The screaming and yelling commenced, leaving a very frightened Jisung.

His bottom lip began to quiver with the thought of what that monster was doing to his best friend. Jaemin took notice to his fearful yet enraged behaviour, rubbing comforting circles into the younger's back to calm his racing mind.

"You listen to this every night?" The pinkette frowned, brow creased with his quickened breaths of discomfort.

After receiving an answer in the form of a nod, Jisung felt his heart sink. "How do you live here while listening to this? Why don't you go up there?" He pushed, finding the whole story quite infuriating.

"It's not as easy as you think Jisung. I can't just go up there. That's literally suicide, and I don't know about you, but I would prefer to have some form of a plan before infiltrating their apartment."

Jisung looked down at his feet. He knew that the older was right, but he couldn't wrap his head around the fact that Jeno was trapped in what could only be described as a living hell.

"Can I stay the night?" He meekly mumbled, looking at Jaemin through his locks of slightly overgrown pink hair.

Jaemin, who was surprised by the random question, nodded once again hesitantly.

"Do you live with someone that you should call, or..." the pinkette shook his head in refusal.

"I live with Mark, but he's probably busy courting Donghyuck," he mumbled, eyes straying from the shorter's face. "Poor boy. He can't see how much Donghyuck doesn't care."

Jaemin chuckled, finding the younger quite amusing. But he couldn't help but let his mind stray, and his body jump when the deafening thud of a body against the floor rung through his fairly empty apartment.

"I think we should start this plan Jisung." He walked towards his desk, picking up his laptop that he had accidentally left there that morning.

"I think you're right," the younger agreed, teeth gritted at the sound of a scream coming from above.

They stood still for only a moment longer before knuckling down to get to work.

Whatever plan they concocted had to work, or a lot could go wrong.

The evening had grown late, and the beautiful orange and pink melded with the oncoming purple of what would be another freezing cold winter night.

The two boys had a rough idea of how they could even talk to Jeno. His boyfriend was stuck to him at the hip. Jisung has explained that he was the reason he hadn't confronted Jeno until recently.

They now lay on the mattress side by side, staring at the blank ceiling, boredom setting in.

Upstairs had grown quiet only minutes ago, and the pair were conflicted with how they were to feel. Were they meant to feel relieved or worried?

"I miss him you know?" The pinkette murmured, voice muffled by his sleeve over his mouth. "His smile and his laugh....Him."

Jaemin found himself taking in the beautiful features of the boy that lay by his side.

"Have you ever felt like the world was just so against you?" The younger continued, eyes fixed on the ceiling that the pair could just about see in the darkening night.

Jaemin hummed, knowing exactly how Jisung felt. But he couldn't quite describe the crushing feeling he had when a small sob cane from the boy beside him.

"What wrong Sung?"

There was no reply, but Jisung did curl into Jaemin's side.

"I want him to be okay. He won't talk to me though. I want my best friend back!" He pleaded, acting as though the blonde could turn back time and prevent this relationship.
"Is that too much to ask for?"

The older could feel the warm tear patch on his arm where Jisung's face was buried, but he didn't mind.

All he wanted was to make Jeno happy, make Jisung happy and to make himself happy.

Not answering straight away, but instead examining the small flakes of snow that indicated the start of what would be a long winter, Jaemin tried to sort his thoughts.

He heard the small snores from the pinkette and couldn't help the small smile that fell to his lips.

"We'll get there Jisung. We'll get there."

Okay...

So I know I've promoted them one too many times over my different books, but my dear sisters have been working on some fanfics too.

If you haven't checked them out......you should.
