Are you fucking kidding me?

She was laying right under him with an awkward smile on her face. Her brown hair falling on her face as she looked up at Jeno with the same doe eyes that he had fallen in love with the first time. Even if her hair looked like a mess, she still was ethereal. "Stop it Jeno. She left you, and you're over her. Remember?" he thought to himself, "Pull yourself together!"

Jeno quickly got off of her and stood up rubbing his nape, "Sorry," he sheepishly said.

"It's totally fine," she said, while collecting her books, "I wasn't looking at where I was going anyways."

Jeno awkwardly nodded and started quickly walking back to his classroom with no more words left to say to the girl. He hoped that Hyesoo would just ignore what happened and carry on with her own life, but the universe had other plans for him.

"Jeno, wait!"

Fuck.

He turned around and saw Hyesoo running up to him. her hair moving with the steps she was taking, "Listen, I know we ended off on the wrong page; I came off really harsh when I wasn't actually trying to be so I would like to apologi-"

"No," he said, cutting her off, "Just leave me alone." And with that he walked away before she could say anything else.

"Why would she want to explain? She said it herself she didn't want to do this anymore. So what could she possibly need to tell me?" he thought as he walked into his classroom, taking his seat as Renjun looked at him in question as to why he didn't come in with him like they usually do.

Now, remember when Mark said not to worry about her? Jeno was worrying, very much so. He couldn't help but overthink about what she wanted to say. "What if she just wants to say she never even liked me? I mean, there's no point in that, but maybe she would," he thought. Jeno decided if ever she would approach him, he would run away and ignore her, for the sake of not being heartbroken again. Sigh, how idiotic of him.

After four more torturous hours, lessons were finally over, and the students were free from the Academy for the rest of the day.

"Hey Nono! We're planning to head to Love Talk Café right now!" Jaemin exclaimed, walking up to Jeno, wrapping an arm around the boy's shoulder.

Jeno raised his brow, "Isn't that that café that literally is always filled with obnoxious Insta couples?" he questioned in slight disgust.

Jaemin shrugged, "No. Maybe. Yes it is. But, I heard they're having a discount on their Americanos today, so we have to go!"

Jeno let out a small chuckle and shook his head at his friend. He let out a small, "Ok," and the both of them started walking to Love Talk Café together.

On the way out of school, Jeno noticed someone from his peripheral point of view also heading towards the same way as the two boys. Out of curiosity, Jeno turned around to see who it was, only to discover that it was Hyesoo, looking down at her phone, most likely walking home.

Panicked by the sight of her, Jeno naturally quickened his pace in a way that Jaemin wouldn't notice. Jaemin definitely noticed, but decided not to ask as he saw his friend in a state of fear. Instead he quickened his pace too to catch up with Jeno. Once Jeno couldn't see her anywhere near them, he slowed down his pace a bit, only for him to be nudged by Jaemin, stating that they had already arrived.

The bell sound that rang throughout the café had drawn the attention to the other boys that were already there, waiting for the two.

"And you had the audacity to not buy my coffee?!" Jaemin exclaimed.

"I'm broke," Renjun stated.

"Understandable," Jaemin sighed before turning to look at Jeno, " Don't worry Nono! I'll pay for yours as well!"

Jeno nodded and quickly thanked his friend, before taking a seat at the table.

"So, how was your day today Jeno hyung?" Chenle, the Academy's pride and joy, asked.

"Eventful."

Chenle nodded before continuing, "I heard from some students' whisper that something happened today after lunch. What was that about?"

Damn it.

Jeno was reminded of the terrible memory he wanted to erase from his mind , but nevertheless, he still told the story.

"What did I miss?" Jaemin asked, sitting down with his hands full of cups of coffee.

"Jeno hyung accidentally bumped into his ex today," Jisung said in between all the munching of his biscuit.

Jaemin let out a small "oh." The atmosphere being surrounded in slight awkwardness. Jaemin then decided to change the topic to save them from the awkward suffocation.

They had laughed, some may say cackled or screeched, and talked for a few hours. Other customers had come and go, but never stayed for as long as the Dreamies did. They were the only ones left in the café besides the workers, and they weren't planning on leaving soon.

It was around 7 pm, the group were laughing at an embarrassing joke Mark had made. The laughter soon died down by the sound of the entrance bell filling their ears, all of them naturally looking towards the door.

Jeno's mouth fell open.

No fucking way. She's here. With him.
