DRAMA CLUB | NCT DREAM

92

after coincidentally having met in the men's restroom, jeno and chenle returned to the ballroom and wanted to join their friends again.

however, everyone was spread across the place and nowhere to be found — except for yejoon who was alone at the buffet and about to snatch some desserts once again.

"wassup fellow sophomore buddy", the orange haired boy greeted extravagantly as he was approaching him.

the curly brown haired boy turned to his friends and faced them with pleased surprise.

"hi guys! there you are!", he greeted with a sweet smile before raising his hand, revealing a brownie that he was holding, "you guys need to try that. it's so delicious!"

"damn, they really look scrumptious", jeno commented amazedly, eyeing the little treat.

"wanna try some?", yejoon offered, moving slightly his hand towards the blonde haired boy.

"nahhh, i'm good", the latter rejected kindly, shaking his head while smiling.

"come on! just one bite", the curly brown haired boy tried to persuade him into trying one as well by stepping closer to him and wanting to shove the brownie into jeno's mouth.

however, his attempt failed as jeno successfully dodged him and backed away, making yejoon almost trip.

nonetheless, the junior effortlessly managed to pull the younger one back to his feet before he could fall. yejoon was stunned, wondering how he could predict all his movements.

"i'm used to such situations thanks to jaemin and hyuck", jeno explained nonchalantly as if he had read the thoughts of the sophomore.

well, actually, he read the surprise on his face and could already tell what he was thinking.

"what?", yejoon asked irritatedly, lifting an eyebrow. chenle — who was wheezing the whole time in the background — was as confused as his fellow sophomore buddy was.

"we need a storytime, please", the orange haired boy demanded, making the older boy chuckle.

"okay, listen up", jeno started amusedly before explaining how he ended up in those situations.

after he was finished, they shared a laugh until chenle was reminded to search for his best friend.

"since we're talking about besties", the sophomore began, looking around in hopes of spotting the ash haired boy, "have you seen jisung anywhere? i can't find him."

"i'm worried that he got lost here", the chinese half-joked, knowing that it could actually happen to him.

"he's with his gaming club bros", yejoon answered and took a bite of his treat before pointing to the direction where jisung and co. were assembled ,"right over there."

"gaming club bros?", chenle frowned, confused about the situation. jeno was as puzzled as him.

"yup, you heard right!", the sophomore confirmed excitedly. "jisung has made new friends thanks to the transfer student who also happened to be good friends with the gaming club members."

a lightbulb inside jeno's head was lit up at the mention. "you mean the transfer student who jisung had once helped out but then failed to get to the room?", he asked gasping, seeing yejoon approve his words.

"if i remember that right, his name was shotaro", the blond haired boy added, index finger laying on his chin.

"yeah, it was", chenle confirmed, remembering it clearly even though it was just mentioned once.

the sophomore glanced at his best friend from the distance, seeing him talking so eagerly and laughing so wholeheartedly. they really did seem to get along with each other.
