I woke up with the sounds of loud knocks on my dorm door. I rub my sleepy eyes and get up from my bed as I remove my blanket. I look up at the clock, it read freaking 1:00 am. Who is here this late? Is it a murderer? I cautiously go to my kitchen and grab a container of wheat for emergency purpose. Then I creep towards the door and slowly unlock it. As soon as I open it, I hear a high pitch scream. "Y/N!!!" and that was it. A ghost. I yelp and by reflex throw the wheat straight at the persons in front of me and then I hear them coughing and a deep voice. "Ah Y/N have you lost it?" it sounded like Jisung. I open the door wide and see Chenle, Jisung and Renjun all covered in white, thanks to the wheat I threw at them and coughing.
"What... What the hell are you guys doing here?" I questioned astonished.
"At least welcome us in." said Jisung, still coughing.
I moved out of the way as they got in and Renjun closed the door behind. I examine them for a while, none of us speaking first as they were busy shaking off the wheat from themselves.
"I'll bring you guys some towel and... Uh... You three can wash your faces. There's the sink." I say pointing towards the washroom as they go in one by one to wash their faces and as they come out, I hand them a small towel.
After cleaning up, Chenle sighs. "Wow that's a good kind of welcome." he says.
"Well did you see the time!? I thought it's a murderer or a thief!" I exclaim with reason. "What are you three doing here so late?"
"Long story..." Jisung said. "Can we sit?" he asked indicating towards the messy couch.
"Oh yeah sure!" I say and move some things hurriedly as we plop down.
"Well since we didn't know the exact address to your dorm, we kind of lost our ways and we're wondering around for like more than an hour." Chenle said sheepishly and giggled.
"Oh god..." I say as I massage my temples.
Renjun who wasn't saying anything all this time suddenly seemed to mutter something to me, I couldn't quite make out. "What??" instead I shout loud.
"I'm sorry." he says with an apologetic look. Honestly, he had hurt me and I was still upset, but seeing him so sad was melting my heart.
"Forgive him Y/N. He's been repenting since the day you left! We all miss you!" said Chenle.
That was cheesy. Yet, I kind of liked it more than I thought. I pat Renjun's shoulder. "It's okay Renjunie... Maybe if I would've been in your place, it would've been hard for me too. I forgive you."
"Yayy happy reunion!!" clapped Chenle and Jisung and Renjun chuckled.
"So we're friends again?" asked Renjun and I nodded with a big smile.
Again I hear the door bell. I look awkwardly at the boys as they shake their heads. Even they weren't expecting guests. "Now who's it?" I whisper shout at them as they shrugged.
"Jisung go open the door." said Chenle.
"Eh?? Why me? It's Y/N's house! She should open it!" exclaimed Jisung.
"No!" I say hurriedly. Nope, I am not gonna open again.
"Yeah you go Jisung! We be screaming go! Go go!" I and Chenle cheered him on as Renjun pushed him towards the door. He gulped and opened it cautiously to reveal, Jeno.
"Jeno hyung? What are you doing here?" enquired Jisung. He was surprised.
"That's the question I should ask you and Chenle and Renjun!" Jeno said eyeing the other two inside. He was panting. Renjun giggled sheepishly and Chenle joined him.
"Okay but why are you panting so much Jeno? What happened?" I asked as he walked in.
"Me and Jaemin were searching for these three idiots all over the SM buildings and nearby shops!" he said frustratedly almost scolding them. My smile faltered at the mention of Jaemin. Yeah, it still hurt. The wound he gave me was still new.
"But then where is Jaemin?" asked Chenle dumbfoundedly and Jeno sighed.

(Jeno's POV)
(Flashback)
"Jaemin ah I think those three have gone to Y/N's new dorm."I said as I pointed towards the new quarters for the staff.
Jaemin nervously shifted his weight from one feet to other and shoved his hands in his pockets and he went on averting his eyes.
"What's it? Are you scared to face her?" I ask understandingly.
He nodded. "It's just... I have wronged her in a way I should've never done and..." he paused. "Her face. She looked so disappointed in me..."
I sighed. Well if it would've been anyone in her place, that person would have been disappointed but again, he doesn't really has feelings for her. He wanted to push her away indirectly. "So... You wanna say sorry to her?" I ask. "I do. But I don't know how she'll react in seeing me. God I feel so terrible right now!" Jaemin says as he clutches some of his hair in frustration.
"Just come. It's a simple sorry." I tried to convince him but my efforts went in vain as he shook his head. "I can't. Not now. I don't think either of us ready to face each other again. You go... I'll be waiting down here." he said as he stepped a few steps back. I spared him a last glance, if he might want to change his decision but when he did not say anything else, I went up.
(Your POV)
Jeno shrugged. "Eh... Never mind that. Let's just go. We need to go for our performances early tomorrow." he said, it was like he tried to dodge Chenle's question.
Renjun was constantly staring at me, as if he noticed how much excited, yes, excited I looked when Jaemin's name sprang up and how much I still wished to see him even if I hate myself for this. He might have noticed my expression going sad when Jeno did not answer anything about Jaemin. I huffed. "Guys I think Jeno's right. We can meet some other day and I need some sleep too." I fake laughed. "So bye! Good night!" I said as Chenle whined and the others waved at me. "Bye good night."
While going, Jeno gave me a curt nod and a half smile. "You're okay right?" he asked when he noticed the other three racing down the stairs. I nod in bafflement at his question. "Y-yes I'm fine." I say. He gives me a last look and says a silent 'bye' as he goes away.
I close the door shut behind me and retrieve to my room and fall on my bed. Again, Jaemin's thoughts flooded my mind but the others happy and caring nature came with it making me happy in my sadness as I drifted back to sleep.
