euphonious ~ Chenji

five

Jeno was on facetime with his girlfriend, ranting about the long day he had. Nari didn't even know a fight broke out, let alone that her boyfriend would be in detention once a week.

"Jen, i hate that chenle he's such an asshole??"

"Baby it's not just him, it's his parents too. They were being so disgusting to Jisung just because he's gay?? Like dude he's not an alien he just likes cock??" Jeno replied.

Nari burst out laughing. "maybe he sees something we don't love, maybe jisung is an alien and chenles dad is an alien whisperer." That made him laugh, the two giggling together until jeno shushed her to catch his breath.

"like i know he's a priest but-"

"A PRIEST??? ZHONG CHENLES DAD IS A PRIEST??? Jeno no wonder he's so homophobic." Jeno laughed, not knowing if he should laugh, but nevertheless he did.

"yeah.. but it's still horrible." They both agreed, continuing the conversation with hundreds of 'i miss you's and 'i love you's.

Jeno ended the call, feeling a little empty after saying goodbye. He missed Nari but most of all Jisung, he felt horrible for the other boy.

The fight had felt like Jeno's fault, he didn't want to be so aggressive to chenle he just really pissed him off. The boy felt so guilty that his best friend got hurt, siting in bed, his eyes drooping. He's the one that protects Jisung, he was supposed to protect him especially in a fight, but he's ultimately the one that let him get a black eye.

He looked towards his mirror, staring at all the bandaids on his face before sighing and pulling them off one by one, leaving a couple where the cuts were more prominent. He sat on his bed, picking up his phone.

TUE 22:07

jeno: hey ji
i know you're probably asleep rn
but i'm so sorry this happened
all of it
i love you sleep well <3

He put his phone on the nightstand, sighing to himself again before curling up in his bed and drifting to sleep.

Jisung woke up to jeno's texts, he could feel how hurt the boy was. He smiled at them, happy that jeno apologised even if he didn't really do anything wrong. Ji didn't blame him for the fight, he blamed chenle for being the dick that he was.

Jisung got ready for class, his bag was already packed so it gave him some time to clean his wound. He winced as he washed his face, placing his eye patch back over his bad eye.

His mom had offered to give him a ride to school but jisung declined, wanted to meet his best friend and walk like they usually would. She insisted to at least take him to jeno's house, which he had to agree too.

The car ride wasn't long, but it was definitely awkward. Jisung kept his head down, not uttering a word to his mother.
Before he left her she spoke a quick. "jisung, please text me if he bothers you." To which he nodded.

Jeno was waiting on his doorstep for Jisung. As soon as the boy saw him get out of the car he ran to him, hugging him so tight that jisungs feet nearly left the ground. Very impressive seeing how tall he was.

"ji i feel so bad like- look at ur dumb eyepatch now."

Jisung shoved jeno's shoulder lightly. "hey?? i like my eyepatch, maybe i was destined to be a pirate." They both giggle. "But really jen, i don't blame you for anything. Trust me okay?"

Jeno nodded, hugging him again. "do you want me to kiss it better?" He joked, making jisung giggle again.

Jisung felt horrible going back to school. as they approached the front gate he felt his heart drop, expecting to see chenle stood there again with his stupid guitar.

But he wasn't, chenle wasn't there. It surprised the boys, looking around the front of the school quickly. "jen, where's chenle?" Jeno raised an eyebrow, looking around but shrugging it off.

The two boys went to class, meeting up at lunch in the cafeteria. Jisung sat with his lunch tray, moving around the food with his chopsticks. Ji was worrying, he had a gut feeling that something bad was going to happen. Why hadn't he seen chenle all day? they would us usually see him everywhere. He didn't feel particularly hungry, playing with his food while jeno and nari watched him.

"earth to jisung?" Jeno spoke, ji looking up at them. "what's up jisung?"

Jisungs didn't know how to respond. His mind was racing with thoughts he didn't know how to comprehend. He nodded at jeno, playing with his food again until he felt pressure on the bench next to him.

He looked up, his heart racing with who he saw sat next to him.

"i need to talk to you."
