3rd person

The black haired had to flee from his hiding spot because it was too dangerous. He could get caught easily because Jaemin was about to exit the shop.

Jeno pulled the black cap deeper into his face as the pink haired passed him. Luckily he went unnoticed by him.

The black haired looked at the pink haired from behind, his figure getting smaller and disappearing into the crowded place.

'So Jaemin has a boyfriend? The purple haired shorty?' The black haired thought, while still staring at the same spot, Jaemin already gone.

It felt like Jeno finally found out what Jaemin was hiding from him. It was as if he finally got the answer why Jaemin got so distant.

The black haired was hurt. Jaemin didn't wanted him to come with him because of his secret boyfriend.

"That's not fair, I'm his step brother. I should know about it first." Jeno mumbled under his breath with a clenched jaw, speeding up to the exit of the mall.

As his thoughts began to evolve, he got more and more furious. The feeling in his heart was just horrible, that certain unbearable stinging pain inside his chest.

So deep in his raging thought, he didn't noticed how stupid of him it was to speed up his pace.

"This will have consequences, I-" the raven haired mumbled to himself but stopped when a voice startled him: "Hey, what are you doing here?!" Jaemin shouted with a shocked expression in his face.

"I should ask you the same thing!" The raven haired growled, the anger taking over.

"What why? What did I do wrong now?!" Jaemin's tone got a little bit more angrier as well but he was also frightened at the same time. Whenever Jeno was angry, you should run.

"Let's go home. Now." Jeno continued to scare the poor boy in front of him. Grabbing his hand, he walked out of the mall while dragging the pink haired behind him.

Jaemin just didn't know what to do. Jeno was acting so weird lately and you couldn't describe it with words how odd he was behaving even if you wanted to. So the pink haired just kept quiet, head low while staring at their hands with a viable question mark in his face.

He just prayed that Jeno didn't witness the whole crossdressing thing.

...

After a while of walking, the pair got home again. Jeno pulled out his key to open the door rather harshly, yes, he was still fuming and by now he didn't even know why.

Jaemin flinched a bit when Jeno pulled him inside the house and slammed the door shut.

Looking at the shocked expression of his little step brother, Jeno just realized how awful he was acting. He shouldn't care so much about Jaemin's life anyways, they are just step brothers, right? But still, it hurt him a lot.

"Why didnt you tell me?" Jeno asked, head low to face the ground and hand still holding Jaemin's.

"Tell you what?" Jaemin asked. 'Oh now he's playing dumb again?!' Jeno thought and his blood boiled to the point he shoved the pink haired against the wall, the shopping bag, which was in Jaemin's hand, now falling onto the ground with a rustling sound.

"That you have a freaking boyfriend?!" The black haired growled, trapping Jaemin with both hands on each side.

Jaemin's eyes widened quickly as he began to explain: "N-no you totally got it all wrong! Lele- I m-mean Chenle is j-just a f-riend!"

"Sure, and I should believe you. That's why you have a nickname for him and kept hugging him like crazy!" Jeno raised his voice again.

"Chenle is already dating Jisung! And how do you- Why were you even following me!" Jaemin shouted back.

They were really lucky that no one was home, unless they both would be in trouble for shouting so much and fighting, which was so much despised by their parents because it happened often between the two step brothers.

"Yes and what about it?! Am I not allowed to know what my brother is doing?!" By now Jeno had already grabbed the younger by his collar, looking in his eyes.

The words hit Jaemin like a truck. It were the words he never wanted to hear. Every time he heard it or just thought about it, it shattered his heart.

'Step brother'

So Jaemin didn't say anything and just looked to the side, avoiding Jeno's stare.
The silence was beyond awkward, and so was their position.

"So this Chenle... is not your boyfriend?" Jeno asked in a normal tone again, softening because of the scared reaction of the other and gently placing his index finger and thumb under the others chin, making him look at the black haired.

"No he's not dammit!" Jaemin shouted, gulping afterwards to keep his tears in.

"What were you buying there anyway?" Jeno asked curious, and lowered his voice,  glancing at the shopping bag which was laying in the ground.

"N-nothing. Just clothes."

"Sure?"

"Geez what are you so suspicious about?"

"You're acting weird lately, you're hiding something form me."

"No you're the one acting weird!" The pink haired said annoyed, still avoiding Jeno's piercing eyes with his own, even if his head was forced to face the black haired.

Suddenly, the creative mind that Jeno is, a brilliant idea popped into his head.

With a swift and quick move, he snatched the shopping bag and dashed into his room.

Jaemin was too dazed and shocked to even process whatever was happening.

"JENO-AH! COME BACK HERE!" Was heard from downstairs as Jeno had already locked himself in his room.
