"Are you also scared right now?"

"Yeah. The last time I got pulled out of class was when someone hid their vape in my locker."

"What?" Riwoo and Sungho stared at Taesan with a look of horror. "Who was it?" The former almost lept out of his seat to try and figure it out.

"I can't say." Taesan put his index finger up to his mouth to show that he was silenced and tried moving on quickly. "Maybe we're not in trouble though. Look, the others are coming." He pointed outside. To Riwoo's surprise, Junhyeon, Woongki, and Seo Won were all making their way over.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot I'm on an official school team. Back in my stressed era." Sungho slid down in his seat and sighed, all tolerance for life gone in an instant.

"Oh! It's Hao!" Taesan exclaimed as the aforementioned baddie walked through the other door to the student council room. "Maybe we can be happy today after all." he smiled, though not very genuinely.

"Hello everyone!" Hao greeted all six of the people in the room. They returned the greeting with only half as much enthusiasm. "I hope you guys weren't scared when you got pulled out of class." Nobody dared to respond with their true feelings of terror.

"Is this about volleyball?" Riwoo decided to start up their inevitable conversation. Hao looked surprised that he knew.

"Yep. To my surprise, you guys are being moved a bit earlier than I thought. Starting tomorrow, you're going to be moved to the gymnasium. You'll have to share with the basketball team, but I don't think that's much of an issue since they only use one side of the court."

The crowd let out a mixture of Oohs and Aahs at the information. Taesan grimaced. He was sort of hoping that the announcement would be of their disbandment.

"And why was this decision made so abruptly...?" Seo Won asked the question that everyone was too afraid to utter. "We were doing just fine outside." he frowned.

"It was a request from the soccer team, actually..." Hao pursed his lips as he stared at a paper in his hands. Taesan assumed it must've been the request file. "They didn't state any coherent reason other than, uhm... 'Just get them out...?'" Hao tilted his head, very obviously confused as well.

"What kind of reason is that?" Riwoo spat, confusion written all over his face. The three girly pops next to him shouted in agreement and started gossiping about the soccer team while Taesan and Sungho contemplated their life choices.

"It might be for the better. No more staring at those hot soccer boys, I fear..." Hao snickered when he saw the trio frown immediately. "But it's okay. You'll do just as good in the gym. It has air conditioning too, so you won't faint anymore." he grinned, unbeknownst to the chaos that was about to erupt.

"Anymore?! Who fainted last time?" Riwoo gave Hao a serious look and scanned the room for anyone who appeared guilty. Either the person was really good at hiding it or it was someone else on the field because Riwoo couldn't figure it out.

It wasn't until Hao gave Taesan an apologetic face that Riwoo turned around in his chair and gripped the younger's forearm as gently yet parentally harshly as possible. Taesan puffed up his cheeks at the action.

"When the hell did you faint? Am I not already supervising your ass enough?" Riwoo started scanning Taesan's body for injuries as if they hadn't walked to the main campus together. He gave up and stared into Taesan's unreadable eyes.

"On Friday when you left to fill up your water bottle while I was still packing up." Taesan giggled, somehow finding the situation funny amongst all other things. "Hao came in to ask how practice went and boom!"
