"A penny for your thoughts?" Jaemin snaps his head up to see Jeno standing before him, smiling somewhat awkwardly that has the younger boy frowning in return.

Scooting to the side to give him some space, Jeno brushes the spot a little before taking a seat beside Jaemin.

"Thought you said you were going home."

"Needed a breather and decided to stop by somewhere." Jaemin smiles sheepishly, almost as if he was caught doing something behind Jeno's back.

"At least stop by where food is near," Jeno jokes about with a scoff escaping his lips following suit. Opening his bag and reaching his hand in to get something.

Soon handing Jaemin two macaroons that were sealed in a Ziploc bag. The latter takes it whilst mumbling his thanks for Jeno's generosity.

"What's on your mind? Unless you don't want to share right now, that's okay too." Jeno adds some reassurance at the end.

The blond haired boy beside him fumbles with the small bag containing food and sighs, "argued with them."

Jeno didn't needed to ask who Jaemin was talking about, it was obvious enough anyway. So he nods and quietly listens for more on what Jaemin has to say.

"They're trying to stop me from hanging out with you, and it's really frustrating. Especially when they keep talking shit about you and not wanting to listen to my side of the story."

"That makes two of us, darling." Jeno bitterly inserts a comment, muttering beside him with an equally bitter smile.

"I don't know how you managed to brush them off as if it was nothing throughout how long it has been." Jaemin says, "I'm already at my breaking point and it's been two days or so."

"I don't know either, but my friends kind of helped me with the whole distraction. So I wasn't really focused on them as much later on." Jeno answers nonetheless.

Jaemin nods curtly, pursing his lips as he then brings up. "About your friends..."

Jeno perks up as well, raising a brow in confusion. "Are they making you uncomfortable? Did they say something bad?" He instantly asks, eyes filled with worry.

The sweet treatment itself has Jaemin chuckling at him, a little amused especially when the brunet boy glares afterwards, thinking Jaemin's kidding around.

"No it's not that... It's just..." Jaemin is struggling a bit on how to word it out.

Although he isn't that close with Jeno's friends yet– because he can't predict the future.

He doesn't want to come off as a jerk to any of them– especially when the topic is about rumors.

And he knows how Jeno feels about rumors. Specifically fake ones at that just to bring someone down.

Another thing is he doesn't want to offend Jeno while at it, he's talking about the brunet boy's own friends for goodness sake, it could literally go south because of this.

Seeing him hesitate to continue, Jeno places his hand on Jaemin's knee and pats it lightly. "Tell me what you want to talk about, didn't I tell you I'll listen regardless of what the topic is?"
