Daddy Jeno | N.JM X L.JN

Chapter 4

"we've got nothing to talk about, lee" jaemin told through, gritted teeth, turning around and walking away, clenching his face.

second chance. it's hard to give jeno that when he had hurt jaemin so much. Jaemin just can't give him that, he doesn't even forgive him, he hates him so much, he just can't.

"Jaemin, please" jeno pleaded, getting a hold of jaemin's hand, which jaemin yanked away.

"don't touch me!" Jaemin exclaimed, shaking in anger as he tries to hold himself, there are people, they're in the sidewalks where people are passing by, he doesn't want to make a scene in the middle to many people.

"just—" jaemin paused, sighing to calm himself as he turned away. "just leave, please. I don't wanna see you, anymore. we've got nothing to talk about"

"don't even try to follow me"

after his words, he ran away as fast as he could, trying not to bump into people. he looked back as he stopped running, seeing no sign of jeno. Jaemin sighed, looking around and found out that he's already on the block just next to the block of his apartment complex.

seeing no people, he felt his legs losing strength as he leaned on the nearest wall, sliding down as he cried out, letting all the anger and emotions that he felt for jeno. it feels like every pain that he felt before came rushing towards him all at once when he saw jeno earlier.

"Why does he need to show up now that everything's going fine" jaemin muttered under his breath, sniffing and sobbing at the process.

another thing is, there's a part of him earlier that wanted jeno to follow him but he remembered minhee, if jeno will follow him, there's a possibility that he'll meet minhee, their child. knowing jeno, he may be like a child and really oblivious, but jaemin knows too well that jeno won't take long to realize that minhee is his child. heck, you won't think twice to believe that minhee is Jeno's child because they look so much alike.

Jaemin's heart was telling him to talk to jeno, to let the latter explain himself, but jaemin's mind says otherwise, telling him no because he'll just end up hurting again, and jaemin doesn't want that. he's stuck again between his heart and mind.

after crying and just staying there, jaemin decided to stand up, composing himself and wiping his tear-stained face, jisung and chenle won't probably let him slide if they see him in this state. and minhee, he'll be sad if he'll see jaemin like this.

"baby minhee don't like papa crying"

Jaemin smiled as he remembered his baby's cute voice saying those words. he sighed, feeling finer, all with the help of his precious angel. at times like this it's always his child that makes him feel better.

"Hyung, you look like shit"

Jaemin sent jisung a glare, he'd just entered the apartment and that's what jisung greeted him with.

"ssh! Minhee might hear you" jaemin scolded and looked around. "where's my baby?"

"he fell asleep, that kid literally played all day, I'm exhausted" chenle, who just exited jaemin and minhee's room, answered, getting into the couch and flopping beside jisung.

Jaemin sighed, sitting on the single couch after he put his backpack somewhere. Chenle and jisung look at each other, chenle looking at jisung as if asking him what's going on and jisung motioning to his eyes, making chenle nod in realization.

"so, what made you cry?" jisung questioned his best friend.

Jaemin sighed. "it's not a what, it's a who, jisung" he blurts out.
