trio / jaemin + jeno

03

time of the month.

that was what haru had told haeryeong. she quote, it was my time of the month, i'm so sorry.

that one certain line kept repeating itself over and over again in haeryeong's mind. she understood if haru pushed jaemin away because of her occasional moodswings, but didn't he buy chocolates for her? shouldn't she feel better after that and do those mushy couple stuff to jaemin as a thank you? haeryeong lived in a very, very confusing universe.

she was drowning too deep in her thoughts that she almost jumped off the chair when a hand slammed onto her table. haeryeong mentally calmed herself down before snapping back into reality. ah, reality, where good looking anime boys like takumi aldini did not exist. saddening.

another slam. haeryeong stared at jeno through her eyelashes, holding herself back from standing up and smashing the table into his face. he might as well just break the table for her, that could be her reason to not study. someone should break her table before more violent thoughts grow like apples on trees in her mind.

"stop getting so distracted! stop thinking about whatever you're thinking about! or rather, whoever you're thinking about." jeno wriggled his eyebrows smugly, which haeryeong reacted to with a scoff. "well, sucks to be you, i was thinking of apples." she cursed the attention-seeking brat in her mind.

(a/n: do you know the pain im feeling right now i want to insert in some ppap or jimin reference but i cant its february in this story rip me)

"speaking of apples, i'm hungry." jeno stared at haeryeong's table, lost in his thoughts for a few seconds. "hi hungry." jeno ignored her on purpose. pft, fine then. she waited for him to speak up again in a few seconds, and that he did. "anyways, how did it go? with haru?"

"i would put it as.. okay?" haeryeong shrugged her shoulders, jeno looking up at the ceiling thoughtfully. "said she was having her time of the month, and all. apologized to me instead of nana."

"well, okay then.." jeno murmured. "do we make them talk again? or would she just push jae away again?"

"it all depends, really. maybe nana should spoil her badly, then they'll go back to normal again."

"god, this makes me think of taylor swift."

jeno stared at a wall, his mouth wide open. he seemed out of focus and haeryeong already knew that a taylor swift song had started playing in his head. she groaned and bang her forehead against her table. (lightly, of course. she didn't even have enough money to pay for her lunch, how can she afford her own insurance?)

"hi, guys!" jaemin chirped happily as he slung an arm around jeno's shoulders, who was still staring at a wall with his mouth agape. "what are you guys up to?"

"nothing much. just having an existential crisis, you?" haeryeong responded, yawning into her palm. sleep would sound so good right now. sometimes she felt bad for ruining the bright atmosphere that jaemin had created, but that was just how she was. party pooper. mood killer. and the other phrases out there.

"honestly, same." jaemin plopped himself onto haeryeong's seat, his bum accidentally pressing too hard into her thigh. she hissed in pain and widened her eyes, but jaemin was too oblivious and he let out a little cheer when the chair managed to hold haeryeong and jaemin both at once. it was a bit surprising when he had stated he was going through an existential crisis, but maybe he was joking about it. who even knows how far na jaemin's vocabulary goes?

"what's jeno doing?" jaemin whispered into haeryeong's ear, making sure jeno wouldn't hear them. haeryeong eyed jaemin with a hint of judgement in her eyes. jeno was literally right across them. jaemin raised an eyebrow at her, expecting a reply.

haeryeong rolled her eyes and sighed. "well, he – "

"shhh!" jaemin immediately slapped a hand onto her mouth, shutting her up completely. haeryeong contemplated whether to lick his hand off or not, but thought of germs and decided against that. "he'll hear us!" he whispered to her, eyebrows pulled together. once again, jeno was right across from them. he still remained in his position from moments before, not moving at all. who knew what song was playing in his mind now? haeryeong was surprised that his mouth hasn't attracted any flies yet.

"nana," haeryeong leaned her forehead onto jaemin's arm and hit her head lightly against it a few times, "please. he can hear us. whatever we're saying. but he's just.. in a trance right now, he can't even process a thing we just said."

"heh?" jeno mumbled, his head tilting to the side in wonder. his gaze was still on the wall. what was so special about it? haeryeong definitely did not know that jeno had developed a liking to empty walls, she should pay more attention to her bestfriends.

"uh.." jaemin waved a hand in front of jeno's face, trying to get his attention. "hello, hello?"

"what hello hello, tell me what you want right now right now!" jeno's sudden singing startled the two teenagers sitting on the chair, both clutching onto each other so they both don't fall off. he then went quiet again after that.

"um.." jaemin tried to reach over but haeryeong stopped him before he could. "wait, let me try something." she suppressed a giggle before saying, "ssak da bultaewora!"

"BOW WOW WOW!"
