"Jaemin you're acting weirder than usual" Jeno said as he examined the boy. He was frustrated and didn't know how to tell Jeno. "Maybe I shouldn't tell him". "School has been stressing me out" "You've been lying to me a lot lately". Jaemin was shocked by what Jeno had said. He didn't know that Jeno knew but didn't want him to find out why he was lying. "What are you talking about?" "That paper that you kept staring at,  I found it" he said as he showed him the said object.

"It's just my phone bill. I'll pay it when I call the company" Jaemin said. "Jaemin what's going on?" "Nothing" "Then why are you acting like this?" "Acting like what?" Jaemin asked. "Lying to me, being secretive" Jeno responded and sat next to the younger boy. "Is everything okay? Financially?" "Yeah". Jeno grabbed Jaemin's hands and rubbed it with this thumb, "Then why do you need a job?" "Money for college". Jeno sighed. He was getting nowhere but still wanted to try. "Jaemin, I know that's a lie" "But it's not". Jeno let go of his hands, "Okay Nana. I believe you". "I know you don't but thanks for not pushing me to tell you the truth. I really don't want to lose you Jeno"
