Dream (Norenmin)

11

"Jeno, stay home please? We should cuddle it's been so long." Jeno was on his way out to box with Jaehyun when Jaemin has to give him the biggest puppy eyes he's ever seen. He walks over and wraps him in a warm hug which unbeknownst to him makes the other feel all kinds of emotions.
"How about you and Renjun both come to the gym with me tonight. You can meet my friends and watch us box or work out or something?" Jaemin gets a little twinkle in his eye.
"Really? You actually want us there?" He asks happily while Jeno furrows his brow.
"Of course, why wouldn't I?" Jaemin finished his text to Renjun and looks up with an almost sad look in his eye.
"You just haven't been the same these past few weeks and I didn't think you wanted us, or me to know your friends. I thought maybe this was your hide away from me." Jeno puts his hand on Jaemin's shoulder and smiles softly.
"I'm sorry if I made you feel that way. It is honestly my escape but not from you, from me. It helps my stress. I didn't think you would have any fun around there anyway. But when we're done we can get a few drinks and grab some food." He hugs Jaemin again and of course he will not complain, any reason to hold the other in their arms is good enough for both.
After picking up Renjun along the way they were off, Jeno walking behind watching the other two happily chatting together the whole way there. When the three of them are together he loves to watch his two loves interacting, he thinks they are so sweet together.
"Jen, come up here." Renjun says cutely when him and Jaemin just decide to go back and each take an arm. Jeno's heart can't take this, it feels so right even though it's just an illusion.
He walks along with them of course, one on each arm. Jaemin has his head on his shoulder as they stroll slowly. There is no time limit so they are going to take their time and enjoy their outing.
When they walk in Jeno steps out of their hold as Jaehyun walks up to greet them.
"Hey, hows it going?" He asks eyeing the other two.
"Oh you you know the same." He says shrugging.
"Cool, cool. So who do we have here." He asks smiling brightly at the other two.
"Oh yeah this is my, my uh, this is Jaemin and Renjun. They are going to hang out then we are going to the bar later so yeah.." Jaemin and Renjun both smile politely after their introduction even though both of them are confused as to why it was so awkward.
"I'm Jaehyun, his boxing coach slash bartender extraordinaire." He says making a bow. They both giggle a little.
The two go find a spot against the wall as Jaehyun pulls the boxing dummy away from the wall.
"Ok so today I think you are ready for him, once you learn where to aim on him then we can spar."
Renjun and Jaemin are watching Jeno tape up his hands and pull off his sweater so he's only in a muscle shirt and even though they have seen his arms before they both can't help but drool over this new side of him.
Jaehyun holds Jenos waist to put him in the proper starting position while side eyeing the other two.
"I think they are a little jealous." He whispers in Jeno's ear which makes them both squirm when they see that.
"Psh, I doubt it." Jeno says focusing on the dummy in front of him.
"Really, their hot muscly boyfriend being touched and whispered to by an even hotter older man." Jaehyun wiggles his eyebrows making Jeno cackle.
Jaehyun can see even though Jeno can't even look in their direction that they are both ready to kick his ass after watching their interaction and he thinks it's hilarious.
After an hour of working on his form and getting in a good arm workout in the process he decides to call it quits so the others don't get too bored.
"I'm going to go shower quick and I'll be out soon." They both nod, both drooling over Jeno's now sweaty body as he walks away. They notice too that Jaehyun follows him and when they both come out together obviously having showered together Jaemin especially feels scared. Renjun is bothered too but again, he can't be selfish and expect him to be just his so he just swallows it down. They all leave together Jeno now walking with Jaehyun so he's not alone and the other two quietly follow.

When they get in to the bar Jaehyun walks behind the bar and wraps his arms around his love kissing his neck.
"Hey baby guess what? I brought you a surprise." Taeyong quickly turns in his arms.
"Ice cream?" Jaehyun chuckles.
"Even better, look." He points to a booth in the corner and he squeals.
"Ok ok I got this, you take over the bar and I'll go be their waitress I mean waiter." Jaehyun chuckles at his boyfriends excitement and watches him go over.
"Jeno, hi. I see you brought guests tonight." Renjun looks at him and at this point can't take it anymore.
"Ok why do your new friends have to be so attractive?" His face reddens as soon as he realizes he said it out loud.
"S-sorry." Everyone laughs so he shyly puts his head down and Taeyong watches Jaemin put his hand on Renjun's thigh effectively calming him.
"So this cutie must be Renjun and this other handsome guy must be Jaemin?" He asks looking the table over. Jeno proudly smiles and nods.
"Yes, good observation." Jeno says brightly. Jaehyun walks up and hugs Taeyong again watching the relief flood the other two's faces and chuckles.
"This beautiful specimen is my lovely boyfriend and co owner of this establishment Taeyong. We have both heard a lot about you." Now Jeno turns pink and clears his throat.
"Can we get something to eat?" Taeyong smiles knowingly and nods at him.
"We would like a pitcher of beer and some spicy fried chicken." Jeno ordered for the three of them.
"Coming right up." Both Jaehyun and Taeyong walked off leaving them to their privacy.
Taeyong watched from afar at the way they all would light up when talking with each other and they looked into each other's eyes so sweetly and he can feel the pain radiating off Jeno. He's not a psychic he's just observant. When he looks at the other two he can see the love in their eyes for him as well.
"Should I tell him? I think he needs to go for it. He's torturing himself and they are all so in love it's hard to watch." Jaehyun chuckles.
"Yeah even I noticed. I'm not sure if it would do any good but yeah of course tell him." They bring out the food and beer together and leave them again.
They get busy for a while with other customers and just as the rush starts to slow Taeyong sees them stand. He walks quickly up to Jeno and pulls him back.
"Hey, listen. You need to stop suffering, please. I'm sure you would be so happy with the results if you told them both how you feel." Jeno sighs and looks at them standing and conversing with Jaehyun.
"Thanks Tae but I don't know if I can do it. I'm honestly terrified." He says shakily as Taeyong pulls him in for a hug.
"What ever happens, when ever you decide, just know that Jae and I will be here for you." Jeno tried not to choke up, as he walks away saying his goodbye.

When they get to Renjun's house he kisses them both on the cheek and says goodnight.
"I had a lot of fun tonight, Jae and Tae are amazing people." Renjun says sincerely.
Jeno and Jaemin walk away and Jaemin grabs his hand.
"Thank you for bringing us. They really are nice people and it's nice knowing you have others to take care of you when you venture out on your own." Jeno frowns playfully.
"I'm not a child." Jaemin just laughs and pulls the hat off his head putting it on himself.
"Yeah right! catch me if you can." He says running away quickly. He seems to have forgotten that one of Jeno's favorite pastimes is running and is quickly over taken as Jeno catches him and takes the hat back as Jaemin just giggles the whole time.
