"Game On: New Teams, Old Rivalries!"

"Team 1 is..."

Professor: Taehyung, Jimin, Junkook, Yn, Hana, Sumi, Daeho, Yura

"As soon as the professor announces Team 1's names, Taehyung, Jimin, Jungkook, Yn, Hana, and Sumi's minds go blank, as if their souls just left their bodies… and in the background, it almost feels like a dramatic Bollywood song starts playing—

"Chan se jo toote koi sapna… Jag suna suna lage Jag suna suna lage…"

Jungkook clutched his chest like he had just been shot in a K-drama.

Jungkook: "Sir… before you finalize this, I just want to say… I have a weak heart. I can’t handle this kind of stress. I might—"

Jimin grabbed Jungkook’s shoulders, shaking him.

Jimin: "BRO, NO! DON’T DIE! I CAN’T HANDLE THIS ALONE!"

Yn facepalmed.

Yn: "Ugh, this is worse than I imagined…"

Jungkook let out a dramatic sigh.

Jungkook: "I swear, this stress is worse than a murder case! If someone finds my dead body tomorrow, tell them it was this team that killed me."

Jimin dramatically places his hand on his head and spins.

Jimin: "I… I think I’m going into a coma… Everything is turning black… Tell my mom I love her…"

Yn turned to the professor with a blank stare.

Yn: "Sir, are you trying to send us to a mental hospital?!"

The professor sighed, rubbing his temples.

Professor: "ENOUGH! Nobody is dying! Nobody is going into a coma! And nobody is going to a mental hospital!"

Hana leaned closer to Sumi, whispering.

Hana: "With this much drama, we should have won Oscars by now."

Sumi (nodding): "Forget Game Week, we should be in a daily soap."

Taehyung, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up, his expression serious.

Taehyung: "Professor, I refuse."

Everyone turned to look at him.

Yn: "Wait, what?"

Taehyung (crossing his arms): "I don’t want to be in this team. I’d rather be anywhere else."

Jungkook and Jimin gasped.

Jimin: "Bro, even you don’t want to suffer with us?"

Jungkook: "That’s it. We’re officially cursed."

Yn rolled her eyes.

Yn: "Oh, like I want to be in the same team as you? Trust me, the feeling is mutual!"

Taehyung (shrugging): "Good. Then we both agree—this team sucks."

The professor looked ready to explode.

Professor: "KIM TAEHYUNG! You are NOT changing teams! End of discussion!"

Taehyung huffed, leaning back in his chair, clearly annoyed.

The professor scanned the list again, his voice steady yet filled with anticipation

Professor: Leo, Rika, Minho, Akira, Jaehyun, Jisung, Hyunjin, Soojin.

Hearing their names from the professor's mouth, Team 2 stood up as if they had won the competition.

Leo smirked, adjusting his sleeves.

Leo: "Well, well, well. Looks like fate has chosen us as winners again."

Rika flipped her hair.

Rika: "Honestly, I feel bad for the other team. They don’t even stand a chance."

Minho laughed, watching Team 1 still crying like toddlers.

Minho: "What kind of circus is this?"

Akira shook his head.

Akira: "I’ve seen zoo animals behave better."

Yn, hearing that, snapped.

Yn: "OH, SO YOU THINK YOU’RE SO SMART?! LET’S SEE HOW YOU HANDLE LOSING!"

Leo smirked.

Leo: "Oh sweetheart, we don’t lose."

Jimin grabbed Taehyung’s sleeve, shaking him.

Jimin: "Bro, we are DOOMED. They are too cool!"

Taehyung just sighed, still uninterested.

Taehyung: "Whatever. I don’t care."

Professor: "NO MORE COMPLAINTS! If I hear one more word, I will personally eliminate you all!"

The war had officially begun.

Scene: Canteen - The Turning Point

Yn, Jungkook, Jimin, Hana, Sumi, Daeho, and Yura sat together in the canteen, sulking. Taehyung was sitting at the edge, still looking uninterested. Daeho and Yura were trying to keep everyone calm.

Yura (crossing her arms): "Come on, guys. It’s just a game. You’ll survive."

Jungkook (dramatically): "Survive? SURVIVE?! Do you even know who we’re up against?! Team 2 has been winning every single year! They’re basically the villains of every high school drama ever!"

Daeho (calmly sipping his coffee): "Then be the main characters and defeat them."

Yn sighed.

Yn: "Easy to say, hard to do. Taehyung is already planning his resignation from this team."

Jimin nudged Taehyung 

Jimin: "Bro, seriously, you’re just going to sit out and let us suffer?"

Taehyung shrugged.

Taehyung: "I never agreed to this nonsense in the first place."

Before anyone could argue, Team 2 entered the canteen, walking in slow motion like they were models on a runway.

Leo smirked as he passed Team 1’s table.

Leo: "Enjoy your meal, losers."

Minho laughed.

Minho: "Try not to choke on your defeat."

Rika blew a kiss mockingly.

Taehyung, who had been uninterested all this time, suddenly sat up straight. His eyes darkened, and a smirk played on his lips.

Yn noticed the shift in his expression.

Yn (suspiciously): "What?"

Taehyung leaned forward, his smirk growing.

Taehyung: "Change of plans."

Jungkook blinked.

Jungkook: "Huh?"

Taehyung’s gaze was locked onto Team 2.

Taehyung: "Nobody calls me a loser."

Yn raised an eyebrow.

Yn: "Oh, so NOW you care?"

Taehyung’s smirk widened.

Taehyung: "If they want a war… we’ll give them one."

Jimin gasped.

Jimin: "You mean… you’re actually going to try?"

Taehyung leaned back, stretching his arms.

Taehyung: "Not just try. We’re going to destroy them."

Yn smirked, feeling the fire ignite in her.

Yn: "Now that’s more like it."

Jungkook slammed his fist on the table.

Jungkook: "Let’s show them who they’re messing with!"

Jimin stood up dramatically.

Jimin: "Warriors, assemble!"

Hana rolled her eyes.

Hana: "Sit down, Jimin."

Daeho smirked.

Deaho: "Now this… this is going to be fun."

As Team 1 exchanged determined glances, one thing was clear—this war was officially on.

Team 2 finally left the canteen, leaving behind an awkward silence. Deaho, looking like a disappointed dad, stood up dramatically and clapped his hands.

Daeho: "Alright, listen up, you bunch of overgrown toddlers! I know you all want to strangle each other, but guess what? We’re a team now!"

Yn crossed her arms, leaning back in her chair. "Correction: We are forced to be a team."

Jungkook groaned, slumping over the table. "Bro, this is worse than a horror movie."

Jimin wiped a fake tear. "Yeah, at least in horror movies, the suffering ends quickly."

Yura rolled her eyes. "Can we please act like mature adults?"

Hana scoffed. "Mature? With these three? I’d rather eat burnt ramen."

Sumi gasped. "Damn, that’s serious."

Daeho rubbed his temples, already regretting his life choices. "LISTEN! We have two options—work together and win, or keep fighting and lose like absolute idiots."

Taehyung, Jungkook, Jimin, Yn, Hana, and Sumi all exchanged dramatic looks.

Taehyung: "Fine. We’ll work together… for the sake of winning."

Jungkook: "Yeah, but just so we’re clear—I still hate you all."

Jimin: "Same. The only thing holding me back from throwing hands is my desire to win."

Yn smirked. "Oh? So now you guys care about winning?"

Taehyung leaned back, crossing his arms. "I don’t care about winning. I just care about not letting those smug idiots from Team 2 win."

Hana: "Well, at least we agree on something."

Sumi clapped her hands. "Okay, great! So we all still hate each other, but we’ll tolerate each other until we win. That’s progress!"

Daeho sighed in relief. "Finally. That was harder than solving a math problem."

Yura chuckled. "You mean harder than Jungkook’s brain trying to process logic?"

Jungkook gasped, clutching his heart. "HOW DARE YOU?! I AM A GENIUS!"

Jimin patted his shoulder. "Yeah, bro, sure. And I’m secretly a billionaire."

 Scene: The Boys’ Secret Meeting – "Bro Code Activated"

After finishing their food, Taehyung, Jungkook, and Jimin huddled together at one end of the canteen, whispering like they were plotting world domination.

Jungkook: "Okay, real talk—do we actually trust them?"

Jimin: "Absolutely not. But we have no choice."

Taehyung: "Ugh. This is painful. But we can’t let Team 2 win."

Jungkook: "Yeah, and we have to make sure Yn doesn’t boss us around."

Jimin gasped. "BRO. That’s impossible. She’s built for bossing people around!"

Taehyung smirked. "Then we just have to outsmart her."

Jungkook: "You mean… use our brains?"**

Jimin and Taehyung looked at him like he just suggested something illegal.

Jimin: "Let’s not go that far, bro."

Scene: The Girls’ Secret Meeting – "Surviving the Boys"

Meanwhile, Yn, Hana, and Sumi were having their own emergency discussion at their table.

Hana: "Okay, let’s get one thing straight—we CANNOT let those idiots take control."

Yn: "Agreed. If they’re in charge, we’re doomed."

Sumi sighed. "And if we’re doomed, my future rich life is doomed."

Hana: "Focus, Sumi! This is war!"

Yn smirked. "We just have to make them think they’re in control. But actually, we’ll run the show."

Sumi: "Ah, mind games. I like it."

Hana clapped. "Perfect. Let’s pretend to listen to them, but actually, we’ll lead."

Yn grinned. "It’s called strategy, babe."

Time skip: The last period begins

The entire class sat up straight as the professor entered. Some students were still half-asleep, but the moment he cleared his throat, everyone knew something serious was coming.

Professor: "Alright, listen up! The Class Competition will be held tomorrow."

The room fell silent. Even the students who were doodling suddenly became interested.

Jimin (whispering to Jungkook): "Oh no… I feel like this is going to be painful."

Jungkook (nodding seriously): "I can already smell the stress."

Professor adjusted his glasses and continued.

Professor: "This year’s challenge is called… The Box Challenge!"

Some students exchanged confused looks. Others looked excited. Then, as expected—Team 1’s chaos began.

Yn (frowning): "Box Challenge? What does that even mean?"

Jungkook (whispering dramatically): "Do we have to fit inside a box? Because I’m too young to be packed away."

Jimin (gasping): "What if we get locked inside?! I have claustrophobia!"

Taehyung (shaking his head): "You two need therapy."

Professor (pinching his nose): "NO, you will not be locked in a box! Let me explain!"

Everyone quieted down (except for Jimin, who was still mumbling about his claustrophobia).

Professor: "There will be 30 big boxes placed around the university. Some will have useful items… and some will have traps."

Hana: "Traps?"

Professor (smirking): "Yes. You won’t know what’s inside until you open them. It could be something helpful… or something embarrassing."

The students whispered among themselves. This was getting interesting.

Sumi (raising an eyebrow): "So we have to open random boxes and pray we don’t regret it?"

Professor: "Exactly. But that’s not all. The final goal is to find the Secret Box—the one that contains a hidden key. That key will open a locker… and inside that locker is the trophy."

Gasps filled the room.

Yn (eyes widening): "Wait… so if we find the key and open the locker, we WIN?"

Professor: "Yes. The first team to unlock the trophy wins and qualifies for University Game Week."

The energy in the room shifted. Game Week was a BIG deal.

Before anyone could react, a student raised his hand.

Student: "Sir, if every class is going to have a competition, won’t it be confusing? Like, how will the university manage so many matches?"

The professor nodded as if he was expecting this question.

Professor: "Good question. The university has set a schedule for each class. Every class will have a different day and time for their competition. So, on the day of your game, only your class will be playing. The rest of the students will attend regular lectures."

A collective groan filled the room.

Jungkook (whining): "Wait… so the other students will just be sitting in class while we get to have fun?"

Professor (smirking): "Exactly."

Jimin (grinning): "Haha! Suckers!"

Taehyung: "Focus, Jimin. We still have to win."

Team 2 looked smug.

Leo (crossing his arms): "Sounds easy enough."

Yn (rolling her eyes): "Says the guy who doesn’t know what’s inside those boxes."

Jungkook (whispering to Taehyung): "What if we open a box and a ghost jumps out?"

Taehyung: "Then I’ll personally push you in and close the lid."

Jimin (gasping): "So heartless!"

Professor (clapping hands): "Enough! Start preparing. This competition will test your luck, teamwork, and patience. Let’s see if you can handle it!"

Professor Kim stood at the front of the class, his arms crossed and a serious expression on his face. "Now, I want all of you to tell me the names of your teams and who the leader is. Team 2, go first."

Leo, smirking confidently, stood up from his seat, his posture straight as a ruler. With a cocky grin, he said, "Sir, our team leader is me, and our team name is 'Demonster'."

The professor nodded in approval. "Good, Team 2. Now, Team 1, your leader and team name."

Just as the words left the professor’s mouth, Yn and Taehyung shot up from their seats at the same time. "Me!" they both declared in unison, their voices loud and firm.

The whole class went silent, staring at them.

"You?!" Taehyung and Yn exclaimed together, both of them with wide eyes, clearly shocked.

The tension between them was so thick, you could almost feel the rivalry in the air. They stood there, glaring at each other, as if daring the other to back down.

"You really think you're the leader?" Taehyung scoffed, crossing his arms, looking at Yn as if she were crazy.

"Oh, I know I am," Yn shot back, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "You're definitely not fit to lead this team."

Meanwhile, the rest of the team—Jungkook, Jimin, Hana, Sumi, Daeho, and Yura—were caught in the middle of this war of egos. Their faces ranged from confused to downright horrified.

All this drama continued as the professor, trying his best to stay serious, couldn't help but chuckle at the spectacle unfolding before him. "Alright, alright," he finally said, after a long pause, "Enough drama for one day. Since you two are so enthusiastic about leadership, you will both be co-leaders."

The room went silent, and the entire team—Jungkook, Jimin, Hana, Sumi, Deaho, and Yura—stared at the professor in disbelief.

"Co-leaders?!" Taehyung and Yn exclaimed at the same time, both of them looking horrified. "This is a nightmare!"

The professor grinned, clearly enjoying the chaos he had just caused. "And, because you two are so compatible in your rivalry, your team name will be... Team Tom & Jerry!"

Jungkook groaned, dramatically sinking into his chair. "No way… not Team Tom & Jerry!" he complained.

Jimin, unable to resist, rolled his eyes and said, "This is going to be a disaster."

Hana sighed exaggeratedly. "I’m going to die from second-hand embarrassment."

Sumi shook her head, muttering, "I did not sign up for this."

Daeho, clutching his chest, put on a dramatic act. "This is it... it’s all over!"

Yura, trying to keep up with the dramatics, let out a loud groan. "Why are we cursed with this team?" she said, throwing her hands up in mock frustration.

The professor finally, with a smirk, said, "Team Tom & Jerry, congratulations. You’re officially in the competition!"

Taehyung and Yn groaned in unison, now completely overwhelmed by the absurdity of it all. "This is going to be the worst," they muttered, but deep down, they knew they were in for a wild ride.
