Daddy Jeno | N.JM X L.JN

Chapter 7

"you haven't talked to him since then?" jisung blurted out, coughing as he almost chokes on the juice that he was drinking. Jaemin had already told them about his talk with jeno, and now they're telling him how it's been a week and that he and jeno haven't talk again.

Jaemin frowned at how crazy jisung looks as he nodded as if it will help jisung get better. he turned to look at jaehyun who was now laughing while caressing jisung's cheeks. Jeno could only shake his head, when these two are together it's always chaos. it's hard to have friends who have a mentality of five years old. jisung was so dramatic when jaehyun was in America and now that he is back, jisung seems crazier.

"yah! it's been a week now and you haven't talked to him again?" jisung exclaimed once he'd calm down. "that's not the way of giving second chances, you should do something!" he added, acting like he knows it all.

"oi yah! I'm the one who gave him a second chance! why would I be the one that needs to do something?" Jaemin questioned in disbelief, pointing to himself. "shouldn't he be the one to at least go to me or contact me? it's not me who's making it up for the other"

"well, you've got a point" jaehyun seconded, taking a sip of his ice coffee. they're at the cafe where jaemin works, but his shift had finished so he's there as a customer and not a worker.

"it's been a week already and he's the one who's not showing up, he knows where I work at, you know, he could always get here to show how he'll make it up" jaemin rolled his eyes, irritation in his voice as he gnaws unconsciously on the straw of his drink.

after that day when jeno and he talked, he'd never seen Jeno again. it's been a week but he doesn't know jeno's whereabouts. he doesn't even have his contact number and he doesn't know where jeno lives, well, it's not that he'll go to jeno's if he knows where he lives.

"you can't go to his company?" jisung suggested, grinning from ear to ear as if he'd said the best suggestion but pouted when jaemin sent him a glare.

"there's no way that I'll go there, park jisung" jaemin hissed. "I don't even want to go to that part of the city where the company building is located, I'll just look like a peasant" he sighed, sarcasm visible in his voice.

"a peasant? Dude, the father of your child is literally one of the richest here in Korea, and you're calling yourself a peasant?" Johnny chuckled. "come on, you said that you've forgiven him and you showed that by giving him a second chance. it's time for you to stop being bitter because you've thought before that he had chosen wealth over you, jeno had said it himself that it wasn't because of that, right?" Johnny voiced out calmly, jisung nodded in agreement to what the older had said.

"yeah I do have forgiven him and given him a second chance..." jaemin trailed off before sighing and putting his chin on his palm, looking serious. "but even if he's rich, it doesn't mean that I won't be poor. you guys know that we have nothing to do with each other if not for minhee. he doesn't have anything to do with me, this is all for minhee"

"you two have a child now. won't it be better if you and jeno hyung will...you know...be together again?" jisung said hesitantly. he knows how much jaemin had hated jeno, and even though jaemin had forgiven jeno, it's not as easy as one two three to be together again.

Jaemin didn't respond. he stayed quiet, lost in his own thoughts.

be together again? and be hurt for the second time, perhaps?

"speaking of minhee, when will you tell the child about his daddy? poor kid had been asking for his daddy now as if he can sense that he'll meet him soon" jaehyun added.

Jaemin sighed. "I don't know, I literally don't have any idea of what I should do," he said in frustration. "I've once said to minhee that he'll meet his daddy soon, but how can I when I don't even know jeno's whereabouts? I don't know what he's up to. damn" he can't help but curse as everything is getting more complicated.
