“Baek, say aaah.”

“You stupid jock! Are you crazy?!”

“Come on, I want to feed you!”

“Hey guys. I’m still here, you know? But nice pleonasm there, Baek.”

“Thanks, Jongdae. And yeah, you’re right! You’re still here!”

“I’m always right.”

“Boo~”

“Yeol, stop pouting. You’re creepy.”

“Tsk. Fine.”

“Baekhyun, my dear friend.”

“What is it, Jongdae?”

“You took the words right out of my mouth.”

“No need to thank me.”

“You two nerds are really mean with me.”

“Baekhyun, why don’t you dump him and go out with me instead?”

“Yah, Baek is dating me!”

“I’d already be dating you, Jongdae, if my brains were the ones controlling my feelings but–”

“Woah. You can be proud of yourself, cat-mouthed boy. Your evilness has completely rubbed off on Baek.”

“– but they’re not and my heart, somehow, is going wild for the giant who’s sitting in front of us.”

“Woohoo! Chanyeol, one! Jongdae, zero!”

“Yah, Jongdae. Where's your smart comeback? And why do you suddenly have this disgustingly creepy expression on your face?”

"..."

“Yo, Chanyeol! Your passes are as precise as always.”

“Hey, Kris! Nice dunk earlier.”

“Thanks. Can I sit with you guys?”

“Sure. Sit next to me, captain.”

“Hi there, I’m Kris.”

“I’m Baekhyun, nice to meet you.”

“And he’s taken, so don’t touch him.”

“Okay, sure. And what’s your name?”

“…”

“Yah, Jongdae. What’s wrong with you? Aren’t you going to answer?”

“…”

“Baek, your best friend looks like a gaping fish right now.”

“Uh, guys? Am I imagining things or your friend is staring at me? Like, real hard?”

“Oh. I know what’s going on. I looked the same when I was 11 years old.”

“Huh? What are you talking about, Baekhyun?”

“Nothing. Take good care of him for me, okay Kris?”

“Uh, sure?”

“Thanks! I’ll leave him in your hands and take Chanyeol instead then!”

“Yeah, okay?”

“Oh, Kris!”

“Yeah?”

“His name’s Jongdae. Don’t forget it.”

“Got it.”
