I realize I could have written a whole ass book on this! Anyway this is the last part for this story.
By the end of the weekend Jeno and Renjun for the most part feel ok again. Of course this will always be there, always be in the back of their minds how they almost lost each other but in order to move on they have to start moving forward. Renjun has been extra clingy and Jeno loves it. Both of them felt like dying in the two weeks they were separated and both never want to go through that again.
On Sunday evening Jeno notices Renjun studying his laptop frustratedly.
"What's up baby?" He sighs and turns it and all Jeno sees is a map.
"Ok?" He sighs again and pinches his nose.
"I'm trying to find an alternate route to work." Jeno looks on with a frown.
"I could take the early train but I don't want to be at the bus stop by myself at that time. The later one is too late and the only other option is walking six blocks to the next stop." Jeno hums and sits on the edge of the bed, he takes the laptop and closes it.
"How a about i drive you?" Renjun gasps.
"What? No. That's ridiculous, you work all the way on the other side of the city and it just wouldn't make sense." Jeno nods with a small smile.
"It makes about as much sense as you switching bus routes." He takes his hand.
"Avoiding Jaemin isn't going to change what happened and it is only going to hurt more, and at some point you will resent me for it even if you think you won't." He kisses his lips then flips across his lap onto the bed, eventually pulling him on top of his chest.
"Baby, feel all of the feelings in your heart. Don't suppress them. I love you and I trust you, I know you didn't set out to hurt me. It took me a little while to realize it, yeah but I know you are not capable of being that cold hearted." He reaches up with one hand, while the other is wrapped around Renjun's waist.
"Sit by him on the bus, talk to him, feel whatever it is you feel and just be honest. That's all I need." Renjun shakes his head in disbelief.
"But what if they get deeper? If I avoid him I..." Jeno doesn't let him finish. He just kisses his pouty mouth.
"Then they get deeper. I already told you, I'm committed to you one hundred percent. Just don't ever stop loving me." Renjun cries harder and touches his face.
"God I love you so much." He says before kissing him, and this will be the first night they've made love since that dreadful night. It is more powerful and meaningful to both of them than any other time, both feel the weight of their past mistakes evaporate as they hold on for dear life. Arms wrapped tightly around each other, bodies as close as space will allow. Soft loving kisses, soft meaningful touches. I love you's shared in almost every breath, every look, or touch.
The first week of trying to go back to normal was hard for both of them. Renjun felt really awkward with Jaemin and it was obvious. He knows what Jeno said but he questions wether he really means it. He knows Jeno is still hurting and confused and even with his permission he won't allow himself to just jump in and start something with Jaemin.
"Hey." Jeno says kind of awkwardly to Jaemin as they both got home at the same time.
"Hi, uh Jeno do you have a minute to talk?" He asks softly. Jeno nods and follows him into his place.
"Have a seat." He says and waits for him to sit.
"How are you doing?" Jaemin asks, really wondering how things are. Renjun hasn't really talked about it, about much anyway.
"Good, yeah I uh." He pauses and Jaemin smiles warmly.
"Are you guys ok though? Like really ok?" He nods but his tears tell a slightly different story.
"I, I, uh. I love Junie with all my heart, I always will but if he's happier loving two people? Who am I to stop him? I want him to be happy, that's all." Jaemin sighs.
"But what about you? You can't put your own needs aside like that? Are you really ok with him and I?" Jeno looks down.
"Just never hurt him, I will flatten you again." Jaemin laughs and wipes at his own eyes while Jeno sniffles.
"I never plan on getting in your way, I would never want to step over any of your boundaries." Jeno shakes his head no.
"See, there aren't any. There can't be. We agree to always be committed to each other but I can't set boundaries in this or there is no point in letting him explore this side of himself." Jaemin makes a pouty face as he watches Jeno break down again. He gets to his knees and hugs him tightly.
"Shh, I've got you Jen. I'm here for you ok? Just let me in ok?" Jeno nods.
"You want to know something?" Jaemin asks and gets weak nod in response.
"When I was with you two that weekend, I felt more alive and cared for than I ever have and it wasn't just him that made me feel that. You made me feel special and wanted, not to mention really good."
Jeno chuckles and pulls away from their hug.
"I just want you to understand that you are both really special to me."
Jeno touches the spot on his face where he hit him.
"I'm still really sorry." He says softly. He leans down and kisses his eye, then stands.
"Maybe, we should get together and talk more?" Jaemin asks quietly. Jeno smiles.
"Yeah, we should." He says before taking his leave.
