Realistic or Modern Haenghada High (CLOSED)

[Sir Damien]

Was Hyuun the only one that wanted to win this thing? His life was riding on this. His father had already put his application into Harvard for crying out loud! So their performance was less than appreciated on Hyuun's part. Though, he didn't give it his all either. He couldn't be mad at anyone...he had given up too. Especially losing G. Hell, even before they lost G. He was going to lose. He was going to go to Harvard, or Yale, or Cambridge, or somewhere Ivy league. It's what his father wanted...maybe that's why he didn't give zero cares about hitting G like that. His life in the music industry was as good as over before that. 


When he heard the slam on the door his eyes widened. He adjusted the blue and black swim trunks as he seen everyone run out of the room. "Don't leave me with her!" He whisper yelled to them, but it was too late. They were gone.  He sighed a long sigh and walked to the door to open it. "Rosee is dumb, she doesn't know shit. And Yuri would blab to anyone. It isn't any secret that I went to talk to G. After what happened with Yuri I was already angry, but what he did to you? I was officially done with his shit. So he's no longer our mentor. You guys are bound to win now." He took off the bandages that he was already bleeding through, walking back into his room to change them. "I beat the ever living shit out of him. If he shows his face I'd be shocked." 

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

"He probably deserves whatever beating he's about to get, physical or verbal." Choi couldn't help but grin slightly at Minho as he slid into the hot water. God he was cute. He didn't seem the slightest upset about their performance, not that they did bad by any means, but they weren't as good as the girls. That's one of the things she liked about him. Not much got to him. "And it was my brother who gave the beating. A black eye compared to what the other guy got? Hardly a beating." She leaned her head back and let out a small sigh, her long lashes closing over her eyes. Things were going well for their group, and at this rate they would win. She would stand out to her family. Unfortunately it meant Hyuun would be sent away to some fancy school...that's what worried her. Minho would do great things either way, same with Jin. Hoya had all the money he could dream of, he'd be fine. Yuri would get into a life she deserved, Yubin and Rosee? A life they belonged. 


When Minho spoke up she looked over at him curiously, blushing slightly when he grabbed her arm. "Okay..." They wouldn't get in trouble, right? G and Fei weren't there. Just her friends and Minho. Quickly she scooted over a couple rocks and settled in besides him, leaning against him and resting her head on his shoulder as Rosee came in and introduced the new guy. "Oh, guy at the front desk. Nice to meet you. I'm Choi." She held Minho's hand underneath the water as she looked up at the Jung guy, glancing over at Hoya quickly and giving him the 'don't make a scene' look. 

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Was it bad that Yuri felt guilty that the guys weren't doing well? Maybe if Yuri backed off Jin a little Hyuun would get along with him. And Hoya just needed a little push in the right direction. Rosee didn't seem like she was up for that at the moment. And Minho seemed completely distracted by Choi. Not that Yuri had any intentions on stopping them, they were totally cute together! But Choi wanted Minho to succeed too, right? Maybe Choi would help Yuri get the boys group back in the right direction. Hyuun seemed so distracted lately, like he had given up. If he lost then he'd be sent away to school. What would life be like without the twins in her life?


Either way, win or lose, their lives would change forever. 


When Jin came into the springs she smiled brightly and gave a small nod. "Mhmm! I can talk again! It feels weird. Like it's almost a foreign sound." She scooted close to Jin when he got into the water and couldn't wipe away the smile on her face, patting his hair. "You guys sounded great out there." It was true, they did. But she could tell that they weren't working as well as her group. "Maybe we can do a collaboration for Christmas or something. Because after Christmas we have our big performance, and we find out who wins right?" The thought turned her stomach. What would happen if Jin won? He'd go off and get himself a beautiful wife and be successful and have a ton of cute little Jin babies. Everyone had lives in front of them. 


Yuri was going to be stuck at home with her dad, working three to five jobs the rest of her life trying to help out her mom. 


When Rosee came in and introduced Jung her smile fell slightly. Poor Hoya, she could tell how upset he was. "Oh, nice to meet you Jung. Any friend of Rosee's is a friend of mine!" 

 

[Colt Voltage]

Hoya smiled slightly as everyone came into the spring. When Choi and Minho cuddled up and Yuri sat next to Jin he suddenly felt even more awkward than before. He had no problems with any of them, they were actually pretty cool. He just hated being a third wheel. Well, fifth wheel. Usually Rosee was with him and hung out with him. She was his friend. So when she came in with Jung her face fell. Flowers? Oh. His face went red from embarrassment. Anger? The steam...all could be contributing factors. But all he knew was he was done. Had she been leading him on, or had he been reading too much into things? That's what he deserved for letting down his guard.


Quickly Hoya stood up and walked out of the water, wrapping the towel around him. "You know what? Fuck it. Great to fucking meet you Jung, I hope you make her happy. Lord knows I don't know how." He let out a small laugh before grabbing his phone, dialing his buddy from Busan. "I have to go." He turned to Jin, Yuri, Choi, and Minho and gave them a small wave. "I'll see you guys back home." He didn't bother acknowledging Rosee's or Jung's existence at this point, he merely shouldered his way past the two of them and left. Busan wasn't too far away. 

 

[ZombieBaee]

"You beat him up! Hyunn!" Yubin stormed into the room after him as Hyunn turned to change the bandages, her eyes looking over him with concern all over her face. The door was still wide open and Yubin was sure that anyone in the hallway could hear her yelling as she walked into the room and snatching the new bandages from him. "Sit." She placed a hand gently against his shoulder and forced him to take a seat on the edge of the bed before she sat down besides him and took one of his hands, starting to wrap the bandages around it. If he looked like this... he must have really hurt the guy. A part of Yubin was nervous for some reason, her heart was fluttering and her face was hot. But another part was furious... not for beating up G, fuck that guy. But because of what could have happened.


"You could have gotten hurt." Yubin scolded, refusing to look at him as she continued to work on fixing up his hands, "He could have ruined you." Yubin didn't mean physically, she meant his career. "G has so much influence Hyunn, he could single handedly stop you from rapping. It wasn't worth it." She swallowed hard as she finished up and pulled back to look up at him, "Why do you think I didn't cause a scene in that cafe?" Well it was also because she was hurt, but still! G, if angry enough, could tell people in the industry about what Hyunn did and blacklist him! "You're too talented to be stopped because of shit like this."


Yubin pulled her hands away from his as she crossed them across her chest, giving him an annoyed look as her face only heated more, "But thank you. The guy deserved it. Not just for me, for Yuri and the way he acted towards everyone really..."

 

[ZombieBaee]

It was so nice to be able to actually talk to Yuri again, to actually hear her talk and not see her get frustrated with every attempted conversation. Plus she just seemed so much happier, which was great. Jin chuckled a little as she moved closer to him, smiling down at her before smoothing a hand carefully over her hair, "Thank you. So did you guys! And I have to admit, I liked the song." It was well written yes, but it was also a shot at G. A great one at that... though it kind of was at Jin as well. Though he chose to see it as empowering, not hateful. 


"That would be great! We could work on writing it and just show it to Fei... since I'm pretty sure we will be sharing a mentor now." Good riddance. Jin was just as happy, maybe more, than the others that the jackass would be gone for good. No way he would come around after Yuri humiliating him and Hyunn beating him. Plus whatever happened with Yubin... speaking of... "Hey Yuri, did Yubin ever tell you what happened?" 


Then he heard Rosee speak up and Jin instantly cringed, he caught the look Yuri gave Hoya but knew it would do nothing. And he was right. It wasn't long before Hoya stormed off, pissed off and scorned. While Jin felt for the guy, he couldn't blame Rosee.... Hoya really hurt her with his comments and this guy was an old friend anyways! "What Yuri said man. Nice to meet you... just ignore him..."

 

[EclipseRosee]

Everyone was being so nice to Jung! And it made Rosee really happy, she wanted her old friends to be able to hang out with her new friends, especially since she didn't have many... But when Hoya spoke up, Rosee wanted to cry, scream and strangle him! "Make me happy?" Rosee stammered, stunned as she watched Hoya push past him. Her heart was all sorts of broken as she turned to him, swallowing hard and reaching out to punch the back of his shoulder. 


"Are you kidding me Hoya!?"  Rosee had no clue she was talking this way to a member of a gang, and even if she did she was so angry she probably would have still said what she said, "You can insult strangers, insult me and burn down our house but I can't have friends outside of this group?! Am I not allowed Hoya?! All because you have some idea that you want to make me happy that you NEVER said to me! Some feelings that you never acted on!" Rosee was livid. Her hand was shaking as she pointed her finger at his back, "You did make me happy. You helped me out so many times when no one else would, without question and without judgement so excuse me if the pedestal I built under you was suddenly SHATTERED when I heard you make fun of people like me!"


Rosee felt bad for everyone else, having to watch her total breakdown. Especially Jung, he didn't sign up for this. Suddenly Rosee felt Jung wrap his hand gently around her arm and pull her back from Hoya, making her aware of how close she was getting to him as he was leaving. "I'm sorry guys. Thank you for being nice but I just want to go drink some tea and sit somewhere." With that Rosee and Jung left the room, going to the little porch out back and just sitting far away from everyone as she cried.

 

[KAYDEN]

"Shit Hoya!" As soon as Hoya stood up, Minho thought he was going to fight the guy, but he simply pushed past Rosee and Jung, causing Minho to settle back into his seat a little, though still on edge. And he was right to be, but not because of Hoya, because Rosee went off. She even hit the guy! Not hard enough to even hurt but enough to stop him from moving. And where was Hoya even going to go anyways?! 


This shit was why they could never work. Hoya was too explosive, and so was Minho at times. Jin didn't care at all and Hyunn was drowning, trying to keep them afloat. And this just seemed like a nail in the coffin...


"Hoya come on just stay, go to the room and just chill out." Minho knew it wouldn't work, but it was the last chance he thought they really had. If Hoya ran off now, who knows how they would perform as a group. He would be too focused on his jealousy at Rosee... And Minho was obviously too busy staring at Choi. Though it didn't hit him until they suddenly really were in danger of throwing in the towel completely. 

 

[Colt Voltage]

Before Hoya could leave he was stopped by a punch in the shoulder. It wasn't hard enough to hurt him, just enough to stop him and piss him off even more. He stood there silently with his fists clenched shut, He didn't say anything, he just listened like a wounded puppy. He watched her walk away with the guy and for the first time since he was five he felt tears prick at his eyes. Why was he so upset? Did he need to say that he liked her? He would have never said something like that, but he was sure that his feelings would have been known. It was probably for the best, anyway. Guys like him didn't deserve girls like her. 


A tear slid down his cheek, something he quickly wiped away. "I'm sorry guys. I really am. I don't belong here though. You should have realized that by now." He dialed the number and clicked call, looking back at the group. "I, uh, I'm going to Busan." With that said Hoya wrapped the towel around himself and left the inn. 

 

[Sir Damien]

"He deserved it, I'd do it all over again." Hyuun practically pouted as Yubin scolded him and wrapped his hand. "And let's be real, you guys are going to win. I'll be going to medical school come graduation. There's no point in me acting on my best behavior anymore. Who cares if I'm blacklisted?" Hyuun gave a small, almost sad, laugh as he watched Yubin wrap his hand. "He insulted you, he hurt you. Someone needed to do something. Though, I guess I'm no better." He had done the same thing hadn't he? Befriending her after the breakup...that must have been insulting. He didn't mean it to be though. It just was bad timing.


"Anyways. Thanks." He gave her a small smile before standing up. "I suppose we should go soak in the spring with everyone. Maybe the warm water settled everyone down."


-----


If only the water had settled things down. Apparently Hoya and Rosee got into it, Hoya stormed off, and he didn't return. He was gone for weeks. He texted Hyuun to send him a picture of the dance routine and song, he showed up for the video, then left again before they could ask any questions. 


Today was the first day of break and was also Christmas eve. They'd find out who won later on, though Hyuun could only assume it was the girls. It was a collaboration Jin and Yuri wrote together, and Rosee wrote the dancing to since Hoya didn't participate. All in all it came down to four things. Dancing, singing, rapping, and who looked better. The people at KG records put the video up online and had people vote who they think did better, the girls or the boys. 


Hyuun had been sitting on the couch playing Overwatch for most of the day. He had gotten the mail that morning and got his acceptance letter for Harvard. Ha. Hyuun a surgeon...At least he didn't need a good bedside manner. 

 

[Colt Voltage]

Hoya had went to Busan that night and went through initiation. Basically he signed away his life and got seven stars tattoos on his body. The mob itself was very prominent but also very secretive. They had people everywhere; government, entertainment, law enforcement. Hoya was sponsored by one of the leaders son. They had seven leaders, several of whom have died, and the rest were in prison. It used to be ritual to get seven stars on the chest, but now it was seven stars on the body. Hoya got one behind his ear, one on each wrist, and two down the side of each leg. Unfortunately his mentor wanted him to graduate, as did his father. So he participated in the colab. 


And now he was coming back to the house to spend Christmas eve. His dad was working, and his mentor had his own family. He wanted Hoya to spend his last Christmas and Christmas eve with people outside of the gang. Hoya let out a long sigh as he walked into the house. He wasn't excited to be here. He would rather be walking the streets, but it was snowing heavily and it was freezing. He tossed his coat and hat on the coat rack and set his shoes near everyone's. "Hey." Hoya waved slightly over at Hyuun and sat down on the couch, breathing some warm air onto his hands. "Any word yet?" He rubbed his hands together to try to warm them up, trying to make small talk.

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Yuri had been working her ass off the last few weeks. What with school, the song, learning the dance, and trying to work all three of her jobs at the same time to earn money for Christmas she had little time to sleep let alone socialize. She didn't even have time to feel bad. The theater kept her busy in the mornings, the cafe in the evening, and the club kept her busy every single night. It was her first year with more friends than Choi and Hyuun, she wanted them to have nice things. Especially if it was their first and possibly last Christmas together. She wanted them to remember her.


She sat in her room finishing up wrapping the presents. The tablet for Jin, the dance lesson certificate for her secret Santa person Rosee, the special edition of Overwatch that was 'pre-ordered' by someone so it had the Widowmaker skin for Yubin, the watch Hyuun would need for medical school if he went, a digital picture frame with a bunch of pictures of Minho and Choi for Minho, a spa trip for two for Choi, and she had even gotten Hoya a sleek silver picture frame of all of them after their first performance. They looked so happy, even Hoya. How could she not do at least that for him? Even if he didn't come home...


Yuri carried the gifts downstairs and walked to the living room, setting the silver and purple wrapped presents under the tree. It wasn't until she was done did she notice Hoya. "Hoya! You're home!" She smiled brightly and clapped her hands together. "Welcome back." Yuri looked exhausted. In truth she was so tired she was ready to drop. She hadn't gotten the chance to have Choi cut her hair so it went slightly past her shoulders now, and she even had small bags under her eyes that she didn't have time to conceal. But now that it was all over she could finally relax...at least, for a few days. Then it was back to work. That's how most of her breaks were spent. 


Plus, she didn't like going home for the holidays. Travel expenses weren't something she needed, and her dad got worse on holidays. 

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Choi had no clue what to get Jin. Yuri had said something about getting him a tablet, so that was out. So Choi said screw it and got him a set of Beats Solo3 wireless headphones. Hopefully he liked them. 


She was laying on the top bunk of her bed as she watched Yuri run downstairs with all of her presents. She was crazy with how much time and effort she put into this. 300 dollar headphones were fine for Choi because she didn't work for her money. How many hours did Yuri have to put in to buy all of that? The only extra effort Choi put in was the extensions Choi paid for, and paid for the specialist to put in for Yuri after Christmas, the headphones for her brother, and the little coupon book she made for Minho. It was stupid, she didn't even want to give it to him. She didn't know what to buy for the guy though, so she hand made it. Coupon for date night. A vacation just for the two of them. Ice cream date. Movie date. Free kiss. Shit like that...it was embarrassing. 


Too bad it was the only thing she could think of! Yuri's gift was probably better than hers to him, and Choi was the freaking girlfriend!


"Ugh..." Choi sighed a long sigh before slipping out of bed and grabbing the red wrapped gifts, walking them downstairs to the tree. She stopped as soon as she seen Hoya, blinking widely in surprise. "Oh. Didn't expect to see you." She sat the presents under the tree and sighed. "Well. Welcome. We did secret Santa. I'm sure Yuri is the only crazy one that got you a present though." 

 

[ZombieBaee]

Yubin had been out shopping with her mom a lot of the day, last minute shopping was the worst but she didn't have any time up until now! Between making the video, dodging calls from G and finishing up everything with the group, it was a miracle she could even shop on Christmas Eve. Although they had done a secret santa, Yubin wanted to get everyone something. Especially Hyunn after what happened with G... his gift had arrived in the mail a fever days ago though. No today she was picking up the custom white gold bracelets for the girls, each one with a charm corresponding to their Cry Squared symbol and a small piece of onyx hanging from it. Her mother picked out Jins gift, a nice new emerald green sweater because her mom thought he looked nice in green. And Minho? He got a gift certificate to a nice steakhouse in town, to finally take Choi out. 


When Yubin was finally done her mom dropped her back off at the house with a quick hug. It was strange to not go home tonight but she spent the day with her mom out downtown and they understood. The path to fame means making another family, all while keeping your blood close to your heart. 


"It is crazy out there." Yubin groaned as she plopped all the wrapped gifts under the tree. "And I went a little crazy... sorry." She turned and looked at Hyunn as he stared intently at the screen... she wanted to give him the controller so badly already. She had ordered it custom made, it was black with blue backlit buttons and paint splatter, it even had his name on it! 


"Oh shit Hoya. I'm sorry, we didn't think you'd be coming home... we did this whole stupid secret santa thing..." Yubin felt guilty for not including him


but Hoya had made it more than clear that he wanted nothing to do with them. Or so she thought... until he was here on Christmas Eve sitting on the couch. Yubin kicked off her boots and coat before sitting down on the chair and pulling up her legging clad legs to her chest. "So..." This was just awkward. 

 

[ZombieBaee]

Jin was awful at Christmas but thankfully he got Yuri for secret santa and he already had her gift all


planned anyways. It was a tanned leather notebook filled with paper and a nice ink pen. But the inside cover had a couple lines of lyrics from the song they wrote together etched into the leather with black threat. It locked and everything because Jin knew that Yuri usually kept her notebook pretty private. So he had also gotten her a white gold chain to keep the little key around her neck at all times. 


"Hey Rosee and I are almost done. Well bring the food out here though. Oh Hoya! We can get an extra plate down."  Jin and Rosee had been working on cooking dinner for the past hour now. A full meal, a chicken, roasted vegetables, salad, mashed potatoes everything. Jin liked to cook sometimes, so might as well


take some of the burden of Rosee. Yuri had been busy all day in her room anyways. 


"I think we can start taking food out to the table... oh and Hoya is out there." Jin said to Rosee as he picked up the chicken and gave her a small smile. Better to bluntly warn her than to blindside her.

 

[EclipseRosee]

Rosee and Yuri were mirroring each other damn near. They worked at one of the same places and it seemed like neither of them were ever in the house. Holidays were crazy... but thankfully Rosee had no bills to handle this year thanks to some anonymous donor... But still she wanted to get Hyunn something awesome for secret santa! She couldn't be as crazy as Yuri got or Yubin but still... she had found out some American rapper that Hyunn was a fan of was going to be in Seoul next month so she got him four tickets to take whoever he wanted. It was damn near all of her money but it felt so good to buy others things during the holidays! Hell she even found a way to buy something for Hoya... at work she saw this stupid tie that reminded her of him and she bought it with the next paycheck she got. It was black with a small linked chain going around it. It was professional but still Hoya... 


"Okay. And wait... what?" Rosee nearly dropped the pie as she pulled it from the oven. Hoya was here?! He didn't respond to a single text or call or anything but he would just appear on Christmas Eve?! Ugh. She set down the pie to cool and turned on her heel, irritation on her face as she ran a hand over her straightened hair. Her face was covered in flour and so was the pink apron around her waist. But oh well.


Rosee grabbed a bowl of salad and walked out, setting it down on the table before turning to look at Hoya on the couch. "H-Hoya." She had expected to be a major bitch to him but she couldn't do it. She could barely even say his name. 

 

[KAYDEN]

Minho regretted his gift for Choi. It seemed superficial the more he thought about it. But he didn't mean it like that at all! He just wanted to get her something sweet and practical, and when you're the personality and face of a group or anything really you use tools to enhance your looks. And it was no secret that Choi liked her makeup. So getting her a personalized makeup mag seemed sweet! It was a pastel blush pink with "Choi, baby." Written in gold cursive. Inside was a pair of diamond earrings but that was another story... he just hoped she would get it. Hell he even wrapped it in cute paper... 


Minho placed it under the tree and looked back at the scene around him. Hoya was here, Rosee was stammering. Uh oh. "Hey how about we all work on getting the food out here! I'm sure they would love some help right! Plus I'm starving." 


Minho moved into the kitchen and began to help bring out all the dishes and played and such. Good food always diffused awkward situations right?

[Sir Damien]

Hyuun didn't get much for people. His sister got a gift card to her favorite makeup store, Yuri got a gift card to her favorite clothing store, and Yubin got a personalized xbox one he had Blizzard make with Widowmaker on it. He even talked to Yuri about their gifts for her, so he had Blizzard put every single Widowmaker skin on it. And every time they come out with one they're going to send her a new one with the new skin on. He put some thought into that one. It arrived the day before and had been wrapped, sitting under the tree since. 


When Hoya came in his jaw dropped and he looked away from his game. He even died! "Holy. Um. Hey Hoya. No, no word yet. But it's Christmas eve, I'm sure everyone has more on their mind than the video." Apparently everybody but Hoya. "Anyways." He looked back at his game and quickly finished up the ten seconds of the game. Competition, 2 to 0. The other team couldn't even claim the objective. He chuckled quietly and turned off the console before standing up and stretching. "Yuri if you work anymore I think they're going to have to start providing you housing at that club of yours. By the way, why don't you let us come? I like beer. I'm sure Jin does. You as a cute bartender? I bet Jin would pay to see that." He chuckled quietly. Out of all the years she's worked there she hadn't allowed anyone to come see her. It seemed a little sketchy.


"Jeez Yubin, you went all out too didn't you?" He groaned quietly and rubbed the back of his neck. This could have very well been the last Christmas with everyone. Hell, it was his first with everyone But Yuri and Choi. "Anyway. Food. Let's go. Come on, Hoya. You're always welcomed." The fact that Yuri and Rosee got him something made it obvious that they didn't forget about him, even though it was obvious he was trying to forget about them. 


Hyuun sat down at the table and looked at all the food. "Damn. Who knew Jin could cook too? Or was this all Rosee. Be honest." Hyuun gave a small nervous chuckle. Hopefully there wouldn't be any drama...Who was he kidding. With this group it was all drama. 

 

[Colt Voltage]

Staying outside and freezing to death seemed like a better option each second. Everyone seemed to act differently around him. Why? There was no need to. He was angry, yeah, but not at any of them. The only one that had reason to be mad at him was Rosee. "It's fine. I didn't really plan on coming back to be honest. My sponsor told me to spend my last Christmas with everyone here." He smoothed out his hair and stood up, giving an awkward smile to everyone. He wore a black tee that revealed the stars on his wrists, his smoothed back hair covering the one behind his ear. "I'll probably just sleep most of tomorrow anyways, so don't worry about me." Not that they would. 


"Anyways." He stood to his full height and went to walk to the kitchen, freezing when he seen Rosee. She still looked amazing, even covered in flour. He had really tried to shut out all thoughts of her, but seeing her just made his heart hurt again. He wanted gone, and he wanted gone now. "Oh. Hey. Need me to carry anything out? I know I'm not allowed to cook, but I can still carry things..." He rubbed the star on his left wrist nervously. It was still healing, and they were still bugging him. Why did people get tattoos? He'd rather spend his money on something more productive.


Speaking of, he had a couple calls to make. He had planned to pay Rosee's bills for the next year, but since Yuri was her usual sweet self and thought of him even though he had tried to forget all of them he would pay for hers too. Lord knows they both needed it. He was going to get disowned by his father soon anyway, he was sure of it. 

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Yuri giggled nervously as everyone gathered. This was making her uncomfortable, and that almost never happened! When Hoya rubbed his wrist she saw the glimpse of the stars on them and felt faint. They looked familiar. Her dad had spent some time in prison before she was born, and he said he joined a gang while he was in it. Ssang Yong Pa, the double dragon, it was two dragons crossing over each other on his upper arm. They were based out of her hometown Gwangju. He had told her stories of the gangs in South Korea, the ones active and the ones gone. His had gone underground while she was in grade school. The star one, he said that was the one to look out for. That they were the most powerful, influential, and dangerous out of all of them. 


Hoya had two of the seven stars on his wrists. Did that mean he had five others? Or did he just want stars on his wrists? There had always been the rumors of him, but to actually be involved...


"Hoya..." Yuri's voice was quiet, like she didn't want to ask. Quickly she shook her head to clear the question from her head. "S-Sit. You're tired from the long drive, right?" She gave him a small smile before walking into the kitchen where Jin was. "C-Can I help with anything?" She avoided eye contact as she looked around the room, obviously nervous about something as she tried to clear her racing mind. Now wasn't the time or place to talk about the tattoos. 

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Choi made her escape into the kitchen to help Minho bring out plates. She didn't want to be apart of the awkward interaction between Hoya and Rosee. Plus, the thought of Hoya in the kitchen again gave her goosebumps. "Yuri, for the love of God go sit down. You look like you're going to drop any second." She smiled down at her and smoothed out her rapidly growing hair. "I think you'd look good with long hair. What do you think, Jin?" Choi smiled back at Jin as she continued to smooth over Yuri's dark brown locks. "Just a thought." With a happy smile she grabbed some cups and walked them out to the table.


She didn't want to look at Minho. She still felt bad that the stupid coupon book was all she could come up with. He had everything he could ever want though. "You're hard to buy for, y'know?" Choi practically pouted as she sat down the glasses, glancing up at him. "Like I thought Yuri was hard to shop for, but she's a piece of cake compared to you. My brother is usually a tough one too because he has everything he wants."

 

[ZombieBaee]

It may come as a surprise to everyone but Yubin LOVED Christmas. She was that psychopath that planned holiday parties and drove all around the city to attend multiple and wrapped gifts like an elf would. People, generally, were nice on Christmas so she never had to argue with anyone! It was nice! So Hoya being here was already putting her on edge, so much so that as she plopped back into her chair with her beer and plate of food, she cleared her throats and spoke up. "So tomorrow, we have a fun and relaxing time. Like the family we are. No fighting, no school and none of us are looking at results until it's announced at 10. No one. We will sit around and play games and eat food and do stupid  Christmas crap!" She said it like a dictator before taking a big bite of potatoes. 


Her eyes drifted over to Minho and Choi before moving over to Jin and Yuri, causing her to sigh again. "And all of you hiding your relationships in the room will not spend all day making googly eyes at each other and making me want to barf." Her eyes rolled a little before she went back to her food and grumbled. It was her first Christmas single and while she could understand them sneaking off for some alone time for an hour or two, they weren't going to break off into little groups and leave her and Hyunn with Rosee and Hoya. Oh helllll no. "And comfy clothes only. If any of you come downstairs dressed to the nines I'll punch you. Especially you Yuri. You need comfort."

Dinner had gone by pretty painlessly minus the awkward silence from Hoya and Rosee. So they went to bed at a pretty reasonable time and Yubin was awake at bright ass seven am, walking downstairs after yanking her silver hair into a messy bun and pulling on a black hoodie with a pink Y on it over her white tank top. Her bottoms were pink plaid shorts and she had on a pair of black fuzzy socks. 


Yubin wasnt the best cook, but she could handle eggs, toast and such pretty easily: at least without burning the house down. After making up a few plates she stared to yell, "Breakfast kids!"

Jin felt really bad for Rosee, the entire time at the table the poor girl looked ready to cry. But so did Hoya to be fair... and what was with all his new tattoos? That was just really strange. I mean who gets three tattoos at one time? Little did Jin know it was actually seven... but that's besides the point. There was also the awkward moment when Yubin called everyone out... were they really that transparent? And who else? Choi and Minho? Maybe... Jin just always thought that was two flirtatious people doing what they do best but maybe.. But Jin took Yubins words to heart, do not mess with that girl and her holidays. She was bound to be that crazy wife who planned her children's birthdays like it was the most amazing event to ever grace South Korea.

"That woman..." Jin groaned as he clutched his pillow to his ears. He knew what was coming, he warned the others. It was like a child on christmas morning waiting for santa! "Time to get up I guess..." Jin rubbed he sleep from his eyes and rolled out of his bed, pulling on a white t shirt and making his way downstairs in his black sweats. "Need help?" Jin opened he door to the kitchen and instantly started pulling down plates and silverware for Yubin. Helping her bring stuff to the table. "You do know you're insane right?" Jin turned and looked at the girl with a small smirk and a raised eyebrow. Whatever happened that night with G, was a good thing in the long run. Yubin was acting like she used to before Haenghada got to her.

Rosee had sat at the table, shaking and barely touching her food at all. She was a mixture of angry and upset that made her want to go hide in her room and avoid the situation, but that wasn't right either. Why should he get to run off and ruin everything and make HER a feel like the bad guy! No way! So once dinner was over, Rosee put on a smile helped clean the dishes and went to bed. But she didn't actually sleep all that much... she texted Jung until about three am. He opened his gift from her as soon as it turned midnight, a cell phone case and a fake ticket to her first concert in a group. To be redeemed later of course. 


So when a Yubin started yelling, Rosee was not a happy camper. Not as upset as last night but still. Not happy. "Yubinnnnn." She whined and pulled her blanket over her shoulders and literally fell out of the bed, crawling down the stairs and flopping into a chair with a grunt. "It's seven thirty!" Rosee looked like hell she was sure, crazy bun, huge sweater and hello kitty pajama pants with her large comforter around her shoulders. 


"Though I do like the food part. That's a welcome event."
