Red Strings // JaeNoRen

[Renjun POV]

"Renjun, can I sit by you?" Jeno shyly asked, looking away with his hand still gripping the chair.

"Junnie, Nana can sit by you, right~~~?" Jaemin winked.

"Uhhh...." Renjun was having a moral dilemma.

Could you blame him?
If Lee Jeno and Na Jaemin both asked to sit by you, who would you choose..?

Renjun felt quite awkward.
Not only did he not know these two very well, they both seemed like good people. He didn't mind who sat next to him, but would they?

Being the genius he is, Renjun made the best decision.

"Jaemin."

Jaemin's face lit up and he smiled sweetly. The younger excitedly sat down, shining. He dug into his food and blushed when Renjun commented on how cute he eats.

Jeno bit his lip.

"Jeno."

Renjun stood up, getting the other younger's attention, "Sit here."

Renjun gently pulled Jeno by the hand, tugging him close, and settling his hands on his shoulders after the raven-haired boy had sat down.

There were so many seats at the table. Why bother fighting over one? Renjun didn't know why it mattered to them, but he did his best to make both happy. He gave Jeno his seat with no regrets.

"There, so now you two can eat!" Renjun happily said, resting one hand on Jeno's shoulder, and the other on Jaemin's.

Renjun then noticed how cute they looked sitting together.

"Whoa, you two would TOTALLY be a really cute couple!"

Jaemin choked.
Jeno blushed.

"OMO! Nana, are you okay?!" Renjun quickly gave the coughing Jaemin some water.

"I'm-- *cough* okay..."

Jeno scooted his chair closer to the younger and softly stroked his hair.

The look in his eyes was soft.
It was a huge contrast to the death glare they were sending each other earlier.

"Be careful when you eat, Jaemin-ah," Jeno softly spoke. "I'd be worried about you."

Jaemin's face flushed redder than it already was.

"I-I... O-okay... I will..." Jaemin look away, his caramel hair swishing comfortably into Jeno's touch.

ADHJAKASJSJJSLASKSJALLLJJK! JISOOS!
WHY ARE THESE TWO NOT CONNECTED?!
I'M SHIPPING THIS.
I think they're cute. Maybe I can get their strings to appear when I get them together.

Renjun just fawned over the two boys caring for eachother and gaydreamed about ways to make them love each other.

"Lengjunnie!" Taeyong still mercilessly butchered Renjun's name.

"Yes?" Renjun took no offense to it and tried to hold in his laugh at how many new pasta names Taeyong probably just made up.

"Sit down! No dessert until you do!" Taeyong shook his wooden spoon in the air.

"Arrasseo, eomma," Renjun joked and sat down next to Haechan instead.

Taeyong rolled his eyes as he continued to set dishes down on the table.

Meanwhile, Renjun eyed Markhyuck, who were sitting knee-to-knee. The couple talked quietly as they held hands beneath the table. Mark softly  giggled as Haechan cutely offered him fried udon with his chopsticks.
