"who was that?" renjun shook his head as he dropped his phone into his bag. "was that haechan?"

renjun nodded, switching his tote bag to his other shoulder as he and jeno walked towards his building.

it was normal for them to come to school together considering the fact that both of them lived in the same neighbourhood since childhood.

what wasn't normal though was the fact that jeno had been quiet for most of the ride there, only speaking to ask him simple things like how he slept the past night and if he had eaten breakfast.

"is he..." jeno trailed off, renjun glancing at him from the corner of his eye. "is he fun to talk to?"

"i wouldn't know." jeno let out a brief exclamation as the pair continued walking.

for some reason, the walk from the carpark to his building seemed a lot more tedious than normal and despite the fact that renjun tried hard not to care, he couldn't take it anymore.

"is there something you want to tell me?" he asked, abruptly turning around on his heels to come face to face with jeno. "you've been weirdly quiet today."

"oh, sorry about that it's just-" jeno stopped talking, squinting at something in the distance. renjun watched as his normally calm expression hardened, the boy crossing his arms immediately. "lee haechan's waiting for you there. want me to scare him off?"

renjun looked behind him and sure enough, a boy was sat at a bench outside his building, a paper bag right beside him as he scrolled through his phone.

'so lee jeno isn't your boyfriend?' he remembered what haechan had asked him before, staring at jeno who seemed as though we were ready to fight on his behalf.

"you're acting like an overprotective boyfriend," renjun remarked, putting his hand on jeno's shoulder. "i can handle it just fine."

jeno's eyes never left haechan, scanning the boy for any sign of danger. "jeno-"

"i'll just walk you straight to your class then!" he turned to look at renjun, his eyes smiling as he took hold of the painter's tote bag. "by the way, you should've just told me to carry it for you — you've been struggling since just now."

"i didn't want to bother you-"

"renjun!"

the boy ran towards the pair, waving brightly at renjun and completely ignoring the boy beside him.

so that's what lee haechan looked like.

renjun had never seen nor heard of haechan before but then again, he didn't care about people outside of his circle to begin with. apart from them, he couldn't be bothered to familiarise himself with others be it in his year or those in the same major as him.

so, when lee haechan was stood right before him, he couldn't help but stare, analysing everything about him from his head to his toes.

"i realised you probably didn't know how i looked like so tadah!" haechan turned around slowly, showing off himself to renjun. "also, since i was gonna swing by, i bought you breakfast," he added on, passing the paper bag to renjun.
