𖤈 Chapter Fifty-Seven: What Type?

"Holy shit, you guys finally made it official!" Hakim rolls his eyes and covers Amy's mouth with his palm.

The girl's squeal turns muffled before she starts whining, trying to get rid of the hand that's covering her mouth.

Meanwhile, Patrine pats Jaemin on the back and smiles. "Finally gained the guts to do it, huh?" She teases that successfully made Jaemin blush in embarrassment.

Okay... maybe Jaemin has been secretly asking Patrine for advices this whole time since they began to befriend each other.

He couldn't really ask Amy, since she can be a blabbermouth and he didn't want to risk her accidentally spilling to Jeno about his plans.

Besides, like Jeno said before to which Jaemin obviously kept in mind; Patrine is the closest to him. Because she was the first person to truly understood him.

And now they are gathered here, at Hakim's place.

Initially they wanted to study for a bit, but soon Jaemin and Jeno announced their relationship to the others after they finished studying.

Of course the others are being supportive about it, hence why Amy's practically bouncing on her seat.

Hakim shares a fist bump with Jaemin and ruffles Jeno's hair afterwards, "how much do you guys wanna bet when will everyone else find out?" He gestures to the two girls.

Amy was the first one to jump in and replies, "20 bucks, I bet you it will be in three days." Her eyes practically sparkle in excitement.

Jaemin laughs as Patrine shakes her head, "tomorrow. A lot of people are nosy, not just the gossipers, but just anyone who can't shut their ears and mouths." She crosses her arms.

"You know rumors spread like wild fire there, even a small glimpse of Jaemin and Jeno holding hands can light that place up." Shrugging her shoulders in nonchalance.

"Probably burn it to the ground if they could." Jeno murmurs in agreement beside Jaemin, leaning in to his side as he closes the book he was initially reading.

Patrine makes a face that shows off "I told you so, see?" And gestures her hands to the brunet boy.

Hakim hums and takes out 20 bucks from his wallet, "winner gets these. Plus gets to host the next party." He waves the money in his grasp.

"I'm not playing because I lost the last bet." He announces.

Jaemin raises a brow at him before chuckling, "wouldn't you lose money anyway?" He points out matter-of-a-factly.

Hakim blinks and then groans, "dammit! I shouldn't have opened my wallet or started this bet."

Clicking his tongue, he takes the last chip on the plate and points at his girlfriend, "whatever, I'm with Patrine so Amy has to double her payment."

"I'll prove you guys wrong!" Amy seems to be too stubborn in this bet. It actually amuses the others, even Jaemin.

Patrine only sighs before saying, "trust me, once you enter the school tomorrow. Everyone's gossiping about these two." She gestures to the new couple with them.
