" Duh, can't believe Chan's absence made us score more goals than usual. Good thing that the blonde dude didn't show up. We got lucky and win the tournament so easily. Chan is indeed an unlucky trait. Let's not bring him next time. " Minho scoff sarcastically whilst bringing his football shoes on the way to the dorm building.
They eventually lost the match.
Changbin merely nod. Just because Chan didn't show up, they lose a bet and dig their wallets to treat the whole opposite team member for lunches. " I'm totally broke this month." Changbin add.
"No more extra chips for you. " Minho says, teasingly. The another guy sadly put his head down and deeply sigh.
They reach the stairs which lead them to their dorm. Changbin walk first.
What make Minho stops his pace is that the figure of someone he know exiting the infimary door, not too far from where his standing, like three doors away from the left side of the stairs.
Noticing the younger figure slowly disappearing from his sight , Minho break his gaze and climb up the stairs.
' Looks like he treat his cut. '

Minho take a fresh cold shower that evening. Done, he turn off the shower and dry his hair. Then, he wear plain dark shirt and gray trousers that fit him perfectly. He arrange his tools and put them into the pail before hang his white towel around the neck.
Finish ! He finally unlocked the door, ready to come out.
Pupils getting bigger, he spot someone familiar infront of him , currently waiting for unlocked door. Their eyes meet but Minhos eyes drop down to the youngers cheek and stuck there for a frozen time.
" Get lost."
Minho gain his conscious after Seungmin move forward , meeting shoulder by shoulder and push the older one outside before closing the door.
Minho snaps. " Rude ! " Quite relieving that he manage to keep his balance and not fall to the ground. Moments after that, his angry face change to normal one. The right side of his lips goes downwards.
" I'm confused."

Night have fallen. One of the room in the dorm building is filled with anxiety.
" Urgh... Where could that key would be? " Chan stressfully looking here and there for the key he lost. " I don't understand ! To the best of my recollection, I put it there on the table before we left to the soccer match. "
" Chan, you didn't go to the match. " Minho correct the fact.
" I know. But- hey listen ! Be serious. I'm in serious state right now. I didn't not go to the soccer match but I DID went out to the match that evening. Before something caught up and I cancelled to go there. And , before I left the room, I put the cooperative key on my study table. You saw it too, right Changbin?! "
" I know , i know. Calm down, Chan. You're making me panic as well. " Changbin says, reassuring his panic roommate.
" How come I don't? I was given responsibility to keep the key. If it's gone and fall to the wrong person , what if they use it for bad purpose. Anything can happen and we can't fully trust anyone too !!! Even your shadow left you in the dark. I would get the blame !!! " Chan stressed out.
" Woah... Woah... Chill. " Minho put his hand for defense. " We're trying to think of any possibilities. "
Chan then try to calm himself down but unfortunately anxiety is well-made. He grasp his hair tight and glued his face on the table. Being stressed out as he is.
