You put your phone down and immediately gave yujin a soft punch to the arm. “Why would you expose me like that” you said as you let your head fall into your hands. “I couldn’t let it slide and you know you would’ve done the exact same thing if the roles were reversed” he had a point so you decided to just keep quiet and admit defeat. The both of you finished the last sips of you drink and headed towards the faculty building to meet up with the other three.
As you walked up to the faculty building you saw a big group of people waiting around the multiple tables the members of student council had set up. You and yujin looked around to find your friends when you heard someone call out your name. When you turned around you saw it was hao who had called you with gyuvin and ricky in tow. The five of you made some small talk while waiting for the games to start.
“Hi everyone” someone shouted as they were stood on one of the tables. “My name is myung jaehyun, president of the student council, and i would like to welcome you to the very first challenge of the SNU Challenges!”. Hao looked at you and the both of you snickered over how enthusiastic he was. “The first game is minute to win it” He continued to go over the rules explaining that every given challenge had to be completed within 60 seconds and each team had to put up a member before the game was announced to keep it as fair as possible. If your team fails to complete the challenge you are eliminated from today’s game and will earn no points. He then said that every team had one swap out meaning that the team could put another player in after the game was announced already. “Let the first game begin” he hollered as all the partaking teams cheered.
Your team decided to just go in without trying to strategize as gyuvin claimed that you’d be too much of a tryhard. The student council told everyone to put up their first member to play the game. “As the team captain you should go first hao, set a good example you know?” You said with a hint of playful sarcasm in your tone. The other three gave some overly sweet mhm and you got this man’s while nodding their heads. Hao knew there was no point in arguing with you guys and just took a step forward to signal he was playing the first game.
The first game was a very easy start that consisted of just answering 5 questions about SNU within the 60 seconds. While the round was made to be just a warm up two teams still managed to get eliminated. When you looked over at said teams realizing they were completely drunk it wasn’t much of a surprise though. “The second round is a duo game so everyone put up two members to play this time” As soon as gyuvin heard that he immediately grabbed yujin by the hand and pulled him forward with him. “What better duo than a father and son” he said with a smile looking back at the three of you while yujin stood there embarrassed that he had just basically shouted that in front of the rest of the people there.
They announced that the second game was shouting and silence, The goal being getting 3 words right within the time limit to pass. While they explained this all you could do was pray that neither of them would say some out of pocket shit. Even though the first word was a struggle as yujin kept hearing crustaceans instead of christians they luckily made it with some time to spare. The next game you guys put up ricky to play and he easily cleared his round too.
“Guys we’re actually doing so well” you said excitedly. “Of course we are, we’re easily winning this because of me” gyuvin said smugly. “Don’t get too big of a head you only won your round because your so loud yujin could hear you through the headphones” ricky said while laughing. Gyuvin however took that personally and as soon as they asked for the players for the next game he jumped on the opportunity to show ricky he could also clear a game by himself.
He regretted it as soon as the game was announced though. “Next round you need to chug this beer without spilling within the 60 seconds” gyuvin took a look at the tall glass and immediately looked back at the rest of you. “How’d you choose the one drinking round dude” you exclaimed as gyuvin started to walk back after he told one the game hosts that your team was using your swap out. “You act like i knew that was gonna happen” he yelled back looking defeated. “Well who’s doing it then” you said and immediately got flooded with excuses of morning classes and having a slight cold that was really just a one of cough. The game host pressured you guys to make a choice and the guys just ended up shoving your forwards.
You accepted your fate and walked up to the table the glasses for each team was stood on. As you were trying to somewhat mentally prepare you kept hearing a bunch of yelling behind you to the left. You looked back to find another team full of guys cheering their friend they had put up. Your eyes tried to follow the direction they were shouting at and your eyes landed on him. Him as in the same guy you saw earlier at the cafe with yujin and the same guy who made you spill the drinks. You must’ve stared too long cause when you regained consciousness you realized he was staring right back at you only to quickly look away. There was no time to think though as a loud whistle was blown. You swiftly but carefully grabbed the glass and quickly downed the beer till the last drop after which you slammed the glass down to signal you were done. After you got conformation that you passed you ran back to the guys. They cheered for you but all you could do was sneakily try to points toward the guy while repeating he’s here.
“Who’s here” gyuvin shouted in his excitement of your last win while looking around for someone familiar. You quickly shushed him as you pulled his head down by his neck. “The guy i saw with yujin today, the one who made me spill my drink” all of the guys necks snapped to where you pointing at just now. “Oh my god dont make it that obvious you idiots” you yelled at them. You couldn’t discuss much more as the next round was starting. It was hao’s turn again but this time around he had a lot less competition as a bunch of teams got eliminated for spilling and not finishing last round. He however easily cleared his round again walking back with a nonchalant attitude as to say that it wasn’t a challenge for him.
While hao cleared the round with ease a few other teams got eliminated which left two other teams besides you guys. “This will be the last round, whoever wins this will earn the very first point of the SNU challenges” president jaehyun exclaimed. “The last round will be another duo game so put up two players” as gyuvin and yujin did the first duo game and hao did the last one that left you and ricky to step up for this round. “You guys will each have to consecutively flip two cups right side up onto the table but you can only progress after the other person has done it” one of the hosts explained as you and ricky were standing in front of the table that had four red solo cups resting on the edge flipped upside down.
The whistle blew for the last time and ricky started the both of you off with an instant perfect flip. Even though you wanted to celebrate that small victory you knew it would have to wait as you still had to do your part. It took you 3 tries but you got it on the third one. Somehow ricky managed to get another perfect flip in one try and now all his focus was on you. “Look away dude i can’t do it if you staring like that” you said to which ricky quickly retorted “Stop talking just flip it” while he looked the other way. None of the other teams had done it yet and the game hosts started counting down from ten. It kind of got to you and you tried your best to push the nerves down. As they hit 5 you finally flipped it after a solid 6 tries that felt like 20 in your head. Ricky instantly started cheering when he saw you did it and held out his hands for a high five. In you excitement you hugged him and you were quickly joined by the other guys. The five of you were jumping around in one big group hug and after you guys calmed down your team was awarded the very first point.
just learned that hanbin used to turn on his elementary teacher’s computer ahead of time whenever they were running late in the morning to make it look like the teacher was already there and working so they wouldn’t get in trouble if the principal happened to walk by. he would also step in front of the class to kindly remind everyone to keep the noise down whenever the teacher had to step out :(((
