meaningless [i love yous] [COMPLETED]

jisung let out a little scream, jumping at the sudden movement next to him. he was going to scream for real, or pass out, if he had to continue. whoever had thought letting him go into a haunted house for a variety show deserved to be fired.

"it's not that scary," chenle said, and jisung gave him a deadpan look before letting out a yelp as someone shuffled behind the wall. "they're people ji!"

"they could be ghosts," jisung whined, finding chenle in the dark and latching onto him, not caring about the cameras.

"ah yes, because ghosts would reside in a fun park." chenle said dryly, and jisung whined against him, nuzzling his face into chenle's neck and completely missing chenle's breathing hitch.

"they could! they could have built around the haunted house knowing that -" jisung screamed as a ghoul popped out, and chenle held out his hand to shake the ghoul's.

"hello, thank you," chenle said, and the ghoul nodded. "see? friendly!"

"i could have died!" jisung claimed, and chenle sighed, pulling jisung closer by looping an arm around his waist.

"there. now you won't die." chenle continued to walk, jisung's cheeks flame red and his heart about to give out. he didn't even get shocked when a hand grabbed his shirt, and chenle laughed at him.

"ah, this is serious," donghyuck said, watching the footage, and renjun smacked him in the back of the head. "ow."

"shut up and watch them be cute."

"we have! now the real question is if they'll actually realise what they're feeling is more than "friendship.""

"they will. it will just take time."

"then we should pick our favourites and help them!" jeno said, and they all looked at them.

"no. feelings aren't always something that we can interfere with. they need to figure it out themselves." jaemin said.

"but -"

"no."

the piercing screams of the two boys startled all of them, and they looked to see slime had been dumped on them.

"we have to do that?" donghyuck asked, shocked, and their manager shrugged.

"you two can shower in here," the crew said as the boys nodded, going into the area they indicated.

"thank goodness we had our mics removed," chenle muttered, and jisung nodded, trying to get some of the slime off of him.

"shower," jisung muttered, getting into one of the stalls and chenle heard the water turn on, jisung yelping about how cold it was.

"you didn't even get undressed!" chenle called, and jisung just muttered curses back about how gross his clothes were.

chenle peeled off his clothes and got in, seeing that they had provided shampoo and conditioner, along with body wash. quickly cleaning himself, chenle grabbed the towel and wrapped it around his waist, walking out to see jisung reading a note.

"our clothes are in the locker," jisung looked up to see chenle nodding, seeing his name on a locker and opening it.

jisung was trying not to look, but chenle looked practically irresistible. he looked back at the lockers and banged his head against the locker door, only to hear chenle make a noise of concern.

when he looked up, chenle was wearing a shirt and underwear, thankfully, and jisung could kinda breathe again.

"you look feverish," chenle said, trying to see if jisung was just freaking out from the ghosts still or not.

luckily, there were no cameras, so chenle could easily grab jisung's chin and pull him back to look at him.

jisung did look at him, but it was with a weird expression, and chenle didn't know how to feel about it.

it looked like jisung was either going to throw up or pass out, but at the same time, it looked like jisung wanted him to do something.

"do you need medication?"

"i'm fine," jisung muttered, pulling out his clothes and smiling wanely at chenle. "i have to get dressed."

chenle turned away, looking at the other set of lockers, hesitating before talking. "you can tell me anything ji."

there was silence, and then jisung spoke. "i know."
