Jae's lonely life seems stable and dull until he finds out his son has run away from his boyfriend to fulfill some mysterious plan that might break two people meant to be or bring two back together.
"I had been playing with him in a commercial today, he's such a gentleman," the girl with bushy hair blushed. "And so handsome in person, even more handsome than on photos."
"I have made him the face of a few campaigns, he's really unique," the designer sent both a fake smile. "And you boy are?"
"Renjun."
"A son of someone important?" asked the blonde girl eying him up with pity.
"I'm waiting for someone," Renjun felt heat storming to his cheeks.
"Someone?" the girls winked to each other. "Mum definitely."
It was like a hit, so painful that he couldn't catch a breath for long minutes.
"Is everything ok boy?" asked the blonde girl.
"Who are you waiting for?" the director shook his head looking at him.
"Boyfriend," whispered Renjun facing his shoes.
The girls giggled madly.
"Boyfriend? You're a funny kid."
"Anyway, I have kissed Jaemin today for the commercial, I heard he's not dating any models he's shooting with, but who knows, I can make my charms working," the girl grinned when Renjun wished to grab her by this bushy hair and yes, pull it out one by one.
"He's here!" the girls squealed, both fixing their dresses quickly, the bushy hair owner took some lipstick out of her purse putting it on her already glitter filled lips quickly.
Renjun's stomach wasn't there, he didn't even dare to look up still facing the floor till a warm hand tangled around his waist, a gentle kiss fell into his hair.
"I've missed you so much," whispered Jaemin filling his skin with goose bumps when Renjun risked to look up on both girls, who were ghostly pale staring at him, the designer was trying to collect his jaw while Jaemin was watching him with an in-loving gaze.
"Hi," whispered Renjun blushing hard.
"I'm sorry it took so long, I hope you had a nice day," Jaemin caught his lips into a soft peck giving him an electricity shock.
"Jaemin... um... I mean..." the girl with bushy hair coughed.
"Oh hi, I see you have met my Renjun," said Jaemin cuddling the boy even closer.
"Is he...?" asked the blonde one.
"My boyfriend, yes, the love of my life," Jaemin spoke proudly when Renjun felt like lifted into space, where was gravity gone?
"Oh... yeah... um... need to go to the restroom," the girl with bushy hair pulled her friend down the room when Renjun sighed.
"She was hoping to date you," he said.
"Don't even bother and come," Jaemin nodded to the designer then pulled Renjun through the ballroom down a corridor towards a secluded space with soft couches in a quieter hall. He sat down when Renjun took place next to him unable to guess his own feelings.
He was actually mad of Jaemin kissing the girl in the commercial, even if it might have not meant a thing for him, the way he has come here to watch him in the same loving way, to kiss him hello, to say everyone including that girl he's staying with Renjun tonight.
"Was it bad?" asked Renjun.
"What?"
"The kiss?"
Jaemin just laughed.
"What? It's not funny at all."
"It was just an act," Jaemin shook his head. "No need to be so jealous all the time," his lisp landed on Renjun's neck sucking his skin in when it was difficult for him to concentrate, but he moved Jaemin's face away with his palms.
"Junie..."
"Tell me what have you done?"
"It all looks more in the commercial than what it actually was. The director was ok, he didn't make us repeat the scene more than four times, so it was ok," Jaemin sighed. "I was shirtless, but she didn't touch me much, just hands on my chest, nose on nose, a few pecks, everything without tongue," Jaemin was talking quietly when Renjun's body reacted with an avalanche of pain and squeezes.
"Shirtless?" he asked. "What about her?"
"She was wearing jeans and a bra," whispered Jaemin so calmly Renjun was shocked.
"So you were there almost naked kissing someone else?" he said.
"Renjun it's acting for a commercial, there are so many people on set, no intimacy really, it's an act," Jaemin sighed.
"I... Have eight missed tests at school I must retake because I'm here... for this nonsense," whispered Renjun, his hands trembling like his chin.
"Junie we've been through it, remember?"
"Yes and each time it hurts equally much!" Renjun felt the tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Why do you always need to hurt yourself instead of..."
"What!"
"Us enjoying the night," Jaemin caressed over his cheek, but Renjun pushed his hand off.
"Please don't cry. I don't want you to cry because of my job."
"So stop doing it!"
"Renjun, it's a few more years, maybe two, maybe three until I stop getting jobs that good. My age will soon become a problem, it's a limited time I can still live this job out to the fullest, be on top, collect resources for a stable future," whispered Jaemin when Renjun clenched his fists.
"You're young."
"Yes sure, but in the modeling world I'm not that young anymore. I'm lucky I look younger than my age," whispered Jaemin when Renjun's insides became even more painful. "And working for this brand, being a part of such a huge project is really prestigious."
Renjun sighed, ok Jaemin was really viewing it as a job, some honor even, only, maybe... or was it just a cover up, to not to admit that a part of him was still attracted to girls, or bi, or had enjoyed the kiss.
"How was your video?" asked Jaemin changing the subject.
Renjun just shrugged.
"Please don't cry. I don't want that girl to see you crying."
"Why?"
"Because they would do a lot to start an affair with me for a headline, and seeing you so self doubting could make them imagine they can threaten you, and I don't want you to feel threatened of self-cautious. I want you to be happy and proud, so they will know ok, Jaemin is with that amazing confident man who has him completely, no chances here."
"What if I'm not amazing or confident, or attractive, or right to be with you in the first place?"
"Junie stop! I hate when you are speaking nonsense like that abut yourself!" Jaemin took his palm in his big hands. "How can I make you smile again?"
"Just drive me to the airport," whispered Renjun.
