[observation]

Fifth period rolled around and that meant lunch and that meant food and friends. Jeno was waiting for his friends to arrive at the table and looked up when he heard Renjun and Jaemin approach. They were giggling about something and something went off in Jenos heart.
"Pssst! Haechan. That look suspicious to you?"

"No. Now shut up and eat your crackers."

"Are you in a bad mood?"

"I'm always like this what do you mean?" Haechan threw back. Jeno just shrugged. He couldn't argue with the truth.

"Jaemin just made the funniest joke of 2018. Tell em Jae." Renjun nudged the taller boy and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"There's this dude talking to his friend or whatever and the first guy goes 'hey remember when you got left at the altar?' And the other guy says back 'yeah. I knew she had altarior motives though.'" Jaemin was setting it up as if it was the funniest joke in the world. Haechan rolled his eyes so hard they almost got stuck while Renjun was rocking and smacking Jaemins arm. Jeno chuckled to be polite but couldn't find it in himself to smile. "Tough crowd."

"I thought it was funny." Renjun pouted and leaned on Jaemins arm.

"Of course you did. You have the worst sense of humor."

"It was a good pun!" Renjun crossed his arms and smiled when Jaemin put an arm around him. "Stop I'm mad at you. You insulted the only thing good about me." Jaemin gasped.

"T-the only thing?! T h e o n l y t h i n g!?" Jaemin slammed his hands down on the table and rattled off a long list of why Renjun is the best and deserves all the love in the world. It was weird. They were acting like they were together. It made something in Jenos heart go off again. He didn't like the way they talked to each other about each other. He didn't like hearing from Renjun why Jaemin was perfect or vice versa.

"Pssssssssst! Haechan!" Jeno knew he'd be ignored since the other two boys were too busy doting on each other to care so he spoke at a normal level.

"What?"

"Look at them."

"What, you wanna be told you're amazing and funny and cute too?"

"...maybe." Jeno crossed his arms.

"You're am-" Haechan smiled as he was cut off. He liked getting on Jenos nerves since it was really easy to do.

"Not from you! It's not the same."

"What, am I not the cute robot boy of your dreams?"

"Ugh, You're so annoying!" Haechan chuckled as Jeno turned away. He knew The slightly older boy was still going to go on and on about it later.

"I feel betrayed." I was talking to Haechan about what happened at lunch and why I was having none of it. Even though he was really fucking annoying, he's my best friend and I'd go to him about anything. "He literally held my hand like two days ago. We even cuddled because I lied and said I was cold. I don't get it."

"Well, for starters, he's a robot and probably just thinks that you're clingy."

"I am not clingy!" Haechan gave me a look. Maybe I was a little clingy.

"He could be like you and be an oblivious dumbass. Remember when that girl confessed to you and you said 'I think you're cool too. I feel like we'd be good friends' and she literally cried?"

"That's different I'm gay-"

"And then two years later a guy confessed to you and you said 'aw bro that's really sweet. I feel like we could be good friends' and he cried too. You brozoned the poor kid." He had a point.

"But it feels wrong! I was all over him and now they're all over each other!"

"You're jealous. The question is who exactly you're jealous of."

"Both!"

"What's the issue? Just date both?" Haechan rolled his eyes.

"I like Renjun and Jaemin but I don't think Jaemin likes me. I know he likes Renjun and Renjun probably likes us both. Either that or he's playing us like a damn fool."

"What? The only thing I caught out of that was 'fool'" Haechan stopped walking and put his hands on my shoulders so he could try to understand.

"A likes B and C and B might like A but definitely likes C. C only likes B and probably doesn't like A."

"I think I get it. The letters made it more confusing but I think I get it." Haechan lied straight through his teeth.

"Look, I'll draw a diagram and send it to you later okay? It's not that hard if you look at it." I shook my head and tried to change to conversation by bringing up Mark. "Anyway, how'd your date with Mark go?"

"It didn't."

"Well wha-"

"We went to the mall and he introduced me to his fucking friends and I had to act like I care. Ugh. It was the worst. I feel like he tried, honestly, but it just didn't work out." Haechan went on and on for the rest of the walk home about how Mark is the least romantic person on earth but boy does he try. It gave me time to think about how to explain to both Renjun and Jaemin that I liked them. It probably wasn't that difficult. Maybe I was just extra. Maybe it's Maybelline.

(If you don't get the maybelline thing ur an uncultured swine and I will block you. I'm kidding I love you 💚)
(It's okay to not know a shitty reference 💚💖💚)
(I still love and support you💚💖💚💖)
(Anyway, I'm not a romantic person at all but did I go a good? I don't get flirting until like a week after it happens and that's probably why I'm still single...)

(Also I don't know where I'm going with this story so any suggestions are extremely welcome. I need to get to the end but it's just started. If I do it in like ten chapters that still feels a bit too abrupt. Either I focus on redeeming Jisung and give you some soft chensung bro content or I gift you a few filler chapters of what's going on in the older boys lives. If there's not many comments saying what they want the default is the Jisung thing. I'll try my best to make something good either way.)
