Love Heals | NoMin

Chapter Six

A night breeze were kissing the both of the two males' cheeks while heading home. It seems that the boys weren't aware that the sky is getting dark already so it means they need to go home.

It's quiet. No one has an urge to talk but the quiet atmosphere is comfortable while walking.

Jeno, at the side was taking a glimpse of the younger beside him while biting his lip. He wants to walk him home but he is shy to ask, scratch that. He's just being careful. He thinks that Jaemin is sensitive about his life but on second thought, it won't change if he keeps his mouth shut always and never asks him about his life.

"Hey, Jaemin." he called him.

"Hm?"

"Can I walk you home?"

Jaemin glanced at him and gave him a confused look but then he nodded. Right, Jaemin didn't complain instead, he gave him a little smile so Jeno was taken aback again. How did it happen? Earlier today, the younger one seemed annoyed at him cause he kept dragging Jaemin everywhere while making a fuss. But this time, he is smiling. Was it really a big deal for Jeno? Maybe yes? His first impression about Jaemin is that he looks lonely and not fond of smiling. That's why he's really shaken.

"Can you? I'm okay with it." he answered calmly.

The older held his breath. Damn it! Why did Jaemin have to be beautiful like this? And why is that? His heart is melting while staring at those beautiful smiles. He wonders what's with it? Why would his heart flutter? Was he touched? That finally, he can smile now?

Damn it Jeno, get yourself together.

They end up going to Jaemin's home together without uttering a single word, but enjoying the comfortable silence between them. The night breeze is the only noise that they can hear at this time. It's not awkward though.

It doesn't matter if they keep walking like this, at least they were together, Jeno thought.

Wait.. What?

What the hell is he thinking.

"We're here." Jaemin mumbled and Jeno looked at the maroon house with golden brown roof in front of them.

The house is quite simple. Not huge, but not small. It was filled with different kinds of flowers outside. Even their gate was filled with flowers. Really, Jaemin's family love plants, it's not very obvious though. Jeno thought.

"Thanks for walking with me. You know, you don't have to do that." Jaemin pursed his lips while rubbing his nape, feeling shy in front of the elder and glancing at him with some short looks. His eyes can't stay still.

There he goes again. Being cute. Jeno couldn't stand it because his cheeks were heating up again. But he loves the sight.

This is unfair, why is everything about Jaemin is cute? Even just rubbing his nape. Really Jeno?!

"I love doing this. Don't worry. I can walk you home everyday. I'll keep you safe." he did not know what he's saying. That's probably the spell of Jaemin's cuteness and Jeno is affected.

"Really?"

"Mm." he nodded.

"By the way, thank you for today. I had fun. For the meantime, I didn't think about my worries." Jaemin smiled. He was about to go inside but Jeno stopped him quickly by gently grabbing his arms.

"Jaemin-ah, you can tell me your problems if you want someone to lean on. I can be that person. I'm a good listener and I promise you, I won't judge. Remember, we're friends."

Right, they were friends and Jaemin must trust him. What is friends for if he can't trust Jeno?

The question is..
