had minghao known he’d be paired up with a complete stranger, he would’ve thought twice about going to the masquerade. he had already been reluctant, but after making a promise to jungeun that he’d go, he supposed he had no choice. still, he thinks he definitely would have preferred going with jinyoung over a stranger, despite how torturous that would’ve been. well, maybe his date wasn’t a complete stranger - minghao knew about his existence and had seen him around the school, but the two of them had never exchanged a word, and were definitely strangers. 

when he arrived outside, he immediately started looking around for his date. it didn’t take long until he spotted him, standing rather awkwardly a bit away from the crowd. it gave minghao a sense of relief to see that his date seemed kind of awkward as well - at least they had that in common. “hi,” he greeted once he’d walked up to the boy. “you’re tian, right? i’m minghao.”

If there was a time when Yohan didn’t find this school unbearable, it was during swim practice and that was because he enjoyed being in the water.  Yes, he did skip sometimes because he was either too lazy or something else caught his attention but he tried his best to be there for most of them.  Now as practice ended and he made his way to the showers, he wanted nothing more than to find something fun to do because there was no way he was just going to do homework or study when he felt so energized.  Of course, he wasn’t going to go by himself and he had someone in mind to go with him as he finished showering.  

Tian wasn’t in his year but since he was also on the swimming team, they had exchanged greetings.  The other was so quiet that the third year had to be the one to initiate conversation but that day he had decided that it was time to get to know the player.  Once he was done getting dressed and with his bag strapped across his chest, he waited for the younger to finish getting ready to talk to him.  “You know Tian, I think we need to get to know each other more since we are on the same team.” He said as he gave the younger a bright smile and then wrapping his arm around the other shoulders, he added: “Let’s go to the arcade, yes?” He might be older but he tried to sway the other with puppy dog eyes as he tried to get him to agree.
