TIE A CHERRY

🍒 TIED CHERRY

Jeno has a 3-month rule. As childish and weird as it is, but he carved it on his life as a technique.

He would walk on flings to flings, joining blind dates, and take them to dates, but never once Jeno take them as a romantic partner instantly.

He has this 3-month rule where he get to know a person, go out with them, learn their daily schedules, how they act, how much they eat, if they are wise in making decisions– just simply get to know them.

This 3-month rule is undeniably a success to him. Especially that he would be saving himself from a tricky person and a toxic relationship.

But Jaemin.. this adorable pink-haired male already passed that rule.

Jeno, if he could perfectly remember, liked the boy for 2 years now.

The bubbly boy isn't always bright, but he's comfortable to be with. He has the most prettiest smile, Jeno had ever seen. Those round deer eyes holding the most sincerest gazes– never lies.

He liked Jaemin by the second he met him, and he knew it would turn to so much more, because Jaemin is capable of making him feel that way.

Jeno hated when he followed his parents to the US. He lost communication with the boy, and it saddened him dearly.

He was busy, learning the language like he was been born again, adapting to the way of life, and even lived there like he's always been there since day 1.

Jeno hated the fact that he momentarily forgot Jaemin.

He felt as though it's the most heaviest sin he could've done, and he blamed it for being so reckless. 

So when he was permitted to go back to Korea and continue his college there, he is never been happier.

Finally, he's home. Finally, there's Jaemin. 

"We're here to celebrate the end of the fucking exams, now don't stop me.", Haechan warned as they stepped in the bar

The music immediately boomed to Jaemin's ears, making him hiss.

Though Jeno seemed to memorize him and held his hand tight, squeezing it, and flashed a smile. 

Like how could a simple smile can assure him so much?

Jaemin just curtly nodded like saying he's okay, as they closely followed the brunette who's just easily gliding through the busy bodies, up to an empty booth. 

"Do we order already mixed drinks, or do you want me to mix?"

"Hell no, I would just die!", Jeno exclaimed, followed by a giggle from the pinkette beside him

Haechan's eyes narrowed, "You say as if I would poison you."

"Haech, your way of mixing alone, is like a witch trying to mix all of the ingredients for the poisoned apple."

"Like I would waste a long effort to kill you, I could've just stab you.", Haechan clicked his tongue, "How about you, Jaem?"
