10 : Lemon Detox- I mean, Lemonade

• Park Jiyeong •

The following day, I went to school, bringing Renjun's jacket, which I washed last night.

"Heyyy! Yeongie!" Jeno greeted me, followed by Jaemin.

"Hi!" I smiled at them. "Uh, have you guys seen Renjun?"

"No, don't think so." Jeno shrugged before his gaze averted to the jacket I was bringing. "Is that... Renjun's?"

"Uh... Yeah..." I looked at it. "Why?"

"N-nothing..." Jeno looked away. "He doesn't normally do that, so... Yeah..."

I furrowed my brows at Jeno's statement, but shrugged it off. Jeno, Jaemin, and I went to class and just talked, Yangyang joining in a bit later when he arrived.

"School is starting in fifteen minutes..." Jeno mumbled as he glanced at the clock. "It's so unlike Renjun to show up a few minutes before class..."

As if on cue, we heard some students start to whisper things. I looked to my left and saw Renjun walking towards us, wearing a black face mask.

"Yah. Injoonie." Jaemin greeted the male. "What happened?"

"Nothing... I'm fine..." Renjun shook his head. "Just a bit tired... That's all..."

"You look pale." Jeno pointed out. "Are you sure you're not sick?"

"I'm fine." Renjun insisted, putting his bag in his locker. I looked at him, then at the jacket I was holding.

"Renjun..." I called out before handing him the jacket.

"Oh... Thanks..." Renjun mumbled before accepting it and putting it on.

"So, uh... See you later?" Jeno raised a brow. "School's starting soon."

"Yeah... Later..." Renjun nodded. Jeno gave the male a smile as he pat his back. He then walked towards Yangyang and pulled him closer.

"Look after him for me." Jeno whispered in his ear. "Tell me if anything happens."

"I will." Yangyang nodded once they pulled away. Jeno nodded back before glancing at me and Jaemin, signaling us to get to class.

"Are you gonna tell me what's up with you and your unusualness today?" Yangyang asked as we sat down beside each other.

"Well, how am I supposed to know what's up with me?" I huffed, holding my head in my hand. "Like, I think I'm just tired— What the hell are you doing?"

Yangyang felt my forehead, then used his free hand to feel his own forehead.

"You're hot..." He mumbled as he shoved his hands into his pocket. I stayed silent before thinking about his words again, furrowing my brows. Yangyang stared at me cluelessly before realizing what he said. "I-I mean your forehead is hot— Shit, no, wait. That's not it, uhh—"

"You mean I'm burning up or something...?"

"Yes! Yes, that's it!" He snapped his fingers. "You're burning up!"

I did what Yangyang did, feeling our foreheads, to find that I was indeed burning up.

"Shit, you're right..." I mumbled before stuffing my hands in my pockets.

"A fever, maybe?" He suggested.

"I don't... Normally... Get fevers..." I squinted my eyes a bit, trying to remember the last time I got a fever.

"Well then, this might be the first one in a while. The start of a new fever revolution or something." He scoffed. "What did you do yesterday?"

"I... Went to get boba with Jiyeong... Then when we went home, it rained..." I mumbled. "Then I gave her my jacket..."
