i turned to seungcheol. the boy had his palms all over his face while mumbling words to himself. meanwhile, the rest of the boys were still compressed altogether at the corner of the room, as if jihoon's infection is everywhere but there. like i said, it's airborne. these boys can really be dumb sometimes.

well what do you expect from a 13 member group who share half a braincell.

before i could say a word, seungcheol lets out a whine. "i don't know what to do with this group anymore. we have the lee chan situation, lee seokmin's bicycle problem and now we have lee jihoon's sickness. and he doesn't even wanna have it treated!" the boy complained. honestly, i don't know the next move too. in addition to the lee problems, we have boo seungkwan who really isn't feeling well.

"why don't you sit down for a bit, cheol," i told him. yeah, as if that will make things better. ten points for minseul.

"don't make him sit on the couch where jihoon was earlier. that's disgusting," minghao says "remind me to clean all of my things later when i get home because oh boy, no infection is welcomed in my system. thank you very much."

i sighed, "okay, so let me get this straight—"

"what about the gays?" mingyu asks. when everyone stared at him, he knew he had to say something. the boy chuckles a little before starting to make hand gestures as he speaks. "it's a joke, because she said straight. okay? geez you guys have zero humor."

"we get it, we're not stupid, mingyu," wonwoo muttered "your joke was just unnecessary. next."

i had to clear my throat to get their attention back. "okay, so you guys agree that y'all are just going to stay there and stand up at the corner because you think jihoon's so-called infection is going to affect you?" i asked. when they all nodded, i really wanted to run my palms down my face.

"we're not even sure if jihoon has an actual infection. it was just a guess," i insisted

"you know what confucius said," seokmin announced, "prevention is better than cure!"

silence.

"you know, i don't think confucius said that," minghao replied

"no, he said that—"

"seokmin, i know confucius he didn't say that quote—"

minghao's sentence got cut halfway as seokmin jokingly gasped, "you know him!? you guys were best friends!?"

the younger could do nothing but sigh in defeat. "oh my god someone stab me in the neck please," he mumbled while seokmin laughed and nudged him. "i was kidding, i was kidding!" the latter chuckled "well, who said it then? aristotle?"
