the days went by and somehow a whole week passed.

i didn't dare to attend school, my mum didn't even let me. i wasn't in a good condition, obviously, but my mum thought just had a bad migraine. the boys promised me they won't tell her anything about what happened.

jeno and jaemin would visit me everyday after school. every second day haechan, and sometimes along with chenle and jisung, came over and brought some snacks. together we worked on our homework which i had to hand in while i was sick.

but never renjun.

on one day all of them ringed on the door with bags over bags full of snacks, games and other stuff. jaemin carried two sixpacks of coke which made my heart break.

COKE COKE COKE GIMME GIMME. i am a hoe for coke 😼

i was surprised, but after all they were my friends. of course i let them in, they would break my bones if i didn't 🤡

"uh, what are you doing?" i asked them as they put off all their clothes. (liKE JACKETS AND STUFF !!)

"it's no school and we wanted to hang out with you i guess" chenle shrugged his shoulders. i looked at jaemin. "you carried the coke??"

he got shy, i could tell that. "y-yeah" he muttered and looked away. out of reflex i tackled him and pulled him into a tight hug. my smol 157cm did almost reach his chin. he returned the hug, a bit startled tho. awkwardly he patted my back.

"THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUILOVECOKEAAAAAHEGOTMECOKEWHATTHEHELL" i let go of him, screamed and jumped everywhere.

"suji- stop. ah- oWh"

"omg jeno why did you have to stand there :("

i coMPLETELY run him over. jeno fell backwards and i fell on top of him.

i don't know when, but he started tickling me, making me yell and laugh at the same time.

suddenly i the numbness came back.

i remember when i used to hangout with renjun each and every fucking day. after our teacher dismissed our class, i was assigned to clean the classroom. i took out the broom and sweeped the floor clean.

unexpectedly i heard a knock and turned around.

"hey" renjun said and moved towards me. "u-uh hey-"

"give it to me" he smiled. slow-witted as i am i was confused. "w-what?"

renjun chuckled. "the broom!"

"o-oh" i smiled awkwardly and passed it to him. he laughed. i watched him as he started sweeping again.

i looked around in order trying to find something to do to distract myself. the blackboard desperately needed a clean and so did i. "what are you doing here still, renjun-ah?"

"oh i had to hand in some stuff. then i saw you and thought it would be a good idea if i help you." "t-thankyouthatsverysweetpfyou" i mumbled.

"what?" he asked. "oh nothing" i told him. i checked every shelf if everything was stored perfectly, until i noticed a box on a place it didn't belong to. my smol ass couldn't reach it, so i used a stool. my balance was pretty good, until a loud donk startled me and i fell off.

renjun caught me before falling on the ground. we stared into each other's eyes for a long time. "are you ticklish?"

i got up and grabbed a coke. "did you also bring some milky for me?" i pouted really hoping they did. i am basically married to my coke but i'm in a relationship with my milky, and i would leave milky for energy and coffee 🤡 loyalty i don't know her when it comes to that.

oh did i mention boba ? bObAe. my godness.

"i wanted to, but jeno kept saying you're fine with coke too." haechan shot a glance at him.

"awhh :( it's fine tho i love coke. thank you all, you're being to sweet to me 🥺"

"well since you're our best friend and your heart was being brok-" chenle quickly covered haechan's mouth preventing from going on.

we had fun this night. we played a lot of games, either on consoles or actual board or card games.

"uNO !!" i yelled leaving everyone startled.

"may i go to the toilet?" i asked innocently.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"why are you asking it's your house what the heck suji" chenle said and jisung laughed at his words.

"just go, princess" jeno said and they picked up the game.

i was already in the hallway when i suddenly thought that i could easily take the empty bags of chips and stuff with me as i would pass the kitchen anyways.

"... been acting so off. and it hurts to see that." haechan said.

"i know right, she's not herself anymore. she's so broken. i know we wanted to fix her... but somehow we can't." that was chenle.

"yea, she suddenly disappears into her own world and starts acting weird." jisung spoke.

"she's crying all day. i can see that." it was jeno's turn to speak. "...she got so thin. it's horrible."

what nonono what do they say oh noo

"i think it's good for her though, that she doesn't go to school for now i mean. she's so weak and she needs a rest. but for both, renjun is heart broken too." jaemin told.

renjun is...

"yes he's been weird too" they all agreed. "we need to make them feel good again. even tho renjun is somehow dealing better with that."

... heartbroken.

too.

"but suji is very unpredictable. she spaces out way too often and her eyes get all watery. omygosh what did they do..." jeno spoke on, "i understand it's hard for her. we just have give her her happiness back. she needs to see the light again."
