that evening
at like 8

jeno POV

i just came from tution and was so tired seriously I hate extra tutions they are so annoying but I have to do it

I was walking on the way to my house I really loved the weather today it was so pleasant

all the buildings were filled with lights all restaurants were full with group of friends or family eating together today was unexpectedly a night where the streets were busy and the overall atmosphere was so welcoming I loved it

i just walked pass a restaurant and saw them

I saw my parents they were eating with some friends and having the time of their lives they did not inform me about it

then I called mom

phone convo
jeno: normal
mrs lee: italic

"hey mom"

"hi jen"

"where are you"

"me I am at office jen"

there my heart and trust broke couldn't you just tell the truth why are you lying

"uh okay sorry if I am disturbing you bye"

"yea bye"

then I hung up my phone wow I can't believe it why are you lying mom you always told me I should never lie but you yourself lied to me I am not even sure if it is the first time she lied to me

I should not even call dad he would lie too sighing with a hint of sadness and started walking again

I was walking then I bumped at someone

"sorry" I didn't even bother to look at the person

"it's fi- oh jeno long time no see"

I looked at the person holy shit it's junwoo why the fuck is he here

"uh yea"

"what why are you so pissed meeting me damn we have been friends when we were so small"

then he showed his sly smirk which I hate from the bottom of my heart damn I wanna punch him so bad

jeno you need to calm down I know you get ready to fight when you see him

"we were friends you are nothing to me now" I said bitterly

"why where was the promise and let's not do a convo here let's go we shall have a drink together"

"well the promise was broken a long time ago and I don't have any work also I need to clear my mind sure let's go"

well roasting him will help me so much

then after some mins we arrived at a private bar we entered at the bar sat down at the counter

he ordered two glasses and handled one to me

I drank it and my throat burned with the bitter liquid,it is so weird that something bitter and which is awful for our health can sometimes bring peace in our minds and helps us forget the worst moments of our lives

"so even though I drank it u didn't drug me right junwoo"

"no obviously I didn't, I only drug people I hate and you were never one of them"

"really even after when I beat you up cuz of my anger well that is ur fault"

"jen I know that you were angry cuz of what I did but still I won't cuz after all we are still the same"

"I know we have the same problems but atleast I didn't turn into a fuck up"

"correction you did but left everything"

yea I am a little angry but he is right I was a fuck up behind my parents

due to my anger I drank the entire glass in one go

"woah calm down bro we aren't in a run" and laughed

shit his laugh got more annoying

"but still I have to go to my house"

"but your parents aren't at home"

"obviously they are not there they lied they are at work but are having the time of their lives"

"then we should spend time together and here have another one"

he handled me another glass

"what about you"

"well parents left me after I started doing things didn't feel a difference now stay with my aunt suprised that she cares about me"

"well I did too after you started being someone who is not you just for attention"

"well I did that cuz I wanted attention now I just like it plus I am legal now"

"I can't believe you"

and then took another sip what the hell he likes doing these things now I can't even believe I was like this before

"why jen you were like me before we were inseparable remember the times we used to steal beer and soju bottles from the shops and then we sat at my balcony and used to drink it and had the fun of our lives"

of course I remember it I was fucking 15 when I started drinking but it felt good I truly saw him as a good friend before but now no he has turned into a monster

"yea we were 15 obviously I remember but even though I hate you now I loved the moments we had and then remember we used to keep them in a way that our parents will see it and then scold us"

"I know right we were really weird, children igrone their parents from getting scoldings and then there are us"

"haha" then I took another sip and then said

"so what are you doing these days"

"um the usual"

"really you are still like that why"

"jeno you don't even know there is so much fun in breaking peoples hearts and I always do it in a most cruel way and it is so much fun"

my grip on the glass tightened I really can't believe him why he is still like this I really thought he would change but no all of them were lies everything he said were lies every promise he made were lies everything he said was nothing but lies

"so everything was a fucking lie right"

i was getting angry and he knew it and he had a minor look of fear in his eyes only he knows that how I can be if I become really angry, glad that don't get angry easily

"obviously jeno life is never true to you we always think everyone says the truth and we have hopes these are the actual truth but at the end it's nothing but disappointments and the disappointments excites me so I make fake promises and then break it it's really fun if you see it in my point of view"

i scoffed at his words and clicked my tongue wow I just can't believe it and I am getting angry I should just leave and go home

"junwoo i am going now let's never meet"

then I stood up

"but why we were having so much fun and let's meet again i would really like it"

"you think I care about you and just stop talking you know what will happen if I get really angry" I said sternly

he gulped at what I meant he is still scared of that incident yet he has the guts to talk about things which make me angry

"by the way" he said

i rolled my eyes at this

"what"

"nah just wanted to ask are you still with that slut"

"nope left her last year"

"do you still have her number"

"no why would I have it and why do you need it"

"nah it's just that I wanted her to fix her with someone I know"

I raised my eyebrow due to his statement

"really just that or you wanna fuck with her"

"ah if I think about it could do a threesome"

"I can't believe you"

"you have to I am like this now I can't be changed and why would I change this life is much better I am happy now unlike you" and he showed his fucking smirk

"you know I could punch you this second but I am really holding it in"

author POV

to say jeno was angry was an understatement he was about to be furious the lie given by his parents weren't enough that he had to spend time with him

he is regretting that he decided to talk with him now he is getting angry

his nerves were popping out cuz of anger and him being angry will make the person contemplate why that person made jeno angry

"i am just going to go I don't to make that incident happen again" jeno said and left

he was walking down the streets well actually running then he went near han river

then he started walking slowly sat on the bench to relax that's when tears started pouring from his eyes life was really frustrating for him he feels nothing but being a desperate attention seeking monster

those are the words he used to describe himself he is desperate to spend time with his parents and nothing else which made him finding ways to seek attention from them but all of them were flops cuz they were harmless then in his life he made junwoo

which made him into a monster, cuz of being with him he did many illegal things and it made him into a monster

the moment he realized he became like this he decided to kill himself that's where the abdomen scar came but he was saved by his neighbour who is like his aunt

from that day he decided he will never meet him

he was crying really badly suddenly rain started pouring but he didn't want to move and continued crying he hugged his knees

then someone saw him crying from a distance and approached him

"um excuse me but it's raining I think you should go home"

jeno immediately recognized the voice and raised his head

"oh jeno why are you here it's raining and are you crying"

then he offered a hug

jeno immediately hugged him and cried

"it's n-nothing renjun j-just my emo-emotions are popping up"

renjun hugged him tighly and was drawing circles at his back renjun didn't even mind that the boy was soaking wet he just wanted to make the boy feel better

he mumbled sweet words in his ears after few minutes he calmed down

"i am really sorry you are soaking cuz of me"

"it doesn't matter are you fine it's raining let's get you to ur home"

"i am fine and I will go on my own don't worry"

"nope you don't get a say I said I will drop you I will"

jeno smiled at the smaller boy's kindness and he found him so beautiful

he is such a beautiful person inside and out jeno thought whenever he saw him he always wanted to smile his stomach always goes crazy by seeing him and he gets the same feelings with the other boy too he is kinda sure that he loves both the boys but he doesn't wanna say anything cuz they just met and he is sure that they don't like him

then both of them stood up and were on their way to jeno's house

they were sharing an umbrella cuz jeno didn't have one and renjun always stays prepared

they were walking and were just were about to reach jeno's house

jeno suddenly twisted his ankle and fell really badly renjun held him but failed to stop him fall

"omg are you fine"

"yea yea I a- ahhh" jeno hissed in pain

"definitely not your house is just here I will treat your wound"

jeno nodded and he stood up his ankle hurt really bad and he was limping but glad renjun was there to hold him

they reached his house and jeno immediately sat on the sofa

"where is the first aid box"

"there" jeno pointed

he bought the first aid kit and opened jeno's socks

"oh god this looks kinda bad lemme put the ointment then I will use the crepe bandage"

jeno only hummed

renjun got really worried by looking at his wound he is never used to be calm when he sees bruises cuz it always reminded him of his parents but he will do it for jeno

he applied the ointment it actually burns he is shocked that jeno showed no pain in his emotions then he applied the crepe bandage

(I ain't a doc so don't have a fucking clue)

"it's raining really bad I guess it would be better if you stay"

"yea I will call kun hyung that I will stay here"

"and you are soaking wait lemme bring you clothes first you shower you will get a cold"

"what about you jen"

"you go first then I will" then he smiled

renjun helped the other boy to stand up and take him to his room

they arrived at jeno's room and jeno took out a hoodie and sweatpants and gave it him renjun thanked him and then went to the shower

after few mins he arrived and boy jeno bursted his uwus the boy looked so small in his clothes

then he went to the shower with renjun's help after mins they arrived and sat on the bed

"it's kinda late now so let's sleep you sleep on the bed and I will sleep on the floor" jeno said

"no I will sleep on the floor u sleep on the bed"

"you know I don't want to make arguments like fanfics make so both of us should sleep in the bed"

"sure"

then they were went to their sleeping positions they were far from each other but that didn't last long after few mins without knowing they slept

while cuddling
