jeno sighed as his phone made a sound, indicating someone texted him. why was jaemin texting him when he was in the same house? the first couple of days he kept his hopes up, always hoping to see that the text was from you, or one of the other boys. now, a week and a half later he had learned to not hope, the crushing feeling of disappointment feeling heavy every time he saw it wasn't you.
instead of calling out for jaemin, his throat feeling slightly sore from crying, he decided to check his phone instead. jeno felt stupid as he sniffed slightly. he didn't understand why he'd still be crying even after a week and a half. yes, he had feelings for you, but not once did he expect it to affect him for that long and that much. he didn't understand why it kept hurting, deep deep inside, the two of you were never even together.
his eyelids were heavy, another side effect of having cried, but despite his droopy eyes, he saw who had texted him. he saw the contact name. jeno pinched himself, slapped his cheek lightly, rubbed his eyes, but the name still lit up on his screen proudly. his phone made another sound.
"did chenle and y/n text you too?" jaemin came running from his toilet break, his hand clenching the device in his hand. jeno kept his head down, not daring to tear his eyes away from the phone in fear of the names disappearing if he looked away. just the sight of your name popping up on his phone screen almost made his eyes well up again. jeno nodded, yes.

jeno took a deep breath, the pain and loneliness that before was dominating in his chest quickly getting replaced by nervousness.
"jeno, let's fix things." he finally dared to look at his friend, jaemin staring at him already with hope in his eyes. jeno nodded, "yeah, we have to."
