"Huening-ah, stop sulking!" Taehyung rubbed his temple in annoyance, "It's been a whole hour! Stop complaining!"

Jimin and Jeongguk giggled as Hueningkai whined out, "But still! You hugged Soobin hyung before me even though you saw me! You are seeing your younger brother after such a long time and-"

"It's been only three days since we last talked, Hyuka," Taehyung said in a flat tone, causing Hueningkai to scrunch up his nose and glare at his hyung.

"Honestly though, Huening," Jimin interrupted, trying his best not to burst into another fit of giggles," There's no need to make such a huge issue out of this. TaeTae did apologize, didn't he?"

"Not you too, Jimin hyung," Kai huffed, "I'm his younger brother! I have every right to-"

"Ningning!"

Everyone instantly turned around to be met with a very excited- and energetic-looking boy with blonde highlights in his black wolf cut. Hueningkai screamed back in equal excitement, "Gyu hyung!"

They crashed into a hug almost immediately, squealing and giggling like schoolgirls in the happiness of seeing each other after such a long time, and attracting a lot of attention in the process.

"They're so embarrassing, oh god," A shorter redheaded boy with slightly bigger-than-average eyes emerged from behind Beomgyu, shaking his head in utter humiliation.

"Oh cut the crap, Tyun! I know you're excited to see me too!" And with that, Taehyun was sucked into the hug-vortex.

"Mmph- 'et me g – mm-," Muffled protests could be heard from Taehyun before he was finally released, breath coming in gasps as he tried to retrieve the lost oxygen.

"I feel like I just ran a marathon," Taehyun panted out as the oldest trio chuckled sympathetically.

"Ah, you guys are here!" Yeonjun exclaimed as he approached, almost triggering another hug-vortex out of Hueningkai had Taehyun not clamped a hand over the younger's mouth and pulled him back.

"Oh look who it is!" Beomgyu exclaimed in a teasing tone, "It's the wiseass Yeonjun!"

Yeonjun just rolled his eyes, "First, it's hyung for you. Second, yeah, I'm a wiseass, but the catch is, you're not. Might be the reason you failed last year."

"Hey!" Beomgyu snapped, looking offended, "Not my fault I felt like retaking 2nd year! Besides, our Hueningie failed a class too!"

"For your kind information," Hueningkai turned to Beomgyu with a sigh, "I did not fail a class. I joined a year late. It's our eomma's fault, not mine. If only she had signed me up a year earlier, I would've been in 2nd year with Tyun who passed every class in 1st year, unlike you who decided to 'retake' 2nd year."

When he noticed Beomgyu opening his mouth to retort, Jeongguk immediately interrupted, "Now that's enough! You kids are such a mess!"

"You're a 5th year, and you're still such a mess," Jimin sassed, causing Jeongguk to gasp and turn to him with a scowl, "Yah, you did not just say-"

"Yah, stop fighting the both of you! We're all messes; stop fighting about it!" Taehyung exclaimed, and everyone shut up immediately.

"Hey, Taehyung hyu- oh no," Soobin stopped short of approaching them when he noticed Yeonjun, causing the rest of them to start giggling.

"Yah, Yeonjun-ah," Jimin started in between his giggles to a now sulking Yeonjun, "You've already started pestering the new kids?"

"As if I would ever do something like-"

"Hyung, please tell him to stop disturbing me!" Soobin whined, now standing next to Taehyung but making sure to stay as far away from Yeonjun as he continued, "He's been following me around ever since I got here!"

"Oh I'm so sorry about that, Soobin hyung," Beomgyu said, shaking his head in mock sorrow, "He's always like that. Flirting with first-years all the ti- eek! That hurts – ah, hyung! I'm sorry!"

Yeonjun had pulled harshly at the younger's ear, looking as done as he could, and was about to pull harder when Taehyung intervened.

"Yah, don't hurt him! It's not like he's lying though," The last part was mumbled under his breath but Yeonjun heard, causing him to start sulking again.

"Anyway, I'll just get to class now. And please," Soobin joined his hands in a pleading gesture towards Yeonjun, "Please don't follow me to class. I'm sure you have many other responsibilities as a 3rd year rather than following freshmen. So please, please, stop following me around. Okay, bye!"

He immediately rushed off, slinging his bag over his shoulder.

Yeonjun rolled his eyes, turning to Taehyung, "Why is he like this? Can't take a compliment, hates flirting, can't talk to others like normal people do, what kind of-"

"Hey hey hey," Taehyung chuckled at the boy's frustration, "No offense, but he's only like that with you, Jun. He's a nice kid otherwise. So stop sulking."

Yeonjun mumbled out a 'whatever' before heading off to class, pout prominent on his face.

Jeongguk, forgetting about their little spat a few minutes ago, turned to Jimin, "Sunoo isn't here yet?"

"Yeah, he got here really late the night before the last," Jimin started, smiling fondly at the mention of his brother, "He had classes early today so, he must be there. Aren't you dorm-mates with him, Tyun?"

"Yep," the younger said, smiling slightly, "He's nice, hyung, just like you."

"Aww thank you so much!" Jimin giggled and slapped Taehyun's arm playfully, causing the younger's smile to evaporate instantly.

"Not so nice, after all. C'mon babe, let's get to class," He dragged Beomgyu with him in the direction of the Chemistry department, leaving behind an offended-looking Jimin.

Suddenly, Hueningkai's phone pinged, causing everyone to turn in his direction. He smiled at his phone, typing out a response before looking up, "I should get to class, hyungs. Bye!"

The remaining trio waved after him, before scattering off to their classes.

A/N: I'm so sorry for not updating in such a long time! I was busy with schoolwork, and I'll try to update as much as I can. By the way, this is a sort-of filler chapter. But read everything carefully. I may or may not have included a little unnoticeable something that may be important later on in the story ;). Well, take care of yourselves, remember that you can talk to me anytime! Borahae!
