Jeno is hiding on top of the roof so he doesn't have to take care of the freshman reps. Being a sophomore rep is much more troublesome than he planned. The female reps of the freshman wouldn't stop badgering him. No means no. Having a nibble on chocolate calms his nerve down. 

"AHHHHHH!"

Jeno's much-needed tranquility is interrupted by yet another freshman. However, this time, it's a boy. "Hey, freshman! Calm down, would ya?"

Donghyuck looks a little embarrassed because he thoughts he was the only one up here. Apparently, he forgot to check before letting out his frustration. "S-Sorry."

"What's wrong?" The engineering major sophomore asks. He crunches up the chocolate wrapper and threw it in the trash. Jeno felt a little bad about his tone of voice when he saw that the freshman was crying. He didn't mean for it to sound that mean. 

"Sorry."

"No need to apologize," The sophomore shrugged. "It's always better to let things out rather keeping them bottled in. My obsession with chocolate had been discovered, by an angry freshman no less."

Donghyuck didn't sense the joking tone and took the joke seriously. "Sorry, hyung. It's my fault. I'll leave you alone."

"It's ok," Jeno sighs. "I'm done anyway. You stay and calm down whatever it is that made you upset."

"No need for that hyung. You came here before me."

"I say stay so stay. Don't argue with me, freshie. I can tell you need to be alone."

"Ok, hyung."

"You're... Donghyuck right? The male rep of biology?" The sophomore walks toward Donghyuck.

"Yes hyung."

"I'm Jeno." After the introduction, Jeno turns around to head for the door, only to see Mark walking toward the two of them. "Oh Mark, what's up?"

"Hey, short kid, what are you doing here?" Mark acknowledges Jeno and immediately go after Donghyuck. "You still have some photo shoot. You know this kid, Jeno? Don't tell me you're..."

"I saw him really bummed out so I just kept him company," Jeno scoffs light. 

"Why don't you just jump from the roof? Maybe it'll help you," Mark's scoff was very audible in contrast to Jeno's.

Donghyuck's feeling was extremely hurt by those words, whether or not Mark truly meant it. However, Jeno is here this time to come to Donghyuck's rescue. "Mark, not cool man. Stop doing this to the freshman."

"Renjun and Jaemin are gonna go out for drinks tonight, you coming?" Mark changes the subject, knowing he gone to far this time.

"Of course," Jeno laughs. "I'll prove you medicine junkies have low tolerance once and for all."

"You're good at that aren't you?" Mark smirks. His expression changed to stern as he looked back at the awkward freshman who just stands there. "What are you upset about? Your parents cut off your allowance?"

"None of your business!"

"Or maybe your boyfriend went to some other girls."

"Huh?" 

"Isn't Chenle your boyfriend?" Mark raised an eyebrow. 

"We're not!" Donghyuck retorted. "And I'm not gay."

"Whatever," The sophomore rep rolled his eyes. "Then, what's wrong with your life? Everyone is already prepared for the photo shoot. You think you're some idol prepping for a movie?"

Donghyuck was speechless. Somehow, Mark hurts the freshman's feeling more than he already had. Since he has nothing else to say, Donghyuck took out his wallet from his right pant's pocket to get out the same amount of money that would take to buy a frozen pink milk tea. He held the money straight toward Mark, who just look at it confused. 

"The money for the tea," Donghyuck said almost emotionless.

"Don't like free stuff?" Mark challenged the freshman. 

"No, it's not that I don't like free stuff," The freshman answered. 

"Then what is it?"

"I don't like owing anyone anything."

"Everyone, including you, drank already. Stop complaining."

"I don't want to be like the other people," Donghyuck pushes the money further. 

"You're such a weirdo," Mark scoffed, still not accepting the money. "Don't be a drama queen and just go to the photoshoot."

The two of them forgot about Jeno, who just stand there awkwardly. The sophomore from the engineering department watched the whole interaction with complete interest. The two in from of him is like cat and mouse. 

"Just take the money!" Donghyuck pushed the money toward Mark again.

"Go buy popsicles with that," Mark pushed the money back. "You're special now, happy? Pretend I bought you a snack instead of drinks."

Although Donghyuck is still unsatisfied, he kept it to himself and didn't verbalize his internal turmoil. 

"When you finish whining, come inside and finish your damn photo shoot," Mark said for the last time before heading back inside. 

Jeno silently laughs to himself. He had never seen anyone piss off Mark before. the freshman seems to have an effect on the "stone face" sophomore Jeno once knew. "Why are you acting so weird? Mark could have punched you."

"Alright, Chenle, Seulgi, you're up," The photographer called the next couple up for the photo shoot. 

After the whole scene, Jeno manages to convince Donghyuck back to the photo shoot area and get the boy to make up. While the sophomore watched the whole photoshoot from far away, Mark has the best seat for the whole thing, even though he pays attention to his phone more. Of course, that is until the photographer called on Donghyuck's name. 

"Don't move and smile," The photographer counted down. "I... 2... 3... Good good good. Next!"

Donghyuck got off and walked to the sideline where Chenle is waiting. The Chinese male pulls Donghyuck to his side and held him close. From other people point of view, Donghyuck and Chenle genuinely look like a couple. Mark, especially, notices the whispering and laughing they do with each other.

It also didn't help that Donghyuck is inviting Chenle out for ice cream after the photo shoot. The two of them ditch the other reps and went to the convenience store near the school. Donghyuck "suddenly" has the urge to eat ice cream out of nowhere. He got a chocolate popsicle while Chenle got a two-sticks mango popsicle.

"You know, just because you treated me to ice cream doesn't mean you are gonna top tonight," Chenle teased his best friend. "You even spend your own money? Moreover, popsicles? Wouldn't ice cream cone be more like you?"

"None of your business," Donghyuck couldn't stop smiling as he stares at his ice cream. 

Chenle was stunned by the fact that Donghyuck completely overlooks the gay joke. Usually, he would get a smack or at least, a kick in the shin. 

That night, Donghyuck found himself staying up later than he intended. By no mean is the reason that Wendy, the girl next door, isn't home yet. The image of her with Mark is imprinting in his brain for some reason. Donghyuck convinced himself that he doesn't care what those two possible do but his sub conscience forced him to stay up. It's not his fault. 

The only problem is Donghyuck couldn't sit still and read his manga. His mind kept on creeping toward the door. After giving in to his curiosity, Donghyuck tiptoes toward the door and peeks outside. The hall is empty, just as his rational side of the brain had said. Donghyuck adjusted his giant reading glasses and he looks around the hall. Once he's satisfied, Donghyuck goes back into his room and sat down to read his manga. 

RING! The phone rings as Donghyuck got two pages into the new volume. "Chenle?"

"Wanna hang out? There's a bakery near my dorm."

"Sure, I got nothing to do by myself in my dorm."

"My friend from the engineering department will also be there by the way," Chenle added in. 

"Yeah, I need new friends that are not you and people from my department," Donghyuck replied.

"Want me to pick you up?"

"No, I can get there myself."

Donghyuck twirls around his room to get ready. After putting away all the manga on the table, he puts on a presentable outfit. Then, he busted out the door, almost forgot to lock the door. When he skips downstair, Donghyuck rushes pass another student.

Suddenly, he got smack on his neck. "!"

" is right," The other student said as-a-matter-of-fact. "You're gonna fall by running down the stairs like that. And the smacking is for not saying hi to your senior from high school."

"Oh?" Donghyuck looks at the older male closer. "Umm... Renjun hyung!"

"Got it right the first time," Renjun ruffles the boy's hair. 

Back in high school, Mark is considered the hottest guy in school. The second in command is Renjun. While Mark is the number one hottest guy, Renjun is the coolest with his cold mysterious attitude. He's very observant and good with memories so it wasn't a surprise when Renjun recognized Donghyuck.

Renjun grabs Donghyuck's shoulder as a friendly gesture but the younger boy flinched. "Don't be afraid. I was just kidding! What department are you in, Donghyuck?"

"Biology," Donghyuck answered.

"Look so handsome now," The dark hair boy commented. "Must have all the female chasing you."

"I look the same," The freshman laughs. "Aren't we all like this?"

Renjun laughs along. "Did you know the other hyungs also live here? Remember Mark? If you bump into him, he'll help you with anything. He a nice guy and likes to help out the underclassman."

Donghyuck mentally scoffs. If what Renjun hyung say is true then Mark is outright bullying him specifically. However, Donghyuck kept his thought to himself. "Renjun hyung, can I ask a favor?"

"What is it?" Renjun looks at the freshman skeptically. "If you need money, forget it. I don't have any."

"No, not that," The freshman scratches his head. "Can you not tell Mark hyung that we're in the same high school?"

"Why?"

"He tortured me already, so if he knew I go to the same high school, I'm dead."

"Alright, alright, I get it. I'll keep this secret to myself. I'm surprised he doesn't remember you. Then again, you changed so much."

"Renjun hyung, you're so smart," Donghyuck elbowed the older male lightly. 

"Of course, I am. I'm a million times smarter than that Mark dummy," Renjun grinned. He pulled out his phone from the back of his pocket. "Hey, give me your number. Let's keep in touch."

"Ok," Donghyuck takes the phone and inputs his number in it. "Here you go."

"Cool, so where are you going?" 

"Hang out with my friend, Chenle and his friends."

"Alrighty, I'm gonna go meet my friends as well. See ya!"

"Bye hyung!"

The hang out with Chenle was stressful. Chenle really undercounts when he said a few friends. In his term, a few mean a couple dozen. The whole eatery is basically filled with the people from the engineering department plus a couple more people from Chenle's dorm. An hour or two of people flirting, chatting, and socializing really take the energy out of Donghyuck. Somehow, the boy manages to find his way home afterward and properly take off his shoes. 

Donghyuck was too tired to care about changing into PJ. He belly flopped onto the bed and dozed off. Not even the ringing of his phone with Renjun hyung's name pop up could wake him up.

"Let's have a group picture! Closer!"

The photographer wants to have a group picture before the competition to have something to show for during the competition. Donghyuck feels a little subconscious about himself standing next to the towers of male rep. Out of every guy, he is, by far, the shortest. All the male reps are 6 feets and above and Donghyuck feels like a shrimp next to them, especially when they're lined up in single file. Luckily, Chenle is the second shortest. 

"Good good good! You guys can go now," The photographer dismissed them.

One of the other student staffs leads them to a resting area with foods and water already set up. She said we can eat all the stuff so everyone spread out to rest for the day. Every since early morning, all the reps had t a do photo shoot and prepare speeches as well as dance. Yes, you hear it right, dance. All the reps must perform at least one song together in front of the school. 

All the freshman reps were spread out in the resting area. Two very attractive sophomores walk in but one of them started to flirt with the female reps while the other one called for Donghyuck. "Hey, Donghyuck."

"Oh, Renjun hyung, hi," Donghyuck smiled back at the sophomore. 

"Come with me," Renjun pulled the freshman boy along. "There's someone you should meet."

"Where?"

"Come on, he's just over there."

Donghyuck followed Renjun to the table where the other sophomore is at, still flirting with the female reps. Renjun pulled his friend up and Donghyuck got a good look at the guy. It took a moment for Donghyuck to recognize the guy but he did. This is Jaemin. The third most popular boy in Mark's graduated class. Mark is the hottest, Renjun is the coolest, and Jaemin is the funniest. The three of them basically rule the school with their good looks and charming words. 

"Oh, Jaemin hyung, hello," Donghyuck greeted politely.

"Oh... You're... Donghyuck, right?" Jaemin grinned brightly. "Damn, you really turned out to be more handsome as days go by."

"You remember!" 

"No, he doesn't," Renjun smacked Jaemin's neck. "He had to ask me who you are when I told him about you. But to be fair, it is kinda your fault, Donghyuck. You changed a lot in a year. How were we able to recognize you when you got more good looking?"

"You're exaggerating," Donghyuck blushed a bit. He never got this much compliment in a conversation before. "Oh, why did you called me last night, Renjun hyung? I didn't pick up because I was asleep."

Renjun suddenly has the look of confusion on his face and he looked at Jaemin. The two of them seem to communicate telepathically through their facial expression. Then, Renjun's face morphed into an understanding look. "Oh right, umm... I was calling to invite you out for a drink."

"At three in the morning?" 

"Uh yeah, we just start partying then," Renjun elbowed Jaemin, who immediately nodded in response. 

"Oh sorry, I couldn't go," Donghyuck apologized.

"It's alright," Renjun brushed it off quickly. "You freshman need your beauty sleep."

"Why are you talking to my friends, short kid?" Both Renjun and Jaemin turn around slightly to see Mark stand between them. However, the wavy hair sophomore has his eyes fixated on the freshman instead of his own friends. 

"What? Jealous?" Donghyuck challenged him.

"I don't like weirdos," Mark answered.

"I don't like annoyances," The brave freshman replied. He picked up a cookie from the table and walked away confidently.

"Hey, Mark," Renjun speaks up when he was sure Donghyuck was far away. "Did you use my phone last night?"

The said boy only shrugged.

As the days go by, Donghyuck and Chenle attended dance lesson and more orientation, along with their usual classes. Rep work is much harder than they thought because it piled up along with their school works. Luckily, the two of them made friends with the other reps who are in the same situation so they all help each other out. Donghyuck learned that the female rep for his department name is Yeri. The two of them get along well. 

Even more lucky for Donghyuck, he managed to find a night to relax and take care of himself. With a face mask and a good manga, Donghyuck lay on his bed, reading with his back against a pillow against the headboard. However, his phone interrupted his relaxation before he got two pages into the manga.

"What's now, Chenle?"

"Let's go out party," Chenle sounds excited. There's a sound of hair dryer so the boy must be getting ready already.

"You asked me last week and yesterday as well," Donghyuck replied. "Because of you, I couldn't relax one bit, you party animal. I can feel my acne creeping up already."

"You skincare freaks," Chenle commented. 

"If I don't, how can you have a good looking Rep for the whole university?"

"Someone is conceded," The Chinese male laughs through the phone. "But you just don't wanna leave because you don't wanna cheat on a certain somebody."

"Use your mouth for a better reason than nagging me, yeah?" Donghyuck scoffed.

"Fine fine, I'll go without you," Chenle teased his friend even more. "But if you feel lonely, just holler and I'll come running. Maybe, you can give my mouth a reason."

"Just go get wasted and call me if you need someone to take you home instead of some stranger," The introvert boy teased back. "Everyone want a piece of you, or so I heard.'

They hung up and Donghyuck finally got back to his book. However, he was interrupted again. This time, it was by a knocking at the door. A million thoughts run through his mind. It would be embarrassing if someone sees him in a face mask and PJ. Only Chenle had seen him like this and Donghyuck is pretty sure the person on the other side of the door is not Chenle. 

"Short kid, open up."

If you haven't watched the show or listen to the song, please do. You will thank me later. It's like everything you'll ever need in life. Please do it!!! Anyway, comment and tell me how I'm doing. Good? Bad? It will just keep getting more exciting from this point on out. Also, please noted that the members that I used for the story will not match their actual age in real life. Just a reminder so you won't get confused.
