Chapter Text
“THATS SO UNFAIR!!!” Gyuvin cried out.
”it’s uno you whiny bitch now PICK UP THOSE DAMN CARDS.” Ricky yelled back.
”you clearly cheated! You took your time picking a card from your stack!” Gyuvin argued, picking up some cards.
”it’s not cheating if I’m just incredible at the game! Also I don’t have that much green cards okay!? Of course I’m gonna take my time!” Ricky retorted.
”whatever!” Gyuvin rolled his eyes, straightening his stack of cards in his hands, “okay your turn Yujinnie!”
Hanbin leaned closer to Hao, “you sure it was a good idea to play as a nine?”
Hao sighed, “I wish it was. It’s mine, yours and Jiwoong ah’s last year of college and this is how it’s going.”
It’s the start of the new year. Yujin and Gunwook have officially started college, Matthew and Taerae made it to their third year, Jiwoong, Hao and Hanbin are in their last year and Ricky and Gyuvin are still arguing even in the second year. Wow.
“God did you ever learn to shut up?” Ricky asked, glaring at Gyuvin.
Gyuvin scoffed, “I would if you learned first! Once you start talking, you never stop!”
”like you’re one to talk!” Ricky argued, looking Gyuvin up and down, “it’s your go now Yujin ah.”
Matthew sighed out of annoyance, “how did those two even start arguing anyway?”
////// (Ricky and Gyuvin’s first day of middle school)
”hyung are you sure they’re nice?” Ricky asked the Hao.
The older giggled, “I’m sure they are! Besides, you can always come to me if they’re being mean to you.”
Ricky nodded, feeling reassured.
Hao and Ricky aren’t brothers, but they do have a brotherly bond. Their parents are friends so they decided to become friends as well.
”one of them is the same age as you so I think it would be nice for you two to bond!” Hao added.
”Jiwoongie, I don’t wanna meet them!” Gyuvin whined, trying to get Jiwoong’s hand off of his wrist.
Jiwoong chuckled, “you need to be friends with people your age Gyuvin ah.”
”but I love your friends! They’re so nice to me!” Gyuvin cried out.
”trust me Gyub, the people you’ll meet will also be nice to you.” Jiwoong told the younger.
Gyuvin sighed and nodded, “I guess it won’t be bad saying hello.”
Jiwoong smiled, “ah, there they are! Oiii!! Hao!! Over here!”
Hao looked at the two and smiled, then turned to Ricky, “cmon, go introduce yourself to them!”
Hao and Ricky made their way to Jiwoong and Gyuvin. Ricky was already judging Gyuvin cuz of his clothes.
”Ricky this is my friend Jiwoong and his little brother Gyuvin,” Hao introduced, “this is my friend Ricky. Our families are friends so we became friends.”
”nice to meet you Ricky!” Jiwoong spoke.
Gyuvin stared at Ricky. Maybe a harmless prank wouldn’t hurt as a first impression.
~~~~ (two days later)
”WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU??” Ricky yelled at Gyuvin.
For context, Gyuvin pranked Ricky by splashing bleach onto him, but it honestly made Ricky look better. Blonde hair looked pretty on him.
”MY HAIR IS FRIED ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! I HATE YOU!!” Ricky lashed out at a laughing Gyuvin.
”Ricky calm down! Blonde suits you better honestly.” The teacher said.
Ricky crossed his arms and muttered, “I’ll get him back for this.”
~~~~ (the next day)
”GIVE ME BACK MY SHOES RICKY!!!” Gyuvin was chasing after Ricky.
They ran past Hao and Jiwoong. The older two decided to chase after them so that they don’t get hurt.
They ran behind the school building which was still considered school grounds. Ricky spotted a small tub and oil and threw Gyuvin’s shoes in there.
”that’s what you get for splashing me with bleach!” Ricky declared.
Gyuvin glared at Ricky. He noticed Ricky’s shiny earrings that went well with the newly bleached hair. He snatched it from Ricky’s ear.
”what the- give it back Gyuvin!” Ricky yelled.
Hao and Jiwoong stopped running when they finally saw the two.
Hao placed a hand on his hip, “what the hell is going on here?”
Ricky pointed at Gyuvin, “he stole my earring!”
Gyuvin pointed back at Ricky, “cuz he threw my shoes into a tub of oil!”
”cuz he splashed bleach all over me!” Ricky gestured.
”okay both of you calm down!” Jiwoong interrupted, “no more pranks now, it’s barely been a week and you’re both already causing chaos.”
Gyuvin sighed, “okay hyung, I won’t do pranks anymore.”
Jiwoong was about to say something until Gyuvin literally threw Ricky’s earring into the tub of oil.
Dumb decision.
The tub burst into flames. Jiwoong grabbed Gyuvin’s wrist and held him close as Hao did the same with Ricky.
”my shoes!!” Gyuvin yelled out.
”my earring!!” Ricky also yelled.
Both Ricky and Gyuvin got detention for two days that day. Ever since then, they would both argue whenever they even spared a glance at each other. Luckily, it wasn’t physical. It was once, but then never again since they got detention for another two days after that.
////// (end of flashback)
”HAHA!! I WONN!!!” Yujin yelled in victory.
Ricky crossed his arms, “well I would’ve won if Gyuvin wasn’t being such a little shit.”
Gyuvin scoffed, “you were literally cheating you soggy cat!”
Ricky gasped, “how dare you-”
Hao cut Ricky off, “okay that’s enough! Jiwoong, Taerae, please clean up since I’m too lazy to.”
Jiwoong nodded as Taerae knew exactly what Hao was doing. They cleaned up together.
Meanwhile, Hao and Ricky were talking with each other in Mandarin. No one could understand them except for Hanbin who knew a few phrases.
Speaking of Hanbin, he was playing a video game on the tv with Gyuvin while Gunwook and Yujin were eating snacks together and Matthew was looking out the window.
And mind you, they’re in Hao and Hanbin’s dorm room, meaning their neighbours might have heard all the yelling going on.
Hao and Jiwoong really want Ricky and Gyuvin to stop arguing, so they decided to figure something out tomorrow since it’s Sunday tomorrow.
