wrong letter

eighteen

It was already 4 in the morning when Renjun wanted to return back to his house. Without waking Jaemin up, he left Jaemin's house quietly in order to not disturb Jaemin that looked really tired after having a worst date (that was what Jaemin told him hours before).

Of course Renjun had no good reason to tell his mother why he sneaked out from his house last night.

He was thinking if Jeno and Chenle might sleep comfortably without him on his bed, enjoying last night with each other company.

Renjun walked along the side road, looking around him. It was still dark and cold, and that was Renjun's first time to be outside alone at that hour when he really hates darkness. Renjun tighten his grip on Jaemin's sweater that he lend from Jaemin, trying to make it less cold.

He hummed a song which he did not know what song it was, feeling uneasy with his surrounding. He shrugged those scary stories of his neighborhood that he heard before, hoping that he can reach home sooner.

Until he heard someone was walking right behind him.

Was it ghost? Was it a bad person who wants to kidnap him?

He was really sure there is no normal people will walk alone at four in the morning.

Unless the person is as broken as him.

The steps of that person became closer, which Renjun can't even move from his standing place. With uncontrolled breath, he tried to force himself to run, until the person pulled his hand, hugging him tightly from behind.

Renjun's breath hitched, realising that it was the person he knows. He recognized him from his scent.

His favourite scent.

His comfort place.

"Jen-"

"Renjun. Baby, I'm sorry,"

Renjun did not reply to Jeno, still processing what was just happening in that few minutes.

"I'm sorry, I'm hurting you, right? I'm sorry, love, you don't deserve this." Jeno turned Renjun's body to face him, hands still on Renjun's sides.

Renjun bit his lower lip, trying to look at Jeno. He slowly brought his hand to touch Jeno's cheek, flinched a little bit when he realised how cold Jeno's skin was. "Nono, are you staying outside all night? You might get cold! Look at your lips, and where is your jacket?" Renjun asked, looking frustrated to see Jeno in that way. His thumb slowly touching Jeno's tremble lips.

Jeno shook his head.

"I don't know, I want you," Jeno let his body to fall onto Renjun, hugging his boyfriend tightly like he doesn't want to let him go, again.

Fuck that dumb plan. He just need to love Renjun and make Renjun loves him too. He just want to have him in his world, that is enough for him.

"Nono, let's go home."

"Can we go to my house, baby?"

-

You might think Chenle ended up staying at Renjun's house, continue to watch movie or maybe sleeping through the whole night.

But, no.

Mrs. Huang woke up only to see no one inside Renjun's room, and that room was tidy like no one was there the night before.

She tried to call Chenle but the guy turned off his phone.

She tried to call for Renjun's number, but no answer.

Luckily she has Jeno's number. It only took a few seconds until Jeno answered her call.

"Jeno, I thought you were sleeping at my house where were all of you," She asked worriedly.

"Oh, we to sleep at my house after we delivered something to Jaemin. It was urgent we could not tell you, I'm really sorry about that." Jeno replied calmly, which he lied in order to make things less obvious.

"Then, is Chenle with you?"

Jeno did not reply. He took a glance at the sleeping figure beside him, sighing. Is this what Renjun feel everyday? Mrs. Huang did not even asked about Renjun first. Only if he knows everything earlier, he already brought Renjun away from that house.

He stroked Renjun's hair down to his cheek until Renjun leaned to his touch with eyes closed. "Hmm, no. Just me and Renjun. Renjun is sleeping, now."

"Hmm, Chenle is not here too. I hope you can find Chenle, poor that boy. He has no one to take care of him. "

"But Renjun is with me right now,"

"Renjun can take care of himself, but please, help me to find Chenle. He just a teenager that knows nothing. What if anything happened to him?"

"I will ask anyone else. Let me take care of Renjun."

The call ended, and Jeno can't believe that Mrs. Huang did not ask a little bit about Renjun. A sudden notification from Renjun's phone made Jeno looked at the screen, in case there was anything important for Renjun to reply.

But he did not expect that.

A text from Mrs. Huang.

'Why would you left Chenle alone and went outside with Jeno last night? Chenle might feel left out. I don't want you to do this again.'

Jeno bit his lower lips, he was somehow getting mad at Mrs. Huang's text. He deleted the text quickly to prevent Renjun from read it, until he felt a sudden grip on his arm.

"Jen? Can we sleep some more?"

Jeno looked at Renjun, nodding. Renjun still look sleepy. And Jeno can't help himself from joining Renjun in his bed, wanting to spend his day with the boy he loves.

Not to forget to text someone before that.
