Jeno P.O.V

The pink haired guy or Nana sat down next to them on another bench along with Haechan. Jeno wondered if he was also Renjun’s brother or maybe just a friend. Nana caught Jeno staring at him, he winked playfully.

“I know I’m gorgeous Jeno , no need to stare”. 

Jeno looked at him disgusted with a smile. 

“Oh, please, I was just wondering if you're Renjuns brother also”. 

“No he’s not!” Haechan answered for him, “Renjun is only my big brother,” he whined.

Everyone smiled at his adorable outburst. Nana patted Haechans head before getting up, moving next to Renjun. He grabbed his face making their faces side to side, Renjun looked over at him nervously.

“Do we look alike? I’m curious” he asked Jeno. 

“Not really”. 

Nana stared back at Renjuns face again before grinning from ear to ear.

“You’re right, Renjunnie is way cuter than me!” He hugged Renjun, rocking him in his arms as he tried to squirm away. 

Jeno watched as they joked around. Staring at Renjun again he remembered how Junnies hair was pink yesterday. He knows that people dye their hair but it usually lasts longer than one night. 

“What happened to your hair?” he asked. 

They stopped playing and looked back at Jeno. 

“I um-” Renjun wasn’t sure how to respond. 

“Magic” Nana cut in. 

“Magic?” Jeno laughed but no one else joined in, “You're serious?”

“Very, this may be shocking but I am a fairy” Nana smiled. 

A fairy? As crazy as it sounded Jeno actually believed him. Nothing else can really explain how his hair changed color and how no one knew who he was. Nana did look unnaturally pretty too. 

“So, if you’re a fairy, where do you come from?” he asked. 

“I’ve been wondering that too”.

Nana smiled widely and sat on the bench shoving Renjun closer to Jeno. Renjun blushed when they bumped shoulders, Jeno found his small reactions very fascinating. 

“Why’d you move over there?” Haechan pointed at Nana, “I don’t want to be by myself”. 

He sat up and sat on Renjuns lap, Renjun wrapped his arms around Haechan pulling him closer, now they were all squished together on one bench. 

“Nana tell us the story now” Haechan waved him to go. 

“Yeah, I come from another world, It’s like a separate space in this world. Like how gods don’t live in heaven but just a place where they exist and can watch over humans. Our world is very pastel. Anyway our jobs are simple for the most part. We are assigned a new human every few months; we watch them through our orbs for a few weeks before deciding if we want to make their wish. Fulfilling your human’s wish gains you points which helps you get closer into becoming real fairies”. 

“Aren’t you already a fairy?” Jeno asked, confused. 

“I have most of the powers an actual fairy has but most of them were only given to me to aid Renjun. Also my wings haven’t fully grown in yet” 

He turned around and showed Jeno his tiny wings. Renjun burst into a hysterical laughter with Haechan. His laugh was so angelic. 

“Anyway-” Nana continued, “I was surprised when I’d seen you’d broken the illusion spell”. 

“Me too, I thought you said no one would find out it was me” Renjun spoke. 

“They shouldn’t, Jenos is a special case, it must have been the power of love” he said gleefully. 

They both blushed at the comment. Their eyes met and they just smiled at each other's red faces. 

“Anywho- It’s fine Ten shouldn’t find out” Nana waved his arms telling him it’s fine.

Renjun looked relieved. Jeno was confused, he wondered why Renjun had to even hide who he was. Johnny said that Ten doesn’t let him go to events. 

“Renjun?” The boy looked at him, “Why do you need to hide?” he asked.

Renjun frowned, he looked like he was thinking of what to say, Haechan answered for him though. 

“Ten doesn’t like Renjun”.

“Haechan!” 

Haechan gave him an apologetic look. 

“He doesn’t like you, aren’t you his step son though?” Jeno asked, confused. 

Renjun just frowned, he looked like he wanted to cry. Haechan gave him a hug, while Nana tried to brighten the mood. 

“Who cares what Ten thinks, I like Renjun ten times the amount anyone does” he exaggerates. 

Jeno took it as a challenge.

“Well I like him twenty times the amount” he stated proudly. 

“Thirty,” he smiled. 

“Forty”.

“Fifty”. 

“A thousand” Haechan joined in. 

Renjun started laughing joyfully.

“You guys are so weird,” he laughed.

Oh, what Jeno would do to keep him smiling like that forever. Haechan stands up like he realized something. 

“Renjun, we should start heading home, I don’t want Ten to yell at you”. 

He looks at the time. 

“Yeah, ok”. 

He gets up and starts packing his stuff. Jeno grabs his arm before he leaves, his pretty eyes look at him curiously. 

“When can we meet again?”

“Tonight, before midnight. Everyone should be sleeping by then” He draws directions on his paper and hands it to Jeno. Smiling happily.

“Tonight it is then” he smiles back.
