My crotch, chest, and palms lay flat on the mat as I stretch with split legs, the pull of my arms sending a light burn through my body as I mentally count to twenty.
Ever since the clothing incident, I've been steering well clear of the boys. Luckily Viper's here to keep me company.
Shortly after, Jimin walks past and Viper can't resist cringing at him.
"Ugh, look at him. Smug... Big lipped... Old man-hair looking jerk. Short guys really are closer to hell."
"Vi..."
"I just can't believe they did that to you. After all those hours cleaning together, you'd think Taehyung would lay off a little."
"I mean, I don't expect my competition to ever go easy on me..." I glance at the boys talking in the distance and notice a change in Taehyung's appearance today. Instead of his usual high ponytail, he ties only the top of his hair into a bun, letting the lower half fall over his shoulders and bangs drape over his headband. Instead of his usual multi-layered hanbok, he sports a simple blue wrap set.
I look back down, " But I don't think he was in on it."
"What?"
"I don't know, he looked genuinely surprised and empathetic when he saw me like that."
Viper shakes her head and sings, "Somebody's letting her guard down..."
"I'm not. Just because he didn't do it, doesn't mean I trust him. Not after all his prior sabotages."
"I don't know who you ladies are talking about—" Yun joins us out of nowhere and kisses my hand. "But I would never sabotage you. I'd treat you like a princess."
"For crying out loud— She doesn't L I K E Y O U." Yang shoves his brother and joins alongside Yeonjun.
"No one asked you, twerp!"
"Shut your face!" The two immediately wrestle.
I roll my eyes. "Guys..."
"No no, let them at it. I love watching idiots fight." Viper rests her chin in her hand with a smile.
"If Hobi were here, he'd have stopped them by now." Yeonjun sighs with arms wrapped around his knees. "...I miss him."
"Well lucky for you, I spoke to Sensei and he said that Hoseok could come back."
