jeno's lover. [✓]

"i don't want to talk to her, i don't want anything to do with her."

🗡

after trying to calm himself down by taking a nap, he woke up from a loud thud downstairs.

he tossed himself to the empty side of the bed, only to be surprised to see one of the oldest maid sitting on a stool.

he yelp out loud before covering himself. well, he mostly sleeps without no clothes on, it's a lot comfortable.

the maid kept calm to what jeno reacts, as he was the one to back more from the bed until he hits the wardrobe behind him.

"what are you doi-" his words were cut once the maid cleared her throat as a sign of him to not question anything about it. jeno quickly shuts his mouth before he crossed the line, this house is a bit chaotic.

"you shouldn't have pushed young misuse too hard, she's a woman. you are twice large than her" the maid said politely to jeno as his expression changed.

he wasn't in a mood to even talk about what happened earlier. he's not in the mood to face everyone in this building, but he has to.

he scoffs silently before looking at the maid. "can you stop treating her like a baby? she's literally older than me. it's not my fault that she's so horny about me" he rolled his eyes disrespectfully to the maid who only look down to the floor as a sign of respect.

"still, young man. she's not in the same situation like you. you have to understand what's happening in her mind, it's the best you can do" she remains calm even after jeno disrespects her.

"ms. hwang, this is about life or death. i choose to fight for myself. i.. may be nice at first but i can't take it. she needs therapy, i can't do anything about it, i'm not a therapist" jeno said, trying to be careful with his own words.

the maid let out a soft chuckle, which was a bit unexpected. "i've never seen young misuse so bright. it must've been you, young man. without noticing, you changed her a little bit. have you noticed on the way she always look at you? it is always full with pretty diamonds in it. you guys may be unmatched, but fate has done its work. it's up to you, young man" the maid smiles politely to jeno after finally looking up.

jeno didn't know what to say after catching up with her words. his mind was pure black. he took a deep breath, "ms. hwang, i want.. to live outside. i don't want to be here" he finally said as his eyes are helping back tears.

"thanks to this, i missed my own cousin's wedding. i want to see her smiling in front of me, i really was so happy to walk her to the aisle, that's why i was hiking alone in the forest— to lose some weight. not until i collapsed due to the heat. i actually wished yeeun is better, but i know it's hard. it's more hard for me to face it because i'm her target" after ms. hwang heard jeno's sad short life before coming to this, she pitied jeno.

jeno could only sigh instead of crying. he will not cry. "i'm really sorry to hear that. you just have to wait until the time comes, that's all i can say" ms. hwang gives jeno a comforting smile, reassuring him it is okay to be stuck in a situation like this, like how she was for years.

🗡

yeeun kept biting her well done nails as she was waiting for jeno to come inside her room. since he promised, it is obvious yeeun has been waiting for his presence to appear after hours of being in his room, having his own needed space.

she actually felt bad on what she had done to jeno. maybe she shouldn't, maybe she should. "it's, yolo" eunbin's words are still in her mind after yeeun told every single details to eunbin. she's a good listener, she also gives lots of positive advice to yeeun.

everyone near yeeun wants her to be better, they want to help her until she can finally cut the rope off. being stuck forever in one place is tiring, the door is hard to find, very hard.

suddenly, the door knob made a sound. it made yeeun stop thinking as she saw jeno already in his pajamas.

she smiled at him as he replies with a glare. which was odd to her, since she was being nice to the younger. "huggies?" yeeun asked in a cute tone after jeno tuck himself under the blanket and face to the other side.

her smile completely fades after seeing jeno's reaction to it. she just want hugs, but she guessed jeno is not the type to cool down after a fight.

jeno then signaled to her, saying to her that he doesn't want to do anything with her and no touching him. it upsets yeeun knowing he was taking it seriously, she thought it was fun to tease.

"nono, i want to hug you" she pouts. jeno secretly smiles, knowing the older finally admit what she truly wants from him. "jen!" yeeun hit him to drag his attention, but he shove her hand away.

she starts to whine like a baby, trying to make jeno change his mind.

"noona, no" he turn to her just to say those two words coming out of his mouth. once again, it broke yeeun's heart. she then kept quiet as she tug herself in bed with a sad expression, not remembering to close the lights as jeno was the one to walk and close them.

"i hate you," yeeun muttered as she kicked jeno from the back. 

"i hate you too, very much"
