"Hey don't call me weird!"

Just then, the other members walked in, followed by Seoho's girlfriend, Yuna (a/n: damnit @keonhee and seoho shippers im sorry but its okay she won't be around for long). Immediately, Ravn fell quiet again.

Hwanwoong looked at Ravn curiously. They had met Yuna a few times before, mostly after performances, or when she came to the dorms after their dates.

Yuna greeted them brightly. Hwanwoong didn't know what to think of her. On one hand, she had never done anything to make him dislike her, but somehow...

"Hi, Hwanwoong! Do you still remember my name?"
"Of course... hi Yuna!" Hwanwoong greeted her politely.
"You're so cute." Yuna placed her hand on his shoulder. Hwanwoong stepped to the side subtly and her hand fell between them. He glanced at her and saw her furrowing her brow, but she quickly smiled at him.

"Thanks..?" Hwanwoong said uncertainly. Yuna made him feel uneasy. Somehow, he felt tension among the members. He glanced around and saw Seoho and Keonhee sitting away from the cluster where Hwanwoong, Ravn, Leedo, Xion and Yuna were. Ravn was staring at his jeans, picking at invisible pieces of lint.

Hwanwoong turned back at Yuna who was staring at him expectantly.

"Uh... where are you going with Seoho later? You seem like you're dressed up." Hwanwoong attempted polite conversation.

"Oh nowhere, haha, i just came to see how you guys were doing!" Yuna adjusted her necklace with a circular pendant. "Hey do you wanna exchange numbers? Just so we can be friends? I want to have a good relationship with my boyfriend's friends."

Hwanwoong looked at Seoho for help, but he appeared to be sleeping, with his head on his knees. He raised an eyebrow at Keonhee, who just shrugged.

"Oh uh sure?" Hwanwoong was left with no option but to agree. "By the way, does your necklace have rubies in it? I thought I saw a red flash..."

Yuna paused. She smiled, albeit a little forced, and said "You're right! So observant... cute."

At this moment, Ravn excused himself and stumbled out of the practice room.

"Is he okay?" Leedo finally spoke up. Hwanwoong glanced down at where Leedo and Xion were playing games on the floor.

"He looks drunk." All three of them looked at her incredulously.

"What? He does."
"Hyung doesn't drink." Xion rebutted.
"How would you know?"

How would YOU know?

Hwanwoong felt like rolling his eyes and decided to escape on pretense of going to find Ravn.

"Hyung... are you okay?" Hwanwoong felt silly talking to an entire row of cubicles, but he was worried.

He heard a toilet flush and Ravn stepped out, his head hanging low.

"What do you want?" He asked, not looking up. Hwanwoong thought he sounded defeated and tired.

"I was just worried hyung..."
"I'm fine... go entertain Yuna."

Hwanwoong bit his lip.

He doesn't seem to like her either... but what if i tell him and he reports to Seoho?

Afterall, they were the two eldest, and shared a room. They often spent time together, especially when the maknae line went out to play (with Leedo tagging along to make sure no one went missing). In the end though, Hwanwoong decided to trust him.

"Hyung... I know its wrong to say this, but I don't really like Yuna..."
"Really?" Ravn lifted his head so fast that he hit it on the towel dispenser on top of the sinks. Rubbing his head, he smiled. "That's good."

Hwanwoong was distracted by Ravn's smile (This is the first time in so long that he smiled at me...) that he nearly missed what he said.

"Why good?"
"Huh? Oh nothing..."
"Hyung~ tell me..."
"Cute."

Hwanwoong gaped at him. Ravn's eyes widen.

"You're cute too? But don't change the subject!
"I'm not telling you."
"But you said I'm cute~"
"So? You're cute but that isn't gonna change anything."

Hwanwoong pouted.

"Fine, but let's go back to the practice room."
"Okay cutie."
