Daddy Jeno | N.JM X L.JN

Chapter 6

jaemin removed his apron before changing into his white tee and keeping his jeans. as he finished changing, Renjun came inside the employee's room, it's also his end of shift.

"the workers that will take the next shift aren't here yet, yuta hyung and winwin hyung was told by our manager to stay longer till they arrive" renjun reported, rummaging into his backpack for a clean t-shirt. jaemin turned to him.

"Are they fine with it though? yuta hyung could be really grumpy sometimes" jaemin responded as Renjun nods.

"yeah, yuta hyung needs extra cash so having a pay for the overtime got him to not argue while winwin hyung's totally fine with it" renjun answered and smiled at him, a rather meaningful smile. "hey, you going now?" he snickered.

jaemin raised his brows at the latter. "yeah? I have a business with someone" he answered, more like questioningly.

"someone? perhaps is it that customer outside? he asked for you earlier" renjun teased. jaemin's eyes widened.

"he's here?" he questioned and turned to peek at the door, and renjun's right, there was jeno sat in one of the chairs inside the shop while looking at his cellphone.

"his face looks familiar, have I seen him before?" renjun voiced, looking like he's remembering where he'd seen jeno but then his expression enlightens as he looks at jaemin with wide eyes.

jaemin's brows furrowed as he muttered a, "what?" to renjun.

"minhee, oh my gosh that guy looks like minhee!" renjun jabbered, walking towards jaemin to hold his shoulder and shake him. "that's why he looks familiar, he literally looks like minhee, like a mini version" he added, amusement visible in his voice.

jaemin scoffed and removed renjun's hands from his shoulder before pushing him slightly. "aish, renjun. I need to go out now" he remarked.

"wait! why does that guy look like minhee?" renjun inquired, confusion visible in his voice at first but his expression came into a realization as he blinks twice, gasping as he covered his mouth and looked at jaemin. "don't tell me..." he trailed off.

jaemin sighed. "whatever you're thinking, keep it to yourself, please" he requested. "I still need to deal with so many things, don't add up to it, renjun" he added.

renjun nodded quickly even though he still looks shocked. "I understand, if that guy is minhee's...Uhm...father? I hope you've dealt with your problem, stay strong" he insisted.

jaemin smiled and gave renjun a slight pat on his shoulder. "thanks, renjun. you're such a good friend" he responded, "I'll go now, see you tomorrow"

jaemin grabbed his backpack before he heaved a sigh and moved out of the room, eyes fix on jeno as he walked towards the latter who immediately stood up upon seeing him. unfazed, unlike jeno who looks nervous, jaemin talked in a monotone voice.

"let's go talk somewhere else" he told jeno who nodded rather quickly, jaemin swears he heard a silent snap on jeno's neck.

"I know a restaurant nearby, let's use my car" jeno suggested with a nervous smile, showing his keys to jaemin who shook his head and looked at jeno with an unimpressed look.

"I don't have money for a restaurant" jaemin stated, raising his hand to stop jeno who was about to talk. "and no, I don't need you to pay. we will just be talking so why would we need to go to a restaurant or any sort of that? let's just go to the park nearby, fewer expenses" he finalized and was the first to walk out of the cafe.

jaemin rolled his eyes inwardly, kinda annoyed at how he sees jeno's previous action. he feels like the older was bragging about his money and wants to show off, it's not a kind attitude for jaemin to think it that way but it really irritates him.
