"oh thank goodness you came home early, the clouds are really dark right now. i'm pretty sure you'll be soaking in the rain if you came late."

chenle mindlessly listened to what renjun was saying as his mind still wandered back to jisung, guilt bubbling up inside him as left him ignored, not even ready to say a single word to him. it was painful; but he endured the feeling for the past 1 and a half days.

"still thinking about him, isn't it?" renjun asked gently, startling him.

"n-no...i mean, yes..." chenle stuttered out, now feeling even more guilty as he brought up the topic.

"well, there's nothing you can do for the time-being. let's just wait and see," renjun said comfortingly at the younger. "since you're going through a lot, we'll do the work, you can go rest."

"n-no! i'll help," chenle immediately blurted out. "i want to distract myself for a while...let me go and take a shower and then i'll come and help."

renjun nodded his head in the affirmative as chenle briskly walked into his room. almost immediately, renjun was greeted with another sound of a door knocking, the sound of the rain almost muffling it in the process.

he walked towards the door and opened it, revealing a soaked jisung, gasping for breath, stealing glances as his head drooped down.

"oh lord, sungie, what were you doing in the rain?! come inside, fast-" renjun said concerningly as he let him in, but he cut him off.

"i'm sorry, hyung, but i really have to talk to lele...where's he, i mean she?" jisung said firmly, much to his surprise and relief. renjun sighed as he beamed to himself, knowing this problem would be finally over.

"you have to wait for a while, she went for showering..." renjun trailed off, an uncannily calm demeanour taking over him. "...unless if you two already had been intimate, in that case, i won't disturb you two."

all words suddenly left jisung's mind after hearing that come out of his hyung's mouth. "i..." he trailed off as he collected all of his residual courage, and words. "y-yes...we've been kinda...intimate, so then can i go?"

"i guess, sure," renjun said. "besides, you don't have to get permission from me. just...don't do anything stupid or freak her out, that's all."

after hearing his hyung's confirmation, jisung immediately took to his heels to chenle's room, slamming the door in the process. renjun couldn't help but mentally facepalm to the maknae's antics.

🍂

jisung heaved a sigh of relief as he flopped down on the bed, gathering up bits and pieces of his courage to talk with chenle and sort things out. being bitterly alone is not something he could ever handle; anyone, preferably the one he loves the most, should be with him or else would go insane.

only the sound of a door opening preceded his awakening. "ahh! what the fuck! gege, there's a stranger in my room!"

jisung jolted himself out of the bed as he heard chenle's voice. he turned to see chenle, leaning out of the door, his face manifesting a horrified expression. only his arm, shoulder and his face was seen, stealing glances at his clothes on the bed, putting the missing puzzle pieces together.

"finally, i was waiting to talk to you," jisung said, manifesting a hopeless expression, not even caring that his roommate was completely bare, and he was about to combust soon. "look, we need to get things straight."

"yeah, yeah, sure, whatever, but first, give me my clothes," chenle said not-so-happily, trying to divert from the topic for as much as he could. jisung mentally groaned to himself as he approached him and gave the clothes, which resulted in him instantly slamming the door the moment he grabbed the fabric.
