After Jeno dropped Jinhee off at her house, Jeno went for a walk around Jaemin's neighborhood. He thought about the young boys' sad face when he would find out that he is dating Jinhee and his heart began to hurt. He was now by a park and sat down on a nearby bench. The wind blew in his face and the only light was the one from a lamp post. The stars twinkled and the moon illuminated the sky. Jeno ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. He then heard a voice that made him jump out of his seat.

"Calm down Nono. It's me" Jaemin chuckled. He turned to face the male and smiled sadly. Unfortunately Jaemin could see right through him and knew something was wrong. "How was the date?" Jaemin asked causing Jeno to cringe. "Please don't remind me". But the young boy didn't listen. He wanted to know what that bitch did to his future boyfriend.

"What did she do?" "She bothered me" Jeno said bluntly. "Explain" Jaemin said hoping he could get an actual answer this time. "I just really hated it. It was nothing like being with you. It wasn't pleasant. It wasn't fun. Instead it was dull and boring. All I could think about was you the whole time and how I would rather be doing all those things with you. It was torture and I couldn't wait to get back to see your face which is something I want to do every morning when I wake up and every night when I go to sleep". Jeno hadn't noticed he had been rambling and Jaemin was turning as red as a tomato. He loved what Jeno was telling him and wanted to hug him tightly.

Jaemin opened his mouth to speak, but the older was still rambling so he listened intently. "It's different when I'm with you. A good different of course. You know all the right things to say and you know exactly how I feel all the time. It's impossible to lie to you Jaemin because you always know the truth. You always know when I'm down or when I'm jovial. I don't know how you do it but I don't really care. All I care about is if you're going to be with me the next day. And I ask myself if you would really be with me through thick and thin or if you would hate me for doing something horrible. Maybe I'm just being absurd or maybe I'm right".

Jaemin grabbed Jeno's hand and rubbed it softly with his thumb. The older hadn't noticed he was crying until a tear fell on his jeans. Jaemin squeezed his hand and began to speak, "Jeno I would never hate you. I said this before and I'll say it again, you're the best thing that's happened to me. Why are you thinking these things all of a sudden?" Jeno couldn't dare look at the male when he told him the truth. "I'm dating Jinhee". Jaemin immediately let go of Jeno's hand and stared at him with a wide mouth. The older male couldn't see his reaction but he knew it wasn't a pleasant one and he knew he had hurt him.
