SINFULLY INLOVE. chenji

19

chenle and jisung are sitting together while renjun is sitting alone in front of them. they just arrived at the coffee shop where they decided to eat. the youngest is sitting uncomfortably on his sit, he can't even look up because renjun is giving him a look. meanwhile, chenle is busy chatting with renjun, jisung can't even figure out what they're talking about because the two are using their mother tongue. 

It's been a minute since the three of them went inside the shop, they have already ordered. after a few more minutes, their order arrived. 

chenle looked at jisung, "hey. you okay?" he asked, jisung let out a small smile while nodding, "i'm good. uh.. let's eat now yeah?" said jisung. 

"yeah, we should. enjoy." renjun said while looking at jisung, smiling scarily. because of the look that the older gave him, jisung avoided eye contact as he started to eat the piece of cake. renjun noticed that chenle is busy looking at his phone, and he smirked. 

"uhm.. hey, chenle.." the oldest called chenle. the said boy looked up to renjun, "what is it?" he asked. renjun smiled, "you haven't introduced your friend yet. i would like to know him." he said while looking at jisung. 

chenle noticed the smile that renjun is showing, he gulped. he really wants to introduce the younger to renjun but because of the smile that he is showing, chenle is suddenly scared.. he trust renjun but he feels like he was going to judge jisung. the older chinese looked at chenle, "i want to know him more. i mean, why not?" he looked at the youngest after. 

"o-oh, right. he's jisung—"

no, he shouldn't act like this. jisung thought. he shouldn't act like this in front of chenle's friend. but what can he do? he's scared of renjun because the older is giving him a creepy look. jisung bit his lip, he stood up, offering his hand to renjun, "my name is park jisung, i am chenle's friend. nice to meet you, by the way." he said without hesitating. he looked at his side and saw chenle smiling at him proudly. "i hope we can be friends." he said with a wide smile. he suddenly feels confident after seeing chenle's smile.

renjun took jisung's hand and did a handshake, he smiled after. he is shocked to see jisung suddenly being confident. maybe asking a few questions is fun. he thought.

"i guess you already know my name." renjun said, "maybe we should ask some questions that we're curious about each other. what do you think?" he asked. "sure. you can ask me first." the younger replied. 

"you're younger than me, right? how old are you?" 

"nineteen. how about you, hyung?" 

"i just turned twenty-one."

the two continued to ask each other questions, while chenle is silently sitting on his sit while chewing on his food. he noticed that the two are getting a little serious with each other, they started to ask each other about personal things, which made chenle uncomfortable. everything is going smoothly until renjun asked a question that made jisung shut his mouth.

"how about your parents? where are they?" 


chenle can feel that jisung is getting uncomfortable, so he holds the younger's hand tightly without renjun noticing. "m-my parents? they're.. uhm.." jisung can't help but shake and chenle noticed it, so he started to rub the younger's hand softly. the atmosphere is getting a little silent so chenle decided to break the ice.

"how about you guys continue to eat? maybe you two are hungry," he said. he was supposed to say it with a normal tone but it came out sarcastically, making jisung nervous. the younger can't help but overthink, did he do something wrong? is there something wrong with the attitude that he's showing?

"i-i'll go to the restroom." jisung said after he stood up, after standing up, he quickly walked away. when he's completely away, chenle glared at renjun, "you're so rude." 

"what do you mean rude? i just asked him where his parents are. it's not rude." renjun scoffed. "what the fuck is wrong with you? there are so many questions that you can ask him! you should've thought before asking him that kind of question!" he whisper-yelled.

"did i trigger him or something?" 

"it's just— you won't understand! this is not the right time to talk about it! you don't know what he went through, renjun."

jisung noticed that chenle is silent the whole time. maybe it's because earlier, or maybe the older is mad at him because of the attitude that he's showed earlier. chenle might be disappointed in him, and now he feels bad.

"hey, uhm.. chenle?" 

the older hummed.

"i'm sorry about earlier." he said making chenle look up, "why are you saying sorry? you did nothing wrong." chenle sighed, he stopped walking. "i am the one who should say sorry. i didn't expect that renjun will ask that kind of question. i should've stopped him." 

"so.. you're not mad at me?" jisung asked.

the older chuckled, "of course not! why would i get mad at you?" 

"because.. i... i don't know." he frowned after looking down.

chenle cupped jisung's cheek, "didn't i tell you that you should forget about them? you should stop overthinking. okay?" he asked, the taller male nodded. "i apologize if renjun acted like that earlier. he usually acts like that whenever he meets new people. i am very sorry." he added. 

"it's okay, hyung. i understand him"

hyung. It's been a while since jisung called him hyung. he doesn't know what to feel, no one really called him hyung and he hates it when someone calls him that. but when it comes to jisung, it sounds so lovely. 

chenle slides his hand into jisung's, and after that, he intertwined their fingers, "we better go now, our daughter is probably waiting for us." he said making jisung almost squeal.
