Roommates | NCT Doyoung

It was exam week, but also it was the week the engineers got evaluated for their projects and their grade. Jungwoo had won first place, while Jena had an honorable mention. Their professor gave them bonus points for placing, making the two have A's in their class. Jena was sad that she didn't place, but one of the judges offered her an internship for the summer including moving to full time after she graduated university.

Doyoung and Jena were walking hand in hand at the university. They were news all over the university and one of the most popular couple already. Their friends were happy that Doyoung had the balls to return to Jena before he loses her. After all, Jena and Doyoung are madly in love with each other.

"Do you have anymore exams?" Jena turned to Doyoung who gave her his undivided attention. She looked at him with her medium sized boba eyes.

"I only have one more." Doyoung responded to her as he got a minor headache knowing that it will be his hardest one. "It's just stressing me out."

"I believe in you." Jena held his hand tighter, rubbing circles on his hand with her thumb. "You are the smartest Information Technology major I know and even if you aren't, you'll always be number one in my heart."

"Awww. Thanks Jena." Doyoung placed a kiss on her cheek, making her cheeks go red instantly. He was used to her blushing like that towards him. "Do you have any more exams?"

"Nah, I already got them out of the way." Jena winked at Doyoung, unintentionally bragging that she's finished with exams and he's not. "I'm pretty confident in all of them."

"Even with the sudden language change?" Doyoung asked since Jena took all her exams in English in the prior year but now she's taking them in Korean.

"I mean... with a little bit of Jungwoo's help I suppose." Jena nonchalantly spoke with some pauses just to lighten up the mood. She stopped walking when they reach Doyoung's classroom where the exam would be and she faced him. "Remember Doyoung, I was born here in South Korea. I don't lose my roots that easily."

"That's my Jena." Doyoung ruffled her hair, making a mess. Jena closed her eyes in happiness. Doyoung checked the clock ticking, seeing that it was time for his exam. "Okay cupcake, I need to go. I'll see you later." Doyoung planted a kiss on Jena's cheek.

"Love you and good luck." Jena blushed at the new nickname and gave him a hug. "You can do it! Fighting!" Jena held up her two fists, pumping it up to cheer him on. She watched Doyoung walk into the classroom, eventually with the doors closing for examination.

Jena decided to wait outside of his classroom, just about a couple of meters away for privacy purposes. She saw students lingering in the hall either at their lockers or just passing by. She used the time to lean against her lockers and scroll through her phone.

She didn't know how long it's been but she lost track when someone tapped on her shoulder. She was gonna smile thinking it was Doyoung but when she looked up, it was an unfamiliar man. "Excuse me, do you need something?"

"Nah, just thought you're cute and wanted to pas by to introduce myself." The man reached his hand out to shake hands with Jena. "I'm Song Minjae, what's your name."

So this was the red flag everyone's been talking about.

"Lee Jena." Jena responded with confidence, ready to blow him off. "Is there a certain reason why I'm interesting? Or it because you're a homewrecker?"

"Excuse me what?" Minjae was blown off by Jena but still kept his smudged smile at her. "I'm not a homewrecker if you're single."

"I used the homewrecker card because I'm taken." Jena stood against him which actually got him heated more. He loves someone who's feisty. "Get with the program."
