Part 5

Renjun walks into his house, noticing his dad still isn't home. Weird.. he thinks to himself as he slips his shoes off and walks up the stairs to his room, sitting on his bed, too confused/focused on what had happened about 30 minutes ago.

"Wasn't that Jaemin and Jeno-?" He says out loud as he pulls out an old phone case and acrylics, along with a paint palette, cup, and brushes, going to the bathroom and filling the cup up with water. He stares into the mirror, examining the slowly healing bruises on his chin and around his neck, before walking back to his room. Setting all his painting stuff up and beginning to paint, ignoring the small hunger in his stomach.

Halfway through painting he begins to grow tired, ignoring the feeling as he yawns and feels his eyelids growing heavy. He checks the time, 6:47 am, shit, I should clean- he begins picking up his paints, going to the bathroom and cleaning his palette, brushes, and cup. Ignoring the paint he got on his hands as he walks to his room and finishes cleaning up before going to his closet and picking out a hoodie that goes past his thighs to his knees and light wash jeans with a hole in the knee from the last time he wore them and got tripped by someone on the sidewalk, he remembers he had to limp home that day.

He puts his pants on, being careful of the cuts and scars on his legs and thighs. He sighs as he grabs his phone and puts it in his hoodie pocket, grabbing his bag and swinging it over his shoulder, wincing a bit in pain, forgetting he had a bruise there as he walks out of his room, down stairs, to the front door and putting his shoes on and walking out, grabbing his key as he does, his dad still not home.

  Maybe he got lost? Don't jinx it Renjun, he'll probably be back soon he thinks to himself as he throws his hood up and pushes his glasses up, putting earbuds in and listening to Hug by Seventeen.

  He soons arrives at school, wanting to avoid everyone and everything, he stands to the side as he hears people cheering, clapping and gasping, gathering around three men, Jaemin, Johnny, and Jaehyun. Johnny, the school's flirt, well second, the first flirt is Jaemin, and Jaehyun, the school "sweetheart" one smile and his dimples will melt your heart yet he'll end up breaking it.

From what Renjun could see, Johnny and Jaehyun had a small thing going on yet he wasn't completely sure. Renjun knew Jaemin liked Jeno as they would constantly flirt with each other and whenever Jaehyun and Johnny were sick or "sick", Jaemin was always seen with Jeno, people thought they were dating, and Jeno and Jaemin never bothered to correct them, as it also made them more popular and more wanted by all the girls and some of the 💅✨ boys.

Of course, Jaemin and Jeno loved this attention, so that was another reason why they never bothered to correct people, also the fact that they did like each other, they've liked each other since grade school but are too chicken to admit it, but also, they felt like something was missing, or rather someone.

  "Huang Renjun, come here." the teacher had called. Renjun and walked to the teacher's desk as Jeno and Jaemin looked at each other, with a knowing look, they were both thinking the same thing, it's him, they both nodded and pretended to go back to work as Renjun had walked back to his desk, sitting down and rereading his paper, sighing, dad's gonna be upset.. he thought as he continued working on his current assignment.
