Daddy Jeno | N.JM X L.JN

Chapter 8

"ZHONG CHENLE! LEE JENO! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY KITCHEN?!"

dirty counter, unwashed plates, and utensils piling on the sink, dirty pots and casseroles placed just beside the sink and the smell of burnt foods are making jaemin even madder. he swears, his kitchen is a real mess at the moment at it's giving him a major headache. even minhee had never made this much mess in the apartment.

Chenle without thinking, quickly pointed to a frozen jeno who was in the middle of the kitchen, holding a mixing bowl and a whisk.

"This was his fault, he had dragged me to your sacred kitchen to cook when we're both clueless of it" chenle told jaemin quickly.

Jeno's eyes widened and immediately ran towards the counter to place what's his holding on top of it before looking at jaemin and shaking his head, disagreeing with chenle's statement.

"let me explain!" Jeno exclaimed rather loudly that it made his voice break.

Jeno could feel himself turning red when chenle and jisung ended up laughing their asses out because of what just happened, and it just worsened when he saw jaemin snort but was quick to bring back his irritated face.

"quiet, you two" jaemin demanded, and jisung and chenle were quick to obey. Jaemin's really scary when he's angry that even jaehyun and johnny who are older don't have the guts to joke at times like this.

Jaemin turned to jeno, not even noticing chenle who slowly walked out of the kitchen to go to his boyfriend's side, jisung quickly flicked his head because he'd let himself be dragged at something that would make him the demons out of jaemin. Chenle just gave his boyfriend a sly smile as they both watched the scene between jeno and jaemin.

"What explanation do you have? whatever that is, make sure that it's acceptable" jaemin ranted. "aish! it's been a week and I swear, you'll show up like this? in my kitchen all messy because of your fault?" he added, annoyance really visible in his voice.

"I was just trying to make a decent dinner for all of us" Jeno mumbled, bowing his head low, not wanting to make jaemin angrier.

"jeno, you can't cook!" jaemin fumed. jaemin knew too well that the older can't cook, because he swears that when they were still together, jeno had almost set his own unit on fire, and it was just a sunny side up that he was trying to cook for them!

"I know! I said I tried, okay?" jeno said back in frustration. he's frustrated that after all these years he still doesn't know how to cook decent food. heck, he even failed simple ramen.

"Uhm, should we leave now?" chenle whispered to jisung who shook his head and glared at him.

"We can't till we're sure that jaemin won't kill jeno" jisung whispered back or hissed back rather.

chenle rolled his eyes. "babe, this is their own personal issue, okay? don't you think that they could handle this on their own? and jaemin is not dumb enough to actually kill his son's father"

"you're talking as if you're not involved in this kitchen mess" jisung remarked. chenle snorted.

"I told it already, it was jeno who asked me for help, and since I'm kind enough, I decided to help even though there's still an issue between them" chenle told back.

"babe, you offered help even though you know nothing in the kitchen?"

chenle shrugged and smiled mischievously. "at least I helped" he answered cheekily. "come on, minhee's sleeping, I'm sure he'll wake up anytime now if that happened I think at least the tension will subside"

jisung rolled his eyes and turned to jaemin. "hyung, chenle, and I will leave now, please brace yourself and don't kill jeno, we don't want minhee to see you killing someone are we?" he whispered, giggling when jaemin turned to him and gave him a glare. he looks like an angry dog but jisung didn't dare to say any farther, raising both his hands and pulling chenle out of the apartment after they got their stuff.
