Things were progressing smoothly between Jack and Mary, well, as smoothly as they can after entering a relationship literally a few hours prior to this chapter taking place. Fortunately, or rather, unfortunately, nothing sexual really happened between the two after they kissed and left for school. Of course, Jack had to walk Mary home first so she can change into more fitting clothing to come to school in. Jack of course didn't go out nude or wearing Mary's underwear, which will haunt him until the day he dies, and was at the moment wearing his usual clothes accompanied by his trademarked red-tinted circular sunglasses.

The newly formed couple had met up with their best friend who also likes to constantly wear sunglasses, Vin Jin, and booked it to school so they wouldn't be late. All the while Vin continued to flex on both of them about how he eased through an OK Audition. Both Jack and Mary congratulated him, of course, they were happy their friend was making it far with his... admittedly subpar rapping. Although both Jack and Mary couldn't help but sweatdrop when Vin kept going on and on about some "short, fat and ugly as a shit loser", Vin's words, not theirs.

Jack, Mary and Vin had barely made it to class before the bell rang and the first couple of classes followed soon after. The moment the first class was over a short break followed soon after, pretty much a good majority of the Vocal and Dance Department class hoarded around Vin Jin. Everyone was talking about how he was the only one to pass the OK Audition which was apparently being run by some big shot Jack didn't bother remembering. By looks of the flyer Vin Jin oh so graciously provided without any flexing whatsoever, the OK Talent Agency or whatever they were called was looking for young, talented and aspiring singers. 


"Hey Vin, I heard you got accepted into OK!"

"Isn't that Won Joon Kim's agency? That's awesome!"

"Dude I can't wait to hear your album!"


Jack couldn't begin to fathom how Vin could suck the attention and compliments like a sponge and not get nervous when literally tens of people surround him from all sides. So while his only other male friend in the whole school happily allowed himself to get "admired" by his fellow classmates, Jack and a few other students just sat back by the sidelines, Mary included. The blonde was literally his... "deskmate"? Is that a thing? Well, whatever the noun is, she sat next to him, finito. Much like Jack, Mary appeared uninterested in gathering attention to herself and just scrolled through her phone, looking at dog videos and got knows what.
