"When you cry, the world loses its goodness."

———————————

Jaemin hadn't spoken to Jeno, Jackson or Renjun in over a week now.

Renjun hadn't looked at Jeno or Jaemin for four days now.

Jeno hadn't slept for a weeks now.

And it showed.

"Hey bro. You doing okay?" Mark came up and placed a hand on Renjun's shoulder, scaring the younger boy. The darker haired boy sighed and faked a smile before facing his Hyung and lying straight to his face.

"I'm perfect Mark, why are you asking?" Mark shrugged before taking the unusually free seat next to the boy.

"Because I haven't seen Jaemin at school for like a week and Jeno hasn't been coming to practice. Nor has he been sitting with you." Renjun flinched and tried his best to look away without being suspicious. Just hearing those names brought him close to tears.

After Jeno had confessed to Renjun that night, he jumped up immediately and left his boyfriend's house. He couldn't bare the thought of Jeno loving another and not loving Renjun anymore. Sure, Renjun loves Jaemin, but he could never ever give up the tall boy with jet black hair even if you paid him. And hearing that Jeno liked Jaemin, Renjun was terrified he was going to be thrown aside and forgotten.

"-njun?! Renjun!" Mark snapped his fingers in front of the spaced out boy and watched as Renjun hurriedly apologised, collected his things, and ran out of the classroom. Not even bothering to wave at Bambam who was just walking into the classroom.

"Where does he think he's going?" Bambam huffed and adjusted the bag strap slipping off his shoulder. Mark shrugged and Bambam made a sound of displeasure as he sat down and voiced his worried thoughts. "Well...why was he crying?"

———————————

"Jaemin? Honey? Can you- Can you come out now? I've m-made you some cookies?" Jaemin's mother timidly knocked on his door for the millionth time since he had locked himself in a week ago. "Jaemin?"

"J-Just go away mom. Please." Jaemin croaked our through his sob ridden voice and Na Yurri officially gave up. She chocked back her own tears and knelt down to the ground. She ever so slowly, slid the warm cookies under Jaemin's door. Hoping that he would at least eat something, even if it was unhealthy. Jaemin knew she was still there. And he also knew he needed human contact or he would go crazy, but he was never going to tell his mom about what happened with Jackson.

Jeno would be good to talk to, if Jaemin wasn't ignoring him. Renjun would also be someone amazing to chat with, again, if Jaemin wasn't avoiding him. So he thought of the only person he could think of, that knew his situation and could just listen to him.

"M-Mom-"

"Yes? What can I do? Can I get you something?!" The reply was instant and it pulled at Jaemin's heart. To think that he was being this much of a burden to her.

Maybe he really was a good for nothing-

No.

Jaemin slowly lifted the covers off of himself and got out of bed, slumping to the ground. He crawled over to his door and knocked on the wood.

"Yes?! Jaemin tell me what I can do? Anything. I-I just wanna help." She was still there. Jaemin's heart rang in his ears and he sucked in a deep breath, mentally telling himself to be a big boy.

"Could...c-could you call Jinyoung?" He said rather quietly but he knew by the surprised sound from the other side of his door that his mother had heard perfectly clear.

"Jinyoung? My Jinyoung? P-Park Jinyoung?"

"Y-Yeah..." Jaemin answered and tried not to remember the reason why he needed Jinyoung.

"Uh y-yeah sure. I'll...yeah I'll call him. I'm just going down the hall I'll...yeah."

"Don't leave." His voice was small. Too small. And that's why Yurri stood up with he phone to her ear as she headed to her bedroom.

———————————

A harsh knock on the wood brought Jaemin out of dreamland and he held his breath. "Hey Jaemin, it's me."

Jaemin unlocked his door and it was instantly swung open by Park Jinyoung. His mother was no where in sight and Jaemin silently thanked the older man for telling her not to be here Jaemin looked him in the eyes and Jinyoung's heart broke as he saw the tears that brimmed around the brunette's eyes as he tried to bow respectfully. "A-Annyeonghasey-yo."

Jinyoung closed the door behind him and quickly scooped up the crying boy, bringing his head to his chest and rocking the pair. "Shhhh. Jaemin don't cry. I've got you."

Jaemin just cried harder and fisted at the hoodie that his elder was wearing, whispering on repeat some slurred words. Jinyoung frowned and placed a fatherly kiss to the top of Jaemin's head. Afterwards he wiped some tears away from his girlfriends son's face and repeated "I've got you", but Jaemin was already asleep. Exhausted from a week of not eating, not sleeping, and crying until he couldn't physically get another tear out.

Jinyoung sighed and easily picked up the too-light-boy as he carried him to his bed. He tucked Jaemin in, placing another kiss to his forehead before sitting on the couch in the corner of the teenagers room. He then sent out text messages to two people before he locked his phone and silently waited for the tired boy to wake up.

The one ❤️
He's asleep now Yurri, come see him now if you want to catch him before he wakes up again my love.

I need you to do two things for me.

Evil spawn of an Angel
Send "Jeno and Renjun" over to Jaemin's house as soon as you can. I'm sure you know who they are, it's important that you tell them it's an emergency - otherwise they won't come.

Evil spawn of an Angel
And clean your room. It's fucking filthy. Love dad.
