A Morning Banter Of Friendly, Insults, Shoves, And Slaps.

A smile curved on Hanuel lips as he reeved his Mach bike higher. It really was the fastest bike there was, created by non other than his mother, with the highest drift and mini turbo stats. The tires were even know to change position and generate enough gravitational power to hover above the ground and water. It was the most expensive bike to have and the most hardest to ride, but having racing his sister with it since teenager years it came natural to him.

They gunned forward, Hae increasing her speed limit determined to surpass her brother in the usual morning race to school. But Hanuel bike had been tuned by him himself, so she was always a few feet behind. Despite his skill and love for art he could not deny the fact that he had an eminent talent for engineering. An inheritance from his mother.

Hae permitted a glance at her brother as she passed by him with a quick turn, flashing him a smug grin. Chuckling to himself, he twisted his engine higher and swerved straight into a shortcut leading to the university. Eventually Hae was beaten by her brother again, leaving her about two minutes behind.

The university was of course the most expensive in the city of Seoul, having rich and famous parents had their perks. The building was a brown and white skyscraper with a sort of wavy shape going round the whole side like a twisted iron. The parking lot was a huge space with dozens of expensive cars and powerbikes, but nothing beat the Mach bikes. Outside was full of futuristic technology, with cop ships flying above the sky and hovering just above the ground. Holograms showing adds and the days news were everywhere, people walked around speaking on their watches with holographic tendencies, some riding on a hoverboard and so much more.

"Sore loser." Haneul snickered dismounting his bike and taking off his blue helmet and sticking his tongue out at his sister.

She rolled her eyes doing the same to her twin." Don't worry I'll get you next time."

He snorted. "That's what you always say." That sentence gifted him a smack to the neck by his sister.

"Yo, Yin and Yang." A familiar voice called to them from the other side of the parking lot, empty for their reservation. The twins turned to that particular direction to find their three best friends since middle school waiting for them at their reservation.

Sado Yasutora, a twenty one year old red headed and blue eyes feisty 5ft9 boy. A crazy headed Ares, originally and completely Japanese but migrated to Korea after his father's work made them move. A gay individual was a masochist personality, a behavior that only his friends know about. A college student with the dream of becoming a dancing prodigy.

Lorenzo Ciao. A twenty three year old Spanish immigrant who came to Korea after his adoption at the age of four by Asian parents (Koreans). That was when he first met Sado in kindergarten. He was a 6ft1 guy with his sexuality still in question although he thinks it isn't, a interestingly and bewildering pale skin especially for a Italian, aspiring to own a host club one day and a big softie who is a bit to much of a quiet kid. . He liked baby animals and sweets, blushes when ever someone complicated him just like any other timid and shy person, people always took him as a joke whenever they figured out that side of him. But viewing him from afar, checking out his short black hair with piercing grey eyes, ear piercings and tattoos you'd think one look would tear you down. And being the oldest of the group he would tear anyone down if they messed with his friends.

And lastly was Ji-eon Park. The most fiercest in the group. Despite her petite 5ft4 figure she would rip the head clean off someone's shoulder, she maybe short but she uses killer heels to make up for lost height. They called her a red queen sometimes for a reason. You look at her plushie teddy bear bag and think it's cute? There a gun that shoots 200,000 volts of electricity in it and she is not afraid to use it if you taste her patience as thin as a nail. A fun loving person in the K-pop program striving to be just like her idol Subin Kim. She was the type that didn't take shit from anyone and cared deeply for her friends. It was actually how she got to meet the twins where she teamed up with Hae to rescue Haneul from a group of bullies in kindergarten. They had been best friends ever since. The rest found each other in middle school.

"Hey guys," Hanuel waved as the twins rushed over to them, they all were wearing their bike outfits today. Ji-eon in a pink and white with a pink plushie bag hanging from the pants, Sado in a red and Lorenzo in a black and grey, their outfit matching the color of their bikes." Sorry we're late."

Ji-eon snorted with a roll of her eyes. " We arrived two minutes ago, I think we can all agree that we came late."

Hanuel rose his brow in surprise. Hae winced." Rough night?"

" Understatement of the century." She snorted rubbing her sore and somewhat puffy eyes gently with her slender figure fingers." Five hours of sleep really don't do you justice."

"Five hours?" Sado scoffed and shook his head in disbelief as they lined their bikes beside each other and draped their helmets on the hands." I only managed to get four."

"We got three." Hae announced with an exhausted yawn leaning on her brother for support. Haneul nodded at her words holding up three fingers as if to make further declaration.

"Three? Gosh you guys had it hard. I wonder how you pull that off and still look so good." Ji-eon moaned intensly observing Hae's bag free face.

" It's the power of makeup dear, I could give you some tips some time if you like...." Hae grinned widely focusing on her petite friend. Any conversation that had the word makeup in it was always an interest that piped her resolve. It was what she was majoring in college after all.

Sado and Haneul tuned out of the girls conversation already feeling bored from the talk of different shades for facial skin and faced the quiet Italian boy who hadn't spoken a word to anyone since they grouped up. It wasn't a worrying behavior, he rather loved to listen to other people than contribute to the discussion, he was a great listener and the best at giving advices.

"What about you big guy?" Haneul said, softly nudging his friends in the arm as they abandoned the parking lot and began moving towards the school." How many hours did you sleep."

"Uh..... that's..." Lorenzo began to talk, his voice having a hint of that Italian accent in his deep tones. A sexy trait.

Sado squirted his eyes to scrutinize his childhood friend. He looked tired, like he always did and the bags under his eyes were way worse against his unusually pale skin today. Not to mention that nervous and guilty itching on his nape he was doing at that moment told Sado all he needed to know." You didn't sleep at all did you?" He growled slapping Lorenzo's shoulder hard. Not that he felt anything, the Italian boy ate gym exercises for breakfast.

"Dude again!" Both the twins and Ji-eon chorused staring at themselves knowingly like this wasn't a normal occurence. And it wasn't.

"Renzy you seriously have to sleep more." Sado protested a bit downcast looking at his friend worriedly." You're making us all worried about you."

"Yeah..." Hae added pushing her brother away from Lorenzo's side so she could take his arm." And worrying gives someone wrinkles, three of us in this group will likely have a career in modeling, music and dance and we need to look pretty for the stage. Do you want to give us wrinkles and be a hindrance to our progress."

" At least try to sound more sympathetic." Haneul slapped his sister on her head.

" Is your insomnia acting up again?" Ji-eon asked hopping before him and walking backwards with her hands behind her and bunny pink eyes looking up at his grey ones.

"Guys I'm fine, I got caught up in my project and wanted to finish it up so it took me the whole night. I'll get some sleep tonight, I promise." He said with an assuring tone raising his hand to pat Sado on his fluffy red hair. That had them relaxing for he never broke a promise.

"You finished your project in a night? Way to go puta!" Hae cheered for him feeling surprised and envious at his diligence.

" Don't encourage him!" Sado snapped at her with a distasteful hiss.

" Puta means ***** idiot!" Haneul shoved her away from Lorenzo's side and reclaimed his spot." Please if you don't know how to speak Spanish I suggest you refrain from doing so and focus on your Korean."

" Your bags really got worse today," Ji-eon observed standing in her tiptoes so that she could stretch her hand to caress his black bags gently." You could cover it up with make-up if you want."

"So we won't notice? No way!" Sado butted in slapping her hand from his face and pulling Lorenzo towards him." Plus I think you look rather handsome with them."

" I thought you said to not encourage him." Hae sneered, huffing at the fiesty red head. She turned towards Lorenzo with a sweet smile, pushing her brother away and reclaiming the spot beside him. She clinged onto his arm tightly making it harder for Haneul to push her away." Sweetie I could give you some tips on makeup if you'd like, or I could do it for you."

" Get lost, is the only interest you have on a person's face the shade of concealer that would suit the skin?" Haneul groaned shoving his his sister forward so hard that she stumbled on her feet almost meeting the ground if not for Lorenzo being the hero to save her pretty face from instant destruction.

"Are you okay, Celeste?" Lorenzo asked her helping her up on her feet. Celeste, an Italian name for blue. It was like that for the rest too, earning Italian nicknames from Lorenzo.

"If I wasn't gay I would have married you." She giggled jumping so she couldn't peck him lightly on his cheek earning her a bright blush from him as he looked away." Awe baby...."

"Oh my God." Haneul gurgled. Ji-eon bellowed a laughter.

"Argh, stop molesting him, wipe it off!" Sado screeched dragging the poor red boy away from Hanuel and wiping her cherry lipstick away from his flaming cheek. A number one weakness of Lorenzo, an uncalled-for physical affection no matter how normal it was for the group to touch and kiss platonically he never could get rid of his shy blush." Dude, stop torturing the poor guy, you know you're a girl right? He's straight!"

" It's platonic!" Hae defended.

" But you know know how it is, even if it uncalled for not in publish please, people can misunderstand our relationship!"

" I thought we don't care what people think!"

" Hold on Lorenzo is straight?" Everyone stopped in their tracks and turned to stare down at the petite pink haired girl in disbelief." What?"

"Dude!" Hanuel contorted his face.

"The hell?" Sado glared." Where have you been living all this while."

Hae rose a brow.

" He honestly don't give straighten vibes!" She shrugged defensively.

" Just stop I beg of you-" Sado groaned moving forward and rubbing his head a new headache forming in his head again." I need coffee."

"But-" Ji-eon began.

"Leave it." Lorenzo sighed patting her on the head before entwining her hand with his and leadings her towards the school, the blush creeping down his neck.

"Wow, I can't believe the talk of makeup led to this!" Haneul chuckled heartily shaking his head and jamming his hands into his pockets for some warmth.

"Speaking of makeup-" Hae began raising her hand and looking at Lorenzo with dreamy eyes.

"Get lost, it's not happening!" Sado flicked her forehead." You're not making him up. Honestly is there anything thing in your brain except for makeup? Geez."

" Hey, I love Hae's passion for makeup, it becomes her!" Ji-eon said as they entered the building.

" Awe thank you so much Ji-ji." Hae yipped in delight wrapping her arms around the smaller females shoulder." Don't worry when you become that famous K-pop star I'll personally do your makeup."

" Perfect girl." Ji-eon squealed along with Hae doing the groups signature handshake.

"God both of you are perfect for each other." Sado murmured rolling his blue eyes.

" Too bad I'm straight." Ji-eon pointed out shrugging smugly with an overdramatic sigh.

"Yeah, too bad." Hanuel murmured.

"Saddy you too," Haneul said moving away from Ji-eon so that she could wrap her arms around Sado's neck too." When you become that dancing prodigy I'll do your makeup before a stage performance."

" Guys." Lorenzo's domineering tone had everyone's attention, stopping the morning banter of friendly insults, shoves and slaps." We've missed two periods already. Haneul, you have an accounting class with me, Sado and Ji-eon your third period ballet dance lessons, starts in ten minutes, Hae you have your sewing classes, get to it all of you."

" Okay okay we heard you dad I'm going, I'm going." Hae groaned saying her goodbyes before sauntering off towards the sewing departments.

"Sado Ji-eon, scram." Lorenzo ordered draping his hand around Hanuel's shoulder and leading him towards the opposite direction to their class.

"Remember usual spot at lunch, make sure you bring extra food and our coffee. It's your turn for delivery Lolo!" Sado called after them.

" We got it get to class!" Hanuel said waving them off.
