Jerk || Lee taeyong

sixteen

manhattan, new york.

"how's nana?" jaemin asked as the three of them walked together on the sidewalk. the air was sharp and crisp turning the tip of their noses a bright pink. jeno stuffed his hands inside his puffed coat. "oh she's doing well... i think." jaemin turned over with a brow raised.

"you think?" renjun questioned jeno as the three crossed the streets making their way into chinatown. "i mean she has friends but apparently there's someone bullying her?" jaemin stopped as renjun laughed out.

"hey, what's funny!" jaemin defended, hitting the back of renjuns neck. "ow!!" he continued to laughed as he rubbed the back of his neck. "h-howre you getting bullied in college?! especially nabi! you know she is stubborn"

jeno shrugged as he tried to think of a reason too. "it's probably teasing at the most"
"all i know is that they better not lay hands on her" jeno muttered as he opened the door to a old fashioned chinese spot. the bell rang while the smell of all difference kinds of foods hit their noses.

"hey boys" a older man from behind the kitchen walked out with a smile stretching from ear to ear. "hey uncle, is chenle home?" the man's smile faded upon hearing taht question.

"he's studying." the room suddenly fell silent. renjun looked around awkwardly as his smile began to fade too, "is he in trouble..." jaemin asked trying to clear the air. "he's failing" they all let out a sigh of relief now knowing that the situation wasn't that serious. "can we check on him-"

"no. he needs to study! that boy-" they all fell awkward while they let the old man rant. that man wasn't chenles dad, his dad was a real greedy jerk so he stays with his uncle who acts more like a father. "okay..." jeno slowly walked backwards finding this whole situation to be a personal matter. "well we'll come back to help later! haha..." jaemin chuckled while slowly leaving through the door. "get home safe boys!" finally the sweet smile was back as he waved goodbye.

they all stepped outside and sighed. "that was hella awkward" renjun said turning right, slowly walking away from the restaurant. "chenle that's shithead! he has my sweater-" suddenly a click was heard behind them. jeno turned around quickly to see chenle and jisung standing behind them.

"you called me what?" chenle had a knife facing renjun "damn chenle! you scared the shit out of
me" jeno took his grip off of his gun and placed his hand over his heart. "i thought you were studying?" jaemin asked confused as now all of them started walking slowly together.

"well i snuck out duh. who do you think i am studying like that?" chenle shook his head in disbelief. suddenly jeno stopped as his eyes widened.

"taeyongs calling" everyone's heart dropped to their ass as they crowded around jeno to see taeyongs contact "ayo why does taeyong have a heart next to-"

"hey hyung, it's been awhile" jeno glared at chenle to shut the hell up. after about a quick five minute call everyone was curious on why he was calling at such a time "he said he needs us back in korea. something big is apparently happening right now" they all hummed in response.
there it was, the beautiful hideout.

no it wasn't very bright but it's where they've been able to do everything. it was deep and hidden into chinatown so it wasn't very noticeable, which is perfect. jeno opened the front door as everyone followed behind yearning to hear what's next.

"when do we have to go? and who's going to take control of chinatown?" so many questions were being thrown into the air that needed to be solved quickly. the leader, jeno gulped as he didn't know what to do i mean after all he was still a rookie. "we'll leave in two days, that'll give me enough time to figure out what to do and get everything sorted out" he nodded, reassuring himself.

now the tension was high again with worry showing on everyone's face "hey! guys were the dreamies, aren't we? we've been holding down chinatown since freshmen year" jeno always found a way to brighten the mood at times like this. plus korea means he could possibly get to see nabi if the situation wasn't too serious.

"everyone needs to pack and be ready by friday, understand?" with a calming and soft eye smile jeno informed.

the youngest jisung and chenle are still in highschool, their last year but they're still our babies. jeno, jaemin and renjun were all not in school but we're taking on their family businesses. the lee family has always been a very well respected gang as well as gaining popularity for their clothing business, nabi is the only one who doesn't know this. she was supposed to learn awhile ago but too much happened that she was hidden from the truth.

she should've learned but nabi was stubborn. she always shut out anyone who tried to be let in and she wanted to be normal like everyone else, it was only wrong to tell her everything. "im going home" jeno said to everyone.

"huh?" jaemin questioned with hesitation. "you guys stay here, okay? i'll be back soon" and with that the door was closed. once again jeno walked through the chilly air, snowflakes falling from the sky as his footprints showed on the ground. he had a bad feeling about taeyongs call and he still felt uneasy about going to korea.

was he going home? no. he pulled out his cell and texted qian "this fucker better be up" he muttered as he stood against the the nearest light pole. a smile grew on his face as he seen 'incoming call' appear on his phone, "hey kun"

"whyre you calling at this time" the male yawned through the phone causing jeno to shake his head. "it's a bit to early in the night to be sleeping with women, don't you think?" he sucked his teeth and snapped back "ay, you're always in my business." kun sighed wanting this to be over and done with.

"i need you to watch over ctown for me, okay? we have business in korea with taeyong and we don't know when we're gonna be back."

"you know i-"

"please!! come on you wouldn't want anything bad to happen!!" jeno whined, pouting as well but obviously he couldn't see.

silence filled the call while jeno crossed everything in his body. "fine. but you better say hey to chittaphon and sicheng for me" then the call ended.

"yes!!" jeno celebrated, soon after feeling a shoulder bump into him. "take it easy, it's not going to be easy"
