Smile ✦ Nomin

八

Even though Jaemin was smiling Jeno was still nervously bouncing his leg up and down, he put down his coke bottle and continued to watch the other through his eyelashes. Jaemin slid a finger under the sticky note and removed it from his banana milk, pulling the pen he usually uses for taking notes out of his pocket. His smile widened as he began to write on the back of the note quickly, scribbling a short sentence, then sliding it across the table to Jeno.

Jeno lifted his head to look across the table properly, only to see the boy he’d fallen so hard for looking right back at him, eyes sparkling in the iridescent lights of the convenience store. Jeno looked back down, reading the words he had written on the front of the pink sticky note, ‘Jaemin, I like you, a lot, I have for a while now, you make me really happy, and I was hoping that maybe you feel the same way.’ 

He flipped it over, ‘Jeno, I like you as well, you make me happy as well, be my boyfriend?’

His eyes widened, raising to meet his crushes, Jaemin reached his hand across the table questioningly. Jeno ignored it and stood up from his chair, walking around the table to stand in front of the pink haired boy, before throwing his arms around the others neck, burying his head in Jaemin’s chest and almost knocking him off his chair. 

Jaemin let out a soft laugh and wrapped his arms around Jeno’s waist, “careful sweetheart, don’t want to break anything,”

Jeno lifted his head to look Jaemin in the eyes, “of course I’ll be your boyfriend.”

The pink haired boy smiled down at his lover, before leaning in and placing a soft kiss to his lips, tightening his grip around the others waist, Jeno kissed back, joy bubbling up inside him and overflowing. 

They pulled away and Jeno smiled, and Jaemin smiled right back. That was where it all started, that kind, bright, smile of his, the one Jeno loved.

Thank you for reading this little short story of mine, sorry this last part is so short, but I didn’t want to force myself to add more to make it longer when already liked how I ended it, and didn’t know what else to write. I hope you enjoyed, and who knows, maybe I’ll add onto it someday, or maybe I’ll write about Chenle and Jisungs relationship that they started in this story, you never know.
