"As a thankyou for standing up for us, I here by relieve you of your side of the bet." Quinn said. "You don't have to come to the Halloween dance if you don't want to."

"A bet is a bet." Heeseung replied, resting his cheeks on his palm as he spoke.

"So, that means you'll still come?" Quinn grinned happily.

"Sure." Heeseung shrugged lightly. "But no promises on bringing a date."

"Aw." Quinn pouted, "do you want me to set you up with someone? Because Jake here could tell you what an awesome matchmaker I am. Infact I already have someone in mind for you--"

"Nope. You're matchmaking skills are not needed here." Jake intruppted Quinn before she could say anything further.

"Interesting." Heeseung muttered.

Quinn opened her mouth to speak, but before they could the classroom door opened and Mr. Sorkin walked in. Their last two mathlete meeting were cancelled since their teacher was sick, but now he was finally back.

"Afternoon everyone." Mr. Sorkin greeted, "Quinn. I see you're here again."

"Don't mind me, I'll blend in with the wall, you won't even know I'm here." Quinn smiled as she got up from the chair she was sitting on to go and sit at the back of the classroom.

"I highly doubt that, but okay." Mr. Sorkin mumbled before clearing his throat and addressing the four team members. "There's a math tournament at greenhill high in a month, and we'll be participating. So, no goofing around in meetings anymore. I want you all to focus."

"Yes, sir!" Jungwon exclaimed, making the teacher sigh.

"Okay so I got these worksheets from last year. I want you to practice these.."

The meeting went on for an hour. Once it ended, everyone left to go back home. Whenever Quinn crashed the meetings, Jake went home in the bus with her, instead of going in heeseung's car. Heeseung was the first one out of the door, rushing as soon as the clock struck four.

Jake was packing his stuff, ready to leave when he noticed that heeseung had left his worksheet that they were supposed to finish at home and give to Mr. Sorkin in class tomorrow. Jake grabbed the paper, keeping it in his back as he rushed out with Quinn to find the older boy.

Heeseungs car wasn't in the parking lot, which meant that he already left. The two friend waited for bus, talking about gossip from here and there  till the topic somehow ended up being about heeseung.

"He left his worksheet in class." Jake stated.

"You can always go over to his place and give it to him." Quinn casually replied as the two sat on a empty seats on the bus.

"Are you crazy? I'm not doing that." Jake said.

"Why not? It's not really big of a deal, he'll probably thank you for it. Maybe he will invite you in. Take you to his room. Oh my god, what if he--"

"Can you not?" Jake whined. "knowing heeseung, he'll probably snatch it from my hand and then shut the door on my face."

"Yeah, that's more likely to happen." Quinn sighed, "but I can still dream!"

"Eh, I think I'll just let it be." Jake said. Quinn didn't push further. And the topic of conversation changed.

Once Jake was in his room, he sat on his study desk and took our his homework, getting it done immediately. Hours passed as he studied, only taking a break in between to clear his mind.

The empty worksheet that sat on the edge of the desk still plagued his mind, but he just ignored it.

Soon enough, his parents were home from work and was on the dinner table having dinner with them.
