SUMMARY: No one is allowed to enter Taeyong and Seren's room when she is in those days — apparently she just gets mad, cries, and everything is a mess. Jaehyun, however, doesn't think that is true at all.
characters: jung jaehyun + kang seren (+ mentions of 127 - dramatic 5th floor)
warnings: none just sohyun being cute, also this is just the way i act when im on my period
"You want her to kill you!?"
Doyoung's words have never been so dramatic. But he has seen things: Seren crying, Seren screaming, Seren angry, Seren with a thousand mood swings in less than one minute.
It surprises him, and to be frank it also scares him, how that is possible.
(Although it doesn't surprise him as much as Taeyong putting up with that and actually calling her cute —why? how?)
The truth is, like every other woman, every month Seren feels like dying. And sometimes she can't help but answer rudely — but not on purpose! She cries after that.
The 5th floor had a rule and that was that in those days Taeyong, and only him, could approach her (Doyoung and Haechan had learned it the hard way). The 10th floor, of course, had agreed to it because oh, they knew how things got in those days —never experienced it, thank God!— but that didn't mean that every now and then they weren't going to try to get close.
("Women are so difficult!" Haechan said once. That day, he could swear he was about to die. "Pfft! You're a guy, you know nothing! And get out!" She had yelled after she finished kicking his ass.)
(Yuta keeps that beautiful moment in his mind and threatens him with it every day.)
Today, like every other month, Jaehyun was feeling brave. They were best friends, practically the closest amongs them, and if the leader could receive her affection even in that state, of course he could too!
"Hyung, I'm just going to support her, you guys are too scared." He found it funny how dramatic they could be — he could even hear Haechan mutter 'I have a reason to be' — "Also, Taeyong hyung is not here. Trust me, she wants a partner to watch romantic movies and cry."
"Okay, sure. But on your tombstone I'll put:" Here lies Jung Jaehyun, he didn't believe his hyung."
Jaehyun knows that the only reason Serenity won't let them in is because she doesn't want to treat them badly or be seen crying. But he likes to think that she trusts him enough to see her in such uncomfortable and vulnerable state. He ignored Doyoung and went over to knock on the door.
"Now what?" The show she was watching paused, probably Peaky Blinders because he thought he heard Cillian Murphy's voice.
"It's me."
On the other side of the door there was a loud sigh. He could imagine her rolling her eyes.
"Did you at least bring ice cream?"
Shit, he didn't.
"Well ... No, but I have something better." He could hear Johnny laughing. "My company! And If you think about it —really, think about it— that's way better than the strawberry ice cream that's on my fridge and—"
"—yeah, yeah, I don't like it."
"Exactly!"
Seren groaned and in less than 5 seconds the door was open. Her outfit screamed cozy, but the look on her face said otherwise. Her hair was in a messy bun, she was wearing pants and a big sweater, it probably belonged to Taeyong.
The bed was full of pillows, stuffed animals, her laptop and a small red towel —he knew it was the hot towel she sometimes put on her belly— And just as he supposed, her laptop was playing an episode of Peaky Blinders, her favorite show.
He flopped down next to her on the bed, grabbing a stuffed animal to play with.
"They're scared of you, you know that?"
Seren snorted as she unpaused the show. "They should."
Jaehyun smirked. "Should I feel loved because you finally let me in?"
She shrugged her shoulders, a small smile peeking across her face as well. "I just thought that after the 20 tries you've made, I should finally let you in."
His laughter filled the room.
"What did you do to them, anyway? I just know their versions and we both know that's only about 20% of the truth."
All her attention was now on him. Seren turned her body towards him, hugging a pillow and completely ignoring Netflix.
"I haven't done anything!" She assured, though it didn't sound very convincing. "Really! In that case, I just gave them what they deserved! One day Doyoung wanted —Wait! Don't tell him I dropped formalities— for me to go for a walk with them, but I was uncomfortable and ended up yelling at him, he yelled at me too and then I kicked his ass, not literally! " Again, Jaehyun laughed. "Now, Haechan did get his ass kicked. For real. And he totally deserved it —he knows nothing about girls! Really! And Johnny is just dramatic —okay so I didn't like the snacks he brought me, I don't see the problem. Drama queens, am I right? "
"Especially Johnny hyung." he agreed.
"Right!?"
The more she told him, Jaehyun realized that everyone was being too dramatic. But honestly what the hell does he know, he's just glad that she's not hitting him and instead is lying next to him, watching her favorite show with the prettiest smile he's ever seen (though he doesn't understand what makes her so happy, it's just Thomas Shelby smoking)
"Hey, don't tell Tae oppa but I think now you will be my partner these days." Seren suddenly said, looking at him.
"Oh really?" He raised an eyebrow, his eyes sparkling with amusement.
"Yes, look at me. I'm not mad anymore."
"They just don't know you like I do."
