the book's gonna end very soon, only three chapters and epilogue is left, sigh. gimme more support and uwu.

Jaemin wakes up early and finds that he's alone in bed. He changes up, washes up and goes downstairs to find Jeno and Mrs Lee having breakfast, cheerfully talking and laughing. He smiles at the view and joins them, kissing the woman on the cheek and caressing his friend's shoulders.

"Dear, you are so so precious, you have no idea how I'm gonna miss you", she puts her hand on the boy's with hurt expression.

"Well, I'm gonna call you now and then and wait for you to return someday!", he smiles and notices with side vision that Jeno keeps looking at him with unreadable face. He shifts his eyes to the said boy still smiling brightly and the latter loses his composure shuddering and sipping his tea.

After breakfast he prepares to leave and the older accompanies him to the door.

"Jaeminnie, by the way, the prom is already tomorrow ... Are you preparing something?"

"Nah, maybe I will perform some shit, idk really I think I'm gonna improvise, how bout you?", he questions and caringly fixes some disheveled strands of Jeno's hair.

"Yes.. Imma play the guitar while Minjoo sings", he smiles but looks a bit nervous.

"Wow, seriously? So romantic", he tilts his head to the side and flashes his friend a smile.

They wave at each and the boy heads home at first but then a sudden idea pops up in his head, causing him to change his direction and tell the taxi to drive to the mall instead.

"I need something new in my life. Some change"

The dance teacher enters the room and claps, "Is everyone on time? Who's missing?"

Jeno and Wonyoung chime in at the same time and the others nod, "Jaemin"

It's when the very boy comes running into the room trying hard to catch his breath and causes everyone including the teacher to gasp in shock, especially his friend and dance partner. He smiles and raises his eyebrows satisfied by their reaction.

"I'm really sorry, I literally dyed my hair just now, I hope I'm not late", he looks at his bangs and runs his fingers through them.

"Wow.. this is so creative and.. brave, I mean, to attend the prom with pink hair", the teacher utters scratching her head.

Jaemin walks past Jeno, who's staring at him wide-eyed and approaches Wonyoung, who keeps gaping from astonishment. The boy gently closes her mouth lifting her chin with his index finger.

"Oppa.. You look.. like a doll. So cute.. I'm speechless"

The boy smiles at her and the music starts. The couple dances so well that at the end of the waltz the teacher points at them proudly,
"They joined the crew just two weeks ago and are the superior now. Hands down, talents"

Minjoo and Jeno approach the pair and the girl hugs Wonyoung excitedly, "Oh my gosh, you nailed it, my girl and Jaemin, you look so adorable with this hair"

"You didn't tell me you wanted to change your hair", Jeno sighs staring at the boy's pink head awestruck.

"You like it?", the younger smiles and moves his bangs sassily.

"Definitely.. Sakura-chan", he sticks his tongue out and Jaemin pouts as if offended. It's when a Japanese girl with big ears from parallel class turns to them batting her eyelashes,
"Did someone say my name?"
