"WHAT?!"

Himchan shrugged.

"The entire point of this was to make him want me. He does, so, yeah. I'm dating him."

At first the other boys were crestfallen.

Then, Youngjae started to smile.

It wasn't just a regular smile.

It was a Key smile: wicked, cunning, and practically shouted RUN ALL YOU SILLY ES, RUN WHILE YOU HAVE A CHANCE.

Zelo and Himchan in a sharp breath.

"This is perfect. We can use you guys to get closer to the other two."

He started laughing.

It was rather frightening.

OVER AT THE BASKETBALL COURT

Yongguk sat down, sweat running down his chest.

A gaggle of girls ran over to him, squealing.

"Yongguk oppa, do you need a towel?"

"Sure, do you have one?"

"Um.. No, but I'll give you my shirt?"

A couple days ago, Yongguk would have jumped for this chance. But for some reason, Yongguk didn't want to see her s. 

Yongguk didn't want anything from them.

He just wanted to be by the kid from his math class.

"No, it's okay. Bye."

He politely smiled at them and walked over to where Jongup and Daehyun were sitting.

"Dude, you totally wasted that opportunity."

"I didn't want to see her ."

"But I'm sure everyone else here did, it would have been a pretty good favor."

Yongguk rolled his eyes and chucked the basketball at Daehyun.

Daehyun chuckled and caught the ball easily, still in thought.

Maybe seeing a girl's s would snap him out of it.

Jongup spoke up, breaking his train of thought."

"What would you guys do if I was dating Himchan?"

Daehyun shrugged.

"He's not even here-"

Jongup cut in.

"What is he transferred back?"

"Anyway, I don't really care. I mean, at least you're getting some. For a while, I thought you were a ing aual, like a plant or something. You weren't attracted to guys or girls."

Daehyun smiled gently at Jongup, softly ruffling his hair.

Jongup smiled back, relieved that he would have some support.

Yongguk glared at Daehyun.

"I don't hang out with faggots, so I wouldn't suggest dating him."

Jongup's smile quickly dropped.

Taking notice of this, Daehyun stood up and hurled the basketball at Yongguk's head.

There was a weird smashing sound.

Bullseye.

"Right in the middle." Daehyun mused as he ran away from the raging Yongguk.
