CHILDHOOD AND MAKING UPpt 2.
after that incident, jaemin avoided jeno like the plague. it was only a day after their break up that jaemin saw the older boy hanging around the new transfer student.
huang renjun, as he'd heard it. the elder had immediately been accepted into the 'popular' group at school despite him being new, and jaemin was bitter as he saw jeno with an arm around renjuns shoulders.
eventually, but not unexpectedly, they got together. it broke jaemin's heart, but he pulled himself together and stopped himself from seeing either of them at all.
as the months went by, jaemin heard news about the pair, the most recent being of their break up. but jaemin didn't care anymore; jeno was no longer his after all.
so when he heard banging on his dorm room door at almost midnight on a friday, he pulled himself together. only wearing borrowed sweatpants from one of his dorm mates, jisung, he answered the door.
you can only imagine the surprise and mixed emotions going through his mind when he saw lee jeno, the boy he loved, standing there in a leather jacket and black jeans, jaw obviously clenched.
"jeno."
he breathes out, and it's the only thing that he manages to say before his back is against his hallway wall, and jeno's lips are against his own.
ohmygod.
is all he thinks before he kisses jeno back, arms coming up to wind around the elder boys neck.
he really can't help himself.
jeno pulls away gasping for air, and is met with an underwhelming slap to the cheek from jaemin, who's only just recovered from the shock of seeing jeno again.
the younger boy stumbles backwards, further into the empty dorm-there's a party on right now, and he assumes that's where jeno has come from, judging by his outfit.
"what are you doing here, lee?"
he hisses, and jeno winces as he opens his mouth to talk, slap mark stinging on his already bruising cheek.
"i'm here to see you, i thought you'd be able to tell."
he spits out, and jaemin's cheeks turn the faintest shade of pink, before he steps back again, and jeno only steps forwards again, keeping a small distance between them.
"jaemin, i'm sorry."
jeno says, arms coming up to press against the wall either side of jaemin's head. the younger boy is still hesitant, eyes fluttering shut.
"what do you want."
jaemin says softly, and jeno lets out an audible groan.
"you, again, please."
he says in response, with the younger scoffing as he pushes jeno away, trudging into his bedroom with the elder hot on his heels.
"please jaem, listen to me."
jeno breathes out, grabbing jaemin's wrist as the younger enters his bedroom, closing the door behind the pair of them. jaemin takes the chance to press jeno up against the door this time.
"why now."
he demands, and jeno holds his hands up.
"we've been apart for so long-and... and i miss you, jaem. i really do. please, everything was a mistake-"
he says, breath hitching in his throat as jaemin presses his lips to the elders.
"are you really being serious?"
jaemin says quickly, cheeks tinting a deeper pink.
"yes."
