one week since the confession

❝hello every one . this is your dj otter❞

❝and this is dj dogh❞

❝and you're now tuning in to tarobihan which is brought to you by LVU and SMU, the lunch lunch podcast, and Mishang, where love is something that can or cannot happen. and for today's concern, what would—❞ shotaro's throat went dry, body frozen and words lost at the question. whoever sent this sent it at the wrong time. not to mention who picked it. jeno nudged him gently. he blinked the troubled feelings away and continued, ❝what would you do when you confessed to the person you like but they never gave you their answer? ❞

he swallowed the lump in his throat, breathing going ragged as he thought back to that night.

❝I... ❞

Shotaro waited for sungchan's answer, heart beating rapidly and was fighting to burst out of his ribcage. the suspense was killing him to say the least.

Sungchan would choose him right? even if he was the one who ghosted him months ago. he trusts him right? sungchan will choose him. sungchan would choose him.

the giant on front of him let out a deep exhale, pulling his hands away from shotaro's hold before using one to run through his hair.

that gesture. it showed that's ungchanw as hesitating. shotaro felt the dread in his stomach. sungchan would choose him right?

whatever happens—

“chan! ”

the suspenseful moment was cut off by jeno, the older running to them. jeno was dressed in suit and he looked like (if shotaro wasn't confessing he would say it out loud as a compliment) hot. jeno stopped in front of him, bending slightly on his knees as he caught his breath.

❝j-jeno? ❞ sungchan sounded relieved, moving away from shotaro and helped his cousin by rubbing circles on his back. ❝something wrong? ❞

❝ shit there's something wrong❞ jeno replied, standing up straight and fixing his suit jacket and tie. ❝mrs. Zhong is going hysterical because she can't find chenle. I can't even contact him! ❞

Sungchan widen his eyes. shit shit shit, He thought. if chenle was kidnapped, it would be the end of him. his parents would send him and jaehyun to the US until they deemed it was safe which would probably when he would finish college.

❝we need to find him❞ sungchan hooked arms with jeno, tugging on the older to start moving. he forgot about the otter who watched everything from the sidelines with a broken expression. ❝shit, chenle❞

jeno just gave shotaro a smile before allowing sungchan to drag him to where he hopes chenle was.

that left shotaro alone of the bridge unanswered. sungchan looked so concern about chenle that he even forgot to give him an answer. he should be jealous as chenle met sungchan first and vice versa, and they probably are closer than him and sungchan. it just pained him that sungchan didn't give him an answer.

did the younger choose him or was he left there to wonder like a read message waiting for a reply?
