Jongin grinned as Jongdae entered the room.

“Wah, this room is awesome.” Jongdae looked around.

“Hyung!” Jongin hugged Jongdae.

“Hi, Jongin.” Jongdae patted Jongin’s back.

“Hi, Jongdae.” Kyungsoo smiled.

“Kyungsoo!” Jongdae messied Kyungsoo’s hair which made the latter groan.

“I just fixed that!”

“Not sorry at all.”

“Oh, hyung! Meet our roommates!”

“Hello, I’m Kim Jongdae. Jongin’s hyung.” Jongdae bowed.

“Yah, Jongdae. You’re the oldest in here.”

“As far as I know, you’re older than me, Baekhyun.” Jongdae smirked.

“Yah!”

Jongdae stuck his tongue out.

“I’m Chan-“

“Chanyeol, I know who you are. You’re Baekhyun’s best friend.” Jongdae rolled his eyes.

“Wrong.” Baekhyun smirked.

Jongdae raised an eyebrow.

“I’m Chanyeol, Baekhyun’s best friend and boyfriend.” Chanyeol grinned as he pulled Baekhyun to his side.

“For real?!” Jongdae widen his eyes.

“I’m not single anymore.” Baekhyun stuck his tongue out.

“Aigoo, Kyungsoo, you better get a boyfriend soon!” Jongdae elbowed Kyungsoo.

Kyungsoo glared at Jongdae.

“Don’t worry, hyung! Wonwoo, Mingyu and I are still single! You’re not alone!” Jongin placed an arm around Kyungsoo.

“Aigoo, I miss my two favorite people!” Jongdae hugged both Kyungsoo and Jongin.

“We miss you too, hyung.” Jongin chuckled.

“I was about to bring my boyfriend along but he’s busy with his thesis.” Jongdae shrugged.

“Aww, I was looking forward to meeting him.” Jongin whined.

“Next time, dongsaeng.” Jongdae patted Jongin’s head.

“How about we hang out today?”

“Umm, you go. Have some sibling bonding.” Kyungsoo scratched his nape.

“Hyung, you should come with us.” Jongin held Kyungsoo’s hand and intertwined them.

Kyungsoo saw Jongdae glancing at their hands.

“You should definitely go, Kyungsoo! I didn’t come here only for Jongin.”

“Fine.” Kyungsoo sighed.

“Okay then. I’ll wait for you two to dress up.” Jongdae sat on Mingyu’s bed.

Jongin and Kyungsoo nodded.

Wonwoo was walking around the campus when he saw Mingyu and widen his eyes.

Mingyu was with his appa.

And Mingyu was being slapped by his appa.

“How many times did I have to tell you to go to the literary club instead of that stupid arts club?!”

“Appa, that’s what I like do-“

Mingyu’s appa slapped his son again.

“I didn’t let you enter this school to join that stuff!”

“But appa-“

“Quit arts club or I’m pulling you out of that school!”

Wonwoo’s eyes widen and he called Mingyu from his phone anxiously.

Mingyu widen his eyes as he saw the caller but still answered the call.

“Hello?” Mingyu’s hand was shaking.

“Mingyu, listen to me. Quit arts club.”

“No, I can’t do that.” Mingyu shook his head as tears fall from his eyes.

“Do it, please. Just quit the club.”

“No, I can’t do that. It’s my dream. You out of all people should know that.” Mingyu curled his hand into a fist.

“The heck, Mingyu! Stop being so stubborn and join what your appa said. You can write well, you can depict emotion, you’re not lacking in that area!”

“I love that club. Why are you being like this?” Mingyu groaned.

“Because I can’t afford to lose you!”

Mingyu was frozen.

Wonwoo… can’t afford to lose Mingyu?

“If he pulls you out, I don’t know if we’ll ever see each other again, Mingyu. Now, don’t let him pull you out. Please stay. I promised you that I won’t let you get hurt. But how can I fulfill that if you’re not going to stay by my side?”

Mingyu’s appa took the phone from Mingyu.

“A-Appa!”

“Who is this?!”

Wonwoo’s eyes widen and tears fell from his eyes. His hands were shaking that the cellphone fell from his grip.

“Yah, answer me!”

When Wonwoo still didn’t reply, Mingyu’s appa glared at his son.

“Who are you talking to, huh?!”

Mingyu bit his lip.

Because he didn’t like his son’s silence, Mingyu’s appa punched his so
