renjun had explained to the group about what happened at the party and his new relationship with jaemin. chenle and jisung even stopped playing their video games to listen in on the conversation.

"so what's been bothering you?" jisung asked, not caring who he was dating. he just wanted to know the interest portion of it.

"i don't know it just seems so stupid..." renjun murmured. chenle was able to catch his words, taking renjun's hand when he did.

"renjun, whatever you're feeling is only human so it isn't stupid. you're feelings are valid, okay?" renjun nodded, taking a deep breath.

"i've just been kinda...i don't know...the way he talks to his colleagues is just so weird and— i just don't like it.." renjun continued babbling while the others gave each other a knowing look.

"you're jealous of the way he talks to his colleagues." jeno interrupted. renjun froze as his face flushed red, "it's alright, ren. it's normal." jeno pat the smaller's back. haechan nodded in agreement.

"mhm, just tell him that. it will make your relationship and your trust for each other stronger."

"yeah, you always tell me communication is key to everything so what makes this any different?" jisung added. the four watched as renjun thought long and hard, his eyebrows knitting together.

"you guys are so right," he facepalmed, "why didn't i just tell him in the first place." he sighed.

"because you're dumb." chenle laughed, the others joining in while renjun just threatened him. "tell him tomorrow. it's never too late." jeno whipped his tears of laughter away, "i think it would be nice if we met him too."

"have him join us tomorrow!" haechan announced.

"look at you making plans in my apartment." renjun rolled his eyes, clearing not too fond of that idea.

"if you don't, i will."

renjun sighed, agreeing to just bring jaemin over. despite them meeting up, renjun always knew he could count on these four to give him advice. he didn't always see the big picture and they always helped him do that. even if he got teased in the process, it would always be worth it. so the next day, renjun did exactly what they had said.

jaemin sat at his desk as usual, editing papers with his gold rimmed specs sitting on his nose bridge. suddenly there was a soft knock on the door that confused him. he never had any visitors on mondays.

"come in," he called. the door creaked open revealing renjun. jaemin smiled as he watched the older quietly close the door, "renjun, good afternoon." jaemin walked over to the older, engulfing him into a hug. almost lifting renjun off his feet.

renjun giggled before he spoke, "i wanted to talk to you...about yesterday," he looked up to meet the younger's gaze, "i'm sorry i didn't tell you then. but i guess i was a little jealous by the way you were talking to your colleagues."

it took a while for jaemin to process everything but when he did, he let out a breathy chuckle. renjun pout at that but jaemin made sure to assure him that he wasn't laughing at the way he felt. he wanted renjun to trust him and to continue to tell him things like these.

"it's no problem, renjun-ah. i'm really happy that you told me. that's all that really matters to me, it's that you trusted me enough to be honest about everything." the older nodded. jaemin leaned down and softly kissed his forehead.

expecting renjun to get flustered, the older hit his chest, "at least warn me!" he blushed. jaemin was surprised but soon laughed, hugging him tightly. that's when renjun remembered jeno and haechan's request— no, demand. "oh! my friends want to meet you today!" renjun said pulling away.

"are you okay with that?" and of course jaemin was more than happy to meet renjun's friends. with all the funny stories he tells about them, he really looked forward to the chaos.

—

jaemin stood beside the older in front of the apartment room as renjun struggled to find the key. jaemin even noticed his hands shaking as he tried to find the right one that would fit into the door.

"are you nervous, pretty?" jaemin tilted his head as he smiled.

"not nervous, i just don't want them to say anything stupid." jaemin hummed in return. the older seemed to be stalling instead of actually trying to unlock the door.

"how about we just knock? aren't they already here?"

"oh...right.."renjun chuckled nervously as he wrapped his sweaty hand around the doorknob, "you know what? it's okay, you can just meet them another—" jaemin just opened the door himself finding it already unlocked. the four other male's turned their attention to the two.

"mr. na!" haechan shouted, running over towards the two, "nice to meet you. as my friends boyfriend at least." the two shook hands.

"you too, and jaemin is fine." renjun then introduced him jeno, and before he could introduce him the younger boys, they beat him to it.

"so you're the man he's always talking about?" jisung asked. jaemin laughed.

"yeah, i guess so."

"he said you're higher in rank or something, so i thought you were kinda old." the other three tried to conceal their laughter.

"sorry about them, this is chenle and jisung. they're still in high school as you can tell." renjun glared.

to renjun's surprise they all got along well. renjun even found out a few surprising things about the younger. one of them being that he has a really weird and clumsy side to him. and he thought that was adorable. jisung even tried to teach him how to play videos games but he just looked so lost while trying to play it.

"i'm terrible at these things."

"it's okay, you play better than renjun." haechan joked. chenle's dolphin laughter startled jaemin but the others weren't too phased by it.

"you'll get used to that, i promise." jeno giggled.
