The Lodger; Noren NCT

✿*｡ Thirteen ｡*✿

Renjun sits on his bed, laptop open, typing away frantically. He groans a little and turns the volume of his music up. He had been sat like this for over twenty minutes, trying his very best to drown out the sound of moans coming from the room next door. Jeno was being loud, but whoever the girl he was screwing was even louder. The bitch was practically screaming the house down.

Renjun grabs one of the pillows from behind him and pulls it over his ears, muffling the sound only a little. Surely they were nearly finished. He was secretly hoping for Mrs Lee to come home from work early and scold him but that was just wishful thinking.

He soon came to the conclusion that he wasn't going to be able to block out the noise. Gripping the pillow tightly he launches it at the wall before jumping out of bed. Might as well make a cup of tea, the sound of the kettle may just be enough to drown out the moans.

Just as he left his room, Jeno's door opens and a half naked girl comes stumbling out, her clothes bundled up in her arms. She spots Renjun and smiles sweetly, he awkwardly returns the smile, not really knowing what to do. He waits a few moments before she turns towards the stairs, pulling her skirt back on as she walked.

It wasn't long before a shirtless Jeno leaves the room, smirking at Renjun's wide eyes and shocked expression. "You okay?"

Renjun tried to form words but ends up doing a mixture of a shrug and a nod. "I-I was-um- going to make some tea" he says, pointing towards the stairs as he spoke. He was trying his very best to keep his eyes from wandering downwards. god Jeno was hot. Renjun had literally just sat and listened to Jeno fuck some random girl yet was still drooling over him? The fact that Jeno had this affect on him frustrated him to no end.

"OooO I'd love one" Jeno smiles, running a rand through his messy hair. That simple action alone was enough to make Renjun blush.

Renjun scoffs and pushes past the younger "I wasn't offering". Jeno had literally just made Renjun sit and suffer listening to him and some slut have sex and now he expects tea. Life doesn't work like that.

He makes a move for the stairs, getting all of one step down before Jeno opens his mouth.
"Oh come on, you're just being bitter because you're jealous" this makes Renjun tense, his grip on the banister tightens. Why the heck would he be jealous? It was obvious from the start that Jeno wasn't fussy and went for whoever he could get. Sure he was hot and Renjun wasn't afraid to admit that, but jealousy was going too far.

Renjun lets go of the hand rail and storms back over to Jeno, standing a little too close. He jabs a finger hard into the taller boys bare chest as he spoke "why would I be jealous of a slut like that?" He narrows his eyes "I'd rather fuck girls than you" and with that he turns and runs down the stairs, not giving himself a chance to hear Jeno's reply or see his reaction.

Of course everything he had said was a lie but he couldn't let Jeno know that. The smug look would anger him too much. He hated the fact that just because Jeno found a box of sex toys in his room he has the right to torment him over this 'kink' he assumes Renjun had. Even if he was a kinky guy it didn't give him an excuse to tease him for it.

As he walks into the kitchen he hears the front door open and close, he assumes that was the girl leaving. He was no longer in the mood for tea so instead he grabs a glass and fills it with water.

Three months. Three months until he could go back to China and never have to see Jeno again. But that seemed ages away. He groans tipping the remaining water down the sink and making a move for the stairs again.

If he was going to survive living here for three months then he would have to get along with Jeno without the flirting and constant dirty talk. It was obvious that avoiding each other wasn't working.
After he had spend a few moments calming himself down he marches up to Jeno's bedroom door and knocks. He hears shuffling inside and a small bang indicating something (or someone) had fallen before the door swings open. Jeno looks down at Renjun as he leans against the door frame and crosses his arms over his chest.

Renjun sighs, his gaze softening a little "look, I'm sorry for snapping" he says, fidgeting a little since he was never usually very good at apologies "I was just mad because I couldn't concentrate on writing my essay because that bitch was screaming the house down" he rolls his eyes a little "I took it out on you and I'm sorry".

For a moment Jeno doesn't say anything, he just stands there looking very smug. "And?" He says, raising a brow as he waits for Renjun to continue with his apology.

The elders face shows nothing but confusion at this. What else was there to say? Was his apology not enough for him? "What do you mean?"

Jeno laughs and places a hand on Renjun's shoulder "come on you know exactly what I mean" he smirks a little and Renjun rolls his eyes.

"Fine" he crosses his arms and looks down at his feet "I'm sorry for saying I'd rather fuck girls than you, I would never fuck a girl" it was more of a mumbled apology but Jeno took it as he figured it was the best he was going to get.

"Apology accepted" he smiles, stepping out of his room and wandering towards the stairs "since you apologised I'll make you tea" he says with a wink before disappearing.

Renjun still stands with his arms crossed and a small smile creeping onto his lips.
