"Taeyong!" Ten called out. The red-haired man whipped around at the sound of his name, a smile blooming on his face when they made eye contact.

"Ten!" Taeyong hopped up, pulling Ten into a hug.

"I can't believe this went through," Ten said. A devilish sparkle twinkled in his eyes.

"Why do you look like you planned this?" Taeyong asked suspiciously.

"I'm just excited, that's all."

"'M tired," Taeyong groaned. He and Ten had finally learned all the choreography. Six hours spent in the dance studio. Taeyong's phone lit up. Ten passed it too him, but not before glancing at the screen. Jaehyunnie.

"You have a text," Ten said. He made a mental note to make fun of Jaehyun later, but his heart softened at the expression of joy on Taeyong's face.

"You're so whipped," Ten said. Taeyong ignored him in favor of reading the text.

"I know," Taeyong replied airly, not glancing up. Ten rolled his eyes. Sappy romance made him want to throw up. Taeyong giggled at his phone. Ten got up to check his own phone.

Nine: if he talks to me first

"I hate my life," Johnny said for the eight-hundredth time that evening. Yukhei learned to tune him out after the first three times. Taeyong still wasn't back from practice, which meant that the other members were either sleeping (Jisung), doing homework (Renjun and Jaemin, hopefully), eating (Yukhei), or doing shady stuff in their rooms (Yuta and Sicheng). And of course, Johnny was in the depths of his despair, moping around in his room. He wasn't jealous of Taeyong, per se. Ok, he kind of was jealous that Taeyong got to hang around Ten. He had half a mind to drive the the dance studio and, under the guise of picking Taeyong up, make a move on Ten. He buried his face in his pillow. Yukhei's loud chewing echoed in his mind.
