Monster || Renhyuck

Thirty Two

"Jaemin... You don't seem to understand..." Nibbling on his lips, the shorter male faced his friend, who had his arms crossed across his chest.

"Renjun... Look at me..." he wasn't angry nor frustrated. He sounded calm, and it seemed to ease the older up. The last thing he wanted was to have an argument with Jaemin and that too after a mental breakdown.

"Yes... I don't know what you're going through, neither do you seem to want to talk about it... just so you know I will always be by your side, Jun. I won't ever, and I mean ever, leave you. You got me, you got your family. We're there for you..."

Renjun lucked out when he found Jaemin. How lucky was he to find someone like him? Not everyone gets a Na Jaemin and Renjun didn't seem to appreciate him until that moment.

"Want to go to that cafe we always hang out in?"

Renjun readily nodded his head. If anything, he wanted to get rid of the thoughts that were haunting him.

"Are you okay baby?" Bending down to match the height of the older, the pink-haired smiled wide earning a small slap on his arm. Wincing the male pulled back, his frown replaced by a pout.

"Stop calling me that Jaemin!" Renjun joked as the other thought for a moment before pulling him in by his waist, the smaller struggling to get out of his grasp.

"The offer is still available you know... to become my boyfriend"

"Shut up!"

"Make me" and Renjun regretted cracking a smile in between as it only fueled the other even more. Pushing him away gently Renjun started walking away making Jaemin gasp dramatically.

"C'mon Jun! I was just joking"

Renjun doesn't know if he should be happy he's in the cafe with Jaemin or he should be sad and frustrated to see sungchan along. Clearly, the male seemed uncomfortable and it looked like they were waiting for someone, preferably Shotaro.

Jaemin picked up the tension between the two, his eyes moving from Renjun to Sungchan, as a sigh left his lips. He doesn't seem to remember what had happened but after seeing Sungchan leaving the rooftop annoyed and confused and his best friend on the floor crying, perhaps he may have connected the dots.

"Uh... aren't you both going to order anything?" The pink-haired male spoke out as Renjun nibbled on his lips.

"I'll go for the usual"

"I'll order after Shotaro arrives"

The two met each other's eyes and it was, least to say, awkward. Jaemin huffed out as he went to the counter to place his order before returning to the table.

"Renjun... could you accompany me? To the washroom?"

Though confused by the odd request, Renjun complied as the pink-haired male threw a glance at the monster beside him before proceeding, "Is it okay with you Sungchan?"

"Uh... yes," Sungchan, though he didn't show it outwardly, was relieved to see Jaemin take away Renjun from their shared table. It felt awkward when he had joined them, Renjun sitting opposite to him but with the male gone he could let out the breath he had been holding on to.

He nearly had lost his senses and let Renjun know where and how the male could get there seeing his condition but thanks to Jaemin he could hold onto his self-control. He waited for Shotaro to walk past the door as the male seemed to calm him down.
