jaehyun unlocked the front door with his house key and stared at the clutter his brother had made in his house."jeno!"
he yelled from the living room before jeno enters the room, his eyes going wide as he sees the mess.
"sorry, hyung. i forgot to clean after my bros left."
jeno was not allowed to have his friends over again because jaehyun was tired of cleaning up the house.
he rolled his eyes and cleared his throat.
"it's okay, just clean it up now."
"but—"
"now."
jeno let out an audible groan of disgust as he began to reach for an empty soda can.
"just because dad isn't home doesn't mean you can boss me around."
jeno mumbled quietly so jaehyun wouldn't hear, but he heard it anyways and didn't really care.
jaehyun opened his bedroom door and sat at his desk, resting his elbows on the table as he supported his head with his hand.
how did you pull yourself away from him so easily?
usually, all the girls he meet would immediately find him attractive and handsome.
they'd ask for his number and won't quit bothering him until he has to report the problem to the school.
jaehyun knew himself that he was handsome, but he wasn't conceited.
he also didn't really care about much in life.
but today, he met you.
jaehyun has never met a girl like you before.
the way you ran your mouth and back-talked him all day was just not what any other girl would do.
jaehyun likes that you are different.
he likes that you have a personality that is difficult to satisfy, stubborn, and feisty.
but if there's anything jaehyun didn't like, it was how you had just pushed him off like he was a roll of tape trying to stick himself onto you.
sure he wasn't supposed to be in the girls' dorm, but it didn't really matter because there was no one watching the scene unfold.
no one saw him.
but there was a secret he was never going to tell you.
jaehyun did not steal that pen.

the past few days with jaehyun were not exactly my favourite.
the dude was much too careless with everything in his sight.
every time i said or did anything, he would just act as if i was invisible or mock me.
but jaehyun wasn't in class today at all.
no, i didn't reminisce about his whereabouts and where he was.
i was just glad he wasn't there to bother me and disappoint the professor.
jaemin said he would be out of town tomorrow with his friends for the weekend.
i wondered if it had anything to do with him and i.
or if it had anything to do with how i could not express in words how i feel for him.
the guilt eats me up every day when i see his smile.
his feelings for me are genuine, i can tell.
jaemin is easily drawn in to me and my heart.
why can't i just accept that and tell him i love him back?
why can't i suck it up and realize there can be no one better for me than him?
why can't i just love him?

jaehyun wanted to see you today but there was too much on his mind.
he saw her again this morning and it could not be a mistake.
when his eyes got a clear view of the woman, he could feel his heart clench in fear.
jaehyun held a strong hand over his heart as his heart rate increased majorly.
it was overwhelmingly difficult to hide away and push back the wetness of his eyes.
his tears were threatening to spill any second then and there.
his thoughts are controlling him constantly and his heart keeps racing every time he thinks of her.
how could she have been back in korea?
jaehyun hadn't seen her for the longest time.
the memories he had of her were so precious to him and he dared not to forget them.
jaehyun forced himself to remember every second of her there was until he could finally meet her again,
until he could finally see her face again.
but what about jeno?
should he tell jeno or leave him clueless?
it wasn't like jeno could remember her anyways.
jeno was still very young at the time and probably could not understand the matters of a family.
jaehyun let out a deep sigh as he laid his head on his pillow.
he turned on his phone and checked the time.
you were probably asleep and if not, you were just about getting ready for bed.
jaehyun pushed himself off his bed and thought about wearing a shirt or a hoodie.
he pulled a shirt over his head and slid his arms into a bomber jacket.
it wasn't cold outside but he needed it in case you were cold.
jaehyun left the house after telling jeno he was going out for a bit.
