Renjun's Dilemma

Chapter 4: Renjun's Dilemma

Renjun pouted, standing in front of his open closet, feeling a wave of indecision wash over him. Jeno and Jaemin wanted to take him and the twins out, but he had no idea what to wear. Should he go for something casual or something comfy? Something cute or something more modern? The options seemed endless and overwhelming.

He plopped down onto his bed and grabbed his phone, resting beside him. Maybe he should text them for advice.

Uglys - Group Chat

Junnie: What should I wear for our date??

Bunny: Hm, something nice.

Junnie: Well duh, be more specific.

Pup: Just wear something cute, Renjunnie.

Renjun smiled, feeling a little better. Maybe he should wear something cute instead.

Bunny: No, you know I can't control myself when you're all cute.

Junnie: Right. Don't want Jaemin to be kissing me every 5 seconds 😤.

Bunny: But I love kissing you 🥺.

Pup: Me too 🥺.

Bunny: Please wear something cute, okay? 🥺.

Junnie: Okay, okay. Stop with the emojis.

Pup: Great! See you soon. Don't forget to put on that cute beret too!

Junnie: How did you know about my beret?

Pup: Talk to you later, Junnie!

Junnie: Answer me this instant, Lee Jeno!

Renjun chuckled, shaking his head. He got up and decided to pick an outfit. After some deliberation, he settled on a blue woolly sweater, white jeans, white Converse, and the beret Jeno liked. He checked himself in the mirror, feeling satisfied with his choice. He snapped a quick picture and sent it to the group chat.

Junnie: (attached a photo) What do you guys think??

Bunny: Cute!!

Pup: I agree with Jaemin. Btw, we're outside.

Junnie: Coming!

Renjun made his way down the hallway and spotted the twins. "Come on, boys. Dada and Papa are outside."

Jikyu nodded, standing up. "Mkay! I missed Dada and Papa!"

"Me too!" Juyeo agreed, picking up their toys. He let out a small groan, his arms full of both his toys and Jikyu's.

"Want me or your brother to help?" Renjun asked. Juyeo shook his head determinedly. "No, no. I got it. I'm a big boy." He slowly made his way down the hallway, and Jikyu followed, picking up the toys Juyeo dropped on his way.

Renjun smiled. He loved them so much.

Renjun opened the car's back doors for the twins and smiled as they got inside. He followed after them, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. He hadn't been on a date in years, and he was happy that it was with Jeno and Jaemin. He loved them, but he definitely wouldn't say that out loud.

"So, where would you guys like to go?" Jaemin asked as he started to drive.

"Ice cream!" Juyeo yelled, raising his small hands. "Let's get ice cream, Dada!" Juyeo really liked ice cream, and Renjun couldn't help but laugh.

"Cookies too!" Jikyu yelled, also throwing his hands into the air.

Jaemin hummed. "Renjunnie, how about we take the boys to the cafe?"

Renjun nodded. He hadn't been to the cafe in a while, and it wouldn't hurt to stop by.

"Alright boys, we're here." Both boys cheered, excitement bubbling over. Renjun smiled, their happiness infectious. Jeno and Jaemin being there made him even happier. They felt like a family.

"And who are these cuties?" Ms. Na smiled, walking over to Jaemin. "Are these who I think they are?" she asked, her mouth wide open in surprise or dramatic effect. Renjun would never know.

"Yes, Mom. This is Juyeo and Jikyu, the twins." Ms. Na smiled before letting out a squeak. "Oh my gosh, they're so cute I could just eat them," she cooed, making grabby hands at the twins.

"And Renjun, is that you, baby?" she asked before pulling him into a hug. "How long has it been? Five years? You're still as cute as ever," she cooed.

Renjun's cheeks turned bright red. He wasn't fond of compliments.

"So, what are you guys doing here?" Ms. Na asked.

"We wanted to take the boys and Renjunnie out," Jaemin responded.

Jeno nodded in agreement before grabbing Renjun's hand. "Yeah, he deserves it." Jeno smiled at Renjun, making his cheeks redden even more.

"Is it hot in here or is it just me?" Renjun mumbled.

"Is it?" Ms. Na asked. "I'll go turn the AC up then." And with that, she was on her way.

"Two ice creams, two cookies, and three root beer floats for my boys." Ms. Na winked as she placed their treats down.

"Thanks," Renjun said in return.

"Enjoy."

"Thanks for the ice cream, Ma!" Jaemin yelled, hoping his mom could hear him from the back.

"Yeah, yeah, you three better wear condoms! No more babies!" she teased.

"Ma, stop it! The kids can hear you."

Once the family was out of the cafe, they decided to go home.

"Are the twins asleep?" Jeno asked. Renjun nodded, plopping down onto the couch in his robe. They were actually wearing matching robes with his boyfriends.

"Thank goodness," Jaemin added. "Jikyu will talk your ear off."

Renjun rolled his eyes. "He got that from you, Jaem. You'll talk someone's face off."

"And he got that from his mom," Jeno added.

"Definitely," Renjun agreed.

"Hey! At least I'm not boring!" Jaemin crossed his arms.

"I'm not boring! Am I boring, Renjunnie?" Jeno asked.

Renjun pouted. "Aww, baby, don't listen to him. You're not boring." Renjun placed a hand on Jeno's face.

"Hmph!" Jaemin huffed.

"Aww, does my other baby want affection too?" Renjun asked.

Jaemin nodded with a pout.

Renjun got up. "Come on, let's go cuddle."

"Okay!" they both yelled in sync.

Bonus Scene: The Problem

"Jisung!" Chenle yelled, walking into their apartment.

"Yes, babe?" Jisung said, walking out of their shared room in only his boxers.

"Stop right there, mister!" Jisung froze in his tracks.

Chenle walked over to him, scanning him up and down. "You were jerking off, weren't you?"

Jisung choked. "I-I was asleep! I would never do that!"

"You're lying. I see it all over your face."

"Fine," Jisung surrendered. "I was. I'm sorry. I didn-"

"It's fine," Chenle cut him off. "But please don't mess up the sheets. This is my fifth time washing them this week!" Chenle said, walking into the kitchen.

"I did not jerk off five times this week!"

"Lies! You can't fool me, Jisung! I've known you forever!"
