chapter 17

It was another morning. Hyunsuk was thinking how would he make Jaehyuk leave the mansion for a while. He remembered that Jaehyuk really loves banana milk so he would do anything to have it. Hyunsuk forgot to bring his books from the locker so it would be a perfect plan if he can make Jaehyuk agree to get it in trade for a two-week supply of banana milk. Hyunsuk was among the first ones to get up in the morning along with Asahi, Yedam and Jihoon. He saw Jaehyuk downstairs, in the kitchen probably looking for a banana milk.

"Jaehyuk, what are you looking for? You woke up early this day." Hyunsuk said while pulling a chair for him to sit.

"I'm looking for my banana milk, hyung. I just bought it yesterday but I can't see it anywhere and I woke up early so I could practice for the performance early also." Hyunsuk saw Junghwan looking for a drink yesterday before they went back to their rooms upstairs so he guessed he might be the one to drink it.

"Junghwanie must've drank it."

"Oh... really hyung? That's okay, I guess, I'll buy later anyways. I'll be heading to practice now hyung. I'll have breakfast later." Before Jaehyuk could leave, Hyunsuk said something that uplifted his mood.

"Jaehyuk, here's a deal. I'll supply you two weeks of banana milk if you agree to get my books from my locker. I forgot to get it yesterday and... I need it because I have a quiz on Monday." Hyunsuk doesn't not really need his books but it's the only thing he can think of as of the moment to make Jaehyuk leave the mansion for a while, but it's not enough because he might be back soon so Hyunsuk should think more.

"Sure hyung. I'd go get it for you. Just tell me the passcode and your locker number. I'd agree even if there's no banana milk exchange, but I love banana milk so I'd like to take the offer." Hyunsuk thanked that Jaehyuk did not ask him more questions.

"Don't forget to eat breakfast on the way, alright?" Hyunsuk also explained to him that he has somewhere to go to that's why he can't get his books by himself. He told him his locker number and pass code. Jaehyuk tilted his head, questioning why his hyung requested him for this thing because Hyunsuk is not the type to ask for someone's help except if it's really hard to do. He thought that where he may go might be really important, he got curious where he might be going. Hyunsuk told him that they will have time to practice later so that Jaehyuk doesn't need to worry. Because it's still early in the morning, Jaehyuk decided to just jog on the way to school, also hoping that there might be banana milk on the convenience stores he might see on the way.

Hyunsuk rushed upstairs to go to Jihoon's room to tell him to wake the others up, good thing Jihoon already has a shirt on since he always sleeps shirtless. Hyunsuk remembered that one time when he saw Jihoon sleeping shirtless when they used to live with their former members, and he really wanted to forget that, well maybe just some parts of it.

Yedam and Asahi who were already awake, woke others up also. Asahi was surprised to see Jeongwoo on Jaehyuk's bed but he woke him up also. All of them gathered quickly in the hallway out of their rooms, Junkyu was really sleepy but he has no time to go back to bed now. Hyunsuk told them that Jaehyuk might be back anytime so two of them must be with Jaehyuk so that he can't go back home yet and to keep him company.

All of them started preparing to go to the mall because they have not bought anything yet. Asahi started to get nervous as time goes by because he doesn't know what to say or what to do if he'll talk with Jaehyuk later. He set aside the thought and focused on what they're going to do now. They arrived at the mall in a shorter time than usual after Jihoon told their driver to drive fastly since the road was still clear because it's early in the morning.
