                                                     Sunny: stfu you guys we are not doing this 😭😭🤺🤺🤺

Wonnie babe: hey! That's my emoji!

Sunoo laughed softly and put his phone away. It was nice to hear from them again. But he knew there was no way they would be seeing them anytime soon.

Jake then suddenly entered the living room, putting a call on speaker. Sunoo raised his eyebrow but Jake just jerked his chin towards the phone.

"..hello?" Sunoo asked.

"Hey, guys,"

Sunoo heaved out a breath and smacked Jake's arm, while the latter laughed silently.

"Jay!! Ugh, this Jake went and and made me think you were some scam caller or something!" Sunoo whined, hitting Jake one more time.

"Bro, how could you do that to me? But anyway, are you guys going to the Gbogh Fest?"

"Duhhh!" Jake answered this time.

"But they're not ready!" Sunoo interrupted, snatching the phone from Jake's hand. Jake gave him a shocked look and Sunoo giggled while asking,

"Are you going too?"

"Yeah! And I was wondering if you wanted a lift?"

"Omg yes! These guys are taking forever I think by the time we reach there, the festival is over," Sunoo said loudly, and received a few glares from his friends as they walked past him.

"Haha, okay. I'll pick you guys up in 10. See you soon!"

"Bye Jay!" Sunoo and Jake greeted in unison and hung up.

Sunoo glared at Jake once more and the latter shrugged, heading back to his room. Sunoo shook his head and went back to scrolling through his phone, waiting for Jay to arrive.

"Thanks again for the ride," Sunoo said to Jay, as he parked in the University's parking lot.

"No problem. Come on, it had already started!" He replied, turning off the engine and opening the door. The others crawled out of the car and everyone headed to the entrance.

"Have you guys seen Nicholas? He said he'd be here," Heeseung squinted through the crowd. Just then, a pair of arms hugged his shoulder and Heeseung jumped in surprise.

"HEYA MOTHERFREAKERS! Missed me?!" Nicholas exclaimed, and Heeseung gave out a silent cry.

"No, goodbye," Jay joked and walked off, leaving a pouting Nicholas behind. Everyone else followed him and laughed. They walked together as a group towards somewhere near the stalls. Sunoo sighed and glanced over at the stage, the one he performed on.
