Ten anxiously typed and typed, until he formed a paragraph. He reread it, making sure it conveyed everything he had in his mind. Ten and Yuta were currently on break, and they were the only ones in the break room. Yuta sat across from Ten, sulking and unmotivated to do any work.

"Who you textin'?" Yuta asked, his head laying on his arm against the break room table.

"It's just Lisa." Ten lies.

Yuta sighs. "After what just happened, I don't think I can tell Jisoo how I feel." 

Ten stopped typing. "Why not?"

"That Doyoung guy. He obviously has it out for her. I'm just going to get in the way." Yuta said. "I don't know how to explain it, but I'm kind of hurt right now."

"You could still try. Maybe it'll change her mind if you just give her a solid sign that you're interested in her too." Ten suggested, still working on the text.

Yuta seemed to ignore what he said. "You've been typing non-stop. Is it a paragraph?"

"Yuta. Stop asking me about what I'm texting and get yourself together." Ten said, finally getting his eyes off his phone.

"I don't think I will." Yuta said, putting his head back down on the table.

Ten sighed at the helpless boy, knowing in advance that he needed a little push. However, Yuta kept taking to him and Ten would lose his focus on the text. He wanted to pay attention and be there actively listening to his friend, but he also needed to finish his thoughts and send the text to Jisoo.

"Imagine if I was Jaehyun right now." Yuta said. "I'd be confident as hell too. He's got Rosé for sure, and he's already planning to ask her to be his girlfriend. Some guys just have it better than me, I guess."

"Hey, don't compare yourself to others. It's unhealthy." Ten said.

"I want what he has." Yuta sighed.

Ten sighed and put his phone down, but Yuta's swift eyes glanced on his screen. Ten quickly turned it off, but Yuta noticed that the person he was texting didn't have a contact photo. He also spotted that the contact name was longer. He knew for a fact that Ten had a photo for Lisa, and that her contact name for his phone was only 'lis'. Yuta decided to not say anything about it.

"Wait, he's asking Rosé to be his girlfriend? For real?" Ten asked.

"Yeah, he told me. He said he was gonna tell you and Taeyong but he didn't know how you guys would react." Yuta said.

"Good for him. He knows what he wants and fights for it. Maybe you should be like Jaehyun." Ten said, picking his phone back up.

"Nevermind, let's not talk about Jaehyun." Yuta said. Ten laughed lightly and continued to type. Yuta eventually shut his mouth and Ten finished it, and reread it to make sure it said everything he wanted to say.

"Did he reply yet?" Lisa asked, becoming impatient.

"Not yet, the typing thing is still there." Jisoo replied

"He's taking forever." Lisa said.

"Give him a minute, he's probably writing a lot and it's hard to text when at work." Jennie said.

One minute passed by. Then two. Then three. The girls were getting impatient and Jisoo wasn't even sure if  Ten was actually there or accidentally left his phone open.
