"I thought I made it clear when I said we wouldn't see each other during the week", Jae-seong asked as Yuta was dragging her across the hallway. "Just so you can hang out with other guys, is that it", Yuta asked back. "You don't even know what happened", Jae-seong said in defense. "Then tell me", Yuta responded. "You should have just asked in the first place rather than dragging me like I'm some sort of animal", Jae-seong said before attempting to walk away from him. "I'm not yet done talking to you", Yuta said grabbing her wrist and forcibly turning Jae-seong to face him. "Well I am. Keep this up and you'll never see me again", Jae-seong responded as she removed Yuta's grip and walked away.
She then ran back to the office to finish her business there. "Are you alright", Ten asked as soon as she walked in. "Perfectly fine", Jae-seong answered with a smile. "I heard everything", Ten said with a sad smile making Jae-seong awkwardly look away. "Is he always like that", Ten now asked making Jae-seong visibly fidgety. "What do you mean", she asked awkwardly chuckling. "You know exactly what I mean Jae", Ten responded. "Just pretend nothing happened", Jae-seong said forcing a smile. "But what he's doing isn't right", Ten argued as he tried to hold her hand. "Whether he is right or wrong is none of your business. Just please do as I say and everything will be alright", Jae-seong responded avoiding Ten's touch.
"Fine. I'm sorry. Let's just finish this and head to class", Ten said in defeat. "Thank you", Jae-seong responded. "For what", Ten asked raising an eyebrow. "For caring about me still", Jae-seong answered with a smile. "Why shouldn't I care", Ten asked again. "Well it's just that we have a history you know, and it wouldn't seem right if you still care for me like this, at least for what others might think", Jae-seong answered. "I don't really care what others will think of me, as long as I know I'm not hurting anybody and I'm walking on the right path, then their opinions about me don't really matter", Ten responded patting Jae-seong's head.
"I like how strong you are. I wish I could be as strong as you", Jae-seong said pouting. "But you are as strong, if not, stronger than me", Ten responded lifting her chin up. "Why do you say so", Jae-seong asked with eyebrows furrowed. "Why do I even have to explain it Jung Jae-seong", Ten asked chuckling. "Because I said so Chittaphon", Jae-seong responded sticking her tongue out. "Chittaphon what", Ten asked teasing her. "Chittaphon annoying", Jae-seong said sticking her tongue out once more before walking away. "So I am the annoying one now", Ten said laughing before following behind her.
It didn’t take them too long to finish their business at the office and just as they stepped out, Jae-seong felt her phone vibrate. “Where the hell are you? We will be late”, Lucas said as soon as Jae-seong picked up. “Yeah yeah on my way shut up already”, Jae-seong responded laughing before ending the call. They then ran to the gate and the three went to training together. As their break came, they just sat down inside the practice room.
"Really? You're dropping out? That’s the decision you’ve come to? Is it final", Lucas asked continuously as he sat down next to Jae-seong. "Well yeah. No turning back now", Jae-seong said chuckling. "I did too", Ten butted in as he sat down next to them as well. "No one asked you", Jae-seong said making them laugh. "I'm just saying", Ten responded as he raised both his hands up. "Well looks like I'm gonna do the same thing", Lucas said sighing. "You don't have to if you don't want to", Jae-seong said as Ten nodded. "Nah, I want to. School sucks and would suck more without you", Lucas responded. "Plus, this is where I see myself having a better future than of being an architect", Lucas continued making Jae-seong laugh. "You are so right", Jae-seong teased making Ten laugh alongside her.
"Do you really need to agree with me", Lucas asked face palming himself. "Do you have plans after training", Ten asked as the laughter died down. The two of them shook their heads no and gave Ten a 'why you ask' look. "Wanna go grab dinner", Ten asked. "I'm down", Jae-seong answered in a heartbeat. "Well looks like I'm down as well", Lucas said shrugging. Just as they were about to go back to training, their names were suddenly called and were asked to step out of the room. Hesitatingly, they did as they were told. Standing outside was Taeyong with Jaehyun both looking worried.
"What's the matter", Lucas asked seeing the two's expression. "We have a problem. For the meantime, you'll stay in my house", Taeyong said pertaining to all of them. "What? Why", Jae-seong asked. "I can't explain it here. Get back in there and we'll wait for you outside", Jaehyun said pushing them back towards the practice room.
