"Okay," Jeongin directed, "We're gonna do the first kiss scene between Romeo and Juliet-" 

"WOOHOO!~" Hyunjin hooted in a silent room, and then he looked around, "No one? Oh, come on!" 

"...Anyways," Seungmin said, "Let me remind you all that Hyunjin and Jisung do not have to actually kiss each other-" 

"LESSGOOOOO!~" Jisung hooted this time, in the same, silent room, and he moved his gaze around, "I don't care, I'm too straight for this shit." 

That was when everyone started laughing. Even Seungmin let out a petty chortle. 

"SERIOUSLY?" 

"Jisung," Jake cracked up, "I don't think you could be less straight." 

"O-Okay, Australian homo." 

Chan and Felix looked beyond offended. 

"Alright! Positions, everyone!" Seungmin announced. 

"Positions? Is this an orgy or...?" Changbin asked, clueless, and the audience booed at the author for this joke. 

"I don't know why I know you," Seungmin let his arms fall in disappointment. 

Felix slammed the rolled up script on the table, and then proclaimed in slight annoyance, "Take your positions, actors!" 

Chan and Changbin might have been turned on by that, but that's just horny males being horny males. Don't mind them. 

As everyone meant for this scene stood on the stage, Jeongin announced, "Lights, positions, action!" 

Romeo (Hyunjin): May I have a dance with you, m'lady?

Juliet (Jisung): Why, certainly!

[Romeo takes Juliet along for a dance]

The Nurse (Chan): (sighs) Was I this horny, too, when I was a teen? God!

[Romeo and Juliet dance together, arms locked and moving seamlessly to the rhythm]

Romeo (Hyunjin): You know, m'lady, when I was born, I was cursed by a temperamental saint that I would die a terrible death. There was no revoking this curse, but a way to absolve it.

Juliet (Jisung): (intrigued) And what is it?

Romeo (Hyunjin): A kiss from a beautiful maiden. May I?

As Hyunjin puckered up his lips to kiss Jisung, the quokka leaned back and back, until he fell on his butt. 

"CUT!" Jeongin announced, walking up to the stage, "Jisung, the play is only a few days away! We need to get done with this scene!" 

"B-But you said that he wouldn't kiss me!" Jisung complained. 

Everyone turned to face Hyunjin, and he sheepishly rubbed his nape, "I, well..." 

"I feel like you're always high on viagra, man," Ava snickered, rubbing his shoulder gently, "But you know what? Consent is the key. Ask him if he wants to-" 

"Right!" Hyunjin got down on one knee, and took Jisung's hand in his, "Han Jisung, would you like to kiss me?" 

Jay and Changbin wiped their eyes in the corner, sniffling into their handkerchiefs, "Romance is not dead!" 

Jisung looked at his hand in Hyunjin's, a blush creeping up on his cheeks, and following his ex-roommate's tsundere footsteps, he averted his eyes and spat, "No." 

"Then why are you squeezing my hand?" Hyunjin raised a brow in amusement. 

Jisung gasped, drawing his hand back in a jiffy, and then grumbled, "To practice squeezing your neck the first chance I get!" 

"I do like choking, but-"

"I MEANT TO KILL YOU!" 

"That's kinda not one of my kinks? But I respect your kinks, too, no worries-" 

"AGH!" and the quokka babygirl stomped off the stage like a Y/N in a c.ai chatroom. 

"What... just happened?" Minho asked, and Ava walked up to him. For a moment, he thought the day was here: she was going to run up to him and kiss him and then they would fuck and then start a family and- 

"Lee, go after Jisung," she ordered him, placing her hands on her hips like a pregnant Hyunjin, "He's troubled, and I bet he has something he would rather share only with you."

"...Oh."

And then Minho sadly dragged himself out of the auditorium, looking for an embarrassed quokka, yelling, "HAN! HEY, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?"

"Literally two steps to your right, bro," Jisung spoke, crouched down beside the gate of the auditorium on the floor. 

Minho took a seat next to him, crossing his legs over each other on the floor, and then asked him, "What happened?" 

"Nothing," he drew circles on the floor with his finger. 

"Dude, I know you better than that," Minho spoke. 

"Uh huh? And so, why do you think I dashed out?" 

"You wanted to take a shit." 

Jisung just stared at him dead in the eye. 

"Okay, okay," Minho chuckled, "You have a crush on Hyunjin as well, and you're afraid to admit to it because he used to be your enemy. And now you cannot let that part go, because admitting to his liking would cost you your ego." 

Jisung turned to him in awe, "Bro...? You actually know me so well! Marry me-" 

"I have Ava for that." 

"The Minsung shippers are on their way to stab the author because of that." 

Minho shrugged, "Meh, she brought that upon herself." 

"So what do I do now?" 

"Send Bang Chan to protect the author-" 

"No, idiot! About the Hyunjin situation!" Jisung groaned. 

"I think... you should stop being an asshole to him," Minho spoke, and Jisung scoffed, saying, "As if you're any less than an asshole to Ava!" 

"Hey, I'm trying!" 

"Tell you what: the day you confess to Ava, I'll confess to Hyunjin." 

"...Deal." 

(a/n: okay, we're FINALLY getting somewhere!

Thanks for reading! I love you!)
