ch. 2

The ballroom lit up the moment you took Renjun's hand and suddenly it was as if time and space had shifted and you were somehow at a lost at where you were now.

Chenle smiled smugly when you took turns staring at them dumbfoundedly but Renjun gave your hand a reassuring squeeze and gave you a gentle smile.

"Thank you for the trust." He said,almost shyly as he glanced briefly at the hand holding yours.

Chenle came around to scoff before nudging Renjun on the shoulder.

"You think we can call the others now?"

Renjun seemed conflicted then but nodded his head nonetheless before returning his attention back to you.

"It's okay. Just keep holding my hand and if you get uncomfortable, all you have to do is give me a quick squeeze and we'll be gone."

"Gone?" You said. Renjun nodded his head but it was Chenle who began explaining.

"It's like that. We can't get you to come with us if you don't give us your consent,which means we can't get you to stay either if you don't want to,but you know," Chenle shrugged nonchalantly then continued, "We don't have much of a good sense on time so having something to tell us is a must", he then pointed to Renjun with a cheeky smile, "He's your time buzzer is what I meant, so if you don't want to stay anymore, you use him to signal us."

Your head was spinning. None of that made any actual sense nor did it answer the questions swirling in your mind, but then again, you had a feeling that bombarding them with endless questions wouldn't help either, so you opted to nod your head slowly snd inched closer to Renjun.

"Are you ghosts?" You asked,carefully and as soft as you could,scared that the question might offend them, but to your surprise neither one seemed bothered.

"We are." Renjun answered, "Does that make us scarier to you?"

You thought for a while then shook your head.

"That's good." Renjun said while smiling, earning a small smile from you as well.

"Are you two done now?"

The voice that spoke up then was loud and seemed annoyed but in front of you was still just Renjun and Chenle. And then you remembered Chenle asking if the others could come by earlier.

While you were still confused, Renjun rolled his eyes.

"Yeah,we are. You guys can come out now. Just, don't be too much."

"How much is too much,exactly?" The third voice came again, this time more playful and teasing. "Cause if you're not being severely specific,I'm going to take it as a not so severe act of order."

"Just don't do anything stupid,Lee Haechan."

There was a laugh after Renjun's harsh comment and then with a blink of an eye, you suddenly saw three new boys before you.

The one that had a sort of dirty brown hair colour, smugged cheekily at Renjun before he looked at you and let out a somewhat impressed sound.

"Wah,daebak. You're pretty."

The sudden words had you flushed up immediately. Your lips pressed together thinly as you tried not to seem so flustered. Though, it was a poor attempt as the boy you assumed was 'Haechan' smirked.

"Aw,she's blushing." He then nudged the boy beside him, the one with black short hair, and added rather coyly, "I think she likes me,Hyung."

"Ugh,don't be so full of yourself, Haechan." Renjun retorted, "You're going to look stuffed like those fish buns Jisung likes so much."
