her head hurt more than it should've: it was obviously due to the minor precipitation of tears last night, but she hadn't expected the dull ache to be so... incessant.

honestly, heloise wanted to cheer herself up. she didn't want to be sad forever or mourn rivers for a person who wouldn't do the same for her. it was what it was.

what she needed to do now was...

go to jaemin's room and spy on him and jeno sleeping.

well that and to form a plan on how she could get out of charges of manslaughter, arson, and kidnapping. but one of those was more important, the former.

she half-skipped towards the room along the narrow corridor: being sure to tread carefully as not to wake everyone up.

when she got to the room, she almost screeched. the two boys were lying on the bed, almost definitely not as far away from each other as they were when she left. their arms and legs were tangled together and jaemin had his head tucked under jeno's chin.

she was only the slightest bit jealous, only the slightest.

despite her greenness though, she took pictures, multiple before realising her flash had been on the whole time and the two boys had long since woken up.

and a squeal from behind her indicated that they were not the only ones awake.

renjun stood behind her and looked through the pictures on her camera roll. comparing it to the two boys who were now much more separated beings, he clapped his hands together excitedly.

"oh my god, ship nomin for lifers."
"i personally the ship name nojaem is better, since they're both as unfunny as each other."

"no that's not true, jeno is hilarious."

"of course, you'd defend your man."

heloise's cheeks radiated a deep rouge in a matter of seconds. he wasn't her man. he was a man, a man that she treasured and cared for and slightly loved far too much, but he wasn't hers.

to avoid the topic and hide her glowing face, she dipped down onto the bed: "i want to join you two, it looks warm there."

but just as she neared, the two of them jumped out at once – exiting from either side. leaving heloise just laying there on her stomach by herself.

"mean of you guys." her voice was slightly muffled by the mattress.

she had managed to lay directly on the left side, which was incidentally the side jeno had slept on. "it smells like jeno. the bed."

the girl inhaled deeply. his scent was probably what the fountains of heaven smelt like, if not then the clouds upon entering the gates to paradise. just anything ethereal.

"what about jaemin?," the younger male complained in third person, "what about it smells like jaemin? it's my fucking bed after all."

"she clearly doesn't like you, jaem, better luck next time." renjun patted his back.

"yeah, i don't like you, i like jeno."

the two hopped from foot to foot at her unknowing confession. jaemin noticed renjun being to proactive with his hopping and was there to step in to calm him down by stepping on the older's feet. but the older didn't seem to understand and stood on jaemin's feet in return. and a cycle began of them just standing on one another's feet.

which would only ever end in someone falling over.

it could've been an amazing fairytale moment where the random knight in shining armour comes to save the distressed princess from stumbling to her imminent doom. the knight came of course, but inevitably got squished.

jaemin stood looking at the tangle of bodies as the other two tried to free themselves from whatever renjun had caused. the former clicked his tongue.
"why are you two always so loud?"

"what do you mean?" donghyuck asked, finally dislodging his arm that was stuck under the oldest's body.

"you're always so loud, like now, last night, a few nights before now."

donghyuck's eye grew wide as he clutched his heart, choking a little. "i- we- we didn't- no- what- we- i- you're just- don't- oh god, i really fucking hate you."

"to be honest, i fell asleep pretty quickly, so i wasn't entirely sure. but your reaction tells me all i need to know."

renjun shrugged, playing with his hair before saying,

"oh well, he was talking too much about his ex, i had to shut him up somehow."
