"jeno sweetie... that's a terrible idea."
"mom!"
shaking her head, ms. lee sighed and dialed ms. shin's number. jeno waited at the barstool across from his mother, knee bouncing in anxiety. after a few audible rings, the boy watched a smile spread across the short-haired woman's face. "seri! hello again, dear."
jeno heard ms. shin greet his mom as "gina", which was still weird cause he was used to everyone just calling her ms. lee or jeno's mom.
meeting her son's impatient eyes, gina rolled her own and sighed into the phone. "seri, gaon has been begging me to visit sejin again, but i know how busy you are and wanted to call first." she chuckled at something ms. shin said before nodding. "alright, i'll be sure to drop her off. you know how teenagers are."
knowing he was about to get bullied, the blue-haired boy groaned and stepped off of the stool. "men." his mom spat before jeno reached the stairs, knowing it'd annoy her son.
the boy with blue hair rolled his eyes and shot a glare at ms. lee, who winked back playfully. "love you," she mouthed, and jeno smiled briefly before running up the stairs to get ready.

after getting a text that ms. lee was coming over with gaon, hyerim wasn't surprised when the doorbell rang. she wiped her hands on a towel and stepped away from her brother and the cookie dough they were shaping.
"i'll be right back. please don't eat any raw dough, you know what happened last time." sejin shuddered at the thought and nodded frantically.
the girl smiled at his cute response and jogged towards the door, ready to apologize for making them wait. however, when hyerim opened the door and met the eyes of a boy who looked like a kicked puppy, her smile dropped. not only that but her heart began speeding up.
stop it, heart. i'm still mad at him.
she was quick to paint a fake grin, kneeling towards gaon and gently poking the girl's cheek. "welcome back, gaon. sejin's in the kitchen making cookies. you wanna go help him?" the little girl beamed and jumped in excitement, instantly running off towards her best friend and the cookies.
hyerim was about to turn away when a hand pressed against the wood, stopping her. "don't close the door, please." jeno begged, voice quick and pleasing.
lips forming a tight line, the brunette spun back around to face her soulmate. "what do you want, lee."
ouch. "i wanted to apologize." hyerim watched as he pulled something from his jacket pocket, and she barely fought the smile tugging at her lips when a pack of bandaids appeared. pushing the flutter in her chest down, the brunette subtly cleared her throat. "what's it for?"
