"look i didn't ask to put up with you guys." yangyang complained, "i was too late to apply for the uni studio rooms so now i'm stuck in a place with no housemaid or chef because apparently it violates the accommodation rules!"
"i'm sorry that's your biggest problem, my problem is that i'm stuck with people i have no interest in being friends with because you're all insufferable!" jaemin yelled back.
"couldn't have said it better." renjun said with a furious smile "you know what? i'm done. i need some air and don't follow me, especially you!"
he pointed furiously to an empty spot.
the others glanced around in confusion.
"who is he talking to..."
jaemin shrugged "i have no idea but doesn't anyone else have the urge to get a guitar and bust a song on the streets with a furry companion."
yangyang flashed him a dirty look as if he was a crazy man. "i wholeheartedly agree with you, my fellow comrade."
with a venomous eye roll, renjun threw his napkin onto the table before exiting the table.
"wait renjun where are you going!" the girl called out to him, watching him storm away in his well-fitted suit.
"leave him be." her best friend grumbled "he doesn't want to be our friend and i just couldn't care less."
"yeah screw him." yangyang agreed, falling silent for a brief moment. "is this round table talking in prophecies or am i hearing this by my lonesome?"
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥
the table fell silent after renjun's storm out and especially after yangs weird rambles. no one was willing to talk to each other but they couldn't afford to leave since they had already ordered their food. everyone apart from yangyang of course who was still attempting to chat up yubin.
he shifted the thousand-dollar chair closer to the girl. the luxurious smell of his cologne surrounding her, forcing them closer together.
"my maiden, what are your thoughts upon men who are to inherit a million doubloon company?" he flashed his cute smile and winked with his slightly reddening eyes.
"umm pretty cool i guess."
this guy is so fucking high she thought to herself
"wonderful, what about men who are not able to slay a spider? not because he cowers before them, it is because he believes every life is precious."
"sorry for the wait, here is your ordered dish." the waiter approached with their arms covered with a variety of plates. with a closer look, there didn't seem to be a single vegetable in sight.
"i see someone has ordered a roast lamb with mint sauce, chicken cordon bleu, oyster rockefeller and lobster thermidor," they informed.
"yes that would be me." yangyang rubbed his hands, excited to eat.
yubin glanced at her best friend, sharing a look. "every life is important huh."
"he can't be serious."
"yubin say aaaah." yangyang turned to his crush, waving his hand which held a spoon full of food. "here comes the horse and carriage!"
yubin watched as the spoon approached closer, meandering in every direction. she had never felt so terrified and she was lost and alone in a forest before.
"i'm worried about renjun!" she shot up abruptly, the chair slowly falling to the ground. "i should go check up on him."
"no, no, a lady should never check." yangyang placed his spoon down. "i shall go check for you madam."
he held his hand out in front of jaemin.
"would you accompany me, fellow gentleman?"
"no."
"as you wish! i shall commence the retrieval of whatever his last name is, renjun!" he announced way too loudly, earning questionable glances from other customers.
yubin buried her head in her hands praying for the ground to swallow her up.
"my lady i shall return to you, alive and ready to ask for your hand in marria–
"i think you should get going." jaemin interrupted, shutting the guy up.
he nodded righteously and bowed deeply to his (well he wishes) maiden. the bow lasted for way too long, around a good three minutes but yubin had a feeling both boys were too high to even notice. she was afraid he fell asleep bowing.
he then revived with a courageous face, staring off to the distance before finally heading off.
once they were left alone, the girl struck her best friend in the arm in fury.
"you dumb ass why did you invite me to this freak show. these guys are nutters!"
"hey in my defense!" jaemin attempted to defend himself. instead he fell silent.
"in your defense what?" she waited for him to finish his sentence.
"what did i say?" he glanced back with a blank face.
yubin threw her face into the palm of her hand. this was going to be a long night. this food better be good.
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥
time passed excruciatingly slow. her stomach growled and the waiter was nowhere in sight. neither were the other boys. it had been around 15 minutes since yangyang had ventured off on his journey to find renjun. either he was lost or doing a shit job in talking him to come back.
"it's been a while, we should go find the others. this place is posh and probably way too complicated to find their way back." she glanced around.
jaemin sighed, hating the idea "why? those guys don't want to be found. and if yangyang really loves you, he'll find his way back."
"first of all ew. second, don't be so mean. i feel like these guys aren't too bad. you guys just need to get over these awkward walls you all put up. i feel like you guys could be at least okay friends. plus they're your flat mates so you have no choice but to get along with them."
he sighed begrudgingly standing up "fine, but i'm not going to like this."
"your pasta sir." the waiter placed a plate of delectable-looking food right before him. the enticing smell trapping him to sit back down. his knees almost buckled.
"don't even think about it. up!"
jaemin groaned in annoyance. "ugh i hate this! i'm not even going to be friends with these guys."
"up!"
"fine! but we better get back before my food gets cold."
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥
yubin adjusted her skirt while she walked down the lucious corridors. the walls were laced with gold and decorated with priceless antique paintings she could find in her grandma's home.
jaemin beside her was playing air guitar and mumbling a song.
she wished her friend was normal and sober. well, he wasn't too normal while sober either.
"they're nowhere to be seen." he stated "we should get back to our foo–
"do you hear that?" yubin stopped in her tracks. she listened carefully to pick up the faint noises.
"nope, i don't hear a thi–
"you prick get off him. get off me!" a voice that sounded just like renjun echoed not so far away.
"see?" she smiled, happy to prove him wrong "let's go, they're probably in danger."
jaemin just wanted to go back to his meal. whilst they searched for his flatmates, all he could think of was the grated cheese melting on his warm pasta. the savoury taste melting on his tongue. instead, he was on a hunt for some dumbasses.
he couldn't care less about them. damn his best friend with her soft heart for strangers.
they hurried after the pitiful sound which led them to an enclosed garden area dedicated to a smoking area in the open air.
in that beautiful area were two people ruining the sight with another unknown company. his chest burned with anger watching renjun and yangyang being flown across the garden. they stumbled in pain with rips in their suits and mud on their faces.
another figure loomed over the two, his broad figure appeared bigger than both combined.
jaemin's hand tightened in a furious fist and stormed off to join the fight with a bellowing shout. (more like a one-sided fight)
"wait min where are you going!" yubin
"i can't let leave them alone. they're my friends!"
"you can't it's–
all logical thoughts left his mind, instead, instincts led him to run to the fight with all his brawling instincts he knew which was just swinging his arms and throwing himself at the enemy.
the two boys ' eyes widened in shock upon seeing the last person they'd ever expect to help them. a warm feeling grew in their heart. they watched in astonishment as jaemin threw lousy hits. despite how pitiful it looked, they just knew it was all for them. every weak uncoordinated punch and weak kick. he did it for them. he was fighting for their friendship.
with the comforting feeling of friendship and acceptance coursing in their veins, the newly founded motivation brought them to their feet. they glanced at each other for a moment and nodded.
their screams echoed in the garden. yubin watched the two boys charge and quite literally dive into the fight.
from her view, the fight was like a scuffle. there were tufts of hair flying, socks, ties and leaves flying into the air. blurs of hands and arms swinging at their shared energy.
yubin blinked blankly.
"i'm never hanging out with these people ever again."

the sound of shoes squeaking against the floor and grunts from the boys filled the garden.
yubin watched the boys fight themselves. they strangled themself with the plant leaves, forcefully tugging their ties, their punches missing the plant by miles and pulling their underwear to places it should not be able to reach.
"this better wear off soon."
