Clementines - RenHyuck

生|Epilogue

"You're eating again?"

Donghyuck jumps as he hears Renjun's voice behind him. He slowly puts the fork on the plate of spaghetti.

"What now, Renjun?" Donghyuck groans out. He was getting sick of Renjun constantly pointing out to him eating every day.

"You want to be skinny, but you eat like a fucking pig. You make me sick sometimes." Renjun spits out. He didn't sugarcoat it, Renjun knew he had to hit Donghyuck with the hard truth.

Donghyuck sighs. He takes the plate, scooping the rest of the food into the trash.

"Thanks for fucking up my appetite."

He says before walking off. He was genuinely hungry and Renjun came and his whole body just stopped being hungry when he opened his mouth.

That's how he wanted to play? Donghyuck could do that. He definitely could. He walks off to his room.

Donghyuck sat in the living room. He was doing work on his laptop and had a lollipop in his mouth. He heard a door open and shut and light footstep.

"Y'know, for someone so skinny and light, you sure do make a lot of noise walking. Maybe lose a few more pounds." Donghyuck commented.

"And you need to lose a few hundred. Every time you walk I think a fucking T-Rex is in the house."

"Three special words, and three special letters." Donghyuck shoots back. He didn't have any idea for a comeback so he just used his usual defense method.

"Tch, can't come up with something good? You wouldn't have said that if I came to you with a vanilla Coke and a cupcake."

"You know what, I hope you get fat and you can't ever lose the weight."

"Oh, so you want me to be like you?" Renjun said. He walks into the kitchen, grabs an orange, and peels it.

"Your mother–"

"Ah-ah. Can't get mad at something you started." Renjun taps his temple. Donghyuck grits his teeth, sighs, and goes back to working on his project. He clicks angrily on his laptop keys, proving to show how angry he is.

"Embarrassing.." Renjun mumbled under his breath, eating his orange like an apple. He doesn't know why he eats it like that but he thinks it's easier than peeling it all apart.

Donghyuck doesn't reply. He just sighs and keeps typing. He needed to finish this essay. It required 5,000 words and he was only at 400. It was due in one week.

He pauses. He doesn't know what to write. He's stumped. Until he looks at Renjun, he knows exactly what to write.

By 9 pm, he was at 4,984 words. His essay had to be on a topic close to home. His essay was on how weight and the way you look can affect how other people approach you and how they talk to you. He used his and Renjun's interactions as an example of this.

He smiled at the word count, he added a few more words and his final ending sentence was: "In this world if you're on the bigger side, you can never win with the body that you live in."

He turned it in and closed his laptop. He rubbed his eyes after looking at a computer screen for so long.

"Urgh... I'm so... tired."

Donghyuck's stomach growled. He sighed.

Renjun sits on the dining room chair. He had a cup of green tea. He saw Donghyuck walk into the living room.
