The Lodger; Noren NCT

✿*｡ Thirty ｡*✿

Why did they constantly go around in circles? They would argue, make up, make out and then one of them would get pissed off and they're at square one again.
It was obvious Jeno was in a mood with Renjun although he didn't exactly know what he'd done wrong. It wasn't his fault Mrs Lee came home early.

There was obvious tension that night at dinner, and not the good kind either.
Jeno was practically acting like Renjun wasn't even there. Even when Mrs Lee spoke to the Chinese male, Jeno would change the topic of the conversation just so Renjun wasn't part of it. Strangely, Mrs Lee didn't seem to notice.

Once dinner was over, both boys offer to wash up and this time Jeno's mother lets them, leaving them to it.

Renjun awkwardly collects the empty plates from the table and hand them over to Jeno who put them into the sink, rinsing them in silence.
Renjun wasn't the type for confronting people but this was getting ridiculous. "Okay" he says, crossing his arms over his chest "what the fuck have I done that pissed you off this time?"

Jeno only laughs bitterly "pissed me off? Isn't it usually you who throws temper tantrums when you can't accept the fact you've had fun" Jeno mutters, putting the last dish into the dishwasher and walking off towards the door.

"What the fuck did I do?" Renjun repeats causing Jeno to stop walking.

"Renjun-"

"Is it because we didn't get to have sex?" He interrupts, shocking Jeno a little. "Is that the reason you're mad at me? Well I'm sorry I didn't want to get caught by your mum!" He whisper yells, a scowl on his face.

Jeno didn't say anything for a moment before nodding for Renjun to follow him. Of course Renjun could have been a complete brat and refused but he felt like he'd already pushed his luck a little.
Who knew Jeno was so sensitive about this stuff?

He follows Jeno upstairs and hesitates a little before stepping into the younger boys bedroom. He gives Jeno a questioning look as he shuts the door.
"So you wouldn't mind if we picked up where we left off?" he asks.

It was strange, one part of Renjun wanted to say yes and leap onto Jeno. Of course he would like to carry on, but after the way Jeno had just treated him there was no way in hell that was going to happen.

Renjun scoffs and rests his hand on the doorknob "you must think I'm hella desperate if you think I'd say yes after the way you treated me" he opens the door but Jeno stops him.

"But you made a deal-"

"Forget it! I'm a human being not some toy. I know you may find that hard to believe since you're such a narrow minded guy who doesn't give a shit about how anyone feels!" He yells, shocking Jeno a little by the outburst. Renjun couldn't quite believe he had said all that but he felt better for it even if he knew Jeno wouldn't care.
The blonde laughs a little, his eyes narrowing "woah, I guess I really do hate you now" and with that he left, not once glancing back to see Jeno's reaction.

Once he got to the guest room he closes the door and locks it before grabbing his laptop and opening it up. He'd been thinking of doing this for a while but the thought of offending Mrs Lee had always stopped him since she'd been great. But he'd thought up all the excuses he could use if it ever came to this.

He opens up a search engine and hesitates a moment before typing away at the keyboard.
