Yejin's POV

Classes finally resumed on Monday. Nanny came over again earlier to cook me breakfast. "Maybe I'll be visiting you often, since you're gonna move back to the mansion this week." I almost spilled the water I'm drinking.

I almost forgot about that. I coughed and nodded. "You're staying back in the mansion?" I asked. Nanny shook her head. "You know I have three kids, Yejin, but I'll come with you just to check on you. By the way, Soyeon would just stay in the mansion for two weeks. "

I pouted. "That's not fair." My phone suddenly buzzed beside my bowl. I picked it up and answered the call. "Yeobeosello?"

"What does that mean?" My eyes widened. "Soyeon unnie?" She replied with a chuckle. "None another than your pretty sister. Are you excited for my return?"

"Duh. But I find it unfair that you're just gonna stay around for two weeks." I said. "I have to, Yejin. I'm just gonna stay there because of our business and because you miss me." She laughed.

"You seriously know my weak spot."

"Of course. By the way, I'll have my flight later. I'll arrive tomorrow morning. Prepare to pack up after school. See ya later. Bye!" I looked ridiculously at my phone when she dropped the call.

"She dropped the call? On me? Me??" I asked unbelievably. I rolled my eyes and placed back my phone on the table. I stood up and wore my bag that was sitting on the other chair. "I'm heading to school now, Nanny!"

"Take care, Yejin!" She replied. "Always." I replied and closed my apartment's door before walking to school. When I entered the campus, I passed by Jay.

"Hey, Jay!" He looked at me and we both high-fived. "I thought you forgot about me, Jewin and Teyong. We were your first friends, Yejin." He ugly-cried.

I rolled my eyes and hit his back. "It's not like that. Haechan kept on dragging me to his group of friends," I said and nudged him. "By the way, where's your pick-up line notebook? Didn't hear of it for days."

"That's the problem. It's lost." I sighed. "Oh, thank God." I flinched when Kobe and Teyong just appeared in front of us. Kobe is one of Jay's friends. "Bruh, she said 'thank God'." Kobe laughed.

We continued walking to our room as I talked. "Jay said to me 'are you wine?' and I replied 'because as time passes by, you get tastier' and his response was a 'ey, she knows'." Jay laughed awkwardly while Kobe and Teyong laughed their asses off.

Younghee was in our way and she greeted us. "Morning. What are you guys talking about?" I didn't mind her and continued. "He even have a pick-up line that says 'are you a denture? Because I can't smile without you'."

Younghee smacked Jay's back. "You can still smile without dentures!" She insisted but the two boys still laughed. Jay tapped Kobe's arm. "Kob, Kob. Close your eyes." Kobe raised a brow in the most sassy way possible.

"What if I don't?" He snapped and we laughed at his sass. "Just do it." Jay insisted.

"Nah."

"Kobe, please."

"Nope." Kobe walked behind Teyong and since I was beside Jay, he targeted me. "Yejin, close your eyes." I gave him a look. "No."

"Please, just this once."

"Just pretend I was closing my eyes." I said. He rolled his eyes and sighed. "Fine. What would you see?"

"Nothing." I replied, while Kobe said, "Stars." I looked at him and agreed. "There are like some glitters." He nodded. "Sparkles."

"Let's continue. What would you see?"

"Nothing." I repeated. "Why wouldn't you see anything?" He asked, which is the most stupid question I heard in my entire life. "Stupid. Because she closed her eyes!" Kobe responded and we broke into howls of laughter. "Kobe's right! You're so stupid, Jay!" Younghee said.

We went in our homeroom and stopped laughing when we saw Mr. Seo in his desk, reading a book and ready to write on the board. We went to our seats immediately and of course, I saw Haechan.. because he's my seatmate, obviously.

By the time I sat down beside him, he whispered, "What were you guys laughing about? Y'all aren't talking about me, aren't ya?" I snorted. "Of course not. And why would we talk about you? Do you have something that interests us?"

"You could tell them we did it." I smacked his back. "Fuck you."

Later at lunch, I was walking to the cafeteria with Younghee, Maeyoung, Yan-ne and Kira when someone-and by this someone, I mean Haechan-dragged me away from my friends.

"It's okay, Mi! Have some lone time with Di!" Maeyoung shouted and ran towards the cafeteria with the other girls. I rolled my eyes and removed my hand from Haechan's. "Look what you did. I barely spend time with them already."

Jaemin patted my back. "It's okay, Yejin. You're friends with Jay, then you can be friends with us, too. We're more handsome, anyway." I want to roll my eyes but it's the truth.

"But you guys aren't perverts. They are, and I am. Same minds think and talk alike. We're dirty-minded." I said, pointing at me and the air, which would be Jay, Teyong, Jewin and Kobe.

Mark clapped once. "We are, too!" I rolled my eyes. "Whatever." I looked behind and saw that someone was missing. I counted them and there were only six of them. "There's someone that's missing." I mumbled.

Jisung nodded. "Yep." I snapped my fingers. "Renjun. Where is he? Doesn't he always walk with you guys?" I asked. They all replied with a shrug. "Jeno and Renjun's in the same class, but he didn't come with Jeno."

"I wonder why." Jeno muttered. "He's been mute all day, too," Chenle spoke up. "I tried to talk to him but his replies were short. Something's gotta be bothering him." He added.

I nodded. "Y'all better ask him properly or I'll smack your asses." Mark smirked. "As if you can." He said in a boastful voice. "Oh, hell I can. You think I can't touch guys' asses?"

"Try."

I slipped my palm on Jaemin's ass and walked away like nothing happened. "Oh my God, she did that." I heard Jeno say. I chuckled and walked to the cafeteria, leaving them together.
