thoughts abt the drama club?

JISUNG
honestly, i kinda like it there. the people there seem to be nice and the projects they do sound cool

CHENLE

JISUNG
i'm so scared to perform on stage IN FRONT OF EVERYONE + i'm not confident enough to act, not even as a tree 😭😭

CHENLE
brooo :(

CHENLE
you know, the drama club might help you boost your self-esteem + fight your fears

CHENLE
ALSOOO you would find new friends (still needs to be approved by me and they have to pass my vibe check. but for now they seem to be cool and nice)

CHENLE
and you don't necassarily need to play anyone!! you can also take over a role only if someone is missing, basically a reserve, or idk help with the customes and stuff

CHENLE
don't feel forced tho, you don't need to join any club if you don't want to

JISUNG

the bell had rung loudly, signalising the end of the school day. the majority of the students packed quickly their supplies into their school bag as they stormed out of the classroom, causing the corridor to be a crowded mess.

nevertheless, jisung packed his things peacefully without stressing himself and left the room quite relaxed. his older friend chenle was already waiting outside for him and greeted him when he had exited the classroom.

"have you already asked your mom?", chenle asked the younger one who nodded. "yup, she gave me the permission", the ash haired boy informed with a shy smile.

"that's great to hear. now let's go", the chinese boy responded with a warm smile as they headed together to the theatre hall.

"chenle?", the younger one started, drawing the attention of the orange haired boy. "hm?", he hummed, waiting for the question.

"have you texted them that we're going to visit them?", chenle shook his head as an answer. jisung stared confusedly at him, asking him why he hadn't done it.

"first at all, i didn't know if we were actually going to them since you had to ask your parents first", the chinese boy explained calmly.

"secondly, let's surprise them! i mean, we have told them to give them a heads-up but that would be lame so let's visit them in surprise!", he continued cheerfully. "okay!", the younger one answered with a little nod before they arrived at the theatre hall.

"i'm so nervous and excited at the same time. but more nervous if i'm honest- lowkey scared", jisung admitted quietly as his hands were slightly trembling.

chenle noticed his behaviour which is why he grabbed one of his friend's hands and held it. "it's going to be okay. i'm here and you're not alone so no need to worry. i won't leave you", the orange haired boy smiled warmly and squeezed lightly his hand as a sign of comfort.

all jisung could do was nod and smile softly at his friend. he was so grateful to have chenle.

back in elementary school, jisung had difficulties in building friendships which is why he was a loner. he felt miserabel as he had the impression of being left out; being a misfit who didn't fit in anywhere.

then one day, chenle came into his life and befriended him. he had always been sociable and friendly to everyone but he chose jisung out of everyone as his best friend.

the chinese boy had always been interested in jisung and wanted to be his friend. since that day, they grew closer and were joined at the hip. they became inseperable.

"chenle? jisung?", a familiar voice said behind them, jisung almost jumped because of the sudden appearance of this person.

they turned around to see who was talking to them. the person was revealed to be jaemin who had several sweets in his hands.

"hi jaemin!", chenle greeted with a big smile. "hello", jisung said quietly, feeling totally socially awkward.

"nice to see you guys but what are you doing here? are you here to see and get to know more about the drama club?", the pink haired boy asked curiously.

"yup, exactly!", chenle answered, resulting the older boy to smile happily. "i will take you to jeno and donghyuck, feel welcomed!", he replied as he led the younger boys through the theatre hall while also showing them around at the same time.
