Chapter 4 - You Gotta Dream Man

Jaemin's POV

We finally finished making and eating all the food we had cooked, and it was time to go home.

We all went our separate ways, and we wound up at home. Although it was kinda late for coffee, I drank an espresso that I picked up from Starbucks on the way home.

"You shouldn't be drinking this at this time. You'll struggle to fall asleep"

I jumped almost a foot in the air. WHAT WAS JENO DOING HERE?

"W-what are you DOING here?" I spluttered

"I wanted to double-check the balancing equations answers with you so your mom let me in" he replied.

"Right, so you were just standing creepily in the shadows when I came in"

"Yeah... kinda"

We checked answers and luckily they were all the same.

After we checked I went to take another sip from my coffee but Jeno gently pried it out of my grip.

"Go to sleep, we have school tomorrow" he said in a calming tone. "I'm going to throw this out, ok?"

I nodded, feeling subdued.

He went to the kitchen to pour out the rest of the coffee and throw out the cup.

He waited for me to change into pyjamas and then tucked me into bed.

He whispered "Good night Nana"

I felt my heart do a little jump.

The next day school went inch by inch slowly forward as I alternated between gaming and texting on my watch.

In the last period, I received an iMessage.

They employed Nam Chunja

AppaNotEommaKun:

AlwaysWinwin:
It's a shame though, the wages and shifts were pretty good

TakoyakiPrince:
It is her parents store, so it makes sense

Yongie:
They were going to fire me to make room for her so I quit

BunnyBoy:
Yes, show those peasants who's in control

Chittaphrrrrrrr:
If the school doesn't pay you enough you can help out and babysit at my house for a salary as well

Yongie:
Ok that might be good
School salaries aren't very high

Chittaphrrrrrr:
Ok

Yongie:

Yongie:

FightingHyadwae:
Yay Taeyong-hyung has a proper job again!

AppaNotEommaKun:
Ok, are you children still in school?

NoJams:
Yeah, but the bell's gonna ring soon

AppaNotEommaKun:
Well you should probably pay attention now.

Nananananana:
I guess we do need to know what homework we have

AppaNotEommaKun:
Well I don't want to see you reading any more messages until the bell rings, ok?

I actually paid attention just as the teacher announced the homework.

I went onto my watch again, only to get another iMessage notification.

So I went onto iMessage.

NoJams:
Meet in the library for homework?

JisungTheMochi:
But they don't allow food there.
It's better if we eat food at the same time

ChenleTheDolphin:

Morklee:
You guys will be distracted by food. Work in the library

PerfectLittleFullSun:
Shut up, MORK, this isn't relevant to you

Morklee:
You need to pass your classes. I don't wanna deal with you being in middle school for eternity.

ShoulderGangster:
Whatever whatever

Morklee:
Sorry Lucas my bro, you're gonna get kicked out again.

LeeSooman has removed FightingHyadwae from the groupchat

Morklee:
Sometimes I wonder how he even gets into our chatroom to do that

A/N:
Fairly quick update. I'm going back to school next week and I'm gonna be having lots of assessments so I won't really be updating but then after that I think I'll be able to update. Yeet I hope I don't die.
