the gamer pulls herself from her setup, standing from the chair with a huff before strutting out the room to the front door. she could practically sense the bother from the other side, swinging it open and not allowing a hello first. "do you find lying fun?"
"hello to you too!" jaemin beams, completely unaware of his friends shenanigans as he wrapped tight arms around the girl, considering they hadn't seen each other since the collaboration. after the short hug, jaemin spots sungchan inside and makes a beeline towards him.
rinaes attention is turned back to jeno, waiting for his answer. "i could've died and you just took your sweet time... pain..."
the girl scrunches her face and makes a mocking gesture with her lips, forcefully walking to the side to allow him in. for some reason jeno standing in her home, just inches away from her room, was making her chest bubble with anxiety, but she swatted the feeling away to shut the door and join the others.
"cj, oh my god, you were serious," jeno chuckles as he gets a good look at the poor attempt at a fort set up in their living room, it being the very first thing to be seen when you walked it. it was unavoidable.
cj, fully engaged in a bowl of popcorn, sat comfortably against a couch cushion, lifts her head. "hm? oh, yeah, duh. my forts are no joke."
"my 3 year old niece could make a better fort, babes," rinae teases, earning a glare as she plops down onto the smaller couch that thankfully was kept of cushions. "your 3 year old niece ain't got shit on me."
the main lights were shut off, the only thing occupying the darkness being a few fairy lights cj grabbed from her own room to ensure it wasn't eerily dark when they watched the move. including the one in her lap, she'd prepared two bowls of popcorn and cute little margaritas made of whatever alcohol she could find in their apartment.
jaemin childishly plops down on the floor in front of the screen, staring up at the netflix logo as sungchan fumbles around to find the remote he placed down a second prior. jeno makes himself comfortable next to rinae, with an unnecessarily loud sigh.
her eyes dangerously peek to glare at the side of his face. "don't piss me off."
jeno unsuccessfully fights a quiet chuckled, "i'm sorry for existing. that's my bad."
cj twists around to hand the pair the second bowl of popcorn, rinae setting it in her lap before reaching into it, for jeno to do the same at the exact same time while the sound of the movie starting was heard a second later.
even though it should've been loud enough to mask any other sounds, rinae could still very clearly hear jenos faint breathing and occasional crunch of a popcorn kernel. usually, hating the sound of chewing, she'd get up and move elsewhere, but found herself not wanting to that time. her eyes were locked on the screen but couldn't seem to actually focus on the movie.
rinae quietly clears her throat and leans forward to pick up two glasses, keeping one for herself and holding one out to offer to jeno. "drink?"
the boy shakes his head, "i'm the designated driver," he politely declines.
"ah, i see. you don't really wanna try cj's drinks anyways, she's got no idea how to bartend." she mutters just loud enough for jeno to hear, not feeling like getting a pillow thrown at her by her roommate.
"but you're still drinking it, weirdo," he notes, referring to the straw placed in between her lips. "watch this."
rinae bites her tongue from a smart remark and sets her drink down, watching jeno grab a single piece of popcorn and prepare to throw it into the air. "this is for you."
her eyes nearly widen as he finally tosses the popped kernel into the air and opens his mouth to catch it. except, he doesn't. the snack bounces right off of his chin and he holds position for a moment to process his embarrassment while rinae fails to hold back a snort.
the other three who'd actually been doing what they came there to do, watching the movie, somehow seemed the farthest from phased at their quiet laughter and movements. "that was your fault." jeno decides, moving from his frozen position.
"my fault?"
"yeah, you're cursed. it's because i said 'this is for you,' i would've made the shot otherwise," he argued, earning a slack jaw from rinae in return.
"don't blame me for your shitty shot," she bantered back, "i'll show you how it's done."
confident, rinae picks up her own kernel and without hesitation, throws it into the air with an open mouth to catch. despite being so confident, part of her was shocked when she managed to actually catch it.
the pair gasp and rinae nearly jumps up in excitement, but settles for a high-five instead. "without even second guessing it too, wow."
their attempt at staying quiet had failed in a moment of excitement, jaemin twisting around to shush the two of them, only for them to break out into silent laughter the second he turns back around.
