it was undeniably quiet and usually renjun would love it, but he is with jeno. since when had jeno shut his mouth? never. it scared renjun but it worried him more. was it because he disturbed something very important? did jeno have plans and was canceled because he forced him to do his homework? was it something what he said? renjun heaved a sigh, he had no idea what happened to jeno.

❝so..❞ renjun glanced up from the floor and stared at jeno who is focusing on his homework while he gets the privilege of owning jeno's bed for the mean time.

of course, after letting jeno change the covers.

❝jeno?❞

not even bothering to remove his attention on the notebook neither give renjun a look event for a second, the male hummed coldly. ❝hm?❞

renjun wanted to question what happened to him and why he is suddenly quiet but it might turn the situation more awkward than before. an idea then went to his head, his girls. jeno always loves it when their topics are the girls he always bring over.

❝i arrived here at your apartment and stumbled upon the same girl who came to our lunch table,❞ renjun chuckled to brighten up the mood. ❝that's the first.❞

jeno raised a brow, eyes still on his homework. ❝what?❞

❝well, i'd usually see you have different girls in just one day and seeing you settle for one today is very unusual.❞ renjun then decided to tease jeno, ❝have you finally found someone, hmm? ❞

that made jeno stop doing his homework and startled renjun when he had a straight look on while he finally did face to renjun's direction. the two of them made eye contact and not even for a short moment. they had a comfortable silence roaming around the room and the two did nothing but stare at each other.

but jeno soon broke the ice by a question, ❝and what if i have?❞

renjun shook his head to snap him from daydreaming and to get back to his senses.

❝what if i found someone?❞ jeno repeated, wanting to know renjuns's answer and reaction.

he didn't even know why he was wishing for renjun to be sad about it, to be disappointed, and even to the point that renjun would get hurt knowing that jeno had found someone that he would settle with. that he would actually be in a serious relationship with.

but instead, ❝that's sweet!❞ renjun cooed. that only made jeno frown. ❝so, who's the lucky one?❞

lucky one? that made jeno scoff. who on earth would feel lucky if they'll end up with him? he's one problematic guy who can't even solve simple problems on his own. his family is problematic itself. probably the only thing that person would be lucky is the amount of money he has. his family was quite wealthy and that was a plus points for him.

❝jeno?❞ renjun tilted his head to the side, wondering what's bothering jeno so much that he's taking too much time to answer his question.

the distracted made heaved a sigh and went back to the homework he wished to finish. ❝nevermind.❞

❝did i say something wrong?❞ renjun stood up and grabbed a chair right around the corner and dragged it right next to jeno. he didn't care if he'd disturb him, as if jeno doesn't annoy him during study hours. ❝you are acting strange.❞

believe me, even jeno has no single clue as to why he is like that.

❝are you really okay if i fall in love with someone?❞

someone that's not him?

jeno hoped that question hit renjun. he wished to the goda above that renjun would say no. he would even be fine if renjun would ask him not to be in a relationship.

and better if renjun would honestly straight up say that he'd be glad to be the one that jeno would have a serious relationship with.

but as expected, jeno received the opposite to what he wanted.

with a smile, renjun nodded his head. ❝why wouldn't i be?❞

🍑

renjun held the jacket tight as he was shaking on his knees, standing right next to unamused jeno. ❝are we really going to do this?❞

the younger shrugged, ❝are you planning to keep the jacket?❞

❝no? no.❞ renjun took a deep breath in before exhaling very loudly, earning a look from jeno. ❝but it's na jaemin we are talking about, the na jaemin.❞

having to see renjun admiring jaemin very much annoyed him to the highest power. he pondered on how jaemin caught renjun's attention. if it was because of his bright smile, friendly attitude, or how much of a good talker he is. nonetheless, jeno still is confident that he is much more better than jaemin.

❝then? na jaemin is human like us, what's so special about him?❞ jeno said, annoyance was clearly heard in his tone but he was left ignored by renjun who's busy calming himself. ❝are you that nervous to meet the person you like?❞

renjun paused, turning around to face jeno before pointing a finger at him. ❝i'm here to remind you again that i just find him hot and i don't actually like, like, him.❞

jeno wasn't catching up and renjun could see that from how he looked.

the chinese cleared his throat, ready to explain it to him. ❝it's basically like how you roll with your girls. you sleep with them but you don't actually have feelings for them. you only find them attractive and that's only it.❞

the explanation that renjun made for jeno was now understood by him but still had some questions in mind. ❝but why do you find him attractive exactly?❞

renjun gasped, taking what he said as an insult. ❝have you seen him?❞

❝he's ordinary if i do say so myself.❞

jeno just won't admit that he's jealous. even renjun had finally found out about it, it's pretty much obvious. he had known jeno since they were kids so there is no way jeno going to escape from him by keeping what he feel.

with a teasing smile renjun turned back away from jeno. ❝don't worry, you're still the most gorgeous man in my list.❞

renjun hoped that it at least lifted jeno's mood up.

actually, it did. it made jeno all flustered, his face heated up that anyone could mistake him as a tomato. but hiding it from renjun, jeno looked away and clicked his tongue. ❝i never asked to know that.❞

acting as if he didn't like knowing that.

renjun smiled, knowing him for so long. ❝i just feel like you deserve to know.❞

the two grew silent with renjun getting comfortable with jeno not giving him a cold shoulder anymore meanwhile, jeno stood behind renjun with his cheeks still being in a shade if pink. he didn't know if renjun was being serious about it or it was just for the sake of renjun making up for all that he said last night.

❝are you serious that i'm the first in your list?❞ jeno mumbled.

❝hm?❞ renjun chuckled at how jeno looked right now, so shy as if he's one innocent boy. ❝come on, you wouldn't get all the girls if you aren't that drop dead gorgeous.❞

seriously though, renjun wouldn't say it that often but he actually finds jeno very attractive. he can be cute if you want him to, he can be very hot, and even him breathing there is already stunning. but of course, renjun won't directly say that to his face. he finds it very odd for friends to compliment each other but that was an exception.

but if allowed, renjun would like to remind jeno that he is that most gorgeous man alive for him.

jeno still is, even if he lowkey finds jaemin slightly hotter.

❝i didn't get you though.❞

the chinese was then snapped out from his thoughts when he heard jeno's voice, ❝hm?❞

❝if i was that godly like attractive then i would have gotten y—❞

❝hey! sorry it took me long.❞

a person running down the hallways caught both renjun's and jeno's attention, making renjun smile so wide and jeno glaring at him as if it kills. then again, jeno should be thankful that he was cut off before he could actually confess in no time.

what was he even thinking? jeno shook his head and just stood right behind renjun as they watch the two converse.

❝it's okay jaemin, i had jeno to accompany me while waiting.❞ renjun said with a smile, surprised that he wasn't stuttering anymore. ❝by the way, here.❞

handing the jacket over to jaemin, jeno's eyes went to jaemin who had a bright smile on. you don't know how hard jeno was keeping his feelings in when he found out that it was jaemin's jacket that renjun used last night. although, renjun did get a scolding from him for not wearing thick clothes in going out of the house.

❝oh,❞ jaemin then gently pushed the jacket to renjun. ❝you can keep it.❞

okay that's it, jeno didn't like the idea of it. ❝dude, he gave you back the jacket. why can't you just get it and live on life?❞

jaemin raised a brow at jeno who just came and butt in their conversation. ❝and what if i want to give it to him?❞

renjun held on to jeno's arm before he could even take a step. he heaved a sigh before giving jaemin a small smile. ❝thank you but this looks expensive. i don't think i can accept it.❞

jeno then had a smirk on his face and crossed his arms, looking at jaemin at if he had won the match.

jaemin, on the other hand, remained composed and slowly took the jacket from renjun's hand. ❝i actually don't mind, i have plenty at home but okay then.❞ jaemin said, ❝i also don't think your boyfriend would like it if i give this to you.❞

❝yeah..❞ renjun then looked down and hand his hand on his nape, rubbing it.

jaemin soon then excused himself as he had a lot of things to do and renjun was just happy that everything was settled. he waved his hand at jaemin, knowing that jeno did nothing but just continue to glare at jaemin until he disappeared from their sights.

but then something just suddenly came to his mind, having renjun to react very late.

❝wait, jeno is not my boyfriend!❞
