~MEANWHILE~

Onew and Juri just left the restaurant, both still slightly uncomfortable with each other's presence.

They looked around, admiring the scenery around them.

It was then Onew knew, this was his only chance, why miss it?

He took a deep breath before looking at Juri with a smile.

“S-So, what do you do for a living?”

WAIT WHAT?!

WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?!

WHO.IN.THIS.MILKYWAY.WOULD.ASK.THAT.TO.SOMEONE.WHO.IS.IN.THE.SAME.SCHOOL.AS.THEY.ARE?

Onew could have sworn he was brutally murdered mentally.

Juri looked up at Onew before chuckling.

“I’m a student.”

Onew felt his cheeks heat up.

“Oh… right... Me too.”

Juri smiled.

“So, what do you like to do?”

Onew slowly felt himself ease up with just a glance of her smile.

“I like to eat chicken.”

*… Remind me to murder myself with a rusted knife later on mind.*

Juri chuckled and Onew followed soon after.

“What about you?”

“I like to draw.”

Onew nodded and smiled.

“Well I would like to see your art works someday.”

“Of course, my pleasure.”

They smiled.

Just then, Onew tripped, and worst of all, he tripped on AIR.

How embarrassing for a man who’s with the girl he likes.

“OMO ONEW SSHI ARE YOU OK?!”

Onew nodded before slowly picking himself up.

He grinned and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

“I-I’m fine. It happens all the time.”

Juri giggled and Onew couldn’t help but grin.

*I MADE HER GIGGLE HEHE.*

They went on, both feeling slightly more comfortable with each other.

Guess their relationship progresses fast huh?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~BACK AT THE RESTAURANT~

The trio continued staring at you and Taemin.

Both you and Taemin were eating quietly, speaking up from time to time.

They sighed.

“Why are they so awkward now? I can feel the thick aura of awkwardness from here.” Jonghyun whimpered before sipping on his water with a sniffle.

Key sighed again.

“We’ll just have to wait dino-freak. They’ll progress soon.”

MinHo shifted his gaze from you and Taemin to the mental pair.

“Hey, how do both of you know how to stalk so well? Have you ever done this before?”

They turned to Minho with wide eyes.

“STALK?! WELL?! STALKED?! BEFORE?! PFTT WE’RE BEGINNERS OK? WE HAVE NEVER STALKED ANYBODY BEFORE!!! ESPECIALLY SOMEONE LIKE YOU MINHO!!!! HAHA MINHO YOU ARE ONE FUNNY TREE.” Jonghyun said with a very much fake laugh.

MinHo stared at him blankly.

“There’s something suspicious.”

“SUSPICIOUS?! PFTT THE ONLY THING SUSPICIOUS IS… WHY THE FAT MAN OVER THERE IS ABLE TO FIND A PAIR OF SKINNY JEANS THAT COULD FIT HIM HAHA!!! AS A DIVA EVEN I CAN’T FIND SKINNY JEANS OF HIS SIZE… EVEN THOGUH I DON’T REALLY CARE SINCE I’M PRATICALLY A BAMBOO SHOOT.” Key added as he sipped on his water.

MinHo frowned at them, obviously not convinced at the way they were avoiding eye contact and were unconsciously drinking up the whole jar of water offered to them.

It was soon Jonghyun perked up.

“Oh speaking of which, how is it with you and Haeyong?”

MinHo turned to Jonghyun in shock.

“HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?!”

Jonghyun froze, dropping his glass cup on the clothed table.

*… RED_DINO-ALERT!!! RED_DINO-ALERT!!!*

Key too froze, before using his empty cup to smack Jonghyun at the back of his head.

Good thing both glass didn’t break.

“YAH WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU?! JUST HOW MANY BRAIN CELLS DO YOU HAVE?!”

Jonghyun whimpered.

“I forgot.”

“FORGOT?! OH MY GAWD DO YOU EVEN HAVE BRAIN CELLS?!”

MinHo glared at them.

“Care to EXPLAIN to me what’s happening?”

The pair cleared their throats before Key let out a nervous chuckle.

“Well you see MinHo, it has been passing around in school and err… We kind of overheard?”

“Not even a single soul in the school knows and I’m sure of that.”

“WHAT?! YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT MINHO?! OH MINHO YOU OUTDATED TREE HAHAHA…”

MinHo’s glare deepened before he let out a growl.

“KEY… JONGHYUN…”

The mentioned pair avoided his eye contact before sipping the air in their empty glasses.

Just then, the food arrived.

“OH LOOK FOOD’S HERE HAHA LET’S EAT!!! THANK YOU CUTE WAITER HAHA HAVE FUN DOING WHAT YOU DO!!!” Both Jonghyun and Key exclaimed together.

The waiter smiled at the pair before thanking them and heading off.

MinHo stared at them weirdly.

The pair quickly stuffed their faces with the spaghetti.

Minho shook his head before face-palming.

“Both of you stalked me didn’t you two?”

They immediately shot up, mouths still full of spaghetti.

“NO WE DIDN’T!!!”

MinHo sighed.

“Remind me to buy a gun on our way back home later on.”
