FATED KISS, JAENO

Chapter 1

          It was a freezing night in Seoul, Korea. Jeno had to went out to buy his small dinner at the nearest convenience store that opened for 24 hours. He bought some onigiri and a bottle of water. Walking back to his dorm, he wrapped his arms around his body to keep himself warm. A fog came out of his mouth everytime he exhaled and made his glasses blurred by them.

          It bothers his vision since he can not see anything through his foggy glasses. But a male voice caught him off guard. "Why the fuck did she broke up with me?! *hic* it wasn't like I wasn't perfect? Am I not perfect for her?"

          Jeno could tell that the man is drunk and he hated the fact that he was alone with him on the bridge. He ignored him and walked past him. Before he could past the bridge, a hand grab him by the wrist making him face the guy. Turns out he's a student just like him looking at his student card hanging around his neck.

          "What do you want? Let go of my wrist or I will shout."

          "You're beautiful *hic* just like her." Somehow that compliment made Jeno stomach feels butterflies. Maybe because it was the first compliment since the last time someone told him.

          "What's your name?" his palm slowly going up to Jeno's arm, applying pressure to it by squeezing them. Jeno felt uncomfortable. "You're a complete stranger to me. Why should I tell you my name?"

          "My name's Jaemin. Na Jaemin. I'm 21 years old and I study art."

          Oh he was the same age as him too. What a coincidence.

          "Now, won't you introduce yourself to me?" Jaemin let go of Jeno's arm since he had a frown on his face the whole time. Jeno dusted off his coat before saying, "My name is Lee Jeno, the same age as you, also I study law."

          To topped it of Jeno gave him an awkward smile, showing his beautiful pair of crescent moon eyes that Jeno hated the most. But for Jaemin it was alluring for him to look at.

          "Well nice to meet you, sorry if I've been a weirdo yelling around. It was a worse day of my life today and I just got my heart broken." Jaemin said.

          Jeno felt sorry and decides to company Jaemin for awhile. They stood next to each other. "So how did you get your heart broken?" he asked. "She left me, telling me that I was too nice for her. That's bullshit." Jaemin sighed.

He understood what Jaemin meant by that. "It sucks when someone we dedicated our life to, decided to just leave us like that. I'm sorry Jaemin."

          Jeno glanced at him to look at his expression. He's good at reading people by how their emotions shown on their faces. He can tell whether they felt sad, hatred or angered. But the face that shown in front of him this time, it tells a different story.

        Jaemin looks like he's in love with him. His softened gaze made Jeno realized that he needs to stop this conversation instantaneously. "I need to go to my dorm back, it was freezing and I'm afraid that my foods will get cold before I get a chance to eat them while its hot."

          Before Jeno could face the opposite way. He felt a palm grabbing him at the back of his neck and the next think he knew, his lips met with Jaemin's. Jeno is in utter disbelief, how he wish he could've  never start a conversation with him. He pushed Jaemin and made him stumble a step back. "What are you doing?!"

          The realization hit Jaemin as he saw Jeno who was fuming. "Look I'm sorry! Its just my body acts on its own. I never meant to kiss you." Jaemin pleaded.

          "What a stupid reason to give." He wiped his lips as if to show Jaemin that he was disgusted being kissed by him. "Don't talk to me anymore." He walked away from Jaemin and never spare a glance towards the poor boy.

"I fucked up."

His mood is spoiled this morning because of the fuss happened last night. It's all Jaemin's fault, he regretted every second when he was with him. Now, he can't bring himself to go to class. But if he won't be attending class how he will be an honor student?

He gather up his courage and walked out of his dorm. If he ever happens to face Jaemin, he have to ignore him and pretend like they never talked.

It really took a toll on him because of what Jaemin did. You see being gay since younger, it's difficult to hide it. Only both of his parents and few of his friends knew. Suprisingly, They were really supportive about his sexuality. He never intend to come out publicily, he will though when he get himself a special someone.

          He slumped himself next to Renjun, who was busy finishing his homework. "Anyeong buddy—" a long, big sigh cut him off before he could say anything. He saw his friend faceplanted to the desk. "You good?" Renjun noticed the change of Jeno's mood today. He's different from yesterday.

          "Yeah." Clearly not. In his mind, he was cursing Jaemin out. 'I swear if I saw him again, I'm gonna fucking explode.'

          "I heard that we need to do an event with other courses." It perked up Jeno interest when Renjun said that. "What kind of event?" He asked. Renjun shrugged his shoulders off. "We don't know it yet still waiting for the announcement."

          The lesson went as usual, in the mean time Jeno decided to buy lunch for his growling stomach. Renjun already dashed off somewhere else, He forgot he has a club meeting he needs to attend.

        "Leaving me by myself, how dare he."

          He bought himself a set of kimchi jjigae and find himself a nice place to eat. Before he can settles himself, he heard a familiar voice calling out his name. Too familiar to his liking. It is the last thing he wants to hear calling his name.

          He looked up and there it is, standing right in front of him. Na Jaemin. "What are you doing here." Jaemin smiled after seeing him. 'Bitch is you blind? Can't you see I'm about to eat.'

          "Oh who's this?" the person next to Jaemin asked. "He's my friend, Jeno." Jaemin said.

          'SINCE THE FUCK WHEN?!'

          "Hi Jeno, my name's Mark." He reached out his hand wanting a shake. Jeno accepted it with hesitation. He faked a smile the whole time not wanting to make Mark uncomfortable. Why is he stuck in this situation with that son of a bitch. Jeno looks at Jaemin, he's so happy to see him.

Not long, he lost all of his appetites to finish his food. "Want us to join you?"

          "No it's okay, I felt sick all of a sudden. I need to go somewhere far from here." Far from Jaemin is what he meant. He apologized to Mark and walked away. "Is he okay?" Mark worried. "Apparently not, I need to ask him later." Jaemin owe an apology with Jeno. He really regret what he did last night.

          'Poor Jeno facing this by himself.'
