JAEMIN

Haeun walked inside the restaurant as one of the waiters led her up to the private booth.

The waiter knocked on the sliding door before opening it.

"Hey, guys." Haeun smiled.

We, for some reason could not believe that the woman standing in front of them, was in fact, Haeun.

"Who are you and what did you do to Haeun?" Donghyuck asked.

"Shut up." Haeun raised her purse, motioning to hit him.

I got up from my seat and pulled a chair beside me for Haeun to sit.

"Why, thank you, Jaemin." She smiled, taking a seat beside me.

She threatened to hit Donghyuck again. "Learn something from Jaemin."

"He's being so nice to someone for the first time." Mark said.

"No way." She said. "I heard Jaemin is a sweetheart."

"Who told you that?" I laughed.

"Well, you are to me." She said, playfully slapping his shoulder.

"You two seem to have gotten a lot closer than I thought you'd be." Donghyuck said.

"Aw, are you jealous?" Renjun laughed.

"Ew, why the hell would I be jealous?" Donghyuck fake gagged.

Haeun poorly mocked Donghyuck.

I laughed and shook my head "You both fight like siblings."

She shrugged. "So what's the special occasion for tonight's dinner?"

"Nothing special." Jeno said. "We just like to have dinner like this sometimes."

"Especially, when Jaemin insisted that we invite you." Donghyuck said.

"I did not!" I gasped, my cheeks heating up.

Haeun playfully rolled her eyes before grabbing some food to eat.

"By the way, noona, I saw your pictures." Chenle said.

She choked on her food. "My...my pictures?"

I poured a glass of water and put it in front of her so that she could drink. She grabbed the glass and slowly drank the water.

"Yeah, the ones you edited that day." Donghyuck said.

"Oh, those." She coughed.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

Haeun nodded. "I just got startled for a second."

Jisung changed the topic to something random and we all started eating and chatting.

I had been eyeing a particular dish that was kept on the other side of the table for quite some time and Haeun seemed to notice that. She asked Donghyuck to pass the plate.

Donghyuck handed the plate to her and she served some of the dish to me and I looked at her.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"Eat up." Haeun smiled back.

"What's up with you?" Donghyuck asked. "Why are you so nice to him?"

"I'm always nice to people who are nice to me." Haeun scoffed.

"You're never nice to me." Donghyuck pouted.

"When have you been nice to her?" I asked.

"I see." Donghyuck narrowed his eyes. "Jaemin has officially replaced me, y'all."

"You've saved yourself, Haeun-ah." Mark nodded.

"Oh, I know." Haeun nodded back.

"Go ahead. Tease me all you want." Donghyuck muttered.

Haeun laughed, and wrapped her arms around his shoulder, hugging him.

He laughed back, his hand snaking around her waist as he hugged her back.

I noticed his hand and looked away, continuing to eat my food quietly.
