Even though his team hadn’t won, Tae couldn’t deny that he’d had fun during the scavenger hunt. However, he couldn’t say the same for Ayla, who had seemed pretty let down by their defeat. Ayla was like an older sister to him and he didn’t like seeing her upset so he tried to comfort her before going back to his room. He had been looking forward to spending the night in his room, listening to his records and maybe even playing his guitar for a bit if his body allowed. He was definitely smoking first, he knew that much.
The first wrench in his plan had been thrown by Renlin, who had invited everyone to a party in Umbra to celebrate his team winning. Tae didn’t even need to open the message to decide that he was not going. He had learned his lesson from the sleepover and had zero interest in attending anything hosted by either of his cousins anytime soon.
The second wrench came in the form of a knock at his door which disrupted him as he was staring at the drawer of his bedside table, deciding whether he wanted to just dull his pain or spend the evening on another plane of existence. He groaned as he realized he would have to stand up in order to answer it.
“What the-” Tae thought out loud as his door burst open before he was fully upright. “Ya!” He scolded in Korean as he realized who it was.
“We are going!”
“Speak for yourself.” He muttered as he flopped onto his bed, where he intended to stay for the rest of the night. “I’m staying here.” He added to make sure she knew that he had made up his mind and wouldn’t be changing it.
