Hoseok leaned down to get the water bottle that had dropped down into the pit of the vending machine. He turned around to go back to the dance studio with the drink he bought but was left standing straight, his eyes bulging out of his sockets.

Kim Seokjin was walking towards him with a cup of warm drink in his hands, his brown sweater making him look softer than usual.

"Hey." Seokjin said to him whilst looking him straight in the eye.

Hoseok wanted to melt there and then.

"Can you please do me a favor and hold my coffee for a second?" Seokjin asked politely before holding out his coffee to the other male.

"U-uh sure!" Hoseok cursed himself for stuttering as Seokjin warmly smiled and gave him his drink. Hoseok frantically tried to wipe the sweat on his face with the towel hanging around his neck as Seokjin pressed the button for chocolate milk. He crouched down to get it and turned around smiling sweetly to Hoseok who stood flustered.

"Thank you." Seokjin said and took the coffee back gently from the man.

"No problem at all." Hoseok said back to him and before he can turn on his heels and run out of this situation Seokjin called out to him again,

"Hey, you're from the dancing department aren't you?"

"Yeah, I am." Hosoek turned back to him.

"The main dancer of A team right? I've seen you dance once, you were really good!" Seokjin praised making Hoseok blush a dark red.

"Woah, you have? I've never seen you at the competition though." Hoseok said after swallowing the remaining spit in his dry mouth.

"I was offered the professor seat so I wasn't in the audience seat that's probably why you haven't see me." Seokjin offered.

"As expected." Hoseok thought in his mind. Of course, Seokjin had special privileges and access since his grades were outstandingly high.

"Anyways, have you heard of the school theatre taking place this year?" Seokjin asked.

"Yeah! It's real hot topic! You're the lead actor, the boy without a name so you're going to play as Kim Seokjin right?" Hoseok excitedly blabbered.

"You sure know a lot." Seokjin chuckled.

"I'm also the president of the school radio so I get to know a lot of what's going on here." Hoseok sheepishly said.

"Oh! So you're Jung Hoseok! I've always wanted to thank you for promoting my theatre so perfectly! Honestly, I'm so grateful thank you a lot." Seokjin bowed a little.

"Nothing to thank me for!" Hoseok waved his hand quickly as he felt the blush reaching his cheeks.

"Since you know a lot about my theatre I'll get to my offer quickly." Seokjin said.

"Huh? What's that?" Hoseok asked, coaxing his head to the side.

"I need a team of dancers for the theatre." Seokjin told Hoseok, watching his mouth drop open.

"What? I thought dancing wasn't allowed in the school theatre."

Seokjin rolled his eyes, "I don't listen to the school rules. I make them and they accept."

"Sure they do." Hoseok laughed whole heartedly as he had war flash backs of Seokjin arguing with the school for free wet wipe distribution in the school cafeteria two years ago when Hoseok was still a freshman. Most students were thankful for this, being able to wipe the mess around their mouth efficiently now. Hoseok remembers that day's broadcast clearly when the principle almost busted open the recording room to interrupt them.
