Taehyung heard a knock on his door early in the morning. He was awoken almost simultaneously, likely due to the fact that he had been lying in bed for the previous thirty minutes, stressing about his upcoming dance exam. With a groan, he yanked away the blanket that had been keeping him warm, feeling a cold wave hit his body and causing a slight shiver. Nonetheless, he walked barefoot to the door, clad in his pajamas, and with his hair in a state of disarray.

Opening the door, he frowned, not seeing anyone there. He speculated that it might have been a ghost or perhaps someone exceptionally swift. A quick scan of the surroundings revealed no signs of a person, leaving him puzzled.

His gaze then fell to the floor, where he noticed a letter that he had apparently stepped on. Curiosity piqued, he picked it up, noting that the text was printed on it.

'Good day, students! We'd like to remind you to double-check the exact time for your testing session on the college's official website!'

He furrowed his brow in confusion, looking around again, but still finding no one. "What is this now?" he muttered, placing the paper on his desk. "Why would anyone leave it when they could have e-mailed me?"

Still groggy from sleep, he decided a cold shower would help wake him up. However, before stepping into the bathroom, he revisited the site mentioned on the back of the letter. Admitting that he hadn't checked it before, he remembered the scheduled time was around 2 p.m.

To his surprise, the new information revealed that the exam was set for 5 p.m., further bewildering him. With a shake of his head, he dismissed the mystery and focused on preparing for the exam, deciding to use the extra time productively.

The lunch break had concluded, and the participants reconvened at the gym for the second half of the day's activities. The hosts instructed them to showcase their freestyle dance skills as part of their second grading. Emotions were mixed, with some feeling anxious, while others exuded confidence.

Among the nonchalant participants was Jeon Jeongguk, not because he was indifferent to the exam but because he was sure of his ability to pass. However, his carefree demeanor didn't sit well with Jimin, who approached him with a playful jab.

"Jeongguk-ssi, at the very least scratch. Aren't you the first?" Jimin teased, implying that Jeongguk's nonchalant attitude was because he was preoccupied with finding a new hook-up.

Jeongguk, unfazed, groaned and dismissed Jimin's comment. He reached for his phone, seemingly browsing Instagram profiles, but Jimin, with a mischievous smile, snatched the phone away.

"Park, m' not really in the mood right now," Jeongguk complained, attempting to retrieve his phone. However, Jimin, with a swift move, switched it to his other hand, keeping it out of Jeongguk's reach.

"For once, Jeongguk, keep your dick in your pants. We're having an examination right now," scolded Jimin, emphasizing the importance of the impending dance test. "Luck is not on your side today because your father is among the judges," he added, pointing to the teachers. "Maintain discipline at least once."

Jeongguk, undeterred, retorted, "Do you do it at all?" Jimin explained that he takes things seriously when necessary and not for a fleeting encounter, referencing Jeongguk's reputation for short-term flings.
