My Cold Fire"Winwin! You're alive!" Doyoung sprang at him the next day. "You didn't answer your phone and I was getting so worried like what if you got kidnapped Taeyong hyung said not to worry but -"
"My phone just got wet," Winwin explained. He decided not to tell him the events of the previous night - he'd just get mad, and plus it was confusing. He glanced across the classroom to where Yuta usually sat - he wasn't there yet.
"Where's Yuta?" He asked. Doyoung shrugged. "No idea." He twisted around. "We're getting a project soon, I thought I'd remind you because you're still new to the school sort of, it's usually a paired or group project, we have like three weeks to complete it, so ..."
