Hello (IZ*ONE Yena x M!Reader)

Chapter 3

The streetlights illuminate Y/N. Every time Jae took a glance at him, he felt hurt seeing his friend like this. Jae is not a talkative person, but when he met Y/N for the first time, the boy reminded him of himself. He tried making conversation with Y/N first and they somehow click together.

Y/N opened his eyes and sees Jae's busted-up guitar beside him in the backseat. What happened is still blurry to him, but he does remember someone swinging something. He feels guilty. Jae did an unnecessary thing to rescue him.

"We're here. Come on, I'll take you up." Jae parked his car and both of them got out.

They walked slowly to his unit. Jae helped unlock the door and they walk in. He opens the fridge and took out a pack of frozen chicken nuggets and threw it at Y/N. He catches it and pressed it against his bruises.

"You know that Yena girl is there earlier, she got a good look at your pathetic self. So just give up on chasing her okay?" Jae chuckled.

"She's there? Ah... That was embarrassing." He also laughs thinking how uncool he must've looked.

"But sorry hyung. I'm thinking about confessing to her soon." 

"Why? She's not a nice person. She dated a lot of guys. Using them. And she's using you too!" 

"I believe she's not truly bad deep down. Don't worry I'll change her somehow." He argues with him. Jae just lets out a sigh.

"Fine. But just know if you get hurt, that's all on you." He lays down on the couch.

"It's all gonna be alright, hyung." Y/N tried to reassure him.

"You're sleeping here tonight?" Y/N plops down on his bed.

"It's late. Let this be my reward for saving your ass." He closes his eyes.

"Fine. Good night hyung." 

"Good night."

The next day...

*RING!! RING!!*

Jae's alarm blasting loudly throughout Y/N's small apartment. Y/N slowly opens his eyes and adjusts to the brightness of the room since the sun has been out an hour ago.

He bestirs himself to get up and turn off the annoying device that is making the loud noise. He sits on the edge of his bed and realizes that it's not coming from his phone.

"Hyung... Hyung..." He tries calling Jae that is still sleeping soundly on his couch. He tried raising his voice but to no avail, the guy still couldn't hear him.

He grabs one of his pillows and aimed it right at his exposed face before throwing it and hitting Jae right on his nose. Finally, he saw him move and stretch his body.

"Hyung. Shut your alarms before I shut you up..." He told him and lay back on his bed.

"Sorry... Damn you're a savage to me but a total simp when it comes to Yena." Jae yanked his phone out of his pocket and turn the alarm off. Jae's words made Y/N chuckle for a bit.

"We're all a simp for someone hyung...." 

"Well, you're not completely wrong."

The talkative ambiance earlier is replaced with a quiet one. Both of them are still collecting the mood and energy for them to go through another day in the university. 

"Go get ready. We'll go to my place and after that, we can get to campus together." Jae stood up from the couch and did some light stretches.

"Sure. Give me a few minutes." Y/N took his towel and walks to the bathroom.
