"So, Melanie, who from Seoul Academy do you like?" Katherine asked her as the duo were hanging out with their other two friends at Melanie's house.

"No one." She answered as Jasmine disagreed. "That's a lie. I know you like someone."

"I don't like anyone." Melanie denied again as she looked at her other friend. "Serena's the one that likes someone."

The other girl looked up from her book with a blank expression. "Not even."

"Yeah, you do. I've noticed that you've been smiling a lot latey these past couple of months. You're talking to someone." Melanie stated with a smug look.

"It's because I've been watching this anime series and the main couple are so cute." Serena answered and redirected the topic back onto Melanie. "Don't change the subject. You do like somebody. I've seen the love letters you've written and haven't given it to him yet."

"Who?! What?! When?! Where?! Why?!" Jasmine and Katherine both exclaimed as they huddled around Melanie eagerly. "Who is it?! Who is he? Tell us! We gotta know! Oh is it Eric? Or is it Sunwoo? Maybe it's Hyunjoon? Hmm, Taeseon is pretty along with Hakmin, too. Jaemin is a total cutie and so is Mark."

Melanie tried to back away from her two friends while shooting a glare in Serena's direction who just went back to reading with a smile on her face.

"Wait, don't tell me you like someone from the Stray Kids group." Jasmine asked with a worried look. "You know that it's pointless to date someone from that group."

"Yah, why would you think Melanie would ever date someone from there." Katherine argued while elbowing Jasmine. "They're all jerks and think they're the ."

"Because they're also hot as hell as well as the school's best sports kings. Practically all of them are the top players in our sports teams." Jasmine countered.

"Who said I like anyone from Stray Kids though?" Melanie asked as she pushed her friends away from her as they finally gave her space. "I can like whoever I want to like and it doesn't have to have anything to do with you guys either."

"True." The other duo agreed as Serena continued to focus on her book despite listening in on the conversation until her head jerked up in alarmed upon hearing the next set of words leaving Melanie's mouth.

"Besides, Serena's the one that's hiding something as she's always sneaking off during lunch saying she's just going to the library, but that's a lie."

"No, it's not. I do go when I got time for it." Serena lied with confidence.

"Oh yeah? How come I haven't seen you with new books from the library these past few weeks, hmm?"

"Because you don't read, that's why."

"Right. Nagyung says that she hasn't seen you there since you usually join her in playing Overwatch during lunch time."

"Does it really matter, Melanie?" Serena said in annoyed time as she tried to go back to her reading, but wasn't in the mood to read although she didn't want them to know that.

"Yeah!" Katherine and Jasmine answered instead as they now rushed over to her side leaving Melanie alone.

"What are you hiding? Who do you like? You like someone from Stray Kids, too, huh?" The duo questioned Serena as she mad a face at them.

"I do not." She stated while trying to move away from them. "Besides, why are y'all even asking about who we like. Who do you guys like that you're asking us."

The two girls stopped with their questioning and quietly sat back and looked at their other two friends with a sheepish look as Melanie caught on.

"You guys do like someone or at least probably dating someone, huh?"

"Um, do you guys remember a guy by the name of Chenle is?" Jasmine asked with a nervous laugh as Serena recalled the name. "Isn't he the kid that spilled oil all over the floor whenever we made eggs in Home Economics last year?"

"Yup. That's him. He's the one." Jasmine confirmed with a laugh as Katherine asked a question a second later. "And do you guys remember in the same class a guy named Jaehyun?"

"The one that would always steal pieces of our food whenever we finished cooking it because it was delicious?" Melanie answered as Katherine nodded. 'Yup."

Serena let out a groan before giving the two friends a look. "Y'all wanna do a quadruple date, don't cha?"

"Yeah, but that's not likely to happen since none of you are dating anyone or like someone." Jasmine stated with a pout.

Katherine then looked between Melanie and Serena. "Well, Melanie I'm sure has a crush on someone whereas Serena just hates people and so I don't see her dating anyone any time soon."

"Exactly." Serena agreed with a smile as she closed her book. "Now are we done?"

"Actually," Melanie piped up drawing everyone's attention onto her, "I do like someone, but I don't know if y'all are gonna be happy though."

"It's a Stray Kids member isn't it?" Jasmine and Katherine asked at the same time while Melanie shot them a sheepish smile.

~~~~~~~~~

"So why are we making lunch boxes again?" Katherine questioned as she and the other three were now at Serena's house after going grocery and supplies shopping.

"Because it's the effective way to get a guy to like you." Serena answered with a smirk. "It's not through his heart, but his stomach."

Jasmine looked over at Serena suspiciously. "And how would you know that?"

"From Tiana." Serena chuckled as Melanie rolled her eyes before speaking. "The Princess and the Frog's Tiana?"

"Yup."

"Wow, but what if Felix doesn't like it?" Melanie asked worried.

"Then he's an and you should like someone else." Jasmine suggested as Katherine elbowed her before correcting her words. "I mean, do your best."

"Well, how did you guys get with Chenle and Jaehyun? Did you guys make them lunches, too?"

"Not exactly. I don't really remember, but Jaehyun and I had this group project in English this year and we connected right away." Katherine answered with a smile.

"As for me," Jasmine prompted afterwards, "I actually didn't like him, like him. I thought I liked his friend which I don't recall at all, but it turned out I fell for him after I got to know him through being partners in science class earlier this year."

"Hmm, then y'all can start making lunches for your boyfriends while Melanie learned how to make a confession with one and then she can give it to Felix tomorrow." Serena piped up with glee as she clapped her hands together. "Now, let's get started." Serena said as she instructed the other three on what to do.

"Dude, Serena, seriously. How do you get these things to come out good without ripping and sticking it on easily?" Jasmine muttered in frustration after ripping her design for a cartoon character for the third time.

"Yeah, like how do you have the patience for all of this?" Melanie questioned as she just finished putting on the facial parts for her cartoon character. "This takes way too long to do just for one character. And that's after we cook and make the food, too."

"I think it's pretty cool and quite easy." Katherine stated with a shrug after completing her whole characters and lunch box. "Well I mean, yeah the process to do it is a bit tedious, but you have to make sure the food tastes just as good as creating the whole characters for the lunch."

"Yup. What Katherine said." Serena agreed after completing another lunch box. "If the food doesn't taste good, then the whole design is just wasteful in the end."

Melanie noticed the two mini set compartment boxes. "Who are you planning on giving those to?" She asked while pointing at them. "That's a lot of chicken, too. You don't even eat that much chicken."

Serena shrugged. "No one. I just like making these character boxes." She redirected the conversation to Melanie's box instead. "Anyways, Melanie, are you going to add anything else? You actually have a lot of room to add more."

"Well, obviously."

"Serena. Please help me with his face." Jasmine cried in defeat. "I can't give Chenle an ugly lunch box despite how good the food may taste."

"You're fine, Jasmine." Serena reassured, but still went over to assist her friend. "He should appreciate such a thing, but this is how you get it to work."

~~~~~~~~

It was lunch time and the quartet were near the top of the school where Stray Kids usually hung out as they made the area their little place. Melanie actually entered the area so she could give Felix the lunch she had prepared for him while the other three stood from afar by the door. Jasmine and Katherine were supposed to meet with their boyfriends, but they wanted to be there for their friend first in support. The three friends watched Melanie with anticipation as she neared the group finally getting the attention of the boys.

"Hey, Felix." Melanie directly greeted him as Felix stared blankly at her not moving.

"Yeah, Felix, she's here for you." Hyunjin chuckled as he pushed Felix towards her causing Felix to glared at Hyunjin.

"It looks like she got something for you, too." Minho laughed while wriggling his eyebrows in Melanie's direction.

Melanie ignored the boys' words, but held out the packed lunch anyways in front of her and out towards Felix with a shy, but sweet smile. "I made you a homemade lunch because I like you."

When the other six boys heard that they started to cheer and tease Felix about him having a love confession and the likes. Becoming flustered and acting without actually thinking, Felix just smacked the lunch box out of Melanie's hands as everyone watched the scene before them. Something inside Melanie's tugged at her upon the lunch box crashing to the ground. She stared at the spilled food before looking at Felix.

"You didn't have to do that." Melanie told him with a calm, but angry tone. "You could of just said you didn't like me and not waste the food this way."

The other boys started laughing as they gathered around Felix before saying some things of their own.

"It probably doesn't even taste good, anyways." Changbin stated while looking at the food as Minho agreed before speaking again. "Girls nowadays don't even know how to cook anymore."

"What is that supposed to be?" Jisung asked while giving the characters a weird look. "A bear? A dog? I can't even tell."

"Why is it even blue? Are you trying to poison him?" Hyunjin commented with a disgusted look.

Felix continued to stay silence as he avoided eye-contact with Melanie.

"It was supposed to be Koya the Koala." Melanie answered with a frown. "You guys haven't even tried it so how can you say that? Felix?"

"Because it's a silly and stupid thing that desperate girls do to get a guy's attention." Chan stated with a laugh before continuing. "Next time why don't you ju-Oof"

Chan didn't get to finish his sentence due to Serena tossing her own homemade lunch at him when she moved closer after hearing the words leaving the boys' mouth. Everyone looked at the scene with widened eyes and it was dead silent after that as the group of six weren't aware that there were others around the area.

"How about next time why don't you just find another 'silly, stupid, and desperate' girl who wants to get your attention." Serena directed at him with a mocking tone before tugging on Melanie's hand. "Let's go."

"But, Serena, wait. What about the food and boxes?" Melanie asked in confusion as Serena continued to lead her away while speaking loudly on purpose. "It's not important when it concerns jerks that don't apprecia
