The Fake Relationship (Chensung)

Part II.

Jisung stood currently infront of his mirror. He had a white shirt on (like in the picture) and a black jeans. Maybe it's to casual but he didn't want it to look to formal. He thought for a moment before he slaped himself. 'Get yourself together' he criticized himself. He didn't know why he was nervous. He was at Chenle's a thousand times. But after what his friends said about introducing Jisung as Chenles boyfriend and his thoughts about Chenle yesterday, he couldn't shake this nervousesness away. Jisung looked in his mirror one more time before he went downstairs to put his shoes on. After he did that, he went to the kitchen where his mom was.

"Hey mom. I will be going now and i think i will stay overnight at Chenles." he told his mom. She looked up from the magazine she was reading and smiled at her son. "Okay Sungie. Take care and hug Chenle from me." she said. Jisung nodded his head, grabbed his bag and went out. 'I hope everything goes well.' he thought before he took his bike and made his way to his best friend.

When Jisung arrived at Chenles house, he could see  his best friend already waiting outside. It made Jisung wonder why tho. He got off of his bike and leaned it on the house wall. "Chenle, why are you outside? It's cold." he said with worry. Chenle smiled at his friends concern. "I am not cold. Also i wanted to talk to you about the evening before my parents can." he explained to him. "But it's just a dinner. Why are you so nervous?" he asked him. 'Yeah Jisung, it's not like you stood an hour infront of your mirror just to decide which shirt you should wear because you are definitely not nervous.' he thought to himself. Chenle let out long sigh. "Yeah i know but i also know my parents and i hate it, when they ask about my dating life and when i would finally get married." Chenle said and pouted. Jisung thought that Chenles looks really cute when he pouted. 'Ah again such thoughts. What's wrong with you Jisung?' Jisung knew how much Chenle would suffer under his parents pressure, so he did the only thing he could think of. He walked slowly to his best friend and hugged him real tight. Chenle tensed at first. It was a really rare sight, that Jisung would show skinship with him. But he loved it. Chenle hugged his friend back and leaned his head on Jisungs shoulder. Jisung was surprised with himself but he kinda liked it when Chenle hugged him back. He felt warm and the need to protect his little dolphin at all costs.  Jisung caressed Chenles back. "I will be by your side the whole evening and i will do anything if they asked you again about it. Trust me." he whispered in Chenles ear. Chenle couldn't hold back his smile. That's one of the reasons why he fell in love with his best friend. Jisung would always protect him no matter what. Chenle broke the hug a bit and leaned back to look up to see Jisung really close to him. "Thank you Ji, for always staying by my side." he said back. He could see that Jisung was blushing and found it really cute. They stared at each other for quite a while, nether of them wanted to move but they knew they needed to. Chenle was the first, who would to step away and Jisung didn't liked it. He wanted to have his arms around Chenle all the time. "We should go in. They are propably waiting." Chenle said and walked ahead. Jisung followed him and hoped this evening would go smoothly.

The first two hours were really great. They talked about school, how Jisungs mom was and in all about what was going on in their life. Chenle was really happy that his mom didn't asked him about his dating life. Yet. When Chenles father stood up to bring the dessert, Chenles mom asked the question that Chenle hoped wouldn't come. "Chenle, my friend has a son in your age. Why don't you meet him some time? He is really handsome." his Mom told him. Chenle rolled his eyes. "Mom , i told you , i can find someone on my own." he told her again. "Yeah but you never tell me that you date someone. I just want my son to be happy." she said. Chenle could feel that he was getting angrier. Jisung, who was sitting beside Chenle, noticed it and grabbed Chenles hand to cool him down. Chenle was surprised but he liked the feeling of Jisungs hands in his. "Mom, can you just drop this? I am tired to discuss this with you everytime." he tried to apply to his mother. "My son i will, if you bring someone home and introduce him as your boyfriend." she told Chenle. After Chenle heard this he grabbed Jisungs hand harder. He didn't want to lash out at his mother but he could feel that it could happen. Jisung knew he needed to do something. He promised his friend.  He leaned a bit to Chenle. "Do you trust me?" he asked really quielty just for Chenle to hear. Chenle nodded his head. Jisung leaned back and looked at Chenles mom. He didn't knew where his confidence came but he wanted to help his friend, so he thought this is the only solution. "Miss Zhong. Can i say somthing?" he asked politely. "Of Course Jisung. And i told you already call me mom." Jisung became shy after hearing this. 'Okay Jisung now or never.' "Actually Chenle is dating someone." he finally said. Chenle and his mom both looked at him in shock. "Ji, what are you doing?" Chenle asked him. Jisung just looked at his best friend and smiled brightly. Chenle saw this and could instantly melt away. He loved Jisungs smile and he knew that he could trust him. "Oh, really? Who is it then?" Chenles mom wanted to know. Jisung sqeezed Chenles hand one more time before he answered.

"Chenle and i are dating."
