Jaemin falls onto the floor, panting heavily. His dance mates soon joined him, all of them sprawled out around the room. Jaemin groans and grabs his water bottle, taking a long drink.

"I swear...Coach actually wants to kill us." Minho says, shaking his head tiredly. Beomgyu laughs and nods along.

"By the time prelims get here, we'll be too weak to stand." Ten adds, only half-joking.

"I'll say." Taeyong rolls his eyes. "I just want some goddamn Korean beef."

Hoshi raises his hand in a salute. "Preach."

"If we make it to the quarter-finals, then coach better treat us to dinner. If he doesn't then he's homophobic." Wooyoung says and crosses his arms. San nods in agreement.

Jaemin laughs and turns to the youngest dancer. He pats Jisung on the back. "You ok kid?"

"Mhm, just too tired to talk right now..."

"I get you man." Hyunjin points his chin in Jisung's direction. All the boys were tired and sweaty, they had been practicing for god knows how long and coach had left the room half-way through practice.

"Where is that man anyway?"

"Who honestly knows," San says, rolling his eyes. "Probably talking to his girlfriend."

Jaemin raises an eyebrow in disbelief. "He has one?"

San shrugs. "Apparently. Me and Woo caught him on FaceTime with this lady who was kissing the phone camera." The 9 other boys groan in disgust.

"Didn't need the details San, my god." Minho glares at the boy, making him laugh. Jaemin smiles at his friends and takes out his phone.

Jaemin taps Ten on the shoulder. "How long do you think we'll be here?"

"Honestly who knows-"

Minho cuts him off. "Half an hour, and if Coach doesn't come back in the next 10 minutes then I'm chilling for the rest of the time." Ten sighed and gestures to Minho's answer.

Nana_supreme:

Jaemin smiles down at his text chat, quite happy about seeing Chan again. Even though they've only met once, Jaemin was already in love. The baby was just too cute. He chuckles and locks his phone- only to have it ripped out of his hands.

"Hyung! Give it back!"

"Nuh-uh." Hyunjin wags his finger. "Not until I see who's got you smiling so brightly. I haven't seen that smile in a long time." Hyunjin unlocks the boy's phone and opens up his texts.

"I regret giving you my phone passcode."

"Well, I'm glad you did~," The older says in a sing-song voice as he scrolls through the messages. "Ooh~ Who's J.nono?"

"His name is Jeno and he's just a friend!" Jaemin says, trying to get his phone away from Hyunjin. The older just laughs and hands the phone to Ten who smirks knowingly. "You guys are so mean~ Jisungie!!"

The young boy turns away, raising a brow. "What...?"

"Help me get my phone."

"Don't! Just take the phone Jisung. Be a good dongsaeng and listen to me." Taeyong takes the phone from Ten and scrolls through it before handing it to Jisung and pointing at the texts.

Jisung laughs and looks at Jaemin. "He called you cute!"

"I AM AWARE! NOW GIVE ME MY PHONE!" Jaemin scrambles to stand and chases after the younger boy. Jisung runs around the room, passing the phone to Beomgyu who passes it to San.

Giving up, Jaemin sits in the corner and holds his head in his hands, hoping to just die in embarrassment. "You guys are so mean to me." Is what he mumbles from his fetal-like position on the floor, making his friends laugh. He sticks his head out, pouting. "IT'S NOT FUNNY!"

Hoshi snickers and walks over to the honey-haired boy, patting his back. "You're right, it's not funny." He pauses, composing himself before smiling widely. "It's fricken hilarious."

"OH FUCK YOU GUYS!"

"Uncle Nana!" A baby comes waddle-running towards a very tired Jaemin. But, knowing he had to be energetic for the toddler, Jaemin smiles wide and picks the 3-year-old. He places the baby on his hip, cooing at the happy child.

"Channie, it's been a while since I've seen you," Jaemin says happily as he walks to where Jeno stood. "Hey." He smiles at his friend.

Jeno greets him back. "Hey. Do you want me to carry your gym bag."

Jaemin sighs. "If you wouldn't mind, please."

"Not a problem." He then turns to the baby in Jaemin's arms. "Alright kiddo, ready to head back home?"

Clapping, Chan happily answers. "Is Uncle Nana coming with us?"

"Yup."

"Then we go!" The baby puts his fists up in a superman pose, making the two teenagers laugh as they walk to the bus stop.

Jisung turns to Ten, whispering lightly. "They look like a family."

Ten nods. "Indeed they do. I bet you by the end of the month, Jaemin will realize he likes Jeno."

Hyunjin buts into the conversation, slinging his arm over Jisung's shoulder. "I bet 15,000 won that he'll have a crush on Jeno by the end of the next two weeks."

"Alright, sounds good." Ten smirks.
