chenle scoffed. "what's that supposed to mean? its 3pm, kinda far from nighttime dont you think?"

jisung shook his head. "I meant meet me tonight. exactly 8pm, when the sun has fully set. satellite avenue."

"and what the hell are you going to do in the meantime?" the younger only smiled. "make things right, of course."

jisung walked the other way, going to god knows where. leaving chenle to have to trust his word. trust the boy who had been lying to him from the beginning. definitely something easier said than done. he sighed, walking towards the bubble tea shop by his house.

he didnt want to wait, he wanted answers now. but the universe hadn't been on his side for a while, and it wasnt going to start going back to normal now. he just had to run into mark and donghyuck there.

"oh- shouldnt you be in class right now chenle?" mark asked. donghyuck snickered at his boyfriend. "it's free period for his grade level dumbass, kinda like how it's our lunch." mark muttered an 'oh'

"so what are you doing here? shouldnt you be studying for that exam coming up?" chenle shrugged. "I have more important things to worry about. its history anyways, people died and people changed the world. that's all there is to know."

"if hamilton fans heard what you said they'd be very upset right now." mark stated. "alright guess I'll change the subject before hyuck starts singing the entire soundtrack."
donghyuck rolled his eyes. "you're just jealous of my talents."

"right. ok I guess I'll see you guys later." chenle walked away from the couple's table and up to the counter to finally order his drink. donghyuck sighed. "whatever happened to him?"

mark cocked an eyebrow. "what do you mean?" the younger took a sip of his drink. "you know what I mean, that's not the chenle we know. we knew , I guess you could say. something changed with him over the break last year. you see it too, right?" mark thought for a moment.

"nothing ever happens with that kid, baby. hes a plain slate." donghyuck shook his head.
"no no, I'm not talking about that. his demeanor." finally, mark nodded.

"I see what you mean. I guess something just changed in him. puberty was only kind to some parts of zhong chenle."

donghyuck spit out his bubble tea. "no! I mean the kid turned into an emo bastard, mark!"

"..oh. yeah that's true too."

donghyuck facepalmed. "I love you but sometimes you're an idiot. I just wish he would act like his old cheerful, happy self. it's as if whenever jeno started hanging out with us he got a stick shoved up his ass." mark held in a laugh.

"yeah, but you should let him figure it out on his own. it's not very funky fresh of you to talk about him behind his back. we all went through an emo phase, might I remind you of constantly listening to my chemical romance and putting red streaks in your hair?"

donghyuck blushed from embarrassment as mark has shut him up. he ruffled the younger boys hair. "I'm only kidding, no need to be an embarrassed. nobody was cool in middle school, and I mean nobody."

the couple was in their own world, completely unaware the shop was quite small, and haechan is very loud. chenle just wished he didn't have to hear everything his friends thought of him.

because sometimes,

the truth hurts. even when it shouldn't.
