1.    The door to line 10 train of the Beijing subway has already started to close when Kris decides to take the last four steps of the stairs with a single flying leap.   “Ge, hurry up!” Tao, having started running earlier, is waving frantically from inside.   Letting out a curse, Kris sprints the last few meters, hair flying out of his face and backpack swinging wildly off one shoulder. He has to turn his body so that he’s completely perpendicular to the closing doors, but he slides in.   “That was close,” Sehun observes in a flat, toneless voice.   Kris kind of wants to punch him in the face, but instead settles for hunching over, hands on his knees, and trying to catch his breath. Jongin and Sehun are still coming down from the adrenaline high of dancing on stage in front of hundreds, and Tao is always in shape from wushu. Kris, on the other hand, is utterly unprepared to break into sudden sprints without consequence.   The train has started moving by the time Kris is calm enough to sit down. The low humming sound of wheels on the track has him automatically pulling out headphones as he plops down next to Tao.   “You’re getting old,” Tao says, eyeing him with a judging gaze.   Kris rolls his eyes.   “Gramps, let’s go clubbing tonight.” Jongin says, moving to stand in front of Tao and Kris. “I think you need to get laid.”    “I second that,” Sehun nods.   Tao pouts. “But we’re going to the zoo tomorrow morning,” he whines. “Pandas don’t look nearly as cute when you’re hungover.”   “Personal experience?” Sehun asks, sympathetically.   As Sehun moves aside to dodge Tao’s assault, Kris’ eyes land on the boy sitting across from them in the trains, eyes wide in amusement. He is blond, with soft features and a baby face. Suddenly, Kris is horrified that this beauty is now aware of both his lack of a love life and his love for fluffy animals.   Following the direction of Kris' gaze, Jongin's eyes also land on the blond. His face breaks into a big, knowing smile.   "Lu Han!" he calls happily. "Hi!"   Kris kind of wants to crawl into a hole because wow of course, with his luck, Jongin would know the hot guy. Now the blond will be able to attach his name to 'that guy who has no game and loves pandas.'   "Hey?" Lu Han replies nervous, eyes flicking back and forth between Kris and Jongin.   "Lu Han is our TA for Calc," Sehun explains with little emotion.   "Sehun is really bad at calculus," Lu Han mutters under his breath, and Jongin bursts into laughter.   Tao blinks, but turns to round on Kris again. "Ge, you're going to the zoo with me, right?"   Kris cringes. Lu Han is looking at him, and Tao is talking about the goddamn zoo, made to entertain kids ten and under.   "Okay," Kris answers tiredly. It's not like someone as good looking as Lu Han would have been interested, anyway.           2.    Kris is half way across the cafeteria when he next spots Lu Han at the end of the line, holding a takeout box. As a grad school student who lives off campus, he only ventures into the school's café about once a week, preferring to prepare his own food with his housemates. However, he has agreed to meet Tao for lunch, and surprisingly, this was the chosen spot.   "Cafeteria food isn't bad," Tao had said over the phone. "They serve Italian on Wednesdays."   By the time that Kris realizes he will have to stand in line right behind Lu Han, it is too late to turn around without looking suspicious and rude. Cursing the gods for his bad luck, he falls into step behind the blond. Maybe, he hopes, Lu Han won't remember him.   "Oh, how was the zoo?"   Nevermind, he remembers.   Kris wishes that a black hole would suddenly appear and swallow him up. Instead, he feels his face flushing and he coughs awkwardly. "Fine," he replies thickly. "Zitao likes pandas."   Lu Han gives him
