And so the other six joined in, a little surprised he just nodded, but he knew that he wouldn't even eat all of his salad, but the others didn't have to know that right away.

weeks later

The first three weeks passed and Hyunjin slowly became a little more relaxed in the presence of the others. The first week they met at Jisung's, the second at Felix's at his request and the third at Minho and Chan's. Hyunjin no longer had his head down, but now looked at the others when they spoke, but he hardly said anything, only when it was really necessary. They had already started googling what exactly age regression was and writing some things down, but Hyunjin could contribute so much more if he would only open his mouth. 

And so that same evening he sat outside at one of the tables in the park and wrote down other important things about age regression. Nobody knew that he didn't actually have a home and that it should stay that way for the time being, he didn't want any pity for it. Luckily it was summer and so it was still warm outside for a long time, so he had no problems sitting in the park for hours and hours. However, if they also want to go to his 'home', then it will be unpleasant.

However, it's all actually holding up pretty well, at least so far. 

The next time to work on the project was at Seungmins, where he shuffled his notes into the pile, which probably helped them a lot more than what the others had written down, because Hyunjin's notes were the entire presentation. He finished this completely on a piece of paper and not on the laptop. The discussion continued until everyone took one or two sheets of paper from the stack, Hyunjin saw that Chan had his notes in his hands and was looking through them with wide eyes. 

"Throw away what you have in your hands.. I have more or less the finished presentation in my hands and we would never find it as detailed as it is here. Whoever of you wrote that, saved us a lot of effort. However, I would be interested to know who it is and how one of you knows this in so much detail. So... who wrote that?" Chan asked, looking around. Chan passed it around, and the mistake Hyunjin made was simply passing the stack of papers to Minho next to him.

"Hyunjinnie? Did you write that? If not, then why didn't you look at it like everyone else?" Chan asked and so all the attention was on him. This was something Hyunjin hated, he hated getting so much attention when someone suspected he had done something. Hyunjin remained silent, but maintained eye contact so as not to give himself away at least completely. "It wasn't me... but to be honest I was just too lazy... to look at that.." He mumbled and then everyone started laughing and Hyunjin was visibly relieved. 

"Okay.. So who was it now?" Chan asked again when the finished presentation in paper form came back to him, but they were all just looking at each other. "Okay, then we'll do it another time. Let's just finish the presentation and then we can still discuss it." Everyone nodded and so the three laptop geniuses sat down together and did the presentation. Meanwhile, the others were making small fruit snacks and getting drinks, only Hyunjin was sitting in place and seemed to be completely lost in his thoughts. He stared at one point on the table and didn't move a meter else. 

Meanwhile, the others watched Chan, Changbin and Jisung as they discussed various things and how quickly Chan typed it all out. After a good two hours the presentation was completely finished, the seven had eaten and were now chatting. And then there is Hyunjin, who was no longer just lost in thought, but also became quite pale over these two hours. At first the others didn't notice, but gradually it became noticeable that something was wrong with the youngest in the group.
