after a very embarrassing conversation between hoseok and the others at lunch, the bell rang, which meant lunch was over.

"you know what, you guys are pretty fun to hang out with," hoseok said, walking outside of the cafeteria with them.

"and you aren't as bad as we thought you would've been." jooheon added, smiling.

"so, elective class, right?" y/n popped in, wanting all of them to go already.

"yes, we'll see you guys soon!" minhyuk said, as everyone separated their ways. hoseok, y/n, and changkyun all walked to the elective building.

"i'll see you lovebirds later!" changkyun said, running off to this classroom. y/n and hoseok waved, and she just sighed.

"what's with the sigh?" hoseok asked.

"you plus them, you guys drive me nuts."

"why? they're funny, especially that minhyuk guy."

"yep, he's talkative, alright."

"that other friend of yours. what's his name, kihyun? he stayed quiet the whole time."

"yeah. he is introverted when it comes to people he doesn't know. but when we all hang, he loves to boss me around."

"you have a fun group of friends."

"fun, but loud."

the after school bell rings, and all the students file out of the classroom.

y/n walked out of the freshman building to see her boyfriend and her friends in front of it. she walked up to them, trying to scare them, but her plan didn't work; minhyuk poked hoseok's shoulder and pointed to y/n. hoseok turned around and saw her, his smile growing bigger.

"y/n!" he pulled her into a hug, swaying her left to right. the boys all awed at the couple.

"i'll see you tomorrow." he patted her head and walked in the opposite direction.

"our chae y/n grew up so fast." minhyuk said, wiping his imaginary tears and pretending to cry loudly. she just shook her head.

"seriously, you're so embarrassing." she hid her red face behind hands. while walking, some students recognized the boys, and they started to run to them.

"are you guys from that show 'no mercy'?" one girl asked. shownu nodded. "can i get a picture with you guys?"

the boys nodded as they started to take pictures with their so-called fans. y/n either stood on the side or was the one who was taking the picture. she felt a little hurt and jealous of her friends, as they were getting a ton of other students' compliments and love.

"changkyun oppa, you're so handsome!" another student yelled out, as the trainees and she tried their best get out of the crowd.

once they walked out of campus, the boys stopped to catch their breath.

"we just got a taste of what it would be like if we debuted." kihyun said, leaning on shownu.

"i can't believe that junior called me oppa." changkyun added on, gagging.

"those photography skills i had with the pictures i took of you guys, though." she joined, trying to fit in. "they were outstanding."

"sorry about that y/n." shownu apologized. "honestly, it was a surprise for us as well."

"the show released three episodes so far, so, understandably, you guys are well known." she told them. "but if it gets worst, my dad might have to put you all to online schooling."

"so more like homeschooled?" changkyun asked.

she nodded. "homeschool isn't fun; maybe the first couple of weeks it is. but when you continue, it gets boring real quick if you don't keep yourself busy."

"but it's from home! you are learning from home!" minhyuk argued.

"take soyou's word." she smirked, knowing that that's his celebrity crush. he stayed quiet for the rest of the walk home.

"and, i'll see you guys tomorrow?" y/n asked, walking away from the boys, who decided to walk her home.

"yep. bye, y/n!" the boys waved.

she smiled. "bye guys!"
