Jaemin's POV

When Donghyuck walked out the door, all my sympathy for the redhead was replaced with anger towards Mark. I turned to him, crossed my arms over my chest, and glared at him.

"Really? Reina?" I asked him with disbelief. Reina was rumored to have cheated on countless guys and broke another countless peoples' hearts. Of course, the rumors could be fake, but she was always so stuck up and snobby around other people. She thought that she was better than everyone else, at least, that's what it seemed like by the way she treated others.

"Come on, Jaemin," Mark rolled his eyes, making me clench my teeth, "those rumors aren't true."

"And what proof do you have?" I snapped. "Those rumors could very much be true. Do you see the way she treats people?"

"Jaemin, I actually know her. Sure, she does seem a little stuck up-"

"A little?" I glared at him.

Mark glared back. "Yes, a little, but she's actually sweet and caring."

"That's just what she wants you to think. It's what everyone else thought until she back-stabbed them." I pointed out, still fuming with fury.

Mark seemed speechless, so I continued. "She's bad for you, Mark. She's a bitch and she's making you one of her new 'play toys'. She's done it with countless other people and she won't-"

"Jaemin, just shut up!" Mark shouted, causing me to flinch. "I know what's wrong and what's right for me! You can't fucking control my life. God, you're such an annoying prick. Do something useful for once in your life and shut the fuck up."

I winced at his words. Of course, Mark and I fought, we're brothers, but he never seemed this angry. I wasn't trying to control his life. I was worried about him, Reina isn't a good person. I've heard of some of the things she's done. Why can't Mark see that I'm just trying to help? "Mark, I'm just trying to-"

"Trying to what?! To help? Well, you aren't!" He cut off, shouting at me again, causing me to shrink back as he walked closer to me. "Gosh, Jaemin, you are seriously so pathetic! You useless son of a bitch- just get out of my life! No wonder Renjun's never noticed your feelings for him, it's probably because he doesn't want such an annoying, useless prick to have feelings for him!"

I didn't even know when my tears started to fall. How could Mark say something like that? We're brothers, aren't we?

"Shit, Jaemin, I didn't-" Mark started, having regret in his eyes.

But I don't want to hear what he has to say. I don't even want to be in the same house as Mark, so, before he finished, I rushed out of the house. I ran as fast as I could, going wherever my feet took me.

I stopped running and took in my surroundings. I realized I was in front of Renjun's house.

Of course, I thought bitterly, I always come to Renjun whenever I have problems, he's probably sick of me by now.

Nonetheless, I walked up to the door and knocked, waiting for Renjun's perfect self to open the door.

No One's POV

Renjun looked up from his phone as he heard the knock on the door. His parents hadn't gotten home yet, so he had to get up from his spot on the couch to open the door.

He opened the door to see Jaemin standing before him, he smiled at the sun-blonde before frowning once he saw his sad expression. "Jaemin, what's wrong?"

"Renjun, am I annoying?" Jaemin suddenly asked, catching Renjun off guard.

"W-what? No, Jaemin, of course you aren't." Renjun quickly said, surprised by Jaemin's sudden question.

Jaemin didn't seem convinced, but dropped the topic and asked something else. "Don't you ever notice anything, Renjun?"

"What do you mean?" Renjun asked, sincerely confused. He didn't know what made Jaemin so sad and hurt, he wished he did, but he doesn't. It makes him feel hurt that his best friend is.

"Of course you don't." Jaemin said bitterly.

"Jaemin, what do you-"

"Renjun, I don't think we can be friends."
