As Jeno entered his house, he was immediately confronted by Jaehyun standing by the counter.

"What?" Jeno asked, aware that his brother was waiting to tease him.

"You are so obvious," Jaehyun remarked, laughing at him.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Jeno quickly responded, attempting to make his way up the stairs.

Jaehyun practically ran infront of him, putting an arm out to block the stairway. Jeno just sighed and gave up, walking back to sit on the couch.

"You definitely know what I'm talking about. You have the biggest crush on him."

Jeno stayed silent, crossing his arms together as his brother took a seat next to him.

"Come on, after all these years, you think I wouldn't realize you're into boys?" He proceeded, Jeno glancing at him through his peripheral vision.

"Seriously, we should talk about it, I'm not gonna judge you or anything. I mean, I even have a boyfriend."

With that new piece of information, Jeno finally looked his brother in the eyes.

"Wait, what? How come you never told me this?" Jeno replied, clearly shocked.

"Well it never really came up in conversation, and it also just recently happened," he responded, calm as ever.

"Tell me about him," Jeno asked, curious.

"How about you tell me about Jaemin first? How do you really feel?" He asked back, placing a hand on Jeno's shoulder for comfort.

Jeno sighed and let it all out, tired of hiding his feelings.

"Well I do like him, alot. We only met a few weeks ago but from the time we spent together, it's like we've known each other for years. It's just, you know I've never dated anyone, let alone a boy, and I don't know if it's too early to say anything to him or not. Maybe I should just wait it out."

"Well, do you think he likes you?" Jaehyun asked.

"Sometimes I really think he does from the way he acts with me, but I don't know, I might be imagining it," he replied.

"Honestly, just listen to your heart. You know what you're feeling more than anyone else, and if you feel like you're ready now, go for it. If you feel like it's too early, then wait. From what I've just seen of him, even though it was short, I could tell he does care for you. Even if he doesn't feel the same way, I know he'll understand."

Jeno nodded, feeling relieved that he was able to open up to his brother. He hugged Jaehyun and thanked him.

"Okay then I'm going to bed but remember, tomorrow you're telling me about your boyfriend," Jeno happily shouted, running upstairs to his room.

Jaehyun just smiled, admiring his younger brother.

"Ah, young love."
