"What's with the long face?" Was Jaemin's first thing he asked once he saw Jeno. Mindlessly wrapping his arms around the boy's figure whilst he stares at him.

The brunet boy sighs in his hold, shrugging his shoulders with his arms crossed against his chest. "It's nothing..." He mutters, turning his head to the side.

Jaemin raises a brow at him, obviously skeptical of Jeno's answer. "Come on, it has to be something." Grabbing Jeno by the chin, he gently turns the younger boy to face him properly.

"Tell me, what's on your mind to have you frowning like this." When their eyes meet, Jeno bites his tongue once he sees the glint in Jaemin's gaze.

"I'll tell you after school, but for now... We should get out before anyone snoops around and sees us." He reluctantly pulls away from Jaemin's arms.

The elder boy was a little puzzled, but he doesn't think much about it and nods his head in understanding nonetheless.

He leans in to press his lips on Jeno's nose. "I'll see you later?" Getting a small smile from the younger boy accompanied by a reassuring nod, Jaemin smiles back.

"Have that pretty smile back on your face later, yeah?" Jeno rolls his eyes this time in silly, nodding once again just to make Jaemin feel contented.

"So... Care to tell me?" Making himself comfortable on Jeno's big bed, he watches the younger boy fiddle with his fingers as he sat on his computer chair.

"My parents are out... Again, for work purposes." He starts off.

Something in Jaemin's head clicks, thinking it makes sense as to why it was like before again, Jeno's parents aren't here.

"It just sucks, you know? They left right after Thanksgiving because their people needed them. I understand though that they're working hard for me but..."

"Sometimes I wish their bosses were atleast considerate of their personal life too. They have a child back home." Jaemin lets him finish his rant.

Clasping his hands together, Jeno forces a smile on his face. It's pretty, but not the one that has Jaemin feel relaxed.

With this smile, Jaemin can almost feel what Jeno's holding back. And it scares him in a way, to see the younger boy stressed out which is not himself at all.

"But it's fine, they'll be home after."

"When?"

"Sometime around.... I don't know." Jeno trails off, a little sheepish and awkward.

Jaemin purses his lips before beckoning the younger boy to come over. Jeno did as so and squeals when he was suddenly pulled down onto Jaemin's lap.

"I'm sorry that you have to go through this, it sucks. Like having to wait for them and getting a surprise arrival constantly, it must be tiring."

With Jaemin's gentle touches and soothing voice, warming every inch of Jeno's body inside and out, Jeno instantly melts in his arms.

Sometimes he thinks this is dangerous, to have himself give in to Jaemin so easily.

But another part of him doesn't give a damn, because when he's with Jaemin, everything just clicks.
