The following chapter is laced with sarcasm :)

Have fun reading :))

It has been quite some time now, Renjun thought. Weeks of constant mentions of Jisung's crush towards him. First, it was Donghyuck's annoying ass and now Chenle was drilling holes in his ears with the same thing every day.

Renjun would admit it doesn't bring anything out of him that they want to see. He is past the stage where his reactions could satiate them. Then why do they continue with it?

Jisung is the answer. He always gets so flustered with this, sushing the other and placing his hands on Chenle's voice box have been a little effective. But not so much that that he'd stop.

But Renjun knows his friends. He knows why they are pressing on this so much to the point it's making someone uncomfortable.

He can see it everytime, how the younger gets irritated whenever the topic is brought up and his stupid smile fades.

Even Mark has joined the bandwagon. But things were not going anywhere. Jisung didn't do much, he spent all his energy in trying to quieten the loud ass idiots that his friends are.

So Renjun,after an extended window of time and ponderation, took matters in his hands.

This needs to stop and he will be the one to do that.

Renjun was confident, at first.

He invited Jisung to his home and his mom was elated to meet him. She prepared a bit too much for it. Renjun complained to his mother for the lack of attention for three days after Jisung's initial visit. She was just too straight forward about how much liking she took of Jisung.

"okay whatever" was what Renjun had said.

Renjun knew it was the best to make Jisung feel at ease with him first; only then he'll ask for his help to end this commotion that their friend group had going on.

Thus, he'd ask Jisung to accompany him to the library, something he only did with Mark but since the older got busy with his boyfriend, Renjun was quick to replace him.

What he wasn't expecting was Jisung to actually interact with books rather than just sitting there idly, waiting for him to finish. This is what Mark used to do and Renjun was okay with it. He was thankful for just that.

But Jisung's quirky remarks about Renjun's interests took him by surprise.

We have similar interests?

Renjun would be lying to himself if he said he didn't enjoy that time with Jisung. He'd ask questions about pretty much everything and as stupid they might sound to Renjun, he would always end up having a healthy debate over those with Jisung.

He loved that.

He won't lie, he really did love it when someone responded him with the same energy and the dynamic that the two were developing was phenomenal.

Jisung, first exasperated by getting dragged everywhere with Renjun was now mirthly looking forward to their next days.

Their days.

-

Renjun liked to hold people, doesn't matter which part he's holding but he was quite open with his skinship.

Wih Jisung, it was his wrists first that he'd grip and later when Jisung would try to resist the clutches of his smaller hands, Renjun would just slightly but gingerly slide his hand down until it gets clasped with Jisung's.
