Soonyoung grinned. "That's wonderful. But why do you seem unhappy about it?"

Wonwoo shrugged. "I don't want to go."

Soonyoung's brows furrowed, and confusion started to visible on his face. "Why?"

"He'd introduce me? As what? His friend? And why would he need to introduce me? They knew me already. And he didn't even ask me how I would feel about it. I feel jittery and nervous. What if they would not like me? What if they want me to stay as Mingyu's friend only? They knew me as his friend and what if they think it's better that way? What if it's better with me being just his friend?" Wonwoo replied, and he really sounded so worried.

"That's absurd. His parents are nice, they'll like you," Soonyoung assured and smiled.

"We would never know, Soon," Wonwoo said, then he avoided Soonyoung's eyes, obviously avoiding the topic too. "Where's Jihoon?"

"Somewhere, again," Soonyoung said.

Wonwoo nodded. "Is he busy? Or is he doing something? Did the theater club cast him?"

"Theater club casted him?" Soonyoung asked in surprise.

Wonwoo shrugged. "I don't know, that's why I'm asking, Soon," he answered matter-of-factly, and he made it sound like Soonyoung was too dumb to even ask him that question.

"What made you think of that?"

"Mingyu told me he saw Jihoon entering the music room, and that room is only for theater club members, music periods, or unless they have asked permission from the staff in-charge," Wonwoo said, shrugging. "But I don't know, maybe he was asked to do something? I'm not sure, besides, I've never heard him sing or play."

Soonyoung nodded, then his lips were torn to a wide smile. So Jihoon has been sneaking so he could go to the music room.

"Okay, thank you, Wonwoo. But excuse me for a moment, I think I have to fetch him and talk to him," Soonyoung said then stood up.

"Sure. Get lost," Wonwoo said.

Soonyoung chuckled at his response, then he went out. He headed straight to the music room, and since it was still break time, he's pretty sure Jihoon's still inside if his guess is right that Jihoon goes here every time he sneaks away.

He waited there outside, until the bell rang, signifying the resumption of the classes. So he straighten his stance, his eyes fixated on the door.

Then the door was pulled open from the inside, and there Jihoon is, surprised and taken aback right before his eyes.

Soonyoung smiled. "There you are," he said playfully. "Had fun?"

Jihoon blinked. "How did you know I was here?"

"Mingyu saw you, Mingyu told Wonwoo, Wonwoo told me," Soonyoung answered briefly. "So you've been here every time?"

Jihoon nodded, his lips curved to a warm smile. "I was thinking I had to prepare a nice song for you. So I came here to practice."

Soonyoung smiled. "That's nice. I can't wait until I hear you sing."

"But Soonyoung, you gave me a month so you have you wait. Heal that bone and I'll sing you a song. That's the deal," Jihoon reminded him.
