not gonna lie, it really feels like every post here that i see about ppl not having reading comprehension and being unable to understand metaphors and getting whiny about english teachers and there motifs is just full on (unintentionally or not) making fun of ppl w different education and different brains.
like cool im glad that youre so good at reading. im not. i try my best. i learn every day to the best of my ability. im never going to be at your level and making fun of me is not helping. now everything i say sounds stupid bc i missed the point or the joke that was "so damn obvious". im sorry i dont work like you.
like my teachers tried so much. not all of them were great tho (WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT IN THIS CONTEXT BTW) but it doesn't matter how nice someone is to me or how much they spell it out to me, im not going to be able to do it on my own. im sorry i dont look at the red curtains and think of [insert obvious motif here] and im sorry that metaphors go over my head and im sorry im fucking trusting that ppl arent willfully lying. im not media literate.
i know im making this about me when its not, but im the kind of tumblr ppl getting pointed out here so idk. i really like that post that describes diff types of literacy and what spots someone could be lacking in! a constructive look at the differences in communication!! also can we PLEASE acknowledge the role of Education. why can we acknowledge that older ppl arent going to be 'politically correct' bc they didnt grow up that or felt a need to say different (ie old queer ppl who use whatever labels are considered 'rude' now) but we cant acknowledge that many ppl don't have the "right" brain for what ur saying? or that their school is hot shit at literature education? theres an actual fucking reason we complained about lit teachers making us find a secret correct understanding of a situation of a grade. bc we didnt understand and no matter how much they say that we should that we still dont. bc the teachers can try their best but theyre not going to get some neurodivergent kids to completely understand metaphors.
(sorry non americans im about to talk about us here i know yall dont need to deal w this part) post about americans not knowing about other countries until such and such age? and there were Americans making fun of others (who may or may not have been lying, tho im gonna say most werent bc what a thig to lie about) bc they mustve been so damn stupid to not know about other countries right?? like as if that has nothing to do w schooling, location, culture, and a million other things. i didnt know ither countries existed untill o was like 12. yes i have some unusual circumstances (no tv being an important one) but i was just a normal kid living an average life in the us. sure my school didnt teach me and my parents didnt, but why would i, as an english speaking 8 year old w a completely american family in the countryside and no forseeable need to leave my gigantic nationalist country, need to Know about Other Countries? as stupid as this sounds (bc thay would be bigoted to say) its true? what would an average monolingual child in the us w no money need to know about other countries YET? are we gonna make fun of kids for that? or are we gonna acknowledge that education and stuff is not equal?
i know im still fucking worked up about this bc im being too sensitive or whatever. but shut up please. we may not have known before how sucky at CERTAIN literature things as the rest, but we know and theres not much that we can do but try our best. so shut up about ur superior brain and ur superior schooling. im glad that u are able to touch the magical hidden words in poetry and articles and whatnot. like seriously i am!! that can be such a useful life skill!! i don't have it. i never got it, and unless i have some miracle teacher or feel the need to spend years perfecting my 'commom sense' reading skills? i probably never will. i can still get enjoyment out of literature! maybe i read too much baby stuff and thats a problem, but i havent read adult literature that actually hit some magical Brain Thinking Worldy thought so. whatever.

The Aftermath
Pairing: MX’s Shownu x OC [Chaewon] || MX’s Wonho x OC [Chaeyeon] || MX’s Jooheon x OC [Bohwa] || MX’s I.M x OC [Soomi] Genre: slice of life, slight fluff Word Count: 2,827 Summary: When your friends wanna know what happened, especially all of the juicy details, but majority of the time it isn't. part one (All In Fun and Games)
Warning: swear words, mature themes, and that it hasn’t been proof-read since it was last shared three years ago~
part two! but i think you can read it as a standalone. have no idea where this one came out, but i think it was because of my sister wanting a part two as she felt it left off on a good part or something. SISTAR also makes a feature in the story, too. but um yeah, i think that’s about it. happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
"So how's your guys' sex life now that you all finally got together with the guys you've all been longing to get with for the past two years?" Bora casually asked her four friends in their group of eight while having a late lunch together. Bohwa's fork stopped in mid-air and stared at Bora in surprised for asking such a question. Chaewon looked at Bora and the others and quietly went back to eating her pasta indifferently. Chaeyeon bit her lips from saying anything she'll regret. Soomi was the only one that wasn't phased by the question. "It's actually been great, Bora." She continued eating her Caesar salad. "Changkyun's a lot more experienced than I thought he would be." "Ahh, so he isn't all just talk then." Jihyun commented with a laugh. "I thought he was all talk and show up until now, Mi." "Oh, trust me, Ji. His performance is super amazing."
"Can we talk about something else?" Bohwa asked resuming to eat her meal. Dasom looked over at the older woman with a wry look. "Why? Does it make you uncomfortable, Hwa?" "Not really. I just don't want to talk about it as of right now." Bohwa answered with a shrug. "Why, has Jooheon been tiring you out since the party?" Hyorin asked her with a smirk as Bohwa rolled her eyes. "Because of that damn party, Jooheon has been creatively needy since then." She paused in eating her pasta. "I'm debating if we should break up." "Wow, that's messed up, Hwa." Chaewon told her with a shake of her head. "Should just tell him to cool it and do it when you guys feel like doing it." "I actually never thought about that, Won. Thanks. I'll have a talk with him later today, maybe." Bohwa chuckled with a nod of her head. "Yeah, definitely today."
"So does that mean you and Hyunwoo have sex when you're both in the mood and do it when you guys feel like doing it?" Bora asked with a smile as Chaewon nodded her head indifferently. "Mmm, yeah pretty much, Bora." "Ugh, I wish Jooheon and I were like that." Bohwa let out a bit sadly. "I think he just has too much stamina for me to handle." "Well, he's still young." Jihyun stated. "Maybe you should just show him a few things that would tire him out." "Like what?" Jihyun began to list a few things and Bohwa was just shaking her head at the ludicrous ideas her friend had suggested. "What, Hwa? I think this would help with his high sex drive." Bohwa relented. "Fine. I'll think about it. Maybe the talk will happen later, I guess."
"Shit, I'll take that into account, Ji." Soomi said with a smile. "Kyun and I had discussed about spicing it up a bit more lately." "If I didn't know any better, I feel like you two would make babies first than the other three." Hyorin grinned as her eyes lit up. "Let me be your babysitter. I'll babysit for free, Mi." Soomi laughed while shaking her head. "Sorry, Hyo. We're not thinking of having any kids any time soon. Unless you wanna pet sit instead. We're thinking of getting a dog." "Wow, that's fast." Chaewon said with widened eyes. "I thought you weren't an animal person?" Soomi shrugged. "It randomly came up when we were talking. So we thought about getting a pet together instead of having kids. It might help us in the future."
"Wait, which reminds me." Dasom suddenly interjected while looking over at Chaewon. "Didn't Soomi say something about you being a mom more than an aunt?" "I did say that." Soomi confirmed while casting a sly look in Chaeyeon's direction. "I still think so, but the way that Yeon has been super quiet since we got our food and playing with her collar, Won may be an aunt before she's a mom." "What?" Chaeyeon let out upon hearing the other girl's word. "I'm not pregnant." "No one said you were." Chaewon said raising an eyebrow. "Did you and Hoseok have unprotected sex?" Chaeyeon scoffed. "I don't need to discuss my sex life with any of you." She continued to rub the fabric against her neck as everyone noticed that she was wearing a long sleeve turtleneck. "I thought you didn't like wearing turtlenecks, Yeon?" Bora questioned her as everyone eyed the older woman suspiciously.
Chaeyeon stopped her actions and brought her hands down to her lap. "I never said that." "Yeah you did. You said they made you itchy and uncomfortable." Bohwa remarked as Chaeyeon avoided their eyes and continued to eat the rest of her burger. "Why do you guys care anyways? Go back to talking about babies and what not." Hyorin who was the closes to Chaeyeon sneakily pulled the collar of Chaeyeon's turtleneck down. "Love bites! OMG, Yeon. You're neck is covered in them hickies. No wonder you were trying to hide them this whole time." "Let me see!" Dasom exclaimed as she pulled the other side of Chaeyeon's collar down as she was on Chaeyeon's other side. "You're right, Hyo. You're neck is totally red and purple, Yeon." Chaeyeon slapped their hands away and pulled her collars back up and her hair around herself. "I burned myself with a curling iron this morning."
"Dumb. You don't even know how to use one." Chaewon retorted with a rolled of her eyes. "And your hair isn't even done either. So stop lying, Yeon." The other girls soon began to tease Chaeyeon as she glared at all of them. "Shut up. I blame all of you for leaving me alone with Hoseok for like ten freaking hours that night. So shut it." "Girl, it was only for like four hours." Jihyun clarified with a smirk. "It wasn't like you were yelling to be released anyways." "How could I when I was trying to get his hands off of me." "But we heard him screamed twice and a very loud thump against the door soon after that." Bora stated from memory while gazing at Chaeyeon intently as the older woman suddenly shied away remembering that moment. "Did something happen?" Dasom cooed as Chaeyeon shook her head. "No. No. Nothing, nothing happened."
"Ohh, girl, spill." Soomi said leaning closer to hear the story with an excited expression. "I know that something definitely happen in that closet between the two of you besides sex, of course." Soomi then grinned widely. "Unless it was the sexy foreplay that led to the incredible sex." Chaeyeon covered her face with her palms due to the embarrassment that Soomi had put her on the spot. "Can we not. Please." "Oohh, Yeon, did something happen that you don't want to tell us?" Bohwa asked interested also leaning closer. "Yes, and, no." Chaeyeon admitted slowly before shaking her head. "Not saying any more." Hyorin looked at Chaewon. "I'm sure she told you, Won. Why don't you tell us instead?" Chaewon grinned while looking over at her older sister. "She did." "Tell us." The other women pleaded as Chaeyeon just shrugged giving her sister permission as she knew there was no escape.
Chaewon grinned as she wriggled her eyebrows up and down. "I'll just say that Hoseok was very, and I do mean very, dominant with Chaeyeon that night and for the past two weeks since." Chaewon informed them as the other six turned to Chaeyeon and began to tease the older woman while Chaeyeon chose to ignore their teasing and finish the rest of her burger. "I hate you all and I'm leaving now." "So that you can go fcuk Hoseok?" Soomi teased as Chaeyeon glared at her. "No. So that I could get away from all of you dirtied minded people." "How are you going to leave when I drove?" Her sister reminded her as Chaeyeon groaned. "Ugh. I forgot. Can I take the car and you can have Hyunwoo pick you up instead?" "No, but Hoseok can pick you up instead." Chaewon countered with a smug look as Chaeyeon rolled her eyes. "I hate you, too." "Mmhmm."
The group of friends continued to talk and teased one another until they're male friends unexpectedly joined them some time later. "Hi, Beautiful." Hoseok greeted Chaeyeon with a back hug as he kissed the top of her head. Chaeyeon ducked away from the unexpected public display of affection clearly becoming shy all of a sudden as she softly let out a meek 'hi'. "Sup, Cutie." Soomi greeted Changkyun with a playful look and a wave as the younger male rolled his eyes at the pet name, but kissed her on the cheek anyways. "Sup, Mimi." "Hello, my darling and sexy mama." Jooheon cooed cutely while pulling Bohwa in for a tight hug. "I missed you. Hope you missed me, too." "Hi, Jooheon and yes I missed you, too." She replied with a laugh as she pecked him on the lips while the younger male grinned before planting a kiss on her check afterwards. "Good."
Chaewon was the only one to stand up to greet her boyfriend with a hug and smile. "Hey, honey." 'Hey, babe." Hyunwoo flashed her his eye-smile while pulling her in for a bear hug. "How are you?" "Good now that you're here." She chuckled before the two kissed. "Ugh, go get a room you two." Kihyun let out in disgust as he pulled a chair from another table to join the others and sat on it as everyone else followed suit. "So damn much P-D-A going on right now." "Hey guys." Minhyuk greeted them all happily unlike Kihyun. "Ignore him. He's just butt-hurt because a car cut in front of him on our way here." "The dumb driver didn't even signal and drove even slower when he got in front of me." Kihyun tried to explained with annoyance. "Should have sped up and cut him off when I had the chance."
"You're road rage is as bad as Chaewon's." Jihyun commented as she offered him some of her pasta. "Cheer up." "I don't want your leftovers." Kihyun declined pushing her hand away. "I'll take it." Hyungwon said as he snatched the fork from Jihyun and gobbled down the rest of it. "Where did you come from?" Bora asked him not even noticing him beside her. Hyungwon only grinned at her in response as he continued to eat. "Wait a minute. How did you guys even know we were here?" Dasom asked them curiously. "It's supposed to be an all-girls' lunch date." "Oh, I messaged Chaewon an hour ago." Hoseok grinned while playing with Chaeyeon's hair as she tried to slap his hands away, but he continued to play with her hair anyways. "Someone's been ignoring all of my calls and messages for the past two days lately."
"I don't know what you're talking about, Hoseok." Chaeyeon denied as she shot a look at Chaewon who shrugged with a wry smile before speaking. "I don't know what you're talking about either, Yeon." Chaeyeon glared at Chaewon, but soon felt Hoseok tugging her hair to get her attention as she looked over at him in confusion. Before Hoseok could say something, Hyorin interrupted him unknowingly. "Well, since we're all here, let's go do something." Hyorin suggested after finishing her meal. "We all haven't hung out since the party." "Can we not bring up the party?" Chaeyeon asked as her attention was now on her friend. "Then what do you want to talk about?" Bohwa asked her amused as she had already gotten over the party issue. "I don't know, Bohwa. Maybe something like about work, school, the weather. Just not the party."
"What do you got against the party, Yeon?" Changkyun asked her while shooting her a teasing look. "What did the party ever do to you?" She glared at him while pointing at Hoseok. "Do you really have to ask that, Changkyun, since you're the one that caused it?" Everyone laughed as Hoseok chuckled grabbing the hand that was pointing at him and laced his fingers with Chaeyeon's. "It wasn't that bad, babe." Chaeyeon avoided looking at him while the rest began to tease her once again. "I hate you all, especially you girls the most. Seriously, I do. I hate all of you." "No you don't, Yeon." Soomi smiled at her. "If you did, then you wouldn't be here six years later." "Not like I had a choice in the first place." Chaeyeon muttered as she looked over at her sister who shrugged in response with a knowing smile.
"So, what should we do?" Minhyuk asked bringing the conversation back to the previous topic as Dasom made a suggestion. "Let's go to Lotte World." "Ohhh, call!" Some of them agreed while Chaeyeon declined removing her hand from Hoseok's. "No thanks. You guys can have fun there. I'm going back home to sleep again." She grinned at them with a wave as she stood up and turned to look at her little sister. "Don't worry. I'll take the bus back home." "And I'll accompany you." Hoseok smiled also standing up while taking the older woman's hand back into his. "No thank you." She rejected her boyfriend's company while taking her hand back again. "You can spend your time wearing those head accessories at the amusement park." She smiled at Hoseok before hurrying away as Hoseok laughed and turned to look at his friends. "You guys have fun. I'll take care of her." He said as he hurried after his girlfriend.
"How much do you all wanna bet that they're gonna end up fucking instead?" Jooheon said as everyone turned to look at him as he shot them all an obvious look. "What? It's clearly the truth." "Yeah, but you don't actually have to state it, babe." Bohwa said as she lightly smacked her boyfriend on the chest with a shake of her head. "But it's so obvious." "Well, we have to decline on the trip to the amusement park, as well." Soomi informed as she stood up with Changkyun following after her. "Yeah, my parents should be arriving soon and they want to meet Soomi." Soomi made a face. "I hate meeting future in-laws." "How many have you met since?" Kihyun asked clearly interested to know as Soomi shot him a smirk. "That my friend, will always remain a secret."
"Alright, we'll see you all later. Have fun at Lotte World." Changkyun told them as he grabbed Soomi's hand and led her out as they all bid one another goodbye. "How much you wanna bet they gonna fuck, too?" "Like, boy, what is wrong with you?" Bora stared at the younger male with a shake of her head although her facial expression was clearly amused. Jihyun patted Bohwa on the thigh with a laugh. "Girl, keep you're boy in check." "You don't know how much I try, Jihyun. You don't even know how much I try to." Bohwa laughed as Jooheon pouted beside his girlfriend. "I'm just saying." "Well keep it to yourself." Hyungwon told him as he yawned. "Does anyone wanna take me back home? I think I would rather sleep than go with all of you to the amusement park."
"All you ever do is sleep, eat, and repeat." Hyorin teased throwing a used napkin at the younger male who didn't seem phased by it when it hit him square in the chest. "Well yeah, less drama to deal with." He then looked around the table. "So, does anyone wanna take me then?" "We'll take you, Hyungwon." Chaewon told him as she and Hyunwoo stood up. "I gotta change clothes anyways." "Why? You look good." Minhyuk stated with a raised eyebrow as Chaewon looked at him. "These are semi-pajamas, Hyuk." "Could of fooled me." Minhyuk scoffed as Hyunwoo agreed. "You're not the only one, Minhyuk. I thought the same thing, too, a while ago." "You're not gonna fcuk after dropping Hyungwon off are you?" Jooheon piped up as Bohwa covered his mouth while the others chuckle at the couple.
Hyunwoo shrugged as Chaewon answered indifferently. "Maybe. Maybe not. But we won't let you know that, of course." She grinned at him as she bid the others goodbye with the other two in tow doing the same thing. "I don't think I even wanna go now." Kihyun announced as he stretched while sitting. "Let's do something else." "Do what?" Bohwa asked as Jooheon whispered into her ear. "I'll do you." Bohwa rolled her eyes with a wry laugh. "Don't even start." No one caught the exchange. "Let's go bowling instead." Bora suggested. "Oh yeah. Let's go!" Dasom agreed. "I haven't bowled in a long time." "Should I message Hyunwoo?" Minhyuk asked as he was getting ready to send the older male a text. "Nah, they'll figure it out on their own." Kihyun grinned. "Hyunwoo said he and Chaewon needed alone time anyways." He then looked around. "Alright, let's go bowling."

Nice to Meet You
Pairing: LYJ x OC [Li Meilian] Genre: slice of life Word Count: 1,436 Summary: “ You’re my neighbor who got drunk and thought this was your apartment but I can’t just send you back home when you keep crying and venting about all of these awful things happening to you” cliche APT AUs.
Warning: swearing and the mentioning of drinking (obviously lol)
My third request, but sharing out of order as I got inspiration in writing this request as I’m still stuck with the others. Sorry for the wait to the anon that requested this. I’ve been in a slump and life got in the way and I actually found time to write and finish this. Hope you like it and happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
Meilian staggered down the hallway of her apartment floor after stepping out of the elevators. She normally didn't get drunk unless she knew that one of her friends would take care of her, but tonight she just needed a drink and had one too many. Feeling the slight headache coming on, Meilian continued to hurried, but clumsily walk down the long hallway until she reached the door to her apartment. Meilian pressed the four digit code, but it didn't work. Believing it to be because of her drunken state, Meilian tried again, but failed once more. She steadied herself as she stared at the nine-numbered key pad as she slowly, but surely pressed the right buttons. It still didn't work.
Frustrated, Meilian let out an agitated sigh as she tried to fish her keys out of her bag. While rummaging through it she grew more irritated as she couldn't locate her set of keys amongst all the other junk she got in her bag. Cursing herself for basically stuffing so much stuff in it she started mumbling about everything else that was going on in her life at the moment and it seemed that fate really wanted to mess with her of all days. Once Meilian finally found her keys, she slowly found the right one before inserting it into the keyhole, and fter turning it and thinking it would open now, it didn't and Meilian let out a strangled cry of disbelief.
"Seriously? What the fuck, man?" Meilian silently cried as she banged her head against the door several times while not caring that it would probably leave a bruise later.
Just as Meilian's forehead was about to smack against the door for the nth time, it suddenly opened and Meilian stumbled into another body. Yanjun's eyes widened upon the female falling against him as he instinctively held out his arms and steadied her with his arms still lingering around her to make sure she wouldn't fall over.
"Are you okay?" He simply asked, but this innocent question opened a dam and Meilian burst into angry tears.
"No, I'm not okay!" She cried before ranting. "Nothing's fucking okay! Life sucks! The owner of my job is a fuckin' dick and a cheapskate. My general manager is a two-face bitch who won't hesitate to throw someone under the bus to save her own ass and all of my colleagues can't do shit without being told to do something." Meilian let out a heavy sighed. "I hate being an assistant manager that they still treat like a regular worker that knows how to do more shit than them and still keep it professional, yet all these motherfuckin' idiots think it's easy to be in my position when all they do is depend on me when they don't know how to do something or want a scapegoat."
"Daman, I hate stupid people." Meilian sighed once more as she continued to speak. "I really wanna quit, but I still need the job and money. I just wish they would realize that I'm important and without me they wouldn't even be where they are right now because they still can't fuckin' operate the system on their own without blowing up my phone left to right." Meilian leaned her head against Yanjun's chest as tears continued to escaped. "Why can't they use their own brain and actually assess the situation, look it up on their own, or even make sure it's all there before bugging me?"
Yanjun stood frozen with Meilian still in his arms and wasn't sure how to respond as he was totally not expecting this at 2 in the morning. He kind of regretted in opening the door, but he had to know who was relentlessly banging on his door and had inserted the wrong code three times that woke him up as his security system's automated voice kept interrupting his sleep. Although he has seen Meilian and exchanged a few greetings and light conversations here and there, Yanjun has never really seen her in this kind of state before or well been in her presence for this long since they said hi to one another. Plus, Yanjun never really learned his neighbor's name despite living in the apartment complex for almost two years now.
"And now I can't even enter my apartment because the code doesn't work and neither does my key." Meilian continued on speaking as she just felt like venting to someone since her roommate was overseas due to work and her other friends that she went drinking with she didn't feel like talking about work and they made sure she temporarily forgot about it. "And I have this splitting headache pounding against my head and now I really wished that I didn't drink so much tonight, but after today's stressful event at work I really needed it."
Yanjun slowly started rubbing Meilian's upper back in a comforting motion while quietly calming her down with several 'shhs' despite his shirt being drenched with his neighbor's tears. Meilian wasn't even sure why she had ranted this to her neighbor as she didn't want anyone to see her like this especially when someone as good-looking as Yanjun didn't need to witness this ugly side of her. Meilian hated anyone seeing her like this as she felt like no one should see someone in this state. Plus, she didn't even know the name of her neighbor despite living here for a couple of years. Anyways, Meilian mustered up the energy and pulled herself out of Yanjun's embrace and backed up while wiping the rest of her tears away.
"Sorry about that." Meilian apologized while shooting Yanjun an apologetic smile. "I just realized now that I kind of sobered up a bit and after seeing the number of your apartment that this isn't even my floor." She let out a scoff. "I'm such a mess and I'm sorry for disturbing you with my problems as you didn't even need to hear any of that from a total stranger although w're neighbors and what not. Anyways, I'm just gonna go and probably screamed into my pillow of this embarrassment for the rest of my life." Meilian then shot Yanjun a sheepish look. "And definitely avoid you for the remainder of my stay here, too. Bye."
Yanjun reached out a hand and took Meilian by the elbow and Meilian looked at him questioningly.
"You’re my neighbor who got drunk and thought this was your apartment but I can’t just send you back home when you keep crying and venting about all of these awful things happening to you." Yanjun told her before letting go of her elbow and rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Well, you were crying and venting, but you seem to be feeling better now." Yanjun contemplated if he should ask the question that backfired earlier, but he felt that it was safe to ask now. "Are you okay?"
A small smiled appeared on Meilian's face as she nodded slowly. "Yeah, I'm okay now. Thanks for letting me vent out to you and for caring even if you didn't have to, but it was much appreciated."
Yanjun smiled showcasing his dimples and this made Meilian feel slightly even more better upon seeing them.
"Well, I know it's maybe like three now and you may want to sleep this off, but I'm up and you're still up," Yanjun began, "Would you like something to eat or some water and maybe an Advil or Tylenol to help you?"
Meilian let out a small chuckle as she debated with herself about his offered and agreed. "Sure, I guess. I did wake you up and since you're offering, I guess it's the least I could do to accept it."
"Lovely. I'm Lin Yanjun by the way." Yanjun introduced himself while offering his hand which Meilian accepted instantly. "Li Meilian. It's nice to finally and properly meet you, Yanjun."
"Likewise, Meilian. Oh, just to let you know, I don't know how to cook, so I hope you don't mind microwave food or ready to eat food."
"It's fine. I can probably make something for the both of us once the alcohol finally leave my system or something close to it, which reminds me. I really do need to use your bathroom though."
Yanjun chuckled as he motioned for her to enter his apartment. "It's down the hall and the first door on the left."
"Thank you!" Meilian said as she took off while Yanjun shut the door and looked towards his kitchen. "I hope I have stuff that she can actually make."

Like Oh 2.0 - Study Session
Previous Chapter: Sleepover Word Count: 4,087 Summary: Serena and Melanie are having their own studying time, but things don’t go as well as they wanted to.
Like Oh 2.0 masterlist
and here’s chapter 11! also i actually did look up these phrases to be as accurate as possible. if there’s still some mistake, then do let me know. anyways, happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
"Zhè shì shén me?" Mark asked Serena in Mandarin of 'what is this' while holding a flashcard with '好吃' written on it. The duo were studying for an upcoming exam final for class at Serena's apartment two days after the sleepover. The two were using flashcards that Serena had made since the beginning of class to help her memorize better. "Hǎo, um hǎo chī?" Serena answered while Mark stalled a bit to tease her and finally answered with a bright smile. "Shì de!" "Finally." Serena let out in English with a relived breath. "I almost thought of something else." "Well this wouldn't be the first time, Zhōng Lǐ tóng xué." He smirked at her as she stuck her tongue out at him in response. "Hǎo dè, Yí Ēn tóng xué. Zhè shì shén me?" Serena held up a flashcard with '很高兴见到你' written on it for Mark to identify.
"Really?" Mark asked while giving her a judging look. "What?" Serena shrugged. "I swear I just randomly picked it up." Mark gave her another look, but answered with ease. "Hěn gāo xìng jiàn dào nǐ." "It's not nice to meet you." Serena muttered. "Don't be jealous." "Jerk and I'm not." "Yeah, you are. Because you called me a jerk." "No and shut up, Mark." Mark laughed before he picked up another flashcard and showed it to Serena as he spoke in Chinese again. "What is this?" Serena stared at the '手臂' card for a good fifteen seconds. "Wǒ bù zhī dào." She answered with a silent laugh. "You didn't even try." Mark scoffed and then gave her a judging look. "At least guess. Had this class for at least two months now." Serena sighed."Is it shǒu zhǐ?" "Bù. Close, but it's shǒu bì instead." He turned over the card for her to see.
"Ugh. I'm gonna fail, Mark." Serena groaned as she placed her head onto the kitchen table. "You're not going to fail, Serena." Mark consoled her. "You're actually not that bad." Serena turned to smile, but then frown after what he said afterwards. "You were horrible in the beginning. Very terrible. You suck so much that-" Serena sat back up and impulsively punched him on the shoulder. "Ow, what was that for?" Mark asked surprised as Serena has never really hit him before. "There was a bug on your shoulder." She lied as she smiled sweetly at him. "That's a lie." Mark narrowed his eyes at her, but continued to rubbed the sore spot. Serena grinned at him once more before returning her attention back to the study session like nothing had happened a second ago. "Let's move on to something else."
She went through her papers and found a few worksheets. "Ah, let's do conversations." By now the pain went away and Mark agreed, although he cautiously eyed the older woman. "Why do you wanna study on everything all at once, anyways?" The male asked as she turned to look at him. "Because I wanna get everything done and over with. Why do you always insist on working and studying with me when practically the whole class wants to work with you instead?" She countered as Mark grinned. "Because you actually do your work and don't constantly stare at me. Or ask questions about the other members." "Yeah, I wonder why." She sarcastically responded "Because I'm good looking." He wriggled his eyebrows. "I didn't take you as a vain person." "I'm not. That's what they think." "And again, I wonder why."
"Because I'm an idol." Mark simply replied. "Too bad they can't just chill." Serena gave him a sympathetic look. "Anyways, let's start." Serena began getting back on track as she asked when was his birthday. "Nǐ de shēng rì shì jǐ yuè jǐ hào?" "Wǒ de shēng rì shì jiǔ yuè sì hào. Nǐ de nē?" He asked her back. "Wǒ de shēng rì yê shì zài jiǔ yuè." "Zhēn de ma?" Mark asked surprised as he learned that Serena's birthday was also in September. "Shì de." She smiled at him as she revealed the date of her birthday. "Shì jiǔ yuè shí liù rì." "Nǐ jīn nián jǐ suì?" He asked to know her age. "Mì mì." Serena replied with her index finger near her lips in a 'shh' motion while Mark rolled his eyes with a chuckle. "Hǎo ba. Hǎo ba." "Wǒ jīn nián èr shí qī suì." Serena told him her age anyways with an indifferent shrug.
"Really? You look way younger than that." Mark switched to English. "You're not lying, right?" "No I'm not lying and I get that reaction a lot actually." Serena laughed. "But nope, I'm turning twenty-seven years old this year. Or well, twenty-eight in Korea's age thingy of sorts." Mark shook his head still not believing it. "Twenty-seven? Wow." "Yeah." "I thought you were like twenty-four or something." "No, that's my sister." "Wait, Melanie's twenty-four?" "Yeah in like two months after me. Why?" "I thought she was my age." "Why do you think that?" "Because she's younger than you and I thought you were twenty-four." Mark let out with a sheepish laugh. "Doesn't that make sense?" Serena laughed nodding. "Yeah, it does." Mark was about to say something else, but Serena interrupted him.
"Now, back to Chinese lessons." Serena shook her papers at him. "Stop speaking in English, Mark." "Wǒ xǐ huān shuō yīng yǔ." Mark countered as he told her he liked to speak English in Mandarin. "Bù xíng, Yí Ēn tóng xué. Bù xíng." Serena waved her finger at him in a playful scolding manner. "Shì de. Shì de!" Mark childishly answered back as he pushed her finger away from him. "Shì de, Zhōng Lǐ tóng xué. Shì de!" "So annoying." Serena muttered in English as Mark slightly glared at her. "What did you just say right now?" "Dunno." She answered in Korean while shrugging her shoulders and giving Mark an indifferent look continuing in Korean. "You're so not nice." "I am nice. You just think differently." Mark shot her a judging look as he shook his head. "You're so weird." "Glad to know." She smiled and then cast him a semi-serious expression. "Now will you leave me alone, Mark?"
Mark grinned. "No." Serena let out a defeated sigh. "At least I tried. Again." "You're not getting rid of me that easily, Serena." Mark ruffled her hair playfully as Serena moved out from under his touch and smacked his hands away. "Whoa, whoa, Mark. We're not that close, bro. You can't be doing that. I'm not one of your nieces, Mark. Or your group members." Serena fixed her hair. "Only I can mess up my own hair, okay?" Mark messed it up again. "Nah, it's fun this way." Serena smacked his hand away again and slightly fixed her hair again. "Stupid shit." She muttered under her breath as she tied her hair into a ponytail, but Mark had heard her and let out a chuckle. "So hostile." "No I'm not." "Yes, you are." He said as he batted at the ends of her ponytail. "This bish." Serena muttered as Mark laughed again.
The idol looked at their class notes and shoved everything away. "Let's take a break." He suggested while speaking in English as Serena eyed him. "Just so you can play with my Nintendo 64, no thanks." "Wait, you have a Nintendo 64?" "No. Neither do I have a PlayStation 2." "You have a PlayStation 2, too?" "Uh, no." Mark shot her a look. "You already gave yourself away. Twice." Serena groaned as she placed her head onto the kitchen table again. "I shouldn't have answered the door or the Skype call." Mark chuckled softly while playing with Serena's hair again. "Don't act like you hate me." "I don't have to act to hate you." "Wow." Serena turned her head to flash him a tired smile. "Anyways, I didn't bring a lot of games with me. Just the ones I usually play with. The others are all back home."
Mark stood up and stretched his limbs. "That's fine, Serena. Let's go play and take our break." Serena sat back up and stared up at him. "Mark, I think we should continue studying." "We will, Serena, it's just a mini break." Mark tried to reasoning with her. "C'mon. We've been studying for like three hours. We need a break to relax our brain or whatever." "It's been less than an hour, Mark." "Same difference. A break helps." "Work hard, play hard, right?" "Exactly. You know what's up. Now let's just rest our brain for a bit and play all those games you got for both the Nintendo 64 and the PlayStation 2." Serena groaned as she gave in while standing up and stretching her limbs. "Just don't cry when I kick your ass." "Yeah, right. I'm a pro." "We'll see."
~~~~~~~
Two hours later Mark and Serena were still playing video games when a knock sounded and Serena paused the game. "What? Why did you pause? I was about to go ham." Mark whined as Serena rolled her eyes. "Someone's at the door. Calm down." Serena made her way to the door and looked out at the peephole and saw three GOT7 members and she let out a sigh. "Is it bother Serena Day today or what?" She mumbled to herself as she opened the door. "Hey guys. What's up?" "Help us study for our English exam, please, noona." The trio begged as Serena looked at Yugyeom, Jinyoung, and Youngjae with a puzzled look. "Um, that's not until like two weeks from now." "Yeah, but don't you remember that we have a practice exam on Tuesday that will give us extra credit in place of our lowest test score?" Yugyeom asked as it dawned on Serena. "Oh, right, you do." "So will you help us?" "I guess. One's already here, so what's three more."
"Great!" Youngjae exclaimed happily as Serena allowed them into her apartment with a smile. The trio ended up playing video games with Mark while she went about to get her materials for the class. "I hope I have everything Ana gave me." Serena muttered after exiting her room and then making her way into Jeannie's room to grab the large white board she had along with all the dry erase markers. Serena returned to the living room with the items and placed them onto the floor before making her way towards Jasmine's room for the small table. "Please don't break this. This belongs to Minjae." She said as she returned back to the living room as the quartet nodded their heads. She gave them a firm look as the quartet responded. "Yes. We won't break the table." "Cool. Now let's begin. The game can wait."
The males groaned, but eventually sat at the table while Serena stood before them with her back to them. When she turned around she looked at Mark with a raised eyebrow. "What are you doing, Mark?" "Sitting in." "Why?" "Can I not?" "If you want." She looked at the other three. "Ready?" "Ready!" They announced excitedly as Serena chuckled while turning around to write a phrase on the white board. "What is your favorite food?" She read out loud in English while facing the idols again. "My favorite fo-" Serena interrupted Mark. "You don't need to answer, Mark." "Why not?" He asked with a slight frown. "I know English. I can help." "I know you do, but it's because you're not in the English class." "And your point is?" Serena eyed him. "Do you wanna teach the class instead, Mark?" "No." "Exactly."
"Anyways," Serena began again as she pointed at Jinyoung while calling him by his English name. "Justin, how about you answer this question first." "Ah," Jinyoung was startled to start first, but recovered instantly to answer confidently. "My favorite food is hamburger and pizza." "Good job,  Justin." Serena praised him while looking at Youngjae. "Elliot, your turn. How about you?" "Uh, um," Youngjae began to stuttered before answering. "My favorite food is, is not cucumbers." Serena chuckled as she nodded. "Yeah, you can answer that way too. Nice job. Chris?" Serena cast her eyes onto Yugyeom as he smiled brightly at her. "What is your favorite food?" "I like samgyupsal, bulgogi, kimbap, and chicken!" He answered easily as Jinyoung called him out on it. "You're supposed to answer it in English."
"What do you mean? It is in English. I also like choco shake." Yugyeom added with a confused look while Jinyoung explained. "You can't say samgyupsal. It's pork belly. Bulgogi is fire meat and kimbap is rolled seaweed rice." Serena intervened as she switched to Korean. "No, no, it's okay to answer with the Korean names for Korean foods, Jinyoung." She looked over at Yugyeom. "You can answer like that as well. It's okay. Everyone's answer is correct in their own way." Yugyeom smiled happily as he stuck his tongue out at Jinyoung who wanted to hit the younger male, but refrained from doing so. "Okay, next phrase!" Serena beamed at them as she put down the black marker she was using to use another color, but frownd when she couldn't find the cup that held the other markers? "Where did the markers go?"
"Mark has the markers!" Mark exclaimed with a loud laugh as he brought out the cup from behind him. "How did you take them?" "I'm a ninja cat." "No you're not. That's me. May I have them back, please." "No." "You act just like my niece and nephew." "I'm not that childish." "Whatever, kid. Just give back me my markers, please." Serena stated as she marched over to the group of four and took the cup away from Mark. "I honestly don't know why I tolerate you sometimes." Serena huffed as Mark continued to laugh at his enjoyment of messing around with the older woman. "Anyways," Serena calmed herself down. "Where can I...?" She said out loud while writing the incomplete sentence on the board before facing the idols again.
"Who would like to complete the sentence and come up here to write it?" She repeated the phrase. "Oh, me! I want to go first!" Youngjae happily exclaimed as he stood up and ran over to Serena taking the offered marker as he wrote beneath the phrase. "...play the piano?" He completed the sentence as Serena smiled at him before answering his question for fun. "You can play the piano at your company, Elliot." Youngjae laughed awkwardly as Serena patted his back with a smile. "Good job. Next?" Yugyeom jumped up next and took Youngjae's spot. "...meet Chris Brown?" Yugyeom asked once he finished writing as Serena chuckled. "I don't know, Chris. I don't really follow him." She then patted the tall male on the back as well. "But good job. Ne-Mark sit back down. Justin stand up please."
Mark grumbled as he did what he was told while Jinyoung stood up instead patting the older male on the shoulder with a comforting smile. "Okay, Justin, please complete the sentence." Jinyoung stared at the white board for a moment or two as he tried to think of something. "Um, can't think of anything, Justin?" "Oh, no, I have something." Jinyoung answered before releasing an embarrassed laugh. "I just don't know how to write it." "Just do your best." Serena encouraged him as Jinyoung cast the female his signature smile, but Serena saw a hint of mischievousness in it. "Okay." He answered as he finally completed the sentence with a smug look. "... sign about my pictures?" "Huh?" The others let out in confusion as Jinyoung cast Serena a secretive look. He sidled up to her to whisper for her only to hear.
"The pictures you took at the sleepover." He said in Korean as Serena's eyes widened at being found out while the rest of the boys screamed to be let in on the secret. "What is it?!" "It's nothing!" Serena barked at them and tried to control her tone a few seconds later. "You don't need to know about it." Serena wiped the white board clean and set it to the side with all the other materials while she stared at the quartet. "Okay, boys! Lessons over. Go home. Buh-bye!" She waved at them with a smile plastered onto her face while the males looked at her in puzzlement while her smile dissolved. "Um, like go home. Run along to your other members and manager or something." "BamBam and Jackson hyung are with Seunghoon hyung about a new schedule in less than two weeks from now." Jinyoung informed her.
"Jaebeom hyung left the apartment in a hurry before we came over here." Youngjae added. "He didn't say where though." "You four can still go back home." Serena smiled while Yugyeom frowned at her. "But wouldn't you be alone, Jyongri noona?" "No, I won't be." "Don't lie. You need company." Mark countered as Serena shot him a look. "I do not and I quite like being alone, Mark." "I understand you a lot, Jyongri noona, I really do." Jinyoung agreed as Serena nodded in agreement in his direction. "Right, Jinyoung." She then let out a sigh knowing full well how this was going to turn out. "Anyways, I don't think I can get rid of you guys so easily. You can play games until everyone returns home." "Yay!" The rest cheered happily while turning around to play with Serena's game consoles. "Kids. I swear."
~~~~~~~
Melanie was nervously hanging out in the library of Seoul National University after she had called Jaebeom about Kyungtae who had shown up to one of her group study session at a table on the campus after her final class of the day out of the blue. She didn't know how the guy knew she would be at that specific location, but Kyungtae ended up having an altercation with two of her group members which were both males. The males students were taken to the school's infirmary whereas Kyungtae was escorted off the school's campus by security. Before Kyungtae was escorted he told Melanie that he would be waiting for her at the entrance or maybe somewhere close by and that he'll message her for further details. It sent chills down her spine and she contacted Jaebeom as soon as possible about it.
Of course that didn't stop Kyungtae from trying to reach her as much as possible when she didn't answer his calls or his messages when he was escorted. Melanie didn't want to miss any of Jaebeom's calls or messages if he did try to reply back to her. After ten plus calls and over fifty plus messages Melanie just had enough and told Kyungtae to leave her alone and that she wasn't interested in him at all. The way Kyungtae reacted was too calm for her liking and Melanie wished she hadn't told the others that she'll be fine and would go home to her sister's place. Melanie debated on telling her friends, but they had plans and she didn't want to get in their way. She messaged Serena, but her sister hadn't responded at all. So the only person she could think of was Jaebeom and contacted the idol with hesitation.
The female wandered down the aisles in anticipation when she felt her hand phone vibrate within her hand and she brought it up to her face to see who the caller was. Melanie answered it immediately. "Jeffrey!" She said in a relieved tone as a smile spread across her face. "Glad to hear that you're doing good." Jaebeom chuckled. "Are you still at the library?" He asked a second later as he was waiting at the entrance and saw no sign of Kyungtae within the vicinity. "I'm at the entrance." "Is he still out there?" Melanie asked in almost a whisper, but Jaebum heard her. "No. I don't see him around." "Okay. I'm leaving the library right now." She notified him as she did just that. "I'll call again when I-" Jaebeom interrupted her. "No. Stay on the line so that I can also hear you as you make your way to me, noona." "Okay, JB."
They continued to talk as Melanie hurried along and cautiously looked over her shoulders and surroundings when she made her way to the school's entrance and spotted a disguised Jaebeom once she made out his silhouette when he wave at her. Neither of them hung up until they actually reached the other. "Hi." Melanie greeted the idol as she impulsive wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "Thank you so much, JB." She thanked him in a relieved tone as Jaebeom hugged her back awkwardly. "Um, you're welcome, Chaewon noona." Melanie pulled back to look at him. "Sorry about that, but it just felt nice to do that after what I've been feeling for like almost two hours now. "It's okay." Jaebeom smiled as she placed both of his hands onto her shoulders. "I'm just glad you're alright and safe."
He gave her a once over. "Kyungtae didn't do anything else after he was escorted off of the campus, right?" Melanie shook her head. "No, nothing else, JB. Nothing after I finally told him off, too." Jaebeom nodded as he gave her another once over. "Alright, noona, I'll give him a talk or have Taesuk hyung or Chulsoo hyung talk to Kyungtae about it instead. Those guys will be able to handle it better than me due to my schedules." "Thanks again, JB." Melanie thanked him again as Jaebeom squeezed her shoulders in reassurance. "You're welcome. Now, let's just get you back to Jyongri noona's place and I hope you'll tell her about all of this." "I will, JB. Don't worry, I'll definitely tell, unnie, and the others about it." Melanie told him as the two began making their way to the subway station.
"Have you eaten yet? Do you want to get anything to eat or drink?" Jaebeom asked a few seconds later as Melanie nodded her head. "Yes, please. That would be great because I haven't eaten anything since this morning." She admitted with a sheepish laugh. "I was also scared and lazy to get anything at the cafeteria once the incident occurred." Jaebeom gave her a small smile. "We can stop by somewhere on the way." "Great. It would helped settled out the other nerves, too." Jaebeom glanced at her in concern. "Are you going to be able to sleep tonight?" "I'm sure I'll be fine, JB. If not, then I'll just call you so you can sing me to sleep." Melanie chuckled as Jaebeom broke into a soft smile "That wouldn't be such a bad idea if you need it." "Then I'll keep that in mind if I can't fall asleep."
The female sighed as the male glanced at her. "What's up?" "We weren't able to review our notes for the upcoming exams." Melanie admitted as Jaebeom chuckled. "What are you laughing at?" "It's nothing. Sorry. But um," Jaebeom let out a small cough. "How about I help you out?" "Do you know anything about business administration?" "Nope, not a thing. But I can read and asked you questions about them." "True." "So is that a yes or no?" "Let me think about it and I'll get back to you." Jaebeom rolled his eyes, but nodded. "Alright. Just let me know." "Will do, Jeffrey." Jaebeom eyed the female who cast him a large grin. "You know you like the name, too, or you wouldn't have chosen it." "I'm not saying anything." "You don't have to because I don't care anyways." "Wow." "Just kidding." "Sure you are."
Jaebum and Melanie boarded the Seoul National University Station on Line 2 and left Gwanak, stopped by at a burger joint in Seocho, and then finally arrived in Gangnam at the Cheongdam Station. When they made it to Serena's apartment Melanie invited Jaebeom inside as she had a feeling that the others were going to be there. When they did enter the apartment the duo witnessed a video game contest going on with everyone either cheering on Mark or Serena as they were currently playing Pokemon Stadium. Jaebeom then took Serena's spot as Melanie and her went to have a long talk. Serena made a called to their aunt Julisa for advice and Serena finally gave Melanie her pepper spray. Soon enough they were joined by Jackson and BamBam and stayed for an hour or two more and then called it night.

Warning: siblings playful fight. some curse words. i think that’s it.
yo, hey! i’m sorry that it’s another SKZ story, but hey it is what it is. lol and if you haven’t watched Detective Pikachu, then please do! it’s so cute. i didn’t put any spoilers in here if you haven’t watched it yet. lol but yeah, that’s about it and so happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
revised 9.13.20
"Yeon. Can you leave and go hang out somewhere else?" Minho asked his step-sister while standing in front of the TV blocking her view.
She swerved her head to look around him while speaking and not paying her step-brother any attention.
"No. I was here first. You're blocking my view of Xiao Nai and Bei Weiwei who are about to actually meet in real life."
Minho stepped into her line of sight and blocked her view once again.
"Can't you be like Seul and watch it in your room or something?"
"No. Why can't you go into your room and do whatever it is that you wanna do in there?"
Yeon paused the film and finally glanced up at Minho awaiting his response.
"I can't. I have friends over and it'll be too cramped." Minho answered.
"That's not my fault." Yeon replied indifferently while hugging her large stuffed rabbit that she was partially lying upon and continued to watch her movie. "Besides, the parents told us that we weren't supposed to have anyone over."
"Yeah, they're not here and I can do whatever I want." Minho remarked just as he tugged her plush doll out from under her and began to softly hit her with it. "Move so that I can have the living room, Yeon."
"Ugh, fuckin' Minho. No and stop it. You're so annoying."
She blocked the attacks while standing up to get even with him. Minho slightly feared for his life as he knew that Yeon doesn't hold back even if the other person was the opposite gender, but continued to attack his sister until the two tumbled to the ground and Yeon was now the one softly hitting her brother with the stuffed toy.
"You little shit. I took care of your cats for free and this is the appreciation I get?"
Yeon gave her brother one final little hit before standing up while huffing and letting the rabbit drop on top of him.
"Little asshole. Next time ask someone else to take care of them and I hope they charge you a lot."
Once Yeon had gotten all of that out of her system and looked in a random direction to not stare at Minho's body, her eyes met with a familiar face among the seven other people standing there. Yeon quickly averted her gaze out of embarrassment because she didn't know that he was friends with her brother.
"Fuck my life." She mumbled to herself before glaring down at Minho who had turned on his side while petting the stuffed rabbit to cast her a slight smirk.
"Why didn't you say that they were already here, you jerk."
Yeon lightly kicked Minho's thigh as he just laughed at her not responding back.
"I'ma eat all of your strawberry ice cream and tell Dad that it was you who broke his bookshelf and not Doongie."
"Ah, wait, Yeon. Please don't eat my ic-" Minho called out, but Yeon rushed off not letting him finish his sentence.
"Um, you good?" Seul asked her sister upon Yeon entering her bedroom without a knock.
"Minho's friends are here." Yeon informed her, but not answering her sister's question.
"He knows that Dad told us not to have anyone over, right?"
"He does, but he doesn't care."
"Well, that's Minho for you. Lucky for him since the parents will be gone for the week. Anyways, is that why you're in here now? Because you think his friends are cute." Seul teased as Yeon rolled her eyes and sat on Seul's desk chair as the younger female was occupying her own bed.
"Not even." Yeon denied. "I just embarrassed myself a while ago."
Seul laughed.
"What did you do?"
"I beat up Minho with Maki while his friends were quietly watching it all go down."
Seul laughed louder. Yeon wasn't amused and rolled her eyes until her sister's laughing died down.
"It's not that funny."
"That's pretty funny because that's so you."
"Shut up, but the dumb part is that I know one of them."
"Oh?" Seul let out in surprised. "Who? Do I know him?"
"Bang Chan."
Seul perked up upon hearing the name with a teasing look.
"Ohh, the one with that Australian accent, right?"
"Yes." Yeon confirmed while narrowing her eyes cautiously upon noticing her sister's expression. "What about it?"
"I have a classmate that has an Australian accent, too. I wonder if they're related."
"Oh okay. Same accent must mean they're related."
"You never know since I hardly come across other people with another accent." Seul stated before returning back to the previous top. "This is the same Bang Chan that made you a playlist when y'all first met so that you can listen to something while studying and even to sleep better, right?" Seul cooed playfully afterwards while Yeon rolled her eyes soon afterwards with a bored look.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean anything."
"Yeah, sure. It's been like what? Four years that y'all met?"
"Yes and I wasn't aware he Chan knew Minho. Then again, I never met any of Minho's friends. Also Chan and I only hung out at school, but it's weird because Minho attends the same one. Even you go there."
"Yeah, but I don't hang out with you at school either."
"True."
"Anyways, Yeon," Seul dismissed the current topic an went back to the previous one, "You can't hide in here forever. I have to run errands in a bit."
"What errands?"
"I need to get supplies for an assignment for one of my classes. It's due by the end of this week."
"Wow. Always last minute with you."
"Yeah, of course. You know how I roll. Anyways, do you wanna come with me then?"
"No." Yeon quickly declined with a disgusted look. "I hate shopping with you."
"Oh, c'mon. I hate going to places by myself."
"You're seriously just picking up stuff. It's different."
"Yeah, but I'll probably need help carrying the stuff."
"Nah. That's your fault. Should buy yourself one of those wagon things."
"You were supposed to get that for me for Christmas."
"Oh, right. I'll get it for you later."
"Mmhmm. I've been waiting for like two years now."
"You'll get it when you get it. Why not ask Minho's friends to help you out?"
"No. That's weird. I don't know them. Anyways, you wanna come or not?"
When Yeon and Seul were ready to leave the duo had walked out into the living room towards the door. Since Seul had walked out first, she happened to noticed one of Minho's friends who also spotted her before a goofy expression appeared on his face. The said male quickly rose from his spot on the floor before quickly making his way towards Seul. The rest of the boys curiously watched their friend stand up and headed towards the female duo. Seul with a small smirk pulled Yeon in front of her which resulted in the male to envelop the older sister instead within his embrace as his eyes had closed upon contact.
"Seul! I've missed you." He cooed with affection as Yeon silently freaked out and tried to squirm out of his hold upon the unexpected skinship from the random male.
"Sorry, but you got the wrong person." Yeon told him a second later causing the male to open his eyes and stared wide-eyed at Yeon apologetically.
"I'm so sorry."
Hyunjin instantly released Yeon causing her to stumble away from him before catching her balance and steadying herself a moment later. Hyunjin then faced the right person and pouted at her with sad eyes.
"That was not funny, Seul."
"Don't be such a baby." Seul said with a laugh. "You'll live, Hyunjin."
"You guys know each other?" Minho asked directing the question at his friend and little sister causing the two to turned their attention towards Minho.
"I'm her boyfriend." Hyunjin answered proudly with a large smile while Seul replied with a small smile and nonchalant tone. "He's a classmate."
Hyunjin's jaw dropped in disbelief as he faced his girlfriend.
"Did you just say I was your classmate and not your boyfriend?"
"Yeah. Technically, you are also my classmate." Seul stated indifferently before gesturing at a few of Minho's friends. "So is Felix, Seungmin, Jisung, and Jeongin."
"Hi, Seul!" The four greeted her happily while coming over to the female to give her hugs like they usually would do upon greeting each other.
"Hey, hey, that's my girlfriend. No touchy. Back away." Hyunjin huffed as he pushed his friends away with a playful smack once they got done hugging Seul and had move back to settling themselves in the living room again. "When did y'all become friends without me knowing?"
"Honestly, I didn't even know that y'all were friends. It's kinda weird now that I see all of you gathered in my home."
"You're telling me." Minho commented with a disgusted look.
Yeon shot Minho a look.
"Well, we wouldn't have to if you just didn't invite anyone over."
"Well, technically, I didn't, but now that I think about it you need friends, anyways."
"Wow, what a jerk. I have friends and it's weird if I become friends with your friends, too."
"My friends are a whole lot better than yours."
"You keep it up, Minho, I'ma tell Mom that it was you who made all the photo frames cracked and that it wasn't Soonie and Dori."
"Fine, Yeon, but I thought I could deal with one of them knowing my sister, but now five more of them knowing the other sister. Bleh. It's too much."
"You'll live. You have nine lives, anyways."
Seul brushed him off with a chuckle.
"Psh, I wish. Since when were you dating my friend, Seul?"
"I didn't know he was your friend. Actually, I've never met any of your friends until now."
"Yeah. I didn't know that this Seul was the sister you were talking about, Minho, that was the same Seul who was my girlfriend." Hyunjin commented as he clung onto Seul with a happy expression.
"Anyways," Seul interjected while letting her boyfriend hold her for a bit before directing her attention onto her brother, "Yeon and I are gonna go shopping right now and so we'll be back later."
"Oh, then buy me food." Minho tells them nonchalantly.
"Buy your own food." Yeon retorts with a narrow look at her brother. "Seul needs to buy school supplies and that's why I'm accompanying her since she hates going to places by herself."
"Oh. Is it for Mr. Heo's class?" Felix pipes from his spot. "I'll come, too, since I gotta buy stuff for his class, too."
"Go buy yourself." Hyunjin rejected the idea. "I'll go with Seul instead."
"Okay, cool. Go to the store with your boyfriend, Seul." Yeon stated with a smile. "I don't need to go now."
"Then you buy the food, Yeon." Minho repeated with a smirk. "You're the oldest and Dad left his card with you."
Yeon walked towards Minho while pulling out her father's credit card from one of her pockets and handed it to Minho.
"Just call delivery. I'll be busy."
"Doing what?"
"Watching Detective Pikachu."
"By yourself?" Minho asked with a judging expression.
Yeon cast him a 'duh' face.
"Yeah, obviously."
"Ohh, let's all go watch a movie together!" Jeongin exclaimed with a bright smile.
"I agree with Jeongin. Let's go watch a movie together." Jisung agreed with excited eyes. "We can finally watch Endgame."
"Hold up, Jisung,"  Seungmin interjected himself into the conversation, "I thought we were supposed to play games and hangout here?"
"We can do that another time, Woojin." A third person spoke wearing all black. "Let's all go watch Endgame since we're all free right now."
"Changbin's right." Felix said with a nod. "We can play games after watching Endgame."
"Ohh, yeah, I agree to what Felix says." Hyunjin inputted right after. "Let's do that instead."
"I'm going shopping, not to the movies." Seul stated giving her boyfriend a slightly annoyed look. "You can do that with your friends without me."
"We can go supplies shopping after the movies" He reasoned with a gentle smile.
Seul shrugged not minding it either way now that she thought about it.
"Sure, I guess."
"I'm pretty sure that Yeon said she wanted to watch Detective Pikachu and not Endgame." Chan reasoned giving them a curious look. "I don't think she wants to watch what we want to watch."
Everyone turned to face Yeon who at that moment had just turned to look over her shoulder to make sure that no one had noticed that she was trying to leave the place. She let out an embarrassed laugh upon being caught while catching the eye of Chan who shot her an amused smile who's been quiet this whole time.
"What?" She asked feeling like she had missed out on something.
"So what do you say, Yeon?" Chan asked her all of a sudden.
"Say to what?" She questioned now all confused upon not paying attention to their conversation earlier.
Chan smiled as he repeated the two options.
"I know that you want to see Detective Pikachu, but the other boys minus your brother wants to watch Endgame. So which one do you say to?"
"Hello. How may I help you?" The staff asked Yeon upon going up to the window at the cinemas although she glanced to her right upon seeing Chan standing there right beside her as well.
She ignored him and paid her attention onto the worker.
"Uh yeah, hi. Can I have eight tickets for Avengers: Endgame and two tickets for Detective Pikachu, please?"
The staff clarified the information before confirming the correct amount of tickets for said movies. Yeon handed her card towards the staff, but she also saw that Chan had also offered his as well. The staff looked between the two wondering which one to take. Yeon reached out her other hand to gently push Chan's arm away.
"This one, please." Yeon moved her card forward, but Chan did the same thing after getting his arm pushed away.
"Actually, this one instead please."
"Just choose whichever one." Yeon said in hopes that the staff would take her card in the end.
The staff didn't as Chan's card was taken instead to pay for the tickets. She shot him a look.
"Why did you do that?"
"My treat." He answered with a smile while taking back his card once the transaction went through.
Before Yeon could countered his reply, the staff spoke again.
"Here you go. Please enjoy the movie."
"Thank you and will do." Chan thanked the worker while taking the tickets.
He walked back to the group of nine as Yeon followed behind a bit reluctantly.
"So Yeon's watching Detective Pikachu and I'm assuming the other person watching it with her is you, Seul, right?"
Chan asked upon handing one of the two tickets for Detective Pikachu to Seul.
"Yup, that's me." Seul confirmed as she took the ticket from Chan. "Thank you."
"You're not gonna watch Endgame with me?" Hyunjin said to Seul with a pout.
"Nope," Seul shook her head with a smile, "But have fun with just the nine of you."
"Okay, but next time let's just come back when it's just the two of us."
"Sure, Hyunjin."
"Alright, lovebirds. Continue this another time when we're not here." Seungmin interjected a bit disgusted by his friend's lovey-dovey behavior with his girlfriend.
"I think it's cute to see Hyunjin like this." Chan commented with a dad-like smile.
"Okay, snacks time!" Changbin exclaimed happily as he rushed to the concession stand first with everyone else in tow.
Yeon told the group to order whatever they wanted and that she'll pay at the end when it was her turn. She even informed the other people behind them that they were a large group and to go to the other registers when they were free. After doing so, Yeon stood off to the side to hear everyone's order while memorizing all the items so that nothing was forgotten and everything ordered was there and be properly paid for.
Once everything was confirmed with everyone else getting a drink of their own while also sharing several of the snacks among them, Yeon finally stepped up to the cashier and put in her own order. It wasn't until a moment later when she realized that it was already paid for when a card and receipt was handed towards her as she hadn't had the chance to give her own card as payment. She stared at the items with a puzzled look before seeing a hand reach out to pluck them from the worker. Yeon looked over to see Chan smiling at her like earlier.
"When did you give them your card?" Yeon whispered to him while standing off to the side to await her drink and popcorn.
"Way before you went up just now and right after Jeongin." Chan replied with another smile.
"Chan, that was like six people ago." Yeon deadpanned with a frown.
"Cheer up, Yeon. It's fine. Remember, I told you it was my treat."
"But you already paid for the tickets, Chan. I don't get why you're treating in the first place."
"It's fine. C'mon, let's go catch up with the others."
Chan took her things with another smile while motioning his head to their large group who were waiting for them. Once again, Yeon reluctantly trailed after him with a sigh while becoming antsy with him already paying twice for their large group. Chan handed Yeon her items when she finally caught up to them.
"Okay. Since Detective Pikachu ends earlier than Endgame, we'll text you once it's over and meet up somewhere." Minho informed his sisters. "Sounds good?"
"Yeah." The sister's agreed with a nod and thumbs up.
"Okay. See ya later. Enjoy your movie!”
The two groups bid one another goodbye while parting different ways.
"Aww, Pikachu is so cute with his little hat and what not." Seul commented once she and Yeon left the show room. "That was a cute movie."
"I know right. He was seriously adorable." Yeon agreed with a chuckle. "I kinda expected what was gonna happen earlier in the movie because I read the synopsis of the game it was based on, but it was still unexpected at the end. So still good for a live adaptation of it. They did good."
"Yeah, they sure did. By the way, do you know what that one Pokemon was near the end. The pink one?"
"The pink one? Oh the big pink and fluffy one, right?"
"Yeah."
"Ahh, no, but I'll look it up later for you.'
"Okay, because I don't remember seeing that one and it was kinda cute. Reminded me of Jiggly Puff or that one that hangs out with Nurse Joy."
"It was cute and fluffy, but doesn't look like a Chansey or Blissey."
The duo stopped walking and stayed off to the side while looking about the mall. The pair wondered what they should do while waiting for the boys.
"So, what do you wanna do next?" Yeon asked her sister.
Seul shrugged before answering. "I dunno. Wanna get ice cream?"
"So, does Chan like you?" Seul asked Yeon once the duo settled at a table after ordering their ice cream.
Yeon almost choked on her ice cream, but recovered shortly afterwards.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because he paid for our tickets and food."
"What does that have to do with him liking me?"
"Because you didn't pay even though you wanted to."
"You saw?"
"Mmhmm."
Seul then cast her sister a mischievous smile.
"I think he really likes you. I just feel it in my jellies."
Yeon rolled her eyes at the mention of the phrase, but a small smile graced her lips upon hearing it.
"Oh, I'll take that as a sign that you like him."
"What sign?"
"You just smiled."
"I was smiling about the jellies part."
"Yeah, sure. Anyways, do you like him?"
"And if I do?"
"Nothing." Seul said with a shrug. "It just make sense."
Yeon rolled her eyes and directed the conversation elsewhere.
"So, your little boyfriend is a friend of Minho’s. How do you feel about that?"
"It is what it is, but it is a little weird."
"I don't blame you. Anyways, let's go buy you your school supplies so that we can leave once the boys are done with their movie."
"Okay."
Yeon and Seul had just stepped out of the store they were in to be bombarded by a worrying Minho and Hyunjin coming up to them upon having spotted the female pair. Well, Hyunjin worrying more about Seul than Yeon.
"Yah! I've been calling and messaging you like crazy. Why didn't you check your phone?" Hyunjin asked with an exasperated tone directed at Seul.
"Oh, my bad. It was in my bag. I forgot to take it off silent mode." Seul answered with a neutral tone not feeling bad whatsoever.
"At least you could've text us where you guys were gonna be." Minho reasoned as Yeon replied him with a weird look. "You could've tracked Seul's location since you both have iPhones."
"I did when I remembered that."
"Okay, there you go. We're fine."
Yeon then reached into her back pocket, pulled out her father's card, and offered it to Minho. Minho took it with a puzzled look.
"Why are you giving me this?"
"Use it or whatever. I'm going home."
"Why?"
"I'm tired."
"Oh, then feed my cats when you get home."
"Feed your own cats."
"I'm not going home, but you are."
"Only because I was originally only suppose to come help Seul with her school stuff." Yeon reasoned with an annoyed tone. "Also because I don't wanna do anything else now that I finally got the chance to watch Detective Pikachu. Basically, my day out is over now."
"I'll be nice, please."
"Fine. Just because I'm nice and a good sister."
"Thank you, Yeon." Minho thanked her sincerely and she dismissed him indifferently.
"Yeah, yeah. You're welcome."
"Oh, since you're going back home then, Yeon, can you take these back for me?" Seul asked while handing her sister all of her shopping bags.
"Why?"
"Hyunjin wants to go on a date now."
Yeon cast Hyunjin an amused look.
"Really?"
Hyunjin nodded with a shy look.
"If you don't mind?"
"Why would I? Go on your little date then."
Yeon took Seul's stuff within her grasps as Hyunjin happily dragged Seul away somewhere, but not before thanking Yeon.
"Thank you so much, Yeon! I owe you one!"
Yeon just wave them off not really caring if Hyunjin did owe her one or not. The rest of the group watched the pair until their figures disappeared from sight.
"He's so in love and it's disgusting." Jeongin commented with a slight shiver.
Felix placed an arm around Jeongin with a nod.
"That it is, but I feel sorry for Seul though since she has to deal with him majority of the time now."
"True, but at least we now don't have to deal with his affectionate ass." Jisung agreed with a relieved grin.
"Anyways," Yeon interjected as all the males' attention turned towards her, "Y'all have fun and make sure that Minho doesn't lose the card or his ass won't be able to care for his cats ever again. Okay, later!"
Yeon cast them one last smile with a small wave before swiftly turning around and walking away from the group of eight with a slight bounce to her steps. Yeon was casually humming to herself until she felt and heard another presence behind her. She rolled her eyes, but didn't turn back already knowing who it was.
"Y'know, you're just making it even more obvious, Bang Chan."
She heard Chan chuckled from behind her before he matched her pace and was now walking alongside her.
"Making what obvious?" Chan asked curiously while glancing over at her every now and then.
"How much you wanna bother me now that we're outside school."
"Is that so?"
"Mmhmm. First you paid for the tickets and then you paid for the snacks." She reminded him.
"I don't see how that's relevant though."
"It just is. Anyways, don't forget I remember how much you wanted to hangout outside of school, but couldn't."
"Because you always came up with an excuse on why we couldn't."
"Those weren't excuses." She shot him a slight glare before facing forward again. "They were legitimate reasons."
"Oh yeah, I'm sure they were." He agreed with a sarcastic and playful tone.
"They were." Yeon persisted casting him a look, but turning away shortly afterwards while mumbling to herself. "Jerk."
Chan laughed having caught the word, but didn't say anything as the pair excited the mall and were on their way to the metro station.
"So how was Detective Pikachu?" Chan asked Yeon a moment later.
"Good. It was a good movie. He reminded me of you." Yeon casually voiced out without thinking much of it.
Chan let out a disbelief laugh.
"Really? How?"
"Y'all are both cute one minute and then weird the next. Also, you're both clingy in a certain type of way that isn't openly obvious."
"So what you're saying is that you think I'm cute, weird, and clingy?"
"Basically."
"Wow, Yeon. I didn't know you saw me like that."
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me."
"I do know that you really enjoy the playlist I made for you on Spotify."
"Because you have good taste in music and it's versatile."
"Oh, thank you, Yeon." Chan thanked her as he wasn't expecting her to compliment him like that since he just wanted to tease her for fun.
"You're welcome. Thanks for making me one. It has helped a lot."
Chan suddenly turned shy, but still thanked Yeon while trying to brush if off.
"Ahh, thanks, but it's not a big deal. Glad that it helped out."
"Mmhmm."
The two grew quiet as they went about the metro station to find the right line to get them home and stepping into the right subway compartment. The two sat side by side one another before Yeon shot Chan a slightly annoyed look.
"So are you gonna accompany all the way home before you head back to the others?"
"Hmm, nope."
"Oh, then what are you gonna do after?"
"Chill with you until the others get back. Maybe we can watch a movie and relax."
"Oh?" Yeon let out with a suggestive tone until Chan slightly panicked with a chuckle and tried to explain himself.
"Ah, no, Yeon. I didn't mean it like that."
"Then how was it supposed to be meant, Chan?"
"Just chill and probably listen to music or watch a movie or whatever you feel like doing since it's your place. We can play games, too. Just those type of things."
Yeon laughed at Chan's flustered appearance as he explained himself before her laughter died down and she tiredly replied back to him.
"Anyways, Chan, I really don't wanna do anything with you or the others when they get back. I'm going to sleep when I get home."
"Aww, it's not even six yet and you're already retiring for the day?"
"Shut up, Bang Chan. I can do whatever I want. You're not my mom."
Yeon jerked her head away from him to lean it against the window like a child. Chan chuckled at her behavior before pulling his earbuds from his pockets and placing one airpod into his ear and the other in Yeon's ear. She jerked away from the item and looked at Chan weirdly before noticing what it was.
"Ahh, sorry, Chan, but I can't wear those. They don't fit in my ears properly." Yeon explained to him with an apologetic look. "They always pop out for some reason."
"Is that an excuse or an actual reason, Yeon?" Chan asked with an amused tone.
"It's a real reason." Yeon pouted without realizing it. "That's why I don't wear earbuds or something similar, but headphones instead."
"I don't think I believe you."
"I don't care if you do or not."
"C'mon, Yeon. It's a long ride and there's a new song I want you to listen to."
"Can't you just add it to the playlist?"
"Yes, but music always helps every situation and needs to be share constantly."
Chan still held out the other piece for her to take and Yeon let out a sigh before taking it in her left hand after moving the other bags to her right one.
"Fine, whatever you say, Chan."
Chan smiled giddily as he scrolled through his phone to find a song while Yeon placed the airpod into her ear, but kept her hand by her ear to hold the small item in place. She didn't want it to fall out along the ride and lose something that wasn't hers. The music softly started to fill into her left ear as Yeon's attention was drawn to the view passing by outside. She wanted to avoid looking at Chan since she felt like her face would reveal her shy demeanor upon being in their current position.
Chan fiddle with his phone some more before contently putting it away and glanced at Yeon a second later. He realized that she wasn't making up an excuse and was actually holding the airpod against her ear with her hand. As Yeon watched the view outside, Chan also glanced out the window to gaze at the now darkening view, but his eyes lingered every so often to admire Yeon beside him with a soft smile gracing his lips.
"Stop looking at me like that." Yeon mumbled only for Chan to hear upon noticing his gaze on her due to the reflection of the windows.
"Like what?" Chan mused not being phased about having been caught.
"Like you're admiring me or whatever."
Yeon tried to keep her tone neutral, but deep down inside she was becoming fluster by his constant stares and soft smiles. She still couldn't face him properly and only watched his reflection talk to her.
"What if I am?" Chan admitted still with the amused tone to his voice.
"Can we like not do this while riding the metro? It's weird."
"No, Yeon. It's easier because you can't run away."
Yeon swiftly faced him with a confused look.
"Run away from what? And don't tell me about it having to do something with my feelings for you, too, and all that lovey-dovey stuff."
"I didn't have to. You just did."
Yeon was about to deny it, but realized she did and closed her mouth. She decided to say something else to Chan instead before turning her gaze away from him.
"Shut up."
Chan laughed before speaking again when his laughter died down.
"So do you wanna watch a movie just the two of us next time?"
"Like in as a date?" Yeon asked for confirmation while turning her attention on to Chan.
"Yeah, like a date." Chan clarified.
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because then you'll pay again and I won't be able to do so."
"Okay then, how about this. We alternate every time we go out."
"You really just want an excuse to hang out with me don't you?"
"Mmhmm, but it's not really an excuse if we start dating because I don't need an excuse to see my girlfriend."
"Ew."
Yeon elbowed him away as her hands were unable to slap at him. Chan laughed as he nudged her playfully.
"I know that made your heart jumped a little despite how you reacted."
"Shut up, Bang Chan, and just let me suffer in peace."
"Why suffer alone when we can do it together, Yeon?"
"Because I don't think you'll live to see another."
"I'll take my chances."
"Ugh. I wished I never sat next to you on the first day we met."
"Oh why not? I only passed that class because you shared your notes with me."
"You passed just like everyone else in that class because I was the only one who actually took notes for it that made sense for y'all to comprehend and shared it."
"To which I'm totally grateful for, Yeon."
"Whatever. Don't talk to me until we get home."
"Aww, but I thought we were just growing closer to one another just now."
"I can't handle you right now."
"That's just mean, Yeon."
"I'm gonna move to another spot and let you suffer by yourself if you don't stop."
"Okay, okay."
Chan relented with a defeated laugh as Yeon glared at him, but it softened into a playful glare a moment later upon seeing Chan's smiling face.
"Fine, Chan. We can have a movie date this weekend." Yeon said already giving in to the male.
"At a theater or one of our places?"
"Wherever as long as no one else tags along."
"Okay. An actual movie theater where I'll pay it is then."
"I didn't mention about you paying, Chan."
"I know, Yeon." Chan said with a smug look as Yeon just shook her head knowing she wasn't going to win with this whole thing.
"Okay, yeah, sure, fine, whatever, Chan. You win."
Chan laughed upon hearing her response before speaking.
"It was never about winning, Yeon. It was just about you acknowledging me."
Yeon didn't respond with a shake of her head in disbelief of what Chan had just said, but with a slight smirk and on impulse she quickly hooked their arms together before the airpod in her ear could fall out. Placing her left hand against her ear again, Yeon faced the window to stare at the scenery once more with a soft smile upon her lips.
As for Chan, his heart thudded against his chest at Yeon's sudden skinship before glancing at her. He saw how shy she looked after doing so, but didn't say anything. Instead a slow smile crept onto his face as he once again quietly admired her profile and the view of the night sky as it passed on by.

More Time
Pairing: PTG’s Wooseok x OC [Melanie] || PTG’s Yeo One x OC [Serena] Genre: slice of life, slight fluff Word Count: 3,208 Summary: After spending some time and learning of feelings, the boys just need more time to express things further. part one {The Night’s Not Over Yet}
Warning: none … just a few swear words and very minor violence and empty threats (lol) not proofread and i wrote different two years ago than i do now… so yeah.
PTG was actually the first group where i would actually write a part two for my one-shots because of my sister. it was a deep motivation back then for me to write. kinda crazy. i miss writing like that and for PTG. just haven’t written then in a while and i think it had to do with how things had turned out like last year. anyways, happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
Once the Ferris Wheel came to an end both couples exited their carts one by one. Serena and Changgu got out first with Changgu assisting Serena. "Watch your step, Serena." He warned while holding onto her hands still as Serena walked out carefully. "Thanks, Changgu." "Of course." He shot her a smile as she smiled back while the two made their way away from the ride. "So what do you wanna do next?" He asked her and Serena shrugged her shoulders. "How about we just walk around for now?" "Sure." He grinned as Changgu still held onto Serena's hand and she just let him for now not wanting to be mean or awkward about it.
Meanwhile, Melanie watched as Wooseok struggled to get out of the cart due to his height with a laugh. "Hey, Melanie, don't laugh." He grumbled once he finally got out and Melanie stepped out a second later with Wooseok's help. "Thanks, Wooseok." She thanked him still with a smile on her face. "You're welcome." The male eyed her. "It wasn't that funny." "I know." She laughed as he groaned, but recovered. "So what do you wanna do now?" "Um, let's go play games. You can win me a giraffe or something." "Why a giraffe?" "It just popped in my head." "Alright, leggo." The two made their way to the first game booth they saw hand in hand.
"So, how long are you going to hold my hand for?" Serena asked once the two have been walking for several minutes now. "Hmm, I dunno. I quite like it." Changgu grinned as he gave her a hand a small squeeze before letting out a loud laugh. "I figured that you'll run away if I like go or something." "Stop. I won't." Serena said in a neutral tone, but the possibility was still there and Changgu knew that. "Yeah, I'm not going to risk that. Your sister told me some things." "Like what?" "Just some things that concerns how you behave when you're around people you like." "Yeah, right." She scoffed, but caught Changgu's knowing gaze. "Shut up."
Serena tried to move on ahead, but Changgu pulled her back to his side with a laugh. "Don't worry, Serena. I think it's kinda cute." "Psh, yeah right, Changgu. Maybe I should be conscious around you." She teased with a nonchalant face as Changgu's face fell. "What do you mean? What did I do?" "I remember Hongseok saying something about a stalker, so maybe you're not who you say you are and you're just waiting for the kill." "Oh, right, Serena. I'm going to kidnap you and locked you up from everyone else so that you'll always be with me no matter what." He said with a roll of his eyes as Serena laughed. "Are you that obsessed with me?"
"I'm not obsessed. I was just curious since someone didn't want to talk to me even though I always tried to initiate conversation with her, but she would always make excuses and leave me hanging." "What? I did not. That's a total lie." "Sure it is." "I hardly ever hung out with you guys so you're a stalker." "I'm not a stalker." Changgu rolled his eyes as Serena restrained a laugh from erupting. "Anyways, that's not important. What is important is that we're hanging out now and you're actually talking to me." "Because I have to, Changgu." "Don't act like I'm keeping you prisoner and holding you here against your will, Serena."
Serena held up their joined hands while pointing at it with her other hand to prove a point. "This is a date, Serena. Of course I'm going to hold my date's hand while walking around the amusement park." Changgu reasoned with a laugh as Serena shook her head with a laugh as well although she eyed him a moment later. "Who said this was a date?" "I figured I could call it that for the time being since the night's not over yet and that I still got time for you to admit your feelings for me." "Wow. Besides I don't have any feelings for you." "Then your sister lied to me?" "Ugh, I hate her." Serena grumbled. "Be spilling my secrets and shit."
Changgu was about to say something, but he suddenly felt her hand slipping from out of his as she ran off while calling out their other friends' names. He watched as their other group of friends were only a few feet away, but had scrambled away in different directions upon seeing and hearing Serena coming after them. "I'ma kick all of your asses when I get my hands on you!" Serena screamed after them as she wondered who she should go after with Changgu chasing after her a second later with a shake of his head and let out a chuckle when she targeted her sight on Hongseok. "Need to go save him. I do owe him one."
Melanie had just beaten the dart game winning herself her own medium sized giraffe plush doll. The game operator handed her the blue toy as Wooseok watched the exchange a bit envious. "Isn't he cute?" Melanie said as she held up the doll up for Wooseok to see. "It is, but how were you able to hit any of the targets when I barely could?" Melanie grinned at him with a sly look. "You have to know how to play by their rules and around it. My brothers taught me some things." Wooseok rubbed the back of his neck with a confused look while the two began walking around again. "What rules are those? I didn't know they had rules."
The female shook her head as she snuggled the doll closer to her while Wooseok looked at the doll a bit envious which Melanie caught his look. "Are you jealous of Blue, Wooseok?" She teased as Wooseok looked at her weirdly. "Who's Blue?" Melanie waved the animal doll around as Wooseok scoffed. "Yeah, right, Melanie. I ain't jealous of some stuffed doll." "Oh, I see. Okay then." She said as she walked on ahead with a skip in her step while speaking to the doll to teased the male some more. "Hey, Blue, so what do you wanna do? Do you wanna ride the Tunne of Love with me?"
Wooseok rolled his eyes as he caught up with Melanie and took a firm hold onto her free hand that she had purposely left for him to take a hold of. "You are not going to the Tunnel of Love with a stuffed giraffe, Melanie." He stated in a matter-of-fact tone as she side-glanced him. "Oh, Wooseok, do you wanna go with me instead?" The question made him flustered leaving him unable to speak. Melanie was about to tease him some more when she felt someone brushed passed her abruptly before grabbing a hold of her shoulders and hid behind her. "She's not following me, is she?" The person asked as she turned to see who it was. "Jinho?"
"Who do you mean by 'she', Jinho? Did something happen?" Wooseok asked once he and Melanie stopped walking and Jinho moved away from hiding behind Melanie. "Ah, I'm safe." Jinho left out a relieved breath before looking at them with a smile. "Serena was chasing after us earlier, but I think once we split up she chose to go after only one of us." "And I think I know who that may be." Melanie laughed already figuring out who her sister ran after. "Who?" The male duo asked as she grinned at them. "Hongseok, duh." "Why?" Wooseok asked confused as Jinho laughed. "Because she's closer to him and knew it was his idea." "Yeah." Melanie agreed.
Jinho then noticed the pair's held hands and took a few steps back with a giddy look. "I'll just let you two continued on with your date now." "It's not a date." Melanie confirmed as Wooseok sulked upon hearing that. "He hasn't officially asked, so we're just hanging out as friends for now." Jinho chuckled with a shake of his head. "I'm assuming that you both confessed, but you're just giving him a hard time, right, Mel?" "Maybe." She cooed while holding the giraffe before handing it to Jinho. "What do you want me to do with this?" "Give it to Yuto to hold onto it since he has the other stuff."
"Melanie and I have to continue on our date, Jinho, so if you don't mind we'll be leaving now." Wooseok interjected giving Jinho a curt nod before leading Melanie away with Jinho chuckling due to Wooseok's behavior before heading in the opposite direction in hopes of running into the others. "Never thought of him as the jealous type." Meanwhile Melanie nudged Wooseok in the ribs. "Don't be jealous. We're just friends and I see him as a brother." "I'm not jealous." "Uh huh." "I'm not." "Okay then. I'll just hang out with Jin-" Melanie was interrupted as Wooseok pulled her closer to him. "You're staying with me." "Ooh, possessive much?"
"No." Wooseok answered before casting her a wide smile. "I just need to make sure that it's just you and me hanging out. I don't need the others to distract you from me." "Oh, I see." Melanie said nonchalantly before pointing to his left. "Oh, look. Yanan and Shinwon are over there and heading this way." "Where?" He asked alert as Melanie slipped her hand from out of his and ran off but not before turning around to stick her tongue out at him playfully. "Just kidding!" And she turned back around and ran for her life with Wooseok finally registering what just happened. "Hey! Melanie!" All he could hear was her laughter as he chased her.
"Hongseok!" Serena still chased after Hongseok who was surprised that the female was able to keep up with him. "Serena, just go back to your boyfriend. I'm sorry!" Hongseok said out of desperation to distract his female friend so that he could make his escape with the last bit of energy he still had left in him. "He is not my boyfriend, Seok! I'm gonna b-" Serena yelling was interrupted in mid-sentence before she could actually tackle her friend because she felt arms wrapped around her waist and lifting her in the air causing Hongseok to make his escape while shouting out a 'thank you' towards Changgu in helping him.
"Gotcha, Serena, finally." Changgu said in a breathy tone as he still held onto a struggling Serena within his arms. "Why, Changgu?" Serena cried in a groaning kind of way when she realized what had just happened. "You let Hongseok get away! I thought you said I could torture the guys as much as I want? What a liar." Changgu laughed as he set Serena down and turned her to face him, but continued to hold onto her. "I'm sorry, but I owe Hongseok for helping me with getting a one on one with you." "Ugh, so dumb. You couldn't save him another time?" Serena made a face as Changgu shook his head with a smile. "Nope."
"Just for you, but how annoying." Serena sulked as Changgu laughed again while pulling her closer against him. "Yeah, sorry not sorry as I really do like how it ended up with us being right now." Serena took noticed of their situation and she eyed him suspiciously. "I really do think you have some sort of obsession about me." "Please, Serena, don't think of it like that." Changgu laughed in disbelief. "You're totally misunderstanding me." Serena laughed while patting his shoulder in reassurance as she was enjoying making the male a bit fluster like he has been doing to her earlier tonight. "I'm teasing, Changgu, but it's kinda cute."
Changgu eyed her upon realizing what she was doing. "This is just a little payback for everything that has happened tonight, isn't it?" "Of course." She grinned before she tried to wiggle out of his grasp. "Um, could you let me go, please? This is kinda awkward." "What? Why? I thought we were getting along nicely." Changgu pouted as Serena rolled her eyes while unconsciously revealing her feelings for him. "This is too much skin-ship even if I like you, Changgu." His ears perked up upon hearing her words as he moved his face closer to hers with a cheeky grin. "Um, did I just hear you say that you like me, Serena?"
"I think you heard wrong." Serena denied as she backed away, but of course that was futile while Changgu continued to grin even more than he already was. "I think not." "Ugh, fine, whatever, Changgu. I actually do like you." Serena re-confirmed while avoiding eye contact with Changgu. "Now let me go so I can go home and suffocate myself with a pillow." Changgu laughed as he removed his arms from around her, but held onto her hands instead. "You're really cute and different, Serena. It's one of the reasons on why I like you." "Yeah, well, your eyes are your best features that made me like you." Serena confessed still avoiding eye contact.
"Oh, really?" Changgu amused as he continued to speak. "Why don't you looked into them as you say that again, Serena?" "Can I not, Changgu?" "No." He chuckled when he heard and saw her huffed in slight annoyance, but Serena slowly directed her eyes into staring into his with a shy demeanor. "I really like your eyes." Changgu giggled as he looked down before looking back into Serena's eyes with seriousness. "I really hope you don't take me for granted, Serena." "I guess we're not gonna work out then, Changgu." Serena continued her sarcastic teasing, but Changgu's expression turned into one of an angry pout.
Serena sighed as she gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. "I'm really sorry, Changgu. I really need to watch what I say and how I say it. I'll make sure to not come off so hostile and weird towards you, Changgu. It's been awhile since I've last dated and so I don't know how to act or behave with the opposite sex that isn't in a friendly and brotherly way." "Don't you mean the sisterly way?" Changgu corrected as Serena laughed with a shake of her head. "No. I'm pretty sure you've seen how I am around Hongseok and Jinho and that's not sisterly at all." "I have and that's true." Changgu said as a smile broke out onto his face.
"It's okay. We'll work it out since we're getting to know one another face to face now." He smiled as she returned it. "Alright, but no more asking my sister about me." "Unless it's about something that concerns like anniversaries, birthdays, gifts, and etc." "Please don't. You can still ask me." "Then it won't be a surprise, Serena." "Then we won't last long." "Don't do that to me." Changgu pouted as Serena chuckled. "I couldn't help it, but okay, Changgu." "Good. Now about an actual date with grilled pork belly?" "Just for you, but you're taking me home after since I came with my sister." "Yay! More time for our date." "Sure."
"Melanie! Where are you?" Wooseok called after Melanie who was now playing hide and seek with the male and watched his every move as he tried to find her. "This wasn't at all what I was expecting tonight would turn out like." He muttered as he scanned the area for the female, but couldn't spot her with the other people and stands around them. "Is this what she does with the others when they hang out?" He asked to the air with an annoyed look. "Play games?" "No, just for you." Melanie answered from next to him as she held up an index finger so that it would poke Wooseok's cheek when he turned around and it did.
"Gotcha." She giggled as Wooseok moved her hand away from his face with a slight frown directed in her direction. "Are you done playing games, Melanie?" Melanie sighed as she caught the annoyed tone in his voice. "Yeah. I'll just let my sister know that I'm ready to leave to head back home. We can wait for the others at the front entrance, too." Wooseok's panicked and wondered if what he had said made Melanie want to go home early. "Wait, why? There's still a lot of games and rides to play and go on." "Oh, I thought you were done hanging out with me since you seemed annoyed." Melanie stated with a nonchalant look.
"Ahh, yeah, that." Wooseok shot her a sheepish look while rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "Sorry. I was just a bit mad about having to chase you all over the place and then you going around hiding and what not even when I was calling your name." "We are at an amusement park, Wooseok." "I know, Melanie, but it's not that amusing when you're not the one having fun while others are." "Oh, I see." There was a moment of silence as Wooseok cast his eyes onto the female who was looking elsewhere. "Do you still wanna hang out?" "It's up to you. I drove and Serena hasn't messaged me to leave yet."
"So, you're going to leave once Serena's ready to leave?" He asked for confirmation as Melanie nodded. "Yeah, something like that." "Can't Changgu take her home so that you and I can spend some more time together?" "I mean, we can hang out more since we already know that we like one another, Wooseok. It's not like I'm Serena and take back about telling you my feelings or whatever." "Well, I mean you could since you are sisters." "I could, but I won't." She laughed as Wooseok became a bit shy although quite happy. "So..." He trailed off as Melanie looked at him. "So, what?"
"Continue our date?" Wooseok asked hopefully while Melanie smirked. "I mean, I kinda like my single life, but..." Melanie trailed off as Wooseok's hopeful expression dimmed. "Yeah, we can." She chuckled as he grinned while taking her hand and started leading them both around the amusement park with Melanie eyeing him teasingly. "Despite your tall stature and somewhat brooding face, you're quite cute and boyish." She laughed as Wooseok smiled. "Thanks, but try not to say that when the guys are around." "They should know, too." "They already do, but they don't need to know that you think so too." Melanie laughed. "Fine. Just for you."
"Anyways," Melanie began when she spotted a place that caught her eye, "Wanna go in the haunted house?" "Why?" "Because it's fun." "How is it fun when people jump out at you to scare you?" "Because the reaction of the other person makes it fun and it is a haunted house, Wooseok." "No thanks. I rather not get jumped at." Melanie rolled her eyes as she spotted something else. "Ooh, basketball. Let's play that." "Are you gonna be good at this game, too?" "Dunno. Let's try, but if I win I'll make sure to get you the prize." "I think that's supposed to me my line to you." "Same difference." "As long as we have more time for our date." "Obviously."

Date
Pairing: SKZ’s Hyunjin x OC [Chaewon] Genre: slice of life, slight fluff Word Count: 2,055 Summary: Hyunjin likes Chaewon, but he has no clue if she likes him or not since he can’t really read her. Not until someone else spills the beans does he get his answer.
Warning: maybe some curse words. that’s about it.
oh look. another Stray Kids fic. i swear i wanna write for the other boys, but whatever happens and so here it is. lol anyways, i didn’t know what to actually title this and so yeah. happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
"Hey." Hyunjin called out for Chaewon's attention, but she ignored him too busy with working on her English Composition homework while one of her dramas played as background noise on her iPad Mini.
The duo were currently hanging out in Chaewon's living room awaiting the return of their other four friends from the convenient store. Well, it was more like Hyunjin was the one waiting for his friends while Chaewon was waiting for her little brother, Jeongin, to return home with her snacks. Hyunjin could have gone with his friends, but he opted to stay behind and keep Chaewon company instead. Chaewon didn't want his company, but Hyunjin insisted and that was how the duo were currently. Then again, Chaewon could have gone into her room to study and listen to her drama, but it was a mess and she didn't feel like cleaning it at the moment.
"Chaewon." Hyunjin called out her name again.
He received the same response.
"Yang Chaewon."
Still no response from the female who continued to scribble away on her notebook with her left hand and would go back and forth between the pages of her textbook with the other. Hyunjin pouted while glaring at Chaewon's figure from the couch he was occupying while playing his Nintendo Wii U.
"You're such a bad girlfriend." Hyunjin commented not expecting Chaewon to hear him as she's been ignoring him for the past three times since he'd last spoken.
"What?" Chaewon responded with a confused look directed at Hyunjin.
"You heard that?"
"Yeah."
"But you couldn't hear me when I called out to you before then?"
"Oh, I heard you, but I didn't feel like responding to you."
Chaewon was about to go back to her studies, but Hyunjin wasn't done talking.
"But why would you respond to that?"
"Because I'm not your girlfriend."
Hyunjin grew a bit flustered, but tried to remain calm about what Chaewon had just stated.
"I know that."
Chaewon scoffed.
"Then why say it in the first place?"
"I was just saying that you would be a bad one if you were someone else's girlfriend."
"Yeah, your opinion doesn't matter. Anyways, I would be a great girlfriend, thank you very much."
"Says you, Chaewon."
"Obviously, Hwang Hyunjin."
Chaewon chuckled at the situation before going back to her studies like nothing happened. Meanwhile, Hyunjin was frowning at the turn of events and wasn't sure how to go about it. He also lost interest in the game that he had been playing and was now glaring at the back of her head.
"Stop mad-dogging me."
Chaewon's voice broke Hyunjin out of his staring contest at Chaewon's head.
"I wasn't mad-dogging you." He denied as his eyes gazed down at the screen of the Nintendo Wii U.
"Sure you weren't."
Silence fell between them. The only sound was from Chaewon's iPad Mini and the scribbling from her pen.
"What makes you think you'll be a great girlfriend?" Hyunjin asked a moment later.
"Why do you care?" Chaewon asked instead still focused on her studies.
"Can I not care?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Sheesh, shut up."
"No. I wanna know."
"Why are you so curious to know the answer?"
Chaewon shifted her body to face Hyunjin before speaking again not giving him a chance to answer.
"Because it doesn't concern you, Hwang Hyunjin."
"Hey, that's mean. I thought we were friends."
"You're actually a friend of my brother. We're not friends."
"Technically, Chaewon, that does make us friends. You've been hanging out with us for a long while now."
Hyunjin shot her a smug look as she rolled her eyes.
"No. It's because you guys always hang out here for some reason and I'm force to be around you guys."
"Aww and I thought it was because of my awesome charms that made you actually stick around."
Chaewon scoffed with a roll of her eyes.
"Charms my ass. You're the most annoying out of all of them."
Hyunjin's jaw dropped upon being offended.
"Excuse me?"
"You're excuse."
Chaewon mused while motioning a hand at the door.
"That's not what I meant."
"Well, I did."
"Wow, rude. And here I was gonna confess my feelings for you, but I see how you is."
"You have feelings for me?" Chaewon questioned with a suspicious tone. "You're joking, right?"
Hyunjin froze upon exposing himself, but became confused upon Chaewon reacting differently about it.
"I'm not joking, Chaewon."
"You're serious?" She asked for a double confirmation.
"Yes. I'm serious." He confirmed.
"You're lying."
"I'm not. I really like you."
"That's just so weird."
"Why is it weird?"
"Because you're my little brother's friend. That's why."
"What's wrong with that? I can't have feelings for you because I'm Jeongin's friend?"
"Yeah, basically."
"That's a stupid reason, Chaewon." Hyunjin remarked. "Just like how you think I'm annoying. Jisung's more annoying than me."
"Y'all both annoying." She deadpanned and Hyunjin frowned.
"So you don't like me?"
"I didn't say that."
"So you do like me?"
"I didn't say that either."
Hyunjin grew curious as he moved off of the couch and sat beside Chaewon. She edged herself away not happy that he invaded her personal bubble.
"Which is it?" Hyunjin inquired. "It can't be both. You either like me or you don't."
Chaewon shrugged her shoulders in response with a small smile.
"Gah, you're so frustrating."
Hyunjin ruffled his hair in annoyance before shooting Chaewon a slight glare.
"Why do you always act and respond so indifferently about everything?"
Chaewon scoffed.
"What? Do you want me to react like one of those female leads when their crush notices them or tells them that they like them?"
Before Hyunjin could respond, Chaewon clasped her hands together with a loving expression on her face and spoke in a higher pitch than usual.
"Oh, Hyunjin. I've waited so long for you to confess to me. I can't believe you feel the same way as I do after all of these years. This is a dream come true. Let's go on a date and have a magical adventure filled with rainbows and unicorns."
She dropped the act and cast him disgusted look.
"Bleh. I'm sorry that I'm not the most enthusiastic about my feelings and emotions, but that doesn't mean I can't convey them in a different way than others."
Hyunjin just stared at her and Chaewon let out a sigh while turning away from him. She closed her books and stacked them atop of one another.
"Tell Jeongin to leave my snacks in the kitchen." Chaewon informed Hyunjin as she was about to stand up and walk away from Hyunjin, but he quickly reached out a hand to prevent her from leaving.
"Wait, Chae-"
Hyunjin firmly wrapped a hand around her forearm, but in the process he had tugged her back as well and yanked too hard causing Chaewon to stumbled atop of him. Her materials scattered all over the floor due to letting them go so that she could break her fall and not end up on landing on the male. Of course, things don't go the way she had wanted them to and Chaewon accidentally elbowed Hyunjin in the face while also falling on top of him. Chaewon scrambled off of Hyunjin with a concern look as the male cradle his injured face.
"Are you okay? Hold on."
Chaewon rushed off towards the kitchen as Hyunjin groaned in pain while trying to sit back up. He gingerly moved himself towards the couch so that he could rest his back against it. He leaned his head upon the cushion of the sofa while resting his eyes hoping everything would just calm down. Everything happened too fast and he wasn't sure what to make of it. A moment later he jerked awake and upright when he felt something cold against his right cheek. Chaewon had pressed a cloth filled with ice against his face.
"Thanks." Hyunjin mumbled.
"Mmhmm." Chaewon hummed as she regarded him a bit.
"Will you be okay?"
Hyunjin removed the ice filled cloth before touching his face with the other hand. The pain subsided, but there was still a very minor ached. Plus, he liked the attention that Chaewon was giving him and didn't want it to end just yet.
"I'll be fine if you give it a kiss."
Chaewon's facial expression of concern turned to one of annoyance.
'Yeah, you're fine. Anyways, you should ask your girlfriend or maybe boyfriend to do that for you."
"I like you, Chaewon, and it would definitely happen if you were my girlfriend, but you won't tell me if you like me or not so I can't ask."
"You do know that dating comes first before popping that sort of question, right? Who agrees to be someone's girlfriend just upon being confessed to?"
"Some people do it."
"Well I'm not like some people, okay."
"Oh?" Hyunjin let out in surprise as a grin adorn his face shortly afterwards. "So, should I take you out on a few dates and then ask you to be my girlfriend?"
"No."
"But you just-"
"Take me on a few dates, Hyunjin. After dating for a while you'll tell me again that you really like me, and then I'll let you know if I wanna be your girlfriend or not."
"What if that doesn't work out?"
"Then you won't know if I like you or not."
"Ugh. How annoying. Just tell him you actually like him and we can all stopped hearing how much he likes you and what not." A third voice stated and the duo turned to see the quartet had returned.
Jeongin was the one that had spoken just now.
"Chaewon likes me?" Hyunjin asked the younger male.
"Yes. She has liked you for about a year now." Jeongin informed his friend.
"How do you know that?" Chaewon asked with a cautious look.
"I overheard you telling your friends that a few weeks ago. Now, just date and we can all move on with our lives."
"You little shit. You told me you didn't hear anything."
"I lied. Now do you want your chips or not?"
"I do."
Jeongin handed his sister her bag of snacks. A few seconds later, Chaewon felt a poke to her cheek. She turned towards the culprit.
"What do you want, Hwang Hyunjin?"
"Aww, don't be that way, Chaewon." Hyunjin replied with a cute smile. "Let's go on a date."
"No."
"Ohh, burn!" Jisung exclaimed with a laugh.
"Shut your mouth, Han Jisung!" Hyunjin yelled at him.
"Make me, Hwang Hyunjin!" Jisung fired back.
"Would you two please not yell while I'm eating." Seungmin said while shooting his two friends a look. "Can't the two of you be civil like Felix and Chaewon."
The trio turned their attention to the duo where Felix was explaining some things to Chaewon about her English Composition homework.
"Alright, so basically this means that-"
Felix was interrupted by Hyunjin coming over and shutting the book closed.
"Uh, excuse you." Chaewon said while directing the words at Hyunjin.
"He's excused." Hyunjin dismissed Felix while making a 'shooing away' motion with his hand.
Felix backed off with a knowing laugh.
"All you had to do was just say it."
"I want alone time." Hyunjin stated a second later.
"Go ahead. No one's stopping you." Chaewon remarked while motioning towards the door.
"I meant with you." Hyunjin clarifed as he grabbed her extended hand and pulled her to her feet.
"Ohhhhh!" The quartet cooed in amusement upon witnessing the scene before them.
"Shut up." Chaewon barked at the quartet, but that just made them jest more.
"Hyunjin and Chaewon sitting in a tree..." The quartet suddenly broke out into singing while clapping.
Chaewon just tuned them out as Hyunjin continued to pull her along and in to the kitchen.
"Now that we're away," Hyunjin began, but Chaewon interrupted him.
"But we're not."
"True, but we could be."
Chaewon let out a small, defeated sigh with a nod.
"Fine, Hyunjin. You win. Let's go on a date."
"Yay!"
Hyunjin enveloped Chaewon into a hug while letting out a small cheer in victory. Chaewon should have expected that, but it was always a surprise whenever Hyunjin expressed himself with skinship, especially towards her. She returned the hug as a smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

I Like You
Pairing: SKZ’s Chan x OC [Yeon] || SKZ’s Hyunjin x OC [Nayoung] Genre: school!au, slice of life, slight fluff Word Count: 4,208 Summary: Yeon and Nayoung run away from the awkward atmosphere where their friends let slip their liking for friends, Chan and Hyunjin. Ofc, the boys give chase.
Warning: swear words. lol
okay, i do realize that my plot involve with the girls running away and the boys giving chase, but i just enjoy these a lot. plus it’s hella awkward when someone else admits something when you’re the one that was supposed to do it and what not. i dunno, that’s how me and my sister are so yeah... happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
"Y'know, you can't hide in the library forever, right?"
A voice spoke from beside Yeon who was too absorbed in the book she was reading. Alert, Yeon glanced to her left to see her friend, Jisung, before relaxing her posture upon realizing it wasn't the person she was trying to hide from. Still though, Yeon reached out to punch him in the arm.
"Ouch. What was that for?"
Jisung frowned as he caressed the sore spot.
"It's yours and Changbin's fault that I'm hiding here in the first place."
"What did we do?"
"Don't play dumb."
Yeon rolled her eyes as she returned back to her reading as Jisung chuckled beside her while taking a seat next to his friend. Yeon elbowed him away from her, but he barely budged and stayed in his spot.
"Oh, c'mon. You can't blame us for having a big mouth."
"That's why everyone calls you a squirrel."
"Wow. Rude."
"Just stating the facts."
"Hmm, you sound just like Nayoung."
"Yeah and because like me, she's in hiding, too, because of your guys' big ass mouths causing awkwardness for all parties."
"Oh, c'mon. Seriously? You can't blame us for letting it slip on who you guys like. You're both so obvious about it."
"No we're not, asshole. The both of you just like the drama that unfolds along with Minho."
Yeon punched him again.
"Ow! Stop hitting me!" Jisung whined as he cradled the sore spot on his right arm.
"Then get the fuck away from me then." Yeon stated in a firm, but soft tone while shooting the male a stern look. "Some of us are trying to read in peace."
"Like I said earlier, you can't hide in the library forever."
"Yes, I can."
"The school closes at night."
"And your point is?"
"You can't stay in the library forever, Yeon, especially within school's grounds once it's closed for the night and other days. Why don't you get that?" Jisung stated in an exasperated tone before shaking his head. "I swear, you're so dumb despite your academic standing."
Yeon smacked Jisung with her book as the male shifted away after being hit for the third time.
"You're so violent. I really don't get how Chan likes a girl like you even though you like a guy like him."
"It's because he doesn't actually like me like that, Jisung. I know it." Yeon reasoned while standing up with her backpack in one hand the other with her book that she lightly smacked Jisung in the back of the head with as well. "So shut up and leave me alone. I have other things to do besides worrying about Chan finding me even if I like a guy like him."
"Is that so?"
Another voice spoke as the duo turned to the source and realized that Chan found the duo.
"Fckn shit." Yeon muttered as she took a few steps back before turning around and running off in the other direction away from Chan.
Jisung rubbed his face in annoyance with a shake of his head.
"Gosh she's so dumb."
A moment later Jisung felt a sting to his left cheek where Chan had playfully smacked him and he glared up at his friend.
"What was that for?"
"For not telling me that she would be at the library earlier." Chan stated with a laugh. "Thanks though."
"Don't thank me. Just go after her and get this done and over with." Jisung said with a wave of his hand. "I'm tired of getting picked on by the both of you."
Chan patted him on the cheek again with a grin.
"Thanks, buddy."
Chan shot him a mock salute before running off in the direction of where Yeon had taken off to. Jisung let out a sigh as he rubbed his cheek.
"The dumb things I do for dumb friends. I hope Changbin was just as successful."
~~~~~~~~
Nayoung found herself hiding out in her school's DECA classroom where she helped her teacher, Ms. Ahn, run it as an on-campus store called GLOW with a few other upperclassmen after running away from the awkward situation that her friends had caused earlier. She usually wouldn't have cared about something like this, but since it actually involved her and the person she did liked she didn't like to be around in the awkward an embarrassed atmosphere. Nayoung disliked being teased about her crush, but she disliked the actuality of being teased while her crush was also present.
"Thanks for the help today, Nayoung." Ms. Ahn thanked her. "I think this should be enough for the rest of the week."
"Oh, we're already done?" Nayoung asked after helping put everything away after going to the store to stock up their own little store.
"Mmhmm."
"There's nothing else you need help with?"
"Nope. I'll have Sangyeon, Jacob, Saerom, or Hayoung take care of it tomorrow in the morning. You've done more than enough today."
"I mean, I can take care of it since I have nothing else to do."
"Oh? Your friend has been waiting for you outside for a good few minutes."
"Really?"
"Yes. He didn't want to disturb you until you were done."
"It's okay. He can wait."
Nayoung had a feeling of who it could be, but she wasn't in any hurry to find out who it was.
"Nayoung, don't make people wait. You're done here. Thank you."
"But-"
"I said you're done. Thank you for today."
Ms. Ahn gave her student a pointed look with a small smile and Nayoung nodded her head in understanding while biting her lip from finding a way to continued with doing something for GLOW. She gathered her things, bid her teacher goodbye, and reluctantly left the classroom. Nayoung ignored the male that stood waiting outside and walked on like she hadn't just looked in his direction to see who he was. Of course on the inside she was totally freaking out wondering why Hyunjin, the guy she liked, was even here waiting for her.
"Jisung and Changbin are totally dead when I get my hands on them." Nayoung muttered as she picked up her pace and walked a little faster.
Hyunjin scoffed as he kicked himself off from the wall he was leaning against and followed after Nayoung.
"Hey." He called out to her, but Nayoung ignored him.
"Nayoung."
Hyunjin tried again, but still received the same results.
"Lee Nayoung."
Nayoung stopped walking and turned around a little annoyed as she glared at Hyunjin.
"What?"
Hyunjin's steps faltered as he awkwardly halted where he stood not expecting Nayoung to respond to him indifferently.
"Well?"
Nayoung looked at Hyunjin expectantly since he was the one trying to get her attention in the first place although she knew she was misdirecting her behavior due to the two that had caused it at Hyunjin instead. Hyunjin was at a loss for words and so Nayoung dismissed the situation quietly while turning back around and walked off again in hopes that he wouldn't try to follow and talk to her again. She was having mixed emotions and so didn't want to deal with them at the moment.
"Hey! Don't just walk away like that!" Hyunjin finally yelled out towards Nayoung. "You know how long it took me to find out where you were?! I had to forced Changbin to tell me where you'll be."
"Not my problem! Changbin's dead to me and I can do whatever I want! You're not my dad, Hwang Hyunjin!" Nayoung retorted while glancing over her shoulder and stuck her tongue out at him with a silly face.
Hyunjin's jaw dropped at Nayoung's teasing. Nayoung smirked at him before realizing what she was doing. She suddenly faced forward and ran off with Hyunjin giving chase and yelling out for her to stop and talk to him instead.
~~~~~~~~
Yeon tried to quiet her heavy breathing to slow down her rapid heart-beating after running away from Chan and hiding within the secluded area of the library that was hardly visited unless needed. She figured that Chan would assumed she had left the library and would be running around all over campus looking for her. Once her breathing and heartbeat was normal again did she relax herself and sat on the floor with her back against the bookshelf. Before she could actually just chill the ringing of her phone erupted the silence and she hurried to mute her phone inside her backpack.
"I knew taking it off silent mode once school was over was a really bad idea." Yeon muttered to herself as she pressed the button to mute the call. "And why did he have to call me? Doesn't he know that I'm trying to avoid him for a reason?"
"Well, it's a really dumb reason." Chan spoke from behind her in a crouching position.
Yeon let out an inaudible squeal as she shifted her attention towards the male while crawling away from him. Yeon was about to yell at him, but Chan wiggled a finger at her with a teasing look while making a 'shh' sign with his other.
"Don't forget, Yeon. We're in a library." Chan said in a matter-of-fact tone despite his mischievous expression. "You don't wanna be too loud now. Unless..." He trailed off as he wriggled his eyebrows in a suggestive manner while standing back up and advancing towards her.
"You're so dumb, Chan. Shut the fuck up."
Yeon threw her phone at him due to being flustered by his words and expressions and hoping that it would stop him from moving closer to her. The two then stared at the object as it fell to the ground after hitting Chan. He glanced up at her amusingly while Yeon braced for whatever was about to happen.
"Did you really throw your phone at me?"
"Yes. Now leave."
"It's the school's library, Yeon. I can stay if I want to."
"Fine. You can stay and I'll leave."
Yeon stood up as Chan watched her, but then blocked her path when she tried to move pass him as he was blocking her only exist.
"Move." Yeon commanded, but Chan didn't.
He pointed at her mobile device that was still on the floor.
"Aren't you forgetting something?"
"Oh that? I was just gonna get a new one with a new number so no one can bother me when I transfer school and all that junk."
Yeon inwardly facepalmed at her words and wondered what made her say such things. Chan frowned.
"You wanna transfer school just when I found out that you like me, too?"
"Too? The fuck? Why would you like me?"
"The same reason you like me."
"That's a dumb reason."
"I guess that makes us dumb and dumber."
Chan flashed her his signature eye-smile with Yeon trying to fight the urge from being affected by it and to remain neutral and aloof.
"Whatever, Chan." Yeon said in a dismissal tone. "I got things to do and a squirrel and munchlax to kill."
Chan chuckled at her words upon recognizing the two people she mentioned.
"You don't have to go that far." Chan said before trying to reason what he said when Yeon shot him a look. "I mean, those two did help me out."
"How?"
"Jisung's kinda right. You are dumb despite your academic standing."
Yeon punched him in the arm as Chan laughed at her reaction before putting up his arms to defend himself from another attack.
"He's also right about you being violent, Yeon, but I know that's just your weird way of showing how much you care about someone or something."
"I'm pretty sure that's a red flag indicating that I'm a psycho bitch, Chan, and even worst as an abusive person, too."
"That's what you want others to think so you can keep people from actually getting close to you on a deeper and personal level."
"Stop reading me."
"How can I not? You're such an interesting book that I just want to know how the story ends when you realized that you need to stop pushing people away and accept them into your life."
"I guess you won't find out, huh?"
She smiled at him although he could see what she was trying to do.
"Yeah if you continued to play this little game of yours with me even though we both know that we both like each other."
"It's my game, Chan, and I can play it however I like."
"You've been on single player for too long, Yeon, and that's why you're the way you are with that one player mindset. You really need to try out the two player option."
Yeon rolled her eyes while letting out a deep sigh and thinking of the possibility of giving in before looking at Chan.
"You do know that the real life's reset button doesn't work the same as it does for games, right?"
"I do, but the reset button has never crossed my mind to begin with so it doesn't matter."
Chan shot Yeon another smile and she had to bite her inner cheeks to keep herself in control and not be affected by this dork who was slowly breaking down her walls.
"I hate you." She told him instead as he laughed.
"That's what you say, but that's not how you're feeling. Remember, Yeon, I can read you quite well."
"Shut up."
Chan let out a contented sigh while shaking his head.
"What am I'm going to do with you?"
"Nothing." She deadpanned with a calm look.
Yeon moved over to where her phone was and picked it up. She faced Chan again with the same facial expression.
"You're gonna do nothing. We're gonna act like nothing happened. This way we can go on with our lives with nothing between us."
"Your denial game is hella strong." Chan stated with a small smile before speaking again as he took a step towards her. "You like me and I like you. Right?"
Yeon noticed his movements as she, too, started moving, but backwards.
"More or less." Yeon answered in an aloof manner.
Chan rolled his eyes, but continued with each step he took towards her.
"So tell me, Yeon. How long do you think you can keep it up?"
"For as long as I need to."
"Really?" He mused while getting closer.
"Y-yeah." She said with less confidence upon feeling her back hitting the bookshelf a moment later.
Yeon glanced behind her and glared at the bookshelf knowing that she would eventually have to accept the way things turned out the way they do before facing Chan again.
"This is so hella cliche."
Chan laughed at their predicament as he placed both palms against the shelves to keep Yeon from escaping.
"You think so?" He asked her as she nodded.
"Yeah. You're gonna try to kiss me and I'm either gonna kiss you back and accept it or not accept it which would then lead me to push you away or something along those lines and what not. So yeah, it's hella cliche"
"Do you wanna test that theory of yours out?"
"Do you wanna live or die, first?"
"Either way, it'll be worth it."
Chan chuckled as Yeon made a face.
"I ha-"
He shut her up with a kiss and she didn't push him away.
~~~~~~~~
Nayoung usually didn't run for her life, but the situation at hand had called for it. Although she wasn't sure how it was gonna help out in the long run since she would have to see Hyunjin again anyways since they had the same class in the morning tomorrow. Glancing over her shoulder to see how far away she was from the guy that she in the process somehow tripped over air and stumbled to the ground. She let out a few groans while pulling herself up and into a sitting position as a laughing Hyunjin finally caught up to her.
"It's not funny to laugh at someone when they hurt themselves." Nayoung whined as she smacked Hyunjin's leg to stop his laughter.
He continued to chuckle while trying to talk.
"I'm sorry, but it's just too funny."
"Asshole." Nayoung muttered as she felt a stinging coming from her left ankle.
"Hey, that's rude. It wasn't my fault that you fell over your own two feet." Hyunjin stated with a frown after he stopped laughing upon hearing her words.
Nayoung paid him no attention as she was more focused on her foot and winced when she pressed at the sore spot.
"Does it hurt?"
"No shit, Sherlock."
"I'm just asking, Nayoung."
"Well, it's pretty obvious since I'm massaging my ankle, Hyunjin."
Nayoung made a face when the sore spot didn't ease itself after being massaged. She wondered how it could hurt this much when she just tripped over air.
"Here, let me help you."
Before Nayoung could ask on how he could help her she felt herself suddenly being lifted up into the air bridal style within his arms.
"Yah! What are you doing?"
"I'm taking you to the school's infirmary." Hyunjin stated in an obvious tone while glancing down at her.
"It's closed, dummy."
"Then I'll take you to the nearest clinic."
"I'm not gonna let you carry my ass all the way to a clinic, Hyunjin."
"Then should I take you to my house?"
Nayoung smacked his chest as Hyunjin let out a laugh at her reaction.
"I'm just joking. Sheesh, calm down."
"I'll calm down when you actually put me down. I'm fine. I can take care of myself."
"Are you sure? I mean you just fell over air and injured yourself."
"It's not that serious. I'm sure it's fine now."
The two just looked at one another with Hyunjin silently refusing to put Nayoung down as she waited for him to do as she said.
"Hwang Hyunjin." She said in a firm tone.
"Lee Nayoung." He mimicked in a goofy way and Nayoung smacked him again.
"Ow. What was that for?"
"You know what it was for."
"Nope. I don't know."
"Don't act like you don't know."
"Don't act like you don't like me then."
That shut her up with Hyunjin smiling in victory. He then began to walk the both of them in a random direction and Nayoung unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck so that she wouldn't fall. He enjoyed the moment with having the upper hand this time around.
"Since I have you where you can't run away, Nayoung, let's talk." Hyunjin said in a calm-like tone acting as if this was a daily thing he did in his life. "Why'd you run away?"
"To avoid your ass, obviously."
"Why though? You like me and I like you and so we could have just talked it out without all of this running around."
"Yeah, right. The whole thing was way awkward and Minho wouldn't stop his constant teasing. That little dipshit. I swear, when I get my hands on him, he's gonna wish he didn't join Jisung and Changbin."
Hyunjin laughed as Nayoung looked up at him upon realizing what he had said earlier.
"You like me?"
"Mmhmm."
"Why?"
"Why not?"
"Fine. Don't answer me then."
Nayoung made a face with a roll of her eyes as Hyunjin smiled.
"Then why do you like me?"
"I just do, Hyunjin."
"Then I do, too."
"Stop copying me."
"I'm not." He answered with a laugh. "I just like you like that, too."
"Sure. Whatever you say."
Nayoung turned her attention away from him and looked down at her own shirt wondering when he'll finally put her down.
"Here, we go." Hyunjin announced a few seconds later as he set Nayoung down on the bench while taking the seat beside her. "Now, let's talk about the next part of our relationship."
"We don't have a relationship, Hyunjin." Nayoung stated.
"Of course we do, Nayoung. How do you not know this? We have a few already."
He grinned at her as she cast him a doubtful look.
"Alright, just listen to me." He said.
"Not like I'm gonna go anywhere." She muttered.
Hyunjin ignored her comment and continued.
"The first relationship was as classmates. That one is obvious, but we're also club members for the official Park Jinyoung Fanclub making us a membership. Then we became actual friends through Chanyoung and Yongseung forming a friendship. Now we're entering the liking one another relationship thanks to Changbin and Jisung."
"You're so dumb. Don't forget Minho, too, even though he deserves the same fate as the other two."
"That isn't such a nice thing to say to someone that you like."
"Who said that I liked you?" She asked in a rhetorical manner.
Hyunjin scoffed. "You."
Nayoung didn't comment back as Hyunjin continued when he noticed that she didn't have a comeback.
"Anyways, we should talk about the next step of our relationship because we can't go back to how it was now that there are other things to factor in."
"I feel like you have thought about this a lot and knew that one day it was gonna happen."
"Well, yeah, Nayoung. I like you and was planning on confessing to you, but didn't think it would be today. Didn't you think about it?"
"Not really. I tried not to dwell too much on this or that and just let it go with the flow."
"This doesn't help me."
"Oh, I guess you need to find someone else to help you, huh?"
"Nope. This just makes me want to work harder."
Nayoung facepalmed before facing him again.
"You do know that I'm not like most girls, right?"
"Yes, Nayoung, I do."
"Yeah and that means I don't always like doing what people think girls normally do or react how a majority of girls do. I'm really not that super girly or cute and what not, Hyunjin. I really want you to know this."
"Nayoung. You're perfect the way you are."
"No one's perfect, Hyunjin."
"Your imperfections is what makes you perfect."
"Where did you learn that from?"
"It's a secret."
Hyunjin shot her his signature eye-smile and Nayoung couldn't help but be affected by it.
"You're so dumb."
"I'm gonna take these little name calling and other words as the way you express your affection for the people you care for."
"Do whatever you want, Hyunjin."
"Oh, whatever I want, you say?"
His eyes lit up as he wriggled his eyebrows at her playfully.
"You sure?"
"You don't affect me that much, Hyunjin." Nayoung stated with a confident look. "I don't swoon over you like your little personal fanclub does."
"Yeah, I know, but I do know that you like to check me out when you don't think I notice."
Nayoung scoffed. "I do not."
"So you weren't checking me out in first hour when we were watching a movie and then in third hour when I walked passed your desk twice to talk with Felix about something and then returning to my seat afterwards. Also doing lunch when I sat across from you with the others."
"No. I was checking out the bracelet you were wearing because it's really nice."
"Oh? Really?" Hyunjin asked surprised since other people always stared at him because of his looks.
"Yeah. I always noticed things on people's wrists like how Yeon likes remembering people's names. It's just interesting to us like that."
"I never noticed."
"It's okay. No one really knows anyways. So are we done talking? I'm hungry."
"Is this going to be our first date together?"
"Who said anything about a date?"
"We are starting the next phase of our relationship, Nayoung, so I say it's a date."
"That's what you want. I just want food, Hyunjin."
"It's a win-win situation for the both of us."
"Fine, but you're not gonna carry me."
"Unless you trip again."
"Don't you dare bring that up again."
"I will in exchange for something to keep my silence."
"Oh, so you're that type of guy. I see you, Hyunjin. I see how you is."
"Mmhmm."
Hyunjin agreed with his signature eye-smile.
"Maybe I'll get it once our date ends when I get you back home safe and sound."
"Maybe or maybe not. We shall see." Nayoung informed him while standing up and offering her hand. "C'mon. I don't want you getting lost or something. I don't wanna be the one held responsible and have your fanclub attack me."
Hyunjin took her offered hand, but was the one to lead her even though her foot recovered.
"They won't. I'll make sure of it. No one's gonna hurt my girl and get away with it."
"Your girl? We barely started this new relationship and you're possessive already? Wow."
"Well, one of us has to be since I did say I'll work harder."
"Just don't do anything stupid and we'll be fine."
"That's gonna be hard considering the group of friends we have."
"True, but I guess we'll both be working harder to make it work."
"I like the sound of that."
Hyunjin agreed as he laced their fingers together.
"You, me, and our long journey ahead of us."
"Seriously. Who you be learning all of this stuff from?"
Hyunjin chuckled as he glanced back at her.
"Secret."

Dance Partner
Pairing: SKZ’s Hyunjin x OC [Chaewon] Genre: school!au, slice of life, slight fluff Word Count: 3,082 Summary: Chaewon doesn’t have the guts to confess to Hyunjin, but that doesn’t stop her step-brother, Minho, from interfering.
Warning: none... i think. lol
i actually like this one a lot. not sure why, but i think it’s just because of Minho as a bro and Hyunjin being skilled at dancing. anyways, happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
revised. 9.10.20
Chaewon was watching through the small window of the door into the dance room where Hyunjin was practicing his choreography for the dance final. She was so entranced by his dance skills that she didn't noticed the person creeping up beside her.
"So when are you going to tell him about your little crush, Chaewon?" Minho asked causing Chaewon to jerked away from her step-brother's sudden appearance.
"Sheesh, Minho. Don't do that." Chaewon calmed down her beating heart with one hand while using the other hand to smack the laughing boy. "I dislike when you do that. You're such a brat."
Minho didn't flinch from her attack as he brushed her off along with her words while his eyes peered through the rectangular window at his friend before glancing at his step-sister. "You do know that Hyunjin likes you, too, right?"
Chaewon rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right. He and I barely interact nor do we have the same dance class. There's no way he would like someone like me."
"You do know that you're just as good of a dancer as the others, right?"
"Don't praise me. I know I suck." Chaewon laughed before casting her eyes at Minho. "Thanks though."
"There's a reason on why I'm the big brother. So it's my job."
"By like three weeks. We're basically the same age."
"Yeah, but I'm older one by three weeks, Chaewon."
"You're so dumb, Minho."
Chaewon elbowed him as Minho shied away from her attack with a laugh before glancing at Hyunjin again while a mischievous thought popped into his head.
"Hey, I just had a great idea."
"No it's not." Chaewon disagreed even though she didn't know what it was.
"I haven't even told you yet."
"Your ideas are never that great unless it's dance related."
"Okay, true. I was going to tell you, but now I won't."
"Don't care."
"Okay, good. Just watch it all unfold then."
Before Chaewon could even process what Minho meant or even access the situation her eyes widened when Minho suddenly opened the door to the dance room and entered inside to talk to Hyunjin. She was about to follow after her step-brother when rationally kicked in and she instead shut the door quietly and leaned against it. Chaewon wondered what he was up to as Hyunjin momentarily stopped in mid-routine when Minho called out his name.
She watched as Minho happily spoke with Hyunjin as her mind raced with all types of scenarios that could have occurred between the two. What she didn't expect was to see Hyunjin looked over in her direction a moment later and she freaked out once they made eye-contact. Chaewon shuffled out of the way as her heart raced upon the slight interaction before running off a second later to calm down her nerves and probably escaped any situation that Minho might have set up.
Chaewon found herself at the school's cafeteria where it was still crowded and let out a breath of relief upon seeing the horde of bodies in the building.
"I should be good in here where they wouldn't spot me so easily." Chaewon smiled to herself as she browsed around in what she wanted to eat.
While scanning the menu items she heard her name being called from behind her. Chaewon froze in her spot and felt dread creep up on her that Minho and probably Hyunjin had noticed her. So when Jeongin popped up beside her instead she let out another breath of relief.
"Ah, it's just you." Chaewon muttered to herself while letting her breathing return to normal.
"Are you okay?" Jeongin asked noticing how relaxed she looked after releasing a breath. "Seems like you were tensed there for a moment."
"I just thought you were someone else that I didn't want to see right now, Jeongin." Chaewon admitted with a sheepish laugh. "So what's up? I thought you were still holed up about that whole nursery school thing?"
"Oh that. It went smoothly once Mr. Ahn realized that I had too much hours at the nursery and so gave it to me as extra, extra credit."
"Wow. So that boosted up your grade. Lucky."
"Hey, you could have to, but you decided to do that clerical work at the dentist office."
"Which is honestly super easy, but seriously hella boring."
"I see. So what are you getting to eat?" Jeongin asked changing the topic. "You think you can spot me today?"
"I spot you like everyday. Where does your money go?"
"I've been into clothes shopping lately and buying stuff online."
"Wow, figures. You gotta stop hanging out with Changbin and Jisung." Chaewon stated with a roll of her eyes, but nodded in the end with a pointed look at her friend. "Fine, but if you turn into a super shopaholic, please do not bug me to feed you."
"You're the best, Chaewon! Thank you!" Jeongin thanked her as he gave her a hug and she just patted his back with a nod. "Yeah, yeah. Of course I am."
Just then Chaewon felt someone grab onto her arm and pressed themselves against her. She jerked away from the person believing it to be Minho until she saw that it was her friend, Jyongri, looking around cautiously instead. She glanced at Jeongin who just shrugged his shoulders.
"What's up?" Chaewon finally asked the other female who glanced at her before glancing around again. "Um, I'm just hiding."
"From who?" Jeongin asked as Jyongri smiled nervously. "Well, I may have stolen Chan's sausages and cheese sticks and given them to Felix to eat."
Chaewon raised an amused eyebrow. "Why would you do that?"
"Something about a free penguin plushie may have been a reward if I did so." Jyongri chuckled while holding up a large plush doll of a blue penguin.
"How did we not noticed that?" Jeongin asked while petting the soft stuffed animal. "Whaa, he's super soft."
Jyongri agreed with a smile as she petted the plush doll, too. "I know right. He's the softest stuffed animal I have ever held."
"So why are you hiding behind me then?" Chaewon asked a second later ignoring the plush doll.
"Um, well, Chan found out it was me and now he's looking for me."
"How did he find out it was you?" Jeongin asked while still petting the stuffed doll.
"Seungmin let it slipped when he was showing us his photography portfolio and explaining the stories behind each one." Jyongri explained before sighing. "Chan just had to come at that time to hear that one story and now I'm busted."
"When did you steal his food for Felix?" Jeongin asked another question.
"This whole school year." She laughed as Chaewon shook her head. "So it was you this whole time?"
"Basically, but hey, it was worth it for this cutie." Jyongri grinned while hugging the penguin plush close to her.
"Well, good luck to you, Jyongri." Chaewon wished as she pat her friend's hand. "You're definitely going to need it."
"Why?" Jyongri asked with a puzzled look before glancing over her shoulder when Chaewon pointed behind her. "He just spotted you."
"Ah, shit. I knew the cafeteria would be the first place I'd run to in my panicked state. Anyways, I'll see y'all at Jeongin's house for our English project. Later!" Jyongri bid them goodbye before dashing off although she picked up pace when she heard Chan yelled her name from behind her.
Jeongin and Chaewon watched as Chan zoomed right past them with a quick way and after Jyongri after doing so.
"She may eventually out run Chan if she's smart enough to hide her tracks." Jeongin commented as Chaewon shook her head with a laugh. "She might not because her backpack is totally filled with the books for our project and it's gonna slow her down."
"Then I'm going to assume she won't make it to our group session today."
"Nope. It'll just be me and you instead."
"You two instead for what?" Minho suddenly asked as he and Hyunjin joined the duo at the cafeteria.
Chaewon quietly sighed knowing she couldn't escape now while Jeongin didn't noticed and smiled at the duo.
"Hey Minho. Hey, Hyunjin." Jeongin greeted the duo as they greeted him back while Minho repeated his question.
"Oh, me and Chaewon are going to study after school today for our English project." Jeongin answered.
"Is that so?" Minho questioned with a look in Chaewon's direction. "I thought there was something else that you had to do after school today, Chaewon?"
Despite having sighed in defeat earlier she was now panicking on the inside upon seeing her crush right there when she was trying to avoid him, but she coolly answered Minho with a steady tone. "What something else did I have to do after school today, Minho?"
"Don't you member that you had to visit Mr. Zhang to talk about who was going to be your dance partner for the final?" Minho reminded her as Chaewon shook her head with a confused expression. "Um, I don't think so. Where did you hear that from?"
"Oh, well, Hyunjin mentioned it to me just now. Didn't you?" Minho asked while turning his attention onto the other male as Hyunjin nodded. "Oh, yeah. Mr. Zhang announced it during class today since we'll be able to pair up with other dancers from difference classes."
Chaewon tried to recall if the teacher did in her class, but nothing came to mind. "I really don't remember that part at all. Are you sure?"
"Positive." Hyunjin confirmed with a nod.
"But Felix or Eric or the others didn't mentioned it to me though." Chaewon frowned as she tried to recall, but nothing came to mind.
Minho smiled at her before his expression turned to one of concern. "You better go check with Hyunjin to make sure about it, Chaewon. Or you're gonna fail and have to take the course all over again during summer holidays."
"No way!" Chaewon answered with a shocked look. "Jyongri and I have plans to go to Jeju and hang out at her aunt's boyfriend's villa for a whole two weeks."
"Well, then you better make sure that you'll be able to go." Minho said with his continued feign concerned tone while casually bringing an arm around her shoulder and guiding her closer to Hyunjin in the process. "You guys should go do that now."
Chaewon hesitated as she looked at Hyunjin awkwardly as he shot her a friendly smile. "C'mon. Chaewon. It shouldn't take that long."
"Okay, I guess." She replied in a soft tone while cautiously following after him as he led the way.
"But what about my food?" Jeongin asked towards the duo's retreating backs as Minho glanced over at him. "I'll buy you food for the rest of the week if you cancel your study session with Chaewon today."
"Deal." Jeongin grinned before shooting a thumb over his shoulder. "So for the rest of the week I want knife noodles and fresh kimchi."
The walk was quiet, but not as awkward as Chaewon had thought it would be. Just mindlessly following Hyunjin, she didn't noticed that he had led her back to the dance room he was practicing in earlier. When Hyunjin opened the door for Chaewon and when she stepped inside did she realized where they were.
"Why are we here?" Chaewon asked turning around to face Hyunjin as he closed the door behind them with a smile. "To talk about the dance final."
"But I thought we were supposed to meet up with Mr. Zhang? Is he gonna come here instead?"
"How about we do some stretches first?" Hyunjin suggested instead of answering her question with a tilt of his head in a cute manner.
Chaewon wasn't sure how to answer as she watched Hyunjin make his way over to the sound system and brought out his phone to play a warm-up song.
When Crush's Hug Me began to play, Chaewon shot Hyunjin an amused look. "You wanna warm up to this?"
"Why not? It's a good song."
"I know. It's one of my favorites."
"Is it now?" Hyunjin asked with a small smile while stretching his limbs and moving about the room. "Glad I made a good choice then."
Chaewon nodded slowly as she set her bag on the floor and joined him on doing the stretches because she felt awkward in just watching Hyunjin being the only one stretching. Hyunjin smiled once more when he saw Chaewon warm-up along with him and she shot him one of her own. Not speaking and only stretching, the duo enjoyed the other's presence as Crush's song filled up the space between them.
"So who's gonna be your partner for the dance final?" Chaewon asked a moment later initiating conversation.
"I don't have one." Hyunjin answered nonchalantly.
"Really?" Chaewon asked in surprised. "I thought you would have paired up with Momo, Sana, or Mina by now? Or even with Yugyeom or Minho."
"I didn't want to pair up with them. I wanted to pair up with someone else."
"Oh, I see."
"What about you?" Hyunjin asked as Chaewon gave him a weird look. "What about me?"
"Who do you want as your dance partner?"
"Hmm," Chaewon hummed while thinking about it, "Maybe with Felix?"
Hyunjin's smiled dimmed a bit, but he kept his cool. "Oh, really? Why Felix?"
"Well, Felix and I've been talking about pairing up if there was a chance to work with another class since the beginning of the year, but I always thought our dance final was an individual thing, so I dunno."
"There's no else you wanna pair up with?"
"Hmm, well there's Hyunjoon, Changmin, and Eric as well." Chaewon mentioned. "We've been friends for a long time and I always looked for one of them since I have the same class with them."
Chaewon missed the way Hyunjin's face scrunched in annoyance as she was too busy stretching her right arm across her chest to the left. By now the song had changed to Dean's I'm Not Sorry and Chaewon was softly singing along with it as she felt comfortable compare to earlier.
"How about we dance now?" Hyunjin suggested as he quickly made his way over to his phone to changed the song.
"Dance?" Chaewon slightly panicked as she stopped singing and stretching while looking around the room. "Um, what about Mr. Zhang?"
"He's not coming." Hyunjin answered as Bruno Mars' Finesse began to play.
"What do you mean?"
"He never mentioned the dance partner thing in class today. It's an individual one."
"Then why ar-" Chaewon stopped in mid-sentence upon realizing what was going on and looked over at Hyunjin. "Is this Minho's doing?"
"Part of it was." Hyunjin casually answered her question as he began moving his body to the beat while making his way over to Chaewon with a smile. "The other part was mine."
Chaewon watched Hyunjin suspiciously as he moved closer to her. "Do you know something that I don't know?"
"Probably." Hyunjin chuckled before stopping in front of her and holding out an offered hand. "Now, Chaewon, how about that dance?"
"Honestly, Hyunjin, I suck at dancing. Sorry to disappoint you." Chaewon admitted with a laugh.
Hyunjin's hand dropped to his side as he cast her a puzzled look. "Then why did you sign up for dance?"
"Because Minho changed my elective at the last minute when I was turning it in and got me stuck in dance."
"What was it supposed to be?"
"I was supposed to help run 3RACHA with Jyongri for marketing credits."
Hyunjin let out a laugh. "Why would Minho do that?"
"Um, let's just say that I may have gotten him stuck on a ride involving heights for at least an hour or something during last summer's holidays."
"Oh, what a sight. Wished I was there to have witnessed that."
"It should be floating around somewhere."
"Anyways, why didn't you change it when you found out?"
"Too lazy." Chaewon admitted with an embarrassed laugh. "And it was already too late by the time I tried to switch it."
"Well, I'm glad that Minho changed it."
"Why would you be glad about that?"
Hyunjin smiled at her before answering her question. "Let's just say that I like you, Chaewon."
"Why would you say something like that?" Chaewon asked not believing him.
"Because I like you." Hyunjin confessed to her honestly.
Chaewon brushed his confession off as a joke with a laugh. "Yeah, right, Hyunjin. Did Minho tell you to do that, too?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, I see." Chaewon said in a neutral tone as she frown upon hearing his answer. "I'm just gonna go then. Jeongin and I have a project to work on."
Chaewon quickly picked up her bag, was about to leave the classroom when Hyunjin reached out to stop her by grasping her upper arm, and she turrned to face him with an annoyed look. Music was still playing in the background, yet it didn't fit the mood between the two at the moment.
"Wait, Chaewon. I didn't mean it like that."
"Then how was it supposed to mean, Hyunjin?"
"Yes, Minho told me to tell you that, but it was meant that I should confess to you, too, since he told me that you also liked me."
"Is that what he told you when he interrupted your dance practicing earlier?"
"Yeah and why I glanced at the door and saw you looking through it before disappearing."
Hyunjin released his hold on Chaewon as she tentatively took a step back while adjusting her backpack onto her back.
"Yeah, well, Minho's a brat, but I guess his idea this time around wasn't a total disaster." She admitted with a small laugh.
"Good." Hyunjin said with a grin. "Because I'm still waiting to hear those special words, too."
"What words?"
"Your confession that you like me, too."
"Oh, really? I thought Minho already said it to you."
"No. I want to hear it personally coming from you."
Chaewon suddenly became shy and flustered when hearing that from Hyunjin who by this time moved himself closer while waiting.
"Okay, Hyunjin. I like you, too." Chaewon confessed as Hyunjin's face broke out into the biggest grin ever and he suddenly enveloped her into a hug.
"Wait, wait. Hyunjin!" Chaewon squealed when Hyunjin suddenly twirl the both of them around happily as he moved their bodies to the beat of Crush's Cereal.

Exclusive 2/3
Pairing: LYJ x OC (Melanie/Li Xiangjun) || CXK x OC (Serena/Jiang Yingyue) Genre: slice of life, college!au, fluff Word Count: 4,901 Summary: Lin Yanjun openly flirts with Melanie, yet she’s tired of his games and can’t take him seriously. Cai Xukun and Serena chill on a daily, but there’s gotta be more than that between them. Eventually enough, the boys just want the girls exclusively to themselves.
part one.part two.part three
Warning: matured content as in college related stuff. swear words. NOT MOBILE FRIENDLY! not sure why, but it has all the breaks and stuff while on a desktop. (teach me if mobile is different and it can be done!)
Part 2! Not sure if you guys enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it, but hey it is what it is. Sorry if you guys get confused with the usage of names here and there. I wrote it and am too lazy to go back and like change them and so it is what it is. LOL Anyways, so yeah, this is part 2 of 3 and happy reading! kthxbai, Admin Lia~
After helping Xukun complete practically almost everything on his list, Serena finally entered her second class of the day. She waited for the rest of her group mates to join her, but none of them showed up as the rest of the class filed in. Serena wondered if there was a memo about something and she missed it as everyone was gathered in their respective group.
The professor finally arrived and began recapping their last session two days ago shortly afterwards. Serena anxiously looked about her hoping that at least one of them would show up. After telling the class to continue with their group work, the professor went through his files before calling out Serena's name. Serena became alert and slowly made her way towards the front of class.
"Yes, Mr. Hung?" Serena asked once she was besides his desk.
"I'm sure you have noticed that your group members aren't here, correct?" Mr. Hung stated as Serena nodded. "Well, Miss Jiang, I'm sorry to inform you that Mr. Song Shuijiao, Mr. Wang Youchen, Mr. Zhang Jinming, Mr. Jiang Dahe, and Mr. Liang Hi have all been expelled from Langfang since yesterday."
Serena's eyes widened with disbelief at the fact that five of her group mates were expelled and would no longer be attending school.
Mr. Hung continue on. "As for Mr. Li Xinyan, he has been dismissed due to serious medical reasons." He shot Serena a sympathetic look. "I know that it wasn't easy being paired up with a group of males, but I knew you handled it well. It's just the concern that you're the only member of your group now."
"So, what's going to happen to my grade then? Do I continue it solo?" Serena asked a moment later.
"No, Miss Jiang. I have decided for you to team up with my other class where another group is also doing the same topic. You'll work with them to receive your final grade for your last group assignment for my course."
"Does that mean I'll have to attend that class instead of this one?"
"Yes, you will. I know we're already in the second semester of the school term year, but it's the only way you'll pass this class for attendance. It's a Tuesdays and Thursdays class and it's at two-forty. Will that clash with the rest of your schedule?" Mr. Hung asked as Serena tried to recall her weekly school schedule and shook her head afterwards. "No and it's fine. Thank you, Mr. Hung."
He smiled at her. "No problem, Miss Jiang. Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow instead."
"Yeah, tomorrow. Bye."
Serena bid the professor goodbye before returning to her seat to gathered her things and left the classroom soon after. She was planning on returning back to the Nu Chi Phi house to take a nap, but she felt the vibration of her phone and answerd the call after looking at the caller ID.
"Hey, BinBin?" Serena answered her friend, Zheng Ruibin.
"Aren't you supposed to be in class instead of answering my call?" Ruibin questioned instead.
"I was, but something happened." She answered while walking off in a random direction. "What do you want?"
"Well, NaNa, I have a favor or two to ask of you."
"Is it for the stupid scavenger hunt that I-P-T is doing?"
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"I just do. So what's the favors?"
"Well, we wanna use you in our photos."
"We as in...?"
"Jeffrey and I."
"Go figure." Serena rolled her eyes despite making her way towards a familiar direction. "I'll meet you guys at the basketball court at the park then."
"Thank you, NaNa!" Jeffrey thanked her from the background as Serena chuckled. "You're welcome. See ya."
"See you in a bit." Ruibin said before hanging up.
"Why am I being so nice today and it's not even noon yet?" Serena mumbled to herself after letting out a tired sigh as she headed towards Xinfan Park.
Melanie had just sat down in her seat when she was surrounded on both sides by her two friends, Qin Fen and Han Mubo.
"Guys, I just sat down. Can you give me a minute?"
"No." The duo answered as Melanie groaned. "You guys are so annoying. What do you want?"
"You already know what I want." Qin Fen answered with a smug look while wriggling his eyebrows as Melanie cast him a disgusted look. "Gosh you sound greasy and I knew you were secretly a little pervet. Don't do that again."
"If you give me what I want, then I'll leave you alone."
"Dude, you can practically ask any other girl to do what you're asking me to do. So go do it."
"It's not the same. They're expecting a date or something afterwards. You don't think of that of me."
"I wonder why, but that's not my problem. Besides, there are other Nu Chi Phi members who aren't like that. Hell, you could've asked Junyi, Zixuan, or Qiuyan to help you guys out instead of me."
"Qiuyan already helped me with three and both Junyi and Zixuan each helped me with two. All three said they wouldn't help me anymore than that." Mubo informed as Melanie rolled her eyes. "You guys seriously need to go find some more female friends. It wouldn't be that hard since you guys have quite a bunch of fangirls."
"Like I mentioned earlier in case you forgot-"
Melanie interrupted Qin Fen. "I didn't forget."
Qin Fen continued like he didn't get interrupted. "They don't want to be just friends, Jun." Qin Fen clarified as he cast her a look. "How many times do we have to keep reminding you this?"
"When you guys stop bothering me about stupid shit."
"That was uncalled for." Mubo stated with a look as Melanie shrugged while casting them an annoyed look. "It's whatever. I'll only help you guys two times, but that's it because I've done so much for you guys last time and I regret it." She glared at Qin Fen. "And you better have bought me a new bra already. Like forreals, Fen."
"I got you, JunJun. I got you." Qin Fen beamed as he set a white rectangular box onto the table. "You're welcome."
Melanie's eyes lit up as she inspected the present while slowly opening the gift. Melanie went to check the tag, but frown upon seeing the incorrect size while shutting the box and passing it back to her friend.
"What's wrong? You don't like the color?" Qin Fen asked worriedly as Melanie shot him a look. "The color's fine, but it's the wrong size, Fen."
"How can that be? I double checked."
"It's the same size as the one that you tried to give me that wasn't even mine. You're hopeless."
"Haha, I knew it." Mubo laughed while pointing a finger at Qin Fen. "I told you that wasn't her size."
"Shut up." He blankly stared at the box. "What should I do with it?"
"Give it to one of your fangirls." Melanie mused as Qin Fen elbowed her with a sheepish look. "Stop."
Jeffrey was currently serenading to Serena as they held hands, but her other free hand was slightly shielding her face from the camera's view. When it was over Serena quickly removed her hand from Jeffrey's and glared over at Ruibin who pulled Jeffrey's phone down to look at Serena amusingly.
"Are we done now?"
"Depends. Do you want to continue?" Ruibin smiled at her as Serena shook her head with a frown. "No. I basically did like fifteen of those on the list and even doubled them for the both of you. Took like two hours for some dumb reasons on your guys' part." She then placed a hand on her stomach while making a cute pout unconsciously. "Plus, I'm hungry and it's way passed lunch time."
"Then let's go get some late lunch then since our precious NaNa is hungry." Jeffrey suggested as he swung an arm around her shoulders with a playful smile as Serena slightly nudged him. "Didn't you want to try that 99 °C Bakery Cafe a block from here?"
"OMG, yes, Jeffy, but you're buying as the favor you owed me." Serena grinned as she looked at Ruibin. "And the favor from you, BinBin, is that you can owe me is getting that Totoro bedroom set."
"You live in a dorm room. You sure you want it?" Ruibin asked unsure as Serena nodded. "It's for my room back home. I ain't using that here."
"I mean, Jeffrey's richer than me, are you sure you don't want him to get that for you and I pay for lunch?"
"Oh, you right, you right." Serena nodded. "Jeffy pays Totoro and BinBin pays for lunch. Set and done. Let's go."
The trio began heading towards the bake shop.
"Off topic, but about NiNi," Jeffrey began, "How is she and Yanjun?"
"Nothing since NiNi just hates being involved with his dumb shit."
"Well, NaNa, a little birdie told us that Yanjun had NiNi become his pretend girlfriend again so that one of his crazy stalker fangirl could back off a few weeks ago." Ruibin explained with a small smile while placing a hand upon Serena's lower back to steer her out of the other people's way as they crossed the cross-walk.
"By little birdie, you mean your girlfriend, also known as Qi Yandi, also known as one of Nu Chi Phi's member gossiper, right?" Serena chuckled as Ruibin shyly laughed and nodded. "Yeah, something like that."
"Also, Ziyi told me that NiNi almost beat Yanjun up, but he prevented her from doing so." Jeffrey added upon remembering it.
"Yeah, she almost did. Actually, she's still pissed about it all because she was used three times for Yanjun's selfishness, but mainly she's just done with the other girls who were involved and wants to put out a restraining order on them."
"Dang, what did they do? Do you guys need protection?" Ruibin asked and offered as Serena shook her head. "Thanks. I'll ask her about it. But anyways, the girls keeps calling her names and what not, but when NiNi is about to confront them and shit, they run off scared."
"We can talk to Yanjun about it." Jeffrey offered. "Since we know him and he's definitey trying to stop using NiNi in those situations."
"I mean you could, but who knows how that will go since NiNi said she'll slap the shit out of Yanjun if he did it again. Anyways, these girls just talk a lot of shit, but won't do nothing. NiNi can handle that bit."
"I'm pretty sure it has to do with you guys being a part of Nu Chi Phi." Rubin stated with a knowing smile as Serena laughed. "Somewhat, but they're also part of Epsilon Nu Sigma."
"Ah, E-N-S, the crazy and party-goers sorority house." Jeffrey recalled as he affectionately patted her head. "Don't worry. They're all bark and no bite."
"I know. I've dealt with a lot of them without embarrassing my house, too."
"It's because you're a low-key N-C-P member and they don't know it." Ruibin remarked nudging her as she nudged him back. "It's because I do enough to stay under the radar from the public, but enough to get noticed by the sorority house to stay a member."
Serena then locked arms with her friends and hurried them along. "Anyways, guys, let's forget that. Let's get food instead because I'm hungry and I have a tutoring session in like an hour."
After bidding her two friends goodbye once they finally got what they wanted on the list, Melanie casually made her way to her next class. She settled herself towards the back of the classroom. She brought out her materials to review for the practice test on Monday. If she did super well on the test, then the teacher would allow for the practice test to help bump up their grades to replace a previous test that they scored poorly on.
Too focused on the reading material, Melanie didn't notice Zhangjing joining her and placing a dual boba cup near her. It wasn't until she felt a poke to her side and slowly turned to look at a smiling Zhangjing.
"I'm not talking to you." She stated while returning back to reading again as Zhangjing rolled his eyes. "Don't be so dramatic. My peace offering is your favorite drink."
Zhangjing pushed the drink closer to her and Melanie automatically took a hold of it to drink both flavors before putting it down again. "I'm still not gonna forgive you for your stupid antic with Yanjun this morning."
Before he could defend himself, Melanie shot him a look. "And don't try to say you couldn't come, because I saw your fast ass run off."
"You knew I was there?"
"Of course. Your broad back is so obvious."
"Wow, Xiangjun. Thanks for attacking my figure. You're a great friend."
"I never said we were friends, You. Zhang. Jing."
"Seriously, you're so rude, dude. I even pay for you whenever we eat hotpot together." Zhangjing scoffed as he angrily sipped on his own boba drink.
"Psh, it's because we made an agreement." Melanie reminded him while sipping on her own. "You pay for hotpot night and I pay for dinner hangout night." She then shot him a look. "Besides, Zhangjing, we do hotpot like three to five times a month while we do dinner hangout once or twice a every so well. Now think about that."
"Okay, fine. You win. My bad and I'm sorry."
"Gosh, you're such a little brat, I swear." Melanie commented with a smile as Zhangjing playfully stuck his tongue out at her.
The duo were later joined by Yanjun and another friend, Lin Chaoze, to who Melanie greeted the latter happily.
"Chaoze! Hi." She stood up to the hug the male as he returned the gesture and taking the seat on her other side. "Hi, Xiangjun. How are you today?"
"I'm good. You?" Melanie totally ignored Yanjun when he opened his arms ready for a hug from her, but she sat back down causing the male to slightly glare at her behavior towards him while he sat on the other side of Zhangjing.
"Lin Yanjun, zero. Li Xiangjun, nine thousand and one." Zhangjing muttered mischievously as Yanjun mocked laughed at him before glaring and reminding him of his little threat. "One eye open tonight, Zhangjing."
Zhangjing turned away to finish his boba. Yanjun glanced at Melanie to see that she was too busy talking to Chaoze about the upcoming test so he focused his attention on to the teacher who entered at that moment.
The tutoring sessions were being held on the first floor of the school's library in its own designated area. Today, along with two other tutors, Serena was tutoring seven of her fellow schoolmates in various topics.
"You write this word like this. That way the sentence flows better." Serena spoke in Thai to Huang Shuhao who was a Thai transfer student.
"Ah, okay. Thank you." Shuhao smiled at her as he erased his previous answer and replaced it with what Serena had told him.
"I mean, you can work with Sunnee a lot better since she's more fluent in Thai than I am."
"Oh, it's okay. I also don't want to disturb her."
Serena chuckled and patted him on the back. "I'm sure she would rather helped you with than deal with math right now. I'll go get her for you, Shuhao."
'Okay, thank you, Yingyue."
"You're welcome. Just wait a moment."
Serena made her way over to Sunnee who was teaching Sun Fanjie and Huang Ruohan an algebraic formula with no luck. The two girls switched places with Sunnee mouthing a quick 'thank you' before rushing to help Shuhao. Serena chuckled with a shake of her head before asking the two boys what they were exactly having issues with.
Once she helped them out she made her way over to Zhu Yiwen who beckoned her over.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Ying Zhiyue needs help with his academic schedule next year," Yiwen began to explain, "And since you've worked with him the most throughout our tutor sessions, you think you could help him sort it out for the next school term?"
"Oh, yeah that's fine with me." Serena agreed while looking around for Zhiyue, but didn't spot him. "Did he already go down to registration?"
"Yeah. He just left to go talk with an advisor. I'm not sure when he'll return, but I'll let him know you'll agree to help him."
"Okay, cool, Yiwen. I should be free Friday afternoon if he's available."
"Got it. I'll keep you posted, Yingyue."
Just then, Serena felt her phone vibrated. She ignored it at first since it was only a text message, but when it vibrated several more times she went on ahead to check it out. She received several messages from her sorority's president, Qiang Dongyue, and upon scanning the last one it was telling Serena to report to her right now.
Class was about to end in less than half an hour when Melanie received a message from Dongyue. Contemplating if she should leave now or wait a few more minutes when she realized that she had friends in the class and that they could fill her in later. Melanie patted Chaoze and Zhangjing on the shoulders while asking them to message her later if she missed something as she gathered up her things.
Yanjun held out a hand for a high-five him which Melanie high-fived him unconsciously after passing by him causing Yanjun to grin at her in satisfaction. Melanie rolled her eyes at him, but quickly left the classroom and made her way towards the Nu Chi Phi house.
When Melanie neared the house she ran into Serena as the two looked at one another curiously while pointing at one another.
"Don't you have tutoring right now?"
"Aren't you supposed to be in class at this time?"
"Dongyue messaged me." They chorused at the same time while entering the house and making their way to the conference room.
"Hello, ladies." Dongyue greeted them with a smile as she motioned for them to sit as the duo did so with the rest of the sorority council. "We apologized in advance if you're missing on anything academic-releated."
"Take a breath and slowly exhale. It's nothing bad or serious, so don't stress about that." Kimberley, the vice-president, chuckled as the treasurer, Lucia, smiled. "Yeah, it's only to discuss about attendance for the social gatherings this school term and we're doing it by roommates."
Both Serena and Melanie relaxed and looked at their fellow sisters calmly awaiting permission to speak when prompted to.
"Anyways, Melanie," The secretary, Yamy, began with a grin, "You've done well in attending all the events that Nu Chi Phi has hosted thus far and have been invited to as well. And for that, we're awarding you this set for doing an outstanding job."
Dongyue stood, walked around the table, placed the small box in front of Melanie, congratulated her, and then returned back to her seat. Melanie then opened the small box and her face lit up upon seeing the new bracelet and necklace insignia set of Nu Chi Phi's symbols for this year.
"Thank you!" Melanie beamed as she closed the gift and put it into her bag.
"Now, Serena," Yamy began with a gentle look in Serena's direction, "We know you wanna be low- key and we're okay with that."
"Yeah, like super low-key under the radar type." Kimberley added with a laugh before speaking again, "But we would appreciate it more if you attended one more event before the school term's over."
Lucia nodded in agreement. "We acknowledged the fact that you do do your part as a fellw sister of Nu Chi Phi and haven't caused us any scandals or embarrassment since being with us." She then cast a look at her fellow council members. "Still..." She trailed off as Dongyue continued instead.
"As president of Nu Chi Phi, I'm ordering you to attend one more social event as per socializing with those around you not in Nu Chi Phi. Plus, you will actually need to stay for more than an hour. Not just make appearances to several attendees and leave soon afterwards." Dongyue smiled as Serena made a face causing everyone else in the room to laugh. "You don't have to mingle much, just chill or relax and eat the good food. Just stay for a bit passed an hour and you're set."
Serena nodded. "Alright, will do, Dongyue."
"Think of it this way, Serena, by joining a sorority you're committing yourself to a lifetime of network connections." Melanie nudged her friend as Serena nudged her back. "I know. You've been telling me this since you made me pledged Nu Chi Phi."
The others laughed before dismissing the girls as the two roommates headed up to their shared room to relax since they didn't have any other classes to attend for the rest of today. Serena had dozed off and so missed the calls and text messages due to her phone being on vibrate. Melanie had just returned from the bathroom when she saw her phone light up and went to answer it.
"Yo, wassup, bro?" She answered coolly causing the other person on the other line to laugh. "Sup, Melanie. You and Serena busy?"
"Well, Ziyi, Serena just fell asleep, but I can wake her up if you want me to."
"Do it!" Melanie heard another voice yelled through the phone. "Is that Xiao Gui with you?"
"Yeah." Ziyi confirmed. "Anyways, I mean if you don't mind. Xiao Gui and I are on our way to the I See Darling amusement park if you guys are down."
"Hell yeah. Just the two of you?"
"Mhmm. Xiao Gui basically forced me."
"I did not!" Xiao Gui yelled through the phone again. "But come join us, Xiangjun, and bring Yingyue along, too!"
"Alright. We'll see you guys in a bit." Melanie agreed. "Just let me convince Serena to come."
"Gotcha. Just message me." Ziyi told her with a chuckle.
"Will do. Bye."
"Bye."
Serena found herself sitting in-between Xiao Gui and Ziyi on the viking ride so that she couldn't escape with Melanie sitting on Ziyi's other side. The quartet held onto one another for dear life as the ride went back and forth. Of course, Serena had wanted for them to sit on the edge since it would make the ride more thrilling, but Ziyi refused and they ended up in the center of the ride instead. Once the viking came to an end, they all got off of it with Xiao Gui holing onto Serena's shirt.
"Ugh, Xiao Gui, I'm not gonna run away." Serena stated for the nth time today. "You don't gotta worry."
"I dunno." Xiao Gui answered a bit wary. "I remember the last time you said that to me, you also ditched me to ride alone on the roller coaster."
"Because I had to pee."
"Yeah, that's what you said, but you came back with a big ass corn dog and didn't share it with me."
Serena rolled her eyes. "Because you weren't hungry."
"I was lying." Xiao Gui admitted as Serena shook her head. "Gosh, you're hopeless."
"Anyways, what do you guys wanna do now?" Ziyi asked trying to direct the conversation somewhere else.
"Let's eat. I'm hungry." Melanie suggested as she pointed to one of the food stalls. "A corn dog sounds really good right now."
"Xiao Gui's paying since his bitch ass forced us to come here." Serena declared with a laugh as Xiao Gui shot her a weird look. "Dafaq? You think I'm made of money or what, Yingyue?"
"Guys, I'll pay if it gets you two to stop fighting." Ziyi intervened as Serena shook her head vigorously. "Nah, bro. Don't do that. Make Xiao Gui pay for our meal for once since he's always freeloading and shit."
"This bitch. Fight me, Ying." Xiao Gui said as he annoyingly bumped his chest against Serena's side as she pushed him away with a roll of her eyes. "Ain't gonna fight you, dipshit. Calm down."
"Hey!" Melanie snapped her fingers together while clicking her tongue. "Stop fighting like little kids. Sheesh, can't take you two anywhere."
"Psh, I didn't want to come in the first place." Serena reminded her. "I wanted to sleep instead."
"Bro, you sleep like all the time. Be more productive, lazy ass." Xiao Gui stated as Serena elbowed him. "Get outta here before I throw your ass into the gold fish pool, you big-mouthed frog."
"These two." Ziyi shook his head at his friends' bickering while smiling as Melanie sighed beside him a bit annoyed. "Och, I swear these two act like they grew up together when they only met like last year."
Ziyi placed an arm around her shoulders as he led them towards one of the food stall. "Let them fight, Melanie. I'll buy you that corn dog."
"Oh, please and thank you. I only ate oatmeal and a grilled chicken sandwich today."
"Then I'ma buy you a whole meal. Can't let my home girl starve."
"Thanks. I'll get you next time, Ziyi."
Both Melanie and Serena were given piggy back rides from Ziyi and Xiao Gui, respectively, on their way back to their sorority house down Greek row.
"So why are we doing this again?" Serena asked as she wanted to walk on her own while feeling uncomfortable with stares from the others.
"For the scavenger hunt, dummy." Melanie answered reminding her friend. "Weren't you listening before we agreed to do this."
"No."
"What else is new?" Xiao Gui snorted with a laugh as Serena tightened her hold around his neck causing Xiao Gui to choke out his words. "Ack, loosen up your hold, girl."
"Stop talking shit then."
"I'll stop when you start being nicer to me."
"Isn't allowing you to piggy back me, nice enough, brat?"
"Are you two done arguing over there?" Ziyi asked the two as the duo replied in-synced in a playful manner. "No."
"You guys are so childish." Melanie stated with a laugh as both Xiao Gui and Serena blew her each a raspberry.
When they neared the Nu Chi Phi house that was when the girls got off of the boys' back.
"OMG, about time. It was starting to ache." Xiao Gui held his back making a face as Serena rolled her eyes and playfully pushed him away. "Shut up or I'll get Bu Fan to hit you in my place."
"Don't you dare, Yingyue." Xiao Gui's eyes became alert as he cautiously looked around him. "I've dealt with him too much today. I don't need more."
"Mmhmm."
"Seriously, you guys fight like siblings." Ziyi remarked with a chuckle. "You sure you guys weren't separated at birth?"
"Nah, bro." Melanie dismissed the topic. "Don't bring that up or they'll start arguing again."
"Ugh, whatever." Serena threw a hand in the air to dismiss the whole situation. "Forget y'all. I'ma sleep now. Bye."
Before she could actually make her escape, Ziyi took the hem of her shirt to prevent her from leaving.
"Just let me go." She whined as everyone laughed while Ziyi pulled her closer and locked her under his embrace. "Just hang out for a bit more."
"Why? You guys already got enough stuff for your list from me."
"It's about attending another event." Melanie informed Serena as Serena looked at her warily before shifting it to the two males. "What about it?"
"Saturday night we got a little karaoke thing going. You down?" Xiao Gui asked with a smirk. "Or nah?"
"Hell nah. I ain't down."
"Don't be like that. You'll get to witness me and Ziyi have a rap battle."
"And so?"
"Don't be so stubborn." Ziyi told her while squeezing Serena a bit as she made a face at him. "I feel like it's a trap."
"You think everything is a trap." Melanie remarked with a roll of her eyes as Serena glared at her. "Because it usually is whenever you're involved and it's not Dongyue or the others doing when it's concerning the sorority. For you it's plain entertainment of my misery."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Melanie feigned aloofness as Serena scoffed. "Sure you don't, but fine, whatever. I'll go. Just let me go, Ziyi."
Ziyi smiled as he playfully held onto her longer while squeezing her causing Serena to squirm within his grasp before letting her go.
"Ugh. I hate when you do that." Serena huffed as she fixed her shirt.
Ziyi smirked while ruffling her hair. "Don't lie. I know you secretly like it."
Serena stuck her tongue out at him in response.
"Anyways, just make sure to bring a plush doll on Saturday night for karaoke." Xiao Gui reminded the two females.
"Why?" Melanie asked with a questioning brow.
He shrugged. "Something about a raffle or something. I don't remember. Gotta ask Zhou Tengyang about that."
"Well, we gotta go." Ziyi informed them. "We still got stuff to do before the scavenger hunt ends in a few hours."
The quartet bid one another goodbye with the girls entering their house and the boys walking back in the direction to their house of Iota Phi Theta.

Obviously
Pairing: PTG’s Yuto x OC [Chaewon] || PTG’s Hui x OC [Chaeyeon] Genre: college!au, slice of life, slight fluff, slight angst Word Count: 4,880 Summary: Taking it to the next level is still a challenge when you're not sure if you're ready to venture out again when certain thoughts still keep you thinking about it. Then again, going forward is usually the only way to ever really see something for more than it is when it's obviously been right in front of you. It's always great when the other person makes you feel more about yourself to wanting to be with them, too. part one {Maybe, I Could Be}

Chaeyeon found herself again at the Phi Tau Gamma House with Chaewon for the fraternity's monthly fundraiser show since she attended the last one a few months ago. "I thought only you was going to attend this since the last one we went together?" Chaeyeon said as she and Chaewon settled in their seats. "Yeah, but Gu said it's important because he and the others will be performing tonight." Chaewon grinned as Chaeyeon rolled her eyes with a scoff. "So what, Won? I see that kid perform every day." "Yeah, Yeon, but this time it's an actual stage performance and not through clips." "I swear the both of you are so annoying."
"Don't worry, Yeon, your boyfriend is performing, too." Chaewon laughed as she elbowed her sister playfully while Chaeyeon rolled her eyes. "Hwi's not my boyfriend." "I thought you and Hui were together?" "We're not." "But you've guys gone out for months now and you even visit him at the music rooms to hear his stuff." "That's a lie. I only visit him because he keeps texting me to listen to his compositions." "Wait, you didn't deny anything about going out." Chaewon wriggled her eyebrows up and down as Chaeyeon rolled her eyes once again. "They were never dates, Won. They were just hang outs and study sessions."
"Right." Chaewon didn't believe her sister with a shake of her head as Chaeyeon elbowed her back playfully. "I'm not like you and Yuto." "Obviously." "Whatever. How are you two, anyways?" "Good. We have a date once this is over." "Maybe you guys should become boyfriend and girlfriend already so you can leave me alone." "We're working on it, well, more like me." "Because of Mark?" "Yeah. Although he did back off, it's just a bit hard to move on from something like that." "I know what you mean." The duo's conversation died down once the same MC from last time greeted the audience and dove right in to the performances.
"Hello, hello. It's great seeing another full house as all of you are welcome to another PTG's night of fun and entertainment." The MC happily greeted. "Tonight will be our main members performing while showing their different charms and colors as they have four stages lined up with different teams to showcase!" The audience applauded. "Of course only two team stages will get to help their charities from the audience who votes for them the most." The MC reminded them. "Alright, the first stage that we have for you guys is from Team Kino consisting of Kino, Jinho, Shinwon, Yanan, and Wooseok as they do Justin Bieber's 'Sorry'.
It was Shinwon and Yanan who came out first accompanied by a white piano with Shinwon playing and Yanan singing first. "Ohh, I like their re-arrangement of the song." Chaeyeon awed once Shinwon began playing. "I know right, especially when Yanan's angelic vocals complements it." Chaewon added. "Mmhmm." Later Jinho came out singing next while the lower PTG members took the piano away and the rest of the performers joining Jinho a second later. "He would waved." Chaewon commented upon seeing her step-brother waved towards the crowd. "Like the cute little shit he is."
"Hey, isn't that the jacket you got for his birthday this year?" Chaeyeon asked upon seeing the black leather jacket. "I think so. That kid has a lot of clothes." "True that." The sisters enjoyed the rest of the performance along with the crowd. "Whoo! Them high notes from Jinho at the end ain't no joke." The MC chuckled once he appeared after the other five had walked off. "And who was surprised from that dance break, right? Kino came up with that. Now, onto the second stage which is Team Hui consisting of Hui, Hongseok, E'Dawn, Yeo One, and Yuto as they do Wiz Khalifa's song 'See You Again'.
The five mentioned appeared on stage with a couch as their prop. "Hey, it's your future boyfriend, your pretend boy friend, and your best friend all in one group." Chaewon mused while elbowing Chaeyeon who just nudged her sister back to stop her teasing. "Stop. Just focus on your man." "I already did because he looks fine and I like this song." "What song do you not like?" "True." When the song reached it's climax, Chaewon gushed at the high notes from Hwitaek, Hongseok, and Changgu. She wasn't the only one as the MC came out fanning himself. "Is it just me or did it just get hotter when those three hit them notes?"
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen." He returned to his calm self. "We'll have a small talk as we give our members time to change into their next outfits while I'll announce the next team for you." He smiled warmly at everyone. "Alright, so the next stage that will be performing is from Team E'Dawn consisting of E'Dawn, Hui, Hongseok, Shinwon, Kino, and Yuto." The MC read from his cards. "These six will be performing BEAST's Good Luck." The crowd applauded as another PTG member signaled to the MC that he can announce the actual stage. "Oh, and here we go guys! Please welcome Team E'Dawn!"
The MC walked off as the six males appeared on stage just as they did a little cheer before the music came on. "Hot damn, Yeon. Hongseok's looking fine and showing some skin." Chaewon basically fangirled as Chaeyeon eyed her. "I'ma tell Yuto." "Go ahead. I can look, but I can't touch." "You're horrible." "Yeah, right." The younger woman nudged the older one while casting Chaeyeon a knowing look. "Acting like you didn't even check him out just now, too." "I didn't." "Because you were too focused on Hwitaek." "Shut up." Chaewon laughed at teasing her sister who was trying to be indifferent now.
"Yes, good luck to them, too." The MC clapped while chuckling as he appeared back on the stage once again. "Now for our fourth and last stage it will be by Team Jinho consisting of Jinho, Yeo One, Yanan, and Yuto." He announced. "The quartet will be performing to BEAST's On Rainy Days! Let's get it!" He walked off as the four males came on while carrying stools for them to sit on as they covered the song. "I really like this song. I hope they do it well." Chaeyeon commented as Chaewon nodded. "Well, they should since Jinho, Yeo One, and Yanan have such nice voices and Yuto's deep voice fits for rapping. So it should be amazing."
Chaeyeon nudged her sister. "You're just adding the rest so that you don't seem so bias towards Yuto." "Basically." The duo laughed as Changgu sang first. The young MC returned when the fourth stage was complete as he informed the audience to vote for the two stages they like. They would all be directed by the other PTG members out of their seats and to the voting place and unlike before where they exited the building once they did so, the audience would actually returned to their seat for a special surprise. Everyone chattered among themselves wondering what it could be once they had voted.
"I wonder what it is." Chaewon said while looking around. "They didn't do this last time or for the previous ones. This is the first time I'm hearing it and Gu usually tells me." "Probably some other announcement in relation to their frat house and fundraiser thing that you're not a member of it." Chaeyeon reasoned as she let out a yawn. "I hope it ends soon. I wanna sleep." "Whatever. You don't sleep until like six in the morning, anwyays." "That's you." "No. I don't sleep until three or four." "Yeah, sure. You're too busy watching your dramas." "Hell yeah. They're fun." "Mmhmm. Talking to Yuto, too." "That, too." Chaewon laughed.
The pair continued to talk until everyone had voted and the young male returned back to speak to them again. "Thank you all for voting and being patient with us." He smiled at the crowd. "Tonight is a special night because we actually have two more stages for you guys to enjoy!" The crowd let out excited cheers. "These two teams wanted to showcase these two songs they've been working on from composing, writing lyrics, and even arranging the choreography. Tonight, they have that chance to do that with everyone present." The MC informed them with a proud smile. "They hope you'll like both stages and songs!"
Chaewon then nudged Chaeyeon with a grinning facing. "That's your reason for being here, Yeon." "Yeah, whatever, Won." The MC continued again. "There won't be any voting since it's a special present for you guys. Now, Team Jinho will be going first and it's made up of Jinho, Hongseok, E'Dawn, Shinwon, and Yanan. It's a song called 'Find Me'. Please enjoy!" When the quintet came on stage Chaewon couldn't help it as she fangirl a bit. "Damn, Hongseok and Yanan both in sleeveless shirts." "Girl, stay in your lane." Chaeyeon mused as Chaewon grinned. "Duh. Like I said. I can look, but no touching." "Mmhmm."
Team Jinho ended with emotional feels that the MC almost had tears falling. "Whoa. Just wow. Who was touched just now by that breathtaking performance?" He asked before smiling again. "Okay, we're bringing up the mood and making it hot with Team Hui made up of Hui, Yeo One, Yuto, Kino, and Wooseok. It's a song called 'Young'. Let's get it!" He announced just before the five males walked onto the stage with swagger. When the part where Hyunggu partially ripped his buttoned shirt open all the females let out screams except his step-sisters, but Chaewon was laughing and clapping happily.
Chaeyeon shook her head. "He's going to be the death of me." "How?" Chaewon eyed her sister weirdly. "It's not like you're gonna fall for your own step-brother." "His fangirls because that boy knows what he's doing." "Hey, that's his charm." "Yeah and that expensive as shirt I got for his birthday." Chaeyeon sighed. "I don't wanna deal with his fans if they find out we're related." "Oh, well. What happens, happens. Not like you can stop it." "I know." The duo watched the rest of the performance with Chaewon cheering for Yuto when his part came on. "So obvious, Won." "Duh, Yeon. I have to make sure he gets lot of love." "Mmhmm."
Chaeyeon was heading back to her dorm after she had made an escape once the Phi Tau Gamma event was over before her sister could drag her to anything else. When she neared the building she was surprised by Jaebum suddenly appearing before her as she instantly went into defense mode ready to fight him. "No, wait. It's not what you think, Chaeyeon. It's not like that." Jaebum hurriedly said as he also held up his hands to show her that he meant no harm, but Chaeyeon didn't budge. "I understand your distrust, but I really want to talk to you and have been waiting for a while." He begged and Chaeyeon relented, but kept cautious.
Jaebum smiled at her in relief, but kept his distance. Chaeyeon recognized the smile as she hadn't seen that smile in a long time and wondered what he wanted. "What do you want?" He let out a deep sigh before speaking. "I wanted to apologize to you. For everything that I've done during our relationship and after we broke up. I'm sorry that I acted the way I did." "Why now?" "Because now I kind of understand what you went through with my behavior as I'm going through a similar thing and I honestly didn't know it was like that for you. I deeply regret it." He looked at her with sad eyes. "I'm really sorry, Yeon."
Chaeyeon could hear his sincerity and see it, but she was still wary of him. "Wait a minute. What do you mean by going through something similar, Jaebum?" The male let out another breath as he ran a hand through his hair. "Sunmi is obsessed with me and I didn't think she was that clingy and crazy when you gave her the okay to date me." Chaeyeon was surprised to hear the words leave his mouth, but not surprised at the truth of her ex-friend being revealed. "I figure something was up when she talked about you like she was jealous or envious of me when you and I were dating." Chaeyeon admitted as Jaebum scoffed. 'Figures."
He ran a hand through his hair again as he looked around before returning his gaze onto Chaeyeon. "I really wish we had turned out differently, but I know we can't go back to what we once were." He shot her an embarrassed look. "Um, you can tell Chaewon that Mark is really sorry, too. He now understands the situation that he had put her through when it came to bite him in the ass a month ago." "Seriously? How convenient." Chaeyeon scoffed as Jaebum smiled a little. "Yeah. We really didn't know what was going through our heads, but I guess we just didn't have anyone to tell us or show us different and just let us do us for too long."
Jaebum looked at his ex-girlfriend with a sincere and an apologetic look. "Until we met you guys and ended up the way that we are now." "Well, I'm glad that you're realizing that despite what you guys put us through, but my sister and I would rather know that you guys changed your ways and will learn from this." "Yeah, that's going to be a long while, but thanks a lot, Chaeyeon." She shot her ex-boyfriend a smile. "You're welcome, Jaebum. As for the issue with Sunmi go with a restraining order or she'll turn even more crazy and start claiming shit was real when it wasn't. You didn't do anything with her, right?"
Jaebum shook his head. "Hell, no. Just a date here and there, but nothing serious." "Good. That should help, but I really hope you and Mark settle this out because it won't be easy." "Yeah, learned that the hard way, but we're really working on it." "Don't worry, JB, it'll get better eventually." "Thanks, Yeon." The two stared at one another for a bit until Jaebum broke the silence. "I know it may be too much to ask of you, Chaeyeon, and I know that this will be the last time we'll ever interact with one another again, but could I ask for one last hug goodbye?" He shot her a half-smile with an understanding look. "You don't have to though."
Chaeyeon smiled as she opened her arms letting her guard down. "It's a hug, Jaebum, and this will signify the end of our chapter with one another." He smiled as he went in and held her for a long while. "I'm sorry about everything that had happened, but I'm glad you were a part of my life for a while, Chaeyeon." He whispered into her ear as Chaeyeon shed a few unexpected tears. "Me, too, Jaebum. Thanks for being a part of mine as well." The two separated as Jaebum out of habit wiped a stray tear with his thumb before returning his hand to his side. "Goodbye, Yeon, and may you have happiness from here on out."
"And I wish the same to you, too, JB. Good luck and goodbye." She waved as he shot his ex-girlfriend one last smile before turning away and heading back to GOT's fraternity house. Chaeyeon watched her ex-boyfriend for a few seconds longer while wiping away the remaining tears before making her way to her dorm again when she heard her name being called a moment later. Chaeyeon turned around to find Hwitaek walking up to her with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, but didn't mention it. "Hey, Hwi." She greeted him with a small smile. "What are you doing here?"
Hwitaek faltered a bit when he spoke. "Just, um, I, just came, y'know, to check on why you ran off." He flashed her a smile with a small laugh although she tilted her head at his behavior. "You saw what happened between me and my ex, huh?" Hwitaek let out a sigh as he nodded. "Yeah." She let out a small chuckle as she took a hold of one of his hand to reassure him. "We just said our final goodbyes and that he was really sorry for what he had done to me." She squeezed his hand with another smile. "We weren't planning on getting back together if that's what was making you worry, Hwitaek."
"Worry? I wasn't worry, Yeon. Not at all. None whatsoever." The male laughed it off, but Chaeyeon shook her head at his behavior. "Oh really?" She mused as she let go of Hwitaek's hand. "I guess I'll be going now. Bye, Hwi." Before Chaeyeon could turn away Hwitaek took a hold of her hand and had the female face him. "Wait." "Hm?" There was a long pause between them before Hwitaek let out a few coughs as he avoided eye-contact with Chaeyeon. "So, um, I, well..." He trailed off not sure what he wanted to say at this moment while Chaeyeon was suppressing a laugh from erupting out of her.
Hwitaek soon caught her look as he pouted soon afterwards. "Stop doing that to me." "Stop doing what?" "Laughing at me." "I wasn't laughing at you." He eyed her. "You wanted to and was about to." "No, I wasnt." Chaeyeon denied as Hwitaek shot her a knowing look. "The boys do it to me all the time, Yeon." Chaeyeon finally smiled as she placed her free hand onto their held hand so she could pat it for his comfort. "Because they love you." "Oh?" He let out as a sly look with a smirk appeared upon his face. "Because they love me, huh? Does that mean you like me a lot, too?" "No." She deadpanned as he frowned. "Wow."
Chaeyeon couldn't help it as she laughed upon seeing his reaction which caused Hwitaek to eyed her a second later with a tilt of his head. "I really don't get you some times." She shrugged indifferently. "Me, either." Chaeyeon let go of his hand once again, but Hwitaek took a hold of it once more and even laced their fingers together while leading them in a random walk and away form her dorm. "Is there a special reason on why you keep on wanting to hold my hand, Hwitaek?" Chaeyeon asked while lifting up their held hands as Hwitaek grinned amusingly at her. "Not really, Chaeyeon. No special reason at all. I just like holding your hand."
"Right, like calling me to come hear your compositions at odd hours of the day and night. Don't you like have friends for that?" "I do, but aren't you my friend, too?" "No." Chaeyeon deadpanned as Hwitaek cast her another sly look. "Did you want to be more than just friends with me, Chaeyeon?" "No." "Don't lie to me, Yeon. I know. Chaewon told me otherwise." "You really need to stop listening to other people telling you stories about me, Hwitaek." "Then how else am I going to learn about you, Chaeyeon, if you won't tell me?" He pouted as she rolled her eyes, but a slight smile graced her lips. "Obviously by hanging out more, Hwi."
"Then let us hang out some more, Yeon!" Hwitaek grinned while pulling her along in a jog. "Hey!" She softly yelled out as he suddenly picked up the pace. "Slow down, please." "Sorry, Yeon." Hwitaek apologized as he slowed his steps. "All you had to do was just ask, Hwi. We didn't need to run." Chaeyeon grumbled as Hwitaek laughed before taking off running again with Chaeyeon trying to slow them down. "Yah, Hwitaek!" Hwitaek laughed in response still tugging Chaeyeon along. "Lee Hwitaek!" "Lee Chaeyeon!" Hwitaek only laughed when Chaeyeon lightly punched his back in response.
"You guys were really great." Chaewon praised the nine males once she was able to get through backstage after telling Hwitaek that Chaeyeon had ran off and he should go catch her sister if he wanted to spend any real time with her before she played 'loner' again. "Thanks for making it out, sis." Hyunggu thanked Chaewon first upon receiving a hug from her first. "Hope you enjoyed the performances." "Heck yeah. Seriously awesome." She grinned while hugging the rest of the guys. "I heard you screaming for your soon-to-be boyfriend." Shinwon whispered into her ear as she playfully smacked him. "Shut up, Shin."
Shinwon chuckled once he released her. "It's still the truth." "Shut up." "You look kind of embarrassed, Won." Jinho softly said to her once it was his turn to hug the female before chuckling afterwards. "And somehow I think I may know why you are like that." "Don't you start, Jin." Melanie warned him in a quiet tone as Jinho laughed while releasing Chaewon. "Hey, I'm not trying to start anything, Won." "Maybe I should start something?" Hyojung joked as he went next to hug the female who rolled her eyes. "No, E, please don't or I'ma drown you in your sleep if I have to."
"You can't do that." Hyojung dismissed her threat once they parted as Chaewon slowly grinned at him. "Wanna try me?" "Damn, you look like Yeon, right now." "No I don't." It went on like this with the others saying similar things before she finally got to Yuto who noticed her sudden shy and flustered expression and demeanor when the two finally hugged and the others suddenly went 'ohhh' in excited voices and laughing after doing so. "I feel like I missed out on something just now." He whispered against her ear as Chaewon shook her head. "It's nothing, Yuto. You were amazing." "Thanks."
He grinned wider after releasing her and before Yuto could ask her which of the stages was her favorite one she was pulled away by Hyunggu. "Yo, Won, I need to ask you about something." "What is it, Gu?" Chaewon asked turning her attention onto her step-brother unintentionally ignoring Yuto. "About the shirt that I ripped a while ago. I just realized that Yeon got that for me for my birthday when the stage was over. Did she get mad?" "Hah, she did, but it was more about your actions." Hyunggu let out a relieved breath. "That's good, but what about them?" "You're gonna be the death of her." They shared a laugh.
The step-siblings continued to talk as Yuto slightly frowned because he and Chaewon weren't going to leave yet for their weekly late night date. "So, Yuto, why the long face, huh?" Wooseok asked as he softly shouldered his friend to get his attention. "It's nothing." "Right." "Really, it's nothing." Yuto assured his friend although Wooseok cast him a knowingly look. "Mmhmm." Yuto just stared at him as Wooseok backed off with a laugh. "Whatever you say man." "I think he's a little jealous." Yanan mused coming up to the other side of Yuto. "Chaewon is spending time with Kino instead of her soon-to-be boyfriend."
Yuto looked over at Yanan with a neutral face. "I'm not jealous." "You sound jealous." Changgu interjected with a laugh and then a nod later. "Yeah, you look jealous, too." "I'm not." Yuto said in a firm tone while looking over at Changgu who raised his eyebrows with a grin. "Sure you aren't." "Hey, leave poor Yuto alone." Hongseok came to his friend's defense with a sympathic look. "It's not like this is the first time he's being completely ignored by Chaewon who's done this to him on several occasions." Hongseok then erupted into a small chuckle as Yuto rolled his eyes while crossing his arms. "She doesn't completely ignore me."
Chaewon finally came up to them as she latched a hand onto Yuto's forearm. "See, she doesn't ignore me all the time." Yuto said as the female looked at the male weirdly. "What?" "It's nothing." He cast her a sweet smile while she shrugged. "Okay, let's go." She grinned while pulling the male away and shooting the rest a wave. "Later guys. Have a good night." "Bye and the same to the both of you, too." The group of eight bid them while laughing. Yuto glared at them as Chaewon pulled the both of them out of the room not really caring about the laughter she just heard already knowing that she and Yuto have been teased enough for tonight.
When the two were out of the house and on the campus' grounds under the night sky, Yuto and Chaewon were comfortably walking around with their arms hooked together. "Y'know I don't ignore you on purpose, right?" Chaewon suddenly spoke as Yuto smiled. "I know. You're just too lazy." Chaewon laughed as she tightened her hold onto his arm. "Cool. We're clear on that part." "Well," Yuto began as Chaewon glanced at him. "Well, what?" "When we're around the guys though could you pay a little more attention towards me?" "Haha, I'll try." Yuto slightly pouted before smiling afterwards when Chaewon pecked him on the cheek.
The duo continued to walk towards their destination when there were several howlings going off consecutively in the distance and Chaewon felt Yuto's gripped tightened around her arm in almost a death-like grip. "Um, Yuto, are you okay?" "No." "Are you scared?" "Something like that." "Of what?" "The dark." "The stars are out." "And ghosts." "Those were dogs." "You never know, Chaewon." The female chuckled as she patted his hand in assurance. "Don't worry, Yuto. It's okay to be afraid and scared of the dark and ghosts. Although Chaeyeon did mention that dogs can see ghosts and usually bark when they see them close by."
Just then the pair heard a few barks nearby that spooked Yuto. "What was that? Did you hear that?" Chaewon couldn't help it as she laugh at the male's behavior. "I think it was a dog barking." "Don't laugh, Won." "I'm sorry, Yuto." "No you're not." "True. You're right. I'm not." The female chuckled as Yuto frowned. "This wasn't how our date was supposed to go." "It's okay, Yuto. It happens." "No, Chaewon, you don't get it. We were supposed to have a nice and quiet late night walk where I ask you to be my girlfriend." Yuto admitted without realizing it as he continued to talk. "Not get teased by the others and scared by dogs."
Chaewon stopped walking a second later causing Yuto to jerk a bit and stared at Chaewon. "What's wrong?" "What was it that you said before the last thing?" "Not teased by the others and scared by dogs?" Yuto re-stated. "Not that one. The other part." Yuto tried to think back on what he had said before he realized what he had said as his eyes widened. "Ask you to be my girlfriend." He repeated as Chaewon nodded with a skeptic expression. "Are you serious? Or did you just say that to distract yourself?" The male suddenly avoided eye contact, but the female moved back into his line of sight.
"Yuto." She said his name again as he focused his attention back onto Chaewon. "Please, Yuto, no bullshit." She told him while taking a hold of his hand. "I've had enough of that this year and don't want to deal with anymore." She gave his hand a squeeze when she saw him direct his eyes elsewhere and he gazed back at her. "Were you serious?" The male let out a long breath as he nodded while biting his lower lip nervously. "Yeah." The female smiled slowly as she leaned in to kiss the male a little longer than she would normally. "Yes." She agreed after pulling away causing Yuto to look at her weirdly. "What?"
"I said 'yes' to being your girlfriend, Yuto." Chaewon confirmed as Yuto broke into a large smile as he automatically wrapped his arms around her. "I'm so happy, Won. I thought you would've said no and that you were still hung up on that ex of yours." Yuto admitted in almost a whisper. "You're so silly, Yuto." Chaewon chuckled as she returned the hug. "Obviously, you really don't have to worry about him." She grinned at the male. "I like you now." Yuto smiled as he leaned in for another kiss. "Good, because I've been wanting to ask you for days now." "What made you wanna do it tonight?" Chaewon asked him as the two continued walking.
"The others kept teasing me and I had a feeling they were saying stuff when you were hugging earlier." Yuto explained as Chaewon laughed. "Yeah." Then a sly appeared on the female's face. "Hey." "Hm?" Yuto said not aware of what she was about to pull on him. "How about we change our date a bit?" "To what?" "To... Leaving Adachi Yuto in the dark!" Chaewon exclaimed as she ran off while laughing. "Chaewon! Don't leave your new boyfriend like that!" Yuto called after her as he ran after her. "I just told you I was scared of the dark! Lee Chaewon!" Chaewon eventually returned to his side and making it up to him with kisses and hugs.

Maybe, I Could Be
Pairing: PTG’s Yuto x OC [Chaewon] || PTG’s Hui x OC [Chaeyeon] Genre: college!au, slice of life, slight fluff, slight angst Word Count: 9,034 Summary: Chaeyeon and Chaewon have moved on from their ex-boyfriends, yet they somehow keep on coming back. Not sure what they can do except repeat the same words over and over to tell them that they're done and won't return to them at all. Somehow along the way, both girls end up getting help by their step-brother's friends that they've only officially met a week ago. They just hoped it doesn't worsen the situation even more. part two {Obviously}
Warning: possessive and jealous ex-boyfriends (GOT7′s Mark & JB), some young adult theme, um... unhealthy relationships of love and friendship of sorts... more or less.
i just needed to use names and so the GOT7 boys aren’t portray as they are in real life and are actual biases of my sister and i. so yeah, it was easier that way to write like so. but other than that i do not condone those in real life. i didn’t even think about it as i wrote this out and it just came and i honestly think it was just because i’ve witnessed this with my family and friends and so how it partially came to be. anyways, but uh... happy reading i guess and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
"Invitation, please." The young PTG member who was doing door checks for the Phi Tau Gamma's event asked both Chaeyeon and Chaewon when it was their turn to enter inside the Phi Tau Gamma's house. The sisters presented their invitations while they waited for him to mark the tickets. "Once inside, you're unable to leave when the event starts. Once you leave, you can't come back in." He reminded them as both females nodded while passing him and through the doors to head on inside. "This is a pretty big house." Chaeyeon commented while following Chaewon as they followed the signs of where to go.
"Well, it is a frat house, Yeon. What do you expect?" Chaewon laughed as Chaeyeon rolled her eyes. "I know that, but I just don't get why Gu wanted us to come to this event or whatever. He's not a member is he?" "I don't know. I never asked him." Soon they came upon another young PTG member who was standing outside the door that would actually lead them inside the main area. "Hello. Please placed your invitation into one of these ten boxes." He informed while pointing at the blue and black boxes that had pictures of the PTG members on them. "Whoever invited you, but let me marked your wrist with your seats first."
"Oh." The sisters said as they placed their invitations into their step-brother's box upon seeing his face although no name was associated with it. "Okay, thanks. These are for you." The young male spoke again as he handed each of them five golden pieces of paper. "Please don't lose these. You'll need them for the event when all the stages have been completed. It's necessary so do as your told once they announced further details about what to do with them." The male explained before letting the pair passed on through after they nodded indicating they understood what he meant.
Once inside they were amazed to see almost all of the seats completely filled. "This must be some event if Hyunggu wanted us to be here." Chaeyeon said as Chaewon smiled. "Probably. I just know he was excited about this." "I guess, Won, but Gu better show himself later. I didn't skipped out on my 'me time' for nothing tonight." "Stop being a loner. You don't do anything anyways on Saturdays. So you need to get out more." "No I don't, Won." "Yeah, yeah, let's go look for our seats." Chaewon lead them to their designated seats which weren't that hard to find due to the large letters and numbers placed for easy access to direct them.
"Hello everyone! Thank you for joining us tonight." Another young PTG member who was the MC announced once everyone was settled and the event began. "We have some lovely stages for you all to enjoy tonight from our members who put on this show for our very first charity fundraiser we hope to make as a monthly thing from now on." The MC explained. "The golden tickets you were given are votes that actually helps to which of these charities it will go to based upon the five members who wins. So when all is done, everyone will come up and placed one golden ticket between which five of the ten stages you liked the best."
The crowd began chattering as the MC continued once he quieted the audience. "Also, the actual event ticket you used as your invitation to enter from earlier that you placed it into a box of who you were invited by. This will actually help with another thing we're trying to do monthly as well." He clapped his hand excitedly. "Now, this is the real fun. There are ten performances as we have a one on one battle with our ten members." He announced the first round challengers. "For our first stage it's Shinwon versus Yeo One! Which of the two are going to captivate you guys with their emotional vocals?! Let's find out!"
Shinwon came on the stage first accompanied by a keyboard. "Hey, Won, it's your best-est friend in the whole wide world as so he claims." Chaeyeon said with a chuckle. "I didn't know Shinwon could play the piano." "Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that." Chaewon answered with a laugh. After Shinwon, Changgu came out as Chaewon nudged her sister with a sly look. "Hey, Yeon, there's your best friend that likes to bug you all the time." Chaeyeon rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything. "Both of them were amazing, weren't they? Give them a round of applause." The MC said before announcing the second challengers.
"Now getting into our second stage it's Yuto versus Kino! They'll be showing us a spectacular performance and it'll be a showdown between the both of them and which one of them will blow your minds?! Let's find out!" Yuto came out and Chaewon suddenly had heart eyes. "You can stop drooling, Won." Chaeyeon teased as Chaewon rolled her eyes. "Not even." After Yuto, Hyunggu walked out soon after as Chaeyeon looked at him weirdly. "Did he mentioned going by Kino to you at all, Won?" "Um, I really don't remember. I think Gu mentioned it once or twice. Shit, I don't know."
"Whoo! They sure heated up the room, didn't they?" The MC joked before continuing. "Alright. We're halfway through and we have E'Dawn versus Wooseok as they go at it to show us who's rap is the best! Of course, that all depends on who you all side with in the end. So let's find out!" When Hyojung came out Chaeyeon recognized him. "Hey, that's one of Hyunggu's dancing buddies that likes to tease him a lot. I didn't know he went by something else." Chaewon nodded. "Maybe it's a PTG thing or something." "Makes sense." After Hyojung's performance, Wooseok came out with a familiar beat that Chaeyeon groaned. "I hate this song."
"You hate everything." Chaewon deadpanned as Chaeyeon smiled. "True. Luckily his voice isn't that bad." "I like it." The MC came back out after Wooseok's performance while doing a little jig and laughing after doing it. "Awesome sauce. So far it's been amazing and now we're bringing the mood down for our next stage with Yanan versus Hongseok! Which of these will win your hearts as they confront you with sweet ballads?! Let's get it on!" Yanan came out first with Chaewon letting out a loud cheer. "Whoo! Yeah, go Yanan!" "You know him?" Chaeyeon asked as Chaewon nodded. "Yeah, he's in my statistics class and has such a lovely voice."
Once Yanan finished Hongseok came out next with Chaewon nudging her sister constantly. "Stop that." Chaeyeon told her, but Chaewon did it again with a playful look. "Oh, c'mon Yeon. It's your boy friend. As his girl friend you need to cheer for him." "Seok doesn't need my cheers, Won. He has plenty of fans for that. Besides, now that I think about it I think he tried inviting me to this thing before Hyunggu did." "And you being you, he knew that you'll won't come." "Yup." "Rude." "Not even." When Hongseok finished the MC came out once more while clapping.
"Those two performances really touched my heart. Those feels really hit the heart." The MC pretended to wipe away a tear before announcing the last round of challenges. "Now, our last two performers will showcase their awesome vocals! It's Hui versus Jinho as they put their vocal power to the test! Who do you think has what it takes?! Let's get it on!" When Hwitaek came out Chaewon was already nudging her sister with a laugh. "He seems like your type." "I don't have a type, Won." Chaeyeon rolled her eyes. "I'm usually right, y'know." "Yeah, that's what you said about Jaebum." "Still your type despite his controlling attitude." "Shut up."
Jinho went next after Hwitaek was done performing. "Aww, it's little cutie Jinho!" Chaewon cooed as Chaeyeon laughed. "You know how much he hates being called cute, Won." "I know, but he doesn't have to know that." "True, but I honestly didn't know that some of the guys we know were apart of PTG." "Me either." The MC appeared once again when Jinho was done as he clapped and cheered for all the performers. "Alright, ladies and gentlemen. Now that all the stages have been cleared we'll invite all of you to come on stage to cast in your votes. Don't worry, everything has been labeled." He told them with a smile before continuing.
"Anyways, the results will be posted on our social media accounts tomorrow. If you haven't followed us yet, then please do so as you'll all be better informed about anything regarding Phi Tau Gamma." The MC said with a laugh. "Now, if you all come up to vote that would be great. Please don't push one another as we all want this to go smoothly as possible. Once done, you'll be shown out and thank you all for coming! Have a great night people!" He finished as the crowd quickly stood up to cast in their votes, but the sisters sat where they were while they waited for a majority of the people to go through first.
"It wasn't that bad. It was okay." Chaeyeon commented as Chaewon grinned. "I knew you would have fun." "Yeah, yeah, whatever Won, it was fun." The younger woman then cast the older woman a sly look. "Good, because after this we have somewhere else to be." Chaeyeon groaned. "Ugh. I knew you were going to drag me somewhere else, too." "That's right." The pair then got up when the crowd died down as they went up to cast in their votes with Chaewon having a difficult time in voting for some of the stages while Chaeyeon knew who she already wanted to vote for.
Chaewon struggled between Hyunggu and Yuto. "Ugh, Yeon. Who should I vote for?" "Well, Won, I'm going to vote for Hyunggu for sure." Chaeyeon laughed. "Just vote for Yuto. The little bro won't know." She suggested as Chaewon did just that a moment later. "He better not, unless you tell him." "Yeah, unless I say something, but who knows if I will or not." "Probably not." "Exactly." The sisters continued on before being directed out of the house once they were done casting their votes. "Alright, let's go." Chaewon said as Chaeyeon followed her sister. "Where are we going?" "Oh nothing special. Just gonna hang out and eat." "Yeah, right."
"Wonnie!" Shinwon exclaimed upon seeing Chaewon first when she and Chaeyeon entered the burger joint. "Hey, Shinwon!" She greeted him back as the duo hugged and he spotted Chaeyeon behind her while letting Chaewon go. "Hey, Yeonnie." He grinned as she waved at him, but saw his facial expression and reluctantly went in for a hug. "Hi, Shinwon." "At least sound happy when you see me." He pouted as she rolled her eyes. "You got Won for that." "Oh right. I forgot you have your boy friend, Hongseok, over there." He teased while indicating with his head in Hongseok's direction. "Shut up."
Shinwon placed his arms around both sisters' shoulders as he led them to their large tables. "Hey, guys. Look who showed up." He announced while letting them go as the group of nine looked over at the trio. Chaewon went around the table hugging those that she knew, but didn't want to leave out the others and hugged them as well who were opened to the gesture and hugged her back. Shinwon ended up with a hug twice. Chaeyeon stayed put as she watched her sister hug the guys leaving Hyunggu to come over to her and hug her first. "Hey, Yeon." He greeted with a grinned as Chaeyeon shot him a small smile. "Hi, Gu."
"I'm glad you guys came." He said once Chaewon was done hugging the others. "Of course, little bro." She smiled at him. "Had to convinced this one hardcore though." Chaewon said as she pointed in Chaeyeon's direction with Hyunggu hugging Chaewon afterwards with a chuckle. "Hehe thanks, Won." "You're welcome." He glanced at Chaeyeon. "Glad to see you interacting, Yeon." He chuckled as Chaeyeon rolled her eyes. "Okay, Gu, you saw me and now I'm gonna go. You got Won now." "Aww, Yeon, don't be like that. Your boy friend was just asking about you."
Hyunggu teased as he motioned his head at Hongseok who waved at the duo with a warm smile. "You guys are so annoying." "You still love us." Hyunggu grinned as he led his step-sisters closer to introduced them to the rest of his friends. "Guys, I think most of you met them already, but not formally." He began, "These are my sisters, Chaewon," He tilted his head to the left before tilting it to the right, "And this is Chaeyeon." Before Hyunggu could introduce the names of his friends to his step-sisters, the others sprouted their own questions and concerns a second later.
"I thought you only had one sister named Minju." Wooseok said in confusion. "Chaewon's your step-sister? Since when?" Shinwon asked surprised while looking over at Chaewon who shrugged with a smile. "No way Chaeyeon's your step-sister, Kino, or she would have said something about knowing you." Hongseok said looking over at Chaeyeon who just smiled at him. "That Chaeyeon is the same Chaeyeon that I always bug about sharing her jelly snacks with me?" Changgu asked while pointing at Chaeyeon who glared at him. "Yeah, Changgu." "It's Yeo One." He corrected. "Mmhmm." "You still owe me jellies." "No. I don't."
"No, wait. I'm confused. The Chaewon in my statistics class is the same Chaewon who's your sister, Kino?" Yanan asked as he tried to process the information while Chaewon laughed. "Yeah, Yanan, that's still me. The one and same Chaewon." She confirmed as Hyunggu put his hands up to quiet his friends. "Long story short, our parents married one another over the summer and now we're siblings. They're my step-sisters." He clarified causing everyone to calm down. "Ohhhh." "C'mon, let's get settled now that we're all here and the food should be coming out soon." Hyunggu said as he motioned for his sisters to sit on either side of him.
Chaewon sat next to Jinho while Chaeyeon sat beside Hyojung. "I always thought you were Kino's girlfriend." Hyojung laughed as Chaeyeon scoffed. "This kid's girlfriend?" She pointed at Hyunggu. "Yeah, right. More like his mother since he's so mischievous and such a troublemaker." "No I'm not." Hyunggu defended himself. "You're just naggy." "I know right." Chaewon agreed. "Now you know my pain for these past years." "She's not that bad." Jinho reasoned as Chaeyeon leaned over her brother and sister to give him a high-five. "She just has her moments." Chaeyeon frowned as she retreated back without her high-five while Jinho laughed.
"Anyways, did you two enjoy our performances?" Hwitaek asked just casually starting conversations. "Oh, yes, it was amazing!" Chaewon said with excitement. "All of you were great." "Who did you vote for?" Yuto asked casually, but his eyes seemed to have lingered on Chaewon a second longer. "It's a secret." Chaewon answered with a playful laugh as Chaeyeon replied with the truth in a neutral tone. "Yeo One, Kino, E'Dawn, Hongseok, and Hui." "Oh, why, why, why?" The others asked when their names weren't called or were called and wanted to know why Chaeyeon said who she voted for.
She finally got her moment to explain. "Sorry Shinwon, but I like Changgu's voice a little more." Chaeyeon pointed at Changgu who smiled at her. "Alright, so you don't hate me." "I still do, jelly stealer." "I said I would paid you back." "Yeah, that's been like a year already." "I'm still working on it." Shinwon faked pouted as he interjected on the conversation. "What, Chaeyeon? Like that? Our friendship out the window just like that?" "You're Chaewon's friend more than you are with me, Shin." Chaeyeon rolled her eyes at Shinwon chuckled. "I know, Yeon, but you're easy too tease." "Am not." She grumbled.
"Anyways," She continued on before throwing a thumb in Hyunggu's direction. "Because he's my brother, obviously." "That can't be the only reason, Yeon." Hyunggu said as Chaeyeon dismissed him. "Yes it is." "Wow." She ignored him with a smile. "And I know him a bit better." She directed a thumb at Hyojung who patted her on the back. "That's good to know that you chose me because you know me better than Wooseok." Hyojung chuckled as she smiled. "Yup." Then pointed at Hongseok with an aloof expression. "Hongseok is just because he's Hongseok."
"I still can't believe you didn't come when I invited you way before Kino did, Yeon, but you still came for him at the end instead of for me." Hongseok sulked as Chaeyeon smirked. "You have your other fangirls to impress, Seok." "But you're still my best girl friend, y'know, Yeon." "I know." "Wow." Chaeyeon laughed with a shake of her head as she then looked over at Hwitaek while motioning her chin at him. "And I thought his performance was more engaging and fun. Sorry Jinho." She apologized to Jinho with a small smile as Jinho pouted. "I thought we were friends." "We're not really friends." "Rude." "You got Won, anyways." "Still."
Chaeyeon stood up while speaking. "I need to use the restroom. I'll be back soon." "You better." Chaewon remarked as she glared after her sister's retreating back. "I don't think she'll be back." Hyunggu chuckled as Chaewon agreed. "I know." She then looked about the table and realized that her sister and her were the only females at the table. "Um, are there any other girls coming, too?" "It's just us." Hongseok answered with a smile before becoming playful. "Feeling shy, Won?" "No." She then looked around her surrounding and over her shoulders with a face. "I just don't want to get attacked by any of your fangirls."
"We don't have fangirls." Wooseok said with a confused face. "Phi Tau Gamma is pretty popular." She stated while pointing at Yanan with a laugh. "I feel so bad for Yanan during class because all the girls surround him and talk about stupid stuff. When they aren't surrounding him then I get glares when him and I are partnered for a lot of the assignments because none of them get paired up with him. It's really annoying." Chaewon then looked over at Yanan. "I think we should stop working together. It's getting in the way of my studying." "I'm sorry." Yanan apologized as Chaewon chuckled. "I was just joking." "Oh. I thought you were serious."
"Won's never serious." Shinwon remarked as Chaewon grinned at him while making a gun motion at him. "Only sometimes." "Hi!" Their waitress greeted them as she brought out their food with the help of another waitresses. She then spotted Chaewon and frowned. "Um, you're part of the large group, too?" "Yeah. My sister and I just got here." "Oh, I see." She said and then ignored Chaewon as she and the other waitress passed out the boys' food and left without taking Chaewon's order. "The fuck." She looked over at Hyunggu. "That's why I told you to put in our order because girls like them do this when it's a only bunch of guys."
"Sorry, Won." Hyunggu apologized with a sad expression. "We did tell them that we had two more people joining us and they were okay with it." "It's whatever, Gu. Don't worry about it. That's them." "Here, Won, you can have some of my shrimp pasta." Jinho said with a smile as he took the plate from beneath his rectangular bowl and started transferring some of his pasta contents to share with Chaewon. "It's okay, Jinho." "No, take some. I know you like pasta just as me although I can share unlike you." Chaewon smiled. "Very true, but thanks, Jinho." "You're welcome, Won."
"Hey, Kino." Hwitaek called for the younger male's attention after a few more minutes have passed. "Aren't you concern that your other sister hasn't come back yet?" Both Hyunggu and Chaewon instantly turned to Chaeyeon's empty seat with the others doing the same a second later. "How long has it been already?" Yuto asked as Changgu's eyes shifted towards the direction of where the restrooms were located. "I think it's been at least twenty minutes by now." "You think she fell in?" Wooseok joked as some of them chuckled.
"Maybe she did make an escape." Hongseok chuckled with a shake of his head. "She usually does and only a handful of times does she stay." "Maybe." Hyunggu nodded as Chaewon shook her head. "Although she would, but I drove so she can't leave unless she take the bus which she won't since she forgot her wallet." "Sounds like Yeon." Jinho chuckled as Yanan spoke a second later. "Oh, there she is." Yanan said as he pointed upon seeing Chaeyeon returning, but his eyebrows furrowed. "But she looks a bit mad or something." "Hey there, Yeon." Hyojung greeted her.
"Took you long enough to come back." He teased a second later, but Chaeyeon didn't hear him as she whispered into her sister's ear. "We gotta go." "Why?" Chaewon asked before looking at Chaeyeon and frowned. "Have you been crying?" "That's not the point, Won. Let's go." "The food just came and I just started eating." "We need to go now. Seriously, Won." Chaeyeon urged as her eyes darted elsewhere while Chaewon turned to see where her sister was looking and groaned. "Oh shit." She let out upon seeing a few people she didn't want to see and wished she listened to Chaeyeon a second ago.
"Well, what do we have here?" A male voiced asked as the ten members of PTG turned their attention to the seven GOT members standing before them with the Jaebum speaking while he cast a look in Chaeyeon's direction. "This is where you would rather be, Yeon?" "Don't do this here, JB. We've been done for months now." "I'll deal with you again later because we're not here for you and I now. We're here because of Chaewon." "They've been done for months now, too. So don't do this." Chaewon stood up. "It's okay, Yeon. It's not our fault that they can't drop their issues and always have to bring it up every time they see us."
Chaewon turned her attention onto one particular member of GOT. "This is so embarrassing, Mark, and you and I both know it." "I'm just asking for another chance, Won." "And I said no so many times, Mark. I don't get why you can't comprehend that." "C'mon, Won. Gamma Omega Tau's a whole lot better than Phi Tau Gamma." "I don't care. Just go already." "Not without you, Won." "Mark, we're not together anymore and you know that. You have Jessica or Holly or whatever her name is now." "But she's not you." "Should've thought of that sooner, huh? Now please just go." "I'm not going until you take me back."
"I think both of them said they don't want anything to do with you, so why don't you just go?" Hyunggu advised while standing up alongside his step-sisters. "This doesn't concern you, squirt, so back off." Jaebum glared at Hyunggu before Chaeyeon moved to stand in front of her step-brother and sister protectively as he cast her a look while taking a step closer causing the rest of PTG to stand up as well in defense mode. "What? Is this the new little boyfriend of yours you've left me for?" "No. He is." Chaeyeon pointed at Hongseok and in an instant Hongseok made his way to Chaeyeon's side and squared of Jaebum.
"I don't appreciate you hounding my girl friend and her sister when they already told you to back off. I would suggest for you and your crew to leave before something ugly happens." Hongseok said in a firm tone while placing his arm to move Chaeyeon behind him. "People are beginning to stare so I don't think you wanna cause a bigger scene than you already have." "Fine." Jaebum relented, but cast dark eyes onto Chaeyeon who glared back at him. "We're not done." "The same to you too, Won." Mark added still staring at Chaewon who just rolled her eyes as the seven members of GOT finally left the group of twelve alone.
Chaeyeon lightly back-hugged Hongseok while letting out a relieved breath. "Thank you so much, Seok." Hongseok patted her hand with a warm smile. "You're welcome, Yeon. Any time." Chaeyeon removed her arms from around Hongseok while Hongseok patted her head. "Just be more careful." "I will." "Good." Hongseok returned back to his seat while Chaewon slightly smacked Hyunggu in the butt playfully. "Next time, Gu, just stay out of it. Thanks though." "What? I can't protect my sisters?" He glanced at them as both sisters shook their heads. "No, because then it causes more drama." Chaewon stated as Hyunggu rolled his eyes.
"Then what about Hongseok? He protected Yeon by being her boyfriend." "Because that's just our deal since we've known each other whenever we need help in situations like the one that just happened just now." Chaeyeon explained as Hongseok nodded. "Yup although Yeon needs my help more than I need hers since we agreed to doing that." "Yeah, okay, when one of your fangirl gets it into her head a little too much next time, don't call me." "I was only kidding." "Sure." Chaeyeon then glanced around at the others who all were now seated with an apologetic expression. "Sorry that you guys had to see that."
The males all dismissed it casually with 'it's okay' while Hyunggu pulled Chaeyeon back down to her seat. "Forget them, Yeon. Let's eat." She groaned. "Now I remember what I was supposed to do before running into them." Chaewon cast her sister a narrowed look. "You were gonna run away, huh?" Chaeyeon laughed. "Yeah." "This girl." Chaewon laughed while digging into her shrimp pasta. "So rude, Yeon." Hyunggu pouted as Chaeyeon patted his thigh with a chuckle. "You'll get over it." He rolled his eyes, but smiled. "Still, thanks for coming." "Welcome." "Okay, Yeon, now eat." Hyojung grinned as he halfed his meal with Chaeyeon. "Thanks, Hyo." 
Chaeyeon was quietly studying in one of the music rooms in the Music department as she was waiting for her friend, Sunmi, to finish what she needed to finish before going on their weekly lunch date. "Hey, Yeon?" Sunmi called for her friend's attention as Chaeyeon didn't look up, but still answered her. "Hmm?" "I'll be right back. I have to see my advisor about something and then we can go get lunch, okay?" "Okay." "Thanks and I'll be back." Sunmi said as she left the room leaving Chaeyeon to herself who was almost done with her studying until she heard the door open again a few minutes later.
"That was fa-" The rest of Chaeyeon's words got caught in her throat as she stared at her ex-boyfriend before sighing. "What are you doing here, JB?" "I'm majoring in music, Yeon. I'm pretty sure you know that." Jaebum answered with a smirked as he made his way towards the female who was already packing her things. "I do, but I meant why are you here in this room." She re-worded as she shot him a tired look already done packing her things and about to go. "I honestly don't know why you keep on going round and round with this who thing, Jaebum." She told him with another tired expression. "You're just wasting your time."
Chaeyeon made her way to leave out of the room, but Jaebum blocked her path. "You're not leaving until I get what I want." "Well, you can't have everything you want, Jaebum, that's life." Chaeyeon remarked side-stepping around him only to be grabbed by her arm to face Jaebum again. "I had you once, Chaeyeon, and I'll have you again." Jaebum told her with a dark tone while Chaeyeon's body tensed with the familiar feeling as this has happened once before, but without the physical aspect of it. "You're not going to control me or my life again, JB." Chaeyeon told him with a firm voice and hoped it would stay for a bit longer.
With her other hand Chaeyeon placed it onto his wrist to removed it from her other arm. "And I would advised you to not put your hands on me again." "I'll do wha-" Jaebum didn't get to finish his sentence because Chaeyeon had push his body away from her with as much force as she could muster before running towards the door to make her escape. Just as she had got the door opened it slammed shut a second later with Jaebum's body pressed against hers trapping her between him and the door. "I told you, Yeon." He breathed against her. "I'll have you like I did before."
Feeling desperate to get out of this situation Chaeyeon placed her palms against the door to push Jaebum off of her with enough force that had him stumbled back off of her. She took this chance to turn around and threw her bag at him to distract the male further. "I told you to not put your hands on me!" She screamed while charging against him and pushing him backwards to collide with the chairs and musical stands. "I'll never go back to you! So why can't you understand that?!" She yelled at him while picking up her bag and hitting him with it a couple of times. "Stop your shit. This is my final warning, Jaebum. Leave me the fuck alone!"
Chaeyeon hit Jaebum with her book-bag one last time before making a run out of the room, but she collided against another body and tumbled to the floor a few seconds later after running out of the music room. "Whoa there, are you okay?" A male voice asked as he tried helping her up with Chaeyeon's mind wanting to get out of there as fast as possible. Before she could run away again the guy happened to recognized her when Chaeyeon unconsciously ran a hand through her hair to smooth it out and out of her face. "Are you okay, Chaeyeon? Do I need to call Kino or get a hold of Chaewon for you?"
"What?" Chaeyeon let out distractedly upon hearing her siblings' names before facing the guy and remembering him when they've met a week ago. "Oh hi, um, Hui, right?" "Yeah, that's my nickname. Hwitaek's my real name." He smiled at her warmly, but frown as he noticed her eyes darting to the left of her as if she was worried about something. "Is something the matter?" "I-" Chaeyeon didn't get to finish as they both heard her name being called loudly while turning to the source. Jaebum stormed towards the duo with Chaeyeon instantly clutching onto Hwitaek's arm for comfort which alerted Hwitaek that something was not right.
Hwitaek moved in front of Chaeyeon while moving her behind him in a protective manner upon seeing Jaebum's disheveled state. "Move. I need to talk to my girlfriend." Jaebum ordered Hwitaek once he arrived, but Hwitaek shook his head with a firm stance. "Last I heard she wasn't your girlfriend anymore." "Well, you heard wrong and she's mine again. Now move." "No. From what I can see, Chaeyeon doesn't want anything to do with you." "Fuck you man. You're not a part of this. Unless your her boyfriend, which you're not because I am, it's between Yeon and I. Now move. I won't repeat myself again."
"Fuck you, Jaebum." Chaeyeon let out in an exasperated tone. "We're not together. Can't you see I want nothing to do with you? Hwi, tell him." Hwitaek heard the nickname and continued to go along with it. "Like Yeon said, you're not together." Hwitaek told Jaebum with a calm face. "Now, if you'll excuse us, my girlfriend and I, and yes I'm her boyfriend and not you, but we're running late for our lunch date." At first Chaeyeon was confused, but she went with it not even a second later. "Yes, Jaebum. Hwi and I have a lunch date. Can't you see that I've moved on? Please get that through your head."
Jaebum didn't back down as his eyes narrowed suspiciously at the duo. "He's not your boyfriend when that other dude claimed to be your boyfriend, too, Yeon. Are you sleeping around with a bunch of guys to spite me and telling them to be your boyfriend?" Chaeyeon wanted to beat the shit out of the guy. "I'm not sleeping with anyone. Just leave me the fuck alone, JB. I don't have time for your dumb ass shit anymore. This is why we broke up in the first place." Before Jaebum could counter or Chaeyeon could continue another voice interrupted them to which Chaeyeon recognized. "Hey, JB, did it work out?" Sunmi asked with a smile.
"Really, Sunmi?" Chaeyeon turned to face her friend with a betrayed expression. "I told you that I wanted nothing to do with him and you went behind my back?" "C'mon, Chaeyeon. JB isn't the one at fault. You were the one that really made him upset with you. You're lucky that the president of GOT even likes you and wants to be your boyfriend." Sunmi defended Jaebum who smiled at the female. "If it was me, I would be super thrilled to have JB as my boyfriend." "Then he's all yours, Sunmi. I'm done with his shit." Chaeyeon told her with a disgusted look. "I can't believe you would take his side instead of mine."
Chaeyeon then shot a fierce look in Jaebum's direction. "The next time you come near me again, JB, expect a restraining order on your ass." She finally faced her supposed friend. "I really expected better from you, Sunmi." Chaeyeon ran a hand through her hair as she adjusted her backpack on her shoulder before taking a hold of Hwitaek's hand who watched the scene silently. "C'mon Hwi. Let's get out of here." "Oh, right." Hwitaek let out confused before recovering and letting Chaeyeon lead them away with neither of them glancing back as Jaebum glared after the two and Sunmi frowning upon what had just happened.
Once Hwitaek and Chaeyeon exited the Music building she let go of his hand and let out a deep breath. "I'm really sorry about all of that, Hwitaek." She apologized while turning to face the male as he smiled at her. "Don't apologize, Chaeyeon. It wasn't your fault. I'm glad to have helped out Kino's sister as one of his friends." "Yeah, thanks, but you really didn't have to go so far with the whole boyfriend thing." He let out an embarrassed laugh as the two were now casually walking. "Oh yeah. Well, Hongseok made it looked easy, but I figured it'll work again since that guy backed off when Hongseok helped you out last time."
Chaeyeon smiled at him while letting out a small laugh. "Yeah, well, Seok has had some experienced with that kind of thing that's why." Hwitaek raised an eyebrow as his interest was piqued. "Oh, so this is a common thing that happens with you often, Yeon?" Chaeyeon laughed in shy embarrassment as she thought about it. "Kinda now that you mentioned it. I need to stay away from guys. Wait, scratched that. I need to stay away from relationships in general." "Aw, Yeon don't think like that. I thought you and I were going to get lunch since you called me Hwi and we've become friends now."
She eyed the male. "It was to convince Jaebum that you and I were on friendly basis." Hwitaek pouted while also showing her puppy eyes. "And here I thought you and I were going to get lunch and get to know one another better." "Am I going to have to worry about you popping up more often in my life, too?" His expression changed as he laughed while dismissing her notion in a friendly way. "If you're Kino's sister and you'll be around more often since he finally introduced you, Chaeyeon, I think it'll be highly likely for you to see me around as often as you would not like to."
"So basically, Hwitaek, I'm going to have to worry about you popping up around me upon campus then." She deadpanned with a smile as Hwitaek laughed with a nod. "Yeah, basically." "I guess I'll have to deal with it then and I do owe you my appreciation for helping me out with my situation." "Okay, good, because I'm hungry and I haven't eaten since last night." "Why not?" She looked at him in alarmed as he reassured her. "Oh, it's nothing bad or anything. I just stayed up all night working on this music composition and just finished it a while ago." "And then you had to deal with Jaebum after that. I am so sorry, Hwitaek."
Chaeyeon apologized before speaking again. "Are you sure you don't want to sleep instead?" "And miss out on a lunch date with you? No way." Hwitaek grinned with a wink while she rolled her eyes. "You better be careful, Hwi, or my other pretend boy friend will find out." "I'm sure Hongseok will understand although he told me once that you needed a real boyfriend since he won't always be there to help you out." "Oh really?" "Yeah, he also said something about you being quite needy." Chaeyeon raised a brow. "His words, not mine so don't take it out on me."Hwitaek told her as he put a few more inches of space between them.
"That brat." Chaeyeon scoffed before looking over at him. "And what? You want to fill that role or something?" "I wasn't planning on it, but since you mentioned it now I don't mind if it helps you out, Yeon." "I don't even know you and we only officially met like last week, Hwi." "True, but you did vote for me instead of Jinho." "That doesn't mean anything." "You also called me Hwi instead of by my full name." "Because it's easier." "It means you like me a little." "I think there's something going on in that head of yours due to the lack of sleep." "Maybe or I just find you a bit interesting and want to get to know you better now that it's just us."
Chaeyeon eyed him. "You don't want to. I have horrible people skills and prefer to spend my time alone and with books." She then threw a thumb behind her. "Couldn't you tell by my ex-boyfriend and maybe now ex-friend?" "Those are only two people of many." He reasoned with a smile. "Besides, I've heard plenty of stories about you from Kino, E'Dawn, Jinho, Hongseok, Shinwon, and Yeo One." "So that means you guys talk about me behind my back?" "Yes, but they're not all bad things, Yeon." She eyed him once again as he cast her a reassuring look. "Really, they're great stories. You're quite the character, Yeon."
"And what, Hwitaek? You want to enter the Book of Lee Chaeyeon so you can join me?" Chaeyeon sarcastically asked as Hwitaek laughed at her reaction. "I'm pretty sure you already asked me, but in a different form." "I did, but it's whatever." She shrugged as she looked over at him. "I guess we can just get something to eat. It doesn't have to mean anything." He looked over at her as well. "True, but who knows? Maybe you'll want to do it again." "Maybe." "That's still a yes in my book." He laughed as Chaeyeon eyed him again. "Maybe you need a new book." He smiled. "Let's set that up for a library date next time." "Maybe."
Chaewon arrived first at the cafe that she and Shinwon agreed to meet at for their weekly lunch dates. She had just put in an order for her drink when someone took a seat across from her while she was reading through the menu. "Finally, Shinwon." She said with a roll of her eyes while putting down the menu, but frowned upon seeing Mark sitting there instead of her friend. "What are you doing here? Are you following me?" "Now why would I be following you? I just happened to see you come in and thought I'll join you." Mark casually said as he picked up the menu and browsed its contents. "What are you getting?" He asked.
"Stop this, Mark. We're over. Now please leave." Chaewon told him while putting her menu down and whispered so that others wouldn't overhear. "So that you can have lunch with that friend of yours? What was his name again? Shin-something." Mark said while putting the menu down as well to glare at her. "Is he the reason why you broke up with me?" "No. You're the reason why I broke up with you." "Me? What did I do to make you break up with me?" "Are you really asking me that question, Mark? It's pretty obvious of what you did when I walked in on you and what's her face."
"We really didn't do anything wrong, Won. Besides we were on a break." Mark stated in a nonchalant manner causing Chaewon to scoff at his behavior. "Seriously? We weren't on a break, Mark. You know me already. It's either a break-up or we work it out, but clearly to you it's whatever you think goes for you." She then eyed him warily. "Also you were possessive and highly jealous, but that didn't stop you from being flirty and friendly. I just thought it was because it was something typical in every relationship, but with you it's a whole other level, Mark."
"It's because you kept hanging out with guys, Chaewon. I told you that you couldn't hang out with them unless I was around with you and them." "And I told you that they were just friends. I made it clear to you that I only liked you. I never said anything about you hanging out with your female friends or being super friendly with them." "Because they were just friends, Won." "Exactly, Mark." "So?" Chaewon wanted to wring his neck for not comprehending what she was trying to point out. "Never mind. It doesn't matter." She dismissed as she picked up the menu again. "We're not together so I don't have to tell you anything about my life."
Mark snatched the menu from out of her hand as he leaned over the table. "Yeah you do because I'm still not over you." "Well you better learn, Mark, because I'm not going back to you. Besides, you were fine without me before you and I got together." She shot him a mocked smile. "Now leave, Mark." "Seriously, Won, just give me another chance." Mark pleaded as Chaewon rolled her eyes. "Another chance? No way. I forgave you once when you broke my phone when you thought I was cheating on you because all my guy friends kept messaging me. I'm not giving you another one when you were thee one that cheated."
Before Mark could countered he was interrupted by the waitress placing Chaewon's drink on the table. "Here you go, sweetie." The waitress said before looking over at Mark. "What could I get for you, hon?" "Nothing. He was just leaving." Chaewon answered instead. "Could you give me some more time, please?" "Sure thing, hon." The waitress smiled before leaving again and not noticing the tension between the two. "I was about to order me a mango sweet tea, Won." Mark said with a dejected look as Chaewon let out a sigh before looking at him again. "Leave, Mark." "I don't want to." He smiled leaning back into his seat now.
They were interrupted again, but not by any of the staff causing Mark to glare at the younger male. "Sorry, Chaewon. Class got out late. I'm sorry for making you wait." The guy said as Chaewon looked up to see who it was as she didn't recognized the voice until she saw his face. "Oh, hi, Yuto." Her face brightened upon seeing the male and Mark didn't like it. "It's all good. Not worries. The wait was worth it." Chaewon said although she wasn't sure why he was here and not Shinwon while she was about to stand up and hug the male, but Mark leaned over to push her back down. "I don't think so."
"I asked that you don't touch her, please." Yuto told Mark with a kind smile, but it disappeared when Mark stood up to square him up. "Who do you think you are to tell me what I can and cannot do?" Mark said in a dark tone while glaring. "Her boyfriend." Yuto answered without hesitation although Chaewon glanced at Yuto questioningly, but quickly hid that so that Mark didn't catch it. "Excuse me? Her boyfriend?" Mark scoffed as he cast a look in Chaewon's direction before looking at Yuto again. "She doesn't have a boyfriend. Her and I were about to get back together before you interrupted us. So you can step off."
Chaewon rolled her eyes while standing up and separating the two males from one another. "No, we're not, Yuto." She said as she glared at Mark. "Stop lying, Mark. Don't cause a scene, please. We're done and over for months already. I seriously don't understand why you can't understand that. I've told you so many times already. Now let me enjoy my lunch date with Yuto." "You're not going to enjoy anything with another male if it isn't me." Mark said before throwing a punch at Yuto who stumbled backwards into another table and grabbing a hold of Chaewon's wrist and dragging her out of the cafe.
"Let go, Mark." Chaewon told him as she tried to free her wrist. "You're hurting me." Mark continued to hold onto her wrist and disregarded everything that she was saying. "Seriously let go." Chaewon ripped her arm from his grasped and pushed him away from her once he turned to face the female. "You're not my boyfriend, Mark. I'm not your property. I am a human being with a mind of her own so leave me the fuck alone, Mark. Seriously." She told the male with a firm tone, but she really wanted to raise her voice as she felt that Mark was still not getting it despite her calm and firm tone.
Mark tried to reach out for her again, but she moved out of his way. Before he could do it again, Yuto finally caught up to them and intervened by standing in-between the two. "I don't know what your deal is, but this is between me and her." Mark told Yuto with clenched fists. "I'm not sure what your deal is either, but this actually does concern me because I already told you that I was her boyfriend." Yuto stated while making sure that Chaewon was behind him and out of Mark's reach. "And it's my job to protect her, especially from crazy and jealous ex-boyfriends who keeps on bothering her for no real reason."
Chaewon was confused on Yuto's words although she appreciated his help, but went along with him because she wanted Mark out of her life for good. "Can't you understand that, Mark? We're no longer an item. I've moved on with Yuto." Mark narrowed his eyes at the female once he noticed her step from behind Yuto. "No, Chaewon. You can't have moved on that fast. You're lying. If you give me another chance, then I'll promise that I'll be good and do you good. Just don't leave me." He begged as his expression became one of regret, but Chaewon knew that he was only faking it to get her back and wouldn't really change.
"I'm sorry, Mark, but no. I'm done with you and everything that concerns you. No more." Chaewon told him with a shake of her head. "I'm tired of telling you that we're done and over with over and over again. I'm tired of repeating myself and saying the same shit when I know that you already know that we're no more. So please understand that and just leave me the fuck alone from now on." Mark was about to countered, but Yuto interrupted him with a firm tone. "Just listen to her, please. She's done with you and has no reason to take you back again. So get the fuck away from her or I'll take care of you myself once and for all."
"Fine." Mark relented backing off, but his eyes never left Chaewon. "I could've been the best you ever had, Won, but you had to go and settled for whatever he is." He lingered for a moment longer, but saw that Chaewon made no move to come after him. "You're loss, Chaewon." Mark said with a shake of his head before turning around and finally leaving Chaewon and Yuto alone. Once Mark's figure disappeared Chaewon let out a relieved breath and jumped a bit when she felt Yuto's hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay, Chaewon?" He asked once she looked at him.
"Yeah. I'm totally fine. Thanks a lot, Yuto." She smiled at the male before frowning a bit after realizing that Shinwon never showed up. "Um, how come you're here? Where's Shinwon?" "Ah, about that." He let out with a sheepish laugh as he stood up right again. "Well," He rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "He sent me." "Why? What happened?" "Um, he had a modeling auditioned to attend to and told me to come meet with you." "That brat. Did he tell you to pretend to be my boyfriend, too?" "Uh, no. That was all me." Chaewon looked at him in confusion. "Why would you do that? Did Shinwon mentioned anything to you about Mark?"
"Not really, but I remembered the thing that had happened from a week ago." He admitted as she nodded knowing what he was talking about. "Oh, right. That thing." She brushed it off. "It's all good and thanks. I really appreciated the help. He finally backed off." "You're welcome, Chaewon. I'm glad to have helped you." The two were silent for a bit until Chaewon smiled at him. "Y'know, Yuto," She began although she was starting to become shy as the thought lingered in her head while Yuto waited for her to say whatever she wanted to say, "We still haven't had our lunch date, yet."
His face instantly lit up at the mentioned of it as Yuto tried to hide it. "Oh yeah?" He avoided eye contact with her. "I thought it was supposed to be you and Shinwon?" "Well, I mean you said you were my boyfriend and that you were running late, but I guess I can eat by myself." Chaewon said with a soft tone and shrugged. "I'll see you around then, Yuto. Thanks for helping me out." She flashed him a small smile and before she could turn away Yuto gently reached out and grabbed her hand. "Chaewon, wait a minute." He said as he used his free hand to rub his neck again. "This wasn't how I wanted to ask you out."
Chaewon cast him a puzzled look. "You wanted to ask me out?" "Yeah, I've been wanting to ask you out for a long while now, but I always assumed you were with Kino." "Kino? Really?" She started laughing as Yuto became embarrassed about it. "I didn't know at the time that you guys were just close because of your parents and were going to be step-siblings." "I'm sorry, Yuto, but even if our parents weren't dating, I would have never gone out with Hyunggu. He's not my type." Yuto let out a relieved breath, but then eyed her. "What is your style? Because you dated that guy, so I'm kind of worried."
She rolled her eyes at the mentioned of Mark, but cast Yuto a shy smile as she finally confessed her feelings. "Well, I like you, Yuto, and you don't seem like him, but I wouldn't know since we've never hung out." "Believe me, I'm not like that guy, but I wouldn't mind getting to know you better, Chaewon, for you to find out if I'm nothing like that guy." Yuto grinned as Chaewon nodded. "That's a start." "Good, because I'm starving. Now how about that lunch date being for real then and no Shinwon?" "Yeah, I would like that." Yuto grinned happily. "Great. Let's go somewhere else since that guy ruined the place for me."
The duo were walking now in a different direction from the cafe they were at from earlier. "True, but I still owe the cafe for the Dr. Pepper drink I ordered even though I didn't drink any of it." Chaewon told him with a slight chuckle. "Oh, don't worry about that. I took care of that already." "Oh, but why?" "I felt bad because of the whole situation, but it's okay. You can pay me back later." "How about I pay you back now?" Chaewon reached into her pocket, but Yuto interrupted her. "I wasn't talking about money." Chaewon smirked at him. "Oh, did you want a kiss or something?"
Yuto chuckled as he side-glanced her. "That would be nice, but I was simply thinking of a hug or another date." Chaewon side-glanced him with a playful smile upon her face. "If our lunch date goes well, Yuto, then maybe you'll get all three." His expression turned into one of surprise. "Are you serious?" "I mean, we shall see how this thing between us go since I just finally got my crazy and jealous ex-boyfriend off my back." Chaewon reminded him as Yuto smiled. "True, but I did say I would protect you from your jealous ex-boyfriend." "Yeah, as my boyfriend, but you're not." "I could be." "You could." "Let's work on it then." "Alright, then."

Treat Me
Pairing: PTG’s Yuto x OC [Melanie] || PTG’s Yeo One x OC [Serena] Genre: college!au, slice of life, slight fluff Word Count: 8,461 Summary: Scavenger Hunt for a Trick or Treat event must be totally fun especially when you're dressed as a SWAT member and a Pikachu and the theme is sexy. part two {Really Hoping You Would}
Warning: college life, young adult theme... nothing too big i think.
i honestly have no idea where this story came from or how it happened, but it did and i actually was impress with myself in writing something like this because i never get around to writing a lot of stuff in a short period of time. anyways, now that i think about it, it was around Halloween when the story came up and i did watch Mean Girls and had friends that wanted to dress... a little more freely with the excuse of Halloween being that day that allows for it or something like that. but yeah, happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
"Hey, PTG's having another Trick Or Treat event again this year." Jasmine announced to her other three roommates as the pair of sisters were lounging in their living room while she continued reading from her phone. "They're having a scavenger hunt that leads to some grand prize later today." "Ooh, that sounds fun. Let's go." Melanie grinned as she looked up from her iPad that she was currently watching a drama on. "I really love these events of theirs. What time does it actually start?" "It's at five." "That's like in six hours." Jennie said looking up from her laptop. "Are they doing the costume contest again this year?"
"Yeah." Jasmine confirmed with a smirk. "It's sexy theme for the ladies and whatever for the males." Serena scoffed while reading a book. "Any excuse to see females in skimpy outfits. Cliche." "Although true, but it's not that bad, Rina." Melanie informed her sister. "Last year the tricks were playing games with the PTG members while the treats were store bought chocolate and candies after completing a mission of sort or whatever." Jasmine laughed remembering last Halloween's event. "Ah, right. I remember that one time I had to bob for apples with Jinho to win this huge ass unicorn plush. That was so much fun."
"Of course your boyfriend got super jealous since you went to PTG's Halloween event first instead of NCT's." Jennie reminded her twin as Jasmine dismissed it. "Johnny got over it when I finally showed up." "Does he know you're going to PTG's tonight?" Serena asked shooting her friend a knowing look while Jasmine grinned. "No." Serena then looked over at Jennie. "So what about you, Jen? Does Namjoon know you're also interested in PTG's besides BTS'?" "He'll get over it. He hardly gets mad, anyways. Unlike, Mel and her boo." "Mark and I broke up a few months ago." Melanie confirmed. "I don't have to worry about him or GOT now."
"No wonder I haven't seen him around then. Mark was a bit possessive." Serena said as Melanie rolled her eyes. "Dn't say 'I told you so'." "I won't. Boys are such a hassle." "Wait a minute, Rina." Jasmine interjected." What about you and that MX member. Uh, what's his name? Wonho, right?" "Nothing happened with him, Jas. He has too much girls and even guys lining up for his attention. I'm not spending my time with that shit." "Dude, Serena, then tonight should be perfect for you to scope the male population at PTG's event." Jennie grinned as Jasmine added. "Or with SVT since they're having a talent showcase for their Halloween event."
Serena shook her head. "No thanks." "Just because of Wonho?" Melanie shot her sister a narrowed look while Serena rolled her eyes. "I didn't know he was a frat boy until last week or so." "Either you're dumb or don't get out much." Melanie deadpanned before grinning. "I say you're both, but more dumb though." "Shut up, Mel." The other three laugh as Serena rolled her eyes while standing up and stretched her limbs. "Whatever. I'm gonna go to class as you talk about your plans for tonight." "You're coming along, too, Rina!" Jasmine called after Serena' retreating back with the other two joining in causing Serena to shake her head.
"I can't believed I let you guys drag me to this PTG event shit." Serena muttered as she looked down at her Pikachu costume. "And I can't believe I let you guys convinced me to wear this costume, too." "Oh, hush, you look good." Jasmine told her while wearing the Baby Doll outfit from Sucker Punch. "You've had that costume stuffed in your closet since last year, Serena, so don't act like you weren't going to wear it at all." Jennie grinned as she was dressed as a witch. "I know right." Melanie agreed with a laughed as she was dressed as a SWAT agent. "Might as well use it for tonight given the opportunity."
"Whatever." Serena grumbled as Jennie hooked arms with her so that she wouldn't escape while the quartet lined up outside PTG's fraternity house. "I'm surprised there's a lot of people despite the other frat houses doing an event on the same night" Serena said while looking around. "Yeah, you really need to get out more." Melanie stated as Serena frowned "No thanks." "Ha, then we can got to NCT house next." Jasmine grinned. "The boys are doing a haunted house." "Oh and after we can head over to BTS because they're having a costume dance off." Jennie added next while nudging Serena. "You'll have totes fun." "No."
As the line moved along the girls were each given a piece of small white paper and were told about what to do with it. They had to go around the house and collect stamps from five pairs of PTG members in a red with gold accents military jackets while doing certain activities to earn the five stamps. If they earned all five stamps they would receive a grand prize and would have to wait until the even was over before further details were revealed. The quartet decided to split into pairs to navigate better and faster with each pair of sisters teaming up and would meet up once they completed everything on the stamp card.
"This is so dumb." Serena complained as Melanie rolled her eyes while the two began to explore the frat house. "It's okay. You'll be fine." Melanie then glanced at the paper. "Which one do you wanna do first?" "Neither." "C'mon, Rina just pick one." "No, Mel." "Dude, seriously. Rina just choose between performance, dance, teamwork, talent, or mind." "Ugh, fine. Performance." "Okay. We need to find the two members and we're good." "This doesn't feel like Halloween at all." "You'll never know. We just have to wait and see." "Why do I have a feeling you're enjoying this more than I think you should?" "Because you don't go out." "True."
"Hey, hey, hey, everyone! Welcome to HuiDawn's Karaoke Time!" Hwitaek, the president of PTG, announced excitedly alongside his vice-president, Hyojung, who was banging a tambourine against his palm with a smile when the sisters arrived on the first floor of the house. "Who's ready to sing-a-long with us to get their stamp?!" The crowd cheer as it began. Some time lter it was Melanie and Serena's turn with the duo as Hwitaek greeted Melanie warmly. "Melanie, hey! Thanks for coming by tonight." "I wouldn't miss it even though you're hella annoying, Hui." "Rude." Hyojung looked over at Serena with a curious face. "Do I know you?"
"No. I don't attend these events." Serena answered as Hyojung peered closer and then it clicked as he gave her costume a once over. "Serena!" Hyojung exclaimed as he laughed while Serena eyed him weirdly. "I knew you like Pikachu a lot, but I never thought you would actually dress up as one. That's so funny." He turned towards Hwitaek and softly smacked him on the shoulder to get his attention. "Dude, Hui, it's Serena." Hwitaek looked over at Serena, broke into a huge grin, and started laughing upon recognizing her. "OMG, you're right E'Dawn. Serena, hey. Pikachu suits you." "I know right?" Melanie grinned. "She's forever a kid."
"Rina has always been a kid." Hyojung chuckled as Serena still eyed him suspiciously. "Don't act like you know me." The trio looked at her funny. "You don't remember us?" Hwitaek asked with a puzzled look as Serena shook her head. "Should I?" "Oh, it must be because of our nicknames and it's been awhile." Hyojung reasoned as he elbowed his friend. "She doesn't know us by our new names now since we don't interact much." "It's Hwitaek." "And Hyojung." The males pointed at themselves as Serena's face went from confusion to recognition and then to a neutral one. "I can't believe you guys joined a fraternity."
"Not just joined. I'm the president of Phi Tau Gamma." Hwitaek explained as Hyojung grinned. "And I'm the vice-president." "OMG, that's even worst." "That's mean." "Anyways, you three can catch up later." Melanie interjected as she presented her card. "Rina and I are here for the Trick Or Treat event." "Oh, right." The duo got back on track and explained how their segment worked. "Both of you have to sing a duet with us and after that we'll stamp your card." "Easy." "You have to score seventy points or higher." "Boo." "Okay, let's skip and leave already." Serena said as Hwitaek took a hold of her arm. "Not so fast, girl."
"Ugh, what?" "You guys just started. We're the easy stage." "I don't doubt it." Hwitaek rolled his eyes, but continued speaking with a cheerful face. "After us you move on to the Dance stage." "Oh joy." Serena showed her enthusiasm with a flat tone. "Whatever, Rina. Let's play." Melanie dismissed as Hyojung smiled while showing her a number pad from one to nine. "Choose one." "Um, six." Melanie pointed at the even number as Hwitaek held up another pad. "Now choose a color." "Obviously it's blue." "Your love for blue I swear." "Of course." "So blue and six. Now which one is that and oh! It's Wiz Kalifa's See You Again." "I love that song!"
"I hate that song." Serena mumbled only because her sister has been playing it on repeat since it came out. "Nine. Black." Serena answered a second later with Hyojung chuckling. "Like your heart. Still the same as ever." "Mmhmm." "Yes. Jason Derulo's Want to Want Me." Hwitaek cheered as Serena groaned. "Ugh, this song's overplayed, too." "Well, let's start!" Hyojung handed Melanie a microphone as he held one in his hand with a grin. "You're my partner." "Sweet." Melanie grinned as Hwitaek then handed Serena a microphone. "And you're mine." "You wish." Serena scoffed while taking the microphone as Hwitaek smiled sly at her.
"Not when you're Yeo One's girl." "I'm who's girl?" "No one." He coughed with a smile still on his lips. "Let's began." He pointed at Melanie and Hyojung. "E'Dawn and Mel go first and then it's me and Rina." "Cool." Both pairs sang their song with cheers from the onlookers and Melanie and Hyojung were the winners because Serena wasn't in the mood to sing nor did she really know the lyrics, but luckily Hwitaek saved them as he was able to score high enough for her to get a stamp. "And congratulations on earning your first pentagon stamp." Hwitaek exclaimed as he stamped both of their papers. "The Dance team's in the bigger living room."
"Everyone, welcome to Phi Tau Gamma's Dance Dance Time!" Shinwon announced with a grin while doing some cute dance moves. "Now who wants to dance with us?!" Hyunggu yelled with an excited expression as the onlookers cheer while he did a short spin with a suave pose. Serena recognized one of the duo and let out a groan. "Ugh, I know that kid. I didn't know he was a frat boy. Och, he's so annoying." "Which one?" Melanie asked as the two drew nearer before it was their turn to play games with the PTG members. "Because I know the both of them." "Of course you would." "No, duh. Unlike you, you loner." "Whatever."
When it was finally the pair's turn Hyunggu noticed Melanie first and checked her out while lifting his hands up in a playful manner. "Whoa, Melanie. I ain't done nothing wrong, yet, but I'll still let you frisk me only for tonight because it's a given and I wouldn't get in trouble." Melanie rolled her eyes at the male as she lightly smacked him. "Don't be such a brat." Hyunggu chuckled before moving his eyes to Serena with a sly look. "Damn, Serena. Is that you?" He gave her a once over. "I didn't know you got some legs on ya." "Shut up, Hyunggu." Serena glared at him as Hyunggu rolled his eyes. "Girl, I told you it was Kino." "Whatever, Hyunggu."
"Oh, Rina, you meant Kino. Yeah, he's definitely a brat." Melanie laughed as Hyunggu pouted at her playfully. "Aww, don't be that way, Melanie. I thought I was your favorite one." "No, I'm her favorite." Shinwon stated as he wrapped an arm around Melanie's shoulder. "Isn't that right?" "No." Hyunggu laughed as Shinwon just elbowed him away while shooting Melanie a smile. "You better be nice to me or I'll do something." "Do it then." Melanie replied nonchalantly as Shinwon frowned and removed his arm. "You're no fun." "Exactly. Now, how does this stage work?" She asked while holding up her card and nudged her sister to show hers.
"Oh right, right." Shinwon chuckled as he pointed behind him. "You guys will compete with us on the Pump-It-Up dance machine." Hyunggu held up a jar with ten spoons inside. "Just choose one and it'll determine your level." "Seriously?" Serena eyed him and the jar as Hyunggu smile. "Yes, Serena, seriously. Now please choose one." "Whatever." Serena pulled out a spoon with her sister following and then the two PTG members. Both Shinwon and Melanie pulled a normal while Serena had crazy and Hyunggu had freestyle. "Yay, we're competing against each other." Shinwon grinned as he and Melanie high-five one another.
Hyunggu cheekily cast Serena a smile. "It's me and you, but would you prefer we both do freestyle instead?" "Nah, it's fine. You do you and I'll do me." "Don't say I didn't let you off easy if you lose." "Mmhmm." Anyways, the first pair was Melanie and Shinwon as they had chosen GFriend's Me Gustas Tu while Serena and Hyuggu had chosen Big Bang's BANG BANG BANG. Both sisters lost to the frat boys and Melanie slightly frowned. "So I'm guessing we won't get our card stamp?" "We'll let you guys have the stamp only if Serena calls me by Kino and tells me I'm a super cool guy." Hyunggu grinned as Serena stared at him. "No."
"If I was Yeo One you would." Shinwon slightly elbowed Hyunggu as Serena tilted her head in confusion. "If you were who?" "No one." Hyunggu said instead with a sweet smile while Melanie nudged her sister. "Just do it. I want that grand prize." "Seriously?" "Yeah." Serena gave in with a small groan. "Kino you're a super cool guy." "Could you say that with actual feelings. You sound like you don't mean it." "I don't." Melanie nudged Serena again while Serena let out a defeated sigh and faked her tone. "Kino! You're such a super cool guy! I wish I could be as cool as you!" "Now that's more like it!" "Jerk." "You know you love me." "Get real."
Hyunggu stamped a pentagon shape onto each of their cards. "Have fun with the rest of the scavenger hunt you two." "Yeah, you'll be heading over to the Teamwork stage that's out back." Shinwon grinned as he held up several folded piece of papers. "This is for the next challenge, but you can't open it until you reach the Teamwork stage. Don't open them yet. It'll ruined the surprise." He explained. "Well, y'all know what I'll choose." Melanie grinned as she plucked the blue folded paper as Serena grabbed the red that was closes to her. "Awesome. It's out back. You can't miss it!" Hyunggu grinned as he waved them off.
The duo arrived to a larger crowd for the Teamwork stage. "Is everyone ready to see our awesome Phi Tau Gamma teamwork with you tonight?" Jinho asked the crowd with Hongseok popping poppers which scared Jinho a bit. "Next time warn me." Hongseok laughed as he nodded his head. "Sure thing. Gonna do another one soon." Hongseok popped another just as Jinho barely covered his ears. "Aww Jinho looks so cute in his outfit while Hongseok looks damn good." Melanie commented as Serena rolled her eyes with a laugh. "Only you would say something like that that separates the two despite wearing the same thing." "Duh."
"Anyways, how are the twins doing?" Serena asked a second later as they waited for their turn because she forgot her phone back at the dorm. "They left. They barely completed the Mind stage when their boyfriends wanted them." Melanie explained as she typed back in their group chat. "That's dumb. Doesn't NCT start at nine and BTS at seven or something like that?" "Yeah, but I dunno. The twins want us to let them know how far we've gone and to tell them what the grand prize is if we get that far." "Yeah, of course, because of you." "That's right." Melanie grinned as she finished replying back. "Just admit you're having fun." "Sure."
The female duo finally reached their turn with the two PTG members who greeted them happily. "Ohh, hello ladies, welcome." Jinho cast Melanie a cute look. "It's good seeing you again for another of our Trick Or Treat event, Melanie." "Of course, Jinho. I even dragged this loner to come along with the help of the twins." Melanie pointed at Serena who was already trying to free herself out of Hongseok's hold on her. "Gah, you're annoying. Let me go, Seok." Serena said as she tried to get out of the headlock he put her in. "Let me have my moment, Rina." "You're so lucky I'm not an actual Pikachu, Hongseok."
"You'll be too cute even if you were an actual Pikachu, Serena." Hongseok chuckled as he finally let her go and she punched him in the chest causing some of the onlookers to look on with envious. "I'm not cute." "Yeah, right, just like Jinho." Melanie countered as Jinho became flustered. "I'm not cute." "Sure you aren't." Melanie chuckled as she held up her stamp card. "But let's get back to this. We're always getting distracted for some reason." "That's just you, Melanie. I didn't even want to come." Serena explained as Hongseok poked her cheek. "Oh c'mon. There must be somebody you wanted to see. Me or Yeo One?"
He grinned at her cheekily as Serena tilted her head with a weird look directed at the male. "Why do you guys keep saying that. Yeo? Yo? Whatever. Hwitaek and Hyunggu mentioned it, too. Should I know about it?" "Well-" Melanie began, but she got cut off by both Hongseok and Jinho. "It's no one. That's what we meant." Hongseok smiled a bit awkwardly at her. "Yeah, let's start on the teamwork, Serena." Jinho grinned at her while holding a very large and long white board that had the ladder game on it. "You go first, Rina. Choose a start point and we'll find out what games we'll play to showcase our excellent teamwork."
"Yeah, sure whatever." Serena chose the third line while Melanie chose the sixteenth line. "Oh, yeah by the way," Melanie began as she showed them her blue paper, "Shinwon and Hyunggu mentioned something about showing you guys this." "Oh, right." Jinho plucked the paper out of Melanie's hand to reveal what it had on. "Melanie, your mission is that you need to do thirty high-fives." Hongseok took Serena's and read it with laughter. "Serena, yours is to do ten fly kisses." "Ugh, you're kidding me, right?" "No." He held up the red paper for her to read. "And you and I have to pop balloons between our chests." "Seriously?" "Yeah." He laughed.
"Better than Jinho and I doing the mouth tissue game." Melanie countered as Jinho laughed nervously while nudging her playfully. "Hey, you're the one that chose an even number that led to that game." He mumbled the last part. "I hope he won't get jealous." "What did you say?" Melanie asked him as Jinho flashed her a bright smile. "Nothing. I didn't say anything. Let's begin!" Both pairs were each timed for one minute to do their mission and showcase how well their teamwork was with one another. Melanie and Jinho were having difficulties due to the type of tissues they were using as it was more plastic than paper.
While Serena groaned and grew annoyed every time Hongseok placed a balloon between them and would squeeze her with such force to pop the item before she herself could even assist him with it. Unfortunately for her, the fly kisses were hard to do while popping the balloons unlike the other pair as Serena would try to blow kisses at Hongseok, but it was interrupted by the popping of balloons. Melanie was able to do thirty high-fives with Jinho as she used both of her hands to cut down the time in doing them. Of course, only three paper tissues were passed and completed since they were laughing in the process of doing it as well.
Still though the PTG members gave the sisters each their pentagon stamp for their efforts with completing at least one of the two missions and because the boys knew who they were as they were good friends. "If they're bruises tomorrow, Seok, I'ma drop kick you." Serena warned him as Hongseok laughed. "You'll be fine. You're a strong Pokemon." "You're hilarious." "I know." "Shut up." "Anyways, the next stage is Talent. That should be on the side of the house on the right hand side." Jinho informed them while motioning where they should head on next. "Good luck, ladies." Both males wished the females as the quartet bid their farewells.
"So how was it being so close and holding Hongseok's body?" Melanie teased Serena who shot her sister a look. "Nothing special." She answered before continuing. "Hongseok's more than just his body, y'know." "Yeah, Serena, I know. I'm not friends with him just for his looks." "I know, but it's annoying when other girls gush about his body this and that. Ugh, he's more than that." "Do you have a crush on him?" "No. We're just friends and don't you remember when we did try the whole dating thing, but it was more awkward. Friends we forever will be." "Okay, good, because I thought you didn't like that one guy." "What guy?"
"Oh, look. We've reached the Talent stage." Melanie announced with a smile as she dodged the question and Serena just let it go. "Hello everyone!" Wooseok greeted the crowd with oomph. "We're showing off our amazing skills with this talent event. It's a little more physical than it sounds, but that's the fun of it isn't it?" Yuto juggled a few different types of balls within his grasp. "Yeah, we got baseball, basketball, soccer, and football to name a few." "Oh, it's sports related, Melanie. Can you do it?" Serena mused as Melanie shrugged indifferently. "I guess I can try." "You can barely throw straight." "Shut up."
The pair waited for several minutes until it was their turn before being greeted by the two PTG members. "Hey, Melanie! Nice costume." Wooseok greeted, but he was looking at Serena. "I thought you would be hanging out at GOT's event because of Mark." Yuto was the one that correct his fellow member. "That's not Melanie, Wooseok. That's her sister, Serena." He then pointed at Melanie. "That's Melanie." "Oh my bad, ladies." Wooseok apologized with a cute smile. "No worries." "It's all good." The sisters dismissed. Melanie ignored the GOT question and shot Yuto a smile. "I'm surprised you remember, especially my sister's name."
"Of course, Melanie, since it has to deal with Yeo One about your sister." Yuto answered with a laugh, but Serena wasn't paying attention to the conversation. "I also have a good memory." Yuto shot Melanie a knowing smile as the female smile, but cast her eyes away. "Ah, true, but yeah here you go." Melanie held up her card as the male duo let out low whistles. "You have one more stage with the last PTG members after us. Nice." Wooseok nodded his head in approval. "Are you guys ready to play?" "Is it for several of the ball games or just one?" Serena asked after she had scanned the set-up for each ball sport behind the duo.
"It's for two of the sports of your choice." Yuto explained as he set the rest of the balls in his hands onto the table with the rest of them. "Which two would you like to compete in?" "Oh, I'm fine with either sport. I'll let Mel choose instead." Serena said as she motioned at the other female. "Choose, Mel." "Oh, um," Melanie scanned the balls and chose two she was more familiar with, "How about the baseball and football challenges?" "Good choices." Yuto smiled as he picked up both balls that were mentioned. "You know that baseball was my thing?" "No. I didn't. It isn't now?" "I just don't play it often." "Oh, okay."
"It's because he's too busy with another type of sport." Wooseok mused as Yuto cast him a slight glare. "Uh, please disregard what he meant by that." Melanie chuckled as she nodded her head. "Sure thing, Yuto." "Okay. This is how we play." Wooseok began as he held up the football. "We each have three turns per sport. Y'all just have to throw the ball into one of those three holes in that cut-out over there." Wooseok explained as he pointed at a stand out that had three holes in it, but of different sizes with the smallest at the top and the biggest at the bottom.
"The biggest one gets you five points. The middle one gets you twenty points. The smallest one gets you fifty points because it's harder to actually achieve." Yuto finished with a smile while tossing the baseball in the air. "So are you ready?" "Yeah." The sisters nodded their heads with the two PTG members going first and scoring a total of one hundred and eighty points. "YUTODA!" Yuto exclaimed as he scored the fifty points after throwing the baseball through the smallest hole while he and Wooseok high-five one another and pumping their fists into the air. "We can give you ladies a handicap." Wooseok told them as Serena shook her head.
"Nah, we're fine. We'll play fairly." "I think you should take the handicap." Yuto advised with a puzzled look. "It automatically gives your team fifty points from the get-go and because you're girls." "It's all good, Yuto." Melanie declined with a smile as she held the football. "Let's do this." The sisters ended up scoring two hundred and ten points with Serena scoring ninety points in each sport and Melanie scoring enough to help the duo be in the lead. "MELONDA!" Melanie exclaimed in mocked excitement of what Yuto had done earlier while two sisters high-five and laughed at it upon seeing the males' surprised faces.
"You're actually the first female pair that beat us without using the handicap or well pair for tonight." Wooseok chuckled as he stamped their cards. "It's because we would rather play fairly." Serena reasoned before her lips curved upwards a bit smug. "Also I played a lot of sports back in grade school throughout high school with the boys as they were better players than girls." "Ah, that makes sense." "Yeah, she even thrashed the boys and would always shout 'RINI RULES'. It was kind of annoying actually." "Shut up." "Oh yeah, that reminds me." Yuto interjected. "What was up with the MELONDA, Melanie?"
He cast Melanie a weird look while Melanie laughed. "Well, I was obviously copying you." "But that's my signature line." "Whatever, Yuto. Don't be such a baby." "I'm not a baby." "But he wants to be your baby, Melanie." Wooseok muttered as Yuto elbowed him. "Shut up." "What?" Melanie asked as she didn't hear what Wooseok had said. "It's nothing." Yuto smiled sweetly at her. "Anyways, the last stage is Mind and you'll find that back inside the house in our conference room." "Seriously?" Melanie deadpanned. "Yeah. It is a scavenger hunt." Wooseok chuckled as he and Yuto bid the sisters goodbye while the females headed back inside.
"You have a thing for Yuto, don't you? I saw your eyes sparkled when you talked to him." Serena teased as Melanie rolled her eyes. "My eyes did not sparkle." "If you were an emoji you would have the shining heart eyes." "Shut up. We just have a lot classes this semester." "Uh huh. Maybe another reason on why you broke up with Mark." "Yeah, that's a high possibility." Melanie chuckled as the duo arrived and entered the conference room. "I wonder what kind of games we'll play here." Melanie wondered out loud as Serena laughed. "Probably some problem or puzzle or thinking games." "True. It is the Mind stage."
"Hi everyone!" Changgu greeted the onlookers with a loud voice. "How is everyone enjoying the games and scavenger hunt so far?" A few people yelled out their answers as Yanan talked next with an excited tone. "We still have plenty mind games here and are waiting for those to complete the five stages!" More people cheered loudly as Changgu spoke next. "I know the event started at five, but it's about to be over in half an hour." Everyone let out boos after hearing the news. "But don't worry. We'll have the costume contest which someone or some people will win some money and a pass to PTG's Christmas after party bash!"
Once again people were thrilled at the news. "Anyways, let's get the line moving so we can discover who will get the grand prize for completing the scavenger hunt!" Yanan finished as they resumed the games again. "Oh, we totally have to participate in the costume contest, Rina." Melanie grinned as she cheekily looked at her sister. "I'm sure you'll get plenty of votes." "Och, stop. I was already getting weird looks walking around in this." Serena rolled her eyes while she pulled the bottom part of the yellow fabric down as it kept riding up her thighs. "I don't need to be oogled at more while in front of everyone else." "Mmhmm. Sure."
It was finally the sisters' turn with Changgu grinning at Serena cutely while giving her a once over. "Oh hello there Miss Pikachu." "Uh, hi." Serena awkwardly smiled back at him. "You're pretty friendly." "I try." Melanie rolled her eyes playfully as she leaned closer to Yanan to whisper for only him to hear. "I wonder why." Yanan chuckled with a nod. "I know, right?" "Mmhmm." "So Mel, are you having fun so far? Too bad the twins couldn't finished the scavenger hunt." "That's right, They were here before their boyfriends wanted them." "Yeah. Jennie was about to beat Yeo One, but her phone interrupted her." "Ah, that sucks." "Yeah."
"So, are you two ready to play the telepathy game?" Changgu asked once everyone's focus was on the game. "No." Both Melanie and Serena replied causing the two PTG members to 'ooh'. "Wow, already on the same wave length." Changgu grinned as Yanan looked over at him. "I hope we are, too." "I hope so, too, because we've been off our game all night." Yanan laughed and looked at the sisters. "So we'll answer five action questions and you guys have to do the same poses to these words." He explained. "And that determines which team gets the most wins." "Easy, right?" Changgu grinned as the sisters nodded. "Yeah."
"Okay, we'll let you guys go first and then we'll go." Yanan said as he held up some folded papers for the pair to choose. "Pick one for us and we'll pick yours." Melanie picked once again picked the blue colored paper before handing it over to Serena as Changgu picked the green paper next and handed it to Yanan. "Alright, ladies, let us know when you're ready to go." Changgu smiled as the sisters looked over at one another and nodded to let each other know that they were ready. "Okay, we're ready." They said at the same time. "Alright then. We'll start in one, two, and three. Heart." Yanan said as he read off the first thing on the paper.
Serena and Melanie made a heart with their index finger and thumb. "Oh, one point for you guys." Changgu said as he made a tally mark on a white board that he pulled from somewhere while Yanan read the next thing. After all five were announced the sisters had gotten three correctly and failed on two of them. "We just need to get four to win." Yanan told Changgu who laughed. "Let's hope we just get passed two." Yanan laughed nodding his head. "And in one, two, and three." Melanie said excitedly as she read the first thing off of their list for the boys. "Pineapple!"
Changgu lifted up a few strands of his hair while Yanan did some sort of wiggle dance. "Ahh, what is that?" Changgu playfully hit his friend as Yanan laughed. "I dunno." "Okay, next one is Ironman." Serena read the next word and both males stuck out their right hands and a second later began cheering while holding each other and bouncing up and down upon finally getting one correct early on in the game since they began. "Yay!" "They're so weird." Serena commented with a laugh as Melanie nodded her head with a chuckle. "Yeah, well a lot better than most of the other fraternities I've interacted with." "I guess."
The two PTG members were able to beat the female duo by getting one more question right. "Oh yeah! We finally won!" The boys held onto one another and began jumping up and down at the fact that they had won their first mind game since starting. "So because we lost we don't get the final stamp, huh?" Serena asked breaking the two from their little moment with Changgu looking at her with a sweet smile. "Well, we're not supposed to, but for you I will if you imitate Pikachu in a very cute manner." "Ugh, you remind me of Hyunggu." Serena made a face as Changgu's eyebrows furrowed. "You call Kino by his real name?"
"Yeah." Serena let out slowly as Changgu nodded his head with a neutral look "I see." "Uh huh." "Just do the imitation, Rina, and we can get the grand prize." "Och, you said the same thing at the Dance stage, too." "Duh." Serena then cast the two males a judging look. "Why don't you guys ask my sister to do something instead?" "It's because everyone loves and knows Pikachu." Yanan reasoned with a small pleading look. "Yeah, Serena, just do it and we can be on our way with our fifth pentagon stamp." "I swear you always get me to do these things." Serena reluctantly gave in as she psyched herself up.
"Pika. Pikachu. Pika pika. Chu chu. Pikachu." She cooed in a cute voice with a hopefully equal and cute expression as she hid her face with her hands and squatted down in total embarrassment. "Ugh, fuck my life." "Congratulations, you get your fifth stamp!" The males exclaimed as Melanie clapped her hands happily. "Oh yeah! Thanks, Rina." "Whatever." Serena stood back up as she tried to remain cool and calm. "All for a grand prize we don't even know what it is." "Don't worry. You'll find out soon." Changgu chuckled as he stamped the fifth pentagon shape onto their cards as Yanan grinned while handing them two Halloween goodie bags.
"Thanks for participating in our scavenger hunt, ladies, and if you head back outside one of the lower PTG members in a wizard robe will informed you two about the grand prize." "Uh, we were just out there before coming here." Serena groaned as she took the goodie bag while Melanie did the same. "Yeah, but I'm sure you guys are gonna say something like 'there's a reason why it's a scavenger hunt'." "We were. How did you know?" Changgu asked with a smile. "Wooseok said the same thing." "Right. Anyways, the scavenger hunt will be ending soon so it's not that long of a wait. See ya soon." "Yeah, see ya."
"Dude, Yeo One was totally all over you, Rina." Melanie nudged her sister playfully as Serena looked at her weirdly. "Who?" "Oh, I mean Changgu. Yeah, Changgu. Him. He was totally flirting with you and casting you sparkling eyes." "Wait a minute. Melanie, what did you call him earlier? It sounded kinda familiar." "Uh, nothing. Nothing. Look, there's a kid in a wizard robe." Melanie changed the topic as she hurried away to talk with the lower PTG member as Serena narrowed her eyes at her sister's back, but continued to walk after her wondering why she had changed the subject so fast.
Anyways, the duo were informed to sign up for the costume contest since they've completed the scavenger hunt. Melanie thought it was a great idea to pass time, but Serena found it weird for them to also join when there were others that didn't do the games and were still competing. Her sister dragged her along once again as the duo went behind the makeshift stage to join the other contestants. "This is dumb." Serena commented as Melanie hushed her. "Just have fun. Don't be such a party-pooper." "I would have fun if you guys stopped dragging me to these things." "You need to socialize and books don't count." Ugh."
Several moments later the costume contest began with several contestants already have gone out upon being introduced to the audience by another lower member in a wizard robe. The main ten PTG members were judging the contest and gave scores during the whole ordeal. As the sisters watched from the sidelines Serena noticed her sister kept brushing up against her. "You okay?" She asked as Melanie nodded her head a bit. "Yeah." "You sure?" Melanie glanced to the side of her which alerted Serena to see where her eyes had darted to and noticed some guy dressed as Ryu from Street Fighter who was standing too close to Melanie.
Serena glanced down and noticed Melanie's hands were behind her and peered behind her sister to see that the guy was trying to cop a feel. Serena reached out and smacked his hands away from Melanie's butt. "I'm pretty sure you know how to keep your hands to yourself, yeah?" The guy acted like he didn't do anything while holding his hands up in the air for her to see. "What are you talking about? I wasn't touching her butt." Melanie moved to stand on the other side of Serena. "I didn't say anything about touching her butt." "Whatever. You know you girls like it since you're dressed the way you're dressed for Halloween."
"Say that again." Serena stepped up against him as Melanie tried to hold her back. "Don't, Serena." The guy smirked as he squared up against Serena. "Like I said. If you girls didn't want to be grabbed or want attention, then don't dress like sluts asking for it." By now the other contestants who haven't gone out yet were watching the scene. "Only dumb and weak-minded guys say shit like that because it gives them an excuse to be douches. Also it's because they can't score by actually talking and having a decent conversation without resorting to dumb shit." "Oh, yeah right. You're just jealous because I didn't grope your ass."
"I'm pretty sure no girl would want you to grope their ass even if they asked." The male fumed and puffed his chest out even more. "Do something then and see what happens." Serena told him as the guy just rolled his eyes and backed off. "You ain't worth my time." He dismissed Serena and walked passed her, but not before smacking Melanie on the ass with a loud laugh causing Melanie to yelp out at the sudden action. "Oh, hell no." Serena ran after the guy who noticed her advancement and started running away from her out of panic which ended up with Serena tackling him to the ground in front of everyone.
The female started punching his back. "I told you something would happen you jackass." She repeated it until several of the lower PTG members pulled her off of the guy and the others helped the guy up. "I've seen your face and if I see you around campus, I'll drop kick you." The ten higher status PTG members rushed on to the stage to settle it out with Hwitaek asking what was going on. "That motherfucker harassed Melanie twice, Hwitaek." Serena explained as the guy scoffed. "I did not. She was asking for it." "No girl asks for it by the way they're dress, asshole. If you can't keep your hands to yourself then don't fuckin' touch."
Hwitaek looked at the guy in a stern way. "Is it true that you touched Melanie inappropriately, Dale?" "C'mon, Hui. Look at her costume. She's bangin' as a hot SWAT member. The Pikachu chick is just jealous I didn't come onto her." Serena tried to lunge at the guy, but Hongseok prevented her from doing so although she still could speak. "Like I said, mofo, if I see you on campus I'ma drop kick you." She threatened him with a cold look. "Hell, if I see you around my sister again, I'll kick your ass to the moon and back and do it again." Hyojung looked at Hongseok. "Hey, Hongseok, take Serena away to let her cool down."
"Gotcha." Hongseok obliged as he basically carried Serena away who didn't want to leave with Melanie following after the both of them and Yuto accompanying as well a few seconds later. The rest tried to handled the situation after they had walked off as Hongseok eventually tossed his friend into the pool to literally cool her down when they near the pool area that was closed off for the event tonight. "The fuck, Seok? That was uncalled for." Serena said once she resurfaced, wiped the water away from her face, and made her way to the pool's edge. "You're lucky I didn't have my stuff on me because of this costume."
Hongseok chuckled as he squatted near the edge of the pool. "Better now?" Serena glared up at him before grabbing a hold of his costume and pulling him into the water with her. Hongseok resurfaced a second later and squirted water out of his mouth at her with an annoyed look as she held on her headband. "Now I am." Serena grinned as she lifted herself out of the pool with Hongseok following after her. "Um, how close are they?" Yuto asked Melanie as she chuckled. "Pretty close. They've known each other since their second year in high school." "Oh, okay." He looked over at her. "Are you okay?" "Yeah. That guy was a creep."
Melanie rubbed at her arms unconsciously because of what happened a while ago and Yuto noticed. He unbuttoned his jacket and draped it over Melanie and buttoned it back up. "Hope this makes you feel better." He smiled. "Thanks." She shyly thanked him with a small nod as a slight smile appeared on her face. "It does now." Hongseok did the same thing to Serena when he noticed her outfit sticking close to her body and outlining her body more. "Thanks for your wet jacket, Seok. I totally wanted to be sick the next day." Serena sarcastically thanked him as Hongseok rolled his eyes with a smile. "You're welcome. Just don't get me sick."
Serena shoved him back into the pool, but Hongseok had latched onto her wrist and brought her down with him. "If he was here I think he'll be jealous of their relationship with one another." Yuto said quietly as Melanie looked at him confused upon hearing it. "Why would he be jealous?" "Because Yeo One likes your sister." "Oh, that. Shinwon already told me." "Oh. Are you and Shinwon close, too?" "Yeah. We've been friends for a long while now." "I see." "Why are you jealous?" "No." "I'm pretty sure it's obvious who I like, Yuto." "Who?" "You." "Really?" "No." Yuto frowned as Melanie laughed while shouldering him playfully. "I'm kidding. It's you."
"Good. Anyways, I know you were looking forward to the grand prize for the scavenger hunt, Melanie, but it's really nothing." Yuto admitted as Melanie's jaw dropped. "What? You guys lied about the grand prize." "Technically no, but Hui and E'Dawn were going to give out one of those large gift baskets filled with chocolate and toys." "Wow." "I know, but now that you know about it wanna get out of here?" "And do what?" "I'm starving. I haven't eaten since this morning. How about we get dinner?" "What if I already ate?" "If you're trying to reject me, Melanie, because you're still dating GOT's Mark, then just let me know."
Yuto was about to turn away when Melanie took a hold of his arm. "Hold on, Yuto. I'm not with him anymore. We broke up already." Melanie said as Yuto turned to face her and smiled happily. "Then how about that dinner offer again?" "Is that meant to be like an actual date?" "If you wanna call it that, Melanie." 'Keywords are 'if I want to', Yuto." Melanie chuckled as Yuto took her hand in his and led her away from the Phi Tau Gamma fraternity house. "How about we call it a date since we're both single and that we confessed." Melanie laced their fingers together. "Okay, Yuto, whatever you say. It's a date." "Then it's a date." He grinned happily.
Hongseok and Serena were still in the water playing as they had totally forgotten about the situation, but Changgu had come to check up on them or more like Serena and witnessed the duo's interaction with one another. He let out several awkward coughs to get their attention until Hongseok finally noticed his friend. "Oh hey, Yeo One. How are you?" He greeted him casually as Serena finally caught the name clearly and looked at Changgu. "Wait a minute. Is your nickname Yeo One?" "Yeah. Why do you ask?" Changgu confirmed as Serena splashed him which made Changgu back up with a confused face. "What was that for?"
"Because you're the guy that everyone kept mentioning during the scavenger hunt by calling me Yeo One's girl or something similar to that. So it's you." Serena splashed water at Changgu again who dodged it with a nervous laugh while explaining. "That's a total misunderstanding on the boys' side." Hongseok rest his arms on the pool's edge while casting Changgu a look. "No, it's not. You're obvious about it." Serena joined him and nudged him. "What do you mean by that, Seok?" Hongseok cast Serena a knowing look. "Haven't you ever wondered about those candy snack bags you find in your bag throughout the day?"
"No. Because I carry my candy stash everywhere I go, too, so I don't think too much about it." Serena laughed as Hongseok was going to explain again, but Changgu intervened with a sheepish look. "It's not important, Serena." He then looked at his friend. "Anyways, Hui resumed the activities, but we have to ban Dale from future PTG as that's not how our house roll." "Well that makes sense. Good." Hongseok agreed as this reminded Serena about the incident from earlier. "For reals though I'll do something if I see his face again." Both Serena and Hongseok lifted themselves out of the pool. "Calm down Pikachu."
Serena rolled her eyes before pushing Hongseok back into the pool and managed to not get drag back in as well. "Rina!" Hongseok yelled in surprised while he flopped back into the pool and Serena ran off laughing as Changgu watched the scene happen quickly before him. Changgu smiled a second later when Hongseok called for his help, but decided to follow after Serena who didn't noticed the male matching her strides a second later. She wrung out the excess water from her hair and held the headband instead of placing it back on to her head when she was done. "I need to get back to the dorm and change before I get sick."
"Do you wanna change now and return them to me later?" Changgu asked causing Serena to stop walking and the male doing the same. "Why are you following me, Changgu?" "Just making sure you're safe." "So that you could secretly give me more candies?" "No." He laughed as Serena smiled. "I pretty sure I know you from somewhere else." "You tutor me and some others for writing sessions every other Wednesday." "Oh, right. I remember you now. You're that person that likes to talk every time other people talk." "Yeah, that's me." Changgu chuckled with a sheepish expression. "Sorry about that."
"It's okay. You make the sessions a little more fun." Serena admitted while wringing out the excess water from Hongseok's coat jacket to which Changgu now took notice of. "So, Serena, do you wanna take my offer and changed out of your wet clothes?" "Why? Are you jealous because I'm not wearing your coat jacket?" "A little bit." Changgu admitted with a laugh as Serena smiled. "I guess the girls weren't wrong about me coming out to have fun tonight." "Oh, why is that?" "Because of you." "What about me?" "I kinda like you, too." Serena confessed as Changgu laughed a shy laugh, but heard how she confessed to him. "Kinda?"
Serena nodded with a slight laugh. 'Well, Changgu, you're cute and seem like a very nice guy, but I don't really know you." "Oh right that's true, Serena." He agreed before smiling wide with a hint of mischievousness. "We can get to know one another better, but how about we get you changed into dry clothes first. Say in my clothes than Hongseok's." "Very smooth." "Oh, well, you know I try my best." "I wish you did since you keep coming back for tutoring." "That was just an excuse to hang out with you." He laughed as he motioned with his head towards the house. "C'mon. I'll make sure no one disturbs you." He offered his hand out to her.
"Alright." Serena took his offered hand, but remembered something. "Wait. My sister really wanted the grand prize." Changgu let out a chuckle while rubbing the back of his neck in a sheepish manner. "Yeah, it's nothing." "Seriously?" "The grand prize isn't really all that grand." "So I participated for nothing." "Not nothing. You and I got a better chance of knowing one another." "I might take it back." "Oh, c'mon don't do that or I'll have to attend your other tutoring sessions." "Please don't. The others get distracted." "I'll just distract only you then." "Only if you give me more snack bags." "Deal." "I was joking." "I'll give them to you anyways."

Stay
Genre: idol!au, slice of life, slight fluff Word Count: 4,412 Summary: Sisters, Melanie and Serena get snowed in in their apartment building. SKZ also live in the same apartment complex and on the same floor and all eleven end up hanging out to pass time. Only because SKZ locked themselves out of their dorm.
Warning: none... i think. maybe swear words. i honestly forgot. lol
so yeah, this came up because this user was doing a writing contest for winter stories with the snowed in prompt and this happened. other than that yeah. also the title STAY is a double meaning with the fandom name as well as a place to be. happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
revised. 9.10.20
"Hey, it's seven." Melanie said to her sister, Serena.
Serena jerked awake after hearing Melanie's words and reached out for her phone to check the time. It was only six-fifty-two.
"Seven my ass." Serena groaned while stretching before getting out of bed.
Serena exited her room while passing Melanie's to see her sister do her make-up before going to the bathroom for her morning routine. Less than fifteen minutes later and all bundle up for the cold weather, the sisters left their apartment, down the elevators, and were met with the building staff informing them that they were unable to leave the premises due to the heavy snow causing them to be snowed in.
"All of that for nothing. Thanks." Serena stated with sarcasm as she and her sister rode the elevator back to their apartment.
"Hey, it wasn't my fault. The weather person said it wouldn't snow that much and we'll be able to do some last minute Christmas shopping." Melanie defended herself while letting out a sigh. "I was supposed to get Nayoung's gift for tomorrow."
"Then why did you need me again?"
"Because you were supposed to buy all the other smaller gifts for the kids at your work next week."
"Oh, right. I forgot."
"Mmhmm."
The elevator doors opened, the pair stepped out, and made their way back home while passing by a group of boys. The sisters turned their head to face them while informing them that they couldn't leave the building due to the snow. Not really paying attention to the who the group of boys were, the sisters continued on their way while starting a new conversation.
"Hey, you know what group I've been listening to on repeat now?" Serena asked Melanie as she already knew the answer. "Stray Kids."
"Yeah. How's you know?"
"Don't think I don't hear Dope Flamingo in the morning or the part in I Am You from Felix to the end over and over late at night. I may be selective hearing, Rina, but I can still hear that, too."
"My bad, my bad. But yeah, I'm actually listening to their stuff."
"Wow, seriously? Like nine months later?"
"Hey, technically I did listen to Stray Kids, but I was just not paying attention to them at those times. In my defense, Mel, I was way more focused with Idol Producer and all of the boys' activities once the show ended." Serena defended herself. "Plus, Jeffrey's 9 to 5 has been on repeat, too, still."
"Mmhmm."
"Whatever. The life of a multi-fandom fangirl is tough."
"Basically."
"Oh, by the way, My Pace actually grew on me, but I Am You is still like their best promo song for now."
"Okay." Melanie scoffed. "What made you changed your mind, huh?"
"Well, after you played that one performance of theirs for their comeback, I actually really like the beat and message of I Am You once I focused on it more. Honestly though actually all of their songs have really good messages and you can relate with it on a more personal level of oneself."
The sisters finally reached their apartment door with Melanie searching for her keys as Serena left it behind.
"Oh, yeah?" Melanie mused. "Who's your bias?"
"Uh, well you probably already know this knowing how you always know who's my bias, but it's C-" Serena paused in mid-sentence upon glancing up and recognizing the group of males that had passed by them earlier.
"Oh, shit."
"What?" Melanie cast her a confused look before following her line of sight and Melanie's eyes widened upon recognizing the males. "Whoa. It's Stray Kids."
"Oh, wait. We're fine since they don't speak English." Serena said with a relieved breath not really thinking clearly due to lack of sleep as Melanie shot her a look with a smirk. "Did you really forget that two of them are fluent while the rest can more or less understand and speak it?"
"Ah, fuck." Serena swore in English before switching to Korean and apologizing. "Sorry, my bad."
She nudged her sister. "Can you like open the doof\r now so that I can scream into a pillow of my complete embarrassment of this moment?"
"No." Melanie deadpanned with a laugh.
She then turned towards the idols while ignoring her sister who let out a soft groan as Serena had turned away from the people.
"Hi." She greeted them while speaking in Korean. "What can we do for you guys?"
"Um, we wanted to ask if you knew for how long we'll be snowed in for?" Chan asked as the leader of Stray Kids.
"The guy up front said something about all morning and that it may be all day if the snow continues like this well into the night."
The other boys let out concerns amongst them about not being able to head to the company for practice and lessons. They wondered what they should do as a few of them tried to call their manager about not being to work. At this time, Serena was sneakily trying to grab Melanie's keys which got her sister's attention.
"What are you doing?" Melanie asked glancing at her keys before looking up at Serena.
"I'm trying to go inside where my warm bed is calling me back to sleep in it." Serena remarked with a roll of her eyes. "Can we?"
"Let me basked in Stray Kids' presence right now."
"I'm surprised you haven't asked for a photo yet."
"I gotta show them respect and space. Duh. They're just like the rest of us, but more noticeable."
"Ah, true. Okay, whatever. Do your thing and I'll just sulk over here quietly until your done."
"Stop being a loner and acting like a baby."
"I can do whatever I want. You're not my mom."
The sisters' usual bantering were interrupted with a few coughs that drew their attention back onto the nine males.
"So, uh, this might be a bit weird," Chan began before Jisung cut to the chase. "Can we hang out with you guys since we locked ourselves out of our dorm and our manager is unable to return since he's also stuck at the company because of the snow."
"Seriously?" Melanie and Serena chorused while shooting the other a look before facing the boys again.
"You're not worried that we might be crazy fans or something like that?" Serena asked cautiously.
"Well, you guys would have crowded us by now if you were." Minho reasoned as Serena laughed. "You do know that there are fans who are just as crazy as regular crazy fans, but aren't as brash as others and attacked in a different way, right?"
Melanie elbowed her sister before explaining what Serena meant as her sister cast her an annoyed look, but didn't say anything.
"What my sister means is that are you sure that you trust us to actually hang out?" Melanie asked with a kind expression. "Because you don't really know us and we're practically strangers."
"Oh yeah, sure, Mel, that's totally what I meant." Serena mumbled in a sulking tone.
"You're STAYs and we're Stray Kids. We're not strangers at all." Felix reasoned while using English as Chan shot the sisters a sheepish look while letting out a sheepish laugh, but spoke in Korean. "We might've overheard your conversation earlier."
"Oh, great. Another thing to add to my already overflowing list of embarrassments especially that they heard and understood me." Serena muttered once more to herself as Melanie elbowed her with a chuckle. "What else is new?"
"Shut up."
"We're not interrupting anything are we?" Seungmin suddenly asked upon seeing the way the sisters were interacting and one of them being not as lively as the other.
"Oh, no, we're fine." Melanie smiled at them. "She's just cranky because she hasn't slept much."
"Yeah, just tired, but peachy. Sorry." Serena mustered up a sincere smile, but Melanie knew her sister wanted to throttle her right then and there.
"Anyways, we've been standing out here a bit too long so let's go inside and get warmed up, yeah?" Melanie suggested while pointing behind her. "I can make you guys hot cocoa and we can just watch some Christmas movie or something like that."
"Yeah, you play hostess and I'll get sleep." Serena mused in English. "Definitely sounds like a great plan."
It definitely wasn't. Serena ended up playing co-hostess with Melanie and was unable to returned back to sleep. For the next three hours the siblings served the idols hot cocoa, some snacks and food, and watched Nightmare High instead of a Christmas movie because that's where Serena had left off on last night. While the boys were in the middle of the last few episodes as they actually got time to just relax and be normal young adults, Serena went to annoy Melanie in the kitchen.
"You know, Mel, it's still kinda weird that we have idols in our home just chilling and relaxing yet it seems like they're our actual brothers who I might add are kinda needy now that I think about it." Serena commented with a chuckle as Melanie agreed.
"Me, too, Rina. Kinda makes me miss our actual ones back home."
"Yeah, right. That's a lie. You don't miss them that much."
"True. Anyways, you think the snow lightened up by now?"
"Not really. I looked out the window earlier and there's no one in the streets. No car or people, well, except the workers trying to get everything in order I guess."
"Does that mean we're gonna have a sleepover with Stray Kids?"
"Please, don't. It's crowded as it is with everyone awake. I don't even wanna think about how it'll be like when they're all asleep."
"Well, if the snow doesn't clear soon, then the boys won't be able to get back into their place since they don't have the key and their manager is still stuck at the company. The boys might end up staying the night for sure."
"I'm just surprised that they haven't asked their other label-mates though. I thought they would all live in the same building."
"Who knows. I don't keep up to date about that stuff. Oh well, more time to bask in their presence."
"You love this, don't cha?"
"Love what? That one of the groups I like is hanging out in my home just chilling? Yeah, it's pretty cool. Don't you?"
"I don't know what to think. I'm not cool like you."
"Well you better 'Get Cool', then." Melanie mused as Serena shot her a look. "Did you really have to say that?"
"It just came." Melanie shrugged. "If it happens, then it happens."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Serena dismissed before catching two red colored boxes. "Do you think the boys would mind decorating some ugly sweaters?"
"I dunno. Why do you ask?"
Serena pointed at the two ugly sweater cookie box set on their fridge.
"Isn't that supposed to be for the kids?"
"No. They can do something else. I wanna see what the boys would design and see how chaotic they would be in decorating cookies before one of them turn it into a competition or some shit like that."
"Wow. You would."
"Mmhmm." Serena hummed.
Melanie made her way towards the refrigerator to grab the two boxes and brought them down and handed it over to Serena. The duo headed back to the living room to announced the small yet fun activity to the idols. In less than five minutes when everything was out of its package and the nine idols each all got a sweater cookie in front of them did they started sabotaging one another. Melanie looked over at Serena while informing her that she would be the one cleaning up the mess since it was her idea. Serena regretfully nodded thinking they wouldn't have been this chaotic in simple cookie decorating while making her way to go get the vacuum.
"If you don't mind me asking, but why do you have a lot of men's clothing?" Jeongin asked once Serena also handed him a pair of tops and bottoms as he was the last one to received them and none of the other boys dared to do so.
"I like baggy clothing and some times our brothers visits over during the holidays and we keep extra clothes for them here." Serena answered before shooting him an apologetic smile. "Sorry if they're kinda big on you."
"No, no, it's fine. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Again, sorry about the whole mess and-"
"It's fine. Don't worry about it. Now, go check-in with Melanie and see if the line has shortened yet."
"Will do!"
Jeongin rushed off to check-in with Melanie as Serena crashed onto the couch tiredly. It took them about an hour to clean up the mess and then some more time to find clothes and have the boys used both of their bathrooms to clean off the frosting and candies. Serena felt like she just finished baby-sitting her niece, but times that by nine. Just as she was about to close her eyes she heard Melanie called for her.
"This is what I get for sleeping late and assuming that I'll be fine with a few hours of sleep. Ugh." Serena grumbled and groaned while lifting herself from the couch and slowly headed towards her sister.
"Hmm?" She hummed once she met with Melanie.
"Do you have more towels? I can't find any in the storage." Melanie asked as Serena nodded. "Yeah, I think I have some in my room. Hold on."
Serena went to go check and grabbed the three she saw first and brought them over. She held up a Hello Kitty, a Pikachu, and a Poppy towel towards her sister.
"Aww you have a Pikachu one? I would have totally used that instead of this one." Changbin said as he held up a damp coral towel after drying his hair.
Melanie laughed. "Sorry, Changbin, I forgot that Rina had other towels."
"He's really Baby Changbin, huh?" Serena mused with a chuckle as Changbin turned shy upon hearing the nickname.
"He is, but I think all of them are Stray Babies, anyways." Melanie stated as Serena nodded in agreement with a laugh. "OMG, true."
"You make us sound like we're puppies and kittens." Seungmin commented upon hearing the pair's words.
"You kinda are at the moment since we took you in as you're locked out of your dorm." Serena reasoned as Melanie laughed. "Dude, that's kinda true."
"Usually we're the ones that trash talk each other. It's kind of different hearing it from our fans when we're around." Hyunjin said with a small smile. "Of course we do hear some similar things, but they're more in the sweet and lovable sort of way."
"Yeah, that's not really our thing." Melanie stated. "We mainly cheer from afar and just support while making fun and silly comments about those that we like."
Melanie pointed at Serena. "Well, that's me. Serena likes to deny a lot of things and pretends she doesn't care, but she does."
"Thanks for exposing me." Serena muttered as Melanie grinned. "You're welcome."
"By the way," Felix interjected, "Who won the ugly sweater thing?"
"Were we supposed to judge that?" Melanie pointed at herself and Serena. "Because I didn't do anything."
"I didn't either. You guys can judge that." Serena informed them while walking back to the living room. "I'm gonna watch my Youtube."
"Oh, yeah, just throw your clothes in the pile and we'll wash it so you guys can gave it back." Melanie said while pointing at the floor before walking off. "I'll be with Rina if ya need me or us."
By the time Stray Kids cleaned themselves up, changed into the clothes the girls gave them, and entered the living room did they see that lots of blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals had been laid out all over the living room and that a fake mini Christmas tree had been set up in the corner of the apartment.
"What's going on?" Minho asked first.
"Oh, this is just in case the snow continues the way it is." Melanie answered while continuing to decorate the last pieces of her fake tree.
"Yeah, you guys can choose to sleep wherever you want." Serena explained after having laid out the last blanket. "We just laid it out like whatever, but you can move and set it however you like, especially the stuffed animals."
"But it's barely like one in the afternoon." Jisung stated having checked his phone.
"Then that means it's nap time." Serena mused with a tired expression, but Melanie disagreed. "No, Rina. It's lunch time."
"Well, then you can make lunch for the kids while I have a meeting with my bed."
"You're such a kid."
"Always and forever."
Serena began making her way towards her room while pointing at things behind her while speaking to the idols.
"Have fun. Enjoy yourself and try not to make that much of a mess. Okay, good night!"
She bid them farewell with a small laugh and escaping to her room before Melanie could ask her to do anything else.
"Um, if you want us to leave, we can." Chan said just as Melanie finished decorating her trees before turning to face the  boys. "No, you guys are fine. I'm sure you don't have any where else to go unless your other label-mates live in the same building or something then yeah, it's up to you."
Melanie then thought of her sister and cast them a reassuring smile. "Don't mind, Serena. She's just weird and acts like that to distance herself and what not. Still, if y'all wanna leave, then you can. If not, then you're more than welcome to stay."
Stray Kids ended up staying as their label-mates were actually either at the company or overseas doing their own activities. They really didn't have anywhere else to go unless they asked the front for a key, but neither of them wanted to ask since their manager had to replace their keys twice this month already. He was not thrilled about it and it actually came out of their pockets that time around.
"What's your guys' apartment number?" Serena suddenly asked upon entering the living room again while dressed in warmly and putting on a bigger jacket.
"Um, where are you going?" Melanie asked her sister.
"Gonna get the kids a key so they can get inside their apartment."
"Are you kicking us out?" Changbin asked with a frown.
"Yeah, did we do something wrong?" Jisung added.
Serena shook her head as she answered them. "No, it's not like that. I just don't want my sister and I to get in trouble or you guys to get in trouble or anything like that if your manager and maybe your company finds out you've been hanging out with fans."
"Oh." The idols chorused.
"So what's your number?"
"It's seven-twenty-four." Chan informed Serena.
"Okay, cool. Meet me at the lobby in like five minutes and act like how you actually act towards your actual manager."
"What exactly are you gonna do?"
"I have to appear like I walked my ass all the way from the company and pretend to be a JYP staff and Stray Kids' new second manager." She cast a glance at the boys. "Okay, it's easy. Just act like you've been waiting and all that. Five minutes."
Soon enough Serena exited the apartment with the idols looking over at Melanie.
"Hey, just go with it. She's really not trying to kick you out, but she is looking out for your guys' well-being." Melanie stated with a shrug. "I would've done the same."
It was more like another five minutes wait as the boys waited for Serena to appear at the front desk since they didn't see her around the lobby. Melanie stayed back since she didn't want to ruin anything to whatever Serena was planning. A moment later, the door burst opened letting in the cold air and some snow before revealing Serena shaking off the excess white specks off of her.
"Noona!" Stray Kids exclaimed as they ran towards her and enveloped her in a group hug.
Serena was about to push them away, but remember that she told them to act like how they would to their actual manager. She was surprised that they were like this and wondered how overwhelmed their actual manager must get because of them and managing them.
"Okay, okay. Calm down and let me get through so we can get warm up." Serena told them as each boy finally released her before ordering them to stand off to the side so she could take care of the situation."
"I need a key to apartment number seven-two-four, please." Serena said to the male staff at the front desk.
"And may I asked who's asking?" He asked with a cautious look.
"A JYP staff and their second manager." Serena answered while pointing behind her with a neutral expression. "Now the key, please."
"What happened with Mr. Min Taesuk?"
"Oppa had other things to take care and I was left to deal with this. May I have the key, please."
"Didn't we already made copies for that apartment a few months ago?"
"Yes, you did and unfortunately these boys keep losing and forgetting them."
The male staff was hesitant and Serena's patience was growing thin.
"If I need to make an unnecessary call to Boss JYP for you to even get this handle I won't mind doing so and explain that a small matter had to interrupt his important ones." Serena slightly reasoned and threatened while bringing out her mobile phone.
"No, no. It's okay. Seven-two-four, correct?" The staff turned polite upon hearing JYP and listened to Serena.
"Yes."
The male staff went to input the information before hurrying to the back for something. He returned with a spare and handed it over to Serena.
"Luckily, we have one always on hand so here you go." He smiled as politely as possible. "Sorry about that, ma'am. No charge for your convenience."
"It's fine and thank you. I appreciate the convenience. Have a nice day."
Serena curtly turned around and walked by the boys while motioning at them to follow her. "Let's go."
"Thank you so much noona!" The boys cheered as they all entered the elevator back to their floor.
Once the elevator doors closed did Serena let out a breath.
"I can't believe that work!" Jeongin exclaimed with excitement.
"Noona you're so cool!" Minho complimented as she gave him a thumbs up.
Chan patted her back in thanks. "Sorry for troubling you, but thank you."
Serena gave him a small smile while offering him the the card. Chan took it with a grateful look.
"Did you actually go outside?" Hyunjin asked with a curious gaze. "How did they not noticed you?"
"I scaled the walls." Serena answered with a neutral expression.
"Really?" They let out with widened eyes.
"No." She deadpanned before explaining. " I took the stairs and exited out the back and basically rounded the building, but had to wait because of the traffic and the whole re-directing bit. It was longer than expected."
"Thank you." Chan thanked her once again with a sincere look. "We really do appreciate this."
"You're welcome."
The doors opened and Melanie was waiting outside their own apartment. The group of eleven crowded around apartment 722.
"How'd it go?" Melanie asked.
"Peachy. The boys can actually go back home." Serena replied with a smile.
Melanie slightly frowned. "Aww, so soon?"
The idols also looked a bit sad to go, but Chan mustered up a smile. "We thank you for your hospitality and for taking care of us, but we've imposed enough and-"
"It's fine. You guys can stay as long as you like. You don't have to go just yet, I guess." Serena reluctantly told them as everyone cheered.
"I'm so glad you said that because Melanie told us we'll watch Frozen and get to make gingerbread houses." Felix stated happily.
"Oh, she did, did she?"
Serena eyed her sister who just smiled at her with a huge smirk.
"Whatever. Just try not to get frosting in each other's hair again, okay?"
"Okay!" The idols cheered as they rushed inside the girls' apartment while leaving the sisters behind.
"I hate you." Serena said with a glare at Melanie while using English.
"No you don't." Melanie countered with a laugh also using English. "Hey, at least you can hang out with Bang Chan more."
"I hate that you know who my bias is already. Not cool."
"Your favorite member is our leader, Serena?" Felix asked to confirm having coming up to the girls to ask them something which wasn't the first question he asked.
"No." "Yes." Serena and Melanie answered differently causing Felix to grinned mischievously. "I heard the conversation and I can't wait to tell him."
"No you don't or I'm throwing you outside and you can become an actual snowman." Serena threatened as Melanie dismissed her threat. "No she won't because she's lazy and doesn't wanna die by the other STAYs."
"I'll buy you vegimite and butter for your toasts for as long as we both shall live if you don't say anything." Serena pleaded as Melanie shook her head with a laugh. "No, don't do it Felix."
"Don't listen to her, Felix."
"I'll think about it." Felix smiled mischievously until Serena looked at him while speaking in a firm tone as she enunciated his name. "Lee. Yong. Bok."
Felix froze upon hearing his Korean name and felt a shiver run down his spine. "Okay. I won't do it."
"Do what?" Chan suddenly appeared while gazing at all three of them.
"You're Serena's bias." Melanie revealed with a chuckle while pushing Felix inside the apartment and then pushing Chan out of it before slamming the door closed.
Chan looked at Serena questioningly with an awkward smile while Serena just shook her head in disbelief.
"Can you get one of your kids to open the door and I'll shall make you home-cooked food for as long as we both shall live?" Serena asked in a calm tone as Chan let out a laugh with a nod. "Sure, but don't you forget this deal."
"How can I?" Serena let out in a defeated tone with a wry smile. "It's been added to my already overflowing pile of embarrassments."
