"mingyu-ah!" a brown haired boy shouted at the entrace of the hall, with the other companions he was bringing in. mingyu looked up to see vernon and seungkwan rushing to him with filled trays balancing on their hands. "there you losers are. what took you so long?" he asked disappointedly. he watches as his hyungs fill up the other half of the table while gossiping about something they always used to.

"we got surprised by some of chan's fandom base at the hallways leading here. they looked like hungry hyenas dying to marry chan. ugh" soonyoung explains with a disgusted face. "fandom base?" mingyu asks not knowing anything. "well you see, chan uploaded a video of him dancing to a song called "Sucker", he named it "Dino's Danceology". and guess what, it got trending on youtube last night" jisoo explains as he takes his seat and shows mingyu a video of chan dancing on his phone.

"how did i not know this?" he whines completely. "because you live under a rock darling" jihoon teases like an old uncle. mingyu groans at him with an ironic look.

"woah i didnt know chan could dance like that. and why dino though?" mingyu compliments to the younger who were flushed in embarrassment. "i- er yeah. i just got bored, and dino is my you know, like my stage name of sort" he says. "yeah and we couldve been frickin' seduced by those students if me and soonyoung hadnt stood up to them" jisoo says in agreement with soonyoung who both gave awful looks.

"yeah pretty good they stood up or we couldve also been starved" junhui completes the statement as he joins them at their table.

"aww our little channie is growing up so fast" jisoo mocks as he ruffles the younger's head. "ah, you remind me of jeong- uh no one who teases me like that" chan pauses as he almost slipped his words again, receiving disturbed looks from the others, especially mingyu.

"well now that were all here. i wanna ask where are we going this semester break by the way?" hansol asks to break the awkwardness. "semester break?" mingyu says in curiosity. "yeah, we always hang out for a couple of days. take it as a short trip. and now that your with us, your officially joining us!" soonyoung clarifies as what mingyu was questioning.

"yeah. soonyoung's right. your free to join us for the trip if you want" junhui complies, looking at mingyu with a gaze. "okay before all of this, where are we really going this time?"

"oh i know! lets go to a safari!" jisoo speaks up earning distasted looks from the others. "how about an amusement park?" chan suggests. "chan we have went to the same amusement park for the last 2 years." seungkwan protests.

2 years? so theyve all known each other for so long already. wow. "h-how about we sleep over a rented house or something. or going to a beach? simple" mingyu proposes sheepishly.

"hmm. i dont see why not. okay! we'll rent a house then-" hansol finishes up as the others suggests more. "there has to be a pool!" soonyoung yells. "there should be a nice view of course" jisoo objects. "and of course it has to have wifi" jihoon says boldly.

"alright alright. calm down. we'll find a house that has a pool, a nice view, and, well, wifi" hansol dictates. "why cant we just check-in to a hotel?" junhui cuts in, obtaining blank faces from his friends which seems that their logic and discussion had been for nothing.

"alright. this meeting is over. get back to your classrooms you bozos." hansol summarizes as they end their assembly-like meeting.

all 8 of them leaves the hall, heading to their respective rooms.

yet, hansol and mingyu were the two people left at their table. mingyu was on the point of finding his wallet unde the table, while hansol seemed to be waiting for him.

"found it- ow" he exclaims while bumping his head under the table, then turning around to see hansol who was standing in front of him. "oh hey hansol. what are you still doing here?" he asks as he rubs his head on the bumped spot. "i- er. mingyu, i wanted to tell you something. you see, junhui-hyung, i did mentioned you once that he had changed even before you came along. and i noticed that the two of you were the most likely to be closer than the rest of us. and, he actually became much gleeful than before. i just wanted to say thank you. for making hyung happy. and if he mentioned something about what happened to him before, c-can you at least tell us?"

"why? is there something wrong? he did seemed pretty down when i first talked to him, and yes his mood changed when i came up to him." mingyu answers in reply.

"well, if you did knew anything, make sure to notify us alright? we just wanna make sure that hyung is okay. we dont want him to feel bad about anything" hansol utters. "yeah sure. ill let you know" he grins at hansol as the bell rang. they hurried back to their classroom as class was about to start.

mingyu's head was wandering once more about what was the reason hansol came up to him like that randomly and questioning him about their hyung.

dismissal came pretty early without mingyu noticing the time. he clears up his mind from the questions that he keeps wondering in his head for the entire day. he walks back home instead of riding a bus because he wasnt patient enough to wait an hour longer for the next bus to stop by. so he insisted walking home since he had no choice. it actually went pretty good, since there were no sign of him that was coming his way before arriving home.

he decided to stop by a 7-eleven convenient store and grab a cone of ice cream since he was starving, and today's lunch wasnt enough for him to be full. i mean, who would be stuffed from beans and peas right?

he was walking by the sidewalk as he slurps his cone of vanilla ice cream. he passed by some coffe shops, taking a sift of the coffee bean aroma. not until he notices a specific coffee shop with a very familiar person inside, sitting on a table near the window, probably playing with his phone.

his face dropped in shock as he sees the person.
