I sort of rhymed a lot in this and didn't notice until I checked lmao

Jeno hasn't really seen Jaemin in a few days, well specifically have not interacted with the latter that much for the past few days. Yes, they're still acting, but only for a little bit and they both part ways.

Jeno was too busy with his life right now, he had to do extra shifts here and there and had to come home either before school starts or get caught.

Which almost happened considering Donghyuck was up at 5 five in the morning for some reason while Jeno had to finish another session with his client before the man could do any more. Yes, he did leave said man there in room 3 who was drunk as fuck.

Renjun has helped him with it all. He helped him clean up, also gave some foundation, helped him with the assignments or school work that he's struggling with especially since he drifts off to sleep most of the time and helped him make excuses whenever he got in trouble for something.

He was grateful of course, even though he has told Renjun that he didn't have to do these things and that he can manage, the older insisted and went all big bro mode on him.

Meanwhile, Jaemin was busy with football practice since there's another match soon and with his plans for getting Hana back. Apparently, Jeongin was still in the team and let's just say there was tension whenever they practice.

Jeno walks out of the bathroom after he finished doing his business and also because four guys went in to smoke weed or vandalize the walls instead of going to class.

He didn't mind them, they weren't the pervert types or people he had to distance himself away from. None of that, in fact, they were somewhere the title of 'friends' if you will.

He knows those guys are just skipping class because they often get humiliated and one of them has bipolar disorder, which means if they were at the bathroom getting high, the boy has been triggered or something.

Jeno and them were a bit similar, in a way. So he didn't really have a problem with them, they weren't perverts nor bad people. They're actually nice and had helped him in some days when they can.

But he needed to get back to class, so he gave them a wave and a smile as they did the same before taking out a packet of weed, he would've loved to have atleast one but not for now.

The raven haired walks to the stairs and stops when he passes by the janitors closet and heard some sounds. He furrowed his eyebrows and tried to think nothing of it.

Yet of course, curiosity won over priority.

He tests the doorknob first to see if it's locked before turning it to the side so he could open the door. He gasps at the sight and almost felt like running away.

He froze on his spot to see Jaemin shirtless and Hana making out, hands all over each other as lips were molded together.

Jeno couldn't move and watched as the two finally noticed him and stopped. Jaemin quickly puts his shirt back on as Hana fixes her hair but had a small grin on her face before walking out of the closet and towards her supposed class.

Jaemin clears his throat and walks closer with his arms reaching forward as Jeno finally snapped out of it and steps back, "don't touch me!" He said as his hands were on his chest.

"What the hell, Jaemin? Why were you making out with her?" Jeno interrogated as he felt a lump in his throat.

The said boy sighed and ruffled his hair, "Jeno, it's no big deal," what the fuck? How is it not a big deal? He just made out with his ex. "Why are you even freaking out about it anyway? We're just fake dating."

Ah, right. They were just fake dating, this isn't real, they aren't really together. So Jeno didn't have the right to get upset when Jaemin's making out with his ex, their main target.

Unless he has caught feelings, which it shouldn't happen because it was part of the rules. No strings attached. Just act until they both get what they want.

So he shouldn't be upset, right? They aren't together, it's all fake. Fake kisses and fake feelings. Hell, he 'cheated' on Jaemin since the very beginning because of his night job. So really, he doesn't need to be sad or anything.

Not when this is all an act and Jaemin isn't his, nor vice versa.

He blinks a few times and inhaled sharply, "right," he gulps, "just fake dating." He bites his lip and nodded at the older, "I have to go to class, see ya," he mumbles before leaving.

Jeno yelps, startled when he felt an arm around his waist. He looks up and raised a brow to see Jaemin leading him to the cafeteria.

"Why aren't you with Hana?" He asked in curiosity and tried to hide the sourness in his tone. Jaemin shrugs as he pushed the doors open for them.

"She's with Jeongin," he sighed, "we still need to act more, that thing in the janitors closet on Tuesday was just a quick make out for her. Apparently, she just wanted to play around but still not falling for it."

"Yet atleast," he adds and furrows his eyebrows before shaking his head, "I think she's starting to?" He paused, "whatever, basically we need to act more."

Jeno pursed his lips before nodding, "mkay," he mumbles quietly as they sat down on Jaemin's group table.

Renjun was already there sitting besides Donghyuck, who ignored his stepbrother but greeted Jaemin. Jeno just rolled his eyes and picked on his food.

Donghyuck was still not warming up to him, he just gave him silent threats in public and audible ones in private. He acts nice in public or atleast try to, but then attacks Jeno for either being an embarrassment or staying in the house in private.

Basically, there was tension at the house or at school, mostly at lunch. Only when Jeno is at the bar giving men their sexual needs or at Renjun's house hanging out, is where tension free.

He obviously prefers going to Renjun's place and hang out with his best friend rather than going to the bar and get fucked out by random men.

Even though he earns a few bucks, he still doesn't enjoy it. Well, some of them actually. A few of his clients are actually good and also doesn't push him to anything. Even a blowjob or handjob, strip teases, or anything else is fine.

Still, he would rather have best friend than wrinkly dicks.

He was shook out of his stupor when he felt lips against his. He gasps but kisses back and wraps his arms around the familiar person's neck.

After a little make out session, they pull away as Jaemin kept his arm around his waist and one on his thigh. "Sorry, they were watching," the caramel haired whispers.

Jeno hums in confusion and scans the area to see Hana and Jeongin nearby. He sighed and nodded before giving his best smile, a little forced but did his best.

"It's fine," he said and kisses Jaemin's cheek.

The caramel haired smiled thinking it was another act, but for Jeno it was more than that.

All while, Renjun had his eyes on them with a frown, feeling something is wrong.
