Cupid - NCT Dream - NOREN

Part 4

Time passed and it became a normal thing for Renjun and his friends to join Jeno for lunch, and the two boys did spend a lot of time together, whenever they had tests coming up they studied together and just like that a month went past since this all started, and although Renjun remembered that the whole thing started with Jeno wanting to help him get Jaemin, he didn't care that much anymore.

He was just thankful to have Jeno as his friend, plus the whole thing of having Jaemin like him back completely slipped his mind, and even his friends picked up on the change in Renjun, they always believed that Renjun had a crush on Jeno so they didn't understand why he was so calm around Jeno if he was the one Renjun liked.

But then it struck them, the person who was always next to Jeno was Jaemin and it made sense finally, the reason Renjun could be that comfortable with Jeno was that Jeno wasn't the one Renjun liked after all.

The weekend came around and Jeno was laying on Jaemin's bed, it was normal for the two they often spent the weekends at one another's houses, Jaemin was getting snacks and Jeno was busy chatting with Renjun who was complaining about his roommate who was nagging him because he accidentally messed paint on the floor.

When Jaemin got back into the room, Jeno placed his phone down when he heard Jaemin laugh a little. The boy sat down next to Jeno and looked at him for a little while.

"So Renjun... you really care for him huh?" Jaemin said with a big smile.

"Of course, he is a really great friend," Jeno said, causing Jaemin to shake his head.

"That's not what I mean Jen... do you like Renjun? Usually, you don't care about making friends, and just before school started you said you won't be making friends because it's our last year and you want to do well, so I am just curious after you said those things why go out and befriend someone?" Jaemin said, and Jeno thought about it a little.

"Even if I liked him Jaem it doesn't matter, he already has someone he likes, maybe even loves so I am just a friend okay? That's all I will ever be" Jeno explained to Jaemin and Jaemin squinted his eyes at his friend, he couldn't believe his friend finally found someone he liked but it was one-sided.

'Not on my watch Mister, I will make him fall in love with you no matter what' Jaemin thought to himself, he wanted Jeno to be happy, the boy had fallen in love before but it didn't work out and he felt really bad because the person turned Jeno down and it was the first person Jeno fell in love with and he saw just how much it broke his friend and he definitely didn't want to happen again.

"Oh, by the way, Renjun has a recital next weekend he invited all of us to come to watch," Jeno said as he took the Jellies that Jaemin brought earlier.

"Oe what are they performing?"

"Romeo and Juliet, after some though competition Renjun got the part of Romeo, Mr. Kim said he believed Renjun was the best for the role and I completely agree"

"I definitely have to see this, you went to his practice so much I hardly saw you after school, so count me in," Jaemin said excitedly and all Jeno could do was smile, he hoped that Renjun would be happy that Jaemin came to watch him perform.

The two friends spent the rest of their day just lounging around catching up a little as well and both of their minds running with ideas.

Jaemin wanting to figure out how he can make Renjun fall for Jeno.

Jeno being happy that he is making progress on his plan to get Jaemin to fall for Renjun.
