THE blaring sound of her morning alarm wasn't a pleasant sound to wake up to but it wasn't like chaeyoung really had a choice. after hitting the snooze button several times, she finally woke up and got out of bed. well, actually it was more like she dragged herself out of bed.
today was the day she was supposed to perform her duet with jaehyun. of course she was nervous but more than that she was very excited. she loved to perform for other people and showcase her voice. as weird as it sounds, she dreamt of being a singer even though she knew her voice was nowhere as good as the idols. she took a shower and couldn't help humming a song out of excitement.
she had a strong dislike for school but the thought of the hell hole lifted her mood. she couldn't help but smile as she put on her makeup. had she mentioned how excited she was?
"someone's in a good mood." lisa remarked as she saw chaeyoung getting ready.
"today i'm performing a duet with jaehyun for music class." chaeyoung replied in a sing-song voice.
"oh so you're excited to see jaehyun?" lisa smirked.
chaeyoung felt her cheeks getting hot. why was she even blushing? she didn't even like jaehyun. she mentally groaned as her cheeks betrayed her. great! now lisa probably thinks that she likes jaehyun. what a way to ruin her perfectly good morning.
"i don't like him you nasty wet sock." chaeyoung grumbled and threw a pillow at the younger.
"yeah i totally believe you." lisa winked playfully at her. "now let me go get ready so that i can survive another day with the most horrible creatures to ever walk on earth, humans." lisa turned and left leaving chaeyoung flustered.
she tried to ignore lisa's constant teasing while she got ready. chaeyoung stood in front of the mirror to review how her outfit looked. she was wearing a baby pink (which was the best shade of pink according to chaeyoung) top and a pastel purple colored skirt which was long enough to not break the school's dress code.
once she was ready she headed out of her room and headed towards the kitchen to grab some breakfast because it was the most important meal of the day (but every meal was the most important according to chaeyoung). the other girls woke up late and usually skipped breakfast and headed immediately to school. they would groan whenever chaeyoung tried to explain how important breakfast was to them which is why chaeyoung was the only person in the kitchen.
she grabbed her favorite cereal in a bowl and then poured the milk anyone who changed up the order and put milk first was a disgrace. she munched on the food as she scrolled through the messages in the group chat which was originally made by jaehyun to expose jenyong (the ship name was his idea as well). the group was now her main form of entertainment. if she ever felt down she could just look at their chats and crack a smile.
she was glad to have made friends with the guys because they were one of the funniest people she had ever known. the boys and girls were absolute crackheads to say the least. taeil was the newest member of the crackhead group chat and he was an awkward bean whose dad jokes nobody laughed at but everyone low-key liked them.

TAEYONG. you're dying??? what oh my god where are you??? are you okay?????
JAEHYUN. who even uses rofl anymore?
JISOO. ^ two types of people in the world.
chaeyoung smiled as she finished her bowl of cereal. "are you guys ready yet?" she screamed.
"no." jennie shouted back.
"well then stop chatting with taeyong and get ready already! we're gonna be late."
"how did you know i was talking to him?"
chaeyoung sighed as she waited for the girls. after everyone was ready they left the apartment with jisoo still complaining about how lazy the girls are even though she was the last to wake up. they walked to school as it wasn't that far away.
"hey pasta!" a voice yelled from behind. chaeyoung turned to see who was calling her by her pathetic nickname.
the brown haired guy also known as jung jaehyun flashed his charming smile at her as he ran to catch up with them. mark and taeyong trailed behind him.
"hey, so you all ready for the duet?" he asked.
"yes!" she chirped.
he smiled at how cute she looked when she was excited and resisted the urge to squish her cheeks. "cutie." he murmured to himself making sure that she didn't hear it.
but she did.
and it made her heart skip a beat. it made her feel all the cliché stuff that you read about in books like how her organs were a mess jumping up and down with excitement even though none of it was scientifically accurate. you would probably die if your organs did that.
but she would be lying if she said she didn't like the feeling. at the same time she felt her heart sink too. she was scared that she was developing feelings for him. she didn't want that. especially not after what happened with her ex. ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁
this book now has a playlist! check out chapter 00 for it.
