"Han Jisung!" Hyunjin yelled, grabbing the boy's wrist with a frustrated face. The said boy looked back with a frown and tried to shake him off, and escape while he still can. Students all around him hushed him to be quiet seeing as they were in the middle of a library but he could care less right now. "Where do you think you're going? We're supposed to be studying for exams you idiot." He hissed, pulling him back down at the table.

The boy groaned as he sat down in his chair, pouting like a child. Hyunjin heard Felix snort beside him, turning to see the boy aimlessly slip through a book his hand only to look at the pictures. "I don't know why you're trying to get him to study. He already said he was going to drop out. Forcing him to get ready for an exam is going make him want to drop out even more." Felix explained before receiving a flick to his forehead. He let out a yelp of pain, only to be hushed by the other students in the library.

It was an odd scene, for Hyunjin and Jisung to willingly be in a room together without sending each other hateful glares. However it was all due to a deal that the two had made when they went to Han River the day before. The boy had pulled him aside to talk about what he had heard in the auditorium that day and everything was just really awkward for the two of them. Hyunjin could remember vividly himself interrupting Jisung to pitch his own idea of a deal while a Day6 song had played behind them.

"Don't drop out." Was the first thing he had said, earning a shocked expression from Jisung. Up until then, the two had constantly gave each other malicious glares and talked bad about each other. So it was weird that Hyunjin was showing concern. "I know I'm not... the best at school. But I want you to at least try and study for the exams. If you can do that for me, then I won't participate in the talent show coming up and you'll never have to deal with me again. Okay?"

"I really shouldn't be here." Jisung spoke, staring at the book in front of him like it was written in a foreign language. He glanced around library in anxiousness as he twirled a pencil in his hands. "I'm supposed to be practicing for the talent show right now. The auditions are tomorrow, I need every ounce of practice right now. So I guess that means I really should be leaving now..." He slowly rose up from his chair, thinking Hyunjin wasn't paying attention to him and he tried to creep away.

However the boy grabbed his wrist before he could leave and pulled him right back over to them. "Practice later. Study now. You have a promise to fulfill." Hyunjin told him. Jisung groaned in response as he sat right back down as told, fiddling with the pencil in frustration. Felix rolled his eyes at the boy, nudging Hyunjin as a signal to just let him go. However the boy didn't budge and refused to let him off the hook so easily. Who knows how many lessons Jisung ignored before he switched classes.

"Hyunjin!" The said boy looked up to see Jeongin and Seungmin standing at the doors of the library. He flinched when the librarian hissed at them to quiet down, but continued walking into the library either way. "Is that...? Han Jisung? What is he doing here?" Jeongin asked as he took a seat at the table, followed by Seungmin dropping all of his belongings onto the table. They were once again hushed by librarian and students, leaving Seungmin to give them empty apologizes.

Jeongin's friend soon turned to Hyunjin, marveling at him as if he was a god. "Woah Hyunjin... blond is a really good color on you." He blinked a few times in confusion before realizing what he was talking about. He had totally forgotten that after the two had gotten home yesterday, Jeongin bleached his hair and slapped on some hair dye. Of course his mother was fuming, not only for dying his hair but for skipping school as well. She told the two off about it but they couldn't really take her seriously after a day of goofing off.

"Don't tell him that!" Jeongin exclaimed, narrowing his eyes at the older brother. "You're going to feed into his ego of wanting to look pretty if you do so." Hyunjin rolled his eyes at the boy, subconsciously messing with his freshly dyed hair. He was just glad that the school allowed students to dye their hair. They didn't do it all the time though. When he and Felix were freshman, you could get expelled for it. It was as if it was a taboo of some sorts even though people all around the world did it.

He remembered when Felix showed up with bright orange hair during the first week of school. He was a foreigner, hadn't lived in Korea that long, and would ramble in English when he was trying to communicate with others. The school gave him leeway since he literally had no understanding of anything, and thankfully Felix didn't take it and run too far with it. Hyunjin snapped out of his daze and turned to Jisung. "Anyways... Jisung, did you figure out the answer to the question yet?"

The said boy blinked a few times, looking down at the question in the book and looked right back up at him. "I have no idea what any of this means. What the hell is a cos and why are there weird O's in the problem? I also have absolutely no idea what anything else in this book is. Why can't I just cheat on exams?" Jisung asked, gasping as he suddenly slammed his hands on the table. "Better yet! Why don't I just drop out?"

Hyunjin groaned in frustration, refusing to hit his bed with the Physics book in his hands. "You're not cooperating, Jisung." He growled, closing the book. Jeongin and Seungmin peered towards the boy in question, watching a triumphant grin spread across his face. He was mad with how much glee and pure joy was in his smile when Jisung is blatantly messing with him. "Why do you have to make this harder than it actually is?"

Felix pondered for a second before a goofy grin appeared on his face. "Because he doesn't want to do it!" He exclaimed, earning an annoyed look from Hyunjin. The Aussie let out an awkward laugh as he suddenly got up out of his seat and pointed towards the book cases. "Oh look there's Changbin! We should invite him over to study with us, that sounds like fun!" Felix yelled, though earning a few glares from students in the room.

They all turned their heads to find Changbin hiding behind some books, his head low but eyes locked with the group staring at him. He opened his mouth to explain what was going on, but he didn't exactly get the chance. Chan suddenly came up behind him, placing a hand on his shoulder which caused the boy to suddenly jump. "I was looking for you, Bin." He spoke, slight annoyance and menace in his voice.

Hyunjin snorted as he watched Changbin stand up almost immediately, making the deepest bow possible. "I'm sorry! I'm really, really sorry! How was I supposed to know you're dog just liked to chew papers? Also how I supposed to know that those papers happened to your college application? This stuff happens by coincidence!" He exploded, trying to find someway to get out of trouble. Though, the junior's heart nearly bursted out of his chest when he heard those words come out of his mouth.

"Changbin?! What the hell?!" He and Jisung yelled at the same time. The boy flinched, not excepting the two the respond like that. Chan had a slightly smug look on his face, as if he was just waiting for this moment for Changbin to be put on the spot like this. The senior only pouted, frowning as he walked over to them.

"Like I said," he began, sitting beside Felix with a huff. "It was an accident. What happened wasn't planned, the world just hates me." Changbin defended, crossing his arms as Chan went to sit beside him. Once again, Felix began to ponder, trying to put two different things together. However this time, Seungmin had beat him to the punch.

"Accident?" The boy question, knitting his eyebrows in confusion. "Didn't you say it was a coincidence just two seconds ago?" Changbin's expression turned shocked for a second, his eyes widening as he realized his mistake. He shot Seungmin an annoyed glare while the boy snickered in his seat, enjoying as he watched Chan give the older boy a skeptical glance.

Before anyone could start a fight, Jisung sat up in his seat and pushed away the book he was supposed to be studying. "Okay Chan, I need you to help me with something." He commented, gaining everyone's attention. "Hyunjin is supposed to help me study for the exam coming up, but I want to go practice for the talent show. No matter what happens, I'm going to probably drop out either way. So shouldn't I do what I want while I still have the chance?"

"You promised me that you'll try and study for the exams." Hyunjin spoke, frowning at Jisung. "Backing out now would just cause me and Jeongin to turn right around and audition for the talent show. I'll annoy you for the rest of your life if you go back on your promise." He warned, eying the boy carefully. He caught Jisung mocking him slightly, clearly having no intention all really listening to him.

"This sounds like a "you guys" problem." Chan commented, just loud enough for them to hear. "But... you did make a promise Jisung. It would be care less and rude to back out of it now. You have to follow through with it." He earned the loudest groan possible from Jisung, who definitely didn't want to hear those words come out his mouth. The group laughed, causing an awfully loud ruckus in the library once more.

Jeongin tapped Hyunjin's shoulder, getting his attention almost immediately. "We've got company..." he mumbled, discreetly pointing towards the fuming librarian that was glaring daggers at the group. When she noticed the two boys were looking at her, she almost immediately made her way from behind the counter and towards them. It was as if she was angry bull out for the kill now that she knew the disruptive students had spotted her.

"Code red, code red, code red! Time to go!" Hyunjin exclaimed, shaking Felix as hard as he could to get his attention, he grabbed as many of his belongings as he could and shoved them in this backpack. Everyone seemed to pick up on the fact that the librarian was coming for them and didn't want to get scolded by an angry old lady. They giggled and laughed as they finally got out of their chairs and spread out across the library. Hyunjin nearly tripped over Jeongin as the two struggled to reach the exits before the librarian could.

The poor woman just looked overwhelmed, shocked by the amount of boys that had suddenly left the area and ran. Hyunjin stumbled out the doors, falling to his knees once he finally escaped. He let out a sigh of relief before being completely crushed by his friends, probably karma for almost falling on top of his younger brother. They all laughed once they reached safety, looking back to make sure the librarian wasn't going to step out of her realm.

"Sorry for ruining your little study group." Chan apologized, his hands deep in his pockets as he grinned at them. "Too make up for it, you can study at this place I know. I have friends that work there, so I'm sure they won't mind it if a few wild teenagers come around." He offered, looking at Hyunjin expectantly. Once everyone decided that he wasn't their personal pillow, he stood up and nodded to the senior.

"That's... really nice of you. Thanks." Hyunjin responded. He was going to say more, if he didn't notice the sudden wind that sped past him. The two turned to see Jisung sprinting down the hallway, throwing his backpack and jacket on the group to relieve the weight. He was running straight towards the auditorium with Felix right on his tail as he tried to escape. "Han Jisung! Where do you think you're going?!"
