"I haven't seen you in a while." I told Renjun, who only chuckled, pulling money from his wallet.

"Yeah, I'm usually an early sleeper." he stated, grabbing his snacks from the counter. "The total opposite of Jaemin, who sleeps rarely."

"Really?" my eyes widened.

It made sense why he always came here at ungodly hours.

"Mhm. I always tell him to get some rest, I sometimes heat up some milk for him to drink. Nothing helps."

"I'm sorry." were the only words that left my mouth.

"No need to apologize Jeno. It's not your fault." he sent me a smile of reassurance.

My eyes shifted to the counter and my teeth slowly sunk into my bottom lip.

"Renjun,"

"Yes?"

"Is Jaemin cutting himself?"

He stiffened, holding the snacks in his hands.

"What?" he furrowed his eyebrows, a confused expression plastered on his face.

"Is Jaemin cutting himself?" I repeated, looking him straight in the eye this time.

"What makes you think that?" his tone became serious.

"The other night I saw cuts on his wrist."

He pressed his lips together, taking the information in.

"I haven't seen anything. Thanks for telling me though." he said after a few moments, turning around and leaving the place.

Jaemin didn't show up that night.
