"jeno!" jaemin yelled as he chased after him. before jeno could close the door, jaemin stuck out his foot, causing him to finally meet his eyes.

"please." jeno's eyes were begging now. but jaemin wasn't going to leave. so he pushed the door open.

"jeno. why-" he said as he came in his room, and jeno backing away as jaemin stepped closer. "what is this?"

"oh so you really wanna know?" tears were in jeno's eyes. but he tried to hold them back. "jaemin-" he took in a deep breath. "it's because of you." jeno finally let out the words with a shaky breath, as he was trapped now.

jaemin stopped dead in tracks. "what? me? how-"

"how can you be so oblivious na jaemin?!" jeno yelled as tears continued rolling down his cheeks, as he banged his hand furiously on the table.

"because you keep being so introverted that i hate it! i want to talk to you but you keep running away! can't you stop and listen before doing all this shit?!" jaemin raised his voice.

jeno knew, this was it. he wasn't going to put up with it anymore. he pushes past jaemin but is too late to reach the door as jaemin holds his wrist.

"leave me alone. please." he turned his head towards jaemin.

"but please tell me. why are you doing this?"

"because i love you." jeno finally said it. "i'm in love with you. since the first day i met you, my eyes have only been on you. you know what hurts? you being oblivious to everything. my anxiety keeps coming up. i'm dying everyday a little bit by bottling up all these emotions. i keep thinking i'm not at all good for you. but- just tell if i'm not cause-"

jaemin pulled him in for a kiss. he couldn't stop himself. how could he have been so oblivious? oh god.

as they pulled away, jaemin stared jeno stare longingly in his eyes.

"you idiot. god, i love you too." jaemin looks down at his feet before speaking up again. "i know this is probably early but- will you be my boyfriend?"

jeno lets out a light chuckle. "i didn't think you would actually ever ask this but- yes. yes i will."

jaemin grabbed his face lightly, touching their foreheads. both breathing heavily, jeno looked at him. "i'm so sorry for overreacting- god this is so bad- i'm so terrible- oh my god-"

"just shut up." jaemin pulled him closer, their face inches away. "and kiss me."

their lips touched and this time the kiss wasn't gentle anymore. it was a passionate one. the one that longed love and attention. the one that said they were lonely.

suddenly a bunch of "woo!"s were heard from outside. the dreamies stood outside. everyone was grinning.

"i knew my otp would sail one day." donghyuck said as he chuckled.

"shut up i made them meet each other okay." mark snorted.

"guess chenle and jisung aren't innocent anymore huh" renjun said, making the younger ones stomp their feet.

but the happiest of all, were the couple, who warmly smiled at each other.

jaemin and jeno.

jeno and jaemin.

together.
