Jisung did keep his promise of hugging Chaewon. And of course it had to be in front of Chenle, multiple times. He even slipped a few kisses here and there.
"Can he understand what we say?" Chaewon asked.
"A bit? I'm not sure."
"You said you speak Chinese. Can you tell him I asked how he is."
Jisung gulped and looked to Chenle.
"How a-are you?"
"You said it weirdly, it's pronounced like 'how are you?'"
Jisung turned back at Chaewon, "He said he's feeling okay, he also asked how you were."
"Good." Chaewon said to Chenle throwing up a thumbs up.
Chenle nodded, a straight bitchy face still painted on his face.
"Sorry, he's a bit shy. New country different language y'know."
"It's fine, I'm sure he doesn't intend to offend or insult me."
"I definitely do."
"What did he say?"
"Nothing important, just talking to himself. Wanna move to my room?"
Chaewon cleared her throat and looked at Chenle, "Sure."

"Donghyuck."
"Yes?" Haechan looked up from his phone.
"I think... Never mind."
"What?"
"No, don't worry about it."
"Are you sure?"
Silence filled the room, Renjun thought hard.
"No..."
"Then tell me." Haechan laughed softly.
"Hyuck, I think I like you. A lot."
"You do?"
"Don't make me say it again. That's cruel." Renjun whined.
Haechan scratched his neck, "I'm a bit shocked."
"Why? You don't like me back don't you?"
"No no! I do like you. I'm just confused why you would like someone like me."
"What's wrong with you."
"A lot, I definitely am a bit of a handful." Haechan giggled.
"Still love you." Renjun approached Haechan laying on the bed.
"So.. Boyfriends?"
"Boyfriends." Renjun reassured, kissing him on the forehead.
"What made you want to confess now out of all times?"
"I saw how Chenle was suffering having to put up with his crush being with someone else and I wasn't taking any chances to end up in that same position," Renjun took his socks off. "Can you make space for me to lay down?"
Haechan moved to the side and exhaled, "So Jisung did end up getting with the girl."
"Yeah," Renjun joined Haechan in his bed, "If I'm being real he'll end up scaring her away when she sees how he really is."
"Don't make fun of him like that. That's my thing." Haechan nudged Renjun.
"It's true. She's gonna run for her life."
