10 years, that's how long it has been since he has last seen Jeno. Of course that might be a little overdramatic since he still saw him in the hallways Junior and Senior year. But Renjun wasn't his friend anymore, Jeno was too busy with Jaemin and his new group of popular friends. 

It seemed like Jeno had completely forgotten about his childhood friend, the only friend he had throughout middle school. Renjun never understood how someones personality could change so quickly. 

The soft, shy, kind friend he once knew was replaced by a cocky, narcastic, rude, and ignorant Jeno. He wondered how Jaemin could change Jeno so quickly. 

He still remembered when he had told Jeno about Jaemin cheating him, how his heart shattered seeing Jeno leave him alone and the salty tears that ran down his cheeks that night. Renjun could never forget the look of disgust on Jeno's face. 

But after high school he had picked himself up and gotten himself into college. He had completely tried to forget the painful memories of his old best friend he had once loved. 

To his surprise he had easily gotten over the heart break, picking up the broken fragments and taping his heart back together with the help of his new friends. Renjun easily graduated with a Bachelors degree before applying for an office job. 

Renjun almost completely pushed the painful memories to the back of his mind when he had spoted a familiar face heading into the cafe he was currently at. He had just dropped by to take a small break, to drink his tea and stare at the passerby's. 

He had picked his favorite spot, the booth near the door and next to a large window. This was one of his safe spots, where he could cool down and relax. But he didn't feel safe when he relized it was Jeno. 

Almost instantly the pieces he taped together fell apart, his stomach dropped and he wanted to cry. All of a sudden he didn't feel as strong anymore, he forgot how fragile his small broken heart was. 

Renjun could only stare at him, he could only wonder how he was doing now. If he had a job, if he was still dating Jaemin and if he was still that popular rude Jeno Junior and Senior year. 

To his surprise when Jeno grabs his order and turns around to choose a seat his eyes land on Renjun's that quickly avert to the window besides him. Why was he staring at him, why was Jeno actually looking at him? 

Why was Jeno not pretending that he didn't know him, just like the last two years of high school. 

Renjun decides to not look up when Jeno takes a seat from across from him. "Renjun...I know you can see me, please don't ignore me I'm sorry" Renjun couldn't help but wonder why Jeno sounded so sad, so heart broken when the only one he hurt was Renjun. 

Renjun takes in a deep breath before looking up. "You want to apologize now Jeno? 10 years later when the damage is already set in deep?" Jeno winces at Renjun's harsh cold responce. 

"Yes because I didn't know any better back then, I was still a teenager back then you have to understand Injunn-" Renjun quickly interrupts. 

"Don't call me that, you don't deserve to call me that. And so was I Jeno, do you know how much you hurt me?" Renjun let's out a painful laugh, closing his eyes to stop the tears from flowing down. 

"I-I know but please- please give me another chance. I know what I did was wrong and trusting Jaemin who I only knew for a few years instead of my childhood friend. I'm sorry so please Renjun, I've changed" Renjun stares into Jeno's eyes that was watery with tears. 

Renjun didn't understand why, why now? Why was Jeno apologizing 10 years later. 

Renjun stays quiet for a moment before sighing. "I hope you know how hurt I was, watching you walk away and trusting Jaemin, fucking Na Jaemin over me. I hope you atleast felt half the pain I felt when you finally relized." 

Jeno winces yet again before nodding. "I do, I do relize. I relized too late, I walked in on him all over some other dude in college. 5 years of dating him before I relized he didn't actually love me....H-he only dated me for the sex Renjun." Renjun didn't miss the way his voice wavered at the end, how it cracked and how it was laced with pain. 

"I changed myself for him. I abandoned you for him and changed myself to completely fit his liking. I'm such a fucking idiot. An idiot for letting you go and changing myself into a complete prick" Renjun almost cracks when he sees the tears stream down Jeno's face. 

Maybe just maybe, Renjun was willing to forigive Jeno. Of course only if he worked for it. 

"Yes you are an idiot, an absolute prick that I never understood. How the fuck did my cute, kind childhood friend change into that? How could he abandon me when we were together so much?" Renjun doesn't stop the tears this time, he finally lets out the frustration he had been holding onto for so long. 

"Why?! Why did y-you abandon me? Leave me- forget about me so easily?" Renjun's voice cracks as he quiets out during the end. Renjun doesn't stop looking at Jeno as his vision blurs, not even moving to wipe the tears. 

"Because I was stupid, because I decided to pick Jaemin over you and I apologize. I relize my mistake now so please- let me make it up to you?" Jeno sounded so hopeful, so despreate to have his best friend back. 

Renjun stays quiet for a moment before standing up. He could see the regret on Jeno's face and how his face dropped. Jeno looked away in guilt, ready to watch Renjun walk out the door and run away. 

But Renjun tackles Jeno into the booth, hiding his face in his chest and letting out ugly sobs. "I miss you, I m-miss you so fucking much Jeno. Why did you leave me?" HIs words were muffuled but he could still hear Jeno crying. 

"Renjun I'm sorry- please you don't have to forgive me but let me treat you well, let me gain back your trust?" Renjun only nods, too busy crying into Jeno's tshirt and taking in the scent that he remembered so strongly and missed.
