Roommates | NCT Doyoung

twenty four

"I want nothing to do with Jena." Doyoung took his 12th shot of soju while the other guys were wasted too, except for Jaehyun and Johnny who had high tolerances. Taeyong was dead on the couch so he knows nothing.

"Why? I thought you were getting to know her better? Was it because you railed her?" Yuta leaned in closer to Doyoung who was trying to hold his expression despite being drunk. "Oh, you definitely did."

It wasn't a surprise to any of them that Doyoung and Jena did it on multiple occasions. At the same time they weren't surprised that he didn't want to do with her, seeing the habits that Doyoung made. What was different though was that he stopped going to the bars after meeting Jena.

"Shut up Yuta, that's none of your business." Doyoung scowled at him taking his 13th shot of soju. "She's just going to get hurt, just like Eunjin."

"How do you know that?" Johnny asked Doyoung who was pouring his 14th shot. He let Doyoung take the last shot and pulled the alcohol away from him. "That's enough for the night Doyoung."

"Because I always have bad experiences anyways so what's the point?" Doyoung retorted back.

"So you're a coward is what you're telling us?" Jaehyun let out a smirk at Doyoung. Doyoung crossed his arms and gave Jaehyun a disgusted face.

"I am not." Doyoung fought back, knowing that Jaehyun just hit the spot. 

"You are." Jaehyun tested his limits more. "You haven't even tried to get Jena and you're already assuming she's going to end up like Eunjin. Hold onto Jena this time, it's not that hard. She likes you too you know. It's quite obvious."

"I don't wanna lose her..." Doyoung slowly got emotional knowing that Jaehyun has a point. He was worried that it was going to be one depressing cycle again. "She's too precious to date someone like me."

"You drove her away." Yuta pinned in looking at the younger friend. "Get her back before Song Minjae does. That guy is still around." Yuta added a joke unconsciously, which pissed Doyoung off with him letting out a sudden grunt. 

"I will not let Jena get into the hands of Song Minjae." Doyoung growled as he was getting pissed, slamming the table. "I would end him if I have to."

"So tell us Doyoung, are you in love with Jena?" Johnny cocked an eyebrow as he made eye contact with Jaehyun.

Doyoung's eyes started to close slowly as he was going to pass out from drinking. "I...I.......I do....."

Johnny and Jaehyun expected the answer to come out of Doyoung. Now their problem was are 4 passed out guys in which Yuta just passed out and how to convince Doyoung to get the balls to confess his love for Jena before they grew apart even more.

"Sometimes, I wonder why their tolerance is so weak." Johnny commented, taking another shot with Jaehyun who also looked sober for the most part. He just shrugged. 

"Honestly, I think it's the genetics sometimes. It's the worst when Alice drinks." Jaehyun chuckled at Johnny finding how cute and crazy his girlfriend Alice is when she is drunk.

"She's the same person but it's 2 times more crazier."

Jena's cheek was slapped by Gaeun in the middle of the hallway, no one was around. She was in the middle of minding her own business until Gaeun showed up out of nowhere to ruin her day. "You took my man and what? Now try to accuse me to ruin your stupid little project? Why would I do such a thing? I would rather focus on myself than whatever you little dilly dally was." 

Jena growled at her, grabbing her shirt. She had enough of this bullshit, enough with how of a snake Korean women are. She was tired and honestly she couldn't care less if she got in trouble. It was no more playing nice. "How nice of you to assume that I accused you. And about your man? He's not yours more but at least he's spiraling with better women than you." 

"Are you saying that you're one of them? I can't believe you're trying to lower his standards." Gaeun's cunning statement got Jena pushing her against the lockers aggressively. "Touch me one more time and you're doomed Gaeun."

Gaeun rubbed her head like she was about to cry. "You're such a dirty slut! Doyoung would never be interested in a girl like you. Look, you're the one pushing me against the lockers."

"You know what." Jena released Gaeun from her grip harshly, resulting her on falling on the floor. Jena then bent down to Gaeun's level and gave her a smirk, using her index finger to tilt Gaeun's chin up.

"I'll always be better than you."

Jena just bitterly turned around and darted away, already upset that Gaeun ruined her day. When will she stop bothering her? Jena wakes aggressively passing a person who turned around to try to call her name.

"Lee Jena!" Jungwoo caught up to her, catching his breaths after finally reaching her. Jena didn't even realize she was walking angrily in the school buildings. "God, it was so hard to catch up with you. I called your name like 20 times."

"Sorry, Jungwoo." Jena gave him a water bottle from her backpack. She felt bad that she didn't even notice his presence. "You can have this, it might help."

"Thanks Jena." Jungwoo accepted the water bottle that Jena gave him and drank it a little bit. Then he toss the water bottle into the recycling bin. "Don't you have water too? I don't want you to get dehydrated."

"Jeno made me bring two extra." Jena responded pretty casually, remembering the reminder he gave her about her medications. "I'll live Jungwoo." 

"Anyways, I was going to say that Gaeun is getting expelled soon for ruining your fucking project since we have evidence and I finished mine so I was gonna offer to help you remake yours." Jungwoo explained. "Don't ask how we found out, just remember that Gaeun is gone."

"Good, cause that Na Gaeun bitch came up to me earlier and slapped me. My face doesn't hurt but she's just so annoying." Jena huffed heavily crossing her arms and looking at Jungwoo. "And thanks for the offer Jungwoo, I would definitely like it."

"Let's start today after school. I'll take you home?" Jungwoo suggested like usual with Jena letting our her melodious smiled. 

"Yeah, to Jeno's this time. Please. I don't want to go back to my apartment for a while." Jena reminded him since she wasn't staying at her shared apartment with Doyoung after what she encountered yesterday with him. She still couldn't mentally recover from it.

Jungwoo then raised his eyebrow in suspicion but he let it slide when he saw Jena's reassuring expression that she was okay. 

"I'm just going through a lot right now Jungwoo." Jena read his mind and he was taken aback, then he nodded after, respecting her decision. 

All of the sudden, another figure came up to Jungwoo, holding hands with him as he held hands with her bad. He smiled at her and placed a kiss on the top of her forehead. Jena assumed it was the girl that Jungwoo was secretly seeing.

"Hi babe, is this the girl you've been talking about to me that's in your major?" The girl asked Jungwoo and he nodded. "I heard lots about you girlie." 

Jena tilted her head. "Who's this, Jungwoo?" Jena looked at the girl, who looked a little off at Jena's manner. But she later figured out it was probably a girl that Jungwoo was seeing. "Sorry, I'm just confused because Jungwoo never spoke about you to me. I'm sure you're a nice girl if Jungwoo's keeping you a secret."

"That's okay. I already knew that he kept me a secret." The girl winked at Jena and she let out a light chuckle. It was funny how Jungwoo was keeping his love life a secret. Jena wouldn't be surprised that his looks can pull off so many girls. "I'm just happy that we met coincidentally. Jungwoo would never let me meet you."

Jungwoo then darted his glare towards his girlfriend and his girlfriend kept silent, knowing what he meant. Then she also became silent as well, understanding the situation. Jena looked at the two a little too awkwardly.

"What... going on?" 

Jungwoo became quiet as he searched the area. Unfortunately, the person he didn't want to see was at the other side of the hallway looking at them bitterly. Doyoung looked like he was going to fume in anger at any second but instead he left the scene.

"Jena, meet my girlfriend, Kim Eunseo. You might know her as the younger sister of Kim Eunjin."
