Chapter 5: Project EXO and GOT7

"OK, we need to first research GOT7 since we need as much info as possible for you not to look or sound dumb on Monday but we also need to research EXO. . ." Rene smirked as she sat on Nandi's bed.

Nandi was sitting on the carpet facing her friend on the bed.

"Specifically Chanyeol." Rene got up and whipped out her laptop which surprised Nandi. she didn't know when Rene had time to bring her own laptop to Nandi's room. Rene had decided to use Nandi's laptop for research but she used her own laptop as a PowerPoint presentation. Nandi nearly chocked when she saw 'Project EXO' written on one of the PowerPoint slides and Chanyeol's face underneath the title. She was now fully convinced her friend was from Loonyville.

"alright, now here we go," Rene hopped back onto Nandi's bed and started typing fast on Nandi's laptop. Nandi was worried her keyboard would break by Rene's vicious hard typing. Nandi leaned backwards on the carpet she sat on and used her hands to support her body as she stayed in her leaning backwards position. She stared at her friend and wondered where all her insanity came from. She laughed to herself and knew she would never get rid of Rene. It was impossible to disown her. She had a special place in her life and considered her a sister.

"so GOT7, seven members of which three are foreigners like us. One is from china," Rene raised an eyebrow and looked at Nandi. Nandi looked back at her in curiosity. Rene turned the laptop around and the Chinese member was the guy who greeted them at the café earlier that day. Nandi nodded. "well," Rene laughed sarcastically, "at least now we know who this annoying rat is. The name is apparently Jackson. Rude, he never even bothered to tell us his name. what kind of man is that?" Rene was scoffing as she looked up the other two foreign members.

"Maybe he assumed we would knew since I am basically their PR manager now. You also said their group ain't all that. So he must've assumed we knew who he was." Nandi had a point and Rene didn't like it one bit because it meant she was the wrong one for assuming Jackson was ill-mannered. She let out a sigh and rolled her eyes.

"Next foreigner is Mark. From Tuan but raised in L.A?" Rene laughed. "remember what we did when we went there? Oh, man, those were the days,"

"the days you nearly got us into big trouble with the American law," Nandi shook her head in deep disapproval at her friend who now hid her face behind the laptop to avoid Nandi's stare. She didn't want to feel guilty. She had wanted to help her out. "oh would you stop whining? It was for a good cause. Ungrateful."

Rene turned the laptop back to Nandi, "this is BamBam, I nearly fell out the bed when I saw his real name. I had to compose myself. How a person can fit so many letters into one name and say it without losing their breaths is beyond me."

"now he is cute," Nandi fixed her posture as she looked at the screen, "says he from Thailand. Well, Rene, that explains why his name is so long. Cute"

"alrighty," Rene ignored that last statement of Nandi because she couldn't care less. She was lowkey excited about her PowerPoint presentation and the real topic: Chanyeol. "So the next member is JB. He is the leader. And it seems he is the one that looked sick that day."

"sick?" Nandi was confused.

"Yeah, remember he was the guy who was shouting at Jackson?"

"ahhh, him."

"Yeah. And the next guy is Jinyoung. Unimportant really. I mean we just need to know their names right?" Rene looked at Nandi for approval.

"Well, I def need to know their names. But their ages too. When they were born and what they like to eat. I basically need to know them like I would my fav idol groups" Nandi pondered for a while.
