Chapter9

Another week passed by without Lucas and Renjun continued searching for a dorm. His days had been filled with projects, homeworks, paints and Donghyuck. He did see an announcement about the band going to a festival in the south, which means he wouldn't be seeing Lucas for a quite while.

Renjun pulled on his hood and rested his head on the table. It was 7:30 and the professor was still yet to arrive. He felt like a corpse but only dead on the inside. His mom was going back on Friday and he had nowhere to live yet.

"Dead?"

Renjun heard a voice which belonged to no one else but Lee Donghyuck.

"Almost"

He strightened up in his seat and looked at Donghyck. He narrowed his eyes at him.

"What?"

"Who gave you this?"

Renjun said. Poking at the small hickey on his neck. The shirt Donghyuck was wearing was doing little to cover up the bruise.

"Oh, this? Do you know Lee Jeno from the sports department? I've been hitting it off with him"

Renjun furrowed his brows in confusion.

"I thought you were dating Mark?"

"Who?"

Donghyuck looked back at Renjun in confusion.

"Y'know, Mark?"

"Mark as in Mark Lee? The drummer Mark Lee?"

Now, Donghyuck was more bewildered than confused. His voice getting louder with each word. Then, he let out a hearty laugh, while throwing his head back. Renjun couldn't help but watch him silently.

"I wish"

"What do you mean?"

Renjun voice got smaller. The nagging feeling was back and it's seems like its gonna stay for a while.

"I mean, I wish I could date Mark Lee. Who cares about Lee jeno. Oop, the prof's here"

Donghyck paid attention during the lecture but for Renjun, he zoned out the entire time. He thought Lucas got information from Mark, who got it from Donghyuck. Suddenly, the dream he had more than two weeks ago came back.

He thought about it for a while but shook his head and dropped it. Maybe he had a clue because Renjun just be looking like an art hoe. Yep.

"Huang Renjun!!"

"Yes?"

Renjun turned to the figure, screaming into his ear. Eyes dazed from zoning out and probably falling asleep too.

"Dude, c'mon. Wake up. Class' over, let's go eat something"

Both of them packed their books and made their way to the cafeteria. Since it was only 8:30 not a lot of students were in campus yet. Only a few people took the early morning class.

The duo sat at an empty table and while Donghyuck munched on his breakfast, Renjun went back to sleeping with his head on the table. Donghyuck didn't bother him.

"Are you Huang Renjun?"

Renjun lifted his head, fast, and strightened his posture. Turning to the boy, who ,surprisingly, had pink hair.

"Yes?"

"Oh, thank God. You're a cutie"

The stranger let out a sigh of relief and sat down at their table. The two friends exchange a glance and now, Donghyck had stopped eating.
