Chapter sixty-eight : An interesting girl

Jaemin was in Yuta's car, waiting for his brothers to finish their classes so they could go back home. Jeno was the next one to get in, and he took the seat next to Jaemin. The two had grown apart the last few days, and it bothered the two of them.

"What's going on between you two lately?" Yuta asked, looking at them through the rearview mirror.

"Nothing," they both answer at the same time, looking away. The oldest sighed, "Everyone noticed you've been acting weird around each other lately, you know. If you don't want anyone to ask you questions, try to be less obvious about it."

"Jaemin's mad at me because of the fake fight we had at the cafeteria the other day," Jeno spoke after a while.

"Right, 'fake'," Jaemin scoffed.

"What happened?" Yuta asked. It wasn't rare to see the members mad at each other, but that's something that almost never happened between Jaemin and Jeno.

"I said I liked Iseul..." Jeno said.

"Wait you do?" Yuta exclaimed.

"No, of course not!" Jeno replied.

"Right," Jaemin sneered, clearly not believing the boy.

"I don't! I only like her as a friend!" Jeno defended.

"Well you certainly don't act like it," Jaemin retorted, this time looking at him.

"What are you talking about? I only said that because I knew you'd get mad at me, which is, let me remind you, the reason why we had this fight in the first place! And besides, I really don't know why that would be so bad if I liked her! It's not like you're her boyfriend anyways!"

Jaemin opened his mouth before shutting it, knowing that Jeno was right. He was just Iseul's friend, he had no right to be mad at Jeno for that. So why was he feeling so angry whenever he thought of the two being together?

"Jeno's right, you know," Yuta spoke. "But you guys shouldn't fight for a girl," he said. "Even though, I have to admit, Iseul's quite something," he chuckled.

Jaemin and Jeno shared a confused look, "What do you mean?" Jaemin asked.

Before Yuta could answer, Mark, Renjun and Donghyuck barged into the car yelling at each other.

"I told you that was a stupid idea!"

"Yeah well excuse me if I'm not a specialist like you in the matter!" Renjun fought back.

They became quiet when they realized the other three were looking at them. "Sorry," they mumbled.

"So, what were you saying?" Jeno asked when Yuta started to drive back to their house.

The man let out a snort, remembering the scene, "Iseul kicked Taeyong's ass," he said, and they all widened their eyes.

"Excuse me, Iseul did what?" Mark exclaimed.

"She kicked Taeyong's ass," Yuta repeated, laughing even more when he saw the boys' faces in the mirror. "I see why you like her so much, now," he admitted. "She's really entertaining, maybe that's why Taeyong didn't do anything to her yet."

"Wait you mean she's still alive?" Donghyuck spoke.

"Yeah, but Taeyong's really mad," Yuta said. "He was yelling at her saying she was just a silly little girl, and I guess she must not have liked the comparison because she proved him wrong as soon as he was done talking. She's a damn good fighter."

"Yeah, that's my- "Jeno stopped himself, realizing what he was going to say, and met Jaemin's stare. "I mean, I'm a great teacher," he cleared his throat.

"She can't possibly that good," Donghyuck mumbled.

"Well she did kick Jeno and Taeyong-hyung's butts when they're the best fighters we have," Mark argued. "I'd like to see what she's capable of."

"Anyways, Taeyong is in a really bad mood, he's literally fuming about it. His pride got hurt like never before, and he's probably going to beat my ass when he'll know that I told you guys, but that was worth it," Yuta laughed. "You should have seen it, really. I don't know what was funnier, the fact it didn't take her ten seconds to put a whole mafia leader to the ground, or Taeyong's face once he finally realized what had just happened."

"Yeah well, not to sound rude or anything," Jaemin began, "but hyung should have seen it coming. He's been treating her so bad since she got here."

"At least she can definitely defend herself," Jeno noted and Mark nodded.

"I'm starting to like this girl," Yuta smiled, and he didn't notice Jaemin and Jeno's faces darkening at his statement. "It's nice to see she's more than just a cute little girl."

"Pfff," Haechan scoffed. "It just proves what I've been saying all along: we know nothing about her, and she could beat our asses whenever she feels like it. You never thought about the possibility that she might use those skills against us? I mean, she did fight Jeno and our leader. Since when do we let some random girl humiliate us like that?"

"She didn't humiliate anyone," Jeno said. "We fought because I was teaching a boxing class, what else do you think we were going to do? Just stare at each other? As for Taeyong-hyung, like Jaemin said, he pushed her to do it. She was the one being humiliated."

The debate was cut short as Yuta pulled up in the large driveway.

"Guys, try not to test Taeyong's patience today, he's... well, you know," Yuta warned.

"Great, cause now we have to deal with his temper because that girl had to fight him...." Donghyuck groaned, opening the front door.
