So Perfect - nomin

So Perfect

Lee Jeno always wished to escape from that little town that he was obligated to call home. He was so sick of the monotony, of seen the same smiley faces everyday, of hearing the same boring greeting every morning on his way to school and the same goodbye once he finished it.
The same streets, the same people. The same old lady on the same old chair that would always call his name to only tell him how handsome he is now; it was funny to know Jeno didn't even remember introducing himself to her ever before.
Everything was the same even when he tried his best to change it, and he actually did a lot to only fall in failure on every single try.

He stills has his last attempt shining brightly as he makes his way back home after another of those repetitive days at school. His blond hair falls over his eyes, making him a little annoyed because of the countless times he had to brush it back to stop bothering him only to have the same lock again on his face. And even when it looks like it's something new, his hair growing to the point he can't stand it anymore, it's also the same thing that happens to him every three weeks. So of course, Jeno is tired of living the same exact things all over again.

The blond is again lost in his own thoughts, trying to get his hair back to its place, complaining again how everything is the same, again, too immerse to notice that pink haired boy who looks at him with curious eyes from the house across the street.

"Jeno!" his mom soon appears in front of him as soon as the boy takes his shoes off, taking him by the arm with a smile he rarely sees on her, making him raise an eyebrow with curiosity. "We have new neighbors! They just moved in today, isn't it amazing?"

It takes Jeno a few seconds before he can actually understand what his mother meant by that. "New neighbors? Who would've want to live in a town like this?" he says, earning a scoff from his mother and a slap on his arm that barely hurts; he smiles, making his way upstairs to his room.

"They have a son, his name is Na Jaemin!" she shouts. "He is a good boy, and is your age! Make friends, Lee Jeno!"

Sure thing, he thinks before closing his door loud enough to make it clear he doesn't want to be disturbed.

That night, while walking in his room like a caged animal his eyes land on the silhouette of a boy that forgot to close the curtains. Even from afar he can notice the bright bubblegum pink hair he has and that lovely smile that comes his way when that new boy notice him staring.

The moment Jeno saw the same pink-haired boy standing at the front of his class, he just knew. The moment their eyes met and he saw again that lovely smile, he just knew. He knew he wouldn't mind making him a constant in his life and that, he thought, was a lot for someone who always complained about it.
Lee Jeno just knew his life would change the moment their teacher make the new guy, Na Jaemin, sit right next to him.

And it did.

It took Jeno a smile and  a few more words to be completely sure Jaemin was the new light he was looking for for so long. Their friendship bloomed fast, soon becoming the missing puzzle piece of the other. Neither Jaemin nor Jeno wanted it other way.

His lonely and boring way back home became impromptu getaways around the city for Jeno to show Jaemin his favorite places and those hidden gems he never thought he would be sharing. But it all felt right.

The nights were no longer just him dreaming about something else. Jaemin snuck his way into Jeno's life and home and so did Jeno into his, both spending together as much time as it was possible.

That afternoon was not different from any other. Before going home the pair got some snacks and made their way into the blond's house.

"Have you already decided what to do once we graduate?" Jaemin asked as soon as he entered the other's room, finding his spot right in Jeno's bed while the owner just flopped on the floor.
