SWITCH

22

jeno has a day left. he wanted to make the most of it by hanging out with his boyfriend because he'll never know how long he'll be gone. he could be away for months or worse, even years.

jeno was currently sleeping. he slowly opened his eyes and closed it again, he turned around to hug the person beside him, only to find out it's empty.

he opened his eyes and sat up.

"babe?"

he left the bedroom to look for his boyfriend, only to see him cooking their breakfast.

he hugged jaemin from the back and kissed his nape, "good morning."

"good morning. did you sleep well? let's eat breakfast," he smiled at jeno and kissed his cheek.

jaemin is getting used to the my-boyfriend-is-lee-jeno thing. this should have happened years ago. they should've been togther for a long time now. but jaemin couldn't compete with a 7-year long dream of jeno. he doesn't want to be that guy who ruins jeno's dream just for himself. he's not selfish.

jeno sat on the chair and just realized how much his boyfriend changed. from cleaning the house, cooking for them and smiling a lot. he also understands jeno more and comforts jeno whenever he's having a hard time.

the donghyuck jeno knew doesn't like cuddles, he prefers sex and is very lazy and he never cared if you killed a patient in a hospital you work in. that's just him. the total opposite of jaemin.

if this is a dream, i don't wanna wake up, he told himself.

"babe?" jeno called.

"yes?" jaemin answered while cooking.

"i know you're busy but uh—"

"you know no matter how busy i am, i will always have time for you, right?" jaemin looked a him and smiled.

it almost felt like jeno was dating a different person. like he was dating... his first love.

"what would you do if i did something really bad to you?"

"like?" jaemin asked.

"i did not do something bad to you, okay? i just want to know. like if i broke your heart, let's say... if i went back to korea and found jaemin and i told him that i still love him—"

jaemin dropped the spatula from his hand.

"are you okay? what's wrong?" jeno asked checking if he's alright.

"i-i'm fine. continue what you were saying."

"what if i did that? and you caught me, would you still forgive me? despite my stupidness?" jeno asked, hoping for a positive answer.

jaemin thought of hyuck's point of view. what would he do if it was him? he could just say good things because he's jaemin.

"well... at first i would be disappointed, maybe? but i would still forgive you. if you regret it, i will forgive you."

"i think..."
