“Cheol hyung's here, Soonyoung hyung,” Chan told him as the younger handed him his towel. Soonyoung looked up from his phone - he was watching a video of their practice earlier - and saw the basketball player by the studio’s door. Seungcheol waved him over. His brows furrowed together in confusion. He stood up and walked towards him.
