Jinruk and Haewoon has this kind of silent agreement when it comes to their relationship. Don't get them wrong, they're friends and would come to each other's aid when needed but, there has always been this line in between them called "awkwardness". There's just something invisible there that's stopping the two from getting closer to each other, which they may fix later on in their lives but so far, they're fine with where they are now. As for general interactions, Jinruk would usually help (or lightly tease) Haewoon with his english, and the latter would usually tease the other about how sweaty and smelly he is.

It had been past three in the afternoon when Jinruk swung by the Uni-Prince quarters after his professor dismissed the class early. He was headed towards the kitchen when his eyes landed on another member hunched over at the dining area. "Haewon?" The male looked up when his name was called before setting his eyes on the pink-haired male. He gave a nod at the latter before getting back to his notes. Curious, Jinruk moved towards the older male before looking over his shoulder, where letters and symbols were scribbled down on the sheet of paper. Jinruk grinned at what he saw before leaning forward, just enough for his face to be in the same height as the male before him. He cleared his throat and spoke in his clearest english accent, "Do you want me to translate that for you?" At the words, Haewon turned to look at the smug looking male and glared at him before letting out a sarcastic laugh and going back to his work. "No thanks."

It may be the fact that Jinruk sees Jaehoon as someone who plays with other's feelings but, there seems to be an underlying dischord between the two. Although the taller male has been told numerous times that the other was merely "being playful", he still couldn't shake the fact that other people's feelings are being misused. That and the fact that Jaehoon loves teasing both Yul and Woojoo, which may already hurt them more than he's aware of. Aside from that, everything else is fine between the pink and gray haired boys, as Jinruk sees his older sister in Jaehoon at times- sans the seductive part. The two boys would usually just interact with each other if one of them would be with either of the other members. It's actually pretty rare for them to start conversing together withouht anyone with else with them.

Jinruk was speed walking towards his class when a scene caught his attension. Not far from where he was, two figures where standing peacefully, one female and the other- "Lee Jaehoon?" The pink haired male couldn't help but be intruiged by what he was seeing. However, as he was deciding with whether or not he'd stay, he sees the female bowing her head towards the latter and handing Jaehoon a paper bag before scurrying the other direction. The silver-haired male took one peak at the paper bag before shoving it in his backpack and moving towards his class. "Liked what you saw?" He spoke over his shoulder, fully aware that his tall member was watching in the sidelines. "Was that a freshman?" Jinruk pointed towards the direction where the younger-looking female went to. "Yup. You know, I usually get these kinds of confessions from them. It's starting to get dull." It was a joke sure, the ironman knew that much, but he couldn't help hearing the truth in it as well. "One day," Jinruk belatedly realized he had begun ssaying, "One day, you are going to eat your words, I just know it." Jaehoon stopped and looked at the younger with a smug lok on his face, "Hey, we all can't have the power over ladies now- can we?" With those as his final words, the uni-prince moved towards his class, not too fast for him to miss the ironman's next words. "Oh I can't wait to see the day when the Lee Jaehoon finally finds a woman who could tame him!"

Jinruk has always had this soft spot for Jisung, even if the other doesn't know it- or won't acknowledge it entirely. At some point, Jinruk has also realized that the uni-prince's president has also been that kid he met from before, when their fathers used to help each other out in court cases. They used to tell each other the most random things, and compare their "new discovery". Before long however, the Hans moved and the two never heard from each other since. Jinruk wonders if the president remembers him and their time together before, and hopes that someday, he'd be able to see and interact with him the same way. The pink haired boy would try his best to act casual with the president, telling him radom things in hopes that it may spark some memory. If that doesn't work, he'd be sure to make himself helpful whenever he sees the other having troubles with his cases, offering some of his knowledge or a different point of view when necessary. Initially, the president is unsure of Jinruk's actions but in time, would remember their shared history together. What's left now is how he'd react to the only other person from his past who seemed to have stayed the same way as he'd last remembered him.

--

It had been about 6am in the morning when Jinruk had already been out and about in his gym clothes, getting ready for his morning jog, when he saw a familiar figure right by the door of the building lobby. The tall male had figured that'd it had been one of the cleaning managers but as he'd approached, he finally realize who it was. "Yes father, I'm doing my best in school. No, I have not done anything to ruin our name-" Jisung's voice wasn't it's usual detached one, instead, it held a tone of uncertainty, something Jinruk wasn't used to coming from the uni-prince's president. "I've done everything I can father, there's not much else I can do with that matter. However I still am trying- hello? H-hello?" Jisung clicked his toungue and hung up the phone. He stayed still fora while before hitting his right fist onto the wall and letting out a frustrated breath. "Crap..." The president said under his breath before turning back to the elevator but he'd completely stopped when he realized he wasn't alone . "I kow you're there." Jinruk fliched at being caught and saw no point in hiding, so he presented himself. Jisung took one look at him before letting out another breath. "You heared everything?" The tall male shook his head, "Just a few by the end." Jisung went towards the pink-haired member and shook his head as well, "That's still a lot." The two boys stood quite for a while, just taking in each other's pressense before the younger male made the first move. Jinruk approached the president and lightly squeezed his right shoulder before speaking, "You know we're always here for you, right?"

If there is another member who Jinruk could call his other half, that would be the Baekhwa. As odd as it may seem, the foxy businessman and the ironman has a lot more in common than meets the eye. In a sense, if Jinruk so as decideds to become bolder than he already is, then he'll turn out to be a little more like the fancier male. And if the vice president so chooses to become a little milder, then he'd end up being like Jinruk all together. Really, the only difference you'll see with the two are the clothes they wear, their course, probably family background, and that slight fact that Jinruk is a bit more muscular than the other. Aside from that, they're practically the same person- however because of that idea, Jinruk knows how secretive and manipulative Baekhwa could get. Lucky for Jinruk, this fox's tricks doesn't work on him, which the latter finds very challenging.

"Oh look, here comes my favorite muscle man!" Baekhwa chimed as he skipped over towards the taller and buffer uni-prince member. Upon reaching his target, the business major unconsciously tipped his toes to raise himself up and reach towards the pink-haired male's shoulder. He swung his arm and leaned his face closer towards the other before speaking. "Hi again! My dear 'ol sweet-" Baekhwa continued on with his praise as Jinruk looked at the shorter male with a questioning gaze before checking the arm resting on his shoulder. With the way his hyung was speaking, as well as his mannerisms, the pink-haired male knew where the conversation was going. Jinruk let out a small smile before shaking his head.  "Hyung, you know your sweet talk never works on me, but thanks!" After those words, he began to walk once more, causing Baekhwa to struggle a little because of the height difference. "Hey! Com'on- give me a break!" The older male called out before clicking his tongue and jogging forward to keep up with the younger male's pace. "Wait up!"

Out of all the uni-prince members, the Yul is probably the closest person to Jinruk, and that's a fact. It might have started from the paistry chef in the making just feeding the gym goer his experiments, or the fact that the pink haired boy just indulges in whatever the gentle baker feeds him- but they really go well together. Maybe it's also cause of the fact that they're trying to be healthy as well, both having great knowledge about food. Now Yul treats Jinruk much like a little brother, even if they're only a few months apart, but it's mostly the younger who defends the older when he gets teased by most of the uni-prince members. Now aside from getting food from the older and defending him, the pink-haired boy also tries his best to "correct" or inform the gentle baker of his actions, so as to avoid misunerstandings from people around him.

Jinruk rummaged through the uni-prince's kitchen, not exactly sure if he should be messing with his friend's turf or not. He checked his watch before turning to his phone, which had its screen on what looked like a recipe of some sorts. "Well, good luck to me." A few hours later and Yul finally returned from his class. He was about to go and hit the sack, when he immediately stopped at the giht before him. His once pristine kitchen was now filled with what looked like flour, and other condiments unknown. The shocked baker approached the area slowly, only to bump and nearly slip on a lump on the floor. When he looked down, a clump of what used to be pink hair greeted him, with some of the unknown powder around it. "What happened here?" Yul spoke in a rather panicky voice. "Uhh, hi!" Jinruk let out a guilty smile and a small wave before getting to his feet to properly explain himself. "I- uhh, tried recreating that dessert you gave me the other day and-" He was cut of when Yul moved towards the kitchen to examine the damage. "And?" The baker pressed as he began to clean the mess up. "Well, as you can see. I failed." Jinruk slumped and let out a breath, before he began cleaning up as well. Yul shook his head at his friend but after a few seconds, let out a hearty laugh. Jinruk snapped his head at the older male's direction, both of curiosity and a little annoyance. "Why are you laughing?" Yul continued to laugh as he clutched at his stomach before leaning at the counter. The pink haired male stopped what he was doing and started to laugh with his friend as well, not exactly sure why. After a few more seconds of laughter, the duo stopped and looked at each other. "Darn it, Jinruk. How can you survive without me now?" Yul said in a short breath before playfully shaking his head and getting back to cleaning up the mess. The ironman shrugged and continued to help. "I don't know, hyung. So hey um, can you maybe bake me another one of those things you gave me the other day?" He asked suddenly as he gave his brightest smile- which earned him a cool towel on the face. "Only if you help clean up this mess!"

In all honesty, if there's another person in the club that Jinruk finds as 'odd' as Lee Jaehoon, then that's Kim Minwoo. There's just that feeling of uneasiness when he's around the guy but it's something the pink haired boy usually debates upon himself. At one point, Jinruk could see his old self in the band member but in some cases, he just couldn't understand why the other has to go through all types of unwanted situations just to prove a point- if there even was a point to anything Minwoo does. And this is where more conflicts come into the Jinruk's mind, because in the back of his head, he thinks that the guy probably has secrets he can't tell the other members (much like himself) and the ironman tries to understand him as much as he can. But then, the other would just blow out all of Jinruk's sympathy/understanding by getting all up in the Yul's face and it would annoy Jinruk off- then it's back to square one for them. They don't really interact much and would only do so if they're with other members. If anything, Jinruk could say that at least his relationship with Jaehoon is constant (albeit improving); whereas with Minwoo, he isn't so sure. (of course when Minwoo starts opening up about his past, Jinruk would become even more understanding and try to help the other as much as he's able to- which is kinda awkward for them at first but at least their relationship is slowly getting better)

--

Jinruk thought long and hard about what the president had told him earlier that week, yet he still couldn't bring himself to talk to Minwoo about anything. Luckily, the pink-haired male overheard one of his blockmates speaking about the uni-prince member's up coming gig later that week- which Jinruk thought was a good enough excuse to converse with the rocker. So just as he zipped his gym bag to a close, the taller male made his way towards Haewon's room- which he shared with Minwoo. The door was wide open and Jinruk could see the rocker working on his instrument. Not exactly used to the situation, the taller male cleared his throat and spoke once he got the latter's attention.  "You're doing that thing tomorrow, right? Can we come?" Minwoo's brows vissibly met at the middle, a sign that he is either confused or not pleased with Jinruk's choice of words. "If you're talking about my gig, then yes, I am." He then looked down at his stuff and continued rummaging through it. Not hearing an answer to his last question gave Jinruk a hint that maybe, they weren't allowed to watch the member after all- or was it just him? But as he was about to awkwardly let himself out, he heard Minwoo releasing a breath before speaking. "Yes, you guys can come." A smile spread across Jinruk's face, which was returned with a calmer one. Embarrassed Jinruk let out a small laugh before scratching the back of his head, not really sure what to say. "Thanks. Good luck!" He spoke before finding himself shuffling back into his room, ready to work away his feelings of embarrassment.

No matter what anyone says, Jinruk has already claimed Hyunjun as his little pet project. Not that the younger wasn't healthy or anything, but the fact that he's always in front of the computer or any type of gadget has Jinruk worried; for his eyesight, his back, and his social life. Though he doesn't really know much about the hacker aside from those, because the latter is almost always in his room doing this and that, never really going out unless it's time to eat or if there's a meeting. If ever he is out of his room then he'll be on his phone most of the time. Jinruk sometimes jokes with him and calls him "the hermit", for a lot of reasons but the pink haired boy does know when to stop his teasing. They aren't exactly close but they aren't strangers either.

The uni-princes had decided to go out for lunch together, a first in a while. However, they've forgotten what happened the last time they were all out like this. It was both them being chaotic little children, and having what you'd call the club's "fangirls". Yes, even these ordinary boys have a few females and males following them around now and then- what more that they're actually together as the uni-prince. With that being said, it seemed like all was good with the day so far. Jinruk walked towards the front of the cashier once the member's orders were called. He and another member, Hyunjun, was assigned to bring all the orders back to the table- after loosing a bet earlier. While waiting for the rest of the food, Jinruk picked up two trays filled with the members drinks and looked towards the older male, who looked like he was struggling to pick up a tray with three dishes on them. He shook his head and lightly laughed, "Hyung, you should really come with me to the gym, it'll be healthy for you." Hyunjun looked up at Jinruk with a glare before faking a laugh and moving towards the other members, the two boys walking ever so carefully so as not to drop their trays.

The ironman isn't sure if the Woojoo is older than him or not, because most of the time, it's Jinruk who acts as the older person between the two. It must be because the other looks way younger than he actually is, or the fact that he's just so cute and carefree about everything around him. He's the epitome of youth in Jinruk's eyes and he's not shy from showing it to the other. So like, their relationship is between siblings who looks out for each other whenever they can. Now Woojoo would almost always make sure to brighten Jinruk's day by greeting him when he's in the club or just sticking with the other whenever possible. He also suggests places that they could visit together when he has another trip out, and would go as far as try and go to the gym with the pink haired boy if he feels like Jinruk just needs someone to talk to. (because Jinruk would almost always use gym as an excuse so he won't need to talk about his problems)

"So is everything ready?" Jinruk asked as he watched his friend going back and forth his room. Yul, the person who shared a room with the young geologist, was out at the kitchen preparing everyone's breakfast for the day. Jinruk continued to look at his friend, who hasn't spoken a word to him since he popped up by the door that morning. "Hey cookie, have you seen that cap you gave me a month ago?" Jinruk's brows met and looked around the room, he stepped forward and handed the pink cap to his panicking friend. "Dude, chill. You'll make it on time." Wojoo took the cap and put it on before zipping his bag and getting up. He picked up his bagpack and gave his usual smile towards Jinruk. "I'm ready!" The pink-haired male shook his head and smiled. He tapped the smaller male's head before manuvering him towards the kitchen. "Go eat Yul's food so you'll get energized. Also," Jinruk moved towards Yul and swung his arm around his friend, the two staring directly at their adventurous "child". "Just make sure you don't get hurt out there!"

If you would see Jinruk wearing something other than his usual shirt, shorts, and slip on shoes combo; then Jaehyun is who you need to thank. The pair aren't close-close but they're close enough for the fashionista to be able to rumage through Jinruk's clothes and pick an outfit for him if the other feels like the pink haired boy needs to dress up- and that's almost three times a week. Jaehyun just feels like Jinruk is the perfect muse to go and play with, mostly because of his height and great body- who wouldn't want to see their clothes on someone as good-looking as him? But it's Jinruk we're talking about here, he has almost zero interest in fashion (well not as bad as some members but he really prefers comfort over anything). Jinruk doesn't really mind honestly, and doesn't really see anything wrong with what Jaehyun's doing. The only thing that keeps them from being really close friends is the tendency of the older male to nag a bit, which Jinruk isn't really ready for yet.

Jinruk was nervous as hell, to say the least. It bothered him so much as to how his college could ever choose him for the annual Mr. and Ms. Health Science which would later lead to Mr. and Ms. University. He swallowed hard as he looked at himself in the mirror. As he was internally panicking, a figure reflected on the glass and caught his eye, this caused the ironman to turn around. It was Jaehyun, another uni prince member who's known for his unique fashion sense- also, the sole reason as to why Jinruk hasn't made a fool out of himself yet with his outfit choices. The fashionista walked towards his muse, who looked hella releaved seeing him- which he found fairly amusing. "So, am I wearing this right?" He heard the pink haired boy say as he reached out to adjust his creation on the male. "Shush, let me handle this." With a few more adjustments here and there, Jaehyun was satisfied. He ruffled Jinruk's hair a little to give it an "intended messy look" before he stepped back to observe. "Okay, now you're ready. So go out there and make tyour college proud!"
