He liked her, he liked her a little too much. So when he woke up surrounded by the rest of his team who had dragged him away for a celebration he jolted around to look for her. His eyes surveyed the mess of created by his teammates and some of them still lying sprawled on the ground. A well-aimed kick landed on Taemin’s as he groaned and woke up to a ferociously angry captain. After all, he was the one who had detached Donghae from Minah and dragged him off to the after-party. The two had barely gotten time to breathe after the match let alone time to talk. Not that it made any difference. Donghae had been a rather dull participant in the party as all he could think of doing was repeating what had happened on the field. Minah was simply taking over his mind.

Minah herself had returned quietly to her room, rather baffled by what had happened. All she could remember was suddenly being in Donghae’s arms with their mouths furiously pressing against each other’s. Was it just on the spur of their victory, Donghae was fully capable of doing stupid things like that. But why did they go looking for each other? Why did the very thought of it make her face heat up and butterflies appear in her stomach?

She punched her pillow, trying to fluff it, tossing and turning in her bed as she tried to get even a little bit of much needed sleep. She rolled off her bed and peered out into the darkness. Jongin and Dambi stood under the lone lamp talking. Jongin towered over her and kept smiling down at her. He seemed to be leaning closer and closer and Minah instantly turned away knowing exactly would happen.

Dambi froze as Jongin’s lips met hers for an ephemeral moment before pulling away with a blush. He rubbed the back of his head as she stared at him bidding her good night and thanking her for accompanying him to the match. She felt the little butterflies erupting in her stomach as she stood on her tiptoes and pressed her lips against his while winding her arms around his neck. Jongin’s eyes widened before slowly sliding shut.

Minah rolled over and finally fell asleep, her mind in pure chaos.

Yixing gripped at the envelope with shaking hands. This was a secret he hadn’t wished to share with anyone. But now he had no choice but to reveal the life changing news to those around him. Shoving the watermarked envelope into his pocket, he headed for breakfast, knowing he’d probably have to break the news to all his friends – and Haneul.

“Hey man,” a voice stopped him in his tracks “off to breakfast?” he turned around to a groggy and disheveled Kris rubbing his eyes.

“Yeah, you coming?”

Kris hummed in reply before dragging his feet behind Yixing. Yixing’s mind reverted to the envelope in his pocket.

“Looks like you win this Kris.”

The two walked in silence to the large, sparsely populated dining hall. Many students had decided to stay back in the city after a night of partying due to the college’s win. He noted some of the familiar groggy faces he would probably be seeing for the last few times.

Haneul.

She was quite bright for a lazy Sunday morning as she slowly savoured her breakfast while watching
