Renjun P.O.V
“Oh, no my groceries !”
His groceries scattered on the ground. This was horrible. Ten will be so upset if he comes home without any and he doesn’t have enough money to get new ones. He tried to gather the ones that didn’t look too roughed up.
“Here let me help”.
The handsome man bent down and started to get the groceries back in the basket. Not that it mattered most of them were already dirty and ruined. Renjun sighed.
“It’s fine. I’ll just have to figure out a way to buy new groceries with the money I have left”.
Renjun got up from the ground. The handsome man followed his actions and looked at him with a frown.
“I can buy the new groceries for you,” he offered.
Renjun shook his head.
“Oh, no. I couldn’t ask you to do such a thing. I’m fine really”.
“But I want too” he smiled, “Besides I’m partly the reason your food is on the ground”.
“But-”
“Just let me”.
“Fine” .
It was no use fighting the man. He seemed determined to help him. They strolled through the market together once again, filling the basket up for a second time. The man paid for all of it like he said. Renjun tried to chip in with the little that he had but the man would refuse with a kind smile.
They arrived at the last stand, which was run by one of Renjuns close friends. Yangyangs eyes lit up when he saw his friend again.
“Oh, your back” he looked at the man, “And you brought someone new with you”.
“Yep, same as last time please”.
Yangyang filled up a bag with the same things. When he was finished he gave them to Renjun. He wiggled his eyebrows before whispering to Renjun.
“You’ve been holding out on me Jun, who’s that handsome guy?”.
“It’s not like that and I don’t even know his name”.
Renjun blushed. They heard the guy chuckle. He must have heard them. He felt so embarrassed. He raised his hand to yangyang.
“My name is Jeno. It’s nice to meet you”.
“Yangyang” he shook his hand with a smile.
Jeno what a perfect name. Something about that name seemed familiar to Renjun. He couldn’t think of where he had heard it before. They said goodbye to Yangyang before moving over to a bench to sit down.
“Thank you so much, I couldn’t have done this without you” Renjun smiled.
“Like I said it’s no trouble”.
“Still you have to let me repay you somehow” he said sternly.
“Fine if you really want to repay me-” he thought for a second before giving Renjun the cutest eye smile, “Tell me your name”.
Renjun had forgotten he hadn’t told him his name. He was caught up in getting groceries. He let out a sigh looking back at Jeno.
“That’s it?” he asked.
“What else would I want?” Jeno tilted his head.
“It’s just most people want physical things like jewels or clothes in return for doing them a favor”.
“I’m fine. I only desire to know the name behind your beautiful face”.
Renjun blushed at the comment. He thought he had a beautiful face?
“fi-fine “ he stuttered out, “It’s-”
DONG!
The village clock chimed loudly cutting him off. Renjun looked at the clock, it was noon. He was late. He got up in a hurry grabbing all his items. He gave the man an apologetic smile.
“I’m sorry but I have to go, thank you so much for your help today”.
“But you didn’t”
Renjun was already far away. He felt bad for leaving but he needed to get home.
***
Once he finally arrived back home he was greeted with a harsh slap to the face. His eyes watered but he didn’t dare let any tears fall. Ten hated when he cried, it only upset him even more.
“You’re late”
“I’m sorry, I ran into someone and-”
“I don’t wanna hear your excuses, just get lunch started”.
Renjun did as told and started preparing lunch for everyone. Although his face hurt, he was still smiling. He kept thinking about the guy at the Market who helped him. What was his name? Jeno. It sounded so familiar but he couldn’t remember where he had heard it. Oh, well. He was so handsome he hopes they meet again he wants to repay him for his kindness. Once finished he set the table. He finally placed his down prepared to eat.
“What are you doing?” Ten glared at him.
“Eating lunch?” he answered confused.
“No you’re not” he crossed his arms, “You came back late, now you can go to room”.
“You're not even allowing me to eat now” he mumbled under his breath but Ten heard him loud and clear.
“Do you not want to have dinner either?”
“No, I’m sorry. I’ll head to my room now”.
Renjun left the table to his room well if you can even call it that. Winwin kicked him out of the room they were sharing when his father passed away. Ten moved him to the basement where they only gave him a flat mattress and a couple sheets to keep him warm. It wasn’t too bad. Sure it was cold all the time and a little dusty but other than that fine.
What is he talking about!? This was anything but fine. He hated everything, he hated this house, he hated Ten, he hated Winwin. But there was nothing he could do. If only there was someone who could help him but there isn’t. So, for now he’s just going to have to deal with it.
Jeno P.O.V
"What is his name?" That was the question that kept repeating in his mind. The boy ran away so fast he didn’t even get his name. What could it be? It must be beautiful just like him. He smiled to himself. He hopes to run into him again on his next trip outside.
“Jeno, are you listening?”
“Huh?”
“Honestly you’ve been zoning out this whole time” he mom shook his head.
“Relax, Taeyong” his dad smiled, “This isn’t exactly his favorite topic to discuss”.
“Well, it needs to be discussed Jaehyun”.
They were discussing Jeno’s future partner. He was of age where he needed to be married. He hates that he has to make a life changing decision so young.
“Jeno we’ve given you months to find someone and you still haven’t managed to find anyone” his mom said frustrated.
“Not everyone can find their true love magically like the two of you”.
“That’s true” his dad smiled at his spouse.
“Well you’re grandparents are getting on our case. That’s why we will be holding a ball tonight. If already sent out the inventions a little while ago”.
“A ball !?” Jeno yelled.
“Don’t worry sweetie I’m sure you’ll definitely find your love here” his mom smiled brightly.
Note: In this story mpreg is a thing, if you don't get why they call them mom even if they identify as male.
