Mama's Boy- Nct Jeno ff

"So where are you kids coming from?" The lady asks.

"We prefer not to answer that" Jaemin tells her.

"Where are your parents?"

"Dead." I answer.

What I'm not wrong. They're not dead physically. But they're dead to us.

"Aww. I'm so sorry to hear that. Do you guys want to stay with me?"

"Thanks, but no thanks. We still have a long way to go before we can settle down." I tell the lady that was smiling with her eyes.

"Well you guys can sleep here until morning. It's dangerous over here at night."

"No thanks, we're staying at a hotel." I answer and Jaemin kicks me under the table sending me a look. We have an entire conversation using our eyes.

"Why not stay with her. We should save as much money as possible"

"I don't trust her"

"How? She's so nice"

"That's exactly why. I have a bad gut feeling about her"

"You're being dramatic."

"WE'RE NOT STAYING HERE!"

"Yes sir." He yields.

I really did have a bad feeling about her. Nobody is that nice. She has a motive.

"Thank you for the meal. But I think we should go" I stand grabbing Jaemin by his arm.

We leave the apartment building and we see cars pull up next to us with familiar men come out of the vehicles with the 'nice' lady walking behind us.

"Run!" Jaemin demands. We we're back at it. Running, just as we started out this mission. We cut a corner and see a store that we duck into.

"Sir, we're being chased, can you hide us?" We ask the cashier.

"Get behind the counter" he brings us over just in time before the others came in checking the store.

"Can I help you?"

"Yeah did you see two teenagers come in here?"

"Sorry sir. But this is a store not a place for hide and seek I'll have to ask you to leave." He points to the door. The aggressive men walk out the door Leary of what the cashier was hiding. We come up from under the counter.

"Thank you so much. Do you know where the closest hotel is?"

"Here, I'll let you go out through the back door. Just go straight and take the first left and it'll be right there. But be careful there's a couple of stray cats back there." He warns.

Dang it.

Jaemin grabs hold of my hand and goes to walk through the ally way, hut gets stopped when I freeze.

"Jaemin. I can't go"

"Why not?"

"I'm severely allergic to cats."

He digs into his pocket and pulls out a black fabric, unfolding it to reveal a face mask. "Put this on. And I'll protect you" he grabs on to my hand again and sticks close to me walking through the ally way. We safely make it to the hotel without running into one of the cats or causing any flare ups.

"Room for 2 please." We walk to the check in desk.

"That'll be $300 a night"

"Uuuuh. How much would it be for a single room?"

"$150 a night. Should I book you?"

"Do you have anything cheaper?" I ask knowing that if we booked the single room it would still put a huge dent in our savings.

"Sorry sweetie. Try the Motel across the street. They should have something cheaper" I look out the window to see the motel across the street with a big glowing sign that was supposed to read 'motel' but was renamed 'mtel' after a letter fell off. It looked cheap. You can smell the cheapness from here. But if it meant survival, it's what we had to deal with.

Jaemin and I walk into the quiet lobby that played elevator music, that honestly creeped us out.

"How can I help you?" And old man said that I didn't even realize was behind d the desk.

"S-single room p-please" I ask.

"$20" he says handing me the key and I quickly pay trying not to be in the lobby any longer.

We walk up to our room seeing flies everywhere the occasional roaches an did could have sworn I saw a mouse run by. I'm not fit for the run away life but I had to get used to it.

"Jeno-ah. Do you have any extra clothes I can sleep in?" Jaemin asks still somehow looking adorable. I dig in the duffle bag and pull out sweats and a t-shirt , throwing it at him. He starts undressing himself and I stop him immediatley.

"What are you doing?" I cover my eyes

"Changing" he looks back.

"Do that in the bathroom"

"Did you not see the bathroom? Besides we're both guys here"

Yeah, but one just so happens to like guys.

"Jaemin we need to set some rules."

"Like?" He asks

"No changing in front of each other"

"Why? We're both guys"

"Yeah but I just so happen to be gay." I confess

"And? So am I." I was genuinely surprised. "Do you have another reason? Or is it you just can't control yourself around me?" He praises himself.

"I'm your dreams" I throw a pillow at him.

"Oh it's in my dreams alright" he smirks.
