«So...» Renjun hesitated, taking a deep breath to calm him down. «I will try to keep this as simple as I can. But please, listen to everything I have to say.»
Jaemin wanted to stand up and walk out on the black-haired boy, he really wanted to. But he couldn't. Renjun looked so broken right before him, he needed to know why. And the cake was abnormally good, he had to admit that. And so he stayed and listened to what Renjun wanted to say.
«Jaemin...» Renjun began, hesitating briefly before he continued. «Jeno and I got to know each other by chance, an accident if you want to call it that. But we quickly discovered that we went along quite well, mainly because there was one thing we both really liked.» Saying so he locked eyes with Jaemin, his gaze serious and soft at the same time. «You. We both liked you and would talk about your beautiful smile all day.» Renjun smiled weakly but never broke the eye-contact. «And yes, I like you Jaemin. I like the way you laugh, the way your hair falls into your eyes and how you slightly shake your head to get it out of your face. I know we haven't really talked much, but from just seeing you here and there I fell for you. And to be very honest, I was a bit jealous when you asked Jeno out on that first date – not the ice cream one, the one after it. The movie date.» At this point Renjun stopped for a second, taking a deep breath and waiting for Jaemin to process everything he had just said. The caramel- haired boy was sitting motionless there, with a stunned face, but didn't say anything. And so Renjun continued.
«At the same time, I got closer to Jeno and started to notice certain things. How smooth his skin was. How his eyes light up and disappear in the cutest eye smile when he talks about something he likes. And before I knew it I had fallen for his charms. And I think that it was kind of the same for him. But for the both of us, especially Jeno, was clear that we still had feelings for you. We talked a lot about it, trying to figure out what was going on with us, with our feelings. Jeno didn't take it as well as I did, and that's why he asked for a bit of space. He was scared Jaemin, he didn't know what to do. Do you... Do you understand what I am saying?» Renjun looked at Jaemin worriedly, the boy had frozen completely and seemed almost spaced out. Snapping back to reality, Jaemin slowly nodded, furrowing his eyebrows as he was trying to follow Renjun's explanation.
«Does that mean,» he cautiously asked, «that you both had a crush on me at the same time? And you became friends... because of that?»
«Exactly,» Renjun confirmed. «I know it's a bit weird, but I guess we both didn't think that you would actually take a serious interest on one of us two.»
«I see,» Jaemin replied hesitantly. «But, did I hear that right? You simultaneously had a crush on each other as well? Like, two crushes at the same time?»
«Yes,» Renjun nodded again, getting more nervous with every second. He wiped off his sweaty palms on his pants, shifting from one side of the chair to the other. He had barely touched his cake, whereas Jaemin had already eaten more than half of his.
«And so you came together,» Jaemin stated, lips pressed into a thin line.
Renjun was visibly uncomfortable, but he couldn't deny the obvious. «Yes, we did.»
Jaemin had to be honest, he was confused. If the two were together, why was he here? Did they want to make fun of him? But that didn't seem like them, they would never do this, and it didn't look at all as if this was some sort of mockery.
«What I don't understand, is why I am here. Why did you tell me all of this Renjun?» he voiced out his concerns.
«Jaemin, have you ever heard of polyamorous relationships?»
I'm sorry that this is quite short, but eh. There will be more, and it seemed like a nice part to cut it off. :)
I'm sorry for the lack of updates, I have just arrived in France and I haven't really had the time to write since I was packing the whole weekend ((and saying goodbye to all my friends and stuff, cause I'll stay in France for a whole ten months)). I will post another chapter tomorrow, it's already finished but it's on my laptop and I only have Wifi on my phone for the time being. So yeah, tomorrow it is. :3
