-Have you finished that text?

-What do you think I can improve here...

-Hey, listen to this...

Such and many similar sentences were repeated throughout the week in the lives of the three boys, who were now sitting in the music room trying to write new lyrics.

-Alright, maybe we should take a break?

Jisung asked, stretching his limbs, which had become numb after such a long time in one position.

Chan and Changbin looked at the younger one and then at the clock hanging on the wall. Seeing that it was already the third hour they had been sitting there, they agreed with Jisung.

-How's it going for you guys?

Chan wanted to know when the three of them sat down next to each other.

-I'm almost done with another song

Han replied proudly.

Both of them looked at Changbin now, awaiting his response. However, the boy completely ignored them, too busy with his phone.

-Hey, Changbin

Jisung waved his hand in front of Changbin's face.

-Hmm... what's up?

He asked without looking away from his phone, which elicited a smirk from the other two boys.

-Is it Felix?

Bangchan asked rhetorically, causing Seo to blush slightly.

-Maybe...

He whispered, but loud enough for Chan and Jisung to hear him.

-I think I hear wedding bells, what about you, Jisung?

The leader laughed, feeling comfortable enough around the boy to tease him.

-Very funny...

Changbin replied, smiling gently at what the older one said. And although he wouldn't admit it out loud, he was starting to enjoy Bang's company as well. Feeling less and less aversion towards him.

-Even though he's not my boyfriend...

-Yet...

Chan coughed, causing Changbin to roll his eyes.

-And secondly, I don't understand why you still don't like him, you know how much I complain about it

Changbin complained.

-Not everyone has to like everyone

Jisung shrugged, although he knew perfectly well why he didn't want to get close to the freckled boy.

-Alright, let's stop these gossips. Changbin, tell us how much you managed to do

-I finished one text, but I want Jisung to review it. I also thought we could use it for the contest

Both of them looked at Bina inquiringly, but after a while, Jisung remembered what he was talking about.

-Oh, right, I completely forgot about it because of this issue with you guys

-What's this about the contest?

Chan asked uncertainly, although he knew exactly what they were talking about. He still remembered the conversation that started it all, but he hoped that both Changbin and Jisung had forgotten about it.

-Surely you know about the school talent contest, it would be cool to participate in it

Changbin said, to which the youngest one nodded.

-Right, it'll be nice to showcase our music to people

-Yeah, sure, great...

Chan wasn't a big fan of the idea. He realized that if he did it, this information could reach his parents. And he couldn't allow that, but he couldn't just refuse it either, what would he tell the boys?

-Let's get back to work instead

The boy decided it was better to quickly finish this topic.

-Oh, it's been half an hour already

Jisung quickly got up. Returning to the table, continuing where he left off. Changbin, on the other hand, didn't move, thinking about the leader's strange behavior.

He decided he would talk to him about it later, and like the others, he got to work.


Skip time.....

Jisung continued to write lyrics, glancing at the clock from the corner of his eye. Seeing what time it was, he slowly started to pack up his things. Getting ready to leave, he still had one more place to visit today.

-Guys, I have to go now, see you tomorrow

-See you tomorrow, Sung

Both of them waved goodbye to Han. And when the boy was out of the room, Chan looked at Changbin over the sheets of paper.

-I wonder why he always leaves so early

-Well, I wouldn't call it early, but I guess he just wants to get home faster

Changbin said, not looking up from his work.

-Yeah, that's understandable, but why is it always at the same time, not even a minute later?

Chan continued to wonder about Jisung's strange habit, while Changbin decided to use this situation to his advantage and talk about Chan's earlier behavior.

-You don't like the idea of the contest, do you?

Bangchan stopped writing at that moment and glanced at Changbin.

-Maybe a little

He replied after a while, returning to his writing.

-Can I know why?

-I don't want to talk about it

After that sentence, neither of them spoke, and Chan was grateful that Changbin didn't pursue the topic.

However, he didn't know that the other boy didn't intend to give up so easily.
