NCT Dream - The Wizarding Worlds Differences

Chapter 20. Taeyong's ARMY

Jaemin quickly hid behind the wall when he saw Renjun looking over his shoulder. Renjun and Jeno were walking together for the first time in a month and were talking with hushed voices, heads close together. Jaemin was following them around, he really wanted to talk to the two in private and explain the situation. Renjun and Jeno left Hogwarts and were walking towards Hogsmeade, Jaemin still following 'very unsuspiciously'. The two were walking next to each other, hands almost brushing but neither making a move to take the other's hand. Jaemin was nagging them in his head to just kiss already, the tension could be felt from a kilometer away. The two only continued walking awkwardly towards Hogsmeade.

Jeno and Renjun entered The Three Broomsticks at about four still oblivious to Jaemin following them, they were too focused on the presence of each other. Jeno had persuaded Renjun to come and talk with him privately a bit before the first meeting with Taeyong's ARMY, he really wanted to fix their relationship. Jeno led the way to the back of the pub and sat down at a table a bit hidden away from the rest of the pub. Renjun sat down in front of him and sighed, keeping his eyes on his locked together fingers.

"Renjun." Jeno began. "We really should talk... about everything."

Renjun nodded slightly but didn't make a move to start a conversation.

"Could you explain what happened. Because I don't know."

Jeno felt really dejected, he really had no idea why everything had fucked up. Renjun looked up from his hands and slightly turned in his seat.

"I'll explain everything to you as soon as that bitch disappears from this place."

Jeno was a bit taken aback when Jaemin stepped out of the shadows while scratching his neck. His surprised face quickly changed into a scowl.

"What are you doing here."

Jaemin put his hands up and sat down at the end of the table, a safe distance away from the two others.

"Before you kick me out, let me explain."

Jeno stiffly nodded while Renjun was quivering from anger, tears almost starting to form in his eyes from sitting so close to his mates after such a long time. Niv had been really hurt by everything that had happened.

"It wasn't me." Renjun slightly looked up. "The person in the school in the past month that looked like me, wasn't actually me. It was Mr. Hak." Jaemin had to ignore the look of fear that flashed across the prince's face. "I was locked in my fathers mansion and I was only freed about two days ago."

"Why didn't you come to speak to us then."

"I couldn't, I'm so sorry Jeno, I needed to keep up the act. My father would kill me otherwise, it's already a risk talking to you here. I'm really sorry for whatever Chul-Moo has said or done but please trust me when I say that it wasn't me."

Jaemin was starting to tear up, he really didn't want the two to think that he ever would do something like that to them. Jaemin froze slightly when he felt a body embracing him. He recognized the scent immediately and buried his face in Renjun hair. He gripped the smaller body tightly in his arms and calmed himself down.

"I trust you Nana."

Jaemin looked up and made eye contact with Jeno who sat watching them. Jaemin gestured for him to join the embrace, and he did. Oh how they had missed each other.

Mark walked behind Donghyuck, Felix and his friends on the gravel path to The Three Broomsticks. Suddenly he reached forward and grabbed a hold of Donghyuck's hand and yanked the boy towards him. Donghyuck looked up at Mark in surprise before gesturing to Felix and the others to walk before them.
