Eight Shots of Espresso | Na Jaemin

Chapter 5

You and Giselle decided to eat dinner on a nearby American style diner. You ordered a three-layered ham and cheese burger, steak with fries, a tall glass of pineapple juice and vanilla ice cream for dessert. You mentally took a note to visit the grocery so you could cook dinner at the dorm.

"How's the first day of being a freshman student?" you asked Giselle as you waited for your order to arrive.

"It was exhausting I swear I could feel wrinkles starting to form on my skin. My professors gave us a lot of homework during the first day. What about you?"

"We're lucky enough that our professors didn't give us any. I also met a lot of people, and I met three pretty girls in my Science class. I'm sure you'll love them."

"I'll meet them when we have free time. By the way, I heard that there were hot guys in your department," Giselle said excitedly.

You instantly thought about Doyoung when you heard the word 'hot'.

"Really? What year?" you asked.

"Duh! First year of course! Not only one, not two, but seven!"

Seven hot guys in your department in the same year? You must be beyond blessed.

"I did meet some handsome guys earlier. Mark has a baby face, Renjun looks like a flower boy, Haechan is also good-looking, Jeno is masculine but cute, and..."

Jaemin.

You couldn't utter his name.

"And?" Giselle asked.

"I forgot the other one," you lied. Perhaps, pretending that you didn't know him would actually help you to forget about him.

Fake it until you make it, they said.

"Girl, you just mentioned four out of the seven hot guys in your department," Giselle said while scrolling through her phone. "The other three are:  Zhong Chenle, I heard he's so rich. The second is Park Jisung, this one is so tall and he's a good dancer. The last one, probably the one with the largest fanbase in NeoU is Na Jaemin."

As expected, Nana.

Your order arrived and you thanked the waitress. You and Giselle quietly dug in for awhile since you're starving. After you filled yourself enough to talk, you continued your conversation.

"They gathered a lot of fans during their first day as a freshman student," you commented. "That's hella impressive. However, I met someone really hot today, also from our department but he's a third year."

"Who is it?" Giselle asked curiously.

You gave her a mischievous smile. "Kim Doyoung, the Vice President of the Student Council."

Giselle's eyes widened. "Girl! You've got taste! Did you know that he's a good singer? Your department is so lucky I swear!"

That only made you admire Doyoung even more. Not only was he responsible, he's also talented. Damn, he's almost perfect.

You finished your dinner and headed back to your dorm where you plopped down on your bed after taking a bath, too exhausted to dry your hair.

The next day, you finally met the other two hot guys from your department, Zhong Chenle and Park Jisung. They were your classmates in Art History and the three of you were groupmates in one activity. All three of you were late so Professor Eunhyuk grouped you three together.

"I'm not good at art," Jisung admitted. He had a surprisingly deep voice, a contrast to his baby face. "But I can help give ideas."

"You literally told us one second ago that we should combine yellow and blue to make orange," Chenle taunted him as he crossed his arms.
