𖤈 Chapter Fifty-Five: Nothing To Fear

"Jaemin!"

"Na Jaemin!" The said blond haired boy rolls his eyes, ignoring the person who called him up until he was grabbed by the arm.

"I don't want to hear a thing, Renjun." He sternly tells him right away as he snatches his arm back from the tight grip.

"Jaemin, please. We just don't want you to get hurt-"

"Enough of it already," Jaemin grumbles, cutting him off. "You hurt yourself by believing those dumb rumors, by not listening to Jeno's side of the story. He didn't hurt you, he never wanted to."

Running a hand on his shirt, as if dusting something off, he then scowls at the elder boy who looked disappointed yet also worried for him.

"So I'm telling you to please back off, and rethink this whole situation. Because if you're really the Renjun I know, that's something you should be doing as a mature individual."

Before Renjun could even utter a word, about to hold Jaemin back and say something in offense, he was too late.

Clenching his fists, he bites his lower lip as he ponders in thought. Exhaling deeply through his nostrils, he turns around and goes to the other direction with heavy steps.

Jeno flinches when he hears the door slamming open and shut in a split second as if it was just some big gust of wind that made it move.

Turning around, he quirks a brow at the newcomer, watching the person lock the door and practically stomping over to where he was.

He lowers the books and feather duster in his hands whilst inwardly hoping the teacher who assigned him to clean the science laboratory wouldn't see him slacking around.

"May I help you?" Calmly asking the person who's already scowling at him as if he did something so horrible.

Did I? He thinks to himself.

"Stop whatever you're doing."

"I can't really do that, I'll get detention if I don't clean this place up in the next few minutes. So..."

"I meant whatever you're doing to Jaemin!" Jeno flinches but then scrunches his face in confusion.

"Huh? What am I doing to him?"

"You know exactly what you're doing, Jeno."

"Look, Renjun. I honestly don't know what I did wrong, especially when it's about Jaemin." He sighs, getting tired of the topic already.

No offense but if the topic is about something negative towards him and Jaemin, he's honestly done with it and wants to shut the conversation down.

"Stop flirting with him-"

"Why? Do you like him or something?"

"No! The fuck?!" Renjun shrieks with a look of disgust, it has Jeno stifling back a laugh. "I'm saying this as his best friend, I'm trying to protect him from you!"
