Renjun - trust you again pt.1

Angst

Trust. It's a crucial component in long-lasting and successful relationships. It allows you to have someone to lean on. Someone who has your back with whom you can share everything with. Someone you feel safe with and have confidence that they won't betray or hurt you.
This was me and Renjun.. Or so I thought.

Renjun and I have been dating for a little over a year and a half now. We were good friends until we started developing feelings for each other. We eventually confessed and here we are now, in a happy and healthy relationship.

That was until recently, Renjun had become very distant. We barely hung out anymore as he always claimed he was 'busy' or 'out with his friends' everytime I suggested to meet up. He never called and he barely messaged me. At first I shrugged it off, thinking he was having a hard time and he needed some space but now, I'm tired of this. I miss him. But I knew something was off. I tried talking to him about it but he said he was fine and refused to talk any further.

-

I was at home one day, distressing about Renjun's current behaviour as I've been doing a lot recently. So I tried yet again and invited him to hang out, in hopes of him accepting, but to my expectations, he refused. Instead, I decided to call my all time best friend, Jaemin.

~Over the phone~

"HEYYY BITCH."

"Shit Y/n. Are you trying to make me go deaf?!" He said as he screamed.

"Maybe... Anyway, wanna hang out? Renjun refused again."

"So he's still being an asshole, I see" he said, sounding pised off

"Mhm, so.. Meet me at the park?" I said, changing the subject

"Sure, I'll be there in 20."

"Okay, see you there"

As I hung up, I suddenly realised. Shit, I'm still in my pyjamas. With that I rushed to get ready.

-

"Hey" I greeted, as I saw him, sitting on one of the benches, waiting for me. He turned to me, then stood up and pulled me into a hug. "Hey, how are you?" "I'm fine I guess. You?" "I'm good" he said as he smiled sweetly at me.

We strolled through the park, taking in the beautiful surroundings from the growing plants on which were appearing new, bright green leaves and the blossoming trees, standing so tall and elegant to the blooming flowers covering the fresh smelling grass.

Until Jaemin abruptly turned to me and spoke.
"What's really going on with you and Renjun?"

I visibly tensed a bit and my face morphed into one of sadness.
"I don't know. He's still acting really distant. Maybe he's just a bit stressed and needs some space" I said more so trying to assure myself that nothing's wrong.

Jaemin looked uncertain and slightly nodded, decing not to ask any further questions.

As we turned a corner, a couple could be seen, seated on a bench, kissing.
I briefly glimpsed over, only to recognize the male.

Is-is that Renjun? As my heart momentarily stopped.
No, it can't be. I'm probably just imagining things.

Jaemin glanced at me and saw the frightened look on my face. He furrowed his eyebrows and turned to look towards the direction I was facing.

Now jaemin was the one to bear a shocked expression. We watched as the couple broke apart and to my suspicions, it was in fact Renjun with another girl.

My heart instantly shattered into a million little pieces. Tears stung my eyes as I felt my whole world collapse, as if my heart had been ripped out of my chest.

I gasped, trembling uncontrollably making Renjun notice me, his eyes widening. He quickly got up and rushed over to me.

"Y/n, it's not wha-"
He coulnd't finish his speach as Jaemin punched him square in the face, shielding me from him. My eyes slightly widened as everything was just too much to process.

"Stay the fuck away from her you cheating piece of shit!" Jaemin threatened him as he stood up, blood dripping from his lip.

"Y/n, please. It's not what it looks like." He pleaded.

"Yeah, that's what they all say. Just shut up and get away from me" I spoke voice laced with coldness, but inside I was completely broken.

"Y/n, please-"

"I SAID SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!" I was fuming at this point. I could feel my insides burning with pure rage and hatred. I hated him.

I rapidly ran away, trying to get as far away from him as possible. Jaemin immediately followed me and suddenly, I felt a pair of strong arms pull me back. He pulled me into him, grasping me tightly against his chest, lightly stroking my hair as I sobbed uncontrollably.

"Shh, it's okay. It's okay. Let it all out. " He was whispering softly into my ear.

"I-it h-hurts" I sobbed into his chest, dampening the soft material of his shirt.

"I know, but he's not worth it."
I was a crying mess and all Jaemin could do was try his best to comfort me.

-

We entered my apartment and Jaemin instantly ushered me to sit down and relax. He went to the kitchen and brought back a glass of water and handed it to me. He stared at my blank expression for a moment until he hesitantly spoke.

"A-are you okay?"

I turned to look at him with tearful eyes before bursting into tears again. Jaemin panicked.

"Shit, I'm sorry I didn't mean-"

"No, it's okay." I cut him off giving him a small but weak smile. I paused a bit before continuing.
"Why tho? Why did he cheat? Am I not good enough for him?"

Jaemin softly cupped my cheeks and gently wiped away my tears with his thumbs.

"You are more than enough, don't ever think that you aren't. You're an amazing, kind and beautiful person and he's clearly blind to cheat on you and utterly stupid. He's not worth your tears, love. " I looked into his eyes as I slightly smiled at him.

~Jaemin P.O.V~

My heart broke at the sight of her crying in my arms. She doesn't deserve this. She's the most amazing person I've ever met. She's so caring and considerate and she deserves the world.

And I want to be her world. I want to make her feel loved and appreciated. I want to keep her safe from all harm and never let anyone hurt her. I want to hold her tightly in my arms, not letting her go.

All because I love her.
