Narrator's pov

Chaeyeon groaned out loud when she realized she was now 20 minutes for her P.E class. Her sister didn't wake her up and left to work without her, leaving her with only one option. 

Tying her hair up into a ponytail and wearing a sweater with her jeans, she ran like her life depended on it. Ignoring looks from near passerbys, she managed to reach school within 15 minutes, not stopping when she reached it and heading to the field instead. 

She was glad that Sunoo showed her around yesterday or she wouldn't be able to find where it was located. She apologized to her teacher for being late and fortunately, her teacher forgave her. 

Chaeyeon squinted at the bright sun rays. It wasn't even noon yet but the sun shone as if it was. She brought her hand up to her face in an attempt to shield herself from the sun.  As if that wasn't bad enough, their exercise was to run 7 laps. 

Her eyes widened when she finally got a good look at the field, realizing how big it was. By the time they were done, almost everyone was exhausted, some were sitting on the bench and some scattered around, trying to catch their breaths. 

"Okay now that we're done the warmup," But Chaeyeon didn't even hear the rest of her teacher's word as she was busy mentally complaining to herself. 

When the bell rang, signaling that class ended, Chaeyeon mentally jumped in joy (because if she actually did she felt like her leg would fall off), thanking God because if she had to do one more exercise, she was sure she would lose it. 

"That was..." Sunoo muttered, too tired to even say another word as he sat down in his seat. 

"Exhausting." Chaeyeon continued. 

After a few minutes of resting, Sunoo forced himself to get up. "Come on, we have to go to the chemistry lab now." 

He grabbed her hand and she whined, nevertheless standing up. They got their books and any other necessary things before heading to the science lab. 

Chaeyeon was too busy complaining to the pink-haired boy to even realized her shoe-lace was untied. So it wasn't a surprise when she tripped on it. Chaeyeon closed her eyes and waited for the impact but it never came. She slowly opened and widened her eyes when she saw him. 

Platinum blonde hair, a small mole on his nose, and a sharp jawline. Chaeyeon couldn't even help but admire his out-of-this-world visuals. She swore she'd never seen someone this good-looking in her entire life.

"Ehem! Sorry to ruin your little moment but we have Chem class and we're gonna be late." Sunoo cleared his throat because they were staring at each other nonstop for like how long. They both snapped out of their thoughts and Chaeyeon dusted her cloth while looking away. 

"Thanks." She managed to say. 

"No problem." He gave her a small smile, his pearly fang showing. 

"Wow." sunoo rolled his eyes and just dragged the girl to the lab.. 

"Who was he??" asked Chaeyeon when they sat down. Of course, she was curious about him. He had this sort of alluring vibe around him and not to mention he was good looking too. She hoped his personality was just as good as his looks. 

Unlike some people.

Her eyes drifted to Yang Jungwon who paid attention to what the teacher was saying, writing down something after.

"Park Sunghoon aka one of Yang Jungwon's best friends," Sunoo answered her question. 

Again with his name. She couldn't understand why he had to be everywhere she was. They were neighbors and she was his seatmate. She could never escape him huh?

"Can't believe he's friends with that jerk. He seems so nice" said Chaeyeon, copying down the writings on the whiteboard.

Sunoo nodded, "He is. Well, he and his friends all are. How do you know Yang Jungwon though?"

"We used to be close." She stopped writing.

"Used to?"

"Yeah. Let's stop talking about him." She pressed her lips into a fine line and Sunoo nodded. He sensed that they weren't on good terms and he was more than right. 

🌼🌼🌼

"Bye Chaeyeon see you tomorrow!" yelled sunoo as he waved at her and she did too. 

Where is he?

Chaeyeon checked her phone for the nth time before remembering she didn't have his number or even his social media.

Since Nayeon would be busy, her mom told her that Jeongin would pick both her and Jungwon up, and even though she did not want to be in the same car as him, it was the best option because she didn't want to talk home either. 

Chaeyeon turned around and yelped when she found herself face to face with the devil himself. 

"You scared me!" She put her hand on her chest. A black car then arrived and Jungwon got in. 

Jungwon very badly wanted to sit in the front seat but since his brother's friend was sitting there, he had no choice but to sit behind. 

Chaeyeon got in the car and sat next to Jungwon. They were both trying their best to increase the distance between them and it was very obvious. The tension from that night was still there, and even Jeongin could sense it too.

He spoke up in hopes of easing the tension around them. "So how's life Chaeyeon?"

"Good."

"What about you Jungwon," 

"Good." 

'Well, that didn't go well.' Jeongin thought. 

"I see your brother has a girlfriend," said a deep voice. 

"No!" Both Chaeyeon and Jungwon said in unison. Jungwon glared at Chaeyeon, shuddering at the thought of dating Chaeyeon. Never, not even in his nightmares. 

"I would never date someone like her."

"I would never date someone like him." 

They both said in unison. 

Jeongin who found this situation hilarious, laughed out loud, his dolphin laugh resonating throughout the car. 

"I'm Felix by the way." The deep-voiced-man introduced himself.

"I'm Chaeyeon."

"I know, I've heard Jungwon talk about you all the time." said Felix as Jungwon deeply requestioned his life decisions.

"Mostly about how you're annoying and all but if you ask me, I think he just likes you" Jeongin whispered the last part. 

It was obviously a lie, about the last part of course, because almost every night since their mom told them the Im's were moving back in, Jungwon never missed a chance to complain to his brother about it. If Jeongin had a dollar for every time Jungwon mentioned Chaeyeon's name, he'd be NCT-Regular-level rich.

"No, I don't!" 

Still, he never missed the chance to tease his little brother. Throughout the whole car ride, Jeongin and Felix made her feel welcomed by conversing with her. 

While Jungwon who was already annoyed enough about this whole ordeal got even more annoyed (if that was possible) because Chaeyeon seemed to get along so well with his brother and Felix.
