"YOU WHAT?" Sunoo gasped loudly as they walked around campus.

She giggled, "That dude who came in the other day gave me a ride home on his motorcycle!" She laughed.

"What the fuck? Oh my gosh, please break up with Jeno so you can get with that dude! Please, I beg of you; he's such a gentleman for that," Sunoo said, putting his hands in a praying motion.

"No. Motorcycle dude smokes; I don't like the smell of smoke or smoke in general! And you know my parents would kill me if I was with someone like him," Hayeon said, shaking her head. "Plus, I'm literally in a two-year relationship. Jeno would literally kill me if he found out I let another dude—who's not you or my brother—take me home. I'm so for real."

"I don't support cheating, but if you were to cheat on Jeno, I would clap and cheer, maybe even throw a party! That man doesn't treat you right at all," Sunoo shrugged.

"Not happening, Captain," Hayeon said, shaking her head again.

"I'm leaving in two hours," Hayeon spoke to her mom with Jeno beside her.

"For what?" her mom smiled.

"I have work, but I get off at 1 AM today, so I'll make sure to study when I come back," she said as her mom hummed.

Her mom looked at Jeno. "Well, Jeno, you'll surely stay here tonight to help her study, right?" she questioned.

Jeno looked up from his phone before nodding. "Yes, of course, Mrs. Jeong. I don't have work tomorrow, so I'll be honored to stay," he grinned.

"What a sweet boyfriend you have, Hayeon!" her mom said, patting his back before walking into her room.

Hayeon looked up at him. "You'll seriously stay?" she questioned, secretly hoping he'd say no.

"Your mom wants me to," he replied.

"Staying up till 1 isn't good for you. You need all your sleep; it's your break day tomorrow. Rest up as much as you can," she spoke softly.

"I'll drop you off at work, then come back here and sleep, and then pick you up. It's not that much," he shrugged.

Hayeon liked when Jeno had days off; he wasn't mean to her. It felt like he actually cared. He'd even take her out to eat on his days off.

"You're dropping me off?" she questioned quietly.

Jeno nodded. "It's been at least a year since I've dropped you off, but it'd be nice to do it today and maybe join you for lunch," he slightly grinned.

"Thank you," she grinned back.

Jeno hummed, leaning in to kiss her as she hesitantly kissed back.

"Yuck, you two, find a fucking room!" Jaehyun said, walking into the living room, shaking his head before heading into the kitchen.

Hayeon pulled away laughing, making Jeno smile.

"Bye," Hayeon said, closing the door after Jeno dropped her off.

She walked in, seeing Sunoo grinning at her. "Girl, did you scold him to take you to work? What the fuck? That's new!" he spoke, causing her to laugh while going behind the counter.

"Today and tomorrow he's off work; you know how that goes," she said, putting on the black vest.

"Ahh, his nice days! He's only nice because he knows he's going to get a fuck out of it—ouch!" Sunoo spoke before Hayeon slapped his arm.
