Reverie [夢想]

Surprise

"Oh, hey, Mingming," he greeted.

"Oh, hey, Mingming," chimed in a man sitting beside him.

"H-hi," I responded with a smile.

I took a seat beside Ayano. "Miss Tanaka, Mingming," Ayano addressed me, catching my attention.

"You thought you had escaped the medications? From me?"

"Well, I don't need to think about escaping; I have already escaped the medications. Why would I need to escape from you? If anything, you should be the one trying to evade me," I chuckled.

"What medications are you referring to, Mingming?" the guy next to Ayano inquired.

I couldn't believe he was asking me that. How should I respond? Certainly, I couldn't divulge my mental health struggles... This was becoming quite overwhelming internally.

"Constipation..." Ayano replied.

Wait, what? I glanced at him in disbelief. "He asked about my medications, not yours. I have anemia and take iron tablets," I giggled.

Ayano's perspective:

"By the way, you haven't met him, right? This is Ren, my friend," I introduced my friend to her.

"Nice to meet you, Mingming. I'm Yokoyama Ren," he said, waving at Mingming. He then leaned towards my ear and whispered, "Dude, your best friend is hot." He giggled. I glared at him.

"Yeah, she is," I replied.

"So, is that your way of saying I can take her?" he smirked. I scoffed at him.

"Dude, I know her taste in people so I'm not sure about it and watch your words Ren. " I said.

"Jealous? Haha, you better be," Ren replied.

I burst into laughter. "You talk like she's your sweetheart."

"What is all this commotion about?" Mingming interrupted the argument.

"Ayano likes you, Mingming," Ren laughed.

"Not surprised," said Mingming.

I smacked Ren's head. "You joker!"

"Ow! What? I was being honest," Ren said, rubbing his head.

"Us in a relationship is weird, but what's weirder is when you guys date; you're no match for each other," I said.

"I mean, that's true. But I know who she'll be a match for," Ren said, smirking.

"You better not say it's Takahashi Jun," I said.
"He's the one."

"By the way, I didn't see him today. Where's Jun?" I asked.

"He's upstairs helping the teacher," Ren said.

A few minutes later,

I called out to Mingming, looking forward to introducing her to my friends. They were all really nice, and I hoped they would get along well with Mingming.

"So, these are your friends. Am I right?" Mingming asked me.
"Yes, they are," I replied with a smile.

"Hey, Mingming. I'm Hiroshi, the leader, not really one, I'm just the brilliant one here." Hiroshi introduced himself.
"Are you really that brilliant?" Mingming asked.
"Nope, he decided that. And there's no such thing as a leader. He thinks he's Kim Namjoon," said the guy next to Hiroshi. Hiroshi giggled.

"And you must be?" She looks at him.
"I'm Aiko, the eldest," Aiko said.
"I'm Eisuke and I am the one in charge of FM radio in this uni" Eisuke said.
Mingming smiles at him and nodding.
"I'm Gota, your new friend," Gota said cheerfully.
"Babe,I'm Ren. We've already met," Ren grinned.
