Ren's POV
"Yah Ren! Has Minki told you what she thought about Zelo yet?" Himchan eagerly asked as he slid in next to me.
"Ani. I think she's busy this week," I smoothly replied.
"That's what you say every time we ask," Himchan whined. I shrugged.
"It's not my problem if she doesn't tell me much. We aren't really close to begin with."
"But aren't you siblings?" Zelo asked as he wedged himself between Himchan and me.
"Yeah, but we haven't talked to each other for the past years. You probably know her better than me."
"Jinja? Well, you're twins. You should use your twin telepathy or something," Jongup pretended to be an alien as sat down at the lunch table across from us.
"Actually, there's no such thing. According to an article I was reading, twins have their own minds. Therefore, they may think differently and don't have telepathy," Yongjae interrupted.
"Stop being such a smarty pants," Jongup snapped.
"Stop being a pea-brain," Yongjae argued.
"Girls, you're both beautiful," Yongguk broke up the arguement, "Actually, I was just kidding. You both are equally fugly, but it's okay, you're still my little buddies."
I looked across the cafeteria, wondering where Minhyun was.
"Are you looking for Minhyun? I don't think he's here," Zelo whispered to me.
The past weeks would've been horrible if it wasn't for Zelo. Minhyun and I couldn't hang, even at home! It turned out that Hello Venus' dorm was in the neighboring building, and Yooyoung always was spying on us from that window of her's. The only times we could talk was during vocal and dance sessions (but since we were too busy practicing, it was basically never).
Everyone keeps on asking why I don't hang out with him anymore, and I don't really know what to say. All I can say is, "I'm just giving him some space."
Instead of Minhyun now, I'm hanging around with Zelo and his crew, BAP. The fact that Zelo kind of confessed to me makes it kind of awkward to talk with him though. There was this one time when Zelo was talking about how cool my girl side was, I almost had to leave the room because I was laughing so hard.
"Sorry, it's a habit," I bit into my sandwich, wondering why I hadn't packed more food. I was starving.
"That Yooyoung's so desperate that I feel sorry for her," Zelo shook his head.
"Is that a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich?" Daehyun asked from my other side, freaking me out. Daehyun was really quiet, and had movements like a cat. Just like a ninja, he could blend into the background, and no one would notice him.
"HOLY CRAP!" I jumped a bit, "Omo, you scared me. Daehyun, you need to be louder. And yes, it's a peanut-butter sandwich."
"That's not enough nutrients. Here, have some of my food," Daehyun offered me a roll of his kimbab.
Nodding my head in thanks, I accepted the roll.
"Here! Ren, eat some of my food, too!" Zelo piled half of his food onto my plate.
"Yah, you need to eat Zelo. You're still growing," Daehyun put the food Zelo just gave me back onto Zelo's plate.
"But you gave your food to him! That's not fair!" Zelo whined.
"That's because Ren's my dongsaeng, too," Daehyun reasoned.
After Daehyun turned attention toward the conversation the the rest of the boys were having, Zelo whispered to me, "Don't listen to him!"
Then he piled a whole bunch of rice onto my plate and handed it to me. I turned around to see if Daehyun was looking, but he wasn't.
"E-eh? Oh! Kamsamehida!" I grinned, impressed by Zelo's smooth skills. "Baekhyun left early this morning, so he didn't make me lunch. Thanks for the food!"
When I looked up after finishing my rice, I noticed that Zelo was smiling at me, and my cheeks heated up.
