Chapter 6

"Mr Huang?" The teacher called, Jaemin looked beside him, looking at an empty seat. It's been weeks since he saw Renjun. He hates himself for hurting Renjun, he blames himself.

He finally realized it.
The sudden butterflies he always felt when Renjun's with him.
The feeling of euphoria whenever they stay up late at night and just talk.
The feeling of comfort whenever he hears him.
The feeling of wanting to be with him forever.
He finally realized.
He's in love with Renjun.
Not with Heather.

And yet he can't seem to have the courage to go to Renjun's house and apologize to him.
He doesn't have the courage to knock at his house.
He doesn't have the courage to call him or text him.

"Mr. Na?" Jaemin looked at the teacher with a questioning look.

"Yes, Miss?"Jaemin asked.

"Can you got to Mr. Huang's house?
It seems that you are the only one that knows the way." Jaemin thought about it for a second before nodding.
He needs to apologize.
And maybe have his trust again.

--

Jaemin is at the front door.
Feeling nervous.
Scared.
Overwhelmed.
He kept debating himself if he should knock today or tomorrow.

Finally deciding.
He knocked thrice.
Waiting.
And he finally heard him.
The voice that he always wants to listen all day.

"Who is it?" Renjun asked behind the door, voice husky, seems like his been crying all day.

"I-it's me, Jaemin..." He answered, voice very tight.

"Jaemin...?
What do you want?" Renjun asked, but it seems like he wants Jaemin to go away.

"Can we...talk?"

"I-i don't know..." Renjun is very close to crying again now that Jaemin is here.

"Can you let me in?"

"Jaemin...
If you want to apologize, know that it's not your fault. I was being a fool. I fell for my best friend. I hurt myself. You didn't do anything, so it's not your fault." Renjun said wanting Jaemin to go away already.

"Renjun.
It is my fault. I should've realized it sooner. I let you hurt yourself.
So let me apologize to you.
In front of you.
Please..."
Jaemin pleaded.

A few minutes past Renjun and Jaemin have their heads on the door, silently crying.
Jaemin waiting for Renjun.
Renjun wanting to open the door.

"Renjun..." Jaemin pleaded again.

And this time Renjun opened the door, he didn't look at Jaemin, he looked down.
Jaemin stared at him and slowly went in to hug Renjun.

"Renjun...
I finally realized it.
All the time I felt butterflies whenever I see you.
The sudden euphoria I feel whenever we talk all night.
The comfort I always feel whenever I hear you talk.
I finally realized it.
I was NEVER in love with Heather.
I'm in love with...
You." Jaemin confessed as they slide down the floor. Tears slowly going down as well.

Renjun was shook, he gripped Jaemin's shirt, tears falling down.

"Is it true...?
Tell me, Jaemin...
Is it real..?
Or is it out of pity..?"
Renjun said voice shaky, he IS happy.
But he's also scared.

Jaemin let go of the hug.
Looked at Jaemin in the eyes.
Slowly coming closer.
Eyes closing.
And that's it.
They're lips touched.
Making it deeper.
Savoring it.
Loving it.
And they pulled out.

"Remember the song you made?
You said why would I ever kiss you?
You said that you're not even half as pretty."
Jaemin said as he caressed Renjun's face. Foreheads together.

"Well look at what happened baby, I kissed you, and I love it. Very much.
Sure, Heather is pretty.
But you're beautiful.
Too beautiful to be true.
Ethereal."
Renjun looked at Jaemin tears never stop going down.

"I love you so much, baby."
Jaemin confessed. Smiling at Renjun. Wiping the tears away. And gave him a peck on the nose.

"I love you too, Nana."
