Author's Note: Really sorry for the late update, univ hell week on-going. I just wanted to update this for everyone who might be waiting! (; ^ ;)

------------

"I heard Donghae got applauded really well for his acting audition. Did you watch?" 

Hyukjae simply shrugged to Yesung's question as they walk along the corridors. 

"No hyung, I was busy in the dance practice room that time. I also got home even before it finished so I didn't see anything." 

Yesung hummed while fixing the earphones in his right ear. "I just got to know it from Ryeowook, apparently he got a romantic role while Ryeowook had a comedic drama. They both passed." 

"You're getting real close with that kid hyung? I can see through your moves, hmm." Hyukjae teased and started poking Yesung's sides. The older guy hissed and tried to dodge Hyukjae's attacks with his arms.

"Stop being childish, I was being friendly to a junior." 

"So you like younger boys?"

"Lee Hyukjae!" Yesung glared. Hyukjae chuckled and walked faster so he could avoid any attacks from Yesung if he got angry. 

Eventually, they separated and went into their respective classes which are from neighboring buildings. Hyukjae briskly walked towards his major subject, wondering if he should regret not watching Donghae because he is honestly very curious what Donghae looked like while acting.

Lunchbreak.

"I am absolutely pissed because of my professor so any of you do not bother talking nonsense or anything annoying in front of me or I will stab you with a fork." Heechul dramatically announced as he settled into his seat in the cafeteria. Hyukjae just arrived to hear all of that and quietly slipped on his set across him. 

Hangeng arrived at the same time with a lunch tray with his and his angry boyfriend's meal. "Please bear with him today." 

Yesung was the first one on the table and simply sipped his iced coffee while observing them. "We bear with him everyday, no biggie." 

Hyukjae simply kept quiet and was starting to eat his burger when he received a notification on his Messenger.

Donghae Lee sent you a message

Donghae: Hi Hyukjae! ^^ Just wanted to ask if you have free time this weekend so we can begin with our project? 

His eyes widened because he got surprised and this resulted to him choking on a piece of bread from his burger. Heechul saw this and groaned.

"Don't die in front of my face! Yesung give him water!" 

Yesung was flustered by the command. "I don't have water? But I have coffee."  So he removed the lid of his cup and placed it near Hyukjae's mouth. The poor guy, choking and desperate to clear his throat, drank the coffee. He immediately stopped after a few sips and grimaced.

"Damn, hyung your coffee is so bitter! I hate bitter coffee." Hyukjae whined while wiping his mouth. Yesung made a face towards him.

"Well, just choke then." 

"Uhm, do you need water? Because I have my tumbler..."

Everybody whipped their head and faced a concerned Donghae, in all his handsome glory. He has a tray with food and a tumbler was on it as well. Before Hyukjae could even respond, Heechul stood up and went near the guy.

"Oh thank you our knight in shining uniform! Come on Hyukjae drink this please so you would live longer." Heechul shamelessly grabbed the tumbler from Donghae's tray and opened the lid. Hyukjae was reluctant to receive it but he coughed again and Heechul widened his eyes threateningly at him, making him drink immediately.

"Thank you Donghae, you're really kind." Hangeng interjected and smiled at the guy. Donghae smiled brightly and bowed a bit towards his sunbae.
