"WONWOO ARE YOU OKAY?"

the boy was in seungcheol's arms, pale and unconscious while seokmin ran towards wonwoo and shooed the leader away. "i know what should be done!" seokmin announced and the boy down on the ground

seungcheol shook his head "i swear, seokmin, if this is a joke, i will—"

"SSHHH!" seokmin cut him off and proceeded to loosen wonwoo's belt and his necktie. then he raised the boy's legs above heart level and felt his neck to find the pulse.

"is there a pulse?" mingyu was panicking

"no, he needs cpr. who knows how to do it?" seokmin asked and nobody raised a hand. seungcheol grabbed his phone and searched for steps on the internet "here, i got some steps for cpr—"

"i know how to initiate cpr, i just asked y'all in case someone else wants to do it," seokmin muttered and knelt down next to wonwoo, placing the heel of his hand on his friend's chest before using the weight of his whole upper body weight to compress after some time, he tilted wonwoo's head and lifted his chin to open the airway, leaving the mouth to fall open slightly. mingyu covered his face once seokmin pinched the boy's nose and placed another hand on his chin for support.

"here goes nothing," seokmin mumbled and inhaled before giving rescue breaths to wonwoo. at that moment, we were all nervous because if seokmin fails to do it properly, things might get worse. but when i caught wonwoo's chest rise, i knew it was working. seokmin did more chest compressions until chan shouted, "HE'S AWAKE! HE'S AWAKE!"

"what happened?" wonwoo spoke softly as mingyu rushed next to him, letting him rest his head on his lap.

"thank you so much," seungcheol hugged seok. the other boys did too. after a few minutes of rest, we told wonwoo everything that happened and it took him a while to process everything inside his head. then he told us that it was just an effect of what he did since there's 13 people that he casted a spell on and he's quite inexperienced with magic, unlike jiwoo. because wonwoo focuses more on the mystery and science side of occult club rather than the actual rituals.

"how the hell did you even know first aid, seokmin?" joshua asked

"you guys always laugh at me because i say crazy stuff, like that menstrual protection spell and the nonexistent echoes of ducks' quacks but the thing is, i actually know and read some serious stuff too! i just don't blurt them out because it'll be boring," seokmin replied

"thank you, seokmin. you're a fucking lifesaver," wonwoo told the boy

"i'm hungry, should we go eat?" chan asked "my tummy is growling."

joshua laughed and ruffled chan's hair, "my mother is back with some food. come on, wonwoo needs to regain his energy."

joshua's mother excitedly ran towards me when all fourteen of us stepped inside the dining room. she cupped my face and pinched my cheeks, "minseul, darling, i haven't seen you for so long and now you're all grown up!!"

the boys chose their seats around the table and i was left with the adult. "oh minseul, you look so pretty, i'm not surprised about why my son likes you!"

out of nowhere, soonyoung started clearing his throat. the boy was staring at me as i chuckled awkwardly, "uhm, i don't think your son likes me—"

"oh he does! he does! jisoo, where are you honey?"

joshua shouted from the second floor, "i'll be there in a second, mom!"

the lady stroked my hair and rested her hands on my shoulder "i can't wait to have you as a daughter in law." soonyoung coughed loudly and all eyes landed on him. "we have a cough drop there honey, you can have it," joshua's mom told him, but he only crossed his arms.

"i think i should go join the boys now," i beamed at the woman and she just gave me a nod.

"i can't wait to have you as a daughter in law," soonyoung mocked while some of the boys held their laughter in. i hit the boy's arm lightly, "hey, stop mocking."

"hey stop mocking," he repeated "i shouldn't have gone here."

"why? because hong's mom ships your girl with her son?" hansol chuckled

"wow brilliant," soonyoung clapped his hands, "i didn't know that, hansol vernon, thank you very much."

"stop being so salty," seungcheol added "we all know that jisoo and minseul is over."

"oh minseul, i forgot!" missus hong walked towards me "joshua and i are going to ganghwado later at evening, would you like to come? your house is just next to ours so i bet it wouldn't be such a hassle—"

"she lives in my house, miss," soonyoung interrupted and grabbed my hand, "we're a couple."

"oh," jihoon muttered, then soonyoung winked at him.

on the other hand, joshua's mother was taken aback by what she was told. she placed her hand on her chest, "oh, well then i'm sorry, jisoo's friend. um, what's your name?"

"kwon soonyoung."

"ah, yes, soonyoung," she smiled "i'm sorry about that, i thought minseul has a thing for my son."

"she used to, but then she met me," soonyoung replied. oh my god.

"are you trying to say that you're way better than—"

"i'm here! sorry, i cleaned the attic," joshua announced as he stepped inside the kitchen. his mother didn't bother to continue the talk with soonyoung so she just served the food on the table and we all fell silent.

"we love our bread, we love our butter. but most of all, we love each other."

then we started feasting on the food. the boys were talking about random stuff and i noticed that soonyoung wasn't saying a word. he just kept eating and eating until he felt full. "are you okay?" i asked

"yes, but i still can't believe that joshua's mom told you that josh likes you. what if he still does?"

"soonyoung, that's like, 500 decades ago. joshua doesn't feel that way anymore."

seungkwan interrupted, "what are you talking about?"

"you don't have to know."

"is it about jisoo's mother?"

soonyoung sighed, "yes, it's about that. do you have a problem? are you a shipper too?"

"oh no no no," seungkwan replied "i was just curious, sorry.

after eating, we were led to the living room to watch a movie. but before everything else, missus hong wanted me to take a picture with joshua. her son protested, but it was no use. i stood beside him and awkwardly smiled.

"hold hands, hold hands!"

"oh please—"

"joshua hong, i'm your mother. now hold hands with her!"

joshua locked hands with me and we both smiled at the camera. it took about three flashes before we were done. i made my way back on the carpeted floor next to soonyoung who looked like the world has abandoned him. "i'm sorry," i poked his cheek

"jihoonie, do you like me?" soonyoung ignored me and talked to the boy beside him instead

"no."

"i'll treat you food, do you like me now?"

"k."

ugh, why does this have to happen with soonyoung around? i don't even know why joshua's mom is unaware that her son doesn't like me in that way anymore. joshua clearly changed and it's quite obvious that we're slightly awkward towards each other because of the past. how can she not see that?!

horror movie was a bad idea because i couldn't even touch soonyoung or cling to his arm when i'm scared because he's too busy ignoring me. i had to fold my legs and rest my head on my knees and suffer for every jump scare.

junhui, who was next to me, put his arm around my shoulder and asked "if your boyfriend is being a little bitch, you can always go to your big brother, am i right?"

"thank goodness."

as we watched, soonyoung kept stealing glances and whenever i look back, he averts his eyes to the television. what a weirdo. two hours passed and the movie was finally over. junhui yawned and removed his arm around me while i knelt to get up. it was time to go home. joshua's mother talked to me for a bit before i was finally set free.

"thank you for the food, goodbye!!" seungcheol waved his hands as we hopped on the bus. soonyoung was seated next to jihoon so i ran past wonwoo and sat next to gyu.

"let me guess, he's still salty about joshua's mother?"

"yes," i answered

"wanna make him regret?"

"what? no!"

"okay then," mingyu laughed. we hopped off on the nearest restaurant to school and from there, we headed home. soonyoung and i had to walk home together and the silence between us was too loud for me.

"forget about joshua's mom, it shouldn't be a big deal," i muttered "i mean, joshua and i don't like each other that way and you know that."

the boy only shrugged and puckered his lips. on our way home, my eyes caught an ice cream stand because a few students were there, i thought it would cheer soonyoung up so i asked, "do you want ice cream?"

"no, it's already cold," he replied

"do you need a hug to keep you warm?" i asked again and wrapped my arms around him before he could even answer. the boy looked at me and pursed his lips before speaking, "my jacket already does that for me."

"ugh why are you like this?" i sighed "please wait because i really want ice cream right now!" once he nodded, i excitedly ran towards the adorable striped stand.

"do you have strawberry?" i asked, the grownup shook his head

"we have durian, jack fruit, sweet corn, lemongrass, gochujang, tequila, vegetable and hawaiian pizza flavored ice cream."

my jaw dropped, "what the hell is the hawaiian pizza flavored one?"

"pineapple ice cream and spam between two white chocolate macadamia nut cookies."

"and the gochujang?"

"spicy ice cream topped with sprinkles and korean pork floss."

"uhh i definitely don't want durian, jackfruit, lemongrass, tequila and vegetable so i'll just go for sweet corn."

i walked back to soonyoung with a cone in my hand. then he raised an eyebrow when he saw the bright yellow ice cream with pieces of fresh kernels as toppings. "what are those?" he asked

"the other flavors are hella weird so i ended up with this one, wanna try?" i held the cone closer to his mouth and he took a small bite from it. then i watched his face turn sour, "it's so weird," he muttered, with disgust on his face.

"is it?" i asked and tried the ice cream for myself. it was creamy and luscious with a subtle corn taste. and i didn't really like it. "yeah it is weird."

"wanna try the tequila then?!" jiwoo popped up out of nowhere, holding an ice cream cone. i jumped in surprise and soonyoung immediately grabbed my arm. "why are you here?" he gritted his teeth

"chill, blueberry," jiwoo laughed "i'm just trying to offer ice cream. i mean, tequila flavor is really good."

"we don't care," soonyoung uttered, dragging me away "and don't call me blueberry because we're not friends."

"that's what i thought," jiwoo flashed a smirk then ran past me, taking a u turn to soonyoung's direction and shoving the ice cream cone on his chest and smearing it all over. "oops sorry!" the girl laughed out loud as she ran away "maybe next time, you should think twice before acting like a dick towards me!"

soonyoung was mad; he was on so much fire that the ice cream on his uniform was melting real quick but he didn't say a thing. i wiped the cream off of his uniform with tissues and then we hurried home. that's when he started letting his anger out— in the shower.

i stayed on the bed in a pretzel formation, texting seungkwan while hearing soonyoung's loud curses from the bathroom. he was screaming a lot and i didn't know if i should be worried or not.

"I FUCKING HATE JIWOO, I'M GOING TO GET RID OF HER!" he shouted

"TAKE IT EASY, TIGER!" i shouted back.

it took him an hour inside the bathroom before he stepped out in his oversized shirt and plaid shorts, looking pissed off as fuck. "don't stress yourself too much, you might explode," i told him and he marched all the way towards me

"why do people think that we're not supposed to be together?!" he asked and shook my shoulders, showerig my face with all the drops from his damp hair "am i too ugly for you!?"

"i think i'm the one who's supposed to ask the second question, soonyoung."

"ugh, how do we get rid of jiwoo, joshua's mom—"

"you're not going to get rid of joshua's mom."

"but—"

"kwon soonyoung."

"okay," he whined "but we really need to delete jiwoo. she can't take you away from me."
