08 | awkward silence

ㅡCHAPTER EIGHT.ㅡ

❝what are we?❞

an awkward, REALLY AWKWARD silence filled the room, untilㅡ

❝we're friends.❞

with that, jeno twisted the door knob and walked out.
meanwhile, renjun tried to hold the tears in. he felt...dramatic to cry about the younger's response.

the chinese knew he wouldn't going to like whatever jeno would've said.
he knew he was nothing else but a friend to jeno.

suddenly, the door opening made renjun lift his head towards a very confused jaemin, you don't see renjun crying every day.
actually, only mark had seen the chinese cry in their trainee days, although it happened only one time.

❝what's wrong?❞
jaemin said with the sweetest voice he could and sat beside renjun, rubbing his back to comfort him.

❝it's nothing.❞

❝stop lying. i can see you're holding back tears.❞

❝no, seriously. i'm fine.❞

renjun lowered his gaze, not being able to mantain eye contact with jaem.
sighing, the chinese finally gave in and fiddled with the hem of his shirt.

❝it's jeno...❞

❝oh my god what did he do now?❞
jaemin furrowed his brows, already knowing he had fucked up big time.

❝i know it sounds childish but...he doesn't love me back-❞
the older was interrupted by jaemin's giggles.
he scoffed and looked down as his cheeks burned in embarrassment.
he should have kept quiet.

❝renjun...jeno loves you.❞

❝and i do too...❞
he whispered, thankfully the chinese didn't hear him.

❝y-you do too..?❞
oh no wait, he heard-

❝y-yeah❞

❝i love you two too...❞

❝two too...PFFT-❞

❝HEY-❞

❝AHAHAHA❞

❝JAEMIN, I SWEAR TO GOD-❞

chenle and jisung layed on the older's bed, cuddling...
their legs tangled while chenle's head rested on jisung's chest.

❝baby?❞
chenle blushed.
he still wasn't used to jisung calling him his...but still answered to him calling.

❝yeah?❞
the younger played with his boyfriend's hair, feeling a bit nervous.

❝do you want to go on a date tomorrow?❞

the older smiled, already excited for the next day to come.
of course, he was a bit nervous cause you know...sasaengs, but then again he had jisung with him, which made him feel more secure.

❝of course i want to!❞

❝okay, it's settled then!❞
the two made eye contact, chenle breaking it first as he was clearly flustered. did i mention jisung was shirtless? well, now you know.

jisung placed two fingers under chenle's chin, lifting his head and connecting their lips in a sweet kiss.
chuckling deeply because of chenle's red cheeks.

❝i love you❞

❝i-i love you too...❞

then, they fell into deep slumber in each other's arms.
