meeting:14

"So things are better now right?" Chenle spoke up, as they all headed to the main lobby, minus Mark and Jeno. The latter had left to the council student meeting room to retrieve some of his stuff. "I don't really think it is..." Minseo trailed off, eyes wandering around. It felt weird when there's no glares directed towards her. "Look at the bright side. Maybe a peaceful college year?" Jaemin said with a smile. But it drop as soon as a bunch of girls approach them.

"God what now." Donghyuck groaned, rolling his eyes. They all stared at the girls silently until one of them spoke up. "We would like to apologize for not including you all this time." Minseo raised a brow, weirded out by the absurd apology. "Uhhh, it's okay I guess?" She replied, sounding unsure and uncomfortable with the amount of people surrounding them. The leader girl flashed a smile which was a bit too wide to their opinion.

"Great! We don't want to have bad blood with anyone." The other five girls nodded viciously, agreeing. Renjun nudged at the person beside him. "What's with them?" Jaemin shrugged as he look at the unfamiliar group questioningly, observing their body language. Some of them are a bit too jumpy, and his instincts are saying its not in a good way.

"So anyways.." The leader girl trailed off, glancing at her group before continuing. "You're actually Mark's sister right?" Minseo raised both of her brows, looking unimpressed as she had an idea where this is going. "Yes I am. Why?" The leader girl who Minseo didn't bother to remember her name anymore clapped both of her hands excitedly as she tried to get herself nearer to Minseo. Which just make the latter frown in disapproval.

"So what does Mark prefer? Ass or breast?" Jaemin spat out the coffee he just drank, coughing harshly while Renjun patted his back. Jisung and Chenle gaped at how shameless she was. "Definitely didn't pass the vibe check." Donghyuck mumbled, giving her the stank eye. Minseo blinked a few times before answering. "Pa-pardon?" She asked, looking appalled as she was in disbelief what she just heard. The girl giggled, lightly slapping Minseo's arm.

"Just asking, who knows you might know. Although I do have both." Minseo did all she could to not look at her with disgust, faking a polite smile while slightly nodding. "Sorry I don't know about that." She said politely, despite feeling even more creeped out. The girl pouted, which Minseo found a bit exaggerated. "Thats a shame. But its fine. Do you have time after class though?"

Minseo didn't have the time to answer when the girl continued to blabber. "You can have coffee with us while discussing how you are going to help me to be Mark's girlfriend." Minseo couldn't help but give her the side-eye. "Why should I?" The girl paused before giving her a kind of menacing smile, which slightly amuse Minseo to see her attempt to be intimidating.

"Because you are his sister. Of course he's gonna listen to you." She reasoned, which doesn't make sense to any of The Dreamies and even Minseo. "His decision to date whoever is up to him. Not me." Minseo explained calmly. The girl shove her face to the other, giving Minseo what she thought is her cutest face, which only cause Renjun to gag. "Please, do it for your favorite person?" Minseo gave her a weird glance, feeling a bit lightheaded. 'Since when did she became my favourite I don't even know her.' She thought, holding back the urge to throw up.

"Hey guys sorry for taking so long- What's with the crowd?" They all turned to Jeno's direction, the said male looking confused as he headed towards his girlfriend's side. Minseo heaved a sigh in relief when Jeno pulled her gently to his side, creating enough space between her and the other girl. Being closer to the latter only made Minseo nauseous, and she knew thats not a good sign.

"Its nothing really. We just want to know more about my future sister-in-law." The Dreamies gave her weird looks when she wrapped her hands around Minseo's arm. While Minseo felt even more dizzy, rubbing her temples with her free hand. Jeno notice that and how she seems like she's panting. Worry overcome him as he freed her arm that was hold captive by the unwanted guest. He then pressed her back to his chest before wrapping his arms around her, resting his head on her shoulder.

"Hey are you okay?" Minseo opened her mouth, trying to answer his question but it feels like her words are stuck in her throat. Her clammy hands gripped on his sleeve, trying to steady her erratic heartbeat. Jeno look at her with concern, concluding she is not well. "Well looks like class is gonna start soon. We all better keep going." He said, trying to escape the fangirls. "But we just got started to warm up to each other!" One of the girls protest, finally speaking up.

"Yeah warm up my ass. She looks like she's at the verge of fainting." A voice cut them off, while the owner of the voice approach Minseo's side. The leader girl narrowed her eyes at the newcomer. "This ain't your business Ara." Ara raised a brow at that. "She's my friend of course its my business." She retorted, taking The Dreamies and Minseo away from them.

Chenle heaved a sigh of relief. "Thanks Ara." Ara waved his hand dismissively. "Its nothing." Jeno smiled thankfully at her before shifting back his attention to Minseo. "Your social anxiety was acting up wasn't it?" Minseo wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, letting out a shaky yes in response. She mananged to calm down her irregular breathing before taking out a few pills from her bag and swallow it.

"How do you usually keep it down especially when doing a presentation?" Jisung asked curiously. Because as far as he knows, social anxiety could be triggered at those times too. "Swallow it down and pretend I dont wanna yeet myself out of the class because I'm afraid they'll judge me. I dont want to risk my grades you know." Minseo said, chugging down the water from Jaemin's tumblr. "Besides I could control myself better now."

"But you couldn't just now." Donghyuck pointed out. "She can't help it does she now?" Ara snapped, glaring at the male who fought back her piercing glare. "Yeah Ara is right. I felt overwhelmed so that happened. But for real those girls were weird and creepy, especially the leader." Minseo said, shuddering.

"Suddenly being isolated doesn't seem that bad huh?" Renjun mocked, snickering. Minseo rolled her eyes hearing that. "Having peace and quiet is one of the reason I didn't mind them excluding me. Being a part of them is just gonna give me a headache." She retorted.

"You didn't lie one bit." Ara agreed.
