It's been a pretty hectic past couple of days for Hyunjin. He was inundated with preparations for the upcoming dance club auditions, not having nearly enough time or energy to think about anything else. After he said yes to Chan's offer, they immediately started working on getting everything up and running by next week, that being the only condition of opening the club.

Chan was in charge of their budget and getting them a passable space they could call a practice room while he left Hyunjin to deal with promoting. Hyunjin hand-drew some posters and put up a couple hundred copies all round campus. He knew it was successful when he had multiple people coming up to him throughout the days, asking if it was real. Whenever they did, he would assure them of it's accuracy with a gentle smile on his face and politely ask them to come and check it out themselves. Even if they were sceptical at first, all it took was a smile from Hyunjin to have their hearts filled with the desire to win and pass the auditions.

He's been so busy with the dance club, he hasn't had the chance to confront neither Jisung or Minho about what he saw that one day in the classroom. He's not sure he even wants to have that conversation with either of them but he feels like he needs to know. He feels as if he's apart of some secret conspiracy, holding on to secrets he's not supposed to tell anybody. So he doesn't. It might be one of the hardest things he's ever done but he doesn't tell one single soul.

It's already Saturday and Hyunjin finds himself in an unexpected situation. Today, he was supposed to go in to school to do some filing for the student council, but Chan called him and told him that he didn't need to anymore as he could easily take care of it on his own. Now, all of a sudden Hyunjin has way too much time on his hands and is not too sure how to spend his newly found free day. He lays on his bed, contemplating what to do while his thoughts involuntarily wonder to the mental picture he took of Minho and Jisung kissing. He cringes and tries to chase away the image by screaming into his pillow. It doesn't work.

He's in desperate need of some closure but Seungmin is still not talking to him, he obviously can't talk about it with Jisung and Felix is somehow always busy these days, so as his last option, he turns to his sister who despite not caring in the least about two random guys making out and how it's affecting Hyunjin's personal life, listens and gives her very honest opinion about the matter. Which is basically telling Hyunjin that he shouldn't care because it's none of his business. Hyunjin obviously cannot accept this so he goes and locks himself in his room for the rest of the day.

The next day is even worse. Hyunjin tried everything to keep himself from dying of boredom, starting from painting all the way to trying to learn how to crochet but after many failed attempts and unhelpful youtube videos, he gave up. He now lays on the couch in the living room for a change of scenery and wonders what he's done to deserve this.

Yeji walks into the room with a bowl of popcorn in her one hand and a can of coke in the other and stops in front of Hyunjin with a sour expression on her face. She really didn't feel like helping Hyunjin for some reason but she also really wanted to watch this new movie that just came out and her annoying brother was taking up every single inch of the couch.

"What are you doing?"

"Dying." It only comes out as a quiet mumble but Yeji guesses what he tried to say. Yeji let's out a defeated sigh and puts down her snacks on the coffee table.

"Get up." Yeji doesn't wait for Hyunjin to move on his own but throws he legs down on the floor and gracefully takes a seat next to him.

"I really don't think it's the best time for you to bully me." Yeji ignores him.

"You know, I was gonna go see a baseball game with Ryujin later this day, but she got sick so we cancelled. Apparently this pretty popular group is playing and they're supposed to be really good so I'm kind of sad to be honest. What were they called again? Fairies? SKZ Fairies?"
