Off Key

#61

In three weeks, the boys came up with 10 different new songs, practices have not stopped, not once, making everyone a bit tired but not giving up.

"It's already in a month?" Felix said to Jisung, holding the flyer that was in his hand.

Flyers had been put up, getting people to compete and also watch.

"Time is going by so fast," Jisung said looking at the flyer. Felix put the flyer back on the wall and continued his walk down the hall with Jisung.

They walked outside of the school since the class wasn't going to be for a while. "I'm honestly nervous about the performance, what if we mess up?" Felix said as Jisung sighed.

"I'm nervous too but we can't think about that. We should think about the good things." He said as Felix took a deep breath. "You're right. I'm getting overworked for no reason."

"Let's think about something else. How's Minho?" Felix asked as Jisung slightly rolled his eyes. "Why are you asking that? It's not like you don't see him at school." He said as Felix chuckled.

"I know that but it's still sometimes weird to not see him at home." Jisung giggled at that. "Well, to answer your question, he's good." He said as Felix thought of something.

"Wait, does he technically have to live with you?" Jisung didn't get the question. "What do you mean?"

"Well, he moved in with you to protect you and your mom from Kimmy, right?" Jisung nodded his head.

"But since Kimmy isn't a threat anymore, does he still need to stay with you?" He asked as Jisung felt himself sadden at the thought of it.

"I never thought of that."

The bell rang, cutting off their conversation and heading into the school, not hearing a snap of a picture being taken.

"Jeongin, wait up!" Seungmin said, running up to the younger, who stopped in the middle of the hallway.

"Hey, Seungmin!" He said with a bright smile and high energy.

"Woah, what's up with you?" Seungmin asked, giggling at his friend's mood. Jeongin stayed silent, trying to contain his smile.

"Oh, does this have something to do with a certain someone?" Seungmin asked nudging his shoulder with Jeongin who laughed.

"Maybe." He simply said as Seungmin knew exactly who it was. "What did Chan do?" He asked as Jeongin jumped up and down with joy.

"We kissed!" He said grabbing Seungmin's arm and waving it around. "Why are you so over the moon for it?" Seungmin couldn't help but laugh at his friend's behavior.

"Was he your first kiss?" Seungmin asked as Jeongin shook his head. "No, I've kissed many people." Seungmin scoffed with a smile.

"Yeah, sure," Seungmin said in a sarcastic tone as Jeongin let go of his arm. "Yes I have, look, I'll name them all."

Jeongin took out his hands and started naming names, that he could remember.

"That one girl in middle school, that one dude from the park, Kimmy-" As Seungmin was about to speak, Jeongin shushed him. "Don't even say anything." Seungmin stayed quiet, trying to contain his laughter and slight confusion.

"Um, that girl I met at a party, Hyunjin, that one guy-" Seungmin stood in front of Jeongin, pausing him in his tracks.

"You kissed Hyunjin?" Seungmin asked as Jeongin nodded his head. "But-" The bell rang, once again, cutting off Seungmin.
