~Time skip: 3 months~

Younghoon didn't have any classes to attend that day, so he hung around at home since the others had clubs to attend in the afternoon after their morning class. He flipped to the next page in a book he was reading and was startled by the sound of his door opening. "Hoon dear, you're not going to stay home all day, right?" "I was. I disturbed Juyeon enough last night." His mother sighed then closed the door behind her. His phone started vibrating, so he picked it up to see who was calling. "Who's number is this..." He declined the call and went back to reading. His phone began vibrating again and it was the same number. Once again, he declined the call.

Just as he was reading a scary part in the book, his phone started vibrating, thus startling him. "God, I can't get any peace..." He noticed Juyeon was calling which he wasn't expecting. "Hey, are you busy?" "My busy and your busy are two different things." "So, I'm guessing you are. I told you that's why he wasn't answering." Younghoon was curious as to who Juyeon was talking to. "Who are you talking to?" "Changmin. We bumped into each other on campus and he wanted to see if you wanted to hang out today." Younghoon bookmarked the page and set the book aside. "I guess we could. What did he have in mind?" He noticed it was quiet on the other side. "The dance studio at school." Juyeon hung up after his confirmation and Younghoon got himself ready to head to the school.

Younghoon walked over to the dance studio then stood outside of it for a bit to collect himself. He opened the door and was surprised at the sight of Changmin dancing to a classic song. He secretly started recording and planned to use it against him in the future. "Didn't think he was into girl group songs. That's cute." he thought as he ended his recording. "Changmin?" Younghoon watched amusedly as he scrambled to turn the music off. "Oh, you're here." He could see the faint blush on Changmin's cheeks. "Your dancing was top notch. 10/10." Changmin laughed nervously, so Younghoon gave him a pat on the back. "Don't feel embarrassed. It was an enjoyable experience." "Well, that wasn't why I wanted you to come. I wanted a second opinion on my dance routine. I'm worried that it's not good enough." "I could try to help."

Younghoon sat down on the floor and waited for Changmin to start. The song started and Younghoon was surprised by how Changmin's soft face had instantly changed. He watched every move as he felt he was under a spell. The routine was powerful, Changmin was powerful. Younghoon felt something bubbling up inside him as  he continued to watch Changmin. Both the song and Changmin finished and the only sound heard was Changmin's haggard breathing.

"Well?" "It looked great to me. Though, you were slower towards the end. Build up your stamina." He watched as Changmin collapsed onto the floor and started laughing lightly. "Do you mind locating my water?" Younghoon looked around and spotted a bag not too far from the speaker. He looked in the bag that he assumed was Changmin's and found a water bottle. "Your such a kind soul." "Who said I was giving it to you?" He noticed Changmin started to get up but immediately gave up. Younghoon slid the bottle to Changmin who quickly downed its contents.

"Changmin." "Yeah?" Younghoon sighed then changed his position on the floor. "Chanhee..." "Are you asking if we're a thing? Is that it?" "No...I was asking if Chanhee mentioned anything to you." Changmin let out a sigh of relief then looked at him. "Be specific." "Like, anything about me?" "Did you do something you weren't supposed to? Or, do you have a crush and want to know if he likes you back?" Younghoon quickly shook his head which caused Changmin to laugh.

"To answer your question, he hasn't. He seems more interested in me nowadays. Why do you ask?" "Oh, he...he hasn't talked to me in a while and I haven't seen him around despite having almost the same schedule." Younghoon felt Changmin pat his back. "Don't worry, I'm sure he's just busy." Younghoon looked at their red-peach string that had become lighter.

They heard the door open and saw Chanhee standing in the doorway. "So you found help. I wasted my time coming over here then. Why didn't you tell me?" "Didn't cross my mind. My sincerest apologies." Chanhee sighed then looked at Younghoon. "Hey, Younghoon. How have you been?" "Decent. You?" "Could be better." Younghoon gestured for Chanhee to join them but something told Chanhee it was best if he didn't. "I have things to do. We can catch up in class tomorrow. Later."
