Lovely Nights || Zhong Chenle

After a twenty minute walk, Lucas and I arrived at a burger joint. He waved at two boys who were standing in front of the entrance. The two boys stared at me awkwardly when I hid behind Lucas.

"Oh I almost forgot." Lucas softly pushed me in front of him. "This is Jungwoo's cousin,......"

His voice trailed off.

"Y/N." I finished and bowed politely. "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you." The taller one introduced himself first. "I'm Jaehyun."

"My name is Ten." The other boy followed.

"Are you really Jungwoo's cousin?" The guy named Jaehyun questioned.

"Yes, do you know him?"

"The four of us are close friends." Ten smiled.

"Can I ask you something?" Jaehyun spoke again.

"Depend's." I shrugged my shoulders shyly. I wasn't used to having long conversations with strangers so I was beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed.

"Jungwoo and I have been friends since high school. We were even in the same home room for all three years."

"You went to Hanin Highschool?" I interrupted him.

If he was the same year as Jungwoo that would mean he was a senior while I was a first year, but I don't recall ever seeing him around.

"I did." He chuckled at my sudden enthusiasm.

"So that means you're my senior." I smiled brightly. "I'm a third year this year!"

"If you don't mind me asking," He rubbed the back of his neck seemingly not wanting to look me in the eye. "are you Jungmin's younger sister?"

I was surprised by his question. I expected him to ask me anything but that. Perhaps I shouldn't have been so surprised. After all, if he was friends with Jungwoo it was more than likely he was also Jungmin's.

"Mmm." I nodded my head. "But I'd rather not talk about that."

"I-I understand." He frowned. "Sorry for asking."

"Who's Jungmin?" Lucas instantly questioned.

"No one." I mumbled.

"But Jaehyun just said he was your brother, why hasn't Jungwoo ever mentioned him before?"

"Because he's dead!" I snapped back.

The atmosphere became silent as the three boys looked at me with sorry eyes.

"Are we going to eat or not? My stomach is growling by smelling all the yummy food." I tried to change the topic of conversation.

I walked inside and found a both to sit at. Lucas sat next to me while Jaehyun and Ten sat in front of us.

After the waitress came and took our orders, I heard a familiar laugh coming from behind me. I peeked my head over the booth and saw Chenle sitting in the table section with his arm around a girl, but it wasn't just any girl, it was Sarang. Not only was he there but so was Suyeon, Jaemin, and the rest of their friends. It looked like the large group had pushed the tables together for all of them to be able to sit together. By the looks of it, it seemed like Jaemin was desperately trying to grab Yoona's attention who was too busy talking to Suyeon and a few of the other cheerleaders.

My eyes made their way back to Chenle. He still had his arm around Sarang and she was all over him. Was he dating her? It couldn't be, she's not even his type.

"Get a room." I spoke quietly and rolled my eyes.

"Jealous?"

"What are you talking about?" I turned my head nervously to see Lucas staring at me with a smirk plastered on his face.
