"No, you two need to be here. As quick as you can, please-" Mark pleased into his phone, sighing when the line was cut off. "I'm guessing they're coming. They have to be"

I nodded, watching as Mark started pacing the halls and pulling at his hair. I sighed, my arms meeting around his waist as I pulled myself closer to him.

"Calm down, everything'll be fine" I said with a smile, kissing his lips briefly and softly. I heard a cough from next to us, and I pulled away from Mark, laughing awkwardly.

"Damn, now I feel even more lonely"

Mark suddenly had to rush to the hospital half way through his training, and one of the idols on the company decided to follow just so he could actually tell the manager that Mark was where he said he'd be.

"Sorry" I muttered, and he just laughed, shrugging.

"I don't mind, actually, it's the company I'm worried about. I think you two are cute"

Mark suddenly gasped, making me look at him in confusion before he spoke again. "God, I forgot. Taeyong...you wouldn't tell anyone on us, would you?"

Taeyong shook his head, laughing. "Of course not, I've been there with Seul-"

"WE'RE HERE, WHAT HAPPENED?" A loud screech came from the end of the corridor, where Jaemin and Jeno were running towards us, cutting Taeyong off in the process. Donghyuck turned to glare at the two, signalling them to be quiet before nodding towards the door of Renjun's room.

"The nurses said you can go in when you turn up, Taeyong checked for us" Mark said, making Jaemin hesitantly turn to Taeyong, immediately bowing to him before Jeno rolled his eyes, grabbing Jaemin's hand and pulling him into Renjun's room silently.

The two were greeted with the sight of two nurses crouched down at the side of the bed, with Renjun sat up against the wall and back towards Jaemin and Jeno. Jaemin felt Jeno squeeze his hand lightly, noticing how the younger's eyes were glistening.

"Injoon..."

The nurses looked up when they heard Jaemin's quiet voice, one of them tapping Renjun's shoulder, but the boy shook his head.

"I don't want to talk to them"

Those simple words broke Jeno's heart; he hated how quiet Renjun was, how strained his voice was, how obvious it was that the boy was feeling so much- no, too much pain. Jaemin shook his head, looking at the nurses.

"Can we..."

"Call us in if you need anyone, he should be okay now, or at least enough to not be under supervision" One of them said, before the two of them left the room and only Jaemin, Jeno and Renjun remained there. It was awkwardly silent for a while, until Jaemin day on his knees just behind Renjun on his bed, putting s hand on his shoulder and leaving Jeno stood up.

"Renjun, please, just talk to us. We won't judge, we're just happy that you're still here-"

"Speak for yourself" Renjun scoffed, finally turning to face Jaemin, his face cold and eyes empty of any emotion. "You have no idea what I've had to put up with-"

Jaemin cut him off immediately. "We read your letter"

All colour ran out of Renjun's face as the room dropped quiet, Jeno being the only one to move and crouch down in front of Renjun. He grabbed the Chinese boy's hands, smiling at him.

"So...you're okay with Poly relationships, right?" Jeno asked, making Renjun look straight at him while he waited for Jeno to expand. "Because we definitely are"

Renjun shook his head, pulling his hands away from Jeno's and looking down to his lap. "This is a sympathy thing, I know it is. Any other time...you wouldn't think about it...I don't want to ruin anything and I definitely don't want sympathy-"

"Injoon, I've told you so many times the reason I stayed single for so long" Jaemin cut him off yet again. "I even told Jeno after we got together...I told him I liked someone else at the same time. It was confusing at first, until he came to the realisation that he felt the same way"

"Remember when I told you that I liked another person when me and Chumin were still a thing?" Jeno spoke up, this this time sitting next to Renjun on the bed. "I told you that again once I got with Jaemin, didn't I?"

"Yeah, and it was Chumin, you only just broke up"

"It's you, not Chumin. You know how confused I was at that point...I just stopped seeing Chumin in that way completely when I realised that it's you I like" Jeno laughed, grabbing hold of Renjun's hand again. "We'd never do anything like this out of sympathy, because it's just messing with you. We had a conversation about what to do for about three hours, and we decided that we don't want to leave you out"

Jaemin moved slightly closer to Renjun, putting his chin on the oldest's shoulder. "We both love each other, we both love you, you love us both. We can't ignore that, so...what do you think?" He said with a smile, burying his face in Renjun's neck. This made the Chinese boy shiver slightly, but a smile crept onto his face at the same time. He looked at Jeno, who too was smiling softly, waiting for Renjun's response.

"I-um...o-okay..."

What a terrible chapter but I had to get something out lmaooo it's been a while.
