My home (NoMin)

6

When Jaemin wakes the next morning he's excited to make Jeno some breakfast. He does remember everything from last night and he is of course really curious but he also understands that he will tell him if and when he decides to. After all it could be a total exaggeration.

When he walks out to the couch he is greatly disappointed that Jeno left already. He had so much fun last night and only wishes he could keep it going this morning. He sighs and sits down next to the folded blanket that Jeno left behind.

He picks himself up quickly. He isn't going to dwell. After all he got closer with Jeno last night than he ever has and he feels like he is going in the right direction.
Jaemin has been struggling with loneliness. Sure he has his friends and family but he really wants to be someone's boyfriend. He wants to love and care for someone, and be cared for. Of course he's lonely in other aspects too but he isn't the type to just go out and sleep around. When he's been with people in the past, it was always with the intention of staying with them.

Now, he doesn't know how Jeno feels about him, if there is anything at all. All he knows is that he's been pulled in his direction the moment he saw him from across the street helping the movers with his things. All he knows, is that he is worth waiting for.
After talking for hours, having so much in common and the palpable sexual tension hanging over them, there is something there, he just has to wait for Jeno to trust him. He will. He will keep being the pesky man to show up to talk on his doorstep at random times, text him a little bit more. He doesn't want to annoy him, he just wants him to know that whatever it is in his past that haunts him? Isn't going to stop him from falling for the man he is today.
He gets his phone out and orders fresh cut flowers to be delivered to Jeno's house, he hopes he will like them. He just wants him to know how much he enjoys his company.

"Haechanie, help me I love him." Haechan laughs as he helps man the barbecue while Jaemin paces in the grass.
"Are you referring to Jeno? Because you haven't known him that long." Jaemin stops and stares irritated at his oblivious friend.
"Can you not take everything I say so literally all the time? I just mean, I'm so in to him and I actually want to try." Haechan smiles knowing just how his friend is and knowing that Jeno is actually perfect for him.
"But I thought that you didn't think you would gel sexually?" He asks making Jaemin frown.
"I Don't care. Honestly just being in his presence makes me feel so fulfilled that I don't care what he's in to. I just want to be near him, besides I was just a little sexually, lonely that day." Haechan chuckles.

"Oh yeah? Did you go out and get some action then?" He asks with sarcasm lacing his voice.
"It was nothing my hand couldn't handle." Haechan shakes his head and flips the steaks.
"Just be you Jaemin. You are an amazing guy, loving and sweet. I think you would treat him like a prince and I think that is so cute. I think you would make an amazing couple." Jaemin smiles brightly.
"Could you put a good word in for me when you are over there being his bestie and not mine." He says with a pout. Haechan can only respond after a good laugh.
"You will always be my bestie. I love you, now get me a plate, let's eat.

"How have you been? I haven't seen you much lately." Haechan smiles while dreamily staring out the window at nothing in particular.
"Renjun and I went out on a date the other night and it was the best night of my life so far." Jaemin beams, he was so worried after his break up with Mark.
"Im so happy for you Haechan. I hope he is everything you've ever needed." He softly touches his fist to Jaemin's shoulder with a sly smile.
"I never thought the day would come that I would say  im actually happy Mark and I broke up. Genuinely happy. He's so lovely." Jaemin beams as he watches Haechan animatedly tell how wonderful his date was.

When Jaemin gets a text and opens it mid conversation Haechan grabs it from him and reads it.
"Really? You sent him flowers?" Haechan asks quietly.
"Yeah, is that bad?" He asks snatching his phone away.
"No, not at all but why?" Jaemin rolls his eyes.
"Nosey little bitch. He was here for dinner last night and we had an amazing time and I wanted to let him know how much I enjoyed myself. Was it too much?" He asks quickly, almost in a panic. Haechan laughs loudly.
"Jaemin, it's fine really. I think it's cute, and obviously he likes it too or he wouldn't have thanked you with a heart emoji." Jaemin smiles.

"So you've been seeing more of him lately?" He asks between bites. Jaemin shrugs.
"Yeah, a little. We talked so long last night about everything. Well everything but that one thing in his past that seems to haunt him but he will tell me if he wants to." He notices during his little speech that Haechan stiffens, almost as if he knows the secret. He tries not to let it bother him but it will sit there for a while.
