure they put on you."

"I know I know." Jinwoo sighed himself, "But, I can't really do that. As the oldest, it's my responsibility."

Before continuing this conversation, Hyejeong stepped off the desk a bit, leaning down some to take Jinwoo's lips in a 3 second kiss, receiving a 1.5 second response from him.

[ Meanwhile in the background, Haejung was coming to talk, but stopped at the door when she saw the kiss. "Oop, I should go." She muttered as she turned away to find Yiren instead. ]

"What was that for?" Jinwoo asked, slightly taken off guard.

"I figured this might be my last opportunity to kiss you," Hyejeong smirked jokingly, "And you know how much I love those lips of yours."

Once again, Jinwoo rolled his eyes, but he also released a genuine laugh that seemed to release some of the stress off his chest.

"Look at that, I did my job." Hyejeong grinned, "I'll help you next time too, if you need me then. Just, most likely, it won't be in the form of a kiss, since you'll probably have someone else for that."

"Yeah yeah," Jinwoo shooed, "Now go do whatever and let me eat in peace."

"Hmph, after all I've done for you, you shoo me off like this?" Hyejeong acted dramatically.

Jinwoo chuckled and shook his head,
"Just go meet up with your other friend."

"Fine." Hyejeong let go of her act,
"See ya later then!"

───────────

"Haejung, what are we doing on the field?
And what are you holding?" Soonyi
asked with her arms crossed.

However, Haejung was too busy looking for someone in the group of people to answer automatically. When she gave up looking, though, she sighed before going
cheerful about her plan.

"To play a game of course!"

Junjie quirked his brow, "Of what?"

"Flag football!" Haejung exclaimed, beginning to take out flag belts one at a time and chuck them at the members.

Samyeong didn't take the energy
to try a catch it, letting the belt fall
short in front of his feet.

Eunbi was looking down instead of up therefore, she got hit in the head.

Hangyu went full on dog and caught it
with his mouth for some odd reason.

Yiren let it fall onto her shoulder perfectly.

Choa was calm, but ended up catching
it with a little more force.

Both Yoonha and Jihoon tried grabbing it,
but it slipped both of their grasps.

Surprisingly, Junjie grabbed his with a little more umph than what was expected of him.

Changmin caught it normally.

"This is ugly." Soonyi let out her opinion
as she wrapped the mustard yellow
belt around her waist.

"Well why would they be designer belts"
Junjie commented, earning himself a glare.

"I meant the color."

Junjie smirked, "But the yellow really
brings out your teeth."

"JUNJIE" Soonyi gritted her teeth
before going after him.

As soon as he saw her coming,
he dashed down the field.

Yet this wasn't the only early fight.

"Can red team's name be Red Cats?"
Hangyu asked the leader, Haejung.

Haejung shrugged, "If the rest of your team agrees." She answered while adjusting her yellow belt.

"Hey Changmin!" Hangyu called, bouncing over to the first red belt he saw.

Changmin looked up at the mention of his name, starting to blink in fear due to thinking that he was going to be tackled already.

"Please don't hurt me.."
Changmin let out nervously.

"I'm not going to hurt you." Hangyu
stopped in front of him, grinning,
"Can we call our team Red Cats?"

Changmin frowned, "Why not Red Dogs?"

Who knows how it preceded from there, but next thing you know Hangyu was running with a Changmin chasing him.

"Well that was fast." Jihoon commented.

"Yep!" Yoonha responded.

"Idiots." Eunbi chuckled softly as she watched the so called idiots run.

"Yeah, but sometimes being idiotic is fun." Choa said from beside her.

Eunbi was slightly caught off guard and definitely was when she turned to see Choa. Who was fake drinking tea while watching the chaos.

"Choa, tea really?" Yiren commented, judging.

A comment that made Eunbi see her as normal, but that didn't last long.

"Popcorn's where it's at." Yiren finished,
fake eating popcorn as so.

Choa rolled her eyes, "I'm way too elegant for commoners popcorn, Ms. Ryu"

"Your loss, Ms. Sang."

───────────

"Hey, BH," Samyeong greeted, approaching
the girl that was currently trying to get the football out of the bag.

Haejung paused her struggles to talk to him, "Hey, Sam!"

"Question, do I have to play? Can I just be the ref or something?"

Haejung shrugged, "Sure, I was just going to do both jobs, but sure. Here" She took off the whistle and handed it to him.

"Thanks."

Red team: Changmin, Junjie,
Hangyu, Yoonha, Eunbi

Highlights

UNO
the first play

"Hey Sam! Flip a coin!"

"What coin?" He looked around confused.

That lasted a good 3 minutes.

"Oh my god! Just pick a # one or two!"

"Uh, two!"

"Okay red team then." Junjie concluded.

"Was one even yellow?" Soonyi asked, suspicious.

Junjie grinned cheekily, "Nope"

Soonyi growled at him as the set up put them face to face.

Somehow a more serious Hangyu came out when he called "Hike!"

Junjie threw the ball back to him before automatically clipping Soonyi's flag.

At the same time, Yoonha clipped Hangyu's.

"Eh?!" Hangyu was left in his 'ready to throw' position as he looked at his flag in Yoonha's hands.

A large bust of cackling erupted from Yiren along with a bit more quieter laughter from those watching the situation and knew the game.

Yoonha blinked innocently, "What? Isn't the aim of the game to pull the person who gets the ball's flag?"

Jihoon tapped her shoulder before whispering into her ear, "Yes, but not your own teammate's"

"Oh..."

"It's okay Yoonha," Haejung wrapped her arm around her shoulder, "Your not the only one who played wrong."

Haejung made eye contact with Junjie,
who squinted back.

"What? It's not against the rules to pull a flag from the other team if they don't have the ball."

"Yeah, but that's not how you should play the game. Just go get open instead of worrying about me. We can't even touch the quarterback until after 3 Mississippi's" Soonyi pointed out.

"Ugh, let's just play." Junjie said, upset by the logic Soonyi was actually giving.

DOS

"Yoonha!" Hangyu called to her,
since she was the only teammate open.

Once he earned her attention, he threw it to her and unlike the previous three times, she caught it.

Yoonha's eyes widened, unsure what to do.

"Run." Eunbi stated, pointing
towards the end line.

Yoonha nodded, and took off running, scoring the team their first touchdown.

Before the end of the game, they ended up with 3 touchdowns: one by Yoonha, one by Hangyu, and one by Changmin.

After every one, Hangyu forced the team into a team hug.

"Let's go Red Cats!"

"That's not our name."

Their main defense had been Junjie with the occasional help of Eunbi and Hangyu who looked like he was going to tackle them in a hug.

On the other hand, yellow team scored 4 touchdowns too: two by Choa, one by Jihoon, and one by Yiren.

With Haejung as quarterback and a part of the defensive squad: Haejung, Soonyi, and Yiren

TRES

It was Red team's last shot to get a
touchdown and win the game.

The ball was hiked and the whole team ran to get a good spot, but yellow team was determined to block the throw.

Due to no one being open, Hangyu couldn't throw it, so instead he took it.

However, he didn't get far before getting actually tackled by Yiren.

"Ow!" Hangyu screeched tripping over his foot the wrong way, twisting his leg wrong in the process along with Yiren's weight pushing it into the hard ground.

"What the hell!" Yoonha was the
one that exclaimed.

"This isn't tackle football." Eunbi commented, actually upset that they didn't just win there and then.

"Yeah, Ref!" Junjie was also upset as he called the ref, aka Samyeong.

Samyeong strolled over leisurely,
"looks like it's the end of your turn."

"Sam, tackling is a foul." Junjie state's.

Samyeong shrugged, "I didn't see it."

"Yiren's literally still on him." Junjie argued.

"So, maybe she tripped."

"Yeah Junjie, she just tripped. Stop being a crybaby because you can't win anymore."

"I don't think Junjie's the crybaby right now." Eunbi observed the now crying Hangyu.

Jihoon gave Yiren a hand as the rest of the group crowded around Hangyu.

"Owie" Hangyu grabbed onto his leg lightly.

"Shit." Yoonha muttered.

"Hangyu, you good buddy?" Haejung questioned.

To which, Hangyu shook his head at.

Choa looked worried, but all she let out was a sigh as she moved to put his arm around her shoulder.

"Changmin, can you help on the other side?"

Changmin was internally questioning why him, but like he couldn't really decline to help so...instead he followed her orders and got on the other side.

"One. Two. Three."

The two then struggled to help Hangyu up as he was whining at the same time. Gaining some help from the other members.

"Well then, I guess this ends the game."
Soonyi concluded.

"Yep." Haejung agreed, "Let's go home with yellow team's win!"

"Red team should've won, but no" Junjie trailed on sarcastically.

"Junnie, we'll win next time!"
Yoonha said cheerfully.

"I don't know about that one Yoonha," Jihoon butted in, "Our team's quite good."

"Ours is too!"

"Sorry Yoonha, but I must agree. Our team will simply win again." Yiren stated cockily.

"Without cheating next time, Yiren?"

"Who said I cheated this time Jun?"
Yiren smirked.

"Children, no more fighting." Choa stopped any fights from happening for the night. "And Hangyu don't open your mouth."

Choa stopped Hangyu from
speaking out his complaints.

"Can we go now?"

───────────

When the fun dies down, what's left?

Well, Haejung was met with an empty house, the only thing left being a sticky note from her dad. Reading the following: "I went out and won't be home until late"

However, Haejung felt no shift in her mood. Instead, she laughed, "Ooo it must be a date! ...or a meeting, but you know we'll go with the former option."

Then she sat herself down on the couch and that's where she fell asleep after binge watching Netflix.

Junjie was left with a definite feeling of something that was so close to resembling fear, yet not exactly quite. So when he thought about where he wanted to go at this time, since it most definitely wasn't home.

He crossed off many in his head and re thought others for around an hour after the group had left. Which he did while laying in the grass, staring at the stars.

Samyeong walked Eunbi home, which, despite them seemingly making up the previous week, was awkward.

The only spoken words were from Samyeong asking if she wanted to get food, Eunbi gave a head shake to say no.

'When did she stop looking up at me?' Samyeong thought as they continued their silent journey.

Once Eunbi got home, she was left frustrated, frustrated at herself. While Samyeong ate while frowning, almost like he wasn't enjoying his food.

───────────

Choa and Changmin spent the rest
of the night making out.

Kidding, they spent the rest of the night lugging around the giant dog that was making his leg injury way more dramatic than it was. Possibly to have an excuse to lean half his body onto the stuggling Changmin.

"Hangyu, you're crushing him" Choa stated, "Changmin, babe, just tell him to take some of the weight off."

Changmin used what little breath he had left to say, "I-I'm okay." Which was obviously a lie because his face was clearly red due to the lack of oxygen to his brain.

Of course Hangyu basically zoned out the majority of their words due to being enthralled by the sweat+conditioner scent. However, he did catch the words directed to him by Choa, well for the most part.

"Me?! Crushing on him?! No!" Hangyu exclaimed, stumbling and catching himself on his currently bad leg.

"Ow!" Hangyu cringed in pain, a light dust of blush still across his face.

"Dumbass." Choa crossed her arms, dealing to just watch him in pain. 'How do I still kinda like him?'

Changmin's eyes on the other hand widened, "Are you okay?!" He stressed in a small worried voice as he moved to help him.

Hangyu was so close to jumping up and smiling like his normal self but instead he jumped on Changmin, becoming his normal needy self. "I don't think I can walk anymore, please carry me."

Changmin was really struggling now. For one, his body most definitely couldn't withstand Hangyu's weight for too long. And two, he really wnted to say no, but his mouth just wouldn't let it come out.

"Oh my god Hangyu" Choa sighed and walked forcefully to the side of the road, "I'm calling a cab, now get off him."

Changmin was silently thanking Choa as Hangyu listened, pouting in the process.

From there, Choa flirted a bit with the cab driver and then her and Changmin dragged Hangyu upstairs to his house. Changmin had to leave before they went inside.

───────────

At this point, it seems like Yoonha and Jihoon live together with the amount of scenes they are together at Yoonha's house.

But, today they were on a facetime call with their great cousin Seokhwa, who Yoonha might -just might- like more than Jihoon.

"Seokhwa, are you done eye flirting with Cheonsa yet?" Jihoon asked, seriously, a little creeped out by the interaction he had to watch for the past two minutes.

"Shall I flirt with you intstead Jihoon?" Seokhwa tilted his head before turning on the charm. "Did you fall from heaven? Ca-"

He was cut off by Yoonha,
"Seoki, stop that's icky, we're cousins."

"Well if I don't flirt with him, then who will?" Seokhwa chuckled.

"I-" Jihoon stuttered.

"Oh there's definitely someone flirting with him." Yoonha commented, winking at Seokhwa.

"Wow Yoonha," Seokhwa gasped, "I thought you just said it was icky."

Yoonha blushed, "Not like that you idiot!"

"She's talking about this one girl who pretty much follows me because I'm hot." Jihoon explains.

"Narcissistic much?" Seokhwa commented.

"I don't think that's why she likes you, well at least not all of it." Yoonha shared.

"Anyway," Jihoon drifted the conversation, "You won't have to flirt with Yoonha either, since she definitely is getting enough."

The alarm flashed in Seokhwa so fast,
"Who dares to touch my child?"

"Oh, just a fuckboi." Jihoon shrugged.

"Fuckboi?" Yoonha herself questioned,
"Who's a fuckboi?"

"Oh no a fuckboi is flirting with Yoonha and the naive baby doesn't even realize he's a fuckboi" Seokhwa freaked out.

"Seoki I'm not that naive" Yoonha stated, biting her lip awkwardly.

"Oh really now," Jihoon started, "I'm pretty sure you didn't realize he was a fuckboi until I said it."

Yoonha stayed silent as something in her was set off. One person was going to have to face the other side of Yoonha.

───────────

"Thanks for the gummies," Yiren thanked,
"and the banana milk."

"It's the least I can do," Soonyi said while drinking her own milk, "I mean, you did help me to not get sued and all."

Yiren nodded, "Yeah, I should be getting a large sum right now."

Soonyi paused her drinking for a second, surprised by Yiren's words, "But when I asked what you wanted, this was all you wanted."

"Chill" Yiren chuckled, "I don't want money. I just want the tea on you and Choa."

"Eh?" Soonyi let out, shocked,
"There isn't even any tea though."

Yiren raised an eyebrow at her, "Oh please, then what was that hand holding?
If I didn't know better I'd say you
guys had a thing going on."

Soonyi was slowly falling into a pit of shyness and self hatred, actually she might of plummeted.

"Hello? Are you still there?" Yiren called after her question was met with nothing.

"Oh look that's my house see you!" Soonyi blurted, her words having started out quiet. She then preceded to wave and run inside a building that wasn't even her house.

Yiren tilted her head, confused, "What the-"

───────────

After sitting on the field for about an extra hour, Junjie finally got up with a final destination in mind.

Within the next 30 minutes he was standing in front a house, moreover the door to the house.

Knock Knock

"Who's there?" A voice asked as they opened the door before getting an answer, which revealed a wet mop of hair.

"Oh, Junjie, what brings you here?" Samyeong asks, now drying his hair with ease.

"Um.." Junjie scratched his head awkwardly, "Is there any chance I could stay here tonight?"

Samyeong definitely didn't expect that and definitely was curious as to why he was asking this, his facial expression clearly showing it. An expression that was met with sorta desperate eyes that didn't want him to ask.

"I mean, sure" Samyeong moved out of the doorway to let Junjie in.

"Let me get you some pjs." Samyeong stated, moving to go get them.

To which Junjie nodded as he took off his shoes and carefully stepped onto the floor.

Junjie was still standing there when Samyeong came back moments later.

"Here," Samyeong handed him the clothes, "Come on you can stay in my room."

Samyeong moved first, snatching a chip bag off the counter as he led Junjie to his room.

In seconds, Samyeong was back to his lazy self, on his bed eating chips.

"Where should I change?"

"You can change in here." Samyeong's answer was muffled by chips.

Junjie nodded once again and turned to face the wall as he began to take off his shirt.

Possibly it was weird that Samyeong was quietly watching him do this, but he was. In doing so, he was met with different shades of bruises all decorating Junjie's back.

Samyeong's eyes widened, 'wow did he get those all when we were playing earlier?' He questioned in his head.

It took him a good five minutes after Junjie was done changing for him to remember that they hadn't been playing tackle football. A thought that simply left him looking at Junjie next to him with a worried look.

Junjie felt the stares, "What?" He asked without taking his eyes off his phone.

"Nothing."
