The Lodger; Noren NCT

✿*｡ Five ｡*✿

It had been a week since Renjun had moved in and not much had changed. There was still a slight tension between the two boys whenever they were near one another, but other than that they had tried their best to stay out of each others way.
Jaemin had practically adopted Renjun meaning he had to sit with them at lunch. The Chinese boy didn't speak much, he usually kept his head down and only spoke when spoken to.

Jeno was currently stood at the sink, rinsing the dishes as he mother hurried around the house frantically. "Is Renjun still not home yet?" She asks from the hallway where she stood in the mirror, securing the back to her large diamond earrings.

"I already told you, he's staying back to do some extra work. He'll probably be home in an hour or so" Jeno repeats, placing the wet plate into the dishwasher. He drys his hands before grabbing his phone and walking over to where his mum stood, rummaging through her purse.

"It's Friday night, you two should be out having fun" she mutters, pulling out a ruby red lipstick and smearing what must have been the third layer of the stuff on. "Maybe when he comes back you should both head to the bar, invite Jaemin and that weird one with the red hair"

"You mean Donghyuck?" Jeno questions only to be waved off by the woman.

"Whatever. How do I look" she asks, standing a little straighter for Jeno to see.
This was the first date his mum had been on since his father had left and she hadn't stopped talking about it all week. As happy as Jeno was for her there was still a small part of him that didn't want her dating someone other than his dad.

He shakes the thoughts from his mind, taking a look at her outfit. She had on a black dress with a pair of red heels. Her makeup was done to perfection and her long dark hair was pinned up neatly with a glittering hair pin. "You look amazing mum" he smiles, laughing a little when he's pulled into a tight hug. He tries his best not to choke on her overpowering perfume.

"Right, I'll be home before midnight, you don't have to wait up for me" she says as she grabs her purse and walks over to the front door. Just as she was about to step out she stops and looks back over at her son "if Renjun isn't back by eight, call me okay? He's still not one hundred percent familiar with the area and the last thing I want is for him to be getting lost"

Jeno rolls his eyes but nods. "I'm sure he'll get back fine. Now go" he pushes her slightly and she takes the hint. Grabbing her skirt a little to make it easier to walk she makes her way over to the car, blowing Jeno a kiss before getting in.

He closes the door and lets out a sigh of relief. He had the whole house to himself. Any other time he would have thrown a party, but he didn't trust Renjun enough not to tell his mother about it when she got home.

Jeno locks the front door before running up the stairs to his room. Maybe he could just invite Jaemin, Hyuck and Mark over and they could drink here for a while.
Just as he was about to pull his phone out to message them he notices the door to the guest room was open. He knows he shouldn't go in but before he knew it he was already at the end of the hall, one hand on the doorknob.

He steps in, glancing around at the room. Renjun had really made the room look nice. He had put up photo frames on top of the dresser, each of the pictures being of him with friends and family. At least that's what Jeno assumes.
The bed was made neatly, not a crease in sight.

He makes his way further into the room, examining the pictures a little more. One was of Renjun but he had dark chocolaty hair and was stood beside a smaller boy who had blonde wavy hair, both boys smiling brightly in school uniforms.
As Jeno goes to move closer his foot hits something that was sticking out from under the bed. He curses slightly, praying he hadn't broken anything. Renjun would kill him for sure.

His eyes move down and he spots an old shoe box, the lid taped shut "the fuck?" He mutters, squatting down and picking the box up. Of course Jeno knew he should have turned and left but Jeno's curiosity always got the best of him.

He places the box onto the bed, checking the door before beginning to carefully peel the tape off. It took him a few minutes but he finally managed to pull the tape off without ripping any of the cardboard.
What could possibly be so important that he had to tape the box shut and hide it under his bed?

Well there was only one way to find out.

Quickly he lifts the lid, throwing it onto the bed and peering inside. His jaw nearly drops to the floor at the sight, a mixture of shock and amusement appears on his face. "No fucking way" he mumbles, reaching in and taking out a leather studded whip.
Who knew Renjun was so kinky?

The box was filled with all sorts of sex toys from dildos to fluffy handcuffs.
Jeno laughs a little to himself, not quite believing this was all Renjun's. He had seemed like such an innocent guy, Jeno would have never guessed he was into this stuff.

Weirdly, it made him like the boy a little more.
