14: ᴛᴇᴀꜱᴇ

Jisung returned to his dorm with a light step and a contented smile, the morning's events playing over in his mind. The thought of being there for Chenle and helping him sleep peacefully filled him with a sense of purpose. He pushed open the door to his shared room, where Renjun was lounging on his bed, flipping through a book.

Renjun looked up, raising an eyebrow as Jisung began pulling out a duffel bag and packing a few clothes and essentials. ❝What's up, Jisung? You going somewhere?❞

Jisung paused, glancing at Renjun with a grin. ❝Yeah, I'm going to stay at Chenle's place for a while.❞

Renjun's curiosity piqued, and he set his book aside. ❝Really? Why?❞

Jisung continued packing, folding his clothes neatly. ❝Chenle's been having trouble sleeping since he lost his plushie. Last night, I stayed with him, and he slept better than he has in a long time. So, I offered to stay with him for a while, to help him sleep.❞

Renjun's smirk was instant. ❝Oh, so it means something that Chenle's comfortable with you. Interesting.❞ He waggled his eyebrows suggestively.

Jisung laughed, shaking his head. ❝It's not like that, Renjun. I'm just helping out a friend.❞

Renjun leaned back, crossing his arms with a teasing glint in his eyes. ❝Sure, sure. But it's nice, isn't it? Knowing you're the one who can make him feel better?❞

Jisung couldn't deny the warm feeling spreading through his chest. ❝Yeah, it is nice. I'm happy I can help.❞

Renjun sighed dramatically. ❝But now I'm gonna be lonely. Who's going to keep me company?❞

Jisung smirked, zipping up his duffel bag. ❝Why don't you go to Jaemin and Jeno's place? I'm sure they'd be happy to have you over. Besides, you might get even closer.❞

Renjun's eyes narrowed at what Jisung was mentioning, and he threw a pillow at Jisung. ❝Oh, shut up! I don't have a crush on them.❞

Jisung dodged the pillow, laughing. ❝Whatever you say, Renjun. But seriously, you should go. It'd be fun, and you wouldn't be lonely.❞

Renjun rolled his eyes but couldn't hide a small smile. ❝Fine, maybe I will. But don't think I'm doing it because you told me to.❞

Jisung chuckled, grabbing his bag and a few other important items. ❝Sure, Renjun, whatever helps you sleep at night.❞

The two friends bickered lightheartedly as Jisung finished packing. Renjun watched, a mix of amusement and genuine happiness for his friend. Despite the teasing, he knew how important it was for Chenle to have someone like Jisung by his side.

As Jisung slung his duffel bag over his shoulder, Renjun gave him a mock salute. ❝Good luck, soldier. Take good care of our boy.❞

Jisung nodded, a determined look in his eyes. ❝I will. And you take care of yourself, too. Don't get too lonely without me.❞

Renjun snorted, waving him off. ❝Please, I'll enjoy the peace and quiet. Plus I'll see you in class anyways. Just make sure you come back once in a while, okay?❞

Jisung grinned, giving his friend a playful punch on the arm. ❝Deal. See you around, Renjun.❞

With that, Jisung left the dorm, feeling a sense of excitement and readiness for the future ahead.
