It turned out that people like Jongin and Taemin half-. Jongin couldn't say he's completely surprised, but it had gotten them minimal funding and some attention.

Kwon Jiyong had even congratulated them, so Kyungsoo, Taemin, Chaeyeon, and Jongin are sitting on the floor of Jongin and Chaeyeon's tiny apartment drinking cheap bottles of soju. 

Taemin blinked, and it was fairly obvious a brilliant idea had popped into his head. "So we're all the same age. Why do you guys have no life experience?"

Kyungsoo snorted a little, pointing to Chaeyeon and Jongin. "I was watching these two dolts." 

Chaeyeon and Jongin cracked matching grins at that.

"No, really. What did you even do in college? I was wasting my time being a trainee." Taemin takes another swig from his bottle, slurring slightly. 

Jongin shot back with a "What life experience do you have?"

"I've had a girlfriend unlike you losers."

Kyungsoo held up his bottle, cheering, "Here, here!"

Jongin couldn't argue with that line of logic. Drunk Taemin was too smart for his equally drunk self. 

Taemin squinted, not letting the subject go. "Have you even ever been in love before?"

"With each other? Mmmm, I don't know, Kyungsoo have you been in love with me?"

Kyungsoo found this uncharacteristically funny, and he giggled into his bottle. 

"Love." Chaeyeon swayed slightly, a stupid smirk on her face. "I love Minseok's abs."
