"Bro, you're gonna be fine," Chan said as he patted his friend's shoulder. "You're a junior and you haven't been to one of our parties yet, so what? You don't need to freak out."

Minho groaned as he leaned back, letting his back hit the plush grey carpet beneath him. "I'm not 'freaking out'. I just... don't know how to conduct myself at an event like this. What do I talk about? Would it be wrong to bring up science? God, I love science."

Another boy placed a finger over his lips. "For the love of god, Minho, don't talk about science. When we first met, you told me about thermodynamics and just kept talking for a solid forty minutes."

"Okay," Minho argued, "But you can't say you didn't enjoy our conversation. Science can be a really engaging topic! Earlier today, I was reading about the effects of—"

Woojin cut him off once more. "Dude, we literally just told you not to talk about science. Girls aren't into that sort of thing."

Minho shrugged as he sat up, pushing his hair out of his face. "Well, maybe I'm not interested in 'that sort of thing'."

Chan raised an eyebrow. "What sort of thing? You love science, man."

"Girls. I'm trying to say I don't care if girls aren't into science. I'm not into girls."

Chan and Woojin locked eyes for a moment before returning their attention to Minho. "Aye," Chan said, a small smile playing at his lips. "I've got someone I'd like to introduce you to tonight. He's real cute." He sent the younger boy a wink before he stood to leave so he could help Woojin finish setting up for the party.
