so it continued, the next two months were spent sharing beds and heated kisses
jaemin had told donghyuck the next time about the arrangement. needlessto say he wasnt happy. he couldnt concela his worry for his friend and the possibility of a broken heart
he knew better than anyone else how hard jaemin fell when he did
it took a while for him to warm up to jeno who was oblivious to the glares shot his way whenever he would lay a wandering hand on a classmates back, dazzling them with his smile and charm
renjun caught on but mainly kept to himself about if, chenle and jisung were unaware too busy with their own confusing mutual pining
jaemin could no longer the ugly feeling that brewed in his stomach whenever this happened. he knew their arrangement was strictly no strings attached
it took 3 weeks to realize just what it was and he immediately confided in donghyuck about it
one slightly tipsy underage drunken night was when he spilled it all out. his head laying in donghyucks lap as the other absentmindedly played with his hair
"hyuckie, what do i do?" jaemin had asked, looking up at his best friend utterly helpless. donghyuck wasn't used to seeing his friend so lost
he sighed and rubbed comforting circles on jaemin's shoulder "honestly i would tell you to talk to him about it before it turns into something more serious, but i know you'll put it off"
jaemin frowned at his friend's words but murmured in agreement with the truth in them
"don't let it show that it's affecting you. make him jealous"
jaemin groaned and pushed himself up to look at donghyuck with an annoyed gaze "that never works, i've tried with you and renjun"
donghyuck slapped jaemin's shoulder with a little more force than intended causing the latter to let out a pained shriek and clutch his shoulder
"thats because he knows we're friends. it's not exactly out of the norm for you to act like a clingy baby with us"
jaemin let out a snort of displeasure but donghyuck wasn't fazed
"give him a taste of his own medicine" a dangerous glint appeared in donghyucks eyes, he stood up excitedly "yes! that's it!"
after reckless pestering from his beloved best friend jaemin reluctantly agreed
he ran his thumb over the indents jeno's teeth had left in his chapped teeth from a heated session the day before. jeno had seemed slightly more aggressive but had brushed it off when jaemin had questioned it
he couldn't help but feel himself fill with dread and insecurity as he walked u the stairs away from the flower shop downstairs, passing taeyong and jaehyun whenever they were home and greeting them with a polite smile
that feeling was washed away whenever his back hit jeno's mattress harshly and he met the others burning gaze
like an unwanted disease, it crept back in knocking at the door of his heart. screaming to be let in whenever foreign hands dragged themselves across jeno's chest as flirtatious laughter was exchanged between whoever jeno had roped in that day
jaemin prayed to whatever entity was out there that donghyuck's plan would work
