"You're bringing a championship trophy home this year dude, I can feel it!" "Ah, fingers crossed!"

"Take it easy on us this semester, will you?" A lighthearted chuckle, "No promises, kid!"

A couple obligatory rounds of greetings later, Darisan Preparatory's esteemed golden boy finally arrives at the door of his own dorm. He turns his key in the lock with his right hand, all the while expertly balancing a cup tray of morning pick-me-ups for his friends in his left.

Jake peeks his head through the door, "Honey, I'm home!"

"There you are!"

Park Sunghoon - the 'honey' in question, Jake's roommate, best friend, and all round right-hand-man - welcomes him into the room with a hearty pat on the back.

"Awww Hoon," Jake exaggeratedly bats his lashes in mock-admiration, "Miss me already?"

Sunghoon rolls his eyes, delivering a light punch to the blonde's shoulder. A serial flirt and a half, that one is.

"I come bearing gifts!" Jake adds in a sing-song tone. He doesn't miss the way Sunghoon's ears perk up at that, and nods toward the two coffee cups in his outstretched hand, "Your one's on the right."

Sunghoon eyes the beverage carefully, "Hm... A cappuccino?"

"Of course."

"Decaf?"

"Uh huh."

"Extra hot?"

"Yup."

"With no foam?"

"Tick."

"And -"

"- Chocolate powder on top. But don't overdo it." Jake finishes his sentence with a knowing smirk. He pushes the cup into Sunghoon's hands, "C'mon man, you really think I don't have all that memorized by now?"

"See, this is why you're the best." Sunghoon happily accepts it with a grin.

Jake hums, "Tell me something I don't know."

The remaining drink is for none other than Jay Park, of course. The eldest of the three shares a room with Kim Sunoo in the neighboring dorm; though he, Jake and Sunghoon have become so attached at the hip that it's not entirely unusual to find them trespassing one another's spaces 24/7.

"You hear that, Jjongie?" Jake knocks against the wall in hopes of catching the boy next door's attention, "Coffee's on me!"

Sure enough, that statement has the final member of their infamous trio scrambling to his feet in no time. Jake and Sunghoon share a laugh upon hearing the distinctive sound of various objects being stumbled over, and Jay's accompanying curses through the wall as he rushes out of his own room and into theirs.

"Did I hear free coffee?!" He appears through the threshold, nearly out of breath.

"Sure did." Jake beams, handing him the cup.

"My savior." Jay gushes between loud slurps of caramel frappuccino. He makes work of downing the iced beverage as fast as humanly possible, features scrunching tightly in less than ten seconds over the brain freeze that follows. "Argh!" He winces, continuing to chug it down regardless, "Ow! Shit, shit, sh- Ow!"
