whether it was the alcohol clouding his judgement, or his competitive spirit awakening every time he was around minjae, yikyung couldn't tell. not that the former really mattered, he doesn't need liquid courage to bend the rules anyway.

the moment those taunting words left minseong's mouth, the both of them stood up quicker than they could down a shot, fingers fumbling with the buttons and buckles holding back their modesty.

were they doing it for the money? sure, yikyung's dirt poor without his trust fund, but he almost always puts his pride first—it's what landed him in this predicament to begin with.

while he knows baring it all on campus grounds isn't the way to regaining access to his black card, it sure is a way to prove to minjae that he's the better man. maybe neither of them got the girl before, but at least one of them will get minseong's 200,000 ₩.

the pool might be minjae's home ground, but no one does a striptease better than yikyung. pulling off his trousers and briefs all at once, yikyung kicks off his sneakers and hurls himself into the pool, hollering right as he leaps off the pool deck, "suck it, jang minjae!"

for someone who has eyes all over the school and a pocket full of people’s secrets, seolran’s not big on blackmail. or perhaps it’s more correct to say she’s not big on blackmail, yet. she’s sure that some, like minjae, might have an issue with this claim given their current arrangement. however, seolran believes their agreement is best described as a fair trade or an arrangement that benefits both parties. every other thursday, she gets a partner to run her lines with, and Minjae’s embarrassing secret remains just that. an embarrassing secret that no one is aware of. (except seolran that is).

truthfully, it’s not that seolran needs to practice with a partner to memorize her lines. while it is nice to bounce off another’s energy, she is perfectly happy staring at herself in the mirror and repeating the lines until they’re ingrained into her brain. yet when minjae approached her after a night of drunkenly spilling too much, requesting that she keep his secret to herself, she could not resist and used it as an opportunity to obtain a practice scene partner. sure, he might not have any acting experience, but seolran is quickly finding that having a scene partner with a lovely face is both good motivation and a distraction.

today, seolran is determined to have at least two successful run-throughs off-book. but given how their usual practices end with seolran playfully rolling her eyes in exasperation or falling off her chair in a fit of giggles, she's not sure if that's possible. doesn't hurt to aim high though.
