The break has finally come to an end and Renjun was more than happy to start the semester without having to try and one-up Jaemin. He had already finished his Monday morning classes. Now he was sitting in the dining hall of the university with Donghyuck, Chenle, and Jaemin, who also didn't have any classes till later.
"Great it's a new semester and my love life is going nowhere," Donghyuck complained while stuffing the sandwich he bought into his mouth. "You guys make me sick," he directed towards the two sitting across from him and Chenle.
Jaemin had Renjun sitting on his lap while trying to feed the older, who kept on pushing Jaemin's spoon of food away from him, feeling embarrassed of Jaemin's shamelessness in front of the many students eating inside the dining hall.
"Jaemin stop, I already agreed to sit on your lap. I don't need you to feed me," Renjun rejected for the nth time with a tint of red dusting his cheeks.
"You haven't eaten anything Injun-ah and I don't want you getting sick, so eat. I won't feed you if it'll make you feel better," Jaemin reasoned while handing Renjun the spoon, which the older gladly accepted, taking the spoon full of fried rice in his mouth and letting out a satisfied hum.
"I think it's cute," Chenle stated in clash of Donghyuck's opinion. He admired the romance between the two, wanting a relationship like theirs for himself, but the guy he likes is so oblivious, he feels as though it won't be happening anytime soon.
"Whatever. Hey love birds," Donghyuck called out while throwing a piece of his bread at them, "Mind being all mushy somewhere else?"
Renjun glared at Donghyuck's bitterness as an idea came to his mind. Taking a spoon full of food, Renjun shuffled on Jaemin's lap, placing the spoon near the younger's lips, who looked suspicious at the offer. "Let me feed you, Nana~," he said in the most innocent voice he could muster. Jaemin looked up at Renjun warily before taking the food in his mouth, making Renjun smile sweetly at the action while looking over to Donghyuck who wanted to gouge his eye's at the sight.
"Oh my god... I think I'm gonna be sick," Donghyuck gagged, placing a hand over his mouth, making Chenle laugh at the overdramatic boy sitting next to him. Calming down from his reaction, Donghyuck glanced over at the two boys walking over to their table, sending a surge of panic inside him. "Uhm, guys?"
"What?" Chenle asked.
"When did Jeno and Mark become friends?"
Renjun looked over to the sight that made the tanned boy look pale in his seat, seeing Jeno and Mark laughing with one another as they made their way over to the table. "Oh... They met at the mall when we went gift shopping," he answered.
Donghyuck felt like he was malfunctioning. Knowing that the two people he likes already knew each other was suppose to be a relief for him, but now he felt even more nervous and worried about how they would react to him being polyamorous. "I think I'm gonna go now," he rushed out before grabbing his things to leave.
"What's up with him?" Jaemin questioned, finding it odd for Donghyuck to leave just because Jeno and Mark are coming.
"That's not my secret to tell," Renjun said while looking at Jaemin. "But you're already reading my mind, aren't you?"
Jaemin gave him a sheepish grin before slowly nodding his head, earning a flick to the forehead by his sweet Injunnie.
Chenle stared at the two in front of him, confused with what they were talking about, but shrugged it off once Jeno and Mark arrived.
"Hey guys. Where'd Hyuck go?" Mark question. He swore he saw Donghyuck sitting with them just a while ago.
"He has classwork to catch up on," Chenle lied, also aware of Donghyuck's crushes on the two boys. They both nodded in understanding before taking a seat next to Chenle.
They all shared conversations with each other, jumping from topic to topic, when a thought suddenly crossed Chenle's mind, making him gasp out loud in surprise, while everyone at the table looked at the boy questioningly from his sudden outburst.
"I just remembered something. Renjun, isn't it that time of the year now?" Chenle asked, watching as Renjun's expression changed from confused to realization.
"Oh, Fuck... Why didn't Hyuck remind us about this?" Renjun gaped.
"What are you guys talking about?" Mark pressed, eager to know what was so shocking between the two.
Chenle put down his utensils as he got himself ready to tell the three clueless boys, having their attention locked on him. "During this time of the year, Hyuck's cousin usually comes back from America to visit, but last year he couldn't make it, so he promised he'd come this year," Chenle explained as a big smile crossed his face. "Woah! I can't wait to see him again after so long. He must be more handsome than ever."
The three boys looked at Chenle in shock, knowing very well that if Jisung was here, he'd be crying off in the corner somewhere. Renjun, however, was also in a daze just like Chenle from the thought of this so-called cousin of Donghyuck's.
"I bet he is..." Renjun breathed out, snapping back to reality when feeling the pair of arms wrapped around his waist tighten.
"What did you say Injun-ah?" Jaemin spoke lowly near Renjun's ear making the boy shiver from the sound.
"N-Nothing," Renjun stuttered, placing his hands on Jaemin's arms. "Don't worry Nana, I only have eyes for you," he reassured the younger, who narrowed his eyes in return.
Chenle began laughing out loud at Renjun's words, "Yeah right Hyung! Didn't you have a serious crush on him since middle school?" he revealed, making the three other boys stare at Renjun, who began blushing at the given information.
"Y-Yes... but that's in the past now," Renjun waved off, not wanting Jaemin to worry about useless things, but that didn't reassure the younger at all. In fact, it made him more cautious about his and Renjun's relationship. They weren't official yet and he knew that Renjun could easily walk away anytime he wanted to, even for another guy that could possibly swoon his heart in a way Jaemin couldn't.
"What's his name?" Jeno asked while placing some of his chicken onto Mark's plate, who happily ate it.
Chenle beamed at the oppotunity to say, "His name is-..."
AN: Who do you think Donghyuck's cousin is? I'll give you a hint: It's not someone from NCT.
