The following week
- 10.45 a.m. -
[Some fancy club room in Écarlate High School]

"We're joining? It's not a big-scale competition and besides the national level is coming soon," Pinky raised her eyebrows as she glanced over Hanbin suspiciously, "Why bother?"

Hanbin jumped on the what seems like an expensive dining table and he gives the basketball a twirl on his finger as he continued walking on the table back and forth. This results in him getting the glares from those who were sitting at the table.

Sunwoo, who was having steak at the table, looked up at Hanbin in a judging manner. He had his arms shielding the food, in case the captain might step on his food accidentally. Sunwoo gave Hanbin a hiss whenever the older boy dangerously nearing him.

Jeno throw his phone behind and knocking Chaeryoung's head in the process before it safely landed on the sofa. The poor girl pouted at Jeno's lack of sympathy and went to the mini kitchen.

He joined the conversation after being quiet ever since he entered the room,

"I think our captain got something on his mind, again."

"Let's take it as a warm-up, okay? The charity competition isn't that bad." Hanbin crouched down as he passed the ball to the boy next to him. San took over the ball twirling session and leisurely walked towards the window.

"Hey Justin, what did you get for yesterday's chemistry test?" San asked without turning around, concentrating on balancing the ball.

Justin exhaled sharply and pulled out the test paper from his bag and showed it to Jeno who sat opposite to him, "I only scored 98 out of 100."

"Tough luck my friend," Chaeryoung came with a plate of muffins and patted his shoulder using her free hand. She walked around and offers the muffins to everyone in the room.

"Where is Rosé?" Tzuyu looked around and to no avail, the older girl is nowhere to be seen.

"Hunting down some cheerleaders who gossips about her, I suppose," San guessed, now sitting down next to Sunwoo and taking a bite of the homemade muffins by Chaeryoung.

Speaking of the devil, Rosé appeared and stopped by the door when she saw the captain,

"Oh my god, KIM HANBIN! What did I tell you about standing on my mahogany table, you brat! I've just bought that three days ago."

Everyone froze and turned their head to Hanbin, anticipating his escapade like he does all the time whenever he did something wrong.

He innocently rubbed the nape of his neck and climbed down the table before sprinting out to the balcony and hold the glass door from outside, trying to stop Rosé who wants to skin him alive.

"Guys, have you heard that Euphoria High School will have their comeback in the swimming field?" San cocked his eyebrows up and one side of his mouth rose into a mischievous grin.

Jeno let out an 'oh' and his eyes wandered to Hanbin who got head-locked and dragged back inside by Rosé, "So that's why?"

"Isn't that our school's old swimming rival?" Justin butted in eagerly. He crumpled the test paper and tossed it on the table. Justin snickered, "Perhaps, it is our turn to bring Écarlate's honor and to face off with the Euphoria's kids."

The youngest girl in the club poured another cup and called for Rosé, "Vice-captain, would you like some tea?"

"Sure, Chaeryoung. Give me a few second," Rosé had done wrestling with the poor boy who's lying on the floor, looking pity with his disheveled hair and wrinkled shirt.
