Eyes Here

Fluttering Hearts

Jinhwan raised his brows when the two idiots looked so awkward while staring into each other's eyes.
"Hyung! You need to stop cringing!" Chanwoo said clicking his tongue.
"Ah these two are crazy! He used to be like that to Junhoe too." Donghyuk said which earned a nod from Junhoe.
Meanwhile Hanbin was relaxed and serious as he looked at Jiwon. It wasn't really anything to be shy about.
"Ahhh!!! enough of this!! Why are we even doing this!!" Jiwon grumbled, finally jumping away from Hanbin and rubbing his arms. "Yah!! look!! My hair's standing!" Jiwon complained while showing his arms. He shook his body in disgust.

"You guys are really weird together." Jinhwan smiled before laughing.
"Hyung, don't be like that." Jiwon said before pouting at Jinhwan.
Jinhwan just crunched his face and teased Jiwon even more. Jiwon just huffed, not believing that his hyung would say such a thing.
"It's just a staring contest." Hanbin said, obviously proud that he won over Jiwon.
"If this was a strength contest I'd win easily." Jiwon scoffed making the others roll their eyes.

"And here goes the bragging." Yunhyeong said.
"What do you mean? You all know how strong I am." Jiwon said, backing up his case while flexing.
"But you haven't proven your strength with exercise." Junhoe countered making Jiwon shake his head.
"When you say strength it needs to be arm wrestling or kneel to your superior." Jiwon reasoned.
"You just wanna be violent." Donghyuk said, earning him a glare from Jiwon.

"Strength is the only thing you're proud of hyung." Chanwoo said in a mocking tone. "can't even beat Hanbin-hyung in a push up battle." he whispered but loud enough for everyone to hear.
"What did you just say?!" Jiwon blasted which only made the maknae raise his shoulders. "But you haven't beaten him yet." Chanwoo reasoned.
"YET! I'll beat him today!" Jiwon said, pulling his sleeves up.

"Aaaaaand there goes the betting game. So who's betting on Jiwon-hyung?" Chanwoo said, his inner business mind taking over again.
"Yah, don't be so mean to them. They're gonna get mad at you one of these days." Yunhyeong said.
"So does that mean you're betting on Jiwon-hyung?" Chanwoo asked, which made Yunhyeong flustered. "W-well..." Yunhyeong was unable to answer.

"I'm going for Hanbin-hyung." Junhoe said, raising his hand and crossing his legs-suddenly becoming sophisticated af.
"Hanbin-hyung for me too." Donghyuk said, smiling at Jiwon who just scowled at him.
"Really Donghyuk?" Jiwon said. "Just wait till I beat Hanbin. You're all gonna get it." Jiwon said.

"I'm betting on Hanbin too." Yunhyeong whispered before Chanwoo headed to the last one.

"So... Jiwon-hyung or Hanbin-hyung?" Chanwoo asked, raising his brows and eyes glimmering as if it wasn't the bet he was asking about.
Jinhwan wrinkled his forehead while looking at Chanwoo. This kid and his evil persona.
"I'm not betting for anyone. We all know who'll win anyway." Jinhwan said, teasing Jiwon who looked at him surprised. "I can't believe even Jinhwan-hyung doesn't believe in me." Jiwon said.

"I'll bet on Jiwon." Jinhwan whispered to Chanwoo when Jiwon turned away. The maknae's eyes widened with what he heard. Not sure why Jinhwan would choose a losing side.

And so the two started warming up and stretching first.

Hanbin winked at everyone and the others just laughed in amusement. Jinhwan, on the other hand just smiled at him and raised his brows. He wasn't sure why he picked Jiwon but he wanted to at least give the guy a chance. Although he knows that Hanbin has been working out so he's got more endurance than before.

This reminds him of the days when Jiwon could easily beat Hanbin, the times when Hanbin wasn't into endurance training so he's been defeated over and over. But the tides turned once Hanbin started training. Hard work and practice does beat talent, unless talent does hard work.
