It was late afternoon now. Classes were almost over for the day. Students were all over the campus while some headed home.

Minho made his way to the music room where Chan was, cause he had to keep his attendance proper for the club activities.

"Boo!" He sneaked behind Chan's back causing the elder to jump a little holding his chest.

"MiNhO!!! How many times have I told you not to do this!?" He was still recovering from the shock.
Some younger members of the club were laughing at their interaction.
It was quite unusual to have Lee Know amongst them. He hardly showed up, but when he did, he would lift everyone's spirit like no one could, encourage them and joke around. Not to mention, both girls and boys were quite delighted with him and many joined the club to get a glimpse of him.

But today he didn't wait for long or interact much.
"Mark me present Hyung, I'll be gone now. "

"You do know you don't really need to actually show up to be 'marked' present." He said in a hushed tone showing the register where it says that Minho was present for all club activities.

Quite content with what's shown, he laughed and said, " Now that's my Hyung, haha, I get going then! Bah-bye."
Blowing him a kiss, he smiled and waved at everyone present around and off he went to the dance club. He did have some unfinished business there.

He pushed open the door and spotted his prey, a.k.a. the Kim Seungmin, and beside him was Hyunjin. 'Of course' he thought, 'as expected he's here with his beloved Hyunjin!'

He walked up to them, who didn't even notice him and were immersed in whatever conversation they engaged themselves in.

Minho faked a cough to get the attention of the two causing them to abruptly stop and look at him, and then asked Hyunjin with puppy eyes, "Can I steal Seungmin for a moment, please?"

Hyunjin looked at Seungmin and before he could say a thing Seungmin turned towards Minho and started with a straight face, " If it's about the same request as earlier, then the answer remains the same, no. "

"Ahhh.... Seungminahhh.... First, listen to me once!!!"

Hyunjin gave them space, even though he didn't want to, and left them, "Find me later. "

Quite happy with him leaving, Minho smirked and asked, " You need help with studies, right? "

"Y-yeah, but that doesn't concern you in any way. Han said that- "

"Yeah, Han Said that 'bla blah, he's the one who asked me to tutor you. Isn't it gReAt? " With sparks in his eyes, he faked excitement.

The younger was indeed in need of help, but he couldn't just let go of this. He knew that this someone who han talked about was good, rather as Han's words go, 'He's the best one who could help you ace the exams! '. And sadly for him, that someone happened to be the one standing in front of him, with a stupid smile on his face that never seemed to go.

"So you're telling me that you'll tutor me? ", eyes glaring at Minho.

"Yes but no! You're so stupid! I'm making a deal here. "

"I'm not letting you replace me here. "

Minho was so done with him. With a childish pout, he said, " Now don't be so stubborn, young one. I'm helping you out here, you should be thankful that this great person", he dipped his chin a little to point at himself, "is agreeing to tutor you. "

Seungmin still didn't look convinced enough.

"What do you want stubborn kid!? I'm trying to negotiate here, can't you see?"

Seungmin thought for a moment, looking at the older with judgment clear in his eyes. To him, Minho didn't look like someone who could be serious with his work.
"Fine, you get what you want."

Minho's face lit up at once, "See, it wasn't that difficult to agree. "

"But I have my conditions."

Now he regrets being happy even for a second. Of course, nothing can be so smooth for him!

" I get to accompany you here when you're around and be present in whatever they do."

'Well that's absurd' Minho thought and asked with an eyebrow raised, " Aren't you a member here? "

"No." Another straight face.

"Oh... Okay." A confused Minho replied. The condition didn't even make any sense to him. Other students could spend time in other clubs without permission. Many of them did and no professors really cared about that. But then again there was this Hyunjin here. He scoffed in his mind at the lovesick puppy in front of him.

"Hyunjin!!!", he shouted out, the latter stopped his hands in mid-air and looked at him. " He agreed! Text me the details! "

Hyunjin looked at Seungmin, checking if he really did so. With a nod of approval from the younger, he shouted a 'kay' and went back with his movements.

"So... See you soon." He took his leave. On his way, he said, " Don't be a slow learner."

Seungmin heard that even though he was quite far from the one leaving. He scoffed and thought, ' What does he even think about himself!?' he rubbed his face with both his hands and sighed,' Urghh Han! You could've asked anyone in this world other than him. '
