Lero Ro had everyone sat in a meeting room to explain the fourth test. You sat next to Rak, who had Khun sitting on his other side. You hadn't talked to him since your small quarrel the day before. Obviously you got why, but in this situation Bam having her stay would be selfish.

"The fourth test will be assigned after you've been assigned positions," Lero Ro explained.

"Assigned positions?" Shibisu repeated.

"The battles fought in the tower are team battles. Your position is the role you take on during battles. There are five basic positions.

The fisherman. They fight at close quarters at the heart of the battle.

The spear bearer. They control and kill their enemies from a distance.

The light bearer. They illuminate the dark tower with their lighthouse, as well as gather and distribute information about the situation.

The scout. They investigate their enemies' movements on the front lines and assist the fisherman.

Finally, the Wave controller. They are directors of the battle, who provide support and control in combat using shinsu.

You will study the position you're assigned. Depending on your performance, several of you may be chosen to fulfill those positions."

"Excuse me?" Khun interrupted. Lero Ro let him speak. "What about the guys who are injured now? Are they disqualified?"

You looked over at Rachel, with her head down. "They are responsible for their own injuries," Lero Ro answered.

You looked at him in shock and Rak stood up in rage. "Then what about black turtle?"

"By the way, Bam's position is wave controller. Since the arrival of the wave Controller instructor, Yuga, has been delayed, their training will begin two days from now."

The next day, your team waited in Bam's room. Rak was eating chocolate bars Khun had duplicated. Rak had offered you some too, but you declined since it felt like you would lose your ignoring game with Khun.

You looked over at Bam, to see his eyes finally open. Rak stopped eating and Khun went to his side. "You're awake Bam?" He said happily.

Bam slowly got up as you made your way over next to his bed as well. Bam held his head, probably in pain. "You've been asleep for five days. And the next test started yesterday."

"Khun! Um..."

"You must be worried that you've been disqualified."

"No I"-

"Then relax." You rolled your eyes. He should stop trying to avoid the topic. "You're lucky."

You listened in as he explained what happened the day before with the position selection, also stealing a chocolate bar while he was busy.

"So your training starts tomorrow," He placed a hand on Bams' shoulder, "You're really lucky."

"Yeah? So, uh"-

"You're wondering about the girl who was helping you?" You interrupted. Bam quickly turned to you, excited to hear what you had to say. You smiled at him. "She's fine. She wasn't seriously injured."

He left out a huff of relief and smiled. "I'm glad."

"But apparently she's not the girl you knew," Khun intruded his happy thoughts, making the poor boy look up in shock. "I asked her about it, and she said she has no idea who you are." You saw Rak turn around slightly and look over at Khun suspiciously. You stared back at him, letting him know not to say anything. Khun stood up. "I guess you mistook her for someone else."

"I mistook her..." Bam repeated, looking down. You pat his bandaged head.

Khun brushed it off. "Don't worry about it. If you keep climbing the tower, you'll run into her eventually." He picked up clothes you had picked out for Bam earlier and smiled at him. "More importantly, here. I bought this for you. The clothes you were wearing before were covered in blood."

You raised an eyebrow as Rak walked behind Khun. What was this false credit?

"Hey, where's mine?' Rak asked.

"The next time I'm at a pet shop I'll buy you a custom collar," Khun teased.

Rak yelled. "I'll bite you to pieces!"

"Bring it on bigface!" Khun countered.

You blocked out their voices as you saw Bam cling to his sheets. "Are you alright Bam? Need anything?" He shook his head. "I'm going to leave so you can change okay? See you later."

You kissed his head, not missing Khun and Raks stares.

"I'm going to go with her," You heard Khun say as you went out. "She might get lost."

You slid the door shut and went over to your room but quickly heard Bam's door slide open. "Y/N?"

"Can we talk about this inside?" He nodded and followed you to your room. You took a seat on your bed and he sat on the chair beside the door.

You sighed. "Look, I'm sorry alright. I don't like the cold shoulder treatment"-

"Yeah, I'm sorry too. I don't agree with you still," You nodded as he paused. You understood why. "But I don't like not talking either."

You were both silent for a moment. Him waiting for your answer and you thinking about something else. You broke it very quickly though.

"I think I like you."

Khun looked at you shocked. "What? Uh, well, um, sorry"-

"No, no I get it. I don't want to date either. I just wanted you to know I think I have feelings for you. I'll let you know when I've confirmed it, yeah?" You smiled at him and a grin grew on his face.

"Yeah."

As you sat at a table, eating food, Khun- very annoyingly might you add- talked about Rachel to a gloomy Bam. "Suppose she is the girl you're looking for. It means she doesn't want to see you," He spoke so cockily you wanted to slap him. He seemed to have realized he hurt Bam's feelings and softened the blow. "Not now."

You turned around to see Rak - also annoyingly- practicing tossing his spear. Khun rested his face in his hand with his elbow leaning on the table. "In that case isn't your only option to get stronger so she'll want to climb the tower with you?"

"He's right," Rak joined in. "Get stronger turtle. Then fight me."

You rolled your eyes. Of course. "Train hard," Khun encouraged.

Bam- finally- smiled, making you do so as well.
