"When is Wonho gonna get his butt over here..." Alex groaned lying on the ground back-up, bouncing the basketball in front of him.

"You better address Wonho hyung correctly when he gets here." Kaito said, his legs swaying back and forth as he sat on he bench.

"Sure, but he acts like he's twelve. He doesn't mind informality anyways. You're the only one who calls him Hyung, I don't know why..." Alex trailed off, making a little smirk that Kaito ignored.

"You call him hyung, right Hyunwoo?" Kaito asked the youngest of the four, hoping for some evidence against the lazy boy on the ground, now rolling onto his back.

"Yeah," Hyunwoo said lightly, sitting up a bit as two people appeared in the distance. "And it looks like he's here."

"Hey, Wonho!" Taeyang called, gesturing him and the person next to him over. "Glad you could make it."

"Thanks for the invite," Wonho replied, looking towards Alex and Kaito too. "I just finished up a photo shoot at the studio and you said there'd be an odd number of people so I brought a friend of mine."

There was an exchange of greeting, the black-haired boy next to Wonho making a little bow. "Nice to meet you all, my name is Lee Jaejoon."

Kaito was the first to overly friendly, holding out his hand and shaking Jaejoon's in his own hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm Kaito. You're a model like Wonho-hyung, right?"

Jaejoon let out a little laugh. "Yes I am, and an aspiring actor. I've heard a lot about you from this boy over here." he smiled, poking Wonho in the chest. Wonho let out an awkward embarrassed laugh.

After a bit of awkward silence, Taeyang began, "So what are we waiting for? Let's start the game!"

"That was awesome!" Kaito exclaimed, nearly idolizing Jaejoon's single shot. "How'd you even do that?"

Jaejoon made a humble laugh, holding his arms up to be passed the ball again. He returned to where he was, holding his throw position. "Something like... this." he said, tossing the ball once again. When it made it in the hoop without any problems, Alex grabbed the ball and tried shooting from the same position, determined to improve. Taeyang stood on the sidelines as he drank some water, Hyunwoo watching from afar.

"Kaito!" a voice shouted from a few feet away. Wonho was waving towards them, gesturing Kaito over. "Come over here for a second!"

"Wait! Let me just try shooting a basket!" Kaito called over, turning back towards Jaejoon and attempting one more time with the ball that Alex passed to him. It missed yet again, and the ball kept going around in between the three and their struggled attempts of scoring a point.

Hyunwoo glanced back at Wonho, who was simply standing and watching from afar, thinking to himself.

"What are you doing?" Kaito asked, leaning over to see Jaejoon's phone screen. Jaejoon replied with a simple "Scrolling."

Wonho let out a tired sigh as Kaito double tapping something on Jaejoon's phone.

"He's hot."

Jaejoon let out a genuine laugh. "Thanks."

Hyunwoo was about to close his eyes and let the warmth of the sun relax him, but Wonho suddenly began loudly, "Hey Kaito, you should show me that dance you were working on."

"Now...? But it's so hot..." Kaito groaned, turning back to the phone screen and adding, "Oh him too."

Wonho leaned back on the bench, seeming defeated. Hyunwoo picked up a bottle of water and handed it to the older. "Thirsty?"

"No." he answered defensively, rephrasing his answer after seeing Hyunwoo's confused expression. "I'm fine, but thank you."

"This entire profile is actual perfection, how do I meet a guy like that?" Kaito asked with a giggly smile, Jaejoon laughing too.

"You have."

The two shared a laugh, Wonho immediately standing up and walking over to join Taeyang and Alex in their 1v1 game. Hyunwoo took a moment to think whether to join them or not, looking towards the two other people on the bench.

"Kaito, are you going to like all of his photos?" Jaejoon asked, laughing a bit. At this point Kaito was in control of the older's phone.

"Only the attractive ones." Kaito answered casually, Jaejoon taking a moment to think as he watched the younger scroll down the page.

"You've liked all of them, Kaito."

"So?" Kaito asked, seeming to be caught up with his current task.

"On my account." Jaejoon added.

"So? Why aren't they already liked anyways, aren't you and Wonho hyung good friends?" Kaito asked, continuing to like the photos on the person's profile.

"Yeah, but I don't really go stalking through his profile to like photos from last year." Jaejoon laughed.

Hyunwoo glanced back towards the basketball players, Wonho mostly standing on the side and glancing at the bench every couple seconds. Hyunwoo glanced down at his side where Wonho's phone laid, the pitch black screen frozen. With a light click he turned it on, the muted notification of "@leejj1020 has liked your photo." silently sliding onto the lockscreen many times.

Hyunwoo couldn't help but smile, standing up and joining into the older's game.
