Jennie's POV

"Um... Okay then." Xiumin mumbled as he retracted his hands, he dropped his fake smile towards the mermaid and returned his eyes to me.
"So tell me everything." He said.
"What's there to talk about?" I chuckled.
"I wanna know everything I've missed, tell me about school." He said, Xiumin propped his chin on his arm as he waited attentively. I chuckled and did the same.
"Well, school's shit, no surprise there. Exams are coming up in the next year so teachers are starting to fill our brains with excessive work, it's really starting to get stressful but I manage. I made a time sheet to balance everything so I'd have enough time to read wattpad." I chuckled.
"Can't ever forget wattpad." He smiled.
"So what have you been up to?"
"Soccer, I actually started last year. There's been loads of training, my parents are supportive of it although it takes away alot of time from studying. We're out for the season right now that's why I'm working, I wanna save up and repair my car." He smiled
"Betty the car?" I chuckled.
"You still have that?"
"I have it but I don't use it." He smiled.
"I bought a sweet mustang a few months ago but my heart will always be sold on Betty. That's why I'm trying to fix her up, maybe leave it for my brother when he turns 16."
"That's sweet." I cooed.
"You're sweet." He whispered, his eyes pierced through mine and I sat frozen there. A blush slowly crept onto my cheek.
"I need to piss." Lisa announced, all of our eyes turned to face the girl.
She glared at Xiumin before standing up, it pushed the table back causing it to hit Xiumin's arm. He flinched and glared at the girl that was now storming her way to the restroom.
"I'll go check on her." Reum smiled and headed towards the mermaid‘s direction.
"Nice friend you got there." Xiumin said as he rubbed his arm.
"Leave her alone, she's just... adjusting." I chuckled, the boy pouted.
"What?" I asked.
"Rub it." He pouted and and held his arm out, I titled my head back and laughed at how cute he was being.
"Fine, I'll rub it." I chuckled and held his arm, my fingers applied pressure to his soft skin. "Better?"
"Better." He smiled cheekily. "How are your friends?"
"They're great, Rosé actually tried out for captain of the cheer team." I smiled.
"She's deadass gonna get that, I hope she's celebrating early." Xiumin chuckled.
"Right?! There's literally no way that girl wouldn't get that role. Jisoo on the other hand has found a new love for skateboarding." I laughed.
"Skateboarding? That's interesting." He smiled.
"I don't know what came over her but she's actually getting really good at it." I said.
My eyes glanced back in the direction of the restroom. Lisa and Reum walked our way, I noticed their hands were intertwined but they released it the second they came closer.
