santana's point of view

The boys stare at me like I'm crazy.

Jooheon: Are you fucking insane?
Hyungwon: She must be.
Wonho: Him come here? To eat? Hell no.

I roll my eyes.

Me: I thought idols stick together?
Changkyun: Who said that dumb shit?

I lower my head and sigh.

Acting time.

Tears begin to flow down my face and Shownu frowns. He pulls me into a hug, rubbing my back slowly to hush my sobs.

Shownu: Of course your friend can come to dinner this weekend.

I smile and instantly wipe my "tears", the boys begin to protest but once they see Shownu's face they go silent.

Shownu: If San is friends with him maybe we should give him a chance, we kind of owe her that.

Friday night Lee shows up around eight, I open the door and invite him in. Of course I didn't tell the boys he knew about us, they'd murder me. I trust Lee but they don't.

The first person to appear is Minhyuk, he forces a smile on his face.

Minhyuk: Lee, nice to see you!
Lee: What's up?

The smile Minhyuk is wearing looks like he's constipated. I push his arm and he clears his throat before replying to Lee.

Minhyuk: So do you like football?

My face falls.

Me: You don't even like football.

Jooheon walks into the living room and tries to turn right back around once he sees Lee. Wonho practically shoves Jooheon back into the room and I fight the urge to laugh.

Wonho: Lee! What's up buddy?
Lee: Um, hi?

Wonho's jaw clenches, it's killing him to be nice right now.

Wonho: I listened to your album.

Why are they such liars?

Wonho: Pretty good man.
Lee: Really? What was your favorite songs.

Wonho scratches his head before shrugging.

Wonho: The one when you were like 사랑을 했다 우리가 만나!

Oh my Lord. Lee and Minhyuk's eyebrows furrow together.

Me: Love scenario?
Wonho: Yes!
Minhyuk: That's by iKON hyung.

Kihyun walks in to save us from this very awkward yet funny moment. Kihyun is better at faking his niceness than the rest of them.

Kihyun: Dinner is ready!

The tension is so thick it's ridiculous.

I don't know hat I was expecting but damn, this is horrible. Never knew spaghetti night could be so uncomfortable, the only person who isn't paying attention is Hyungwon. He's too busy scarfing down his food.

Changkyun: So Lee.

Oh no.

Changkyun: Heard your going on a world tour next year, that's cool.
Lee: Ah yeah, I'm kind of nervous.
Changkyun: I'm sure you'll do fine.

Every single fork falls against their plate as we stare at the young boy in disbelief. Did he just compliment him?

Lee: Thank you, I appreciate it!
Changkyun: Sure.

Hell must've froze over.

Lee smiles and you can practically see the tenseness melt away from him.

Lee: For my next song I actually wanted someone to feature on it, would you guys be interested?
Jooheon: We don't really like you that much.

And it's back.

Me: Jooheon!
Jooheon: He's your friend not ours.
Me: Give me one reason why you don't like him.
Jooheon: I can give you ten.

Lee clutches his chest.

Lee: She just asked for one.
Shownu: Ignore Jooheon, he get's cranky past nine o'clock.
Lee: That's how my friend RJ was. Whenever he got tired he turned into a grumpy gremlin too.
Jooheon: Too? I'm not a gremlin!

The bickering between Lee and Jooheon lasted all throughout dinner. Surprisingly the others sat back and watched with amused faces.

Maybe this is the start of a friendship.

Lee thanked us for dinner and left soon after. They all let out a breath of relief.

Wonho: Don't bring him back to our house.
Shownu: I can't stand him.

Or maybe not.
