"y/n! If you were to pick, 'asshole' or 'eye candy'?" Jaemin asks before taking another bite of his meal.

Right now, you, Jaemin and Chenle found yourselves in the cafeteria once again with all of you seated at your usual spots. Jaemin sat beside you while Chenle sat in front of you both.

You sigh when you hear the question once again. This was the nth time that he asked about it today.

First was when you got to school. Second was during math time when he even scribbled stuff on your notebook like:

y/n + asshole = first love that's now dead

y/n + Eye Candy (Handsome Yukhei) = Happily Ever After! NO NEED FOR ASSHOLE ANYMORE! YAY!

Third was when you, him and Chenle were on the way to the cafeteria and the fifth time was just a few seconds ago.

"Asshole and I are over and eye candy is just a friend"

You say, repeating your previous answer. Jaemin just rolls his eyes at you, finally looking like he's given up on getting a proper answer.

"Well, I still prefer Yukhei over whoever asshole is"

Of course he had to have the last word.

"Speaking of Yukhei, the guy wasn't in class today" Chenle suddenly says.

You tune out on the rest of Chenle and Jaemin's conversation and eat in silence.

You feel your phone vibrate in your pocket and open it under the table to check the contact. You glance at Jaemin and Chenle before excusing yourself, saying that you have to answer a call, and walking off.

"What do you want jealous boyfriend?" You ask jokingly.

You hear a chuckle from the other end of the line, followed by a flirty comment.

"Keep calling me that and I might actually think that we're still together"

You just chuckle at his words, already used to him acting like this. Although deep down, something in you suddenly felt broken.

Despite all the playful flirting and jokes that you said after your breakup, something always hurt.
You'd told yourself that it was because he was your first love but the part of you knew that it was just some sorry excuse to mask the fact that you may still have feelings for him.

Taeyong mentally face palms himself after the words slipped his mouth.
Why did he have to say that?

"So what do you want?"

He hears you ask from the other end of the line.

'Fuck it' he thought to himself, the damage has been done so why not take it further.

Jaehyun's words about him putting his happiness first ring in his head and his happiness was you and if playfully flirting with you was his only way of showing he loved you then 'fuck being a gang leader for once' It's just one phone call.

"You still there buddy?" You ask when Taeyong doesn't respond for a while.

"You. I want you back."

You furrow your brows. Taeyong always flirted back with you but he never really 'flirted' with you. He was always too busy trying to keep up his image as a leader.

You try to ignore the fact that your heart skipped a beat once again.

"If you can't not like me, then at least pretend that you do. Because the second you show emotions for me, I might just run back to you"
