jeno noticed how different jaemin looked today.
the younger wasn't wearing his usual hoodies he paired with sweatpants. he was in denim fitted jeans and a simple white t-shirt that hugged his body nicely.
and jeno could finally see his figure properly.
his arms and legs were slim. his skin a beautiful, honey-like tone and so soft looking. his waist, so small and curvy and feminine that jeno suddenly felt the want to hold him in his arms. he didn't know why he wanted to, either.
the younger took his seat next to jeno, placing his backpack on top of the desk and running a hand through his hair with a sigh.
".. where's your hoodie?" jeno asked abruptly, very curious as to what made jaemin change out of his usual wardrobe. "i only wear hoodies when i'm up to no good." the younger replied simply, feeling jeno immediately still at his words.
.. was jaemin serious? was he not? what should he say next? once a good period of silence took over, jaemin turned to him and started giggling.
the sound really made jeno's heart skip a beat.
"i'm kidding, i'm kidding." jaemin smiled, jeno exhaling a breath he didn't know he was holding. "o-oh.." the older stammered, feeling his cheeks starting to heat up. this hadn't ever happened before, and jeno was really wondering why now out of all other moments he would have in life, he began blushing.
"... can i ask you something?" the older inquired after some time of silence while he got over his embarrassment. "mhm," jaemin replied, moving his focus towards the paper in his backpack. he figured maybe if he didn't look at him, he wouldn't feel so shy. or, maybe it only made him more shy. he didn't know honestly. he saw the boy nod slightly out of the corner of his eye.
"um.. why were you upset yesterday?" the older managed to say, though he felt like disappearing when he saw jaemin's face fall. his eyebrows furrowed together, and he visibly restricted. the boy stared at his hands on the desk, ".. why do you care?"
"just asking.. i-i was worried about you." jeno responded, cursing himself for speaking so quickly out of nervousness. he realized his feelings once he blurted them out just now; jeno really was worried about jaemin. the boy wasn't sure if he should've said that, jaemin probably thought he was a total weirdo by now.
"and why are you worried? you don't even know me." the younger snapped. jeno didn't respond, instead he kept quiet. he averted his gaze down, feeling the sudden tension between them rise and thicken. he felt like it was suffocating him, and he didn't know what he could do to fix it.
a few more moments of this, and jaemin abruptly sighed. the boy got up and moved desks despite the one he was sitting at being his assigned seat. jeno took a breath once jaemin felt, biting his lip and keeping his eyes down; did he do something wrong?
".. it's fine, jeno. he just gets pissed whenever people ask him how he's been." jisung mumbled as he took the opposite seat next to jeno. the younger waited a while after seeing jaemin move away from him, before going over after seeing what happened. jeno moved his shoulders in defeat, "why?"
jisung sighed softly. "i really don't know, honestly." he muttered. at this point in their small conversation, the teacher walked into the classroom. everyone hanging out in their cliques and groups inside the room all dispersed to their seats. jeno rubbed his face and let his head drop on the desk, not knowing how to feel at the moment. jisung was able to see that in him, so he delicately patted his head.
"if there's one thing that could help you, is talking to shuhua. anything you wanna know about jaemin, she's the only one that has the answers." jisung whispered before leaving to his seat. mentally thanking jisung for the idea, jeno ended up thinking about it for the whole period before finally coming to a decision.
