Night Chats

Although the party was over with everyone in their rooms sleeping, Mark, Ren, Jeno, Hajoon, Jae, Chen and Jihun were still very much awake. Being young and full of energy even at 4 in the night.

"Guy's are you awake?" Asked Mark into the darkness of the room. Mark, Hajoon and Jae had decided to come visit their neighboring room which was shared by Ren, Jino, Chen and Jihun just for some chit-chatting as they were not able to fall asleep.

"Yah! I think we should go back, they are fast asleep. let's not wake them up and go to sleep ourselves?!" Mark suggested not hearing a reply to his question from inside the dark room believing the four to have fallen asleep.

"Nope! Hyung now what we are gonna do is go in there and wake their old asses up. What are they 24-25?? They are already asleep this early?!" Hajoon sassily commented

"I agree hyung! If we don't do these midnight chats now when we're teenagers when are we gonna do them?? When we're adults?? Nah! I would prefer to sleep then and stay awake now!!" Jae countered

Thus, all three entered the room unannounced to wake up the four but found their beds empty. That's when suddenly the door to the room closed on them and they were covered in blankets. It scared the three to their core that they became screaming like some little girls inside a haunted house.

After a few minutes they heard laughter confusing the three who were busy being scared and dis-tangling themselves from the blankets covering them. Once free they saw Ren, Jino, Chen and Jihun standing in a corner of the room near the switch broad laughing their asses off. Apparently even the four had decided to go over to the latter threes room for a past midnight chat but ended up overhearing the three discussing the same so came up with this horror surprise for them.

Now they all were seated spreed across the floor with their backs to the bed chatting the night away about whatever came to their mind after cleaning but the trashed blankets and checking up on the other hyungs to see they had not woken up anyone in the process if so they would be in great trouble for still being awake this late in the night.

"Honestly me and Hajoon originally say let's just wait till we become adults whenever we fight over something. Thus, you know like what you see in a fighting scene of a gangster film." Mark started out by explaining his wish of doing anything they all wanted to do once they all become adults.

"So what are you trying to say hyung! Explain properly!!" Hajoon interrupted Mark, cutting his explanation short.

"For that Hajoon-nah, you have to keep your damn mouth shut and this time listen TILL THE END!!" Mark counters irritated with the latter already. They were like Tom and Jerry.

"So when we all become adults according to Korean Age, even Jihun, like when that day comes, we'll gather together on a rainy day, all 7 wearing black suits then go to the rooftop and have a fight! Like a fist fight!! What do you say?!" Mark finished explaining, finally able to gulp air happily as this time no one interrupted him because it's the way the 5 now 6 guys teased him although he was older than all of them.

"AH~ Like a cool scene from a movie, since we've all had this kind of fantasy, let's do this! Deal?!" Ren agreed asking the others for their saying but from the looks of it they were more than willing to do it now then wait for it.

Mark -"Yes! Let's do this!"

Hajoon- "Definitely Yes!!"

Jino- "More than happy for it!"

Jae- "Yeah sure."

Chen- "Oh sounds like fun hyung. Deal!"

Jihun- "So gonna be the victim here, but I'm in!!"

They were so excited that they were a mess now speaking over each other creating a lot of noise and waking up Young in the process who stormed into the room looking pissed off and kicked over Mark, Hajoon and Jae to their room to sleep and nagged the remaining four to go to sleep and it being too late into the night.

But Jihun was still not able to fall asleep so he turned around to look at Ren and Jino, he found them on Jino’s bed sleeping hugging each other. ‘Aw so cute’ Jihun thought and commented "Hah!! I knew it, such a sweet couple, JiRen.....NoRen yeah that’s way better!!” He spoke out loud to be heard waking up Ren in the process who gave him a death glare.

Jihun bent over to see his Chen hyung who was just staring at the lamp looking lost deep in thoughts. Jihun asked "Hyung you're not sleeping??" To which Chen replied "No I'm not sleepy at all…...Hey Jihun-ah you wanna get some fresh air??" He looked at Jihun who was nodding with full agreement.

So they went into the balcony of their room to get some fresh air. They were just stargazing, chit chatting here and there, when Jihun suddenly turned towards Chen to just admire the elder.

Jihun thought Chen looked even more beautiful, pretty and glowing then the stars that were in the sky that night. His heart skipped a beat again that time, he had even stopped counting how many times that had happened with him that very day.

That's when his internal debate started having double thoughts about if he was actually in love with Chen or was he just attracted to the elder. Jihun thought that it was just a minor crush of his as he was too young to feel love but felt a completely different bond towards the latter which made him even more confused.

Jihun was just staring at Chen but in reality was deeply lost in thoughts about the latter whereas Chen was busy staring at the stars above on that starry night unaware of the attention given to him. Jihun was then brought to reality by Chen patting him on his shoulder but still looking forward as he happened to see a shooting star and wanted Jihun to see it as well but didn't know Jihun was already in deep thoughts about Chen himself. But with Chen now shaking him as if there was an earthquake, Jihun had lost all his senses seeing the chaos, Jihun came back from his jumbled thoughts to reality but was still kinda out of it.

He then saw Chen pointing at the sky to which Jihun turned to look at the sky. But all he saw was a dark starry night sky filled with stars and thought perhaps it was the stars that Chen was trying to show him.

Chen then exclaimed “Ahh~~Jihun-ah!! you missed it, what are you so distracted about??"

To which Jihun was actually confused on what had he missed but he just wanted Chen to know about his feelings so he started with "No it's nothing hyung.....um...Hyung.....I wanna be FRIENDS yeah friends?"

Chen with a confused look replied " Weren’t we already friends??”

Jihun nodded his head explaining “Yeah no doubt we are but I didn't mean it in that way. I meant to say that as I call you hyung and talk in a formal dialect from now onwards let's be informal towards each other." Chen still looking confused agreed happily "OK I'm fine with it if that's what you want!! Yeah! Anyways we don’t even have so much of an age gap so lets do that."

Actually Jihun was about to confess his feelings to Chen but couldn't just say it, he thought it would be easy to confess as Jihun had always been straight forward in expressing his feelings but he guessed not so when it came to confess. Although he had the whole world's time with him he couldn't gather the courage to confess as he had this thought that what would become of their friendship that was just formed a few days before after Chen rejected him.

Chen was the one and only friend he had amongst the whole group of 18 trainees and he so didn't wanna lose his only friend just for the sake of his stupid feelings which he was still confused about. It was getting very late and chilly so Chen advised that they should now go to sleep.
