Weeks have passed since I've unwillingly integrated with Jongin's clique. Rumors over my relations with them have long since faded, though I still feel the occasional stare or murmur behind my back.

I sigh, remembering the last time Jongin looked just a bit too promiscuous for both of our welfares. He wasn’t shirtless, but I don’t suppose a translucent-from-sweat white muscle tank is much more PG.
“Um, hello? Are you there?” Baekhyun waves his hand into my focus. I blink.
“Yeah,” I utter out an answer, thankfully just aware enough of my surroundings to not have gone full vegetable.
Jongdae smiles, the corners of his lips turning up in that cute signature manner of theirs, though their actual appearance means anything but harmless.

Kyungsoo doesn't say a word as usual, though I can suspect that ther
