"Are you sure we can go? Don't you have an exam next week?" Minwoo asks, getting up from his bed.

"It's not like I'll fail, anyways. I've been studying for a whole week, don't you think it's time for me to have some fun?" Hyunwoo responds, buttoning up his jeans and throwing on a t-shirt and jacket.

"I guess..." Minwoo still worried for the other. Hyunwoo was by no means dumb, but he was kind of failing his class.

"You should to! Donghyun hyung told me I could bring you." Hyunwoo tosses a pair of clothes towards him.

"Are you kidding me? I need to study-"

"No buts! You study too much." He also throws a brush to his direction, implying that he had messy bed hair.

"Yeah, but-"

"You're coming with me whether you like it or not. Now go put on your clothes!" He pushes Minwoo into the bathroom. Lucky for them, they had a suite all to themselves with the money they put in to bribe the school, so privacy wasn't a problem.

"Ugh, fine." Minwoo rolls his eyes and began to change.

...

By the time they arrived, they noticed that the two were already inside.

"Hey, sorry to keep you waiting." Hyunwoo approached them with Minwoo trailing behind him.

"It's fine. We played some games while waiting for you two." Dawit reassures and the two sit to his right.

"League?" Minwoo asks. "Are you kidding? Of course it's League." Donghyun scoffs in a friendly manner.

"Great! I'll be mid." The actor logs into his account, his bestfriend doing the same. They're invited into Donghyun's party before finding a match and begin playing.

"Wah!" Hyunwoo cheers as the victory screen appeared on the devices, the other three loudly cheering as well.

"God, I've never had this much fun in so long." The eldest lightly sighs with a smile. It was true. He was never allowed to go to internet cafes because of safety precautions.

"Don't worry, man. We'll keep you safe." Donghyun pats his shoulder in a friendly manner.

"I know you do. I'll go get some more food for us." He pats the hand on his shoulder before standing up and walking over to the counter to buy more food and bring some water.

After buying the food, he goes back and places them on the table.

"Here you go." He distributes them one by one and sat back down. Thirsty, Dawit first brings up the cup of water to his lips before abruptly stopping.

"What's wrong, hyung?" Minwoo asks and suddenly all attention is on the heir.

Dawit began to look around at everyone else's foods. None of them were sweet, just savory.

"Nothing, it's just... my drink smells an awful lot like cinnamon." He's not stupid. He knows what it means to have a drink smell like cinnamon.

"You sure you didn't get cinnamon water or something?" Hyunwoo asks, not sure why he was so concerned over cinnamon.

"Cinnamon is a mask for poison."

"Woah. I didn't know you were a chemistry major?" Says Minwoo.

"I'm not. I'm just used to it, I guess." Dawit shrugs before putting the cup down. "Who's up for another game?" He asks, changing the topic.

Even while he cheered with Minwoo and Hyunwoo, he didn't fail to catch the worried look on Donghyun's face.

He doesn't touch his food for the rest of the day.
