Roommates | NCT Doyoung

seven

Haechan was walking to class and he spotted Mark and Erin from afar. He pretended to searching something in his backpack, standing at the side of the hallway. He saw that the couple was talking to someone very unfamiliar. She had long black hair and he wasn't able to see her from the back.

Haechan got closer and was able to get a better angle from the other side. Erin looked towards Haechan's way but he quickly hid, making sure Erin didn't see him snoop.

As Haechan took a good look at the girl's face, he first thought that they look similar, getting confused of the girl's features.

Maybe this was the girl Erin was talking about.

Haechan then heard a little bit of the conversation. "... Jeno and Haechan seems like they're not on good terms with you..."

Then it clicked to him after what he overheard Mark said and made a shocking conclusion, unable to believe that it was really her.

"There's no way that Jena's back in Korea and she goes to school with us now. What happened to her and her father in America. I can't believe it. I've got to tell Jeno about this."

After waving goodbye to Gaeun when school ended and watching her leave, boo smile lingered into a bored face, finally done dealing with the girl.

"Why are you here?" Jena walked up next to Doyoung who was standing in the parking lot.

Doyoung turned around facing her, already pissed at her presence. "Why do you care?"

Jena simply shrugged at him not wanting to bother to say anything.

"You should mind your own business." Doyoung proceeded to walk away from the girl to the direction of his care. "We're not even friends anyways. We're just obligated to be together because we're roommates. Don't take it personally."

Jena just scoffed and watch him take his leave. She mimicked his voice. "We're not even friends anyways." She called him stupid in her mind and turned back into the school. She just happened to bump into him while walking about.

Jena had a engineering project to work on and she is not willing to be behind whatsoever. She went to her assigned lap and started her blue print of what she is planning to create. She knew Jungwoo would be staying after too, hitching a ride home from him like usual.

"Doyoung's such a bitch." Jena ranted out, sighing. The words did not go unnoticed by Jungwoo who simply rolled up his blue print and moving himself to Jena's room where her blue print was fully open.

"Sounds like you have gotten inspiration of your project from thinking about your roommate." Jungwoo teased Jena earning a punch on the arm. He rubbed his arm in pain, wincing at it. "Dang, I didn't know you were that strong."

"He's the person I want to worry the least right now. He won't even talk to me, acknowledge me, or even be nice to me. I just feel like he has a 'Jena-existing-problem' syndrome." Jena spat out in bitterness. "I don't even want to be friends with him either."

"He's not that bad." Jungwoo told Jena, trying to reassure her.

"Not has to you." Jena crossed her arms as new ideas came up for her project. "I'm getting back to work."

Doyoung was at Taeyong, Hanseol, Johnny, and Yuta's place, having a casual dinner to catch up. They were sitting at the dining table with Taeyong's dinner menu of American steak, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. The meal filled up all 5 tummies.

"How's your new roommate going?" Johnny asked, initiating the conversation after rubbing his stomach. "Damn I'm so full. I might have a food coma soon."

"Mean, rude, stuck-up, and likes to get into my business." Doyoung plainly commented about how he knew about Jena so far. "Aggressive."

"Sounds like something you would do to make her all those traits." Hanseol added his comment. "Haerin said that she's a pretty good worker at the cafe and she's nice to all the coworkers."

"Yes Taeil, Jena's nice to them, not me." Doyoung emphasized the them so that the boys can fully understand.

"I completely agree with you Doyoung." Yuta spoke up and everyone whipped their head, confused with Yuta's statement. "If she's mean to you then she's mean to you. If she's rude then she's rude. You can do whatever you want, but in the end, it's you're relationship with her. I mean she's not bad from what I've seen but hey man, I believe you."

"Thanks Yuta." Doyoung responded back to his friend, feeling his chest lightened softly.

Taeyong spoke up. "Jena's just cold." Everyone turned their head towards Taeyong as Taeyong took a deep breath. "She's gone through a lot in her life so right now she's having a cold-front. It's pretty hard to get on her good side actually. You meet her she's nice, but she doesn't trust you like that. I mean she likes most of us from what I've seen but I don't think she views anyone as close except for Alice, Jungwoo, and maybe Mark."

"She's friends with Mark?" Yuta raised his eyebrow, invested in the conversation.

Johnny gave Yuta a light punch, pointing out the obvious. "Stupid, she's his cousin. Of course they're buddies."

"Well." Doyoung cleared his throat, all eyes on him. "This doesn't really apply to me so I don't really care. Why are we even talking about her anyways?" Doyoung checked the time, making a suggestion. "Let's play Rock Paper Scissors to see who will do some dishes."

"I want to play some board games too! I haven't played one in so long! All I hear about is Doyoung drinking and fucking stories" Hanseol exclaimed, as the 5 men played the game. Yuta and Taeyong lost so they had to clean up while Johnny, Hanseol, and Doyoung went to the couch to pull some board games from the box.

"Hey!" Doyoung called out. 

"If Jaehyun was here," Johnny pulled out the Jenga box, placing it on the floor. "He's gonna keep talking about it a million times on how much he wants to play that game."

"Yeah and it will probably annoy Alice." Doyoung added as they took out more board games to decide. "I don't even know how Jaehyun got her. It's still a question even till today."

"Are you sure you saw Jena at school today?" Jeno got up from his bed, after hearing Haechan tell his story while sitting on Jeno's gaming chair.

"For the 100th time Jeno, yes I did. How many times do I have to tell you the same thing?" Haechan exclaimed, surprised with the fact that Jeno couldn't believe that his sister Jena was back in Korea.

"Actually wait, let me get Mark." Haechan walked to the door of Jeno's bedroom, peeking his head out. "Milk!"

A couple moments later, Mark came into Jeno's room, slightly pissed that they called Mark while he was doing his homework. "What do you guys want?"

"I heard from Haechan that you were talking to Jena today. Is that true that she's back?" Jeno asked sternly in the tone where shivers were going down on the back.

Mark remained silent for a moment, knowing he won't have a way out even if he lied. He took a breath from his nose. "Yes, I did see Jena today. I didn't know she was back in Korea either. Why is this so important to you, Jeno?"

Jeno was taking aback a little bit by his cousin's question. He looked at Haechan who was silently watching, who also didn't know what to say. Jeno looked back at Mark and gave his response, so that Mark can go back to his room and finish his homework.

"Jena's not relevant in my life anymore so this isn't important to me at all."
