THE ZOO [FF NCT AESPA]
The Part 21

At school this time, for the first time, Yangyang and Giselle will be studying together with Jeno. Jeno volunteered to help Yangyang and Giselle, who were on the same mission, raise their school grades. This afternoon they chose to gather in the backyard of the school which is close to the sports hall. They were sitting on wooden chairs under a shady tree.

“You too?” Yangyang pointed at Karina who was sitting in front of him.

“What?” Karina asked back.

“Why did you study with us? Your grade is down too?” Which clarifies the question.

“I invited him,” replied Jeno who sat beside Karina. “same with you, the value never goes up,”

“Hya.” Karina nudged Jeno's arm. “don't you be clear,”

“Gwaenchana, whose value is worse than yours,” points at Jeno in her flat voice as innocent.

“Wah, if you are not smart, I will definitely finish you,” said Yangyang furious.

“Includes can?” Giselle chirps with the view still staring at the book. “with such a small body,” his lips.

“Hhhh!”

“Aw!” Giselle screams as Yangyang pulls her hair. “Hya!”

“Hya hya, stop,” Jeno trying to divorce his two friends who started attacking each other. “ayo continue to work,”

“But this is so hard,” comments Yangyang ruffled his hair. He kept looking at the numbers that came up from each sheet.

“I just want to know your math skills alone, fill in as much as possible,” explained Jeno.

“But Jeno hya, I was curious,” Giselle voiced while still working. “why did you refuse the race? Whereas if you come, you automatically get an additional value, ‘kan. You don't have to win,”

“What race?” Karina asked back with a look that was also staring at the matter before her.

“Smart meticulous,”

“Mwo?!” Karina reacted furiously to Giselle's reply. He is now staring at Jeno. “mwoya, you refused the race?! That's the race that Song ssaem offers you that, ‘right?!”

“Sst! Contains...” Jeno rests her index finger on her lips. He told his classmate to turn down the sound.

“You rejected that race?” Repeat Karina with a smaller voice.

“I initially refused. But I have received,” Jeno replied to Karina.

“Why did you refuse?” Ask Giselle again. “do I know?”

“Oh, definitely because he's shy,” Karina chirps.

“Hya!” Now it was Jeno's turn to nudge Karina's arm.

“Ha? Shy?” Which gnashed his forehead.

“What does it mean?”

“She can't perform in front of a lot of people,” Karina replied, whereas Jeno just kept quiet and propped up her chin looking at Karina who was talking about it casually. “if she was performing in front of a lot of people, he will be nervous and so can not talk,” continued Karina who seems to have often seen Jeno nervous. Karina turned to look at Jeno beside her, “for sure that's the reason, ‘kan? You're afraid of screwing up when the race goes on,”

Jeno nodded and slightly closed her eyes. “that's how,”

“Oh.. mian, we don't know,” Giselle apologizes.

“Aniya, why are you apologizing,” reject Jeno. “gwaenchana, this is what I am,”

“Then when we were on stage, were you okay?” Ask Yangyang.

“Mm,” Jeno nodded. “Being on stage and in the field is the same. I just need to focus on one thing; the guitar and the ball. I still can't be like you, Yangyang ah, playing a musical instrument while interacting with the audience,”

“A..a..aniya.” Who blushed embarrassed when considering Jeno's statement was a compliment.

“At a meticulous intelligent race later, there will be many spectators coming and also the judges. I'm afraid I can't say my answer,” continued Jeno who told her of her unrest.

“I told you, you only need to see the audience's hair,” Karina looked at Jeno while gently hitting the wooden table that was full of leaves.

“I don't think it's that easy, Karina hya,” said Giselle.

“Atau... try our practice,” Karina then moves her body until she now sits facing Jeno. “try us a war of sight,” he said that challenges Jeno to look each other in the eye for 10 seconds.

“Mwo?” Jeno rewinded her body, giving a rejection reaction.

“Try it, Jeno hya,” Giselle supports Karina. “maybe with this exercise you can solve your problem,”

“No want,”

“Ck!” Karina pulled Jeno's arm and made her look at her. “1...2..” Karina started counting. Jeno was silent and tried to follow Karina's direction. Jeno looked into Karina's eyes while waiting for her to finish counting.

“3...4..” Giselle comes into counting with Karina. “5...6.

Jeno suddenly turned her face away. He covered his mouth with a clenched hand while confirming his sitting position to be facing forward again.

“Eh? Not done yet,” said Karina did not accept.

“I can't concentrate,” replied Jeno. “your heart is a lot of oil,” his tease.

“Mwoya? What reason is it?!” Karina sounded annoyed.

“Hya, let's try,” suggested Giselle on Yangyang. “but should not blink. Who blinked first, lost,”

“Ey, no, ah,” reject Yangyang raw-raw.

“Mwoya? Wae?”

Yangyang sighed while facing Giselle. “Your face is like an egg, making me hungry,”

“Hya! Your face is like a goat!” Hina Giselle's.

...****************...

Jeno sat in the meeting room of the new osis the first time he entered. He shook his chair while waiting for the people who will be with him this afternoon.

“Turn on the lights, yes,” said Renjun, a classmate of Jeno who is also a member of the sausage. He was already quite familiar with the meeting room.

Jeno nodded and closed her eyes briefly to receive the bright light of the room. His head followed Renjun who walked towards the side of the room to close the window curtain.

GREEEKKK GREEEKKK

The sound of the trolli being pushed rang out loudly near the osis chamber. As if he had been shouting who had come, Renjun opened the door of the room.

Jeno's body automatically stood staring at two trolli carrying heavy cardboard boxes on it. He also sees Jaemin, Jeno's classmate. Jaemin seemed to be struggling to breathe after pushing the trolli with his two friends.

“O. A jeno? What are you doing here?” Jaemin asked as he pointed at Jeno who was walking towards him.

Jeno swept a look at all the boxes that just came. “What is this?” Jeno asked back.

“Oh,” Jaemin slapped a large cardboard box in front of him. “donations for the orphanage. Regular, it's club activities,”

Jeno nodded in understanding. “You want to go to the orphanage?” Ask again to Jaemin who is a member of the charity club.

“Ya, this Friday. Hya, help me,” he replied while trying to take down the heavy cardboard from the trolli.

“Omo. Very heavy!” Exciting Renjun who also helps Jaemin. “what is it?!”

“Shirt,” replied one of the 1st grade students who was also there. The jakung student looks weaker than Renjun because his hands look vibrating. “ini clothes to donate. There is a heavier one, a cardboard containing food,”

Jeno scrunched her forehead helping the members of the charity club arrange the cardboard one by one inside the corner of the sausage room. Jeno felt sweat begin to appear on her forehead.

“Well, done!” Jaemin said cheerfully. “Gomawo, Run, Jeno,”

“Nih,” friend Jaemin is seen handing out a can of cold drink that he just took out of the bag. He gave the drink to Jeno and Renjun. “gomawo,”

Jeno and Renjun received the can and thanked the giver.

“You ‘kan will go home this,” he replied while staring at Jaemin. “buy a drink in the street only,”

“Which is my day?” Chenle's friend pointed to herself.

“You ‘kan sausage member, just take it,” Chenle pointed to gallon of water that is in the room.

“Ann..” Jaemin still does not accept. “you from the beginning only bought two! Gee.. Chenle hya, you really have no intention of buying me a drink..”

Chenle then puffed Jaemin's mouth with her hand. Jaemin and Chenle's behavior made Jeno and Renjun who had felt awkward to laugh.

“Why do you still have the energy to talk..” said Chenle. “already, there go home,” Chenle turned Jaemin.

“You didn't go home?” Jaemin asked turned his head back with his back still pushed by Chenle to walk out.

“Ani, Jisung and I would like to meet them both,”

...****************...

After a brief introduction that occurred when Jeno and Renjun helped the charity club arrange the goods in the sausage room, the four 1st grade students are now sitting opposite, and they are now sitting opposite each other, they were the school's meticulously intelligent race participants and and today was their first meeting. They also immediately familiarized themselves with talking to each other before their guidance teacher came.

“Oh, switched.” He hit his mouth softly. “You are the Jisung, you are the Chenle,” pointed at Renjun who is still trying to memorize the names of the two disciples before him.

“While we look clearly different,” said Chenle briefly. “Higher corns, remember that's it,”

“Mm. I'm Jisung,” student named Jisung was patting his chest. “we're one club with Jaemin. We are from the social sciences department,”

“You Chenle who ranked one during the entrance exam was yes?” Said Jeno who was convinced that he had heard the name Chenle.

“Ey,” Chenle flicked her hands with reddened ears. He looks embarrassed.

“Iya. He who gave a speech as the representative of the first grade student,” Jisung helped answer.

“Heol.” Rejun closed his mouth staring at Jeno. “You remember? That's ‘kan it's been a long time. At the admission of new students, ‘kan,”

“So your name is Jeno, yes?” Chenle looked at Jeno with both hands still in her pants pocket.

“O,”

“Song ssaem says you're the smartest math,” said Chenle revealed the facts. “you later take part in mathematics, yes?”

“Eh?” Jeno rounded her eyes. “a.I don't know yet. Wait Song ssaem's direction only,”

“Oh.oke..” Chenle agrees. “but I think you are the mathematician,” he continued. “you have to help us win this race, the prize is big,”

“Hya.. don't be so.” whine Jeno slowly, he felt burdened with the words of Chenle just now.

“Mwoya, are you in the race for money?” Renjun laughs.

“Of course. You guys don't?” nod Chenle sure. “the prize money ‘kan for us, if the gift of the trophy, must be taken by the school,”

Chenle opened her arms like she was ready to receive a pile of money.

“I as an added value, anyway,” Jisung looked at Chenle who seemed excited to express his words. “to go to university,”

“Oh, yes,” Renjun flicked his finger. “even if we lose, we will still get added value from the homeroom, so joining this race is nothing to lose,” explained Renjun.

“If you?” Ask Chenle. “Money also, ‘kan?”

“Ani,” replied Jeno. “as Renjun explained. I guess winning or losing doesn't matter, because my goal isn't the prize,”

“Hya what the fuck are you.” Chenle sounds disappointed. “you also want added value?”

“Not also,” replied Jeno again. “ini for my band club,” he replied. “I have to follow this race so we can follow the band race in October. That's the condition of Song ssaem,”

“Mwoya. ssaem forced you apparently,” muttered Renjun.

BRACKET

“Aglow!” Yangyang exclaimed when a heavy-sounding paper bag was dropped staring at the table he used to study with Giselle.

“Sunbae!” Giselle groaned furiously. Staring at Johnny who nosily deliberately surprised the two of them.

“Ahahaha, surprised yes,” Johnny instead laughed loudly.

“Why did you learn here?” Yuta emerged from behind Johnny's back. “ no noise?” Yuta then turned his head to look at Hendery who was playing the drums.

Yangyang and Giselle once again did a routine shared learning activity especially after their small test results were shared. They correct each other's answers and both rework their wrong answers.

Yuta looked at Hendery who was playing drums with Mark recording him with a handy-cam belonging to Yangyang. As for Xiaojun, he stood there while directing the recording of Mark who was still struggling even just to hold a new handy-cam.

“Hehe, get used to it,” replied Giselle to Yuta's question.

“Hya, this,” Taeyoung also appears and stands on the side of Yangyang. “open it, this is for you guys. Bungeo bbang,” said Taeyoung pointed to a brown paper bag on the table that had begun to smell the delicious aroma.

“Aaa, gomawo hyuuung,” exciting Yangyang. He and Giselle then opened the bag together.

“Ckck, school act again yes,” comments Yuta staring at books and papers on the table.

“Commonly,” says Taeyoung. “they are still obsessed with the highest school ranking,” his sneer at the school that once made him experience bitter when he served as band club chairman.

“Ah, hot!” Giselle throws her bungeo.

“Babo hya, blown first.” Yangyang nudged Giselle's body.

“Hya hya, be careful!” Suddenly Taeyoung shouted loudly staring at Hendery, Mark and Xiaojun. “that's expensive,”

“Jwisonghamnida,” said the three of them while looking down.

“What's expensive?” Tanya Yuta who now also turned to Yangyang and Giselle to see her underclassmen.

“Handy-cam. It belongs to Yangyang,”

“I don't think Mark knows how to operate it, his John” that stands between Taeyoung and Yuta commented.

Johnny also turned to look at Yangyang who followed the tail of bungeo bbang while continuing to work on. “now you record a vlog using a handy-cam? Cool..”

“Aniyeyo, hyung,” said Yangyang low self. “that we also use to record our practice. To know its development,”

Yuta turned his head and gave his thumbs to Yangyang. Makes her even more embarrassed.

“Ah true!” Giselle suddenly remembered something.

“Taeyoungie oppa,”

“Hmm?”

“About our song, in the final reff section can it go back to the initial tone? I think I've been able to reach a high note that oppa made,”

“Wah, really?”

“Mm!” Nod Giselle who is happy with her achievement. “Kang ssaem wants me to use a high tone that oppa made, so ssaem trains me on,”

“Hya.. whose yelling is?” Yangyang was surprised. “daeeebak. You can already?”

“Mm! Hehe,”

“Alright, we use that high note yes,” Taeyoung nodded in agreement. “remember, keep your voice,”

“Wah, high tone?” Johnny started wondering. “aku so want to hear your song soon. It's done, huh?”

Taeyoung shakes fast. “little more,”
