A tearless cry

[observation]

Idiots, assemble!

Renjun called Chenle and Jisung over to help him spy on Jaemin. He explained to them over text his plans and they were 100% cool with the robot thing and 100% ready to risk it all.
"Why is your hair orange? This is a discreet mission." Renjun scrunched up his face.
"Got bored of the green to be honest. You'd look good blonde y'know." Chenle ran a faintly orange hand through his hair and shrugged.
"Whatever just- one of you needs to 'stumble down' there."
"I'm not doing that. It sounds spooky." Chenle hugged himself and shook his head. Jisung sighed and squared his shoulders as he walked over to the basement door. "You're a brave man, Jisung." He nodded and silently opened the door.

He crept down the stairs and froze when he heard Jaemin speaking. He peeked over the railing and watched him.
"I am Na Jaemin. Na Na Jaemin- nope. One Na. Fuck-great and now I can't see-can't see." Jaemin stood up from the floor and felt around the room. He found a pen and wrote down a number on his arm. Jaemin sat down again and sighed. "Nightmare this a is. Oh now, shit this?" He put his hands over his eyes and laid down. He looked like he was crying but there weren't any tears. Jisung went back upstairs and shut the door.

"I've seen something I shouldn't have." He clasped his hands together and nodded. "He can't see right now and he's speaking in tongues." Renjun tilted his head and quietly opened the door. He waved the boys over and they silently went down the stairs until the last step creaked and they all froze.

"I'm very flat footed I'm sorry." Chenle whispered which was more of just quiet talking.

"Who's there?" Jaemin sat up and looked in their direction. "I can hear you."

"It's just me." Renjun disguised his voice as Jenos.

"Oh. Hey. Is with you someone?" Jaemin sighed, frustrated, and crossed his arms over his knees.

"What?"

"I can't help it. Sorry. You alone?"

"Yeah."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, Jae. Renjun is hangin with Chenle upstairs."

"Oh. I could've sworn he was down here. He's loud." Chenle opened his mouth to protest then shrugged. He was right. "I can't see you. Talking is easier though."

"You having trouble?" Renjun stepped closer.

"Yeah. I keep repeating and messing up my sentences. I also can't fucking see."

"You should get that fixed. I hope you don't get replaced."

"I can't get replaced. I can't go there."

"Where? What'd you do?" Renjun stood in front of Jaemin who followed the sound of his footsteps.

"I don't want to talk about it. I also don't entirely know. I'm not even sure if I did anything. It's a bunch of hazy memories. You were there? But you were different. Blonde," Jaemin looked up at Renjun and sighed, "you'd look good blonde. I'd write it off as a dream but...I know it wasn't."

"I'll try to keep it from my parents. Just, hide it as best as you can, I guess. I'll see you later...hopefully you'll see me too." Renjun turned around and shooed the boys up the stairs.  Jeno met them at the top with his arms crossed.
"What were you doin down there?" He asked.
"Just talking." Renjun smiled.
"Sure. Anyway, Hyuck invited us over for a sleepover and he was wondering if you two," he pointed to Jisung and Chenle, "wanted to come?"
"Sure. I'll have to call someone to bring my things but I wouldn't mind spending the night." Chenle answered.
"My parents don't care where I am. I'll be there." Jisung shrugged.
"Great. I'll go tell Jaemin." Jeno was about to go downstairs when he was yanked back.
"Just do it later I haven't seen you all day." Renjun pouted.
"Oh. Alright. Just remind me to ask him later then, wouldn't want him to feel left out."

The four boys watched a movie together until Jaemin came up from the basement. He had a foreign look in his eyes and seemed a little down.
"Hey Jaemin! We're goin to Hyuck's place in like thirty minutes. Bring a blanket or something."
"Sure." He went upstairs and grabbed a fluffy blanket. He left it on the stairs by the bottom and leaned over the back of the couch. He silently watched the credits roll down as the other boys chatted about the movie. Jisung kept avoiding his gaze.

As they gathered their things and left the house, Jaemin stopped the youngest.
"What's up? Everything alright?"
"Yeah, everything's fine why would anything not be fine?" Jisung gave a tight lipped smile.
"You just seem a little shifty. Is everything okay? Like at home?"
"My dog is actually sick at the moment," Jisung didn't even have a dog, "so I'm a little upset."
"I'm sorry to hear that. Hope your dog feels better." Jaemin pat him on the back and gave him a pity smile. Jisung gave an internal sigh of relief.

"Welcome babies!" Haechan called out from behind the door before unlocking it. "Welcome to the best, or possible worst, night of your December!" He let the boys inside and quickly locked the door back. He ushered the group towards his living room and let them set down their things before putting on a movie. "Jeno. Can I talk to you?" He lowered his voice and beckoned him over. He dragged him into the bathroom and quietly shut the door.

"What's wrong? Everything alright?"
"It's about Rocky." Haechan laced his hands together and looked at the ground. "He's a bit obsessive and he won't leave me alone. He keeps showing up at my house and I don't wanna like, call the police on him. My parents aren't gonna be home until tomorrow and I didn't want to be alone."
"You're gonna have to call the police if he shows up, Hyuck."
"I don't wanna hurt him or anything. Also, what if that makes it worse? What if he has to get expelled? I don't think I could live with that."
"He's being a creep. Do what you have to do. If you won't, and it gets out of hand, I will." Jeno put a hand on Haechans shoulder.

As they returned to the living room, the younger of the two had a cloud hanging over his head.
"Let's get this night started, shall we?" Jaemin grinned, not knowing this night may end up a total disaster.

(Ugh! Summer is over! I have to go back to school! 😩✊️)
(Also, Hyuck's lovelife has been TRASH since he was introduced yikes)
