The Musical | Liu Yangyang

It was the day after all chemistry reads which took two days. Jaehyun and Johnny said they were announcing the roles today.

"You know Cho, you could totally be my Cha-Cha," Donghyuck had wrapped his arm around said girl's shoulders.

It was the usual crew: Cho, Lia, Ryujin, Yeji, and Donghyuck. They all sat around the two couches in the drama room, eating snacks and talking.

"Hell to the no, Hyuckie." She pushed off his arm, "I like my men straight."

"Hey! I play a straight character in the play, that enough?" He jokingly nudged the girl. Cho then rolled her eyes and stated it wasn't enough which cause them to start play fighting.

Ryujin eventually joined the fighting when she yelled at them to stop, but Donghyuck recoiled and harmlessly insulted her. Yeji and Lia were peacefully eating a bag of chips on the other couch as they gossiped.

"Ryujin, I will break out your knee caps!" Cho yelled at the girl. Donghyuck was pushed off the couch, whining as loud as he possibly could.

The door opened, unnoticed by everyone because of the loudness in the room. The two of the three boys were shocked by what was going on. The other boy ran in to join the fun.

"Lele?" Cho asked, surprised when the boy jumped on her back.

"Does this always happen?"
"Cho! I didn't know that you're in drama!"

Was said at the same time by the other two at the door, Yangyang and Yukhei. Everyone in the room froze and recuperated their positions.

"Hi Yukhei," Cho rolled her eyes as a greeting. He smiled brightly and sat down right next to her.

"Hi puppy," he basically cuddled up to her where they sat which caused weird looks from everyone in the room.

"I thought we talked about this, you're the puppy, puppy." Cho grinned when he became confused.

"We both are," he settled, "now I have a question."

Cho covered her eyes with a groan, "No, not this again. Has it really been since last semester?"

"Yup, it's a new semester," he winked and sat up straight in-front of her. He gently reached out to grab her hand and made sure they had eye contact. "Cho, my puppy, will you go out with me?" His tone was grossly romantic.

"Yukhei," she grabbed his hand in return and matched his tone, trying to raise his hopes, "no."

The boy let go of her hand and fell back to the couch with a sigh, "Damn it. Was I at least close?"

She laughed and pinched his cheek, "More close than you were last time puppy. Give it a few more tries, and maybe you'll get it."

"Wait," Donghyuck threw out his hands, "what the hell did we all just watch? And what do you mean?" The rest of them nodded along with Donghyuck, confused at that whole transaction.

"Yukhei here has been asking me out since we were five, and everytime, I say no. It's our little thing," Cho had told them, but they were still confused.

"Yeah. Our parents are pretty much best fucking friends," Yukhei explained, "that monthly family brunch that I go to with my family, also includes their family."

"Yep, sadly." Cho sounded defeated to which Yukhei hit her lightly on the arm. "Kidding, I love my big, dumb puppy." She reached over to pinch his cheek again but was pushed away.

"Okay, what the hell is with the puppy thing?" Lia questioned with raised eyebrows. "To be honest, it's kinda weird or kinky, I can't tell which one."
