Realistic or Modern Haenghada High (CLOSED)

[ZombieBaee]

Yubin was so in shock that she didn't even see Choi storm in the house followed by a bumbling Minho, but when the girl came back outside and was yammering at Yubin she finally took notice, just in time to catch the bottle of clear liquid in her hands. "W-What?" She wasn't asking for clarification, it was more confusion that Choi was the one who was coming to comfort her. "Don't you hate me?" She chuckled, unable to help it. It was just ironic that Choi, Yuri's BEST FRIEND, was the person out here right now. "Thank you though." Yubin finally said as she tucked the bottle next to her and pulled up her phone screen again.


"At first I was like no way it could be Yuri! We're nothing alike so if Jin liked her, then how could he have liked me? But I guess if you cheat on someone you don't really like them right?" Yubin clicked delete on the photo and gave a heavy sigh, standing up and grabbing the bottle once more. "It just doesn't make sense to me. Yuri is so...." She paused to try to come up with a non-offensive description but damn it was hard, "Dum-Oblivious. Oblivious... And so damn sweet and honest she could probably make a damn newborn look like the devil himself. How could she be involved?" Yubin didn't really expect a response. It was more rhetorical than anything. 


"Let's go inside, I want shots but I need some lemon." Yubin gave Choi one quick rare smile before turning and walking into the house. Her eyes instantly landing on Jin. She wanted to throw the bottle at his stupid attractive head! And what about poor Hyunn?! He looked like someone just killed his dog. But she didn't stop, she walked right into the kitchen, grabbed out four shot glasses and made up lemon drops before returning to the room with the shots balanced between her fingers.


"Here." Yubin downright ignored any male in the room as she handed out the drinks, first to Rosee, Choi and ending on Yuri. As she held out the drink she looked down at the girl with a raised brow, "I get that I am scary mega bitch number one. But I don't have any problems with you. You're too nice and you need to toughen up which is irritating. But if we're going to work together to end those losers, I'm willing to get over that. And I'm sure vodka is probably harsh for you but you'll be fine. Lick the sugar first. Cheers girls." With that Yubin downed the shot and turned to Jin, "And you. Explain. Now. Because I don't believe that this little..." Non-offensive Yubin, "lady here would be a part of your bullshit. You explain, without lying to me or anyone is this damn room, and I'll try my hardest to be okay with you breathing around me."


-


Jin swallowed hard, moving to speak up just as Choi turned on her heel and slammed the front door behind her. Shit. Shit. Shit. "Minho you airhead..."


It was obvious that everyone, but Yuri, knew what was going on. Especially now. And that meant it was time to figure out how in the hell to try to explain this. Jin moved to stand but the moment he did, in came Yubin and Choi. And the room went silent. Jin waited for an attack but none came, the girl just walked calmly into the kitchen and returned with shots. One of which she thrust in Yuri's face making Jin shift uncomfortably. "Yubin go eas-" But Jin stopped himself, tuning into Yubin's words. That was the girl he was in love with at one point and looking between the two was confusing for about half a second. But as much as he remembered this strong but sensible and gentle version of Yubin, they had both changed too much. Not to mention he met Yuri...


"Okay." Jin started looking up at Yubin's fake blue eyes, something that made him cringe slightly, she didn't need all the gimmicks... "I didn't necessarily cheat in the traditional sense of the word. We met in that class and had to write the song and I don't know what...  Okay no thats a lie." Jin finally stood up and looked down at Yubin, "I did love you and then I didn't. I avoided you almost that entire half a year because I didn't see us romantically anymore. You were becoming this strong and kind of mean person that wasn't someone I enjoyed to be with. But I was a damn coward and I couldn't end it. Because I cared for you still and I didn't want to hurt you." Though he did anyways. "Yuri and I decided to continue the song and at that point I realized I uhm..." His face was bright red, his hands sweating as he shoved one through his dark hair. Explaining this to everyone was going to turn into a public confession real fast here..."My feelings were elsewhere. And not mutual. Not physical. Not anything but me. It was all me. But some idiot took that photo and when you confronted me with it. I panicked. I said yes to allow you to dump me. I thought it would hurt you less..."


His eyes drifted down to the ground, unable to really look at anyone. Hyunn? Hyunn should probably punch Jin in the teeth. Minho, Jin wanted to punch him in the teeth. Choi? No question there. Yubin? Duh. Hoya had just ridiculed everyone for the drama. Rosee obviously had an unreturned crush on Jin and Yuri... hopefully Yuri didn't hate Jin now.

 

[EclipseRosee]

Rosee took the shot, her face morphing into disgust at the taste of the straight vodka, ugh this girl! Rosee would stick to her mixed drinks and fruity shots. But that was besides the point. Jin and Yubin were having what seemed to be the final show down. And while Hoya may have been next to her complaining about how this was drama but Rosee? Rosee saw it as a kind of win for the group. Without all this hashing out, they would have lived her for who knows how long in an awkward tense house until someone finally blew. At least this was day one and hopefully it would settle down.... but they were also a bunch of teenagers in a house.


Also, let's put this in reverse, did Choi say that Yuri and Hyunn were never dating in the first place?! "I knew it!" The red head finally cheered before quickly covering her mouth and sinking into the couch like a ice cube on the sidewalk in summer. "Sorry..."  What a spaz...


And was Jin saying he liked Yuri? That kind of made Rosee's heart sink a little bit. Why did everyone like this boy?! Well that was an easy question to answer but more so; Why did EVERYONE like this boy! Next thing she knew Choi would be into Jin as well! Actually probably not... The point stands though. Rosee had a crush on Jin since their first year. Jin was sweet, popular, talented as hell and adorable, oh and taken. At that point Rosee really thought that it was just a crush on a cute boy but two years later... it was still there. Every time that they were hanging out with the same group. Or when he would wave hello to her in the hallway. It was torture. And now? How could Rosee compete with Yuri! 


Her own mind was depressing her and causing her eyes to start to sting a little. This boy barely even knew Rosee's name and here she was crying over him when he didn't even know she wanted to be in the running. How pathetic.

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

No! This wasn't supposed to be happening! Yuri made coffee! People were supposed to be happy! Why was Choi yelling?! Why did she keep bringing up Yuri and Jin? What happened? And now she was calling out Hyuun and hers relationship? This was all happening so so so fast and she just couldn't keep up. 


At least there wasn't yelling this time when Yubin and Choi came back. If doing the shot made Yubin feel slightly better then she would woman up and do it. "Thank you. I don't think you're scary by the way." Just slightly intimidating. She shone her a small smile before licking the sugar and tossing back the liquid. Immediately she started coughing and holding her throat. Nope. Not her cup of tea. Now what was happening? What did Jin need to explain and what was she apart of?


At this point Yuri had more questions than answers, even more so after Jin explained. Especially since that one shot was already making the small girl feel warm and fuzzy. Was her face red? Why was Jin's face red? Was he drinking too? Wait...was this all because of the song? Big tears welled in her eyes. She didn't mean to tear the family apart! And now what was worse, Jin had feelings for someone else.


"S-Screw this coffee nonsense." She found herself jumping to her feet and going to the kitchen. Quickly she grabbed a couple shot glasses and poured some random brown liquid into the glasses. What was this? Whiskey? Sounded great!


She found herself running back to the group and setting down the glasses. Yuri threw back the drink and slammed the glass down on the table. "Whoop!" Gross, super super gross. "Hyuun and I never were a thing Choi, I'm sorry I lied to you guys. He thought it would be better just to roll with the rumors. But I don't mind, it's fun hanging out with you guys!" Alcohol and Yuri was a bad combination, she got real honest with people. She reached up with a glass and placed it against Jin's lips. "Jin drink you'll feel better!" Already her eyes were glazing over, her cheeks a bright red. Yuri was the definition of a lightweight.

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Yubin was right, Choi did hate her, but not for the reasons she was thinking. Choi hated her because they were so much alike but Yubin was so talented. Choi wasn't the talented twin. And besides, how could she not comfort a heartbroken woman? Yuri wasn't hurt at all, she was fine. You actually have to spell this out to her, and she was sure no one wanted to open up that can of worms. 


Choi didn't respond for once. Nope, this time she just listened. That's what Yubin needed. When Yubin moved inside to pour the shots she followed quickly, downing the shot once all the girls had them. Immediately she looked to Hyuun then to Yuri. Yuri was a lightweight, that's why she got her the fruitier drinks. She had never gotten drunk before and Choi didn't want to see her drunk. 


"Hyuun, go get Yuri one of the fruity drinks will you?" But then Jin started in with his explaination and she felt her heart sink for her brother. She could tell her brother loved Yuri, or at least the idea of her. Yuri didn't feel the same way though, even Hyuun could tell that much. And Jin's explanation didn't make it any better. He was basically publicly announcing his feelings for her and here she was trying to pour shots down his throat. Probably because he didn't say "Yuri I have crazy feelings about you" or something along those lines. Poor Yuri probably thought Jin liked someone else...


Choi let out a long sigh and took two shots in her hands before walking over to Minho. "So. Next time a rumor comes out that involves my best friend, or that would effect her, or my brother, you're going to tell me right?" She reached out and handed him a shot glass. "If so we can I suppose I wouldn't mind hanging around you." Someone has to humble his ass.

 

[Sir Damien]

What was the appropriate response for this type of situation? Originally Hyuun didn't plan on getting involved with this whole Jin thing. He gave it a fleeting thought because he was Yuri's friend, but now? Now he was involved wholeheartedly. He loved Yuri. He wanted to protect her. Now here Jin was, standing in front of them, announcing his feelings for her? That she was the 'other girl'? Was he supposed to punch him or something? He wanted to with every fiber of his being. 


"Fruity drink...right..." Hyuuns towering figure stood up in time for Yuri to run in the room to serve the shots. Shots? Fine. The glass to Jin's lips? This needed to end. They needed to talk. Not now though, she was already drunk. With a long sigh he walked into the kitchen and combined a bunch of fruity alcohol together in two glasses before walking back to the living room.


"Yuri. Here." He handed her a drink and pat her on the top of the head with a small smile. Let her have fun for the night, they'd talk tomorrow. His eyes shot to Jin's for a brief moment, a small scowl on his lips. "We'll talk later." He then moved to Yubin's side and handed her the second drink. "Here. I'm sorry." Hyuun had no real reason to be sorry yet here he was apologizing. They were in the same boat here, they might as well drink together.

 

[Colt Voltage]

This group was a shit storm and Hoya didn't even have to do anything to add fuel to the fire. It was day one. Day. One. They still had the rest of the year to live like this. Jin and Hyuun in love with Yuri, Yuri too oblivious to acknowledge her own feelings for Jin, Minho in love with himself, and Yubin and Rosee in love with Jin. What was so great about that fucker anyway? He was nice, yeah, but nice guys weren't that fun. Rosee deserved someone fun. He wanted better for her.


Looking down at Rose he gave her his best attempt at a reassuring smile. "Hey. What do you want to drink? I'll go get you something. Drinking helps everything. And uh, ranting. I'm a pretty good listener, y'know?"

 

[ZombieBaee]

They had all been drinking for a while now, it was nearly nine at night at this point. The living room was trashed. The kitchen was covered in spills and snack food and everyone was a mess. But it at least seems like everyone was getting along. Hell, even Yubin was actually enjoying herself. Her sick sense of humor was in constant laughter inside every time he caught Jin's longing glances at Yuri. It was screwed up but it was still hilarious! 


"You know what?" Yubin chuckled, her body sunk into the couch next to Hyunn drinking probably the fourth rendition of the first drink he handed her, "This is about to be a total shit show." It wasn't even that funny but suddenly Yubin found herself rolling. Letting go of her personal image and allowing her disgusting real laugh to come out. Wheezing, snorting, doubled over and unable to get a hold of herself. "We-We-We oh my god, what was the school thinking?!" Yubin couldn't get a hang on herself as she rolled side to side on the couch, somehow managing to not spill her drink. 


Finally her body calmed itself and she took in a long deep breath, her hand moving to hold her stomach as she let go a few last giggles. Drunk Yubin was not concerned at all with keeping up her cool girl image. Not one single bit. "Oo!" Yubin slid down off the couch and forced Hyunn to hold her drink before reaching over to where all the Wii controllers had gotten put down earlier. Then she moved to sloppily put a Just Dance disc into the console before jumping to her feet and holding up another controller, "Alright who wants to dance with the joke of the relationship world? I win, you have to figure out a way to drag me up all those damn stairs, I lose then you have to watch me try to drag myself up those damn stairs." 

 

[ZombieBaee]

Jin was attempting to stay as sober as possible but with Yuri constantly putting the shot glasses up to his lips, he had to start drinking to avoid having a shirt full of whisky. And for such a smile and usually mild girl, drunk Yuri was a whole different force. Not to mention the looks of death from Choi every so often that practically screamed: you better not hurt her. So Jin complied. And drank. And drank some more. And at this point, the boy was laying on his back on the floor with his legs under the coffee table and his head resting on what felt like a shoe? Jin wasn't much of a drinker so at this point the boy was gone.


"Oh shit the stairs." Jin said suddenly when he heard Yubin speak up about them. He was so used to the dorms that he completely forgot that in order to get into his own bed he would have had to go up two flights of stairs. "I'm sleeping in the kitchen."  Plus the idea of sleeping in the same room as Hyunn tonight was slightly terrifying. Jin had no clue why he didn't have a black eye or a fat lip because even with Jin being the non-confrontational person he was, if he was in Hyunn's shoes? He would have beat the shit out of the guy... no matter how hypocritical that sounded.


As he laid there Jin heard the notification for an email go off from his phone in his pocket. After a small struggle he pulled the small device out and peered at the screen, a little email notification from the school appearing before him. Jin opened the email and took his sweet time reading through the small and blurry lettering before he let out a long low groan. "I thought we set our own practice times this year... I'm really sleeping in the kitchen because it will take me until six in the morning to get up those stairs." 


Jin rolled over and jumped up onto the couch, looking over at Yuri who was a completely different person after her few drinks. Then he turned to Choi with a raised brow, speaking quietly, "I think we need to stop her from any more..." Jin didn't want to be that guy who suddenly tried to be Hyunn but he felt the need to say something... he thought Yuri was being adorable in her own way but she would regret all of this in the morning.

 

[EclipseRosee]

"Hoya...." Rosee dragged out the word as she clung to the boys shoulder, still on the couch where they were hours ago. Occasionally Hoya had gotten up to get the two of them drinks but Rosee? Rosee didn't move an inch. Hoya had been right, he was a very good listener and Rosee was taking advantage of that. Well as much as she could. The drinking may have made her more of a chatterbox than usual, but it didn't make her a blabber -mouth like Minho. "I don't know why people think you're scary! You're such a nice boy. You're like the best friend I needed a long time ago." The end of each of her sentences were dragged out as she wrapped her arms dramatically around Hoya and let her head rest against his shoulder.


"You need to be more sincere with all those girls that like you though. A lot of them cry. And then boys hate you. OH! That's why people don't like you! Well thats just rude of them." At this point she was just rambling as she shifted around on the couch. "Oo! Dancing!" Rosee went to jump up at Yubin's invitation but her legs didn't work very well and she just ended up falling back into the couch and Hoya once more. "Shoot!" Rosee pouted, tossing her head back dramatically and letting out a heavy sigh. "Just kidding! I'll never dance again!" She moaned and sat up once more, her eyes falling on Jin as he spoke out about the email.


"He's not even that cool." Rosee suddenly blurted as her eyes narrowed at the male on the floor. "He's that guy that thinks he's lonely and tortured because the music he plays on his stupid acoustic guitar sounds better if it sounds sad and lonely. Over it. " Maybe she was being a teensy bit loud at this point but oh well. 

 

[KAYDEN]

Minho has stepped out onto the front porch at some point to have a cigarette, shockingly drinking wasn't really his thing. Being a man who already has such a public eye on him, he isn't really willing to risk his image on a few drinks. Plus someone had to stay responsible so that if anything really happened then at least he was able to help. When people weren't looking, Minho was actually pretty laid back. But in front of others? He had an image to uphold. It wasn't like that part of him was fake, he was that guy, but it got tiring. It was tiring to never sit down. 


After a few drags, Minho sat down on the front porch swing, he could see into the window and make sure no one was killing each other while still staying outside in the fresh air. 


"Ah..." Minho sighed as he pulled out his phone after the long day. 78 notifications. Emails, calls, texts, evites, everything. Nearly all from girls at the school. Most of them asking for the opportunity to confess. Something Minho always dodged. Why? He didn't want to hurt anyone, ever. But also because girls were crazy! Like the shit Yubin and Choi have said? Sometimes even Rosee! Minho NEVER wanted to actually deal with something like that. No, Minho would be without a real relationship until after school and maybe after the first few years of his debut. Relationships and him just would never work. Plus teachers and other performers have always told him that a girlfriend would ruin his fan base. Jealousy is a bitch right?

 

[Colt Voltage]

Hoya couldn't help but smirk down at Rosee. Sure they had had a couple drinks, but already she was drunk. Granted he was like twice her size so he automatically had a higher tolerance, but it was still comical to him to see the usually composed girl lose it like this. Now she was a chatterbox and he loved it. It wasn't often people talked to Hoya, it was mainly Rosee. Not that he minded. After all, why bother trying to impress people? If they liked him then they'd like him. Not for his money, not for his skill. Though, it was those two things that usually got people to pine after his attention. Not that he gave them the time of day. "Babes, you're drunk." The moment her arms wrapped around him he felt his cheeks heat slightly, his large hand awkwardly patting her back. Physical attention wasn't something he did. Not with girls like Rosee at least. She was too good for him, too sweet and too honest. He usually went with the more floozy women. 


"They don't like me because I'm in..." Nope, never mind. How could he say that he was involved in the Jopok? That the mafia was his family, that hustling and scams and intimidation tactics were a big part of his life before dance. "You're right. More honest. I'll try." He smiled down at her only to widen his eyes as she went to stand up. "S-Shit!" He reached out his strong arms in time to catch her. He held her against his muscular chest and sighed, stroking her hair as he listened to her about Jin. She really did like that guy, didn't he? What was so special about him?


"You know how long a cute face lasts? They fade real quick, honey. Plus if his personality is as bland as it seems then it's definitely not worth getting upset over. You're bright, fun, cheerful, and have more talent in your thumb than that guy has in his whole body." He was whispering the words to her to. He didn't completely believe that Jin was bland, but if it made her feel better? He'd say it a million times over. 

 

[Sir Damien]

The alcohol coursing through Hyuun's veins was either a good thing or a bad thing. Good news he felt a lot more relaxed. Bad news? Every time he looked at Jin he just wanted to punch him in the face. Looking at Yuri was almost painful at this point. Choi? She called him out and embarrassed not only him, but Yuri all in one blow. Minho was a secretive little asshole. Rosee was too depressed. The only one he could tolerate was Yubin to his surprise. So when she sat down with yet another drink next to him he couldn't help but laugh quietly. "Good drink, huh? My own invention." He listened to her talk and laugh and he felt an honest smile form on his face. Her guard was down and he wasn't about to call her out on it. It was refreshing. "This was a shit storm from the minute we walked into that room together. You realize that, right?" 


Before he could get another word in edge wise she was sliding off the couch and forcing him to hold her drink with another chuckle. "Yubin." He stood up and walked over to her, setting her drink down on the table. "If you're a joke than so am I. I'll play. I think I'm the only one sober enough besides Hoya to, and he's got his own mess on his hands." He took a controller from her and looked down at her with one of his heartbreaking smiles. "Win or lose though I'm escorting you to your room. You're way to trashed to do much of anything at this point." He thought to compliment her laugh or something, but for why he didn't know. So instead he just bit his tongue. "Ladies choice, though I'm not much of a dancer." 

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Choi had spent most of the night remaining sober so she could watch Jin and make sure he didn't make any moves on Yuri. Why was she so protective over her? Maybe it was because she was like the little sister she had never gotten but always wanted. Cute, and ditzy. She swirled the wine cooler around the bottle and took a small sip when Yuri walked out of the room and Jin pitched the sleeping arrangements. "I can help you kids up the stairs. I'll make Minho help. Hyuun would probably drop you..." The last sentence was a whisper to Jin, though she was sure Hyuun was too distracted to even hear her little jab. "And oh no, honey. You want Yuri? You have to deal with her. The good, the bad, and the hungover." She shot him a quick wink before standing and going outside to the porch for some fresh air.


"Oh." Her long lashes bat innocently when she noticed Minho sitting on the porch smoking and scrolling through his phone. She gave a small sigh and sat next to him, snatching the cigarette out of his hand and taking a long drag on it. "You know these things will kill you, right?" A small smirk formed on her lips, her chocolate brown hair resting on his shoulder as she looked up at him. "What would your girlfriends think if I let you ruin your pretty perfect lungs like this?" After another hit she placed it between his lips, her deep brown eyes looking towards his phone. "What's the matter? Girlfriend troubles?" Choi honestly never thought that Minho had a quieter side. If he was around them more maybe he'd be more tolerable... 

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Yuri was a lightweight who drank thought she was a heavyweight. And why not? Her dad was an alcoholic. So when she drank she drank too much. So when she came skipping back into the room she plopped down next to Jin on the floor and started to drink her eighth fruity drink. "Jin are you tired already?" She couldn't help but giggle quietly and let her glazed over brown eyes drift up to see Hyuun and Yubin. All night long Hyuun wouldn't look at her and it kind of hurt her. He was always against Yubin, and now he was all over her doting on her like he did to Yuri? It kind of hurt, but at the same time Yuri wanted Hyuun happy. 


Maybe she should break off their relationship. Yeah, that seemed like the logical thing to do in this situation.


"Hyuuun-chan." Yuri sat down her drink and stumbled back to her feet. Definitely intoxicated. "I-I want you to be free to date and not be tied down by our fake relationship, okay?" Yuri's bright smile lit up the room. She was doing a good thing, right? "I want you happy, okay? And you, Choi and I can still hang out like always. But...you deserve someone that you love." With that said Yuri stumbled back towards Jin and sat next to him. "You, too. Be happy with that girl you like. All of you be happy. You guys are great people, even Hoya!" 

 

[EclipseRosee]

Rosee felt a twang of something in her chest, something that made her curse herself internally. So drunk. So out of control. So humiliating. 


"H-Hoya." She pulled back from him a little, looking up at him with wide brown eyes, her eyes searching over his face for a moment. More girls should like him. He was cute, no matter what he said about cute faces fading. And despite his scary persona, he was sweet. Hoya had turned Rosee's night around from feeling down on herself to actually feeling pretty okay. 


Her ear was growing warm from his breath as he whispered to her, her face gaining the same heat quickly after. Hoya was so close to her face and it was making her turn red. "Y-You're right. Not worth it." Rosee pulled back more and looked over at him with a small grin. "Thank you again. Thank you a lot actually. And thank you for paying earlier as well." That really turned her red. Rosee was embarrassed as hell about her family finances, Hoya was the only one at school that knew about it because they were working in a class together during one of her total breakdowns but besides that? No one. And he didn't out her earlier, that meant a lot. 


"We should probably sleep. It's already midnight."

 

[ZombieBaee]

The blonde girl was scrolling through the options on the screen before finally just clicking random and landing on a Shinee song. "Jokes are at least entertaining right?" Yubin gave him a slight smile before moving in an attempt to keep up with the dance on the screen. Thankfully the damn game wasn't that accurate with the movements so it wasn't that terrible. "Aish, I would rather play with you than Hoya anyways. This way I at least have a small chance at winning!"


As the game went on, Yubin tuned in to the conversations behind her. Oh poor Yuri... It actually made her stumble a bit before recovering and looking sideways at Hyunn, "She's always that out of it isn't she?" She kept her voice low and looked back at the screen as the game finished. Hyunn won by a tiny margin. Tiny. "You actually liked her didn't you... Well I'm sorry that didn't really work." Yubin tossed the controller onto the couch and ran her hands through her hair with a heavy sigh. This house was a complete and total mess. Not just in the literal sense either. 


Yubin glanced behind her quickly, Jin and Yuri were on the couch and she rolled her eyes before grabbing Hyunn's sleeve. "I think I'll head up first and I'm cashing in on that escort." After the dancing her feet were a lot more solid under her but this was for something different. This was to not be in front of the loveless and the clueless. And once they were about half way up the stairs Yubin began to whisper. "I don't see why you like her personally. But I can understand how it sucks, even if you guys were never dating. Which is a whole other level of shocking but that doesn't matter." At the top of the stairs, Yubin turned around and let go of Hyunn's sleeve, looking down at him as he stood a few steps down still. "But if a guy like Jin is someone she wants to hang around, then you guys never would have worked. You actually have a personality. You don't whine and bitch and moan about your sad life to make everyone think you're this amazing artist. You work your ass off dude! I know, because I have to damn near kill myself to try to keep up with you." 


"So." Yubin winked at him before turning and looking back over her shoulder, "It will hurt but a good night sleep helps a whole lot."  She gave him a small wave before heading into the bedroom and literally falling face first into her bed. It had been a very long day and now she needed to be awake, ready and at the school in five hours.

 

[ZombieBaee]

Choi was right; if Jin wanted to be with Yuri he had to do everything Hyunn did and more. Sure, Choi let it slip that the relationship was fake but that didn't mean that all of the things Hyunn did for Yuri never happened. Yuri was... delicate. And while Jin was sure she could survive on her own, he wanted to take care of her. No matter if he wasn't in the best shape to do so. And no matter how much of a handful it would be.


When Yuri stood to talk to Hyunn, Jin moved to catch her if she dropped backward but also to grab her drink from the coffee table and pour it into the potted plant... he would replace it later. "Yuri-careful!" He exclaimed when she damn near threw herself back into the couch. This girl was going to be in pain come the morning. "Ah-Yuri." Jin's face went hotter than it already was from the alcohol. One part of him was slightly relived that she didn't catch onto the fact that the girl was her, another part of him wished that since apparently everyone else had caught on that she would too. Jin kind of thought that if Yuri liked him as well she wouldn't be so easily wishing him luck with his relationship though...


"Sure, thank you. I-I hope you are happy too Yuri. Sincerely. I hope you find a boy who you love and who loves you back more than you could ever imagine..." Jin trailed off, realizing he was getting a little too deep for the situation. And when Yubin and Hyunn went upstairs, he couldn't help but follow them with his eyes. What were they friends now? Bonding over their hatred of Jin. Whatever. As long as he didn't think he could confuse her just because they are both hurt right now.


"Anyways how about we go upstairs. We have to be awake soon." Jin stood up from the couch and held out both of his arms to help Yuri up.

 

[KAYDEN]

When Choi took the cigarette from Minho's mouth he went to protest but when his eyes fell on her she was placing the very thing between her own lips and taking a slow drag, "Kill me? Oh please." A small chuckle escaped his lips at her next question. "Girlfriends? Like plural? That's rich." Minho puffed the cigarette once more after it was returned to him before putting it out on the porch and dropping the end in his pocket. "Earlier you call me a blabbermouth and now you're fishing for gossip huh?"


Minho tapped at the screen and turned it towards her a little bit, pointing at the number of unopened messages. "All from strangers. Well I mean I know their faces when I see them at school... But they tell me all these deep personal feelings and that is where they sit. I never open them." It felt to terrible to open them all because he would never return their feelings. And none of these girls got mad at him for it, they were all so understanding and just happy to be talked to. No one deserved to feel like that. They shouldn't see him as this perfect boy who is unattainable but at least they tried! It just wasn't right. "They don't even actually like me anyways. Plus I have a few advertising contracts and what not that say I can't have a girlfriend anyways. So oh well." Minho being single was part of his charm, take that away and it would more than likely piss off some fans.


"I could say the same thing about your boyfriends too little miss congeniality..." Minho stopped to chuckle for a moment before standing up from the bench and holding out his hand to Choi. "Ever think that in that house behind us there are some personalities much better fit for our jobs, but the difference is we can handle the limelight. How about we go in, it's getting late."

The next morning Yuri was a mess. She didn't have a migraine yet, but her headache was pretty damn close. So before they headed out for practice she popped a couple of ibuprofin. She dressed down today too, well at least down for her. Bright lime green skirt, pink pumps, matching fuschia short sleeved top with a lime green necklace, and a small lime green purse with pink elephants that wrapped around her chest and rested on her hip. Her short brown hair was tossed in a messy bun and her makeup was done to the bare minimum, a quick swipe of pink gloss and a quick wing. Even though she was tossed together so quickly she still looked cute.


As she walked into the practice room with everyone she groaned quietly and took a seat on one of the fold down chairs. What all happened last night? She got drunk obviously. She broke up with Hyuun, something she'd have to apologize for later, and something with Jin? Crap...did she wish him good luck with his next relationship?! Seriously?! 'hey I like you, so I'm going to confess by telling you good luck with your next girlfriend!' Who let her drink?! It always started with that shot. No more. How could she even face Jin or Hyuun after last night? The thought turned her stomach.


Her smooth pale leg crossed over the other as she sipped on her usual breakfast smoothie. It was good for her throat and had enough protein to sustain her through the day. Well, at least practice. She'd make another one later.

 

[Pax Pardus Hale]

Who would have thought that Minho could have been such a thoughtful person. Honestly she looked at him as Yuri 2.0, but he was actually pretty deep. The thought made her smile slightly to herself as she thought about it through the night. He was right. The face of the group typically wasn't allowed to date anyone due to the major fact of pissing off the majority of their fan base. It wasn't fair, they had to be single and miserable just for the sake of their fans feelings. 


The next morning she couldn't help but laugh at Yuri. She didn't say a single word to anyone, she just merely sat in her chair and drank her smoothie. "Yuri, did we learn our lesson this time?" She heard what happened with Hyuun and Yuri and felt bad. Sure they weren't dating, but she was sure it would drive a wedge between the two. Especially if Jin was serious about Yuri and pursued her, Hyuun would end up punching him or something despite being non violent. While Yuri could afford to look a hot mess (even if she didn't) Choi couldn't. She always had to look nice despite how awful she felt. Thankfully she didn't drink too much.


Choi was looking extra cute today for some reason. Her long wavy hair was clipped together with a pink bow so it all fell perfectly over her shoulder. It matched the short dress that hugged her perfectly. The top of the dress was white with pale blue stripes with half sleeves, the waist had a pink bow, and the bottom pink portion swayed with every movement she made. Gray gladiator shoes tapped against the floor as she walked to the mirror to check out her perfect wing, false lashes, and pink lipstick. Damn she looked good.

Hyuun was crushed. Sure their initial relationship was based off of a lie, but it kept going because of how his feelings for Yuri grew. He realized it was the final year of their initial agreement, but they couldn't just go on and get married or something? His heart sunk in his chest as Yubin tried to console him. It worked somewhat, but Yubin also didn't know the side of Yuri him and Choi knew. She would do anything to make anyone happy, case and point their relationship. She killed herself working all the time to help pay her mothers medical bills, just to watch her father drink away the little money he made. Despite all that she managed to smile and cheer people up. So what if she was a little ditzy? What guy didn't like having to protect a cute girl? Despite all that and all of the emotions running through his drunken body he managed to crack a smile at what Yubin was saying. "Thanks..." he managed to mutter out. "Sleep well."

The next morning Hyuun didn't feel like facing anyone. He knew today would be the day he punched Jin. Not just for taking Yuri, but for what he did to Yubin. Sure he apologized, but he still deserved it for breaking her heart. She wasn't a bad person, she just got lost in the limelight and popularity. It happened to everyone. 


Hyuun got up early and headed out even earlier, he didn't feel like seeing anyone. Before he left he put a glass of water and a couple pills on Yubin's night stand, fully aware he wasn't allowed on the floor. He just wanted to make sure she would feel okay for practice tomorrow. Nothing was worse than rapping with a migraine. He shot a look over at his sister before heading out. Choi was included in the list of people he wanted to see, right next to Jin. This was her fault for calling them out. She was his older sister, she was supposed to look out for him right? That wasn't the case here. Personality of the group? My ass. 


By the time people started to come into the room Hyuun was laying on the floor playing his phone. His green eyes landed on the always beautiful Yuri and felt his stomach twist. She was hungover, he could tell. But what could he say to her? When she was like this she didn't like talking. His eyes looked to the door to see Choi following close behind Yuri. Not who he was looking for either. He was hoping Yubin felt okay.

Hoya couldn't sleep so he spent most of the night on his phone on the porch. Blame the booze or the fact that he wanted Rosee to have a good time this year, either way Hoya did something he knew he shouldn't have. After he walked Rosee to bed Hoya contacted a few of his friends and had them use his money to pay Rosee's bills off for the next year. Hoya didn't think much of it, but he didn't want it coming back to him so he had them pay it off anonymously. She wouldn't know right? Hopefully not. It wasn't even that big of an issue. Hoya himself was rich from all the hustles and scams he did on his free time, plus all the dance gigs. He didn't even have to touch the money his dad put in an account for him. 


In the morning Hoya made some coffee, grabbed some tylenol, and a bottle of water and sat them near Rosee's thing before taking off. No way he was going to be late today.


Once inside the practice room he crashed down on a chair. He was in his usual attire today, black skinny jeans, black combat boots, a tight black tee shirt that showed off his muscles, and his favorite leather jacket with spikes on the collar. His knuckles had big bulky metal rings on it. His hair was perfectly styled into the slight fauxhawk he had going on. "You look rough over there Yuri-baby."

When Yubin woke up the next morning she felt pretty close to okay, sure she was drunk last night but the dancing helped work some off plus it wasn't like she was new to drinking. Annnd someone left her water and medicine on the table near her bed, that helped the most. Actually they were the only reason she was moving. Though she wasn't very sure how they got there and in hindsight she probably should have been a little more careful about taking pills that appeared out of nowhere. But too late. At this point she was finishing getting ready and making her way over to the practice room, a drawstring backpack in one and a granola bar in the other.


This morning she didn't bother to do much with herself besides shower and get dressed. Yubin was wearing a cropped off black crew neck t-shirt and a pair of tight teal athletic leggings with black stripes down the side. On her feet was a pair of silver wedged sneakers that gave her about two inches of height. Her makeup? Mascara, chapstick and as always her blue contacts. Her hair was tossed into a bun. No need to get all cute when they were going to sweat their asses off today.


But the instant Yubin stepped into the practice room she nearly slapped her own forehead from the want to face palm. What in the hell was Yuri thinking....Yubin herself was a rapper yes but her next best skill was dancing and even she wore comfortable clothes. Yeah, they had to learn to dance in their stage type clothing eventually but practice one! Plus Yuri's skills in order were probably singing, personality, cooking, cleaning, loving animals, having a real relationship and then finally dancing. "Yuri, how are you feeling because you must feel awful considering you thought it was a good idea to try to dance on those." Yubin was back to her snarky self after last night but she only meant her comment in good faith. She pointed a finger at the pink pumps as she sat down on the floor and munched at her granola.


Speaking of giving people shit... "Hy-" Yubin stopped as she noticed Hyunn's stare and she broke off a piece of her granola bar and flicked it at his head before mouthing at him to stop torturing himself. "Also uh did you..." Yubin acted out the action of taking the pills and then raised a brow at him. She didn't want anyone else overhearing that she was having a rough start this morning...


Kyo ran into the practice room like a bat out of hell, her hair tossed into a disheveled pony tail and her outfit a simple hoodie and ripped up jeans. This semester was only into day two and she was already in her own personal little hell. Four groups. FOUR. THEY GAVE HER FOUR. Two of which were the BEST in the class! The principle tried to sweet talk her with the fact that the other two groups were made up of the riff raff but it didn't make anything any easier. If anything it was making her job so much harder. Kyo wasn't the type of person to just give up so all she did all last night was try to teach three girls how to do a simple body roll! Even she could do it!


"Okay listen I don't have time. I am your manager yes? Not your teacher. But I'm not leaving my two prize ponies on the back burner oh no no. Kyo called in some favors." The woman was completely off her rocker as she tapped constantly at the tablet in her hands. Still trying to call in favors. For the other group... for someone to give them a chance at publicity. "Anyways." She shut off the tablet for a few minutes and tucked it under her arm as she looked over the eight students. "I've found you each a mentor of sorts, you guys can figure out how you want this to work. There's two. Share, pick one, whatever. I am still in charge of your performances, appearances, so on. You're both going on to perform at the freshman showcase this Friday, kind of like examples for them. So take it seriously. Besides that I'll email you when something is coming up.... If your guests aren't here in ten minutes call." 


With that Kyo waved at the group and speed-walked out of the room as she picked up the phone.

Fei ran a finger along the front sign of the school as she walked through the front doors, earning a few stares, a few squeals and a few kids that giggled so much that Fei thought they were surely going to drop from lack of oxygen. The tall 5'9 woman stood on a pair of strappy white heels that only made her more intimidatingly tall. Her pink hair was faded to a pastel and in a pony tail while her bangs hung over her forehead where they met her perfectly applied eyeliner and mascara. Her lips were covered in a matte nude lipstick that matched her khaki shorts. On top was a loose white blouse. 


"Oh Kyo!" Fei cheered and waved at the scary looking woman as she ran past simply waving her hand. Must be busy. Fei shrugged and continued down the hallway until she ended up outside the doors to the main practice room. Why was she so nervous? She was here to be the teacher, not the teached... Well actually, there was the sinking suspicion that Rosee would be behind those doors. More than positive actually, why wouldn't she be? Fei didn't want to deal with that. But too late now and anyways its not like Rosee knows the truth.


Fei tossed open the door and strolled in, trying to feign confidence but the moment she saw those eight kids sitting in those chairs? She was them all over again. Especially when her eyes fell on Rosee. Her lips turned into a forced smile as she looked at the red head, "Rosee! I didn't know if you would be here or not. I'm happy we can work together again! Now... where is that stupid boy."

Jin wanted death and he wanted it to come for him quickly; was that what everyone meant when they said he was always depressing and melodramatic? Okay, maybe he could kind of see their point now. But his head felt like it was in a vice and light was more painful than a punch. Was this the universe giving him that punch he should have gotten last night? Or was that just him being overly sensitive again... 


Once Jin summed up the power to roll out of bed and made his way to the bathroom to finish getting ready. Shower. Aspirin. Black track pants. White tee shirt. Tennis shoes. Done. Sometimes he felt bad for how easy it was to get ready, especially after seeing what all of the girls go through just to walk across the street for school. Before he walked out the door he grabbed eight water bottles from the fridge and tossed them in his backpack, slinging it over his shoulder and walking out the door. 


"Good morning." Jin walked into the room and gave a slight bow before tossing his bag in the corner and taking a seat in the crap attempt at a circle. "I brought waters in case anyone wanted or forgot one." He was trying so hard to get on everyone's good graces again. Actually he would even take, how'd Yubin put it, "tolerating" him. Especially when Jin and Hyunn had to figure out how to work together well enough to be successful. 


It wasn't long before Kyo entered, all sorts of flustered and messy. In Jin's past three years here there wasn't a day he ever saw that woman with a hair out of place and suddenly she looked like this? Aish, those other groups must be rough. And what did she say about friday!? "Oi! Kyo, did you say this friday?" But she was far gone by the time Jin was even able to get the sentence out. It was tuesday. That was four days! Only three to practice something. Was she insane!? 


A few moments passed and the door opened again and Jin instantly recognized Fei. She left the school two years ago but when she was here... Jin was in awe of her. Not like a crush or anything but talent wise? The girl had a gorgeous voice. Though now that he heard Yuri, he wasn't too impressed...which might have been bias.

Minho woke up a lot sooner than the others and made his way to the kitchen after getting ready for the day. It would be easier to start cleaning up now rather than when they were all beat after today. By the time he heard the others start heading out the door the kitchen was at least mostly clean and he even had time to scarf down an egg and a cup of coffee. The door opened and shut yet again and Minho finally decided it was time to head out. He grabbed his maroon hoodie from the back of the couch and pulled it over the tight white tanktop. The hoodie was so large that it slightly overhung his gray joggers. 


When Minho walked in he was still one of the last to show up despite being one of the first to wake up. It didn't help that he stopped and drooled when he saw Choi. All of the girls looked good, especially considering the night before but Choi? It made his chest hurt. "Choi you're killing me slowly." Minho gave the girl a cocky head nod and a wink before smiling honestly at her and taking his seat. Last night was a fantasy, being able to just be calm and upfront. But today he was back in the real world and the real world required the exaggerated version of himself. 


"And Yuri, you're here so you're doing better than I thought you would! Props to you little lady." Minho gave her a goofy thumbs up as Kyo stormed into the room like a tornado of crazy. She talked. She complained. She left as quick as she came. "Yeah, Jin my friend I do believe that she said friday. As in three days from now. Ouch." Minho shoved a hand through his hair and leaned back in the chair as they waited for whoever Kyo referred to. 


It didn't take long for the first person to show up, Fei. Minho honestly didn't know much about the girl besides her story of being signed before graduating, but he'd never listened to her music or cared to ask any other questions about it. However when Fei began to fawn over Rosee, that brought up a few questions. But the first stupid thing that came out of her mouth was, "You guys are friends?! Isn't that an unfair advantage?"
