Everything seemed to pass by very fast especially when your schedules are packed with projects and school work. 2 months had gone by ever since school started. Thanks to Yuri's idea of wearing the couple tees on our first day, most of our school mates were already aware of our relationship status. With the addition of our cars being parked in the school compound, it seemed to me that there's an increase of attention from students towards our group.

"Hey Jae, did you notice anything different between last year and this year?" Taeyeon asked me as I just sat in our living room. 

We had just ended our futsal practices and I was feeling tired so I just shook my head to Taeyeon.

"What difference do you see, Taeng? Are you referring to the number of intakes we had for our futsal team this year? Or about the students who kept asking about our cars?" Yuri asked as she joined me on the couch. 

This year, we managed to recruit 4 new members into our team which was double the intake of the previous year where only Yoona and me was recruited. All of the new members were our juniors and had just enrolled into our university. About the students who kept asking about our cars that were parked behind our dorms, I guessed they were just admiring the cars.

"I still can't believe my good friend Min will be in the same team as us. I lost contact with her ever since she left the dancing school to follow her family to Japan and further her studies there. She was also not aware that I'm in this university. I guess it's just luck that we both met each other but too bad she's a year junior and is taking a different course." Hyoyeon said with a smile as she talked about one of the newcomers, Min, who happened to be her long lost bestfriend.

"Hyomin is your friend?" Sooyoung suddenly asked as she walked out from her room to join us after keeping her stuff. When Hyoyeon explained things out by saying that she was talking about Min and not Hyomin, Sooyoung nodded her head but there was a frown on her face.

"What's wrong, Soo? You were mentioning Hyomin's name earlier." I asked as the other girls looked at Sooyoung.

"This past 2 months, did you guys notice how Hyomin behaves everytime Sunny is around?" Sooyoung asked but when she didn't receive any reaction from us, she continued talking. "You guys knew that Ms Lee had given Sunny the permission to use practice time to revise on her studies since she's not a team player like us so she doesn't have to attend practices regularly, right? I notice that Hyomin seems to be more hyper during practice only when Sunny is around."

"I didn't really notice about Hyomin but I notice that Hara and Hyuna seem to be fighting for Yul's attention. " Taeyeon replied as I suddenly thought of something.

"Hey Yul. Do you realise that the two girls are being extra clingy on you? They kept wanting to be on your team whenever we have our practice matches and even during drills, they kept asking for your assistance. I also notice that lately, Yoona had been quiet and not as cheerful as before." I asked as Yuri sighed and leaned back on the couch. 

"It's so obvious that the 2 of them got a crush on you. To me, Hara is quite good with her speed amd ball control but Hyuna doesn't seem like she's got what it takes to be a good futsal player. She's too whiny and looks more like a cheerleader material." Hyoyeon voiced out her opinion. "Hara is not as flirtatious as Hyuna and knowing you Yul, I suggest you keep your distance from both of them if you don't want Yoona to be upset."

"We are just friends. Teammates. Why are you all saying as if I'm going to cheat on Yoona?" Yuri suddenly got a bit agitated as it took all of us by surprise. Seeing our shocked faces, Yuri sighed again. "Mianhae. I didn't mean to lose my temper. It's just that Yoona had been breathing down my neck about how upset she is with regards to my closeness with Hara and Hyuna. Even though I kept telling her that we are just friends, she doesn't seem to trust me."

"Try putting yourself in her shoes, Yul. You are always very friendly to everyone which it's not a bad thing though but if you entertain other girls too well, obviously your girlfriend won't be too happy about it. I think all of us need to bring our girlfriends out for a date soon. It's been almost a month since we last went out as a group." I said as everyone started nodding their heads. 

We decided to rest for the night since I've still got classes tomorrow for my business degree. As I walked to my room, I took my phone and texted Jessica. 

To Sicababy:

Are you asleep already?

To Jaegi:

I was about to turn in when your message came in. I thought you were already asleep since it's almost midnight. Don't you have classes tomorrow?

To Sicababy:

I do but we had a small group chat earlier and I had just entered my room. 

To Jaegi:

Group chat? Is everything alright? But you need to go and sleep, Jaegi. I don't want you to be tired for your class. You are already showing signs of fatigue lately and it's worrying me. :(

To Sicababy:

I'll sleep after this. I just missed you a lot, Sicababy. Even though we saw each other at the gym earlier and also while walking back to the dorm, it felt so fast for me. Sometimes I regret taking the dual degree since I don't have much free time to spend with you.

To Jaegi:

I miss you too, Jaegi but your Appa has always wanted you to take up the business degree for your future. Let's just persevere and you should sleep soon. Your class is at 8am tomorrow and I want you to have enough rest.

To Sicababy:

How did you know my class schedule?

To Jaegi:

Did you forget that Sunny is taking the same course as you? She's the first one to head to bed jut now and kept saying that she's having classes at 8am tomorrow. Which is why I thought you would've been sleeping by now.

To Sicababy:

Ohhh.. I forgot about Sunny. I'll sleep now. Good night, Sicababy. Dream of me tonight, okay. :p

********************************

Jessica's POV:

After saying good night to Jaegi, I put my phone aside and lied down on my bed. Group chat? Wonder what the 5 of them were discussing about. Were they talking about the new recruits? Frankly speaking, ever since their futsal team welcomed the 4 new members, things seem to have a slight change among us. Seohyun has been telling us about how Hyoyeon seem to be talking only about Min almost everytime they meet up. Yoona was complaining about how she's pissed off with the way Hyuna and Hara behave when they are around Yuri. What agitates Yoona is that Yuri seem to be entertaining their nonsenses. Sunny on the other hand seems to have a new secret admirer but that is only from my observations. I don't think Sunny is even aware of it since she rarely attends practice. That Hyomin girl looks as if she's got a little crush on our little bunny. Well, even though I'm happy that my Jaegi is not affected by any of the new recruits, I'm still concerned for the other girls. I still remembered what happened after last week practice.

(Flashback last week)

We had just finished our practices and were all walking back with our respective girlfriends when Yoona came up to me and Jae. She was walking alongside us without saying a word as Jae gave me an eye signal, asking me to ask Yoona what's wrong since she was walking beside me.

"Yoona, where's Yuri?" I asked softly, trying to avoid further attention from the other girls who were walking ahead of us.

"I don't know and I don't care." Yoona answered me sharply without even looking up as she continued walking with her eyes on the ground.

I noticed Jae kept turning behind after Yoona's answer so I followed her gaze. I then realised why Yoona was acting that way. Yuri was still at the school's gym entrance door, talking to two girls. Even though Yuri kept looking at our direction, she seemed to be unable to move away from them.

"Are those the new recruits?" I whispered to Jae who nodded her head but I noticed that Jae was a bit pissed off.

"Hey Yul, palli. Everyone's waiting for you." I heard Jae shouted at Yuri's direction which made me confused a bit since everyone was just walking ahead instead of waiting for Yuri.

I saw Yuri kept bowing to the girls before running off towards us and stood beside Jae. By then, Yoona had walked ahead and leaving the 3 of us behind.

"Thanks, Jae." Yuri said the moment she arrived but quickly ran ahead after Jae waved her hands at her and pointed to Yoona.

"Is everything okay between the two of them?" I asked Jae and pointed to YoonYul couple who were now walking beside each other but without any interaction.

"Hopefully everything is okay." Jae replied and smiled at me while she put her arm around my waist.

Even though it was not the first time that she did that, her small actions and soft touches always gave me those tingling feelings inside me, making me blushed. Lucky for me, we were almost reaching our campus so after saying our goodbyes, all of us went into our own dorms. I was the last one in and had just closed the door behind me when I saw Yoona opening the fridge to grab a bottle of ice water.

"Is everything okay between you and Yul?" I asked with a concerned tone of voice.

Yoona took a sip of the water and looked straight at me before shrugging her shoulders. "I don't know. Sometimes it feels like there's nothing wrong but there were times when I feel like something is not right."

"Because of the new recruits?" I probed further as I took a seat at the dining chair. "They seem to be extra clingy on Yul though."

"That's what I said to Yul too but she said that there are just teammates and needed her help at times. When I kept telling her about their closeness to her instead of with other girls, Yul kept saying that I sounded as if I don't trust her. I really don't know what else to say or do about it." Yoona sighed as she leaned against the cabinet.

"Do you trust Yul?" I asked as Yoona looked up and after a few seconds of frowning, she slowly nodded her head. "So I guess you should try to be more patient with the situation and try not to keep asking Yul about it."

Yoona smiled weakly at me and nodded her head. After saying her thanks to me for being a listening ear, both of us went to our own rooms.

********************************

I was trying my best to concentrate in class but nothing seem to be registered into my head. My eyes were getting heavier and I was about to close them when I felt a nudge on my right elbow. Turning my head slowly to my right, I saw Sunny glaring at me. I sighed sofly and straightened my sitting position in the hopes of staying awake. Suddenly, Sunny passed me a piece of paper.

'Did you sleep late last night?'

I read the sentence once and wrote down my answer. 'Not that late. Around 1am.' After passing the paper back to Sunny, it took her about a few seconds to start writing on it and passed it back to me.

'1am? No wonder Sica kept messaging me to ask me to keep a look out for you. She said that you might be sleepy in class. Did the two of you stayed up to chat on the phone last night?'

It took me some time to read the long sentences. Seeing Sica's name brought a smile on my face. 'We didn't talk for long. We ended our chat before midnight. It's just that I couldn't fall asleep straight after our talk. There was a lot of things on my mind.'

Sunny was about to pass the paper back to me after a few minutes but she stopped when the lecturer announced a 15mins break for everyone. The moment I heard that, I quickly changed my sitting position and was just about to close my eyes when Sunny poked me in my cheeks.

"Yah, are you going to spend the 15mins break taking a nap?' Sunny asked as she finally gave the paper to me.

I opened it and read her reply. 'A lot of things in mind? Is everything okay between you and Sica?' I folded the paper and kept it aside.

"Everything is fine between me and Sica. I'm just concerned for the other girls." I replied as Sunny suddenly turned and gave me her full attention.

"Other girls? Who?" Sunny asked as I sighed but didn't reply her question. "Yah, aren't you going to reply my question. Is it Soo?"

Looking at Sunny's worried face, I shrugged my shoulders causing her to slap me on my arm. "Soo or maybe Hyo but I'm more worried about Yul."

"Is it because of the new recruits? About Hara and Hyuna being very clingy to Yul and also about Hyomin?" Sunny replied, shocking me since I didn't expect Sunny to be aware of the situation since she's usually not around during practice.

"I'm not surprise that you knew about Hara and Hyuna since it's pretty obvious but what is it about Hyomin?" I asked to reconfirm my doubt.

"Well, even though I'm not always attending the practices with all of you, I actually spend my time revising at the gym on the 2nd level. From there, I was able to observe a few things. I noticed how Hyomin doesn't seem to be so proactive when I'm not around. Always by herself and doesn't really mingle well with others. But when I joined you all, she's so excited and hyper suddenly." Sunny explained herself.

"That's exactly what Soo said last night." I replied as I saw Sunny's shocked expression. "The 5 of us had a brief group chat before going off to sleep last night and we actually talked about the new recruits."

"Is Soo okay?" Sunny asked as she frowned a bit. "I've never actually talked about this with her before because I thought that if I just feigned ignorance, everything will just go off by itself since I think Hyomin's crush on me is just a passing phase."

"We didn't really talked much on it actually. Like I said, it was just a brief chat. We were all more concerned about Hara and Hyuna being clingy on Yul since I've noticed that Yoona doesn't seem to be as cheerful as before. One thing about Yul is that she's the kind of person who doesn't know how to reject other people. She always think of the good side of others." I explained as Sunny nodded her head.

15mins of break was soon over as our class resumed until it ended at 11am. After that short talk with Sunny, I was able to concentrate on the lesson in the 2nd half. While walking out from the auditorium, I heard someone calling out our names as both me and Sunny stopped walking and turned around. Seohyun was running and waving her hands at us. Seohyun also had her classes in the auditorium besides ours as the 3 of us then walked together to our dorms but just before we were able to take the lift up, my phone rang.

"Jae, is Sunny and Seohyun with you?" I heard Taeyeon's voice on the other line.

"Yes. Both of them are with me. What's up?" I asked as I gestured for Sunny and Seohyun to wait for a while and not enter the lift.

"The girls were thinking of going out for dinner and watch a movie later. Soo and Hyo will be informing their girlfriends now. We need you to contact Sica and asked her about it." Taeyeon replied just at the same time when I heard Sunny's and Seohyun's phones beeped.

"Okay. I'll text and ask her about it. By the way, the 3 of us are already at our dorm's lobby and making our way up. I'll see you later." I hung up the phone after Taeyeon said her reply.

"Dinner and movie?" Sunny was the first one to ask as Seohyun nodded her head and showed Hyoyeon's message to us. "Sounds good to me. Are the rest of you planning to contact your own girlfriends or do you need me to ask them?'

"Taeng told me to inform Sica so I guess everyone will be informing their respective girlfriends." I said as I pressed the lift button.

********************************

As what we planned, the ten of us met again at the dorm's lobby at 6pm for our dinner and movie date. All of us were dressed casually as we walked to our campus carpark just behind our dorms. Looking at the 5 cars parked beside each other, I can understand why some students were admiring them. From far, it looked like a car roadshow. I opened the passenger door and let Jessica in before walking to the other side to enter.

(Inside Hyun Jae's car)

"Jaegi, did you manage to get some sleep earlier? Sunny was telling me that you almost doze off in class." Jessica said as I started the engine of my car.

"I manage to get about 2hrs sleep earlier. After coming back from the lecture, I did some revision from 12pm to 2pm. Then took a nap from 2pm to 4pm before getting ready for our date." I smiled at Jessica before turning my focus in front as I saw Taeyeon giving me a signal to drive off first.

(Inside Taeyeon's car)

"What have you been doing since morning, Taetae?" Tiffany said as she shifted her position and leaned nearer to Taeyeon.

"Sleeping, cleaning my room and did some drawings. How about you?" Taeyeon replied as she gave the light signal for Hyun Jae to move off first.

"I was just doing some sketches on fashion designing with Jessi. But she was more interested in her phone. I think she's busy messaging Sunny to keep a look out for Jae. Jessi told me that she noticed Jae looks tired recently." Tiffany replied as she played with the audio system in the car.

"Jae does look tired lately. I guess all the school work and projects are taking a toll on her. But don't worry. We are there to make sure she don't over exert herself." Taeyeon replied as she followed Hyun Jae's car from behind.

(Inside Sunny's car)

"Bunny, how's class earlier? What is difficult?" Sooyoung asked as her eyes focused in front when she saw Taeyeon's car made a move out from the carpark.

"It was kind of boring but I had a quick chat with Jae and found out something interesting." Sunny said as she turned sideways to look at Sooyoung.

"Something interesting? About the class?" Sooyoung replied as she turned momentarily to look at Sunny who shook her head before focusing back to the road.

"About Hyomin." Sunny saw Sooyoung's shocked expression before a frown emerged on her face. "Frankly, I've been observing Hyomin lately and I think she's got a little crush on me. But it's just my guts feelings. It might not be true."

"A little crush? It's a huge crush. Did you see how her face lit up everytime you were around? But I don't think you knew how she behaves when you're not around." Sooyoung said as she let out a small sigh.

"I know, my dear shikshin. I always do my revision at the gym on the 2nd floor while all of you were going through your practices. My initial plan was to keep my eyes on you since I always love to see you when you play especially when you did well, catching the ball. But at the same time, I also saw how Hyomin acts when I'm not around. She looks lethargic and doesn't really mingle well with the others." It was Sunny's turn to form a frown on her face.

"I'm certain that she's got a crush on you. A big crush. Otteoke?" Sooyoung pouted as the cars stopped at a traffic light.

"I think it's just a passing phase. Don't worry, okay. Everyone knows that we're a couple and I'm only yours." Sunny said with her cute aegyo to Sooyoung.

(Inside Yuri's car)

"Why are you being quiet since just now? Is everything okay? Are you feeling unwell?" Yuri asked Yoona after silence had engulfed the car since the both of them entered it.

"I'm fine. I just don't have anything to talk about." Yoona asked as she continued to look outside the window.

"Nothing to talk about?" Yuri asked as she let out a sigh. "Are you angry with me again?"

"I'm not. I just..." Yoona turned to look at Yuri who was looking straight at her. "I just feel like if I start talking, both of us will end up quarrelling like what we've been doing lately. And I don't want to spoil the mood for everyone."

Yuri was about to say something when she heard a horn from Hyoyeon's car who was behind them. Yuri's car had stopped earlier behind Sooyoung's car at the traffic light and Yuri didn't realise that the lights had turned green while she listened to Yoona's words earlier. Putting her left hand out of the window as a gesture of apologising to Hyoyeon, Yuri stepped on the gas and forgot about what she wanted to say to Yoona.

(Inside Hyoyeon's car)

"Yeonnie, what did you do earlier before this?" Seohyun asked after Hyoyeon showed a thumbs up to Yuri in front who had made a move ahead.

"I met up with Min after sending you to your lecture and we spend the next 2hrs at the school gym doing some random dance move. Can't believe that both of us can still remember some of our old dance moves that we did together before. It was so cool but tiring at the same time. Min said that she didn't had a good dance partner when she was studying in Japan." Hyoyeon replied as she concentrated on the road without realising that Seohyun was pouting.

"It's always about Min." Seohyun mumbled softly as she looked out the window.

"Did you say something, Hyunnie?" Hyoyeon took a glance at Seohyun who were already looking at the window. "How's class by the way? Are you able to cope with everything? Is it hard?"

Hearing Hyoyeon showing concern over her, Seohyun turned to look back at her girlfriend. "Well, it's difficult but manageable. I just need to revise more of my syllabus."

"You're really amazing, do you know that Hyunnie? You always make me feel proud to have you as my girlfriend. Even Min is jealous of me for having such a clever and beautiful girlfriend like you." Hyoyeon word's put a smile on Seohyun's face as she said her thanks.

By then, the 5 cars had reached the shopping mall and after parking their cars, they made a move to BBQ restaurant which Taeyeon had made reservations earlier. The girls had their normal group chat as usual but behind all the laughters and teasings, there were 2 girls who were keeping their true feelings aside. Once dinner was over, they made their way to catch a movie.

(Author's note)

My sincere apology to alll my readers for the late update. I've been away for a vacation to Seoul from Sept 17th to Sept 27th. Initially, I wanted to update while I was there since the WIFI was superb but I guess I tire myself out from all the sighseeings that I was not able to do so. It was my first time to Korea as I visited Seoul and Jeju Island. Was a great and memorable experience. Once again, my sincere apology to everyone and thank you for waiting. Enjoy the lastest update and I promise to not let you wait this long for the next chapter. Take care.
