[the plot is still a mess]...

renjun felt the room go still as jeno stared startledly at yerin.
"w-what are you..." the girl stumbled back and clutched tightly onto her luggage as if jeno was about to steal her stuff.
"yerin--oh my god." jeno's voice was barely a whisper as he extended his hand out to touch her.
okay, i won't lie, this sounds kind of cliche. renjun's gaping mouth shut as jeno's hands gripped onto his sister's shoulders.
"why are you here?" yerin searched for her brother's face for an answer, gazing over jeno's looming body into the clean area. "how do you know renjun?"
☕
"wait wait--" renjun spit out his coffee, landing terrible stains on his white shirt.
he looked from jeno to yerin, yerin to jeno, jeno to yerin, yerin to jeno--
"what?" the two casually sat on the couch side by side in front of renjun.
"so you're telling me you're friends with my sister, who was supposedly dating your boyfriend before he knew he was gay?" renjun sputtered out, wiping his coffee-spilled lips and neck quickly with his sleeve.
"and jaemin thinks i cheated on him with some other guy while i went away for college because i broke up with him? yes." yerin slowly drank her cup of coffee before setting it onto the small white table in front of them.
renjun leaned his head back before shouting, "well, god damn! am i living in some kdrama or something?" he dramatically checked his hands and face.
yerin and jeno gazed at one another, both sharing the same confused expression.
"well i'm alarmed that you just happened to be yerin's brother," jeno shared his side of the pain.
"okay so--" renjun sat up and pointed a finger at yerin, ignoring jeno's remark. "you didn't cheat on jaemin, right? or is baekhyun-hyung the dude you cheated on him with..."
"no--no no!" yerin exclaimed, wanting to slap her younger brother. "god no! you know i dated baekhyun only a year ago--this whole thing with jaemin happened..." she counted with her fingers. "about three or four years ago?"
"okay but--" jeno budged into the conversation. "this has been really bothering me. how come i've never seen renjun before? even when i went over to your house..."
"our parents are separated," yerin gently reminded. "dad took injun, mom took me. we went to different schools. plus, if you did see renjun when he visited me in town, he looked like a complete loner and dork with his braces, long bangs, glasses, pimples--"
"alright, alright! stop! jesus!!" renjun scowled at his sister, forcing her to stop. "you don't have to remind me!" he crossed his arms poutedly.
"didn't you say you had work today?" jeno questioned, changing the subject as quickly as it came.
"i texted chenle and said i wouldn't be coming." renjun leaned back and stretched his arms. "also--if jaemin supposedly thinks my sister cheated on him, but she didn't...why don't you guys just tell him?"
"because jaemin still loves me," yerin answered without hesitation; after a second the girl clammed her mouth shut and silent swore. "i--not to sound full of myself or anything, but...he does. weirdly he does."
renjun raised a brow suspiciously. "what?"
"jaemin...loves yerin more than me," jeno backed up. "if he found out that...yerin didn't actually cheat on him and...is here..."
"so you two are like doubling up on jaemin?" renjun interrupted, raising a finger at the two. "why again? i'm sorry i don't understand?"
"okay i'll summarize for your dumbass." yerin rolled her eyes. "jaemin is still continously sending me messages and voicemails even though he's dating jeno; though i'm sure he adores and loves jeno...he still holds feelings for me--toxicly."
"and...so what?" renjun slouched in his seat. "so what if he has feelings for you still? just....just reject him again! it's that easy, yerin. jesus."
"you...really don't understand, do you?" jeno stared into renjun's eyes. "jaemin always gets what he wants, no matter what."
"i don't follow?" renjun's eyebrows pinched together puzzledly.
"yerin had to leave the country for 'college' because of jaemin," jeno let the words slip out. "but she couldn't tell anyone."
this made renjun's body stiffen. "what do you mean?"
"jaemin's not a sweet, dumbfounded boy, renjun..." yerin lowered her gaze. "he's...something else."
