I shall continue to thank my best bro NyanNai for being my beta.

Also, this is a double update on the same day cuz Taeyong's chapter had way too much moping and feelings, and Johnny's chapter is extremely short.

And update on the relationships:

Hansol and Ten live together.

Hansol is crazy about Yuta.

Hansol, Yuta, and Taeyong are friends and hang out because they're all senior year business majors who have classes together.

Taeyong and Jaehyun live together, and are childhood not-quite-friends. Therefore, Jaehyun also hangs out with Hansol and Yuta.

Taeyong has a big fat embarrassing crush on Jaehyun.

Taeyong is everybody's dance class assistant, so he runs rehearsals.

Ten doesn't know yet but he likes Johnny. Hansol knows though.

Johnny is familiar with Jaehyun, but doesn't really know Taeyong.

Johnny is a floater, riding on the high of small moments and perfect for entertaining some mates. He was just another magpie drawn in by the shimmer of Hansol’s person. Yuta makes perfect sense. Yuta is like gold. He’s charismatic and genuine, doesn’t twinkle in attention like Hansol, but there’s a steady sort of shine to him.

Ten goes, “Jesus, still, I didn’t mean to shut you down like that,” looking like he had accidentally kicked a puppy. “And technically, it doesn’t mean he can’t like you still? His crush isn’t any less one sided than yours anyhow...”

“No, no, it’s fine. You don’t have to like- keep my hopes and dreams intact or anything- I mean, not that I’m saying it was my hopes and dreams-” Johnny babbles, waving his hands in front of him, because why does Ten look sadder about this than Johnny does. He takes a breath before saying with finality, “It’s fine. It wasn’t like I’m in love with him or anything. I’ll get o
