Crying

"Okay folks!" Haechan tapped his finger pointer that teachers use in classrooms on the whiteboard in front of him. "We have just witnessed the event of the century!" 

The Dreamies gathered around a whiteboard with multicolored notes scribbled on it. 

"Taeyong dissed our pal Jaehyun." The Dreamie gasped in shock though they already knew this had occurred. You could say the strives to be dramatic and extra. "Why?" Haechan continued. "Well it's simple really. Jisung come up here."

The maknae grabbed a red pen and doodled something on the board. "Ten tried to kill me but accidentally almost killed Taeyong too! Taeyong snapped at us when we argued and even though he says he's fine, I don't think he is."

Chenle spoke up. "So are you saying that Ten and Taeyong like like each other?"

"Precisely." Haechan clapped his hands together. "They are each other's missing puzzle piece!"

"Bummer! I love Jaeyong!" Chenle pouted.

"You know what, get out." Renjun hit Chenle. "Here in the household we only ship TaeTen! If you disagree-"

"Okay okay!" The meeting was called back to order. 

"Our missions," Haechan stated. "Are simple. Renjun, Chenle I want you to always keep an eye on Jaehyun. Don't let him so much as put a finger on Taeyong. Get all the info out of him. Find out if he truly loves our hyung or if he's just thirsty." Jisung lost it. 

"Sorry!" he quickly recovered.

"Anyways," the lead Dreamie went on. "Jisung and Jaemin I want you to focus on Ten. The Romeo of this story. The one we ship the one we love. Find out his feelings and report back here what you find. Now this is important that you don't fudge the details. As an esteemed matchmaker," the others giggled at Haechan who gave them a dirty look. "I want to make sure I and Jeno will focus on Juliet."

"Juliet?" Jeno asked quizzically.

"Taeyong I mean!" Haechan hissed through clenched teeth. "We will focus on the center of this story. The protagonist of the soap opera. The princess of the fairytale. The-"

"We get it!" Jaemin shouted.

The meeting continued for only a little while. It mostly consisted of shouting, arguing, and crying but it somehow still remained a sophisticated meeting. At the end, the Dreamies went to sleep vowing that the next day their scheme would commence.

The next morning the Dreamies were more than ready to put their plan into action. Renjun and Chenle  grabbed their loaded nerf guns (just in case things got out of hand) and headed to Jaehyun's room which he happened to share with Taeyong. Jisung and Jaemin planted themselves outside of Ten's room and listened at the door. Finally Haechan and Jeno went downstairs to make breakfast. 

Renjun tiptoed down the hall until he made it to Jae and Tae's room. He listened intently at the door. "No sounds of making out." He reported.

"Okay sir!" Chenle scribbled a note into his composition book. "Keep listening!"

The two boys listened for a while with no sounds coming from the room. "They must be asleep." Renjun sighed. As soon as the two Dreamies went to walk away, Jaehyun opened the door. 

"Good morning." He said to the younger boys. His eyes were bloodshot and he was a mess. Jaehyun usually always looked his best but this bedhead was far from it. 

"Um, hyung are you okay?" Chenle ventured and grabbed his pencil.

"I just didn't sleep well last night, that's all." Jaehyun murmured and shut the door behind him. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to use the bathroom." He pushed past the Dreamies and turned down the hall.
