THREE
“alright, next! ”
Yuta's loud voice booms throughout the entire practice room as he dismisses one of the many applicants for this year's dance troupe tryouts. The older was obviously stressed— back slouched, hair disheveled with all the tousling he has done, and eyes looking done as ever.
Beside him sat Shotaro, one of the officers and the running for captain once yuta leaves the team. Unlike yuta, Shotaro was optimistic, thinking that one of them have potential.
Don't get him wrong, everyone has potential, it's just they're looking for someone who had it the most. They were short in members as the old and veteran ones left unexpectedly with the same reason—joining the cheering squad.
“I can't believe coach decided to tell us now. It's almost the middle of these cool year. Intramurals is coming up” yuta huffs, switching the applicantion forms. “tryouts are supposed to be done during the second month of the school year”
“true but it's also weird how they have the same reason.” Shotaro grumbles, doing the same thing yuta did with his papers. They were one break (thankfully) and were discussing who would go to round two. “I'm already tired of this. They dance all the same dance we saw from last year”
For some reason, the applicants thought that using taki taki would get them a spot. Yuta and Shotaro swears that if they here one more taki taki they wouldn't hesitate to drop them out.
“what was their reason again? ” yuta asks him.
“they're joining the cheering squad who I heard is having a hard time trying to sort things out” Shotaro hums in the end, picking up one of the candidates he liked. They dance So Am I.
His answer makes Yuta scoffs. “of course they would. If I'm right they at least need twenty candidates” he looks over to Shotaro's picks. “include that dude. He got style”
“I agree”
❝what's up hyungs! ❞
The pair looks up from the papers and saw Park Jisung, a veteran member and another person running for captain, saunter towards Them with his duffle bag. Jisung was from class 9-B despite supposedly being is year 8.
Jisung pulls one of the chairs in the room beside Shotaro before sitting down, placing his bag on the table after. “how's the auditions? ”
“horrible” Shotaro huffs. “they all dance taki taki like it would get them on the team. And don't get me started on their moves. They obviously got it from youtube”
“so much for originality” yuta rolls his eyes, placing a zero is one of the score boxes of an applicant. “I just want someone—winwin! ”
“winwin? ” Shotaro and sungchan turns to where yuta had run off, seeing a blonde student who stumbled the moment yuta ran and hugs him. The two let out an ‘ah’ when they realized who it was. “sicheng hyung”
It was like yuta forgot about his annoyance towards the tryouts and was busy trying to pepper kisses on winwin 's face who was trying to push away.
“I got—yuta stop it! Some letters for you two—Yuta keep those lips away from my cheek that you two need to read. And— yuta! ”
Shotaro and Jisung quickly went to the older, noting how he wore the LVU uniform. The two grabs the letter that winwin held with the hand that was not trying to push yuta away.
“what's this? ” Jisung asks, the first one to open the letter. His brows furrows as he read it's contents. “ten hyung wants us to join teams? ”
“for this years district competion? ” Shotaro continues“why? ”
“that I do not know ” Sicheng sighs after finally getting away from yuta who was sulking beside him.
💬
“explain to me why they're so many people in the gymnasium again? ”sungchan asks the moment he went out of the hockey teams locker room which was located in the gymnasium. He could feel the eyes that were staring at him. Beside him was Jeno, fully dressed in their hockey gear.
“tryouts” Jeno simply answers, smiling at The people who would greet him. They were from the cheerleading squad. “but they are a lot this year”
“you can say that ” a voice snorts from behind them. The two turns around and saw Yangyang dressed his own hockey gear minus his helmet which they knew he left at home. “I heard it's because jaehyun and the rest are back”
“they are? ” sungchan raises a brow, trying to remember if his brother ever mention anything about returning to basketball. “I thought he stopped because he wanted to focus more on taeyong hyung ”
“well you thought wrong. I heard taeyong and jaehyun fought because of that. Taeyong hyung doesn't want jaehyun hyung to stop playing basketball for his sake” mark suddenly arrives, startling the gossiping trio. “and don't even doubt me. They argued in front of me and I was trying to watch TV. TV! ”
“well that sucks. Jaehyun hasn't gone home for what? Two weeks I think” the group already left the gymnasium and were heading to the ice rink which was (sadly) on the other side of campus near the dance and music building. “but we know those two. They'll probably be sulky for a day before one of them textes us asking for help”
“speaking of text, figured out who ghosted you? ” Jeno asks Sungchan, showing a teasi g smile the moment sungchan clicks his tongue.
“not one clue. I asked almost everyone in our batch but all they gave me was a no” sungchan really did that. Every morning before class, during break, and after class he would go room to room and ask them if they know who it is. Sadly, the said account was now private. “but I'm not giving up. I still—”
“have to accept the fact that I got ghosted” mark interrupts him, shaking his head. “I think this search has been long overdue, don't you think? ”
Sungchan shakes his head no, “nothing is overdue when it comes to Jung Sunchan” he then puffed out his chest and punched in, like he was trying to challenge someone. “this is a matter of pride as a ghoster. ”
Mark shakes his head in disappointment, grumbling a ‘this would t end well’
Meanwhile, Yangyang who was out for most of the happenings simply looked back and forth between Mark and sungchan, tapping jeno's shoulder the moment the two because quiet. “what are we talking about again? Who ghosted who? ”
Jeno shakes his head, laughing at Yangyang's confused state. “this is what happens when you're busy trying to woo—”
“don't even start” Yangyang stops him, “I have another plan”
