The rest of the periods went by efficiently. Sado had ballroom and pop dance practice with Ji-eon, both performing to their heart content and striving to be at the top of the pyramid. Hae focused explicitly hard on her fashion project, modeling class and makeup art. She wanted to be an aspiring idol and a role model that someone could end up looking up to. Hanuel studying graphics designing and art of all kinds, and Lorenzo determined to be a business man and start his own club one day. Just like his biological parents did back at Italy. They were the strange group, out with their mindsets somehow on the same level, made to be friends.
Lunch break finally rolled on and the group could never be so happy to be out of the class of suffocating teachings and students. They sat at their usual pinic table at the college park just beside the building looking half dead. They managed to pass through four whole hours of class with rigorous work and braincell usuage deviod of their morning coffee to keep them through the day. They were slumped on the chair like dead bodies looking like they'd hadn't eaten for weeks.
"I'm dying." Sado groaned, tongue rolling out of his mouth.
" I'm hungry. "Ji-eon sobbed rubbing her growling stomach in pain." An apple and a bottle of water don't really hold you much till lunch. I would have had leftover pizza rolls but that's like eating 4000 calories for breakfast."
" Being a K-Pop trainee isn't easy huhn? "Hae chuckled banging her head on the picnic table in order the stay awake. " It's your choice of study, stop complaining."
"Look who's talking, like you have any problems with getting fat. It's like you and your brother are calory resistance. You both never gain any weight. You know I have to be on diet to be in the program, and you know how hard it took for me to lose just some of my baby fat. " Ji-eon complained red in the face with both hunger and anger.
" It's not my fault that I was born with a lose appetite, plus you're always so lazy to do your morning cardio. " Hae shot back raising her head to meets Ji-eon's gaze.
"Ah, don't you bring my routine into this conversation, your model walk is no better than an amateur. I even beat you to it! " Ji-eon puffed her mouth angrily looking away from her with an agitated hump.
"Oi! Hey don't you–" Hae began to say but was cut off by Sado's voice.
"Hey hey hey, girls, girls calm down jeez your moods are like weather report. You might never know when the bad news of a storm will be announced. " He sighed wearily, looking at both of them with a drained expression. " You guys were besties this morning, jeez where did all the loving go to. Listen, both of you, I do not have the mental capacity to deal with your snippy squabbles right now especially without food, sugar or coffee–AND WHERE THE HELL ARE THOSE TO KNUCKLEHEADS WITH OUR ******* LUNCH!!!! "
" Behind you. " Lorenzo's voice came from behind, making all attention draw towards the Italian boy and Hanuel holding six bags of McDonald's.
"FOOD!" Ji-eon screamed almost catapulting out of the seat if not for Hae holding her down to avoid public embarrassment.
"Wow you all look like you've seen death." Haneul remarked allowing a quick scrutiny at his friends, noticing the dead look in their eyes and the bags under them. He quickly dropped the food on the table not wanting them to chew him off for stalling.
Sado snorted." More like we died and came back straight from hell." Sado ammended grabbing the bag that had his name order on it and checking out the contents inside. His face brightened up for the first time since morning at the satisfying sight of his strawberry and mango flavoured frappie, chocolate mocha coffee, fries, a cheeseburger, bag of chocolate and onion rings at the side. "Aww gosh you always know what I need Lolo." His best fruit was the strawberry and onion rings were his to die for favorite junk food.
"Ahhhh, cotton candy and bubble gum flavoured frappie and my vanilla latte, Renzy and Sky you both are the best " Ji-eon screamed in happiness as she also took out a bag of candies. " You guys are really the best."
"Are-are you crying?" Sado let an amused laugh, munching on his fries while studying his friend stuff her face with food with tears in her eyes.
"It taste so good." Ji-eon moaned loudly slamming the table in esctasy.
"Well take it easy, the food's not gonna run away." Lorenzo urged her to calm down. He drew the hand full of candies away from her already stuffed mouth in order to wipe away the stains of ketchup from the half eaten hot dog on her mouth, with a free napkin.
"God, Sado and Ji-eon can you guys like ever not eat something a bit too sweet all the time? You'll gain more calories than needed in your course. " Hae incurred eyeing their frappies and candies taking out all the while taking out her own bottle of Sprite and tacos from the paper bag.
Ji-eon gasped looking mortified, hands to her chest in mock shock." Don't you know you need sugar for a full bodily function? "She stuffed more candies into her mouth and chewed hastily." Sado and I are dancers, we need to survive on coffees and candies."
Hae cocked her brow at Ji-eon in disbelief before shifting her attention towards the redhead. He shrugged nonchalantly popping another cube of chocolate into his mouth and sipping his warm chocolate mocha coffee, his frappie was already drained surprisingly." Don't look at me, you need sugar especially chocolate for brain function and I burned my remaining brain cells dancing a two hour callipso. I might not be a biology major but I at Least know that bit, plus if you're worried about my weight don't worry. I'll lose 20 pounds in my next class."
" Lucky you." Ji-eon murmured." Lucky you too Lorenzo, you don't have to look good for shit yet you still manage to pull it off. I've gone on a lot of diet sprees but I still won't loose all my baby fat it's annoying."
" Awe Ji-eon don't be like that. You really are cute you knows that?" Hanuel chuckled at his friends reaching out to pat her hair affectionately.
"Yeah, you're still pretty, beautiful even. You really don't have to lose anymore weight." Hae said with her mouth full. Her brother chrunched his nose in irritation at his sister.
"Hae's right. I don't want you to be like those skinny celebrities wearing a clothes size of 7. Do you okay? I'm sure everyone will accept and if they don't then don't give a **** too. We'll be your number one supporters." Sado added." and for fucks sake don't eat while talking Hae,I wonder who the model is here sometimes because you hardly act like a lady."
Hae flushed in embarrassment, cowering slightly.
Ji-eon smiled at her friends, buring her face in her palms shyly to hide her tears and sniffling. "Thanks you guys that meant a lot."
"Hey, when we graduate and I open up my club you will be the face of it." Lorenzo promised pulling her hands away from her pink face and chuckling at the little drops of tears dropping down her puffy cheeks.
"You really mean that?" She sniffed again drying her face with her sleeves as the Italian boy nodded." That sounds great, being the face of Renzo's Host."
"What? Ew no he's not gonna call it that!" Sado butted in a loud protest. Ji-eon grimanced internally,way to spoil the mood Sado,she thought." It's gonna be called The Ciao."
"What the **** is that? It's a host club in Korea, don't you think it should have some ethnicity too? And must his name be on the face of the building? I'd vote The Host."
" How about I don't name it any of that thank you very much." Lorenzo let out a tired sigh when his words did nothing to abate their argument.
*******************************************************
"Are you guys sure you don't want a group sleepover tonight at my place?" Sado asked everyone as they walked back to their bike. The classes had ended for the day, plus the group staying back for more evening classes which ended at seven'o clock on the dot.
"Not tonight sorry Sado. I still have my solo dance to finish making up for the test and I need to make my brigde for my music before the deadline hits." Ji-eon explained pulling her pink plushy bag higher up her back and zipping up her jacket to protect from the cold. The wind was getting chilly and beginning to pick up.
"Seems like coming rain." Lorenzo announced lowly, tucking his hands into his pants pocket and raising his head to sniff the air." Smells like it too."
"Haneul and I also have projects, our deadline is tommorow and I gotta finish my sewing, Hanuel you?" Hae asked nudging her brother in the ribs to say something.
" I've got landscape art to finish." Haneul explained easily with a tired yawn and rubbing the sore spot on his nape caused by keeping still in a very uncomfortable position when asked to be the class model.
"I need to try and catch up on some sleep tonight," Lorenzo announced languidly, ruffling the redhead fluffy hair with a small smile playing his lips." Don't you have a project due?"
"In two weeks so I've got time to laze around." He mumbled with a saddened pout.
Silence rained after that as they continued walking to their resignated spot and all dispersed to their respective powerbikes." Tell you what Pop-pop," Ji-eon began to say as she put on her pink and gold helmet on her head before settled comfortably in her pink bike that had a couple of pink plushies hanging from it." I'll try to finish my project tonight so we can hang out tommorow. My deadline is Monday so I got tommorow and the day after."
Sado's face contorted into a displeased frown." Ugh, please don't tell me that we are back to that lame nickname."
"Would you prefer salamder? "She rose her brow at him although the helmet blocked the view of it.
"I think I'd rather not prefer anything." He shuddered shaking his head.
" I'll join tommorow too," Lorenzo announced from where he sat on his bike and pulled on his helmet." Sound okay?"
"It's perfect, I guess I'll binge on bl movies and anime tonight." He shrugged getting on his own bike and sparing the twins a look of question." What about you guys?"
"Well try to work things out with the project and hang out tommorow." Haneul declared reeving his engine a bit." We promise."
Sado nodded with a satisfactory smile." Good, meet up at our place tomorrow?" Hae asked the group. The team gave her a thumbs up before disbanding into different direction towards home sweet home.
