double update!

The door of the mart jingled and my eyes lifted from my phone.

The raven haired boy strolled through the aisles, grabbing a stack of ramen bowls.

"Hi Jeno." Renjun greeted me, laying all his food out onto the counter to pay.

"Hey Renjun." I smiled back, popping the cash into the register.

"Do you have a thing going on with Jaemin?" he suddenly asked.

My lips parted, heat rushing into my cheeks.

"Why are you asking?" I questioned back.

"He was wearing your jacket the other day." he simply answered.

"Oh. I offered it to him because it was raining and he got completely soaked." I replied, keeping my eyes down as I sorted through the cash.

"Alright then." he sighed. "You know, you act like the shoulder Jaemin can lean on."

"I do?" I lifted my head.

He nodded. "Even though I'm the person he lives with, I could never comfort him enough. But he told me about the night he spent here during the storm and he seemed so happy he almost cried. I haven't seen him like that in a long time."

I blinked a few times, a warm feeling spreading across my whole body.

"I'm glad." I smiled. That expression faded into a more serious one as I processed the information more.

"Is he not happy all the time?" I asked, my expression softening.

"Jeno, Jaemin has depression." Renjun bluntly stated. "He's been struggling with it for a while." his eyes casted down.

My breath hitched, my lips pressed into a tight line.

"Sorry for asking." I murmured, lightly knocking my knuckles against the surface of the counter.

"It's fine." Renjun grabbed his snacks off the counter. "See you Jeno."
