Lucas couldn't pay attention at school. He couldn't concentrate on anything besides trying to find a way to cool down the ticking timed explosive named Mira.
It was lunch time, and Lucas was in the cafeteria, by himself, minding his own business, twirling his pasta when a boy around his age came over.
"What's got your noodles in a twist!"
Lucas looked up to see seven boys taking their places around a once empty lunch table.
"Hey Mark." Lucas greeted the boy who spoke earlier, "I'm just thinking."
Mark's eyes lit up, "Is it about my proposal!"
Lucas gave a look of confusion, "proposal of what, again?!"
Another boy, Donghyuck, rolled his eyes, "God, hyung. Have you not been listening?"
"I guess not." Another, Renjun, added. "He's been spacing out all day."
"Proposal of what?" Lucas tried again.
All the boys around the table gaped are the oldest, "The band!"
Lucas's eyes widened. "W-what?"
"Yeah!" They all squealed.
Lucas stood up straighter, clearly intrigued. "Tell me more..."
Mark spoke up, " Well, this is are last year together, and I was thinking we should do something to remember this year by. You know?"
"Go on..."
"So, I thought we could be a group! We could sing, dance, rap, you name it! I even signed us up for rallies and stuff. I also wanted to do this to give all mages everywhere hope to thrive in this horrible time. Hope to dream.
"Great speech, but if you already signed us up, I'm guessing you already have a name for this."
All the boys gave each other looks, "Well, that's the part we can't figure out."
Lucas gave a soft laugh.
Donghyuck stood up from his seat ready to pounce on Lucas, "Why, you-"
"Well, if you want to basically bring your listeners hope to dream, why don't we just be called DREAM?" Lucas said as it was obvious.
The boys stared at him in awe.
The youngest, Jisung, was the first to speak up, " Hyung, does that mean you'll join!?!"
Lucas smiled and slowly nodded, and Chenle let out a high pitched squeal.
Lucas's smile widened, "When will we practice?"
Jeno returned Lucas's smile with his own, "Everyday during lunch."
Jaemin leaned further into the table, "So, you're really joining! For sure for sure!?"
Lucas nodded, " Yup! No way I'm passing this chance up. It may never happen again. No matter how much I'll whine or plead. So, I will take this opportunity!"
He stood up and pumped his fist in the air, "Fighting!" He yelled.
The rest joined him , "Fighting!"
They all laughed and took their seats again.
"Anyways..." Lucas gazed at the group, "Does any of you know a great way to relieve someone with a short temper?"
Everyone around the table gave questioning looks , "Why?"
Lucas shrugged, "No reason."
The rest glanced at each other in suspicion, but later shrugged it off.
Lucas has never really cared for another person.
He has always been a laid back, stress free, go-with-the-flow kind of person, or that's what he seems on the outside.
It's very rare to see Lucas worry over anything.
So what, or who, could he be caring for?
