"How'd you win again?" Sunghoon groaned.

"Strategy," Jungwon answers, pressing his palms against the floor. "Use your wild cards in the beginning and then you have none to use at the end, then you're bound to lose. Isn't that obvious?"

"BS," Riki grits, dropping his head onto Sunoo's shoulder.

"Sucks to suck, loser," Jungwon chimes.

"Again-"

"Wait, Heeseung just messaged me," Jake says, eyes glued to his phone. "Do you guys...wanna hangout over at his place this weekend? He said he's inviting a few friends, and that I can invite some too."

"I wanna see this Heeseung guy so I'm in," Riki says, raising his head from Sunoo's shoulder. "I need to see the hype."

"I guess I'll go too, Riki's going so I kinda have to," Sunoo adds.

"I'll go," Jay answers, and Jungwon looks at him, contemplates if he should go, too.

"I'll go since you guys are going, can't really be left alone," Sunghoon says. "You, Jungwon?"

Don't think about it.

"Sure."

"How long will we be out?"

"How long will we be out?"

Jungwon peaks his head just slightly past the door, looking over at Jay, who's idly fixing the way his jacket sits on his shoulders. He styled his hair just a bit differently, wavy instead of slicked back to reveal most of his face, distantly, Jungwon realized that Jay's platinum was fading into a soft blond. (And perhaps that he was handsome too.) Jay's eyes dart to him, gentle and admiring. "However long you'd like. It doesn't matter to me."

Jungwon unknowingly smiles, nods his head softly, and finally steps out of his room. "Is this okay?"

The small scrutinizing glance given by Jay was enough to make him feel a bit self conscious about his choice of attire. It was nothing much, for he didn't go outside often anyway or really at all, so he didn't necessarily have the clothes for it, but it can be fine if it's just casual, no? Perhaps? Jungwon hopes at least.

"I have a jacket for you," Jay says, returning into his rooom to return with something in hand. Jungwon narrows his eyes looking at it. Jay holds it up for him to see and briefly explains, "It's a letterman jacket I got in highschool for being on varsity all four years, you should wear it. Just to add onto your outfit."

"It..." Jungwon halts, walking up to him and peeling the jacket out of Jay's hands to look on the back. Just to make sure he was seeing things correctly, at least. "It has your name on it? Jongseong?"

Jay's hand almost instantly flies to the back of his neck, his grin sheepish. "Yeah. My government name, Jay is preferred, but we had to go with what's on the paper so. Jongseong it is. Do you wanna wear it?"
