"you okay?" mark asked me as he walks beside me. "hm? i'm fine.." i muttered as i sighed. i really couldn't sleep well, all i've been thinking was these codes and these cases to solve. we are sometimes given cases like these but, this is a real case that has real evidence and real problems. it's different from our classes.

my head was hurting a bit from lack of sleep. to be honest, i do not have a normal sleeping routine but since i'm a night owl, i barely sleep at night. in my ol d school, classes start after lunch until 2AM which sounds fine since some of us have our brains working during the night hours. but i guess my head is hurting because i've been nonstop using gadgets.

"you don't seem fine." he muttered as he nudged me. i looked at him, forcing a smile, "i'm fine. really." i chuckled.

he rolled his eyes, technically not believing me. "by the way! sit with us during breakfast today." he grinned as he grabbed my hand and started to pull me towards the cafeteria.

"i actually don't eat breakfast.." i uttered which made him stare at me in disbelief. "are you serious?" he raised a brow and i nodded. "why not?" he tilted his head to the side. i shrugged, "it just became a bad habit of mine." i told him.

"no wonder you're so thin." he said before pulling me inside. haven't i told you this? but the dream team are pretty popular in school.

"took you guys long." renjun mumbled as the two of us finally found their table. "here, this is for you." renjun gave her a tray as well. "i—don't eat breakfast." i told him. haechan flicked my forehead which made me wince at the sudden pain. "hey!"

"tsk, breakfast is very important. eating is very important. now eat." haechan made me take a seat as he intensely stared at me, waiting for me to take a bite already. i looked at him weirdly, "you're really creeping me out." i told him.

"he's not gonna stop unless you eat though." jisung told me. i rolled my eyes, "sheesh fine, i'll eat." i mumbled as i scooped some of the food and plopped it in my mouth. "satisfied?" i turn to look at haechan as he nodded. "yes, very."

"what's taking the other two so long?" mark asked.

"probably doing something?" jaemin shrugged.

"nayoung told me she had some errands to run for some teachers." jeno stated. "how about heeyeon?" mark asked. "well, i think she's still at her dorm. probably doing girl things." jeno uttered.

"you should eat more." haechan placed a shit ton of junk-foods in front of me. i whined, "are you kidding me? i'm already full!" i told him. he shook his head, "you should at least have some fat on you."

i glared at him. few minutes then the first bell started to ring. "time for class! let's go, weijung." jeno grinned as he grabbed my hand. "lucky we're classmates!" jeno said.

"wait—we're not classmates with jaemin and renjun right?" i questioned him as he gave me a weird stare, "what? no. they are from the other class." jeno stated. i had a puzzled expression on my face, "t-then.. how come they came in our classroom last time." i mumbled lowly.

jeno pulled me into class as i saw lele already there. he didn't seem to notice my presence as he was pretty busy with his sketches. i sat down, that when he finally noticed me. "you came in with jeno?" he questions me. "uh, yeah." i nodded. he sighed, "i miss them.." he mumbled, quite loud enough for me to hear.

"hey lele, what are you sketching?" i asked him. he suddenly froze as his cheeks reddened, did i do something wrong?

i froze when she called me lele. i'm fanboying, it's so cute! "are you okay, lele? are you sick?" weijung bombarded me with questions as she reached to touch my forehead which made me flinch at the sudden contact. "a-ah, i'm fine. perfectly fine." i muttered.

i haven't really found much information about her. but, she's interesting. that time when the window pane fell. i was about to save her when jaemin came into the scene. i was quite worried when i saw that huge scratch on her leg. it must've hurt a lot.

"hey, lele? why aren't you answering me?" i got caught off my thoughts when she clicked her fingers in front of me. i turn to look at her as i faced her with a smile, "sorry, my thoughts took over." i then heard her chuckle.

"you know, you should tell me your full name soon, lele." she told me. i shook my head, "i like being called lele though. it's cute when you say it." i muttered. she froze, i chuckled. "you should probably study for the english quiz we're having." i told her as i took out my notes and handed it to her. "here, i'm done studying." i said.

she looked at me weirdly before shaking her head, "i've done my studying." she uttered before bitting her lip. i squinted my eyes at her, i could tell she was lying. "stop lying, study." i told her. she groaned, "okay fine, dad."

i laughed as i continued my sketches. the teacher arrived as we all started the quiz. after the quiz there was math next then lunch time. 2 hours passed by quick as i looked at my side to fine weijung asleep. i gently poked her side, trying to wake her up. i tilted my head, "geez, she's quite a heavy sleeper." i uttered and ruffled her hair. that's when she finally moved. "i'm not usually a heavy sleeper." she yawned as she stood up, blinking.

"really?" i furrowed my brows. she nods, "i'm just really tired today." she huffed.

"do you perhaps.. wanna have lunch with me at the rooftop?" i asked her, nervously waiting for her reply. she hummed before nodding, "i'd love to." she grinned. i nodded before pulling her with me to the rooftop.

"here, i brought extra with me!" i told her as i handed her a lunch box. "oh, you didn't have to, but thank you." she softly said. i ruffled her hair, "no need."

i saw her looking at the back, that's when she stood up and walked towards the corner. she shook her head, opening her bag. she took out a camera and snapped some pictures. "what is she doing?" i furrowed my brows as i curiously watched her. she took out some ziplocks and grabbed something shiny from the ground before putting it inside the ziplock. she also placed some stuff in the ziplock before going back next to me.

"what was that all about?" i asked her. she shrugged before chuckling, "research purposes."

"research? as far as i know we don't have such things to do like a research." i told her. she shook her head, "it's for the dream team." hearing that made my knees weak. "y-you're the new member?" i looked at her shocked.

she nodded, "took you time to notice that, zhong chenle."
