Zelo's POV
"G' morning," Himchan yawned as he entered the kitchen. He grabbed a plate, and piled some warm rice on it.
"Dude, you have breakfast duty!" Jongup chuckled, tossing Himchan a sponge.
"Whaaaa?!" Himchan lamely answered.
"You're the last one up, hyung," I reminded, bringing my plates to the sink.
"Buf whaf abouf Yonkkukaaa?!" Himchan spoke through a mouthful of rice.
"DID YOU JUST CALL ME YONKKUKAH?? OKAY, YOU'RE SO DEAD!!" Yongguk-hyung leaned across the table.
"N-no!! It was the food in my mouth! I called you Yongguk!" Himchan spluttered, having already swallowed his food.
"That's what I thought," Yongguk growled.
"Whoa! Zelo, I think you grew another cm!" Youngjae measured my height, "In fact, you might be taller than Yongguk now!"
"EHHHH?!" I gasped in surprise, "Jinja?!"
"There's no way, dude," Yongguk snorted.
"No, I think you ARE taller than Yongguk," Youngjae asserted.
"Our little boy's all grown up," Himchan grinned, scrubbing a dish.
"Gosh! Let's just hurry up!" I blushed.
"Give me a sec. I still need to finish a few more dishes," Himchan said.
Plopping down on the couch, I whipped out my phone. It's been a while since I texted Minki... Actually, I've only texted her a few times about stupid stuff like how pretty the sky was.
"Pabo," I sighed, typing a message, then deleting it.
"What are you doing?" Daehyun asked quietly. Whoa!!! When did he get there?! The dude's like a ninja.
"Um, just texting people," I shrugged. Daehyun snatched my phone away with his ninja skills.
"OOOOOO!! You're texting Minki, huh?"' Daehyun observed.
"SHHHHH!" I shushed him.
"It's alright. I'll keep quiet," Daehyun smiled, pressing a few buttons.
"What are you doing on my phone?" I asked, watching his smile turn into a mischievious grin.
"Oh, stuff. Now, send," Daehyun pressed the send button and handed the phone back to me. Curious, I checked my history to see what the heck the guy did.
Hey Minki? How's it going, babe?
I'm doing fine, just pining over you as usual. Call me when you got the time, babe ;P.
Love you -Zelo
Holy %*$(#)_)(#$*%!!!!
"WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO, DAEHYUN?!" I tried to grab a hold of Daehyun, but like I said, he was a ninja. He slipped out of my grasp and hid behind Yongguk.
"You'll thank me. You just don't know it yet," Daehyun hooted.

"THAT'S WHAT HE DID?!" Jongup cracked up as we walked to our classroom.
"You think it's funny?" I glared at him.
"Well, he did actually help you. I mean, you've just been texting her about the sky, and you're getting nowhere. Do you want to be stuck in the friend zone forever?"
"No, but-"
"But you have to make a move, dude. Be a man!" Jongup punched me lightly in the chest. We entered the classroom, and I was about to sit down in my usual seat when I realized Ren wasn't sitting where he usually did. In fact, he was sitting in the corner of the room, all alone and depressed.
"You don't look so good," I commented, sitting next to him. Ren looked up in surprise. He seemed different. Less sleepy and divaish, and more depressed. But something else also seemed off.
"Oh," Ren shrugged.
"What's wrong?" I urged him on.
"Nothing," Ren gave me a strange look. Then I realized what it was that seemed so off.
"Where's Minhyun?" I wondered.
As if on cue, Minhyun entered the classroom. Accompanying him was Yooyoung. Yooyoung seemed to be in heaven while Minhyun looked like he was freaking out.
"So that's where he is. Are they a thing now?" I chuckled.
"Don't know. Maybe," Ren shrugged.
"Yah. Do you like Yooyoung or something? Because it's kind of obvious that she likes Minhyun, so you probably don't stand a chance," I tried to cheer him up. Wait...that's not cheering people up! I'm just making it worse!
"Me-like that b*tch?! Dude, you must be crazy," Ren looked at me as if I'd grown an extra head.
"Oh, I knew that. I was just playing around," I chuckled weakly, looking around the classroom.
"Zelo! Look! Can you believe it?! Minhyun and Yooyoung are a couple! I won the bet!" Jongup whooped, running toward Ren and me. "Oh, hey Ren. Did your sister tell you anything about a uh...text she got this morning?"
Oh. My. GAHHHH!!! Jongup!! SHUT THE FREAK UP!!!
"Oh! That text," Ren blushed, "I didn't know you were so...chummy with my sister."
"W-WHAT?! NO! What are you talking about?!" I denied.
"So you actually aren't like that?" Ren's face seemed to fall.
"He's too shy to actually admit it! Actually, he's had this HUGE crush on your sister for the LONGEST time!!" Jongup chuckled.
"B-I-It's not what it looks like!" I tried to explain.
"OOOOOkay. That's a bit weird. I'll let my sister know about this," Ren seemed a bit shocked, "So you guys were getting on the couple?"
At least the subject was dropped...for now.
"Well, it looked like easy money to me," I muttered, still a bit pissed, "And Jongup. Just because they LOOK like a couple doesn't mean they ARE one."
"You want me to ask?!" Jongup protested, then took off.
"I really hope they're not a couple," I mumbled.
"You like her or something," Ren smirked.
"I just like my money, dude," it was my turn to give Ren a look.
"NOOOOO!! DANG IT!!" Jongup cursed across the room. I smirked.
"Guess they aren't a couple, then! PAY UP!" I yelled at Jongup. I turned to Ren, "Guess you have nothing to worry about. They aren't a couple after all."
Ren giggled. "Take that, Yooyoung," he snorted. I couldn't help but stare.
Guys don't giggle, because that would be really creepy. For some reason, though, when Ren did it, it looked natural.
I covered my face, confused and blushing. What's going on here?! It can't be that I'm...
GAY?!?!?!?!?!
