Yoon Jamie

the bell rings that signals everyone that school has ended. i quietly pack my things quickly while jeno on the other side of the room does the same.

lee jeno (he/him): a close friend; a brother

ive been with him through our own ups and downs. i was the one that assured him to audition and join the trainee life. i would cheer him up and take care of him, i was there when he desperately needed someone- and will always be there.

for sure he has guy friends with him when he goes to the company. someone to finally fill in for his 'bro code' rules.

but it saddens me that i will be alone in school for the rest of the year, exactly 5 months. 5 long ass months to fulfill student duties without my buddie jeno lee.

i didnt notice that he was already in front of me. he cooly has his bag swung around his shoulder, he speaks up cutting me off from my emotional state which i do not show.

"heylo! are you ready for some ice cream~" followed by a cute dance

i nod taking my bag from my seat and finally getting out the door, not until the same group of girls decide to block our way. i mean more likely mine, the thought comes back.

oh yeah its the obsessive one-

i try to ignore them and move on with jeno to get ice cream but they move along and block that way aswell.

okay that was petty, gosh

"cmon jamie, just tell us. is he really your brother? if so can i have his number and i wont bother you no more" sooheok casually said while handing me her phone which i decline.

i plaster a fake smile and push back her phone to herself and try to get out of the situation as fast as possible.

jeno that was beside me casually moved to go behind me incase something was to be done to me. it was something we usually do when one is having a confrontation, mostly me tho that guy was an angel.

i wasnt even into trouble, but apparently people like to target me for different reasons, and i as high pride individual does not let go of such things until i lose my patience and certainly this is slowly getting on my nerves.

to my last resort, i finally gave in and spoke up myself. "sorry sooheok, the yoon youre talking about is a very distant relative and we arent close to have each others numbers nor do i have another way to get his number" i continue on walking jeno following quickly

i saw the look on sooheok's face, a face of humiliation and disappointment.
