To All The Boys I've Dated Before : DNYL Club

“What's wrong? Yn? Have something in your mind?” Chenle's asked, both of you right now are in quite a famous restaurant close to your dorm, you shake your head in response, “Nothing, there's nothing in my mind!” you answer quickly, too quick at that too.

“Is this about what happened last night?” he asked averted his gaze, he don't want to make you mad, but he couldn't forgot what he saw this morning, it never leave his mind, where have you been? Who have you been with? What's with that red mark on your neck? He had so many questions, yet each one fell short to his own thoughts, nothing could walk pass his mouth.

You didn't want to explain, at the same time you didn't want to lie either, so you just nodded, “It's okay, it's not my place to ask, btw do you know about those new club? I think it's DYNL something? They said that club is for all the heart broken people, they often tell stories from other subscribers of their podcasts too.” he explained, showing you the brochure, you look at the brochure, finding them amusing. DNYL?

Sounds just like what you need! Maybe you could even learn how to solve this lovesick problem of yours!

.

Maybe not, as you saw someone across from you, he is busy holding some sort of card, with headphones on his head, his mole under his eyes smile along side his eyes every time he talked to his friends in the podcasts room, it's none other than Jeno, great! Just a luck.

He finds your figure, his body tenses. He look around and seeing no one noticed you were there, he stands and move from his seat, his face weren't really friendly, as he guided both of you out from the club room, “Ow! That's my hands!” you squeal in pain, his face calm, “Why are you here? Is it about something that's happened last night? We already agreed to not mention this.” he asked, his eye smiles already gone, totally like a different man from the previous one, “I'm not here for you! I'm here for the club.” you answered fast.

His eyes softened, but still full of doubt until he saw the brochure on your hands, he finally let go of your hands, “Why do you even want to join this club anyway, you look like you are doing fine, since you had like idk? 7 ex?” he asked sarcastically, clearly mentioning your ex just for watching what your response gonna be, your brow raised, “I guess you really interested in my life huh? After you just left me alone cold last time i saw you.” you respond with a straight face.

“We broke up almost 3 years ago, i think it's time to let go isn't it?” he groaned, you look at him with full of rage, how dare he mentions the past? He is the one who left you without explanation, how can he mention that so brazenly. “Oh i don't know, maybe 7 relationship take a toll on my mental health and all i need right now is a support?” you bite back the urge to punch him, you walked past him toward the club room, Jeno followed you inside, as you apply for the club activity.

He sat down, across from where you sat, his eyes never leaves, you didn't even spare a glance at his ways to busy socializing, until you saw a guy next to you, he looks very attractive, “Why? Is there something on my handsome face? Haha,” he joked caught you by suprise, you shake your head, he chuckled at your cute expression, “I'm Jihoon btw, you?” you gasped, Jihoon as in Park Jihoon, isn't he from the theater department? You shake his hands, “Y/n, you joined this club too?” you wondered how can Jihoon be in this club considering he is one of the most busy college student you could ever known.

From being a college students, to students that do modelling, even acted in one of the famous netflix movies, he even do charity activities, “Hehe, I've been a member since June, glad to have new people coming when i joined this club only has 5 members, btw i joined the same time as Jeno, do you know him?” your face turned sour, Jeno and his popular agenda again, he looks at your sour expression and understand it very quickly, “I guess you don't really had any best memories of him huh?” he muttered, you never agreed so fast.

Jeno on the corner of his eyes saw both of you smiling and giggling, he never saw you that free, and that smile, your face always looks like you want to punch him, but with him? You look the happiest, he feels bitter at the thought, even though Felix had been trying to get his attention, “Yo mate, what's wrong?” Jeno eyes wavered, and finally caught Felix trying to get his attention, “Nothing, there's a lot of new members lately.” he exclaimed, Felix look around and nodded, “Yeah, it's been thriving, it used to be only 5 people when i started this club, now it's almost 12 isn't it nice? You get to know new people!” he added, just when he was about to continue his yap, he saw Jeno wasn't really paying attention to his conversation.

He follows Jeno's eyes, his left brow raise, understood what's going on, “That's your ex isn't it?” Jeno quickly get back to his consciousness, “How do you know?” he asked taken aback, “How can i not? Her tweet about her and her seven exes are trending on twitter, and one of them was you right?” he showed his phone, Jeno shake his head in embarrassment, his face turns to shade of red.

It gets a lot of attention, especially his part. He could feels this weird glances every time he came to class, even to his cousin's bar, he could still feel the glare from people at the back of his head, Jeno walked up to you, he looks at you. No, more like glaring at you, and he tries his best to be intimidating towards Jihoon, he just smiles at the sight, Jeno takes your hands to follow him outside, you tried to shake it off, but nonetheless he dragged you out anyway, Jihoon could only chuckle.

“What's wrong with you?” you cursed, slap away his grasp on your hands, he looks at you at first full of anger, but then his eyes turn soft, too soft, his pupils started to dilate, as he makes this weird puppy eyes, “You left me last night and now you won't even say anything? I feel like a mistress leaving cold after used..” he started making up this weird excuses, your eyes get big at the rumor, you don't want people to hear, you already have bad reputation from the last tweet you post, “Don't talk about that!” you said, he nodded.

“You should be responsible for me!” he threatened, you look at him in disbelief, Him? What part about him needed to be responsible about?! This is the guy that you had more than once intimate relationship with, he asked for responsible?? “Are you serious right now? You basically sleep with anyone who knows how many have you slept with for the last 3 years!” he gasped and started making this hurtful expression, “Gaspp! But you are my first, You are the only one! You virginity taker!” now he just seems full on blown, what kind of stupid rumors is that?! “Fine fine! What do you want?! Money?” he looks at you disappointed, “Money? Do i really look like a mistress to you?” you sigh, “Be my partner, DYNL have this usual club activities where we will go on trip to interview couples in Valentine day next February, so until that trip you have to be my partner in making the proposal for this club activities.” he asked, proposal? You already had so much in your mind, but you agreed anyway.

Eps 1. Tangled In Time.

╰─..★.──────────────────╯

“Can I Be Him?”

Renjun can't seem to focus today, his sight have been fixed on this one girl with her head hung high, yet at the same time her gaze aren't focus to the front, his hands fidgeting waiting for his name to be called, here's the thing. Renjun are always the top of his class and the whole class in his semester, so he had been waiting to be called to the front to accepting his certificate.

Yet his name weren't called, 20 minutes in.. And none. He started to think that there's something wrong with the mic of his school, can't even wait to curse between his breath, “This school and their unprofessionalism,” he shakes his head in disappointment.

His eyes landed again, on the girl in front of him. He didn't know what this girl doing with his mind, he just can't take his eyes off of her, which is you.

You on the other hands, your eyes, your act, mimics the guy that are quite close yet far from you, there's a space between both of you, he is smiling, why? Why does he smile for? Your head hung low, you don't want to seem pathetic, yet your minds are clouded with questions, why? Why does he decided to do that to you? You look around didn't want to make it seem noticeable, when your hair ties break, great. Just what you like, your hair falls gracefully.

You look back, Renjun couldn't move, so does you. His eyes are full of stars, like he just saw a stars exploded in front of him, he bend down, taking the hair ties that broke, giving it to your hands, for the first time in your life, you swore you just witness an angel, pretty yet delicate, you thank him. He didn't gave you any feedback, you look ahead again, this time in annoyance, “Jerks.” you muttered under your breath.

Your first impression of Renjun might not been the best, yet it's different for him, he felt like something about how your hair falls, how the winds played softly with your hair, how your eyes holds more than all the beautiful light he often see on galaxies, his world's have flipped, you have flipped him.

“I'm sorry for the delay, we will announce the best student of this semester is.. Oh, didn't expect that there's change, Miss Yn! Came to the podium to accept your certificate and gifts.”

Renjun's ear feel like it just heard elephant could fly, which is something impossible. As much as he desires you, and your pretty aura, he just can't believe that someone are actually sitting on his throne, the throne he had been working hard on for entire years since he come to this school, those records, those goals he had, are vanished.

In an instant, your figure disappear as you move to the front podium, he felt jealous. He should be, weirdly as much as he hated the thought, he almost seems like he can tolerate, he should've been jealous, someone takes what he prizes the most, yet he didn't feel much other than losing, it didn't hurt him much, how? Who are you?

When you get off from the podium, his eyes follow you short, he felt like there's only you and him in this big Hall, he tried to averted his eyes, but he can't, “I'm sorry you have been watching me for a while now, is there something wrong with my face?” you asked, he tried to denied, “Nothing, why would i look at something unpleasant?” he didn't meant that, as always.

Renjun never understand why does he always do this, why can't he be honest with himself? Why can't he tell you how he feels, yet at the same time, he didn't even know your name, you didn't know his name, both of you are stranger, yet he felt like you are going to play a role in his life, a big one, an uninvited character he didn't asked in his life, the question is whether you the resolutions, or the conflict.

“You don't need to tell me that.” you sulks, goes back to your previous position, this time Renjun name getting called, to receive his gifts and certificates, he walks proudly, he heard thousands of words, thousands of claims, he didn't care. He's used to it anyway, he is used to people making stupid remarks about him, he never really have much energy or reasons to care, until he could feel your gaze on him, he felt like he just became a stone, that random realization hits him like a dump truck, he asked a lot of questions in his minds..

Do you make those kind of remarks about him too? If that's true then you are just the same like the others, or do you listen to those remarks? What if those remarks change your views of him? Just like how impressions lasted longer on some people, he tried to peeks at the corner of his eyes, you didn't talk, nor making any remarks, you didn't listen either.

He gets to the podium, receiving his gifts and certificates, he had tons of those, he didn't understand why is he so focused on this thing, this certificates and stuff. He talks for a bit, giving his gratitude towards the teacher, yet his ears are clogged, you are all he could see from the top of podium.

You look very beautiful with the sun light, your hair become translucent under the afternoon sun, the light leak through the windows making the soft dust around your silhouette shine, among the many people, you shine brighter than the sun itself, he smiles, very warm one. But it's a short one, since he realized your gaze weren't on him, his eyes followed your gaze, you look at someone's else, that wasn't him.

that's when he realizes..

You do play an important role in his life, but he didn't play in yours, this is the moment when Renjun realize, he wasn't the lead in your story, he is the pages, not the main part of your book.

After his speech he went back to his position, your eyes are still lingering on this guy he doesn't even know his name, who is he? Why him? He didn't even joined any competition but why do he felt like he already losing?

He could feel all the bad feeling he couldn't describe go from his minds up to his throat, he wants to throw up, he hate this uneasy feeling, is this jealousy? Or is this how it feels to be in unrequited love feels?

Eps 1. Stories Left Unfinished.

╰─..★.──────────────────╯

When was it?

The last time I feel it, was 2 years ago, in a whirlwind of the paintings, your presence caught my eyes, colored in the beautiful colors of navy and violet.

Jaemin were starstruck at the unfamiliar figure next to him, a nameless person was standing next to him, admiring the painting as she goes, but she weirdly look sad, like holding her tears, Jaemin doesn't understand.

The art was there, yet his eyes were nowhere at there, it's like as if Jaemin were in a romance drama, suddenly your presence are much more intriguing than the painting itself, he was surprised to see someone this late at night.

He usually go to this art gallery, the art gallery open late at night until morning, nobody was there except both of them, the silence so quiet yet so loud at the same time.

Her wailing were echoing through the room, if the painting have ears, they would probably cover their ears by now, she only stopped crying after tinnitus at her head rings.

Jaemin stopped looking, he doesn't want to make her feel uncomfortable, she muttered under her breath, a words he couldn't heard.

Her eyes swelled, puffed after crying, Jaemin smiles, he found that cute, she have a really beautiful crying face, not to be creep of course, he just think your face delivered your feelings very well, he knew that wail, he have that before, a year ago, at the same spot, in this art gallery exactly at midnight, that's why this place had been his favorite go to after that.

He wonders if you feel the same, how does she found this place? Does she stranded on here like he used to one year ago? One thing for sure is that he felt a very deep condolences, like he wants to comfort you, maybe a simple pat in the back, “Are you okay?” he muttered a courage to asked.

She wipes her tears away, “I'm fine, sorry, I might be bothering you, I found this art gallery 10 minutes ago.. I don't know such place exist.” he smiles, so she is also stranded like how he used to be, he takes a handkerchief from his jacket, giving it to the unfamiliar somebody, “It's okay, is there something wrong?” he asked again after getting the consent that the other person do want to talk with him, she sighs a bit, hesitating if she should tell this stranger somebody she just met.

“I just broke up, my boyfriend cheated on me.” she decided to gamble and answered, Jaemin look at her sympathetic, “That's must have been hurt, are you okay?” he asked as he looks at you worry, your hair wet, probably from the rain before, your outwear looks very soaked and uncomfortable.

Jaemin do what most gentlemen would do, and taking of his jacket, she looks at him surprise, “Ah no need for this, it's fine..” she tried to refuse, but Jaemin already wrapping the warm jacket on her, the warmth from the jacket giving her goosebumps, as she indulged herself into the warmth the scents of his parfume stick to her clothes, it's white musk and vanilla, and another scent, lavender? It's calming every inch of her neurons giving signal to her brain, she wouldn't forget this day.

“Thank you, I don't know how to pay you for your kindness today..” she mumbled, thinking how can a stranger that she barely knows helped her at her toughest times yet her loves ones are only causing her pain, Jaemin chuckled, "No need it's the least I can do.. Let's just say I'm helping the past me?” she tilted her head at that answer, what past? She thinks to herself.

“You are very obvious,” Jaemin smiles, “Exactly today, it's my ex girlfriend one year remembrance day.” she gasped, this stranger had an ex? But what does he meant by that? Did they break up? What is remembrance day?

“It's been a year since she passed away, on an airplane crash.” he added, that's when it clicked, she quickly apologized even though she didn't do anything wrong, Jaemin shakes his hands gesturing to don't mind it, “It's okay.. It's in the past.. Sometimes I came here everytime I missed her, she loves art gallery, she's a painter btw, a very good at that too, she said she would love to held an exhibition someday.. But I guess she can't do it now?” Jaemin smiling but those eyes couldn't eye, they talk more than Jaemin words, he clearly missed her.

“I'm sorry for your loss..” you added, he shakes his head, “It's fine, I'm used to it.” Jaemin remarks, and then he looks at you again, “Nice to meet you, stranger, we don't exchange names yet, may I asked what is it?” he asked again after a while, in which she replied after a lot of thought, “Can we just keep our names to ourselves? Not that I don't want you to know, I just felt it's much more comfortable if we don't know each other, that's why I said those, I didn't mean anything negative of course,” she reassured, Jaemin understand, it is much more comfortable when he doesn't know, but he does felt a bit intrigued about all of this. He felt like he will knew her sooner or later.

That day was cold, it's midnight after rain in the afternoon, the only sound that could be heard through the corridors room of the art gallery were the sound of their breath, as they admire the painting in front of them, Jaemin decide to pick up another question again, he seems to be very interested in this somewhat stranger situation.

“Say.. You have been in relationship before then? Is this your first or?” she thinks to herself, “No, it's my fourth..” Jaemin gasped. “I'm sorry..” she laughed at the harmless expression.

“It's okay, it's a lot isn't? Yet none of them actually stayed.. I fall too hard, and get hurt a lot.. All I want is a simple relationship, where both of us can stay with each other for long, I can't even get past a year how am I supposed to stay that long?” she explain, Jaemin nodded his head understanding.

“I get it, it's must've been painful, you know being hurt by your love ones more than once, I wish you won't experience it again actually..” Jaemin sympathise, wishing you a long and happy relationship ahead.

“It's late, should we head back now?” Jaemin said, as he looks at the watch on his hands pointing it's past midnight already, “The magic are going to wear off,” he joked, you laughed, “What magic?”

“Oh you know, the peace and content feelings you get in the midnight? I feel like midnight is a very cozy times, you don't have to worry about anything, you don't have to remember anything, it's like a new start every night, like as if you are in the middle of between a parallel line?”

That's soundes like a line from science fiction book, but she can't help it but beamed at the innocent thoughts, “You are right, it's a new start every day, like a reset?”

Jaemin nodded, “Like a reset of all of your worry and pain, the only thing you have now is your body and a new day ahead.” both of you talked a lot that day, until the visit are over both of you decide to part away as he drop you off close to your house.

“Let's meet again, hmm.. How about a nickname?” Jaemin suggesting, she accepted it faster than he thought, “How about we used a painting names? That would be fun!” he remarks joyfully, “Hmm.. For you, Ophelia?”

“Ophelia by John Everett?” Jaemin smiles, “Alright Ophelia it is! And you could be.. Eleanor by Frank Dicksee?”

“Nice to meet you Ophelia!” She greeted Jaemin happily, as Jaemin beamed and added, “Nice to meet you too, Eleanor.”

To All The Boys I've Dated Before : Headache.

Your head was aching so badly, you woke up in the middle of a familiar bedroom, with the pastel pink wallpaper all over it, your head feels like it's going to explode, you look around and caught a sight of your hand had been bruised covered by a lot of bandage all over it.

Huh, Weird.

You isn't usually the clumsy type, so this a bit shocking for you, you get up thinking of getting a sip of water because you could really use some hangover to wake you up completely, the glimpse of your figures on the mirror caught your attention.

You are a mess! (Not that you never one, but this is a mess mess type situation)

Your lipstick had been all over the place, your hair are tousled, every each strands of it is all over the place, and the horror in your face when I see a lot of small bruise like a tiny bite on your collarbone.

Each by each of last night scene play out in your mind, until you remember a man with blond hair was all over your face, you don't have to think pinpoint anybody else because you know very well who is that blonde muscular man.

“Jeno you fucker..”

Karina dialed you, she sounds worried with her tone half worried half relief that you are waking up fine, you muttered the courage to ask about last night, she hesitant as she take a deep breath.

“He walk you home last night that's all nothing more!”

You raised your eyebrows in disbelief, a simple walking home? With all this kissmark on you? Yeah aint no way, you had to interrogate her for more 5 minutes until she spills how last night you and him were all over the place, especially after playing those seven minutes in heaven.

You never want to facepalm your face hard, she even admitted that, before the seven minutes games there's also a spin of bottle game, and a dare of you to making out with him, the more you listen the more embarrassed you got.

“Thanks..” you said as you close the phone, you need your coffee, this morning had been too much.

—–—

On the other side of the line were your other ex, he was religiously looking at a polaroid picture of him and you back when you and him weren't a past things and actually in love.

“You know boss if you really miss her that much, ask her to get back together..” Xiaojun muttered, which Renjun respond with a slap at the nape.

“Ain't no way, we are done like years ago, getting back together? As if!” he exclaimed clearly bothered, yet his ears are turning red by each moment.

“Then at least stop using my phone to see her account will ya? You kept hesitating whether to like her post or not, it's annoying!” Hendery nagged as he stand besides the counter, Renjun tuck his two-toned hair back, “I paid to use your phone I can't even do that?” he ranting, unable to counter attack Hendery stopped trying and decided to stop talking further.

The bell rings, Renjun suddenly change into this sweet angel out of the heaven as if he doesn't just scolding his coworkers, he smiles brightly welcoming the customer, “Welcome to RCafe, how should I help.. Yn?” when his eyes realize the girl he was just contemplating about liking her post or not suddenly showed up at his door.

“One Caramel Macchiato.. Please?” your voice weak doesn't have any time to even pick a fight, RCafe is the only cafe within campus that opened up very early in the morning, Renjun were eyeing you up and down he looks worried, you look very pale and quite disheveled, when his mouth were opened to asked, a sight of a bruised on your collarbone stopping him.

“Oh. Alright, we'll bring it.” he quickly went back to the counter, his face red from angry completely pissed.

You tilt your head in confusion, he would usually fight back, but today he is specifically calm, like.. Almost too calm, you know that calm, here's the thing about Renjun, he never the type to talk what he is feeling, instead, he just show it and hoping for you to catch it, and as someone who had known him for quite a while that calm is calm before storm.

As you sat down, you could feel a glare against the back of your head, Renjun were death staring behind your ears like you are doing something very terrible to him, 5 minutes later Xiaojun came and bring your coffee, he smiles but not those ‘happy to see you’ smile but scared one, like there's a dagger up his throat.

You pick up the cup when a notes fell to your table, you look at it for a while, and look at Renjun, as he throw his face away, like a kid mad at his parents.

The cat sticker and the ‘RJ’ initals are enough to explain who is it, Renjun are like this, back when both of you are still in relationship every time he is mad, he would just sent you a note asking about things, but not always, it's just something he do out of jealousy.

So he is jealous now? That's explained his attitude, you rolled your eyes at the notes, drinking your caramel macchiato as you finished it you went to the counter to pay, you look at Renjun at the cashier, as someone who is the manager of the cafe you don't understand why is he so worked up? He had 3 people work under him, you payed the coffee and when you almost leave you look back and muttered a response.

“Btw, it's not your concern who I'm with. So stop doing this, don't make us more uncomfortable with each other shall we?” you smiled and left the store, he looks hurt abit about it.

Hendery look at Renjun and give him a Pat at his back, “Cheer Up boss.” was all he said, Renjun shake his head and sigh. “She's right, we are not in that type of closeness to ask about something so private like that..” as he said that, a single drop of water run down his face.

“Wait.. Jun, you..” Xiaojun look at Renjun, as he smiled but his eyes aren't.

—-—

You walked back to your apartment, you felt bad about what you said to renjun this morning, you awkwardly scratch your nape in guilty, you saw Chenle, you want to walk past him when he stop on your track, “Morning,” He said joyfully, you smiled back as response.

“Did you sober yet? Want to grab a breakfast together?” he asked, his eyes caught the bruise on your collarbone, he sighs yet he still smiled, “Wait here..” he went to his apartment, you bewildered.

He came back with cute bandages and a medicine, he gave you, you taken aback by it, “What's this for?” you asked, he pointed at your collarbone, “You have a lot of mosquito bites on your collarbone.” he added, you want to protest that it's not a mosquito bites, but he just silenced you.

“Can you please not tell me if it's not a mosquito bites? I think I would feel at least more better about it, a simple lie wouldn't hurts right?”

You look at him, you never understand Chenle, but one thing for sure, Chenle isn't very happy today, yet for you he tried to look as if he is happy.

You want to hug him so much, embrace him and tell him that it's all a mistake, and you would never do it again, but the only thing you could do was nodded your head, as your head hung low.

“Can you at least do one favor for me?” he asked, you look up and nodded fast, “Let's grab a breakfast together? Spare your day with me today, that's if it's okay with you of course.” he waits for your answer as you laughed.

Chenle you will always have a special place in your heart, the way he is adoringly asked you and his fidgeting at the thought sold it, you beamed “Of course, let's have a pleasant day together.”

To All The Boys I've Ever Dated Before : A Secret Behind Truth.

“Um.. Hi?” Jaemin asked, your foots freeze to the ground, what should you say at this point? Should you be mad? No.. It's not like Jaemin is Renjun, should you feel sad? No.. Unlike Chenle, Jaemin still is the bad guy, should you feel remorse? No. Unlike Jisung you didn't owe him any apology.

So why should you talk to this man? the man that left you alone in your apartment at 5 am in the morning after a break up text?

You hold dear your paper bag, Jaemin saw what you are going to do, so instead of standing on your way, he takes the hint and leave, he thinks it's for the best, because your snarls look like you can snapped his neck any moment, so he retreats.

“Let's talk sometimes later.. If the time allowed us.” as he left you alone in the cold night, at least unlike your other exes, he knows when to leave you alone.

You take another step, walking in the path to your home, as you reach there, your knees weak, your eyes empty, there's no words that could come out to your mouth, karina, winter and yangyang were shocked to find you look lifeless on your doorstep, this past week clearly are the tiring.

The day after wasn't as much pleasing, your lectures suddenly asked every each of your class members to go visit an exhibition held by your lectures favorite students, you like exhibition actually, but after what happened yesterday the idea of going somewhere else than staying at your bedroom and wasted your time on a games and drowing yourself in beer, like an unemployed seems very gullible for now.

The exhibition actually held quite close to the campus, and it's actually closer to your apartment than you think it would be, you walk past the convenient store that you visit yesterday.

Wait, Convenient store?

“Everybody pay attention, I want to introduce you guys to my favorite students from the photography major, Na Jaemin.” states your lecturer as he introduced the guy next to him, the one that you run away from yesterday night.

At this point should you even be surprised? The past week you have been running away from your exes, if all of them just suddenly showed up to your doorstep you wouldn't even be surprised at this point.

You lied of course, you would still be shocked, but not surprised.

“Hello everyone, i'm Na Jaemin, Sir Kevin, actually are my lecturer too in Photojournalism class that we as photography sometimes take, it's such a pleasure to be here to introduce my artworks to you guys.” Jaemin continued, as he ended his speech everyone start scattered around enjoying the artwork that Na Jaemin photograper took.

You look at the every each of the picture, and potrait, everything seems to be taken in a point of view of someone clearly in love, stated at the title of this exhibition actually, ‘Lingering Feeling Of The Past.’ you wonder who the muse for it, but they more you thought about it, you don't want to.

You know who it was, it wasn't you, that's for sure.

“I didn't know the one who held the exhibition today was Jaemin,” karina concern, as she whispered next to you, you shakes your head, “No worries, it's not like I didn't expected this.. But you know it's just, hard? Seeing your ex everywhere, kinda scary don't you think?” you spilled, karina nodded, “You met Jaemin last night didn't you? Is that why you look so terrified?” this time you didn't know how to answer.

“Yeah, I don't know.. Among all of the exes I had, I felt more confuse by Jaemin more than anybody, like something deep inside me scared of seeing him again?” you confessed, karina tried to console you by rubbing your shoulder, like a patting on the back.

“Are you afraid of something?” you contemplating for a bit, you are scared but why? Is what you would often ask yourself. “You know, i have a lot of fear, I'm afraid of heights, afraid of spiders, afraid of seeing people from the past, but it's not the fear that I can't handle, it's the thought of having to faced it first is what haunting me, like a nightmare that I often have to went through first before I fell deep into my consciousness.” you explained, it is true, you didn't care about the fear by itself, it's the thought of having to facing a fear is much more disturbing for you.

The way everything just found the perfect time to fit, it's like the universe were trying to set you up for something, and you don't know what it is, should you feel scared? What do other people do in this scenarios? That's the kinda question you asked yourself everyday in the morning.

As you look around the empty halls, and the artwork being hang on the walls, it's Jaemin’s someone you knew from the past, but everything seemed so unfamiliar, like watching your childhood movie and found a part you never remember before, some sort of mandela effect that you brain tried hard to solved, but remains unsolved, that's how Jaemin felt to you, he just seems like this mysterious people in your life that you never get to explore.

But one thing that is clear is Jaemin’s artwork, his photos, if eyes are the souls to someone heart, then Jaemin's eyes are the camera lenses that he used to take every picture that he showcases in this beautiful exhibition, every picture seems like it belongs to someone, someone you never met, but recognize.

“How do you like the exhibition?” Jaemin whisper lowly standing next to you, you startled and almost fall back to the ground, your eyes wide open, “You should never do that! What if I fall?” you furiously nagging him, he smiles away as a response, before reached out his hands for you to take, you didn't take it instead you stand on your own.

Jaemin look dissapointed but pull back his hands nonetheless, he knows you don't want to see him this very moment, but the idea of your figures in front of his are exiting enough for him, “Hi Karina, do you like the exhibition?” Jaemin change his questions to another person in the rooms, “It's beautiful, as you always do Jaemin..” Karina compliments, Jaemin seems very pleased.

“Mind if I talk i have private time alone with Yn?” Jaemin looks to Karina, as much as Karina wants to stay, she felt like both of you needs to solve this misunderstanding, so she walks away, leaving you alone at the corner with this man you used to spend a time with, you clicked your tongue in displeased, why does this man want anymore? Jaemin look at you with sorrow, you hate that looks, he seems to be pitying you or something.

“Don't look at me with pity, it's annoying.” you irritated, he nodded and changed the topic, “How's your life?” he asked, you respond shortly with a “Fine.” he tried to asked another question but cut short by none other than his friends who also works as his assistant, “Wait Lia. I'll be there in short.” as he answered, he looks at you “We should talk sometimes later.” and then he disappears in between the crowd.

You walked to another section, and found another secret compartment in this exhibition, you enter inside and found the lightning for this corner are different than the other, it's pinkish with a gradient of violets your eyes trembled at the translucent sight, there's six pictures and every each one were reminded you of one thing clear.

On the other side, Jaemin and his assistant Lia, had a talk in front of the gallery, “That's the girl isn't it?” Lia addresses the topic, Jaemin shocked to how Lia quickly catch the hints, as he beam in response, “You think so?” he chuckled, Lia continuing her questions knowing that she is totally right, “She had the same hair ties as in your picture, you know the one in the translucent room? The girl in that picture you took were her.” she added, Jaemin nodded, “Haha, you are so very correct.” Lia look at Jaemin and the sudden sad look he had on his face, “Then why didn't you tell her? That you still think about her? I see how you view her Jaemin, it's different than your uhm.. Other exes, she might be not in the picture, but she never left the frame.” Lia acknowledge, Jaemin stand there silent, “Maybe some secrets would be better than some truth?” Lia could only shake her head as a response.

On the contrary, you walked outside the exhibition, what was that?! Your head fuzzy from all the confusion, is this Jaemin way of mocking you? Is this one of his schemes? You don't know, you need to get your head out of it, you opened your phone, asking for Winter whereabouts, she replied saying she is the middle of band practices, and apparently winter band would be collaborating with another band, so you decided to go to the place, it was in music faculty of your campus, when you reach the room, your hand hesitated to open the door.

But you did anyway, and there is Winter, and Giselle both of them are in the same band, you remember it is for a event held by the campus and Winter being a great guitarist and Giselle decided to join, Winter band actually form not only with both of them, but the two member are actually on a band break, so they decided to collaborate with another band, when she introduced you to the band, you see familiar faces like Johnny, and when she introduces who the vocalist would be, that's when your pupil starts to shrink, as if it identifies a danger within reach.

“He is the Vocalist of NY Band, Lee Haechan.” Giselle introduces, your body froze, even the idea of hearing those names again causing shiver down your spine.

“Haechan.. Hi? Yn..” Your voice low, almost like grumble, he smile, you heard a crack deep inside your neurons brain, he smiles? Smiling? Did he enjoying this? “Haechan, hi Yn!” he seems excited, too excited to your liking, you hate those smirk, he always seem like he had knife under that jacket, those stupid leather jacket he always wear.

Your eyes twitched in discomfort, clearly not enjoying the view in front of you, Johnny tried to scold the guy next to him, but he just shrugged it off and grinning stupidly, “Btw.. I saw your thread, I'm sad that you think that lowly of me you know?” he tried to masked off his guilty by gaslighting you.

That ain't working anymore.

“Oh, I wonder why?” you grinned sarcastically, he pick off the sarcasm quite fast, “You could have say I was quite a good boyfriend at least.” he smirked it off, he probably thinking it's some sort of jokes you are playing but you aren't here to play, you walked away from the argument, there's no winning with that one arrogant fucker, so you decide to just watch them practice, it was going great, you hated at how good Haechan voices were, with how it fits Giselle you think if Haechan wasn't a jerks you would marry his voice individually.

In the middle of his singing his eyes found you, as he send you a wink as a signal, you shrieks, is he trying to charm you? No fucking chance.

The practice went well, you squeeze yourself at the back of the room, you wish you at least have a cigarette, but you don't even smoke, you need a strong liquor to hold you, you can't handle this man sober, talk about the devil, the Lucifer shown himself, he found you, as he beamed, you hate those idiot smiles he does when something stupid is up in his head, “Fell for me already?” he chimed in confidently, as if! Even in your wildest dreams you wouldn't think of it.

You can't handle his ass as you excused yourself, tonight you need to numb your head from all this annoying ex up your arse.

Winter followed you outside, as both of you went back to your units, Yangyang and Karina were already there, “I need alcohol!“ you shouted the first thing when you just came back home, both of them taken aback by the sudden information, “It's one of her stupid exes again..” Winter inform, Karina shook her head, Yangyang already typing on his phone, “Get ready ladies, I just book us one of the fun club on the whole campus! JohnYC!” you jump in excitement, JohnYC Is actually Johnny Cousin's Bar, and it's quite famous, so you quickly running towards your dresses tonight was going to be your wildest arch of your life!

On the other side of the line, especially in the JohnYC bar, sitting alone at while drinking his vodka, a tall figure with a beauty mark under his eyes, scanning the crowd around him, until another person came and disturbs his perfect alone time, “Jeno, when will you enjoy the bar?“ Jeno clicked his tongue, “This bar had been very boring lately,” he remarks, his friends on the other side smirked, “Oh, what happened mister charming? I suggest a bet?” his friends replied, Jeno eyes fired by the suggestion, “What Bet?” his ears perked.

“Easy, how about one night stand with the first person that entered through that door?” His friends suggesting, Jeno never backed down from the bet, “Bet, keep your 100 dollars bcs its going to be mine.” Jeno grinned.

You were eyeing the exterior of the bar, and it awwed you so hard, you wish you came here fast, you couldn't handle your energy as you ran towards the enter door, your friends followed you from behind, you showed the guard your IDs, and when you are allowed to be inside you squeal a bit, you missed this life.

As soon as you entered the door, an eagle eyes caught your presence, Jeno grinned turn into sour, he would never thought it's you of all people, when you found the naughty eyes that eyeing you, you couldn't be more brazen.

“Fuck.. Another one?!” Jeno looks at you clearly not enjoying the situation, how the hell he supposed to win the bet if the bet were you? Of all people. “I'm not going to win this one..” he whispered, clearly hated this idea even more.

You wail, your life genre had turned from a comedy romance to horror within a single week alone, what happened the next month? And a year? This isn't going to be a fun ride, but hey fastening your seat belt, because the roller coaster of this whole chaos just started and you are at the front seat watching this all played out.
