Lee Jeno,

Hey Blue Boy, do you want another hint? It's been a good few weeks since. I noticed that you now have your friends trying to help you figure out who I am...It makes me smile but I won't reveal myself just yet. I hope this hint makes you smile as much as you make me smile~

Red pales out to pink~

Signed, ºRed Boyº

"Red...pales out to...pink? What does that even mean?" Jeno shows the letter to the boy next to him.

Jaemin looks down at the letter and smiles softly. "U-uhm...I don't know. Maybe they want you to look for something pink?" He says hesitantly.

"Maybe...but what is pink? Like a book? Ugh! I'm so confused." Jeno groans and slams his head on the lunch table.

Jaemin laughs and pats his friend's back. "I'm sure you can figure it out Nono."

"Could you help me?" Jeno looks up in excitement.

"W-what?" Jaemin coughs. "Sorry- what?"

"Can you help me figure out who it is?"

"What about the others?" Jaemin nods his head towards the 5 other boys sitting around the table.

"I already asked..." The older boy's face goes flat. "They all said no."

"Oh..."

"So can you please help meeeee~" Jeno looks to his friend with a pout and puppy dog eyes.

"Uhmmm..." Jaemin looks to Jeno, trying to hide his blush. Fuck, why is he so god damn cute!?

"Please Nana~"

Jaemin groans but nods his head. "Fine fine I'll help you."

"HAHA! Yes!" Jeno pumps his fists in the air. Jaemin groans. What has he gotten himself into...

~*~

Jaemin sits at his bedroom desk, glaring down at the blue piece of paper on the table. He spins his blue pen around his fingers, annoyed that he can't think of anything to write.

"Damn it! Why can't I write?" He groans and leans back into his chair, rubbing his face. He was supposed to be writing his daily letter for Jeno, but he couldn't think of anything. He can't do another hint- he just did one yesterday. And he still had to get to school to put it in Jeno's locker.
Sighing, Jaemin just begins writing about something random, hoping it'll lead to an actually good letter.

Lee Jeno,

Hey Blue Boy,

~*~

Ever since Jaemin had agreed to help Jeno out with the letters 3 weeks ago, the two of them have been collecting and connect each letter. Just to see if there was a hidden code. Jeno was desperate at this point.

"Nono, come on...it's getting late and we have a test tomorrow." Jaemin sighs, rubbing his eyes sleepily. He was staying the night at Jeno's, but it was almost midnight and he was super tired.

"Nana..."

"Come on Lee Jeno. We're going to bed. We can do the letters tomorrow ok?" The pink haired teen pats his friend on the back. Jeno just sighs and lays his head on Jaemin's shoulder.

"I really wanna know who it is Nana."

"Well, maybe they'll reveal themselves if you actually like them back..."

"What do you mean?" Jeno stands and goes to his dresser for some PJ's.

"I mean, well...lemme ask you this, do you like like your secret adimirer. Or at least like what you know about them?" Jaemin asks, catching the giant T-shirt his friend just threw at him.

"I mean...they make me smile...but I already like someone else," Jeno says, not facing his friend. A blush evident on his face.

Jaemin's heart shatters. He was too late. Jeno already has a crush. He'll just reject the person writing the letters. He'll just reject Jaemin. Jaemin can feel tears stinging his eyes but he holds them back, he doesn't want to cry because of this. He should have expected it, of course Jeno doesn't like him. He smiles weakly down at his lap. "R-right...well...let's- let's just go to bed. Come on Jeno." Jaemin crawls into the bed and Jeno follows after him- completely unaware of the tears streaming down his friend's face.
