Chapter 24: 18 Million Baby

Agnes' POV

"So Nes," Donghyuck said in a questioning tone,

"Hmm?"

"I heard that someone's brithday is coming up real soon!"

Internally I just sighed and wished that as they did the previous years, they wouldn't consistently bother me with grand gifts to symbolize my older age.

"Can we not mention it this year?" I asked with a small sigh as I finally lifted my gaze off of my math textbook, "It's not a big deal." Not to mention that a body next to mine fully stiffens as she heard the words fall from his mouth.

"What do you mean, 'not a big deal' this is party world 101." Chenle said as he practically got on top of the table and smacked his hands to get all of our attention , "We're supposed to have grand parties the older we get and last time I remember 18 is a pretty big age."

"Exaclty." Yangyang said, "For Renjun's we threw one at the racing track, for Jenos we threw one at the ski lodge in the states, and for Chenles-"

"I get it. I get. Don't remind me of Mr.Big Spender and his trashing a Las Vegas hotel for a whole weekend." I sighed out as I shook my head trying to forget the images of sex dolls, and baby pigs running around the roof of a hotel.

"Maybe we should just take it slow this year?" Sungchan offered as he saw how uncomfortable my face was becoming.

"Yeah, what do you want to do?" Shotaro asked as he stared at me, looking past his magazine in hand.

"I don't know-"

"Isn't your dad throwing you the charity ball though? 18 years old means 18 million donated to charities right?" Sungchan said as he remembered the invite I gave to him this morning.

"Wow sounds like a lot of fancy ness," Astrid chuckled as she looked down on her phone.

"Of course it is. The goal is to have an over the top party and top it every year!" Donghyuck said.

"No it's not. It's your goal." Jeno chuckled as he munched on his bread.

"How can we ever top a Chenle or even Donghyuck party considering you are both rich and extremely extravagant people." Jisung chuckled.

"That's the point." Chenle said as he fist bumped with Donghyuck.

"Anyways who are you guys going to bring?" Renjun asked as he smirked and glanced over at the whole table.

"You know who I got," Mark said as he dropped his arm around Donghyucks shoulder, while the younger male could only scoff.

"Please. You're going to have to do something big for me to even consider." He scoffed and he pushed the elders arm away, leaving him in shock as the rest chuckled at their embarrassed friend.

"I'm riding solo," Yangyang said as he  looked down at his tray,

"And what happened to the girl you were talking with? What's her name? Ariana? Ashley-"

"Ariane. And she's been focused on her school work and she doesn't have time. It's not even worth asking her."

"Is our little Yangyang really hooked on this girl?" Donghyuck teased and pushed his shoulder.

"Maybe I am." He smirked as he threw a piece of bread at the older.

"What happened to those two guys from the college?" Shotaro asked.

"Nothing. It was just for fun." Yang chuckled a bit sadly.

"Jisung and I are going together, obviously." Chenle said as he laughed at the younger getting more flushed as the stares.

"I am bringing me, myself and I. More than enough." Jeno said boastfully.

"Of course you are." I chuckled as I shook my head at him.

"It's always better to see where the night takes you, so I'm just going to let everything fall into place." Shotaro said as the rest of the table gives him positive affirmations.

"Jaemin, Sungchan, any date plans?" Mark asked the two as they were abnormally quiet.

"Nothing came to mind." Sungchan said as he quickly tried to scoff down a biscuit.

"Same here." Jaemin nodded smoothly.

I looked up slowly from my book and glanced at the two giving each other knowing glances. Weird. But what was even weirder was that this math shit wasn't going through my thick skull.

The sound of the bell rang and I immediately packed up my books and rushed away.

"Agnes wait up!" I quickly turned around to be met with a chest that would definitely leave some sort of mark for afterwards.

"Sungchan!" I whined, "I told you to slow down when you call for someone!" I continued on as we both walked together.

"I'm sorry," he chuckled, "But I wanted to ask you something!"

"What's up?" I stopped for a bit to glance over at him before turning towards my locker and opening it.

"I wanted to say this earlier, but I didn't know if you and Jaemin were— you know?"

I break my stare away from my locker and quickly look towards the tall dude, with an eyebrow raised, "Jaemin and I are what?"

"Broken up? Over?"

"Sungchan-"

"I'm just saying," he sighed out with a slight chuckle, "If you are open to it, I'd like to take you to the ball."

"You?" I asked with a slight smile, as we both continued to walk to our class, "Why would the great player of all players want to be associated with one girl at a ball that contains many more girls."

"Because I happen to like this one girl." Once the words came out his mouth I suddenly stopped in my tracks and just glanced over at him.

"Nes," he said as he bumped my shoulder, "I know we've had this conversation before but as I also said before, I'm still going to keep trying."

With some silence enveloping us I just took the time to breath in and look over at him, "Of course we can go together Sungchannie."

"Yes!" Was all that was heard in the hallway before I left him behind and walked towards my classroom to where a sight that's wasn't expected was coming.

Astrid's Pov

As soon as Sungchan popped out of his seat ,the rest of us made a beeline to dispose of our things and walk to where we were supposed to go.

Jaemin, Renjun, and I had already began to walk to our class, and were surprised to not see Agnes, considering how fast she ran away from the table.

"I wonder where she went?" Renjun asked as he saw her empty seat, but eventually sighed and sat next to another classmate.

I just sat down and began to put my stuff together.

"Astrid!"

"Hmmm?"

"Do you think you're going to go to Agnes' party?"

"Oh that, I'm," I paused as I gulped a bit and tried to process my thoughts," "As you asked me the first time, I'm not sure yet." I chuckled.

"Do you have plans already? Or is it something else-"

"I'm just not sure yet." I paused again, "I'm not sure if my parents will let me go or not."

"If they do, let me know," he smiled over at me, before quickly going back and looking at his note book.

"You'll be the first person I tell," I chuckled softly as I bump his shoulder lightly.
