"I still respect you, Professor Kim. Don't worry, I won't let this competition of ours get in the way of my performance on your class," Sehun said.

"That's good to hear, Sehun," Jongin answered, "I assure you that I won't take this personally."

"Make the best man win?"

"Yes."

The two shared a handshake, and just in time, Hyoyeon went out of the kitchen.

"Oh, I'm sorry, am I disturbing you?" Hyoyeon asked in surprise. She was surprised to see her bestfriend and her professor shaking hands as if they just ended a deal.

"Ah, no. Umm... Hyoyeon, I need to go now. It's getting late, and I know you need to rest," Sehun said, as he stood up, and grabbed his bag.

"I see, I see. Thank you for the fruits, Sehun," Hyoyeon smiled, then she turned to Jongin, "How about you, Professor Kim?"

"I'll sta--" Jongin intended to stay with Hyoyeon, but Sehun cut off what he was supposed to say, "Professor Kim needs to go now too. We will go now," Sehun said, as he gave a serious look on Jongin, "Professor Kim, we need to go," he repeated, putting an emphasis on the pronoun 'we'.

Jongin smirked, "Yeah, sure. I'll leave now," he sighed as he stood up, "Take care, Miss Kim."

"Okay, Professor. Goodbye," Hyoyeon said, "Thank you for the fruits too, and for visiting. And please tell Minseok to take care too. I need him at work."

"Sure," Jongin said, as Sehun secretly pulled him towards the door.

"Bye Hyo!"
