Chapter Seven

                                    

                                          

       Walking out of class I didn't expect to see Jongho right there. I smiled at him and excitedly walked over to him. He smiled at my enthusiasm and gently ruffled my hair as we began to walk together. 
      "How was class?" He asked while you guys headed towards the exit to the court yard. 
      "It was okay. My professor was in a pissy mood because her husband came home late and she thinks he's cheating." I say with a huff. Jongho laughs at my exasperated face.
     "Did she really share that with the class?" He wondered. I stifled a laugh as I nodded in confirmation.
     "Yeah, she ranted for a good 15 minutes before starting class and still expects us to be prepared for a quiz tomorrow despite it." I say, rolling my eyes at my teachers idiocy. She absolutely does not have a filter with a professional setting. It was quite annoying. 
     "That sounds awful. Other than that, how have your classes been?" Jongho peaks at you as you head towards the school gates.
     "Other than your typical notes and reading I had to do, it was okay. What about yours?" I smiled slightly at his interest in how my day has actually been. 
     "It was boring to say the least. I had a test in two classes and notes to take in another. I'm most excited about dance." Jongho says with a smile. 
      "Ah same, I heard some people say the instructor had an announcement for class today or tomorrow." I said. I looked around a bit as we were finally making our way to the gate and stopped in my tracks at a group of familiar males all standing together and talking. Jongho noticed I stopped walking and looked at me in confusion. He looked to where I was and had a look of confusion cross his own features. Before he could ask we heard his name be called out. 
     "Jongho! Over here!" San yelled out. You looked up at him and it clicked this was the friend San, Seonghwa, Mingi, and Yunho talked about. Before either of us could react, however Yunho and Wooyoung were running towards you two.
     "Ren?!" They both yelled at the same time before you were tackled into a hug between the two males. The others slowly walked over to me and Jongho as they looked between each other. 
     "Ahhh my favorite new friend." Wooyoung dramatically said while squeezing me. 
     "I knew I'd see you again!" Yunho fake cried out as he too squeezed me tighter. 
     "Alright, stop crushing my friend." Jongho said, still weirded out by this encounter as he pulled both boys off of my frame. I smiled gratefully at him as I looked back to the four boys who told me about their friend.
    "Jongho was the friend you mentioned?" I asked with a smile. Mingi nodded as Seonghwa spoke up.
      "Yeah, he was the friend we mentioned." He smiled at me.
     "Ah this is weirding me out." I replied, slightly scrunching my face up at this encounter. I couldn't deny how happy it made me though.
     "Why?" Yeosang questioned.
     "Because I met all of you at different times and yet now I find out you all know each other and are friends." I explained. 
     "Hey, Ren, how are you feeling?" HongJoong asked. This earned confused looks from the rest as I made eye contact with the male.
     "I'm okay, thank you again for helping me. I really appreciate it." I replied with a smile. 
     "Wait, what happened?" San asked. He looked upset something happened.
