This is Lay, by the way ^ ^

You looked down at your phone in puzzlement. Bubble tea? Lay? He knows my phone number? How?

A few hours before hand

Lay watched Luhan follow you up the hill to the bathroom, Luhan’s fingers typing away on his phone. Lay narrowed his eyes. I liked her first.

“Hey, Chen,” Lay called. A few spaces down, Chen looked up with a spoonful of rice in his mouth. “What?” He replied.

Lay got his wallet out of his pocket, “Do you have Saerom’s number?”

Chen shook his head, “Nah, I think only the girls do.”

“Oh?” Lay peeked over at Mina and Eunhee, he deliberated. If he were to ask one of them for your number he was sure they would give it to him. The result however, would probably conclude with relentless teasing from Kai- because Mina would mention it- or relentless teasing from Eunhee- Just because that’s how she is. Lay sighed; Chen was his best bet since they were pretty close, despite his mocking attitude. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a moderate about of money, “I’ll give you this to steal Luhan’s phone, write down Saerom’s number and give it to me.”

Chen’s face lit up like a Christmas tree, his hands greedily making their way towards the cash, only to be interrupted when Lay pulled back suddenly. “With the exception that you don’t ask why I’m doing this and please, please, don’t let Luhan know. I’ll pay you when it’s done.”

Chen smirked, as close as they were he couldn’t help but a bit. “The things we do for love, aye?”

Lay waved his hands dismissively, accustomed to Chen’s personality. “Good luck, I’ll be waiting.”

And with that…

 “Yoink!” Chen had successfully stolen Luhan’s phone and was now running away with it- for some unknown reason. Luhan snapped out of his trance and cursed Chen under his breath before running after him. “Hey! What are you doing?!”

“Fulfilling Lay’s request!” Chen shouted over his shoulder with a laugh as he went through Luhan’s phone and found your number, he smirked.

We come back to the story…

Your fingers hovered over your touch screen as you nibbled on your bottom lip, wondering what your reply should be. It’s a Friday so I don’t have school tomorrow and my parents are rather lenient. A smile formed on your lips as you hastily wrote a reply.

To: Lay :3

From: Saerom :)

Sure ! I’ll meet you at the school gates after class :)

Eunhee peeked at your phone, resting her chin on your shoulder, “What are you smiling about, texting Luhan?”

You laughed and showed her Lay’s messages, “I’m going to have bubble tea!” You smiled, actually happy at the thought of going out with Lay.

“Oh!” Eunhee’s eyes widened in surprised as she snatched your phone, “Seriously?!” Her eyes scanned the small conversation and she was even
