"I can't do this anymore!"

"... Okay." Rou stared at me nonchalantly as she took a sip of her chocolate milkshake.

"Wait, what?" I raised a brow. "Did you hear me? I said I can't do this anymore!"

"Yeah. Heard you the first time." She shrugged.

"... So... You don't mind if we stop acting?" My eyes widened by a fraction. "So I can tell Renjun about what's been going on all along?!"

"Be my guest."

I immediately ran out of the ice cream shop before realizing that I have no clue where he was. I pressed my lips into a thin line, then walked back into the shop.

"Back so soon?" Rou raised a brow.

"I don't know where he is." I sighed, sitting down across her.

"You're so hyped to tell him this." She scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Why?"

"I-I don't know..." I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "I just am..."

"... You like him, don't you?"

"... I don't know..."

Rou raised a brow as she stared at me.

"You are exactly like every other comrade my other cousins bring." She scoffed. "When I ask about their feelings, they say the exact same thing with the exact same tone."

"I mean... It's a bit complicated..." I murmured. "There's Renjun, Jeno, Jaemin, Yangyang, and Shotaro."

"Uh..." Rou furrowed her brows. "Aren't you forgetting someone?"

"I am?"

"... Lee Donghyuck?"

"... I don't know anymore..." I sighed, averting my gaze somewhere else.

"... Wow, you go, you hoe." Rou commented before taking a sip from her drink.

"What did you just call me?" I immediately stared at her, raising a brow.

"A hoe?" She repeated. "What else?"

"... I would argue, but I think you kinda got a point."

"I always do."

"No you don't." I argued.

"Ah... Love makes you so blind." Rou sighed, smiling sarcastically at me.

"Puh-lease!" I scoffed. "Don't act like you making out with Yukhei never happened-"

"Yes, we are going to pretend like that never happened." She interrupted me.

"... Riiight..."

"Anyways," Rou clasped her hands together. "I need you to do me a little favor before telling Renjun anything..."

I was rumaging through my locker, when someone hit my head from behind.

"Yah! What the—"

"I'm baaack..."

I turned around, about to hit whoever that was, but then realized it was Renjun.

"Geez Injoonie..." I grumbled, rolling my eyes. "What do you want?"

"I was wondering if you could come with me to the ramen house after school?" He asked.

"... Weren't you sick the other day?" I raised a brow. "And... Why me?"

"Well, yeah, I was sick, but Rou said she won't be home to make me food, and told me to go to this one healthy ramen shop instead..." He answered. "As for your second question... Why not?"
