renjun walked through the gates of what i think we can all agree is hell. he checked his watch and groaned. his mother had to be at work earlier than usual for a meeting, meaning renjun was now alone at school almost an hour before his first class.

he decided on heading towards the old basketball court behind the school. they had recently built a newer and less rusty one so not a lot of people used the older one, only to smoke or study. two types of people, you know?

renjun however was one of the teachers pets who used it to study, however as he got closer he noticed another male was there. renjun stood at the entrance, wondering whether he should quietly sit in a corner or just find another spot. as he was thinking he hadn't noticed the other boy see him and also failed to notice how he was walking over.

'hey, you're the moomin boy.' the voice snapped renjun back into reality and made him jump. the taller boy chuckled and held out his hand. 'i'm jeno. my boyfriend jaemin and i work at the plush store where you bought a moomin plush.'

renjun nodded and shook jeno's hand gently, feeling slightly awkward. he thought both boys were quite cute and was disappointed to hear neither were single.

'what are you doing at school so early?' renjun watched as jeno picked up his water bottle that was placed beside the entrance.

'my mom has a meeting and i live pretty far away. what about you?' renjun cursed himself, as if it wasn't obvious that jeno was there to train or practice.

'i'm just practicing, my team has a game coming up at the weekend and i don't want to be the one person who lets everybody down.' renjun simply nodded in response as he sat down on a nearby bench.

jeno joined the blonde boy on the bench and the two talked for another half hour or so, already growing closer. renjun found himself laughing a lot around jeno. he was grateful and savored the time as his only friend was chenle. he wasn't used to other people caring about his life.

renjun was in the middle of telling jeno where his love for moomin came from when suddenly he was cut off by a squeal. renjun's head snapped to where the noise came from while jeno seemed unbothered and just sighed, not even bothering to look.

renjun recognized the source of noise as jaemin. the blue haired boy was staring at the two with one arm pointing at them. he had a big smile on his face and quickly ran to the pair, joining them on the bench.

'jeno, why didn't you tell me you were with the cute boy? i would've come so much faster.' jaemin pouted and jeno chuckled, pecking his boyfriend's lips. renjun felt confused, jeno didn't seem jealous at all.

'so you're telling me you'd race here faster for a boy you've talked to for five minutes than your own boyfriend? you break my heart nana.' jeno dramatically placed a hand over his heart making the other two giggle.

jaemin turned to renjun with a shocked face before pouting again. 'you have the cutest giggle too, jeno can we keep him?'

jeno laughed before putting a hand over jaemin's mouth. 'sorry jun, he talks too much.'

'no it's okay, he's funny. i actually have to go now though, i'll see you guys around.' renjun glanced at his watch seeing there was fifteen minutes before class and waved at the two. he stood up from the bench but was abruptly stopped by a hand on his wrist.

he looked down at his wrist seeing the hand belonged to jeno. 'sit with us at lunch? you can bring your friend too, i think we'd all be great friends.' jaemin snorted at the word friends but quickly disguised it as a cough. 

renjun smiled, thanking the couple before he ran into the building to find his best friend.
