Hankyung stared at the flyer in his hand, a grin spreading across his face. The drama class had been advertising for auditions for the school play, Romeo and Juliet.  He began to day dream, picturing himself playing the part of Mercutio. A curse on both your houses. He chuckled to himself.
        “Romeo and Juliet?”
        Hankyung nearly jumped, which, well enough for Eunhyuk he didn’t, or his shoulder may have collided with his jaw.
        “They’re auditioning…,” Hankyung mutterd.
        “Gay,” Eunhyuk scoffed and sat in his seat.
        “Gay?” Hankyung took that almost as if it were directed at him.
        “Romeo wears tights, therefore, gay.”
        That was hardly a justification…
        “It’s not Romeo that’s gay,” Heechul chimed in. “Mercutio is the one that’s gay.
        Another direct hit.
        “Mer-whatta?” Eunhyuk made a face. “I don’t remember all the characters. Wasn’t there a Tybalt? Probably another gay. Hankyung, you alright?”
        Hankyung grabbed at his chest as if their chatter was causing him a heart attack.
        “Fine,” he squeaked.
        Heechul pointed his finger towards his temple and swirled it around as if to call Hankyung crazy.
        “Do you like that play or somethin’?” Eunhyuk asked.
        Hankyung just nodded. It was too painful to speak. How could they say such horrible things about such a beautiful play? Had they no respect for Shakespeare?
        “I usually don’t take to Shakespeare anyway. Someone always dies or there’s always incest. It’s digusting.” Heechul said.
        Hankyung rested his head on his desk. No more! Please! Eunhyuk spoke but Hankyung hadn’t heard it. He lifted his head to look at him.
        “What?”
        “I said,” Eunhyuk stressed as if it didn’t bear repeating. “Are you going to audition?”
        Hankyung stared at him. If he told him yes, would he call him gay? Most probably. But if that was the case, they needn’t be friends anyway.
        “I want to,” he said after assessing the situation.
        “That’s cool, I guess.”
        Hankyung was shocked; and confused.
        “As Mercutio…” Hankyung added as if to test his opinion.
        “Huh,” Eunhyuk chuckled. “You get to die.”
        Heechul snickered quite uniquely. It sounded almost like a cat hissing and trying to cough up a fur ball both at the same time.
        Hankyung forced a weak smile and nodded, “Yeah, but that doesn’t bother me.”
        “Hey, Heechul, you should audition as Juliet,” Eunhyuk nearly burst out laughing the moment he finished his statement.
        Heechul glared at him, “Do you value your voice box?”
        Eunhyuk’s laughter almost abruptly stopped.
        These two sure were strange. But Hankyung supposed he’d get used to them sooner or later. Then he couldn’t help but wonder if everyone else acted the same way. He quickly pushed away the thought as if others would hear it and ruin their opinion of him.
        “You both should audition,” Hankyung blurted, almost regretfully.
        “What?” Eunhyuk nearly choked on air.
        “You could be Tybalt,” Heechul laughed.
        “If anything, I’d be taking pictures of the event, not be a part of it, thanks.” Eunhyuk nodded proudly. “Being in journalism and all.”
        “Psh,” Heechul sat back in his seat. “Leave it to Eeteuk then. You’d make a great Tybalt.”
        “We haven’t even established that that’s a character.”
        “Well, I bet you anything…”
        Hankyung zoned the two out as he continued daydreaming of his role in the school play. Then he almost wished he hadn’t as the picture of Heechul as Juliet polluted his mind. That would be the day…
