After classes, Jaemin met up with Jisung to start their challenge. In retrospect, Jaemin could've just as easily waited in the sitting room until Jisung arrived, but he basically lives and breathes crush culture, so where's the fun in that?
The two boys walked up the stairwell to their floor. Jaemin, on instinct, turn to keep walking further down the hall to his own room, until Jisung tapped on his shoulder.
"Wrong way, my dorm's right here." Jaemin's ears flushed red from embarrassment. Jisung chuckled, pushing open the door.
"Hey, Jaemin! We were just playing a game of DnD, wanna join?" Chenle spoke, waving a surprisingly large adventure book around. Next to him, sat his character sheet. Jaemin decided to opt out of that round, having left his own sheet at home.
Jisung led Jaemin over to his corner, where the entire wall was covered in Harry Potter posters, stickers, and fanart. On his beside shelf sat a total of seventeen books, all for the same series.
On his dresser, sat various POP! Vinyls of Harry Potter characters, including a house pin set that sat in a polished wooden Case in the very center of it. Jaemin would be lying if he said he wasn't impressed.
"You win, what is it that you want me to bake?" Jaemin surrendered. Jisung grinned, thinking for a moment. "I'm in the mood for *Pumpkin mochi."
"Honestly speaking: when aren't you in the mood for those things?" Jisung shrugged "fair enough, but I'm really in the mood for pumpkin mochi buns."
Jaemin made a small mental note for later. Jisung pulled out the parcel from his part of the fridge.
"Want some? My secret buddy always makes me sweets. I usually always have leftovers." He asks, bringing up the buddy system. "You never share with us, Sungie!" Chenle added whinily.
Jisung rolled his eyes, "It's because you're a sugar fiend. As much as I care for you, it's not happening."
Jaemin took a moment to look at Jisung's wall. There was a free space that indicated a poster may have fallen off or something had been removed. Jaemin didn't think much of it. On a poster board above Jisung's work desk sat all of the rainbow notes Jaemin had left, including the plain one. In a jar beside it, rested a jar of paper stars.
"Jisung only ever makes stars when he's annoyed or stressed, needless to say, he gets annoyed fairly often here." Jungwoo explains, grabbing a star.
"One day, I'm gonna open them all, just to irritate him."
(Once again, foreshadowing for a different book)
Jisung soon returned with the warmed platter of plum tart, slicing it in half. The older of the two took note of some of the things Jisung had said during their conversation to use as hints on how to help him.

Later that evening after dinner and Jaemin had made it safely to his dorm, he'd received a text from Jisung.
Jisung:
Hey,
Jaemin/S.B:
What's up?
Jisung:
Are you sure you're down to give advice for my problem?
Jaemin:
I gaveadvice on how to milk a cat before, I think Ican handle your perilous task.
Jisung:
Well...
Jisung:
I just need love advice.
A/N:
Alrighty then, I'm hella sleep deprived now so I'm gonna get some rest. Tomorrow I might double update depending on my mood.
*revised part These were basically the implied pumpkin muffins, but they're actually called "Pumpkin Mochi Buns" lol
