Roommates | NCT Doyoung

Jena and Jungwoo were stationed at number 57 where Jena could redo her project. Jena explained her blueprint to see what she was constructing and Jungwoo fully understood, helping her put the parts and gears together. They ran some tests to ensure that the gears were working properly and now they were about 60% finished after 6 hours.

"Thanks Jungwoo for your help." Jena placed her backpack on their back as the two friends walked out of the school where night has approached.

"Honestly, anytime." Jungwoo gave Jena a smiled. "You didn't deserve it anyways."

"It just sucks..." Jena became gloomy, looking her head down.

"Don't worry girl, I heard from Erin earlier today that Gaeun got expelled, after the evidence was brought to the dean." Jungwoo reassured the older.

Jena's eyes bolted up and stopped walking. She turned to Jungwoo. "Kim Jungwoo."

"Yes Lee Jena." Jungwoo nonchalantly replied, looking around like a lost puppy intentionally.

"How was there evidence against Na Gaeun in the first place?" Jena was getting curious.

"Oh, you don't know? Doyoung turned her in after finding a bracelet near your station at the time after the project got ruined. It was easy cause it had her name in it. Also the clasp broke." Jungwoo explained to Jena what had happened with Gaeun. "That girl won't be bothering you anymore."

"That's nice." Jena slyly spoke since Jungwoo mentioned Doyoung and if they continued talking to him, she would've broken down a lot more. They finally made it to Jungwoo's car, now getting in. "I was hoping for her to get expelled anyways. I don't know how she even got into SNU."

"Nepotism." Jungwoo started the car and drove away from the school campus to take his friend home.

Jena woke up in Jeno's bed since he offered her his room while he slept in Haechan's room. It was the weekend so she felt more relaxed. Her brother's room was a lot more simple. It was a Saturday meaning that she was going to work but then the door busted opened revealing Jeno.

"I called Haerin to let you off from work today. She said she was fine with it." Jeno told his sister first thing while he walked to his closet, finding some clothes to wear for the day. "Don't ask how we're buddies. Talk to Taeyong."

"Wait, why?" Jena scowled and bolted up from her bed. "I'm supposed to be working today?"

"The business gala is next weekend." Jeno reminded Jena who was unaware of the date. "You don't have a nice dress so Erin, Mark, Haechan, and I help you find one. Oh yeah, and all 3 of us need new suits."

"Oh." Jena abruptly responded, mindlessly wandering her around with her thoughts. Honestly, she forgot about the business gala but then she remembered that she was Doyoung's plus one. She was still debating to go with him or not. After all, Doyoung didn't tell her to call it off. "I'll be ready in 30 minutes? Is that fine?"

"Yeah, that's fine." Jeno picked the clothes he wanted to wear for the day. "We'll all be waiting outside near the front door."

"Alright, thanks." Jena got out of the bed, stretching her limbs. Jeno was making his way out of his own bedroom to the bathroom until he stopped, turning back to his older sister.

"Jena?" Jeno called out for her and she looked at Jeno, giving a hum sound indicating that she's listening to him. "Remember to take your medications before we leave."
