character answers

hongjoong walks in the noisy room with a few papers in hand and makes his way towards the front of the room. he clears his throat, finally gaining the crowd's attention.

"woah, hongjoong. haven't seen you in this book at all. where ya been, mate?" chan asks, sipping on his tea.

"shut up, chan. why are you even here? these questions ain't for you" hongjoong snaps. chan looks at him boredly as he continues reading the newspaper.

hongjoong blinks. "right. so first up! hwang hyejin"

"yes sir" the girl sits up straight.

"is hyejin an introvert?"

"big yes" she smiles. jongho boops her nose. hongjoong rolls his eyes at the displayed affection.

"when did you realize you had feelings for jongho?"

jongho glances at her curiously. hyejin purse her lips at her memory.

"back in middle school, i saw jongho and hyunjin played around in the hallway and he was smiling so wide how could i not fell in love?"

"hyejin couldn't stop staring at him she literally bumped into a trash can" jeongin comments.

"shut up jeo-"

"next question! have you ever liked anyone before jongho?" hongjoong taps his foot impatiently.

"nope"

"hyejin's a loser"

"chan get lost" hongjoong sighs. "is jongho good in bed- uhm whAT QUESTION IS THIS? CHILDREN DON'T ANSWER" the boy panicked.

hyejin blinks in confusion. "what do they mean by that?"

jeongin covers her ears. "nothing, jinnie. pretend you didn't hear anything"

hongjoong rubs his temple. "next, jongho. since when did you develop feelings for hyejin? and what part of her that you're most attracted to?"

"at first i was just curious because i noticed her looking at me from time to time, but i think i realised i started liking her back at the library" he smiles. "i like her smile and when she turns shy all of a sudden" he giggles. "she's cute"

"yes, yes we get it. geez" jisu playfully rolls her eyes. yeji nudged her.

"what's your favourite thing about hyejin?"

"her shyness. don't ask me why, i just find it adorable"

"how'd you become friends with hyunjin?"

hyunjin laughs. everyone looks at him. jongho clears his throat. "on the first day of middle school, i sat beside felix. then hyunjin came out of nowhere, accusing me of stealing his best friend and proceeded to chase me out with a broom.."

hyunjin snorted. "no hard feelings bro"

"sure" jongho says.

"what is your gpa average?"

"why would you want to know??" jongho questions.

"he gets 3.5 and above" felix says. jongho shoots him a glare.

"next! minhee, when did you develop feeling for the drama llama?"

"since the first time i went over to hyejin's house"

hyunjin's lips form an 'o'. hyejin kicks his foot.

"hyunjin, what did you see in jisu? how do you feel about minhee's confession?"

"jisu has a pretty smile. she's kind too, i guess. yeji introduced me to her though" hyunjin rubs his nape awkwardly. "as for minhee, i was shocked of course. totally didn't expect that. and it got me mixed feelings considering that i was moving on from jisu"

"next, yeji"

the girl blinks. "me? what'd they ask?"

"come back 😭" hongjoong says, fake crying.

"louder please" hyejin and hyunjin says in unison. yeji blinks. "let the dead rest in peace, please. thanks" yeji stood up, leaving the room, chan following behind.

"woah, chan. where ya going?"

"out, duh. hongjoong's been giving me death glares since beginning"

the said boy rolls his eyes. "jisu, why'd you kiss jongho in front of hyejin even though you KNEW he didn't like you?"

jisu flinches at the question. "i thought i could change his mind.."

"tsk" everyone turns their attention to jisung. "what?"

"moving on.. jeongin, how do you feel about being friends with minhee and hyejin?"

"a disaster" jeongin deadpans. minhee eyes her furiously. jeongin gulps.

"i was just kidding.. i feel amazing! i can never ask for more. they are the best"

hongjoong sighs in relief, throwing away the papers before adjusting his red suit. everyone looks at him in confusion.

"why the hell are you wearing that? are you playing prince or something??" wooyoung asks.

hongjoong looks at him smugly. "go and find out in acclimate. see ya, losers" the boy waves, leaving everyone confused.
