The next day at lunch Wooyoung and Yeosang were invited to sit with Seonghwa's friends. That brought hell of attention to the two boys but Yunho told them to either ignore or get used to it. Which was neither helpful nor comforting. But the taller just snickered when Wooyoung was kind enough to let him know.

Hongjoong who just arrived at the table threw his bag on the floor eyes wet with unshed tears. It was a rare sight for the tiny boy, who usually was composed and calm. Yunho looked over at the mentioned boy concerned. "Joongie... what is wrong?" He approached the matter as a hand patted down the double colored hair. Hongjoong ruffled his hair in frustration before he let a strangled choke out. "Mr. Park just won't accept my mixtape. Cause it has only rap and even if Felix and Changbin are flawless the mixtape isn't complete if it doesn't have vocals in it." Hongjoong said in high pitched voice, imitating in a disgraceful way his professor's words.

"What? What's that supposed to mean? Doesn't he know what hip hop is? Many artists do that" Yunho exclaimed now equally frustrated for his friend. Hongjoong stomped his feet under the table in anger. "That's what I told him!" He rubbed his eyes as a mental breakdown was near enough. "And you wanna know what he said? Well Mr. Kim, you're not an artist and this is a university. When you are in the market do whatever you want. If you want to pass my class then do what I ask you to" Hongjoong repeated word per word, eyes red.

Yeosang gasped at that. "The audacity... why is he being so rude about it?" He pouted at the unfair treatment the older student was receiving. "Right? I even bothered you, Mingi, to help me with the lyric writing... I am so sorry I wasted your time.. all of your times. You, Felix. Changbin..." Hongjoong's lips quivered at that, fingers pulling his hair as the stress only got worse with each thought. "Hey man, don't even worry about it. It was just more practice for me!" Mingi reassured, squeezing the younger's shoulder for comfort.

"Now where the hell am I gonna find a good enough singer they all suck in here" Hongjoong said rudely but he wanted the best for his assignments. His work is going to be used for his employment later. He can't have half assed songs. Mingi's lips stretched in a straight line; the statement wasn't near wrong. Their vocal department was not good. Everyone knew that in their major.

"You just need a singer?" Yeosang asked quietly. "Just? Do you realize how hard that is to find?" Hongjoong exasperated at the loose choice of words. "Hey! Don't get mad at Yeosang!" Seonghwa butted in when he noticed the younger lowering his head in fear. Hongjoong sighed an apologetic expression on his face. "I'm so sorry Yeosang... I am just so nervous at the moment." Hongjoong apologized.

"If the singer doesn't have to be from our university I know an amazing singer. He is my cousin" the younger said still looking down. Hongjoong threw his upper body on the table, hands clutching on Yeosang's. "You do? Where is he? Would he accept to work with me?" Hongjoong bombarded with questions making  Yeosang feel more anxious than comfortable. Wooyoung noticing his best friend's distress swatted Hongjoong's hands away. "Stop making my baby suffer" he glared and Hongjoong retreated to his seat at that. "Sorry..." he rubbed his eyes once again. "It's just that this assignment is crucial for my graduation" he added to make them understand just how important this was for him.

Yeosang smiled encouragingly at the older. "It's okay don't feel sorry I understand." He comforted. "I will call him right now. He doesn't have classes today." He said reaching for his phone. After the third ring a bored voice resonated from the device. "Sangah" his cousin acknowledged. "Hey Jongho-chan, I have a favor to ask." Yeosang bit his lip. "And that would be?" Jongho asked back. "I have a music producing major friend that needs a singer for his mixtape." He hinted.
